"Have You Found Out Who She Is?"

No, he did not know what he should
see, for when he finally stepped in
it was not an open view of the hol-
low which met his eyes, but the purple
clad figure of Mrs. Averill with little
Peggy at her side. He had not ex-
pected to see the child, and, standing
as they were with their backs to him,
they presented picture which, for
some reason to be found in the mystic
rious recesses of his disordered mind,
was exceedingly repellent to him.
The noise he made should have
caused Deborah's tall and graceful
figure to turn. But the spell Of her
own thoughts was too great; and he
would have found himself compelled
to utter the first word, If the child,
who had heard him plainly enough,
had not dragged at the woman's hand
and so woke her from her dream.

Deborah sighed as she laid this
clipping aside and took up another
headed by a picture Of her husband
1t was not an unhandsome face. In.
deed, 1t was his good looks which had
prevailed over her judgment in the
early days Of their courtship. Reu-
ther had inherited her harmony of
feature from him-the chiseled nose,
the well-modeled chin and all the other
physical graces which had made him
a fine figure behind his bar. He had
had no business worries; yet his tenn
per was always, uncertain. She had
not often suffered from 1t herself, for
her ascendancy over men extended
even to him. But Reuther had shrunk
before 1t more than once.
Was not the man who could bring
his hand down upon so frail and ex-
quisite a creature as Reuther was in
those days capable Of any act of vio-
lence? Yes; but In this case he had
been guiltless. She could not but con-
cede this even while yielding to ex-
treme revulsion as she laid his pic
ture aside.
The next slip she took up contained
a eulogy of the victim.
"The sudden death of Algernon Eth
eridge has been In more than one
sense great shock to the community.
Though a man Of passive, rather than
active qualities, his scholarly figure,
long, lean and bowed, has been seen
too often in our streets not to be

target of Fate is one of the mysteries
of life. His watch, which, aside from
his books. was his most valuable pos
session, was the gift of Judge Ostran-

any way with the tragic circumstances
OF his death is source of the deepest
regret to the unhappy donor"

Investigating Commit
tee Changes Plans

Carrying out a decision reach
eo at the conclusion of its exam
nation into the Bank of Nampa
affair, the special investigating
committee Of the house of rep
resentatives has changed its
method of operation. 1t will
now try to work somewhat in
conjunction with the special au-
ditor, w. H. Gleason, who is con-
Quoting an investigation into the
1877 funds of the state treasury.
Mr.. Gleason's report on the cap
itol building fund, transmitted by
the governor to the house of rep
resentatives, was referred to the
investigating committee, and this
will be the basis for the commit
tees work now.
Although in the midst of its ex-
animation into Carey act matters
the committee decided to suspend
this examination and to take up
the capitol building report. Mr..
Gleason was ready to begin the
audit of Carey act funds, and re-
quested the committee to give
him access to the vouchers of that
department. His request was
granted and the committee trans
ferred its attention to capitol
building expenditures. Chair
man MCGOWAN says the new path
taken will be more practical, as
the Gleason reports will give the
committee a starting point and q
direction for its research which
will save valuable time.
