two older men went out leaving New
bold alone
But don't quite understand" quer-
led Mr. Stephan Maitland.
He heard a soft step on the stair
in the hall without; the gentle swish
of dress as somebody descended
from the floor above. A vision APP
peared in the doorway Without a
movement in opposition, without a
word of remonstrance, without throb
of hesitation on her part. he took her
in his arms. From the drawing-room
opposite, Mr.. Robert Maitland softly
tiptoed across the hall and closed the
library door, neither Of the lovers be-
ing aware of his action.
Often and often they had longed for
each other ON the opposite side of
door. and now at last the woman was
in the mans arms and no door rose
between them, no barrier kept them
apart any longer. There was no obli-
cation of loyalty or honor, real or i'm
agined, to separate them now. They
had drunk deep of the chalice OF cour-
age, they had drained the cup to the
very bottom, they had shown each
other that though love was the great
est of passions. honor and loyalty were
the most powerful OF forces, and now
they reaped the reward OF their abne-
cation and devotion.
At last the woman gave herself up
to him in complete and entire aban-
donment without fear and without re-
preach: and at last the man took what
was his own without the shadow of
a reservation. She shrank from no
pressure of his arms, she turned her
face away from no touch OF his lips.
They two had proved their right to
surrender by their ability to conquer.
Speech was hardly necessary be-
tween them, and 1t was not for long
time that coherent words came. Little
murmurs of endearment, little pas
sionatc whispers of beloved name
these were enough then.
When he could find strength to deny
himself a little and to hold her at
arms length and look at her, he found
her paler, thinner and more delicate
than when he had seen her in the
mountains. She had on some witching
creation of pale blue and silver; he
didn't know what it was; he didn't
care-it made her only more like an
angel to him than ever. She found
him, too, greatly changed and highly
approved the alterations in his ap-
pearance.
"Why, WILL" she said at last. Il
never realized what a handsome man
you we're"
He laughed at her.
81 always knew you were the most
beautiful woman on earth"
"Oh, yes, doubtless when was the
only one"
"And if there were millions you
would still be the only one. But it

Won You knew all the time that my
fight against loving you was based up
on a misinterpretation, mistake; you

thoughtful of poor woman.

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen.
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes. oats. etc
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and If we eat too much, az
most of us do the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train OF
ais result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:

by the registration office that if a
mail man cannot find a voter at his
address there is reason for suspicion,
and every one whose mail has been re-
turned to the registration office will
have to explain himself at the polls.
The police department also has detailed

FRUIT CROP RECORD BREAKER

SACRAME ENTO, Cal, Oct 31-A big
sh rtage in the amount of Tokay
grapes available for shipment to east
orn markets has not prevented the
1912 crop Of California deciduous fruits

cars, as against 1888 cars, the total
number of cars shipped from the state

PACKED MEAT RATES ARE
SUBJECTED TO INQUIRY

An important issue is being argued
today in the superior court room be-
fore John M. Eshleman, chairman Of
the state railroad commission, the
rate on packed meats between valley
points and coast points should be re-
duced.
The case was brought by George A.
Long against the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, Long alleging that
under existing rates the products of
his packing house at Imperial were
barred from Los Angeles.
Mr.. Long was ON the stand during
the forenoon. presenting his side Of
the controversy, and he was followed
by Mr.. Clifford of Los Angeles, traffic
expert for large shipping houses IN
that city, and both witnesses bore tes-
timony that the rate complained Of is
excessive. Just after the noon recess
Mr.. Clifford corrected testimony pre-
sented before noon, saying that while
he considered the rate on cured meats
excessive, he thought the rates on live
stock as generally fixed by the state
commissioners is fair

of the Southern Pacific Company, is

road in the controversy, but had not

ROOsEvElT's FIRST SPEECH
SINCE RECOVERY INSPIRING

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Greeted by
wave after wave of tumultuous ap-
plause--a deafening mixture Of cheers
yells and handclapping produced by a
great audience that jammed Madison
Square Garden to its doors-Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Johnson OF
California were welcomed last night at
their first appearance together on the
same stage since the campaign began.
Never in the history Of Manhattan
has there been such political gather
ing. The huge hall, which normally
will seat $4,000 persons, was packed to
the doors. There was not a vacant
chair in the building and hundreds
stood up to hear the message from the
two leaders of the Progressive party
Thousands and thousands more stood
in the streets outside. packing Madison
Square and the side streets, yelling,
cheering and hoping for just glimpse
of the two candidates.
To call the welcome accorded them
an ovation is to put it mildly. Colonel
Roosevelt's appearance, following his
escape from death at the hands Of an
assassin in Milwaukee, seemed to rouse
the vast audience to unbounded en-
thusiasm and the applause with which
he was greeted was prolonged.
The leaders of the Progressive party
were at their best. Colonel Roosevelt
showed few effects of his wound. but
was compelled to avoid personal greet
ing from thousands of his admirers
To do this he had to remain in seclu-
sion following his arrival in New York
from Oyster Bay. II feel perfectly
WELL" he said when he reached the city
but am compelled to avoid using my
right arm much"
The press at Madison Square Gar
den was terrific. The police depart
ment had assigned fully 1000 men to
control the throngs and to safeguard
Colonel Roosevelt, but at times It
seemed the police might be literally
swept aside by the flood of humanity
The place was filled long before the
former president and Governor John
son appeared.
No appeal made by Colonel Roosevelt
in behalf of the principles of the Pro-
gressive party since the campaign be-
gan was more forceful than his speech
last night, which was freely punctuat-
ed by the applause of thousands
Spea king slowly and carefully, to con
serFe his strength, he drove home his
with telling force The great
audience was in hearty sympathy with
him.
Governor Johnson's appeal was a fit
ting close. He told what California had
achieved in it's battle with special in
terests," particularly the railroad ma
chine which so long dominated the
politics of that state. He asserted thai
the ills California had conquered were
those which. in a larger degree, af
flict the nation and that the method
employed to eradicate them must be

aroused was scarcely less than tina

succinct declaration was greeted with
