and Anne settled back in her chair to
see just how much effect her news
would produce.
You are. reaIly?" said Helen, look
ing at Anne's radiant face a little visit
fully.
well. my dear, you look IT."
What do you mean. Helen?"
why, you look so absolutely costa
tic. Is that the way you really feel?"
Yes. m afraid I do. Isn't that the
way one generally feels?'
That's the way one ought to feel
anyway, dear. Now do tell me all
about it."
Helen looked across at Anne as she
spoke. Anne Redding was in her opin-
ion the very incarnation of twentieth
century romance. Anne was in reality
an independent woman. She earned her
own living. and vet there was an air
of utter unsophistication about her
that was charming.
Her engagement to Jack Parmelee
was what Helen had designated as an
ideal marriage. Here were none of the
more sordid elements that so often
entered into the marriage relationship.
Here was the perfect partnership
There was something reticent about
Anne that prevented even the most
curious from questioning her and al
though Jack freely admitted his feel
ing, there was an unplumbed depth
about him that one could not hope to
fathom.
Welt" Anne proceeded with a little
flushed air OF Importance that was
fascinating, you see 1 am really in love
with Jack, and he wants me to marry
soon. I have found a million reasons
why I couldn't possibly think of it in
the past, but now that 1 have re-

ried very quietly and go on with our

You have decided to so on with
your work?"
"Of course. Helen, never thought of
anything else. Why, 1 shouldn't be
happy a day otherwise.
Helen smiled. Anne. you don't
know how glad I am for you. And
what does Frances say? Is she sorry
TO lose you?"
"Yes, but I don't think that Frances
feels very deeply for anyone. She
will miss me a little and then she will
probably be glad that I am gone.

ACCUSER SHOULD BE SURE.

One of the nice points of conduct relates to the degree of certainty that justifes one man in mak- ing serious accusation against another. The common belief based on an appreciation of the commercial value of good name is that the accuser should be sure of his ground before giving voice to his charges. That he should be silent under all degrees of suspicion, and speak only when the evidence at hand amounts to a certainty.
 This would be we'll and good if certainty were a stable quality. If the certainty of one man was as certain as the certainty of another and there were no such thing as a difference of Opin- ion deducible from admitted facts. But it so happens that conditions which make for absolute certainty in the mind of one man are likely to arouse notions in the minds of others ranging all the way from strong suspicion to an absolutely negative conclusion. Therefore while it can be accepted as true that no man should accuse an- other on mere suspicion, accusative conduct is but little influenced thereby, because one mans suspicion is anothers proof. Outside of the do- main of mathematics, proof is relative and amounts merely ot a greater or less preponder- ance of probabilities. And probabilities having varying values with varying individuals the same facts which may induce one jury to convict may dispose another to acquit; and there you are. This is tickle world alright The pity of it all is that some of us find that out only late in life

METHOD OF PATCHING HOLES
Gravel Is Mixed With Heavy Road Oil,
Which Acts as Binder-Use a
Concrete Mixer.

The modern scheme OF protecting
road surfaces with sprayed oil has de-
veloped a new method of patching
holes. Gravel is mixed with a heavy
road oil, which acts as a binder This
is prepared in advance and carted to
the place where the patching is TO be
done. Less gravel is needed than when
it is used dry, because the hole need
be filed only level and tamped, while
with the ordinary method the patching
gravel must be heaped above the nor
NAL surface OF the road. Where patch
ing on a large scale is to be done, a
concrete mixed can be used to prepare
the mixture. - Popular Mechanics

SHIP BURNS AT SEA
The Pacific Coast Steamer Con-
gress Destroyed by Flames
Off Coos Bay, Ore.
PASSENGERS AND CREW SAFE
Everybody on Board Removed Just as
Flames Completely EnVeioped Yes
sel-Panic Narrowly AVerted.

Marshfield, Ore, Sept. 15.-Fire to-
night completely destroyed the Pa
cific Coast Company's liner Congress
two miles off Coos Bay Bar. Several
vessels which rushed to her assist
ance in response to distress calls
helped remove her 253 passengers
and crew OF ITO.
When the dredge Niche and the
gas schooner TilIamook reached the
Congress they found the liner almost
completely shrouded in smoke and
the passengers fighting franticaIly to
enter the lifeboats. Despite the
stress of the situation, however, Capt.
n. E. Cousins and his crew managed
to maintain control and the work Of
transferring the people aboard the
rescue vessels was carried out in an
orderly manner.
Before the last boatload, in which
was Captain Cousins, left the Con-
gress the smoke and heat were al
most unbearable. Flames were shoot
ing out OF the ventilators and up the
passageways.
The dredge Niche locked at North
Bend, near here, tonight, with all the
passengers and the crew of the steam
er Congress safe on board. Not life
was lost, nor single person injured.
Shortly after the last Iifeboat got
away, half the vessel was on fire.
Soon afterward the flames enveIoped
her from stern to stern, lighting the
sky to a crimson hue. With the wind
and tide the steamer then began drift
ing in toward the spit on Coos Bay.
The crew of the life saving station
in a power boat reached the Congress
shortly after the Niche and the Tilla-
nook arrived, and helped remove the
passengers and crew to the two latter
vessels.
According to word reaching here,
the fire was discovered at about
p. m. near the second hold in the
storage cabin.
The Congress came to a stop off
the Coos Bay bar at 4:3O p. N. and
was anchored between two buoyS
with her stern pointed toward the
beach. The dredge Niche was soon
at the scene. Boats were lowered at
once and people from the shore saw
the people taken across the interview
ing space to the dredge.
