he had said enough. With a cheerful
word he went away.
But the next day Sir Donald renew
ed his wooing in such a fashion that
Ruth was sorely put to 1t to keep him
from demanding such caresses as her
engagement made him rightfully ask
for.
The hardest part was that she per-
ceived that John Dorr now knew that
she was to marry Sir Donald.
He did not know, nor ever would
what that marriage was the price of.
Everett, Of course, had quietly intro
duced Sir Donald's assertion Of his
new relation to Ruth into his narrative
of what had occurred In the ONCE.
John had taken the blow steadily,
but he was not M to walk In the

fore Circuit Judge Phelps who has
not heretofore dealt with this class Of

The change in the procedure Il said

It is known that the superintend-
ents OF the reservations in Oregon are
advocating a change in the present
state law to make it more severe. A
penitentary sentence is advocated as
a maximum penalty as there is in
Washington now. A measure to this
effect will probably be introduced at
the session OF the legislature.
