CHAPTER xxx.
Apples Of lstakhar.

The swinging arc light suspended
above the street crossing sputtered
and died down to a dull red dot of in
candescence as Griswold returned
Margery's note to his pocket and
walked on.
There are crises in which the chief
contention looms so large as to leave
no room for the ordinary mental proc
esses. GrisWold saw no significance
in the broken line of Margery's mes
sage. The one tremendous revelation
the knowledge that the dross-creat-
ing curse had finally fallen upon the
woman whose convictions should have
saved her-was blotting out all the
subtler perceptive faculties; and for
the time the struggle with the sub
merging wave of disappointment and
disbursement was bitter.
He was two squares beyond the
crossing of the broken-circuited arc
light, and was still following the curve
Of the lakeside boulevard, when he
came to the surface of the submerg-
ing wave long enough to realize that
he had entered Jasper Grierson's por-
ton of the waterfront drive The great
house, dark as to it's westward gables
save for the lighted upper windows
marking the sick room and it's ante
chamber, doomed in massive solidity
among it's sheltering oaks; and the
moon, which had now topped the hills
and the crimsoning smoke haze, was
bathing land and lakescape in a flood
OF silver light, whitening the pale yell
low sands of the beach and etching
fantastic leaf-traceries on the gravel
of the boulevard driveway.
There Was no inclosing fence on the
Mereslde border Of the boulevard, and
under the nearest Of the lawn oaks
there were rustic park seats, Jasper
Grierson's single concession to the
public when he had fought for and
secured his property right-of-way
through to the lakes margin. Griswold
turned aside and sat down on one of
the benches. The disappointment was
growing less keen. He was beginning
to understand that he had made no
allowance for the eternal feminine in
the localized Fidelia-for the feminine
and the straitly human. But the dis
heartenment remained. Should he
stay and fight it out? Or should he
take pity upon the poor prisoner of
the conventions and seek to postpone
the day of reckoning by flight?
He had not fitted the answer to
either of these sharp pointed queries
when a pair of light-fingered hands
came from behind to clap themselves
upon his eyes, and a well-known voice
said, Guess"
"Margery!" he said, and she laughed
with the joyous unconstraint of q
happy child and came around to sit
| by him.
Il was doing time out on the veran.
| da, and l saw you down here in the
moonlight, looking as if you had lost
something" she explained, adding:
"Have you?"
Il don't know; can you lose that
which you've never had?" he returned
musingly. And then: Yes; perhaps
did lose something. Don't ask me
what it is. hardly know, myself"

came, I was wondering if the game
were at all worth the candle"
Her mood changed in the twinkling
of an eye. "The battle is over, and
Won," she said, speaking softly.
Didn't you know that?" And then:
"Oh, boy, boy! but it has been a des-
perate fight! Time and again I have
thought you were gone, in spite of
all could dot"
'You thought was gone? Then
you know?"
"Of course l know; l have known
ever since the first night; the night
when I found the money in your suit
case. What silly, silly thing it was
for you to do-to leave the Bayou State
Security slips on the packages:"
"But you said"
mo, didn't say; l merely let you
believe that I didn't see them. After
that, I knew it would be only a ques-
ton of time until they would trace
you here, and l hurried; oh, | hurried!
I made up my mind that before the
struggle came, all Wahaska should
know you, not as bank robber, but as
you are, and / made it come out just
that way. Then Mr.. Brohin turned up,
and the fight was on. He Swallowed
you, and l Swallowed him-or had
Johnnie Fergus do it for me. l knew
he'd try Miss Farnham first, and there
was only one hope there-that she
might fall in love with you and so re-
fuse to give you away. She did, didn't
she?"
Most emphatically, she did not" he
denied. you have greatly misjudged
Miss Farnham. The reason-the only
reasonably she did not tell Brofin
what he wanted to know was purely
conventional one. She did not want to
be the most-talked-of woman in Wa
haska."
His companions laugh was not
pleasant.
I'D rather be a spiteful little cat,
which is what she once called me, than
to be moth-eaten on the inside like
that!" she commented. Then she went
on: with Miss Farnham out of tt
and l knew she must be out of it,
since Broffin didn't strike-there was
still Mr.. Galbraith. You didn't know
why l was so anxious to have you get
acquainted with him, but you know
now. And it worked. When Broffin
asked him to identify you, he couldn't
Or wouldn't. Then came that un-
lucky drowning accident"
Griswold nodded slowly. Eyes, Mr..
Galbraith knows me now"
HE doesn't!" she exulted. "He is
a dear old saint, and he will never
know you again as the man who held
him up. Listen: He sent for Broffin
this afternoon, and gave him a new
commission-something about bonds
IN California. And he told him he
must go on the first train!"
Once more the castaway was run
ming the gamut of the fiercely varying
emotions.
Let me understand" he said. You
knew l had taken the money, and yet
you did all these things to pull me out
and make the holdup success. Where
was your moral sense, all this time,
little girl?"
She made charming little mouth
at him.

Segun las leyes yigentes que ri
gen y gobiernan en- asuntos de

su deber cuidar de que los precep-
tos de la ley sean estrictamente
obedecidos y ejecutados a fin de
asegurar el progreso y adelanto
que tan necesario son para bien de
la comunidad entera y para el TO-
mento de la instruction p1blica.
Para conseguir este de una name
ra plena Sc requiere la cooperation
Y ayuda de todo el pueblo sin dis
tinciones de clase y categoria por-
que es cosa averiguada que donde
todos los ciudadanos son de una
mislna opinion y estan de acuerdo
sobre cualquier materia de interes
general es infalible que resulten
mayor eficiencia y mejores result
tados. Pero donde hay falta de ci-
vismo y de espiritu p1blico es re-
gular que reinen la indiferencia y
hasta la hostilidad hacia toda me-
dida que tenga por objeto el bien
comun.
Aceptando tales conclusiones CO
mo correctas e incontrovertibles,
pasanos a decir que no hay ning1n
asunto que importe tanto al alpueblo
de Nuevo Mexico como el de la
instruction de la juventud. La ig
norancia es herrnana genela de la
degradation social y politica, al pa
so que la ilustraci0n da por frutos
la industria, el patriotismo y el au-
mento de bienestar y felicidad para
cada comunidad y para todos los
ciudadanos. El hombre ignorante
es una entidad nula en- el orden
social, y nunca puede ser de utili-

papel de pe0n esclavo de los holn-

pensables para el bien comun de
todos, y que esos gastos no deben
ser desperdiciados sino utilizados
todo cuanto sea possible para que

de estorbar tai desperdicio la legis-
latura ha decretado leyes rigidas y
severas que hacen obligatoria, la

la culpa de su delincuencia, sino
para los padres de familia que Sc
muestran rebeldes a la ley, indife-
rentes a su propia conveniencia, y
hostlles al bienestar de sus hijos.
Por increible que parezca es po-
sitivo que hay muchos padres tan
cerrados de mollera, tan faltos de
