THE RIGHT MOVE.

The decision OF the directors of
School District No. 1, to install man
ual training in the Heppner High
School the coming year is one to be
highly commended. The good to be
obtained from sVcn work has not
been questioned BY our school board
and this has been the subject of much
discussion on their part in times
past; the only reason it has not been
soner adopted has been the lack of
sufficient funds to hire an instructor
and install the equipment. 1t has
been ascertained. however, that nee
essary equipment for starting the
work is not expensive, and there is
no need of elaborate preparation
along this line at the present time.
Tools and work benches for doing
wood work will be the first to be put
in and as interest grows in the work
and there is need of it, additional ap-
paratus can be supplied. Further
more it was found necessary to add
to the teaching force as the school
has been running short one teacher
for the past two years and the work
is reaching such a point that it can
not be successfully handled with the
short force This year the manual
training is to be handled by an in
structor who will also teach other
branches in the High School and have
charge of the training of the young
fellows in their athletics. This lat
ter is not an unimportant factor in
school work these days and we are
glad to know that it will be in COM
petent hands. Heppner High is NOV
ing right to the front and is becom-
ing more of a drawing force to this
town every year. We are proud of
this school and are willing to back
every move that is made to increase
its efficiency.

NEW EXPLOSIVE KILLS BY
AFFIRMATION.

The rumor in circulation since the
beginning of the war to the effect
that the French were in possession
of a secret explosive capable of des-
troying life on a scale not heretofore
dreamed of, by the production of
deadly asphyxiating gases, has been
confirmed by the French military
authorities. This explosive is called
turpinite, and is the discovery of M.
Eugene Turpin, the inventor of nell
mite. 1t has already been used in
limited way and the statement is now
made that preparations have been
completed for using it on large
scale in the coming operations
against the Germans.
At the opening of the war the eff
fects of exploding turpinite were
familiar to the experimenters work.
ing with it in the laboratory. 1t
could only be exploded by vibration
and at that time there seemed no
safe way of firing it from a gun for
the reason that the vibration caused
by the discharge of the projectile was
| likely to explode it before it had got
clear of the gun.
With a new field piece invented in
December it is possible to fire shells
charged with turpinite without dang
er to the firing party, and it is report
ed that the French and British arse
nails have been busy day and night
since then making the shells and the
guns for firing them.
When the shell explodes the gases
caused by the explosion spread over
the ground in circle having diam
eter of about 100 yd. The gases pro-
duce paralysis of some of the vital
organs of the body, with the result
that every living thing within this
circle is killed instantly and pain
lessly, and so far as is now known
there is no defense against nor anti
dote for the action of these gases ii
the turpinite does all that is claimed
for it, trenches will furnish practic-
ally no defense against it. The gases
from a shell exploding within so yd
of the trench will simply settle into
the trench and kill the men shelter
ed in it. Shrapnel-proof and bomb
proof covers will be of little use, fol
the gases in their deadly work will
find their way through the smallest
opening.-From the June number OF
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

to be on the upgrade and there is
activity along all lines generally.
This is true. This town has not
been hit by the so-called business de-
preston of the past eight or ten
months. On the contrary, building
operations have increased as we'll as
commercial industries, and at the
present time there are scarcely en-
ough business buildings to supply the
demand. AS one man remarked the
other day, Maybe you haven't MOTTO
ed it, but Heppner is having a quiet
boom right now" Today there are
no less than four families who are
searching the town over for houses
to rent. The few houses that are for
rent are all filled up. This Is quite
contrast to other towns the country
over, that have an abundance of va
cant houses and idle men. 1t speaks
we'll for Heppner, for she has neither.

So far, the paper contains no adver-

port entirely from the subscription
end. The ads. will come later, We
presume, when Mr.. Chapman shall
have reached something of the ex-

ton is entitled to. The paper is just
full of good things-valuable infor-
mation-from front to back, and the
voters of Oregon should not be slow
in giving this paper their support.

Rains came rather late to Morrow

CHAPTER XVII.
The Ambush.

Not long after, from the musicians
bower the sound of Home, Sweet
Home" drifted over the poignant rose
scent, and presently the driveway re
sounded to rolling wheels and the
voices of negro drivers, and the house
entrance jostled with groups, mUffled
in loose carriage-wraps, silken cloaks
and light overcoats, calling tired but
laughing farewells.
Katharine, on the step, found her
self looking into Valiant's eyes. How
ioyed it all?" she said. 1--WE stayed
till the very last minute-which is
something for ones fourth season!
And now, goodby, for we are off tomor-
row for Hot Springs"
Her father had long ago betaken
himself homeward, and the big three
seated surrey-holding six comf'table
and nine fumiliah,' in the phrase of
Lige the coachman-had returned for
the rest: Judge Chalmers, the two
younger girls and Shirley. Katharine
greeted the latter with a charming
smile. What more natural than that
she should find herself straightway on
the rear seat with royalty? The two
girls safely disposed in the middle, the
Judge climbed up beside the driver,
who cracked his whip and they were
off.
The way was not long, and Katha-
rine had need of dispatch if that re-
vengeful weapon were to be used

with that kiss, some deep irrevocable
thing, shy but fiercely strong, that had
sprung to him at that lip-contact as
steel to magnet. The foliage about
them fared up in green light and the
ground under her feet rose and fell
like deep sea-waves.
She lifted her face to him. 1t was
deathly pale, but the light that burned
on it was lit from the whitest altar

He held her crushed to him. She
could feel his heart thudding madly.

ooh. do you mind?" she responded
gratefully. 1T has been a fairly siren
uous day, hasn't it,"
He guided her to a corridor, where
branches of rhododendron screened an
alcove of settees and seductive cush-
ions. Here, her WEAKNESS seemed put
to rout. There was no dropping of
fringed lids, no disconcerting si-
Iences; she chartered with ease and
piquancy.

the evening" she said. And you de-

are attempting-th restoring of this

things. For instance, back on the

He ended with a half laugh, sudden
~ conscious that he was talking in a
language she would scarcely under
stand-in fact, in a tongue new to him
self. But there was no smile on her
lips and her extraordinary eyes-cool
gray. shot through with emerald
were looking into his with frankness
and sympathy he would not have
guessed lay beneath her glacial pla-
cidity.
To Katharine, indeed, it made little
difference what philanthropic fads the
man she had chosen might affect as
regarded his tenantry. Ambitions like
these had a immortal flavor that did
not displease her. And the Fargo mil
lions would bear much harmless ham
mering. A change, subtle and incom-
municable, passed over her.

CHAPTER XXVI.
The Doctor Speaks.

While the vibrant strings hummed
and sang through the roses, and the
couples drifted on tireless and con-
tent, or blissfully sat OUT dances on
the stairway, Katharine Fargo held
her stately court no less gaily for the
steaIthy doubt that was creeping over
her spirit. She had been so certain
of what would happen that evening
that when her father between cigars
on the porch with Judge Chalmers
and Doctor Southal) had searched her
out under a fiag-of-truce. she had sent
him to the right-about, laughingly de-
clining to depart before royalty. But
number followed number, and the
knight in purple and gold had not
paused again before her. Now the
scarlet cloak no longer Haunted
among the dancers, and the white
satin gown and sparkling coronal had
disappeared. The end of the next
"round-dance" found her subsiding
into the fiower-banked slcove sudden
ly distract amid her escorts sallies. 1t
was at this moment that she saw, en-
tering the corridor from the garden,
the missing couple.
1t was not the faint flush on Shir-
ley's cheek-that was not deep-nor
was it his nearness to her, though they
stood closely, as lovers might. But
there was in both their faces a some
thing that resurgent conventionality
had not had time to cover a trem-
bling reflection of that light that
never was, on sea or land''-which was
like a death-stab to what lay far deep
er than Katharine's heart, her pride.
She drew swiftly back, dismayed at
the sudden verifcation. and for an in
slant her whole body chilled
A craving for a glass of water has
served it's purpose a thousand times;
as her cavalier solicitously departed to

bitter humiliation. Che had shot her

crackle of a match, and as she peered
out, its red flare lighted the massive

would pass; but to her annoyance,
when she looked again, they had seat
