1t was the same old frankness and
friendliness of voice, and the same
old note like the music of a reed in

and treasured that he laughed through
the telephone.

On the train Samson was surprised
to discover that, after all, he had Mr..
William Farbish for a travelling com
panion That gentleman explained
that he had found an opportunity to
play truant from business for a day
or two, and wished to see Samson
comfortably ensconced and introduced.
The first day Farbish and Samson
had the place to themselves, but the
next morning would bring others.
The next day, while the mountain
eer MAS out on the fats, the party Of
men at the club had been swelled to
a total of six, for in pursuance of
the carefully arranged plans of Mr..
Farbish, Mr.. Bradburn had succeeded
in inducing Wilfred Horton to run
down for a day or two of the sport
he loved When Horton arrived that
afternoon. he found his usually even
temper RULED by bits of maliciously
preached gossip, until his resentment
against Samson South had been
famed into danger heat. He did not
know that South also wa at the club,
and he did not that afternoon go out
to the blinds, but SO far departed
from his usual custom as to permit
fimse7 10 sit for several hours in the
club grill.
And yet, as is often the case in care
fully designed affairs, the one element
that made most powerfully for the
success of Farbish's scheme was pure
accident. The carefully arranged meet
ing between the two men, the adroitly
melted passions of each. would still
have brought no clash, had not Will
fred Horton been affected by the flush
ing effect Of alcohol. Since his college
days, he had been invariably abstemi-
Gus. Tonight marked an exception.
He was rather surprised at the cor
diality Of the welcome accorded him.
,or, as chance would have it except
for Samson South, whom he had not
yet seen, all the other sportsmen
were men closely allied to the politi-
cal and financial elements upon which
he had been making war Still, since
they seemed willing to forget for the
time that there had been breach,
he was equally so. Just now, he was
feeling such bitterness for the Ken
tuckian that the foes of a less per-
sonal sort seemed unimportant.

In Need
Of Help
At0nCe


A little frail woman of 40
years came into The Times Of
flee yesterday afternoon.
She had gone to Homer T.
Bone, Times attorney in the
mothers pension cases. and he
brought her to us for immediate
aid.
Until June II she was on the
county mothers pension roll.
She was entitled to this aid be-
cause her husband left to go to
work in Eastern Washington
seven years ago, and has never
returned. But now that aid is
cut off. 1t amounted to $25 a
month.
She has three children, two
girls and a boy. The oldest is
girl, Is. The mother has not
much left in life but an ambi-
ton to give them a schooling
a chance.
She has been doing little
tailor-work, but it is off-season
now. The end of her resources
has come. She is up against It,.
To us, she offered to take in
washing to help her children.
That is absurd. She is too frail.
She is not large. and worry and
hard work have taken years and
years of vitality from her.
When she was cut off the pen
sion roll, she was given slight
direct charity for a month. Then
that was cut off, without much
cause being assigned, except that
such money had to be spent care
fully.
The county that has so much
money that 1t spends many thous-
ands for one sort of paving that
two of it's commissioners think
better than all other kinds cam
not afford to aid this widow keep
her fatherless family together.
The whole courthouse atti-
tude, this woman found, was
that this mothers pension bust
ness was all a lot of socialistic
twaddle anyhow that ought to be
cut out.
What will Times readers do?

DOWN
MILLS

mir. Mills, what Is your
police department doing
trying to protect joy-riders?
A few days ago the officers
were anxious to get hold Of
persons who were driving
cars while intoxicated. What
do you mean by covering up
this Fairchild AFFAIR.""
Mayor Fawcett thus caused
considerable excitement in today's
council session by attacking the
police department for attempting
yesterday to keep quiet all details
of the 10y party" that resulted
in arrests of j. w. Fairehild, son
of ex-senator wilbur Fairchild.
and five companions, two men and
three women.
But Why Light Charge.
'Why, mayor, the police can't
force anyone to give their right
names when they are arrested"
protested Mills.
Maybe not. but when they
know the identity of the prison
ers, as they did in this case, 1t is
not their duty to protect the
party from publicity" responded
Fawcett.
Anyway, why is 1t that the
members of the party are charg-
ed only with being drunk and dis
orderly, and not with driving an
automobile while intoxicated"
Police Knew Names.
But, Mr.. Mayor, the car was
standing still when the officer
caught them" replied the COM
mission with mild indignation.
1t developed today, as Mills
was informed, that the police
knew yesterday morning the full
identity of the members of the
party, but that officers tried to
suppress the case.
Fairchild, who Is married to
the daughter of Detective Frank
Geary, was released from jail last
night on $25 cash BAIL as were
two Of the party, who gave names
of "R. e. Wood" and Eva Will
