LEGAL paN of Rest.

The New York court of appeals has
given a decision sustaining the "one-
day-rest-in-seven" law that meets the
strong approval OF progressively
minded citizens. The following SEN
fences are worth quoting: 1--WE have
no power of decision of the question
whether It is the wisest and best way
TO Offset these conditions and to give
employees the protection which they
need, even If we had any doubt on
that subject. Our only inquiry must
be whether the provision on its face
seems reasonable, fair and appropri-
ate. and whether 1t can fairly be be-
lieved that its natural consequences
will be in the direction of the better
ment Of public health and welfare,
and therefore that 1t is one which the
state for its protection and advantage
may enact and enforce. "-Chicago Eve
ping Post.

the Raccoon river runs through my
land to yours"
Worthing controlled himself admir-
ably.
rs our old friendship nothing to you,
Blass?" he asked quietly. Would il
not be well for each of US to remem-
Der 1t before it is too later"
Cardross laughed.
why talk rubbish" he demanded
CURLY. If you bid fair to be the loser
in the little war you inaugurated. why
squeal about 1t, Worthing?"
For moment Worthing said nothing.
There was no plea in his voice when
he finally spoke
And that is your answer, then! 1
had hardly expected it to be otherwise,
though l had hoped" His head lifted
suddenly Every dollar you spend,
Blass, that threatens to deprive me of
any gallon of water l need, you will
spend in vain. I warn you OF that in
good part. You had better remember
An instant he hesitated.
That's all, 1 guess" he then said.
"Other things will take care of them
selves" and walked rapidly toward his
horse.
He did not ride homeward at once,
but in the contrary direction: and so
1t was that some little time later, re-
turning toward the Loop, he struck the
more direct trail that led through the
dividing woods OF the two ranches and
so on to his own corrals and barns.
And so 1t was, too, that in the heart
or those woods where they dipped down
into the tangled raVine that formed
the actual boundary line between the
Loop and the Raccoon river ranges.
Worthing halted at the sound of q
woman's voice raised in tense and pas
sionate pleading.
Let me speak Of 1t, Blass!" cried
Jess Kilrain entreatingly. Let me
tell my father Why does you try to
hide your love for me, an make me
guard 1t like it was a sameful thing
l m feared 1t will come to make me
hate 1t, Blass. I'm feared Of that"
Worthirg caught the sound Of Card
ross soft laugh
Don't you see, Jess" he murmured,
and In the silence the words came
clearly, that now 1t Is all our very
own-just you and me, with the whole
world shut out? Why do you want to
let every one into our secret?"
II hate that secret" Jess cried, her
low voice vehement. IT'S made me
do what I never done in all my life
afore-lie. I've lied about what 1
ought to be proud to have the whole
world know. Why do you make me
do that, Blass? Tell me why!"
Worthing rode on. 1t was not for
him to hear more, but in that instant
the last remnant Of his old time friend
ship for Blass Cardross died in his
heart.

Dad Latter Speed laws.

THE legal speed limits in American
:ities," says Frederick Upham Adams, the
automobile expert, in the American Mag
azine, range from IL to 20 miles an hour
Such limits never have been enforced,
never should be enforced. and never VIII
be enforced, for reasons which win be
considered in detail In the next article
The real traffic regulations Of our larger
.it.es, as daily enforced by the police.
make It obligatory with the driver Of an
automobile to maintain speeds OF from
DO to 20 miles an hour on streets with
heavy traffic when the driver gets the
signal that there Is a clear space ahead.
The law may set the minimum at Is, but
you must run at 20 when you have q
chance. Unless such a high speed be gen.
orally maintained by drivers whenever
possible on main city thoroughfares, effec-
tive tra1nc regulation will be impossible
and disastrous congestion chronic and In
evitable.
1--WE have reached a period in the de-
velopment Of the automobile in the United
States when the traffic authorities are
more concerned over a minimum speed
which must be maintained whenever pos
Eible than over maximum speeds"

"History" Back on tho Job.

In his speech before the reichstag
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg said
that history would not admit after the
earthquakes that had occurred things
could ever be the same in Belgium as
they were before. He declared that there
must be a new Belgium"
At the beginning of the war we heard
a great deal about history" from the
German advocates; how 1t had impelled
the Germans to do as they were doing:
how it was justifying them in their every
procedure; how, in brief, 1t was the firm
friend and ally of "kultur' at every turn.
During the last year, however, its part
has been comparatively modest
Now, however, we see history" back on
the job again as a supporter OF Teutonic
intentions Much as history would prob
ably like to, 1t simply cannot consent that
Germany turn Belgium wholly back to
the Belgians. Though IL grieVes beyond
expression, ii Is in honor bound to lay on
Germany the task Of providing for an en-
tirely new" Belgium.
The latest phase of the argument of
historic determinism will leave Americans
quite cold. Americans realize that things
can never be quite the same-that the
wrongs done to Belgium cannot be entire
ly redressed. But they do not admit that
this Justifes an effort to make the wrong
graver still by the creation Of a new
Belgium which Belgians do not desire.

Mr.. Ford Advertises.

From the MILWAUKEE, journal.
or the sincerity OF Henry Ford in OPP
posing preparedness no one can have the
slightest doubt He proves his sincerity
not by talk alone, but by spending his
paign. Nor can anyone doubt Mr.. Ford's
patriotism; we have never even heard It
suggested that he had any other motive
than to serve his country and mankind.
But the reader of Mr.. Ford's long and
carefully written advertisement in oppo-
sition to preparedness will ask other ques-
lions. Everyone will grant, we suppose,
that every dollar spent for military prep
had learned not to go to battle, but the
world does GO to battle and the man or
the nation unarrned invites the armed man
to take away his rights, TO come and
break up his house and seize his property
and become his master. America, desiring
peace with all her heart and soul, docks
on a world in arms and sees her own
nakedness
What does Mr. Ford offer? His opinion
that We need never fear invasion. Will
that opinion go down to our seacoast and
repel an invader? Will Mr.. Ford guaran-
tee we shall not regret our weakness?
Will his opinion, mounting guard over the
nation answer all threats to violate our
rights and seize our territory?
Mr.. Ford urges that men who make
munitions Of war profit from preparedness
We know It. We suppose that they are
in business as Mr.; Ford Is to make a
profit. Should we therefor go undefended?
Is the extravaganza Of paying dear to be
mention in the same breath with the cost
of ransoming our cities and sending our
young men to battle?
And Mr.. Ford is not a peace-at-any- price
man. If he were, his argument would
be more logical, but he tells US:
Let the president and others who are
preaching this doctrine of fear point out
the enemy, let them prove the enemy
comes upon us, and every American Is
willing to lay down his fortune and his
life at the feet of the president, as Ameri-
cans have done before, "
LAS Americans have done beforer Aye.
in that lies the answer to all Mr.. Ford 8
argument Unarmed, unframed, with no
guns and no ships, pouring out money at
last like water, pouring out the precious
blood OF young men driven as lambs to
the slaughter.
This is why the country wants prepared
ness, that lives and fortunes need not be
laid down a bloody sacrifice to neglect
And the enemy? Against what partIcu-
lar fire does Mr.. Ford protect his factories
and pay taxes that his city may buy en-
gines? Against what burglar does he lock
his safe? The world goes armed and
might preys on weakness. Mr.. Ford asks
us not to prepare, but he offers no guar
antee that we shall not repent In bitter
ness and anguish.

CHATTER VI.
MISGTVINGS.

Jess Kilrain stood behind her fathers
chair, drawn up before the open door
of the dining room as he sat smoking
his after dinner pipe before he should
ride out on the business of the after
noon. From the kitchen beyond came
the clatter of dishes where Agnes Kill
rain was washing up. In some way she
managed to make that clatter express
chorus OF rebuke
Kilrain turned, smiling.
Hadn't you ought to be helpin'
your aunt, JESSE" he asked.
The girl came forward, seating her
self on the broad arm Of the chair.
Aunt Agnes knows If she waits 10
minutes I'd help her." she said. She
prefers to go ahead alone, so she can
have the chance to say didn't help her
That pleases her, father, more'n my
help would help, an I've somethin' to
say to you. You've done wrong, father,
bout them sheep. If Earle Worthing
was home he'd say so too"
Kilrain was sober. Since Bucks re-
port of his reception by Cardross that
morning, the foreman had reached the
same opinion as his daughters.
"Pr'haps," he admitted; but it's
done now. Jess. Anyway, you needn't
bother"
I'm thinkin' of you," she said, sus-
pecting a reproach in his words.
you've bit off moren you can chew,
father, an you can't either swallow 1t
or spit it out"
Kilrain laughed, putting up an arm
and encircling the girls waist. You
come powerful nigh bein' right bout
that, Jess" he granted. II reckon was
too hot under my collar when done
it."
Jess nodded.
Il reckon that's it. an humble pies
sharper than even rhubarb pie"
"There'll be no humble pie bout it,"
said Kilrain, rising and laying down
his pipe. The bridges Is all down
tween Cardrossa an the Loop, an it's
his own doin's. You'll have mutton pie,
my gal, till you're plumb sick Of it,
"P'rhaps, an p'r'haps not"
She handed Kilrain his hat and took
his parting kiss, going into the kitchen

CHAPTER III-(Continued.)

Jess knew that on the plains nearer
to the barn lots the calves Of the milk
cows were turned at night.
She knew. too. that this was no calf
she so dimly discerned. Then, her sus-
picion leaping, she herself sprang
softly to her feet, seized from the wall
her quirt where it hung beside the
window. and. active and 1.-the as a
boy. dropped through the open case
ment to the ground outside.
Thence she ran, fleet as wild thing
of the plains, over the soft turf to
where a slight commotion and that
curious stamping Of the fore legs OF
affrighted cattle told her the home
calves were huddled in terror and dan
ger. A moment more and she could
dimly desCry their dark mass even as
a large object bounding forward to-
ward them in huge leaps, showed the
girl the cause of their stupefied fear.
Jess Kilrain, too. sprang forward,
cracking her Quirt sharply and crying
aloud. and so sudden and unexpected
was her interruption that the big sheep
dog covered, and. turning, cringed,
belly to the ground. at her feet.
She knew that dog. black as coal.
save for the tan about his muzzle and
the white ruff of splendid hair about
his neck-Cardross' prize collie. About
that covering neck Jess now gathered
the plant thong Of her quirt, holding
the dog fast.
Banjo, you DEVIL" she murmured.
You murderin' DEVIL What am
goin' to do to you. you beauty?"
Leave that to me-" said voice out
of the night behind her. and Jess Kill
rain Strengthened in her body. You
won't deny now, will you. Jess. that
it's Blass Cardross's sheep dogs that
murders the Loop calves? The brute
doubled on his tracks an lodged me,
but he amt goin' to double no more"
Buck stepped forward. In his ex-
tended hand the starlight cleaned
upon the steel barrel of his revolver.
Stan back" he said to the girl, and
the trigger clicked.
Quicker than thought Jess let go the
loop Of the quirt about the dogs neck
and dashed the creature with the full
back with a yelp of pain and fright.
fleeing into the darkness. Bucks bull
let tore open the earth where he had
crouched an instant before.
Quivering with white rage, the young
fellow faced the girl. Frightened but
determined. Jess Kilrain faced him.
80 1t is Cardross!" he breathed
right when l told you just now that
your love for him was maxim you
false, Jess Kilrain."
False to who?"
ITO yourself an to every one-even
to him, for you deny your love-"
The girls head lifted defiantly.
That's a lie!" she cried.
Buck turned from her, laughter
caustic and scornful on his lips.
You're a woman" he muttered. my
hands is tied. If a man had said that
to me they'd be his last words for a
time I'm goin' to get my horse"
She made no effort to detain him.
Curiously her anger burned not against
him, but again Blass Cardross for the
secrecy he imposed upon her.

CHAPTER ~.
WHEN FRIENDS FALL OUT.

OF the events of that night Buck
Brannon said nothing to any one, and
indeed to tighten the tension that now
existed between Earle Worthing and
Cardross. There had been a meeting
between these two, sought of intent by
Worthing, though somewhat against
the grain, and prompted by the plead.
ing of his mother in the interest OF
their old friendship.
Give him one more chance, Earle, "
Mrs. Worthing had urged. Then, II
he persists, I'll say no more Truly, the
devil seems to have entered into Blass
Cardross."
So Worthing had taken horse and
ridden over to the Raccoon river range
and there before the house, working
among the flowers on the big beds, he
found Nance Cardross. She drew off
her gloves and as he approached after
hitching his horse, went forward to
meet him.
You have become a stranger, Earle, "
she said, some touch of Constraint in
her manner for all her effort.
Has it been Of my doing, Nance?
1t was not easy for me to come to-
day. Really, my coming is in the ma
ture of a truce"
A slight color deepened in Nance
Cardross' cheeks and her glance turned
aside.
you must fight your battles with
Blass alone" she said little coldly.
DO you wish to see him?"
That is what 1 came for. had
hardly hoped to see you, Nance"
Yet / am pretty substantially Wis
ible How are your mothers plants
this spring."
why do you never come to see
them?" he asked gravely.
Have you not made that impossible
when every day your enmity toward
my brother grows?"
you can really put 1t that way
Nance? Why, 1 am here today to try
once more II cannot reach some more
friendly understanding with Blass. And
you must know my leading motive in
doing that"
II will go and send him to you," said
the girl, disregarding the meaning in
his last words. He may go out the
back way while we stand here talking
She left him with that, making nc
show Of asking him to go with her into
the house, and the omission was signifi-
cant to Worthing, who since his boy
hood had been as much at home there
as In his own house. His face set rather
grimly as he waited.
A moment later Cardross came to-
ward hirI across the sward.
His greeting was not friendly.
u am somewhat at loss to under
stand your being here, Worthing," he
said, after the many unexplained out
RACES 1 have suffered at the hands OF
your men,"
Their eyes met squarely, but it was
anger that gave decision to those OF
Cardross.
Il have come" worthing answered
'to see IL might not avert a tenfold
greater outrage on your part, Blass-
avert It peacefully II can; for avert
II, in one way or another, shall"
'"Then you have had your ride fol
nothing" said Cardross. II suppose
you refer to my plans of irrigation"
81 refer to your plans to deprive me
o. my water rights"
Cardross shrugged his shoulders. He
smiled annoyingly. asa.
EFT is your misfortune. wOrthing. that
