THROUGH Purple Curtains.

VAT HEN Nan made up her mind
WME she acted with lightning
WW rapidity. She would force
Stuart to an avowal OF love
that would fix their relation be-
yond disturbance by the little singer.
She had too fine a sense OF values to
permit herself to become entangled
in an intrigue.
She could wait and gain ia power
for the waiting. Her physician had
told her that Bivens' days were num-
bered.
But on one thing she was deter
mined. She must know that Jim loved
her still, loved her passionately, mad
ly as she believed he did, But he
must say 1t. She had no difficulty in
persuading Bivens to urge Stuart TO
visit their country estate In the noun
tains OF North Carolina. The doctor
had ordered him there to live in the
open air.
The young lawyer refused to go at
first but Bivens urged with such pa
thetic eagerness he was compelled to
accept.
1t was a warm. beautiful morning
the last week in March when he alight-
ed on the platform of the little railroad
station on the estate and took his seat
beside Nan in her big touring car. The
fruit trees were in full bloom. and their
perfume filed the air. The hum or
bees and the song of birds he had
known in his boyhood thrilled his heart.
Its glorious. Man, he exclaimed
'Your coming makes 1t perfect. Jim.
she answered tenderly.
AS the river made a graceful curve
Bivens' house swept into full view-a
stunning pile of marble 800 feet long,
its tower piercing the turquoise sky In
solemn grandeur. The stone parapet
on which its front wall was built rose
in massive strength hundred feet
from the ledge In the granite cliff be-
fore touching the first line of the white
stones of the house itself.
At the end formal garden had been
built on the foundations Of masonry
which cost 100000.
For an hour the car swept like spir-
it over the miles Of smooth macadam
private roads Bivens had built. At
each graceful turn his wonder increas-
ed at the luxurious outlay of millions.
From each hilltop as the huge CLEAN
ing castle came into view from new
angle, revealing its marvellous beauty,
he thought with touch Of pity OF the

They sat down on the ledge of

turquoise skies. Over it all brooded
the deep. solemn silence of eternity.

BRIDGING DEATH VALLEY.
Civilizations Efforts to Subdue That
Defiant Region.

Of all earth's waste places the desert
Is the most impressive and the most
aDhorrent. 1t was almost impossible
at times to secure laborers on the San
Pedro railway route that skirts Death
valley through southern Nevada and
California. The loneliness struck a
chill into the hearts of diggers and
track layers.
For many years Death valley has
made good its name and taken CHASTITY
toll of those who ventured on its track
less stretches. Arid. its only yegeta-
ton the gnarled and twisted cactus, it
covers many thousands of square miles
or absolute waste. But civilization is
breaking in upon this defiant region.
Irrigation is reforming it. Railways
are Sundering its insuar unity. Wag-
on roads. too, are penetrating it here
and there. Daring prospectors are
threading it with narrow trails. and
now the automobile drivers propose to
run highway through the arid dust
from nlargc to marge.
Recently representatives of the Au-
tOmobile Club of Southern California
started from Los Angeles to begin the
work of mapping and placing signs
across l,J00 miles of desert road in
Death valley and the surrounding ter
ritory. In addition to the task of map
ping the roads. the water holes will he
charted, and the heavy steel signs are
to give road directions and the location
of water supplies. Seven routes in all
are to be charted. which means the
covering of LOO miles of desert sign
posting through the most arid region of
America.
1t means. too. that the last uncharted
and uncultivated section of our nation
is to be reclaimed and made accessible.

First Minnesota Conviction.

A. R. Ruhnke, president of the
Minneapolis Milk company, was yes
terday found guilty Of conspiracy to
raise the price of milk. Ruhnke was
one of five indicted and the first to
be tried. The conviction carries a
penalty of up to five years and $5,-
600.
This is the first conviction under
the Minnesota antitrust laws. Evi-
dence in the. case was largely secured
by the use of photograph which was
placed in the room in WIFI CHI the five
indicted men met and agreed on the
raise. A stenographer at the other
end took down the supposedly secret
conversation. Attorneys for the de-
Tense tried to impeach the testimony
of the stenographer but were unsuc-
cessful. - ~
1t is possible that the case may be
fought to the supreme court in order
to test the validity Of the law. On
the face of it, the people have a rem
edy for some high prices. -
