You must take this money for my sake.
don't you see?'
He rose and started to speak, but she
cut him off. "I know what is in your
heart; your pride wants you to refuse.
II you refuse, you do only one thing:
You deny me the relief of partially cor
recting wrong. That is all. Is it right
for you to deny me that? Will you
yourself not be doing a wrong?"
He was trembling; she had taken the
only road to his consent. But he made
TO motion toward the money in her out
stretched hand.
For my sake-I beg you'll implore
you She spoke tremulously, simply.
IF you like, I'll go down on my knees
He held out a thin hand, and she laid
the money in 1t. For your sake" he
said huskily.
"Thank you," she said.
Helen felt herself growing weak and
dizzy-the reaction was setting in. "I
must go. / can't ask you to forgive
me-but won't you let me, as one that
would like to be regarded as a friend,
wish that there may be brightness ahead
which you don't see?"
She held out her hand timidly. He
grasped 1t. He could not speak.
''Thank you,'' she whispered, and slow
ly turned away. At the door she looked
back.
MY best wishes are with you," she
said, and went out.

The more David pondered upon the
ills he saw about him, the less faith did
he have in superficial reforms, the more
deeply did he feel the need of some fun
damental remedy. Gradually he reach
ed the conclusion that the idea behind
the present organization of society was
wrong. That idea, stripped to its essen
tials, was selfishnes-and even mis-
taken selfishnesS; for self to gain for
self all that could be gained. Under
this organization the men that have the
greatest chance are those who are
and he that is all three in greatest
measure can take most for himself. So
long as the world and its peole are at
the mercy of such an organization, so
ideal-just so long will the great mass
of the people be in poverty, just so long
will crime and vice remain unchecked.
He began to think of new organiZa-
ton of society, where individual selfish
ness would be replaced as the funda-
mental idea by the interest Of the whole
people-where the dictum that "all men
are born free and equal would not be
merely handsome bit of rhetoric, and
where there would be true equality OF
charce.where the development of
sense would be possible-where that
major portion of vice and crime which
spring from poverty and its ills would
be wiped out, and there would remain
only the vice and crime that spring
from the instincts of a gradually i'm
proving human nature. And so, with
out losing interest in immediate better
ments that might alleviate criminal
making conditions, David lset his eyes
definitely upon the great goal of a fun
damental change.

CHAPTER XXXII (Continued)

THE full significance of what she
had said was just dawning upon
him. He gazed at her wondering
what must have been passing in
her mind these last few days. Mr..
Rogers IS very proud" he says. Hell

him"

lie shook his head.
Then l must take it to him myself"
She rose. "TH be ready in a few min
utes. You must come with me-"
He rose also. Her white face that met
him so squarely told him how deeply
she must have felt, how strong her de-
termination was.
"Yes, I'll come with you," he said.
When she re-entered the library she
was dressed in the suit of autumn
brown, and the brown hat with its
single rose, which she had worn the
day they had met at St. Christopher's.
He knew she felt the matter of her
errand too keenly to speak of 1t, and
too absorbingly to speak of anything
else; and so, in silence, they went out
into the street.
Twenty minutes later they entered
Rogers office. Just wait a minute,
while tell him you're here" whispered
David, and entered the living room,
where Rogers was. A little later he
brought her in, introduced her to Rog-
eTs, and withdrew.
Helen had never seen Rogers. Her
picture of him was purely of the imag-
ination, and imagination had put in it's
picture the hard lines, the hangdOg look,
and the surly bearing that might well
remain in the face and manner of a re-
formed criminal. She was totally un-
prepared for the slight figure with the
wasted, Intellectual face that rose from
an easy-chair by the airshaft window
and for the quiet gesture and even voice
with which he asked her to be seated.
She recognized instantly that to make
him accept the money would prove a
harder task than she had expected.
Thank you," she said, and sitting
down. she studied Rogers face for the
moment she was adjusting her faculties
to the new difficulty. Did Mr.. Aldrich
tell you why wished to see you?"
No" He would be courteous to her
for the sake of the request David made
to him, but his hatred of her father al
lowed him to make only monosyllable
reply.
To speak words that would show warm
sympathy for him, and no disloyalty to
her father, that was her problem Mr.
Aldrich has told me of your land enter
prise and how-it failed, she said with
a great effort, feeling that her words
were cold and Ineffective. He told me
how you lost a large sum that you had
practically gained. He told me that it
was-my father-that made you lose it,
Her first effort would carry her no
further. He nodded.
She clutched the arms of her chair,
breathed deeply. and drove herself on.
You should not have lost it. l have

me return TO you"-a bfown-gloved hand

You stayed till she ready to start. She rushed
off, bidding goodby and seeing out of the house

hurry she neglected to leave important message;
and she found reaching her destination that she had
forgotten something she needed.
OF course, she blames it you. Why shouldn't she?

Bailey Soon to Reply
To La Toilette Speech On
The Lorimer Election

Interest about the Capitol in the Lori
mer case grew apace this afternoon
when it was announced that Senator
Bailey is loaded to the :nuzzle on the
subject and will reply to the speech that
Senator La Toilette has been delivering
to the Senate picemeal the last few
days.
Senator Bailey is going to declare that
the La Toilette speech is the merest
buncombe and clap trap and is being
made only for the purpose of publicity.
He also will declare that all along he
has favored another investigation, but
he does not propose to permit the pas
sage of the resolution by which La Fol-
Iette names the men who are to form
the Investigating committee.
These two Senators have been rather
chary of mixing IT up on the floor OF
the Senate in rhetorical hostiliues and
have apparently measured each other 8
lances with a great deal of care.

full cash valuation in the assess

the control of corporations OF pub
lic-service nature will demand the

all questions upon which men and

make "cranks" out of a great many

All Kinds of Fruit.

Fruit conditions grow brighter,
and brighter every day and there is
no longer any question but that
Emmett country will have good
crop of all kinds of fruit. ESven on
the low lands where little was ex-
pected, there will be plenty of
peaches, pears, cherries, and apples.
The Westlake fruit farm reports a
big crop. Arthur Richards, the
owner, brought in this week glowing
reports and had twigs from his
peach, apricot, sweet cherry, prune
and apple trees to prove it. The
branches were loaded. Mrs. Julia
Cooke, across the road from the
Westlake, sent in twigs from an
almond tree that was full of nuts
nearly as large as pears. She will
have a big crop of peaches, apricots
and apples. The Beutler apricot or
chard near by will have a full crop

SAME IN BOISE VALLEY.

Our Fruitland correspondent last
week reports the sale of twenty acres
of orchard tract, by Hunter & Bow
ers to j. E. Stouffer of Payette at
5000 per acre, reserving the crop
which they have since sold for $4,-
500, making an actual price of
$1,125 per acre. This is ono of
the highest priced sales ever made
in the valley and it shows what may
be accomplished by patience and per-
severance on the part of anyone
who will show the proper grit in de-
veloping a piece of land. Probably
no country in the world repays the
labor expended on the land to a
greater extent than does the Pay
cite valley. The land sold for a
good figure, as land values go, but
an income of 1925 per acre without
touching the fruit is better than any
thing we have ever seen offered
