CHAPTER v.
MENans. s. RI

The car ran silently through the
park and out on the broad Sheridan
road. Orme put on as much speed as
was safe In a district where there
were SO many police. From time to
time the girl indicated the direction
with word or two She seemed to
be using the opportunity to rest, for
her attitude was relaxed.
The hour was about eleven, and the
streets were as yet by no means de-
serted. AS they swung along Orme
was pleased by the transition from
the ugliness of central Chicago to
the beauty of enthusiastically beauti-
full by night. The great highway fol-
lowed the lake, and occasionally,
above the muffied hum of the motor,
Orme could hear the tapping of the
wavelets on the beach.
The girl reused herself. Her bear
ing was again confident and untired.
Have you been up this way before 2"
she asked.
mo, Girl"
This is Buena park we are passing
now. We shall soon reach the city
limits"
Clouds had been gathering, and
suddenly raindrops began to strike
their faces The girl drew her cloak
most closely about her. Orme looked
to see that she was protected, and
she smiled back with brave attempt

He was selfishly glad in her answer,

said.
where is IT."
81 left It around the corner. The
thought came to me that Mr.. Poritol
might be here, and / didn't wish him
to recognize it"
0rme thought of the hard quest
the girl had followed that day-bat-
Ting for her fathers interests. What
kind of man could that father be
to let his daughter thus go into diff
culties alone? But she had said that
her father was unable to leave the
house. Probably he did not know how
serious the adventure might be. Or
was the loss of the papers so desper-
ate that even a daughter must run
risks?
Together they went out to the
street. Orme caught a dubious glance
from the clerk, as they passed
through the lobby. aud he resented
1t. Surely anyone could see
The girl led the way around the
corner into side street. There stood
the car. He helped her In and with
out word saw that she was restfully
and comfortably placed In the seat
next to the chauffeur's. She did not
resist the implication of his mastery.
He cranked up, leaped to the seat
beside her, and took the levers.
(Which way, Girl?" he asked.
North" she answered.
The big car swung out in the Lake
Shore Drive and turned in the direc-
ton of Lincoln park.

at cheerful comradeship Don't worry
about me" she said. I'm quite dry"
With that she leaned back and drew
from the tonneau a light robe, which
she threw about his shoulders.
The act was an act Of partnership
merely, but Orme let himself imagine
an evidence of solicitude In her
thoughtfulness, And then he demand
ed of himself almost angrily: What
right have to think such thoughts?
She has known me only an hour"
But to him that hour was as a
year, SO rich was its experience. He
found himself recalling her every
change Of expression, her every char
acteristic gesture. She has accepted
me as friend" he thought, warmly.
But the Joy of the thought was modi-
fled by the unwelcome reflection that
the girl had had no choice. Still, he
knew that. at least, she trusted him,
or she would never have let him ac-
company her, even though she seri-
ously needed protection.
They were passing great GENE
terry. The shower had quickly ended
The white stones and monuments fled
by the car like dim and frightened
ghosts. And now the car swung along
with fine houses, set back in roomy
grounds, at the left the lake at the
right.
do you know this cityP" the girl
asked.
81 think not, Have we passed tho
Chicago limits?"
yes. We are In Evanston"
"Evanston!" Orme had a glimmer
The girl turned and smiled at him.
"Evanston--Sheridan Road"
"Evans-S. r." exclaimed Orme.
She laughed low laugh. "Ah,
Monsieur Dupin!" she said.
Speeding along the lake front, the
road turned suddenly to the left and
west, skirting large grove of trees
which Rugged the shore. Just at the
turn was low brick building on the
beach, THE life-saving station" ex-
planned the girl; and these are the
grounds of the university. The road
goes around the campus, and strikes
the lake again mile or more farther
north"
Large buildings were at their right
after they turned. Orme noted that
they were scattered among the trees
some near the street, some at a dis
lance back. Then the road again
turned to the north, at a point where
less imposing streets broke In from
the west and south
stop at this corner" said the girl.
Orme threw on the brakes.
1--WE are In Evanston, on the Sheri-
dan road" she said, land this street
cutting in from the south is Chicago
avenue"
"'Chi Al" exclaimed Orme.
She had taken the paper from the
pocket of her coat, and was scan
ming 1t closely. One hundred PAGES
north and two hundred and ten east.
IT. must mean tree"
Orme jumped to the ground. He
noticed that the university grounds
we're cut off from the street by an
iron fence. There was a gate at the
corner by which they had stopped.
The gate was not closed. If 1t we're
customary to shut 1t at night, there
had been some neglect on this partie-
ular evening.

India's National Dish.

Rice and curry is the national dish
In India. Just barely enough curry
to flavor, and each grain when cooked
is pulled up all by itself of snowy
lightness. Small quantities of meat,
or dried fish, are served with the cur.
ry sauce, freshly made of cocoanut
water, peppers, tumeric, etc. The
West African and West Indian do not
use curry, but season by boiling 1t
with piece Of salt fish, salt pork or
chicken. Polished rice is cheat, and
eaten exclusively is deadly, SO should
by right and law be kept ost Of New

BRYAN ON ADVERTISING

1t is the lot of the wise man to be
asked fool questions. In fact, the
asking is an acknowledgment of the
wisdom of the man of whom the in
quiry is made. Nobody ever asks a
fool question of a fool, for a fool
answers fool according to his folly
and there is no question whereto the
asker so honestly wants wise an
swer as a fool question.
This being so, the man who asked
William J. Bryan whether he really
believed in advertising, paid Mr.. Bry-
an a compliment. 1t happened in
Reading, Pa, last winter, and the
modern Commoner indeed showed
that he was a wise man by the reply
he made. 1t was: "The fellow who
tries to attract business without adj
vertising is like the fellow who
throws kisses his sweetheart silent
kiss in the dark. He knows what he
is doing-but nobody else does

from the people are acquiring, and
will further acquire. vast tracts of
land for an advance in price. This
will saddle the burden of speculative
value on the settler, in addition to
the burden of the cost of clearing the
land, and will of itself discourage set
Element. The object of the States
policy is naturally to put the land in
the hands of the settlers as cheaply
as possible, and thus encourage the
development of it's resources and the
individual ownership of the land The
present State Highway Commission is
doing commendable work; but in the
past the people Of Minnesota have
spent vast sums of money for roads
without an actual present value. of
more than ten per cent of the amount
invested. Recent laws have bettered
road conditions. Those who have de-
manded that Minnesota apply modern
methods of community settlement, OF
pushing the roads in before the set
tier, of helping him if need be, have
been howled down as fanatics. The
settler who has gone on to State
lands, far from railroad and schools,
without roads or neighbors, on the
promise of conditions shortly being
bettered, has been sorely disappoint-
ed. There has been no intelligent
vision in the methods of the State
officials. Minnesota is the gateway
to the great Northwest. 1t is an agri-,
cultural empire. It is only ques-
ton of brief time when it's prairies
will fill with sturdy citizenship, as
sturdy as that Of it's present towns
and cities. 1t is up to the State now
to keep an eye on the men whom it
has entrusted with the protection of
it's public lands. If this is not done,
the advancing settler will pass across
Minnesota's borders into more invit-
ing fields. H..
