That things were getting on

from his conduct that evening.

HeIeD's Anxiety.

Thursday morning, the morning
after Hardy Maxwell, or Milton
Fletcher, or Stewart, or whatever
his name was, had dined at the
Ohlstroms' and had made his
avowal, Helen Ohlstrom was
awake earlier than usual. The
question continually running
through her head:
Am l engaged or am I not?"
was the question continually run
ming through her head.
During the day she tried to re-
call Maxwell's exact words. She
could still feel that first kiss up
on her cheek. And what was 1t
that he said? OF course she
must be engaged! And yet he
had not exactly asked her to
marry him.
He would surely call again that
evening. and then ii would be set
tied. But Hardy Maxwell did not
come that evening nor the next.
He wrote no line; he spoke no
word. 1t was very strange.
And Sunday she was certain he
would call. Dressed in her best
frock, she sat at the window
watching for him from two o'clock
until tea time. After tea Helen
went to the window again and
stood looking out into the deep
ening shadows until her mother
brought her back again into the
room.
Monday and Tuesday wore
away and Wednesday came, with
out a word or a sign from Max
well. Helen had given her heart
t6 Hardy Maxwell, and even If he
had trampled on it, it was still
his. His pledge to secrecy wor-
ried her; it added to her sense of
humiliation.
But this suspense was becom-
ing too much for her. On Thurs
day morning she could bear the
uncertainty no longer. Putting
I'm her things, she went out with
the idea of finding a telephone
pay station and calling up the
club where the men in charge
ought to know something about
Maxwell.
In answer to her question they
were sorry to say that they did
not know any Mr.. Maxwell there.
Was he a member? No? Only n
visitor? Please wait moment.
There was no such name on the
visitors list. Probably the lady
was mistaken in the name of the
club.
The result of her first inquiry
was so unexpected that Helen

Lying in the military hospital at An

is the hero of one of the most wonderful
stories Of self-sacriice and bravery the
war is likely to produce. His name is
Jean Berger, private, Second Regiment of
French Infantry. He is a volunteer of
Alsatian origin, aged eighteen.
During one of the engagements on the
Marine, Berger was crossing the battle
field at night when he found his own
colonel lying wounded, and started to

The two lay there for some time when
they heard the means Of another man

themselves to the side of the German and
forced some wine down his throat, but
both tainted after the effort When they
recovered, the German was dead. They
lay on the sOdden field until dawn came
and the battle began again.
The Germans advanced and a body of
Uhlans rode by. Berger hailed the Off

the dead body of his fellOw-countryman
with the empty French flask beside il. He
was profoundly moved, knelt by the
side of the wounded men, gave them with
his own hands what they wanted, and
saluted them as he left.
For almost the entire day the two
wounded men lay in a swamp, while the
battle ragged. They saw the Germans re-

This station became disabled soon after
1t was taken over by the Navy Depart

States to Germany and for other busi-

A Smaller Rivers and Harbors Bill

It is proposed to introduce in the house another rivers and harbors bill carrying $2O,OOO,O0O for the purpose of continuing the on projects which were begun under previous appropriations.
 There is a difference between $2O,OOOOOO and $S3,OO0,O00, the proposed to be appropriated by the bill which sheved by the necessity of enacting measure. Undoubtedly, but for that necessity congress would have voted as un- blushingy, as in the past, waste at least $73,- O0OO0O on unnecessary projects.
 As to how much of the proposed s2O, ,OOO 900 may be beneficialy expended have informing data None has yet been offered but the bill should be introduced we would probably find that every con- gressman who could push his way to the vicinity of the smaller pork barrer had arranged for his con stituents' share Of the ill-smelng contents
 The war has afforded this compensation: it has partially shown how much have been wasting on rivers and harbors and how little We actually need. Perhaps the democratic majority in congress does not deserve great deal credit for the failure of the original bill There is little doubt that the majority all majorities in the past have done would have passed it for fear of the indignation which would have been aroused by it's proximity to war tax bill It with reluctance that the democratic leaders, long after the necessity of a great tax had become apparent abandoned the pork barrel"

GETTING READY
 FOR CAMPAIGN
Progressive County Candi- dates Meet to Make Plans for the Next Month Solid Progressive Lineup in Apache

The progressive county candidates met at the party headquarters where arrangements were made for a Vigor- . ous campaign which will be begun at once and will be prosecuted to the eve of election. In the course of the cam ! paign the candidates will visit every section of the county and present their claims and the reasons why the af- fairs of the county should be put into progressive hands.
 Maricopa is not the only county where the progressive county candi- dates are in earnest and enthusiastic. l Apache. for instance will see a clear cut fight There is a full progressive tick | ct in nomination there as follows: for judge of the superior court, O. F. Ov | erSon, for state senator, John A. CrOS- ! by; for representative, Mary F. B. i Farr for sheriff, NJ. P. Peterson; for | clerk of the superior court, John H. UdaIl: for members Of the board of supervisors, John H. Plumb, Edmund Neleson and s. E. Day, Sr.; for treas urer Charles P. Anderson; for recor- der F. J. Whiting; for county attorney, 1 tI. r.. 1tttl, lOI dSStSSOI, w D. T<eiStI
 for superintendent of the schools. w.

 As there was no rivalry for the pro-
 gressive nominations in Apache coun
 ty many of the progressives and re- publicans went into the democratic primary, yet s. E. Day, one of the pro-
 gressive candidates for supervisor was
 one of the leaders of the primary tick et MT. Day is quite well known here
 having served term as a member of the legislature.
 It is certain that the next clerk of
 the court of Apache will be a man by ! the name of Udall, for while John H. 1 Udall has been nominated by the pro- gressives. Levi Udall has been nOm-
 mated for the same office by the dem
 ocrats. There is no republican nom
