main in the bay If the strike con-
tinued.
The strikers were augmented by
200 employees otdbe Bergenport Chem

increased wages.

London, July 21.-From the shores
of the Gulf of Riga in the north to
that part of southern Poland back
into which they drove the Russians
from Galicia the AustrO-German arm
les are still surging forward and If
Warsaw can be denied them it will be
almost a miracle.
This seems to be the consensus of
opinion even among those in England
who heretofore have been hopeful that
the Russians would turn and deliver
a counter blow, and news of the evac-
uation of the Polish capital, followed
by the triumphal entry of the Ger
mans amid such scenes as were en-
acted at Przemysl and Lemberg would
come as no surprise.
The German official statement, be-
ginning it's recital at the northern tip
of the eastern battle line, records the
progress of the German troops to
within about fifty miles of Riga; then
following the great battle arc south
ward, chronicles further successes in
the sector northeast of Warsaw, cul-
minating in the capture of Ostrolenka
one of the fortresses designed to
shield the capital.
The actual peril to Warsaw is ac-
centuated by the Russian official com
munication, which says that German
columns are within artillery range of
the fortress of Nowo Gorgievsk, the
key to the capital from the north
west and only about twenty miles
from it.
Immediately southwest of the city
and less than twenty miles from it,
Blonie has fallen; and, further south,
Grojeo, while German cavalry are
astride the important railway, from
Radon to Ivangorod.

later he was opening the Widow hol-

The house was dark and apparently

Griswold laughed, and there was a
sudden swapping of invisible bonds.
He dismissed instantly the thought
that Charlotte Farnham had taken him

was nothing to fear.

CHAPTER XXX.
The Desert and the sown.


Through streets In which the village
quiet of the summer night was undis-
turbed save by the scattering tinkle of
the lawn sprinklers in the front yards,
and the low voices of the outdoor
people taking the air and the moon
light on the porches, Griswold Jared

veins and the fine wine of life mount.
ing headily to his brain.
After all the dubious stumblings he
had come to the end of the road to
find awaiting him the great accusa-
ton and the great reward. By the un-
answerable logic Of res4.ts, in it's ef-
feet upon others and upon himself, his
deed had proved itself crime. Right
or wrong in the highest ethical fields,
the accepted social order had proved
itself strong enough to make it's own
laws and to prescribe the far-reaching
penalties for their infraction. Under
these laws he stood convicted. Never
again, save through the gate of atone
ment, could he be reinstated as a
soldier in the ranks of the convention
ally righteous. True, the devotion of
a loving woman, aided by a train of
circumstances strikingly fortuitous
and little short of miraculous, had
averted the final price-paying in penal
retribution. But the fact remained
He was felon.
Into this gaping wound which might
otherwise have slain him had been
poured the wine and oil Of a great
love: a love so clean and pure In
its own well-springs that 1t could
perceive no wrong in its object;
could measure no act OF loyal devo-
ton by any standard save that of its
own greatness. This love asked
nothing but what he chose to give 1t
would accept him either as he was. or
as he ought to be. The place he should
elect to occupy would be its place; his
standards its standards.
Just here the reasoning angel opened
a door and thrust him out upon the
edge Of a precipice and left him to look
Down into the abyss of the betrayers-

therefore could never, under any cir
cumstances. be a place where tourists
would be content to stay, for there is
ever the mountain top with the lake
beyond beckoning the traveller to the
goal OF his pilgrimage.
The establishment OF the village on
the rim Of the crater overlooking the
lake would be ideal. but in certain sea
sons the SHOWS are so late in melting
that tourists might never reach the viii
lage in the season Of their travel. The
solution. therefore, appears to be a
double village or two stations. one at
the lower level, which opens several
weeks before the upper levels, and one
at the rim of the crater BY this
means tourists may arrive at the lower
station, where accommodations may
be found, and proceed to the rim of
the crater by foot when the road is
not passable for vehicular traffic. At
the rim of the crater should be estab-
lished secondary village in which
sleeping and eating accommodations
are provided, together with stores and
studios which might supply the wants
of the tourists.

consuming desire will De to hook the
glorious trout which may be seen
swimming in the depths beneath his

him with further longing to encircle
the lake on land around the rim, so
that he may drink in the sparkling
colors and deeper shadows from all
angles. The problem, therefore, which
confronts the secretary of the interior
is the development of roads and trails
about the lake so that the tourist may
receive full satisfaction, and to do this,
plans have been drawn and work be-
gun on the roads and trails and vii

Congress has appropriated money.

construction and material portion OF
it has been completed. The three en-
trance roads. one from Medford on the
west, one from Klamath Falls on the
south. and one along Sand creek on
the east, have been completed and are
now open to travel. The trail from
the rim of the crater to the lake sur.
face indicating the location of the pro-
posed rim village has been construct
ed and will this year be widened and
improved. A lodge or hotel has been
constructed on the rim of the crater

completed.

It's surface is at an elevation OF GIT

of 1000 feet below the crest of the

To make this unique gem Of ex-

The park is traversed by roads from
the west and from the south and the
approaches are along easy gradients
and through wonderful forests and
alongside beautiful canyons, but upon
a closer approach to the ascent to the
rim of the crater, the difficulty of
reaching the lake becomes more and
more serious, and the problems in
