You will read in ancient chronicles
that when the ruby-haired CRUSADER.
Sir Rufus de Burgh. paid his famous
visitnto the monastery at Saint-Brieuc
he said to the abbot: Now tell US,
old chap, how did you lose your hair!"
Nothing daunted. the abbot replied:
"Sir knight. 1t was red. so pulled
It out!"
A Maltese cross marks the spot
where the good man fell. and you may
see It to this day; but the end ID not
yet. for a certain fretfulness has been
attributed to the red.headed ever
since, and now comes wise Professor
Davenport. looking into them with the
eye Of science.
For our part. We think science 10
taking awful risks. and will discredit
itself We admit the frstfulness. We
have often observed It. Yet We hold
that the red.headed come into the
world peaceful and amiable. and have

But" she urged, q can't speak to

pose-suppose can't stop it,"
You must. It's the only chance.
They're delaying the house proceed
ings this minute just to get their
proofs in order to launch the story to-
night. They intend to use 1t to pre-
vent my certain victory. And they
must not. At the first sign that they
mean to do so shall have to go-to
your father and tell him who the Wom-
an is! l would rather be shot. But"
"Oh." she burst out Historically,
you wouldn't-you couldn't-do that!
You're not SO unutterably low as to
damn the future of a woman who once
trusted you-who-"
I've told you." he replied, that |

leader 1t is one womans good name
against the welfare of a nation. I
haven't the right to protect you.

feat the great principles | stand for"
You coward! You pitiful hypo
critical coward" she ragged. You
haven't the manhood to stand by
your own past. You'll let woman
pay your debts-and pay them with
everything that makes her life worth
living. In all these years I've felt that

always believed you would at least

1T is too late now for reproaches. .
he answered. For years I've been

Ing for the peoples chance Of victory.
And that chance has come. II they

"A woman's reputation is worth
more than any mere political victory"
Then" he commanded. tell yous

pairing to wreck woman's life to save
themselves. No code Of honor stands
in their way. They are out to win.

No, American Falls is not going to have any great
boom, but it is going to enjoy a very substantial growth
here to back up a town fully three times as big as we are
at present and our growth up to that mark is going to
be accomplished with the next few years. For the present
year our development will be largely in new homes erect
ed, but there will also be a few new business houses. Every
line of business is very well represented at present but
the town is sorely in need of a lot of substantial homes.
