Ann Rose looked at Dick Foster
from innocent gray eyes. And Is 1t
as bad as all that?" she asked lightly
when he had concluded his tale Of
love with hint that life would be
unbearable without her.
"As bad as what" he asked quick
~, resenting the half-hidden raillery
in her voice.
THAT life will be empty without
poor little me?"
"Oh-that! Why. Miss Ann. you
know we always add that-for good

and looked down at her.
Ann bit her lip and hung her head.
She hated to dismiss Dick Foster.

riage had gone OF in an entirely diff

planned for. Ann Rose was a most

DISTANCE GOVERNS
| D|sTR|BUTuE RATE
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
ANNOUNCES PRINCIPLE IT
WILL FOLLOW.
Rates to Apply Alike to all Jobbing
Centers, Being the Same East from
Puget sount as West from Spokane
"Details To Be Withheld for the
Present.

olympia, Oct. 28-"When the new
dlstributive rates for Washington are
made public they will apply alike to
all Jobbing centers, being the same
east from Puget Sound as west from
Spokane, is the announcement made
by the public service commission.
This state has already had it's hear
lngs, and while the exact rates will
not be announced until after the Ore
gon commission and the interstate
commerce commission rates are fixed
SO that all may be in harmony. the
principle upon which they will be
based is outlined.
On Distance Basis.
The Washington commission has
reached the decision that distributive
rates shall be on distance tariff
hasls; not on the general tariff basis,
but on what might be termed mer-
chandise distance tariff designed for
the purpose of forming distributiye
rates in this state.
While this commission is not pre-
pared to make public the exact rates
which have been drawn, because of
the necessity of having them in har-
mony with the other rates to be pro-
mulgated, and the effect they might
have on the jobbing business of
Washington, they will apply equally
out of all jobbing centers.
Lower Than Glass Rates.
They will be lower than the special
class and commodity rates, except
where affected by water competition.
The new rates will provide the
maximum and not the minimum that
may be charged and can be made
lower by the railroads, provided there
is no discrimination shown
1t is expected that there will be
substantial reductions in the long
hauls and less on the short hauls, as
the hearings brought out little COM
plant against rates for distances up
to 100 miles, but there was much
protest against distances over 100
miles.

''Ten you were merely flattered by
my interest? And the rest OF it

He hesitated a moment What
part do you refer to-" He had fold
ed his arms across his broad chest
and was looking down at her from
sparkling dark eyes.
+ She flushed rosily. "You know
about your-regard for me-" And
the pulse in her throat fluttered more
widely.
Regard? Was that the word?"
Love then" she flashed. What
difference does 1t make when you
didn't mean any of it,"
Foster was silent. His eyes seemed
to be reading her face. now slightly
turned from him. He scanned the
crown of golden brown hair, the deli
cate arch Of dark brows. the curling
sweep Of long lashes. against her
cheek and he did not overlook the
pulse at her throat His eyes grew
tender. but his lips did not lose their
decision.
He held out his hand. Perhaps
you win say goodbye and wish me
