from the desk, to come face to face
with a man whom he had used to like
and who, he had reason to believe, had
not been without interest in him.
why, hello, Baker!" Mark held
out friendly hand, with a genial
smile that was part of his new resolve.
Baker took the hand, but released 1t
quickly. "Ah! How are you, Truitt?"
Bully Just back from a long stay
in the woods. Dine here with me to-
night, won't your"
Thanks, no. I'm probably not din
ing here. Excuse me. Some men I
must see
Baker broke hastily away, passed a
few words with a nearby group and
went out The ruse was obvious.
Mark, feeling as though he had re-
ceived blow in the face. stared after
the retreating figure. The genial smile
faded. Then he went to the rooms
he had engaged. Passing the group
that had helped out Bakers ruse. he
was conscious of their furtive curious
chances.
Arrived in his rooms, his first act
was to have back newspaper files sent
up to him. For two hours he read
how, while he was winning back health
in the wilderness and planning life
of amity with his fellows, his name
had been banded about on the tongues
of SANDER and gossip. AS he read In
the light of what had just happened
the amazing accumulation OF suggested
filth, only here and there brushing the
outer edges Of fact, utter bewi1der-
ment filled him. Shirley's brief COM

sudden feeling of dismay. why

He was helpless.
Then am not free! She has put
a mark on me that lifetime can't rub

mistakes?
One evening. when his residence at
the club had continued about three
weeks. the affair came to a climax,
He was entering the grill for dinner.
At the sound of his name from a
nearby group of diners, he halted in
voluntarily.
That's all well enough" one of the
diners was saying. "A clubs a club
and, OF course. We have to allow a
certain latitude. Still, when 1t be-
comes the refuge for a man SO no
torious we couldn't have him in our
homes The speaker was checked
by warning kick.
Mark, sweeping the group with eyes
from which the mask had momentariIy
fallen, met Bakers embarrassed gaze.
With a contemptuous smile, he passed
on to his own table and ordered a
dinner which he made such show of
eating as inward rage and pain al

His coffee and cigar had just been
brought when Baker crossed the room
and stood by his table

Somehow the confession, an uncon-

LAND COMMISSIONS
 S20,OO0 WORTH OF
 WORK" Is WASTED
More Than One-Third of Lands Selected for the State Is Returned to the Public Domain as Undesirable

PHOENIX, March 12.-Over one. third of the land selected for the state by the land commission, went back into the hands of the United States yesterda ywhen an order from the department was noted at the To. cal land office, putting 714.24O acres back into the public domain This land is not yet open to settlement and entry
 Since it's organization the land com mission has selected in the neighbor, hood of two million acres of land. and it is estimated that the cost to the state of this work is close to S6O, ,OO0, Yesterdays order means that about $2O.OOO worth of this work has gone for nothing.
 Failure to get publication of the le, gal notices covering the 714.24O acres is thought to be the reason for the se. lection being turned back In his let ter to the land office, the bureau chief says that Governor Hunts intention was evidently to permit the general land office to view his failure to re. new his request for the withdrawal or the said lands as equivalent to re- quest for the elimination of the with drawal of said lands. An order for the survey of the lands in question has been issued to Surveyor General In- gals. but he has not yet put his men 10 work on the job He is expecting an order resembling the previous or der for the survey
 Giving us an excuse the statement that sixty-Ave hundred acres of Gila river bottom land in Yuma county is not good soil, the land commission last week relinquished part of the selec. ] ton already made over to the state and it is understood that other relin. quishments will follow on similar or on the same grounds

 mitted to go back into the public do main.

KANSAS LIQUOR CASE DECISION FAILS TO
 ENLIGHTEN ARIZONA
SUIT WAS BASED ON FACTS WHICH AROSE BEFORE PAS SAGE OF WE5B-K ENYoN LAW WHICH COURT IGNORES

WASHINGTON, Mar. l2-The Kir- meyer liquor case, one of first import ance in the prohibition laws of Kan sas, has been decided in the supreme court of the United States against the state
 It was alleged that after receivers had been appointed to oust various wholesale liquor dealers from doing business in Leavenworth Kan. M. Kirmeyer went across the river into Missouri establishing warehouse and continued to deliver beer in Kas- sas. The Kansas supreme court held that his removal was mere device to evade the Kansas liquor law, and that the etfade was not interstate com merce "in good faith"
 The supreme court held that Kir- meyer was entitled, under previous decisions of the court, to protection for his trade as interstate commerce and dismissed an injunction issued by the Kansas supreme court
 Justice McReyuolds stated in the opinion that the Kirmeyer case arose before the passage of the Webb-Ken- yon law prohibiting shipment from wet to dry territory, and that neither it's construction nor application was involved or would be passed on. Ad- yocates of the Webb-Kenyon law con tend that measure would apply to such cases now.
 Justice McReynolds said decisions of the supreme court precluded fur ther discussion of the following facts
 Beer is a recognized article of con merce. The right to send it from one state to another. and the act Of doing go, are interstate commerce, the regulation whereof has been commit ed to congress. and a state law whicf defies such right or substantially in terriers with or hampers the same if in conflict with the constitution o the United States. Transportation is not complete until delivery to tho consignee or the expiration of req sonable time therefor Prior therett the provisions of the Wilson act O 1890 have no application"
 The justice did not undertake t say whether the Webb-Kenyon law was effective to change those propC sitions
