For a long time he stood watching
her as she raced down the road
"At my peril" he mused, shaking his
head with a queer smile. "By George,
that's fair warning enough. She's
beautiful"

The positive radiance which followed
dlsmay in his watery eyes convinced
her beyond all doubt that her brothers
encounter with the tall Mr. Shaw was
not quite creditable to Bazelhurst arms.
She listened with pensive indifference
to the oft repeated story of how he
had routed the "insufferable cad" en-
couraged by the support of champagne
and the solicited approval Of two eye
witnesses. She could not repress the
mixed feelings of scorn, shame and
pity, as she surveyed the array Of men
who so mercilessly flayed the healthy,

strength.

Young Mr.. Shaw came TO the road in

was still mile from home and In the
loneliest part OF his domain. The Ba-
zelhurst line was scarcely a quarter OF
mile behind him. Trees and under
brush grew thick and impenetrable
alongside the narrow, winding road.
The light Of heaven found 1t difficult
to struggle through to the highway be-
low. Picturesque but lonely and SOM
ber indeed were his surroundings.
"some one comlngY" he said aloud.
as Bonaparte pricked up his ears and
looked up the road. A moment later
horse and rider turned the bend a
hundred yards away and came slowly
toward him. He started TO his feet
with an exclamation. The rider was a
woman, and she was making her way
Ieisurely toward the Bazelhurst lands.
"Lady Bazelhurst, I'll bet my hat"
thought he with quiet whistle. "By
George. this Is awkward My first

what do such women mean by giving

Naturally he expected to be very po-

not have been otherwise, The horse
woman saw him step into the middle
Of the road, smiling oddly but deferen-

color rose and there was Ayes, there
was relieved glenn in her eyes. As
she drew near he advanced, hat in
hand, his face upllfted In his most win

than Of repellence.

Then you are Mr. Shawl" she ask

tated surprise and an emphasis that
puzzled him
"Yes, madam," he responded gravely,

he politely grasped the bride rein. To
her amazement he deliberately turned

ficiency of $270,000,000. All except
per cent or $22,5O6,555, of this will be
taken care of through the reapportion-
ment upon the orders table of new
rates, even though the oldest members
are given concession of a maximum
monthly rate of So on $1,000 of protec-
ton.
The remaining deficiency, which is
absolutely confined to the present
membership, is to borne by the young
Ell members in the form of a fraternal
tay or loading. 1t will not be sep
arate tax, but is figured into the rates
for the younger members. This is held
to be justifiable as brotherly co-opera-
ton, being intended to relieve the 150,-
00G members above the deiniciency
creating age by sharing the temporary
burden with the 100000 below this
age.
In order to give the largest posi-
BILE protection with the smallest posi-
BILE assessment burden a further re-
lief is made to members more than 45
years old. This is a concession of al
lowing a cash payment of So a month
for $1,000 protection with the right tc
charge the remaining 81 or more a
month (according to age) against their
certificates, to be deducted with 4 per
cent compound interest at death. This

Privilege of carrying insurance part
ly whole life and partly term, e. g.,

lection good until death at any age.

LATAH COUNTY TODAY CLEAR OUT OF DEBT
TEDDY TELLS WOMEN
ABOUT LIFE'S VALUES

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Theodore
Roosevelt in the current issue of the
Outlook places himself squarely be-
fore the public as generally favoring
woman suffrage. He places the bal
lott as secondary to the home eow-
ever. He says suffrage cannot ever
be the most important of her rights
and duties. Her vital need is in the
war against vice. In part he says:

frage has been given the women l am

A call for all outstanding warrants,
issued today by County Treasurer
Ruth Broman places La,dh county up
on a cash basis, and wipes out the
county debt.
Under the terms of the state law,
all interest ceases on February 9, and
the holders of the warrants will. no
doubt, have cashed them in by that
time.
Miss Broman today stated thai all
the money needed to care for the w =
rants was in her hands, and that they
called for not more than 100000 all
told.
The action of the county board in
levying its assessment this year made
it possible for the debt to be wiped out
at one time, although it was in big
part responsible for the high taxes. On
the other hand, it has left the county
free from any encumbrances, and La
tab county is today in a better posi-
tion to build a new court house than
almost any county in the state.
