m which Robert Maynard had prom
Ised to call, and she was writing to
him cancelling the engagement. A
Messenger, waiting in the hall impa
GENTLY. twirling a cap between restless
hands and a quantity of torn note pa
ner in the waste basket gave evidence
that it is not easy for woman to write
a certain kind of letter.
Even now Beatrice hesitated at sew
ering all relations with the man whom
che had found charming, but the mem
orv of his bleared eyes and flushed
drunken face wearing the expression
she had seen too often on Tom May
nard's countenance, moved her sicken-
inelv and turned doubt into determi-
nation
At last the letter was finished. she
read it over carefully,
my Dear Mr.. Maynard: I regret
that II will be impossible for me to see
YOU this evening. My plans are un-
settled and necessitate my asking you
not to call hereafter without previous
announcement. Very truly yours,
"BEATRICE MINOR"
The writer felt a qualm of uncer-
taintv as she handed the missive to the
impatient messenger a oualm which
had strengthened to doubt by the time
he had slammed the door behind him
Having burned her bridges, she began
woman fashion, to torture herself by
dwelling mentally upon the advan
tages Of the now inaccessible shore.
one minute she reproached herself for
her insincerity in not telling the man
frankly the cause of her displeasure
the next she was regretting, against
her better judgment, that she had been
so peremptory and final in breaking off
their friendship.
And while she thus pondered, the
telephone, as often before. sounded all
ruptiy across her musings.
Hello" she replied hastily.
rs Mrs. Minor in?" asked familiar
voice 1t was Robert Maynard
For a moment Beatrice hesitated
Writing a letter of dismissal was one
thing; breaking with man like May
nard by word of mouth was quite an
other
This is Mrs. Minors maid sir" she
replied in an assumed voice, and as
steadily as she could. Mrs Minor is
not at home at present"
Thank YOU'LL try to call up later"
said the masculine tones.
With trembling hand Beatrice re-
turned the receiver to its hook and
went back to her drawing room, glanc-
ing guilty. at the kitchen door as she
passed 1t, wondering uneasily if the
servant had heard her prevaricatior.
When Jack and Jean came home to
into his mothers eyes, asked with a
chid's keen discernment: aren't you
well, mother?"

herself to smile brightly why dc

GAMBLING NOT NECESSARY.

Racing is impossible without the
think so by great deal. 1t believes
that racing will carry itself as a good
clean sport, and that the "bookies'
are the ones who have brought into
discredit sport that is delightful and
deserving. There is nothing unclean
or crooked about the horses one sees
in such races as those yesterday, and
there can be nothing unclean or crook
ed about their races unless the races
be given over to the control of a
string of book-makers, gamblers and
and touss who are looking for easy
money"
Today the Latah County fair is offer
ing the fastest, cleanest racing in the
northwest. An unknown quality, an
absolutely new tract, yet it is so luck
lily situated that it has drawn the very
best horses on the northwest circuit
this fall, and the animals have given
us not only clean and interesting, but
fast races. The new Latah Fair as
sociation's track is for a harness al
most perfect. They fairly run away
on it, and such time as 2:13 in the 2:2S
trot yesterday and 2:07% in the 2:17
pace is enough to attract lovers OF
the racing game from all over this
section of the country.

Just as square deal as the public re-
,eived and everybody is pleased.
1t is most auspicicus opening of
he sport, on its resurrection in Mos
COW, and if properly followed up it
will mean that the little fair here can
nut on races, and good clean races,
which will attract lovers of the sport
rom the entire Inland Empire. All
hat is needed is publicity. We must
make the people understand that We

GOOD WORDS FOR TAFT.

Fremont (Ohio) Messenger: AS be-
tween Seylla Wilson and Charybids
Roosevelt, then it remains for the he
roic Mr.. Taft to save the Republic.
Michellville Qowa) Index: Any re-
publican who decided to stay regu-
lar" is for Taft. Taft is the regular
republican nominee.
Tacoma (Wash.) Register: The
country knows that in Taft it has a
determined president who will go
ahead doing what he deems for the
public welfare. though it may require
the vetoing of bill a day.
Buffalo New York; News: There
is an increasing confidence in the re-
election of President Taft and that
feeling goes far to reassuring bust
ness men and prompts to investment
which otherwise might be withheld.
Peoria (Illnois) Transcript: Pres
ident Taft must have the backing of
all honest-minded men in his recent
concerning the unworthiness
Of any man nominated as presidential
elector on one ticket who fails to vote
IN the electoral college for the nomi-
ices of that ticket.
Cedar Rapids Qowa) Times: 1t is !
he best example of executive courage
hat we have seen in recent politics. /
President Taft is doing more than We
ding bills. He is holding the country I
0 its fixed purpose that the tariff
hall no longer be plaything of pol
ticians, but that it shall be business
uestion. 1t takes moral courage to
0 this in the face of a pending cleo
on, but we believe that even from a
Official standpoint the president is
inning the admiration and support of
lie people.
