CHAPTER XIX.
A Lie and a Theft.

Sandry recovered rapidly. His youth
and 1.-the strength were powerful aids
and the broken bones inside the plas-
ter casts knitted busily. With his re-
turn to consciousness, Miss Ordway
relaxed her vigilance. She gave up
her place without protest to Ma Daily
and began to spend a part of her days
in the little room. This had been San
dry's urgent request.
See what you've lost already in
time and strength and energy" he
pleaded, please go to your own work. ="
On one of the first days OF Ma
Daily's attendance, he asked to see
Siletz.
The general was wise and she sent
the girl alone. Sandry closed his eyes
and lay waiting for the light step that
always reminded him of wild things in
the forest-so slipping, soft and
hushed was it.
Presently he heard it coming down
the slope Ii slowed as it neared the
Office and for long time stopped al
together outside the door. His heart
leaped uncontrollably and conflicting
emotions flushed his face as he called
her softly.
Come here, S'Ietz," he heard him
self saying, though for his life it was
not what he wished to say, and she
came and dropped on her knees beside
him, clasping her hands on the sheet
at his side. There was nothing of the
conscious avowal Of Poppy's words in
her look and attitude, only the simple
betrayal of nature as open as the
day. The shining light of joy in her
face, the hushed acknowledgment of
Gods sparing of his life, was all-sufft-
cient. In a fash he heard the words
of Kolawmies half-breed:
for S'letz is your woman"
And he knew they were true. By
every sign of her soul and body they
were true, as simply as the flower wor-
ships the sun all day. And there in
the little south room, from whose open
window he could hear the click OF a
TYPEWRITER, was the most brilliant
woman of his own world whom he had
ever kUOWl, q WOAldii SOOh ~ bS "a

had meant to use her name alone,

But what be would have said was
left unspoken, for Ma Daily creaked
in the doorway with bowl of broth.

STEELTON AND NEARBY TOWNS
PA. STEEL SALE
| EXPECTED SOON
Either Donner or Schwab Will
Gain Control This Week,
Is Rumor
Sfeeial TO .he Telegraph

Philadelphia, Feb. 15.-Indications
are that the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany will be sold before the end of
this week. Whether control will pass
to Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, or to
William III. Donner, president of Cam
bria Steel and chairman of the Penn
sylvania Steel board. is a question not
yet answered.
1t was said yesterday that a confer
ence was held by those interested in
the negotiations. According to reports,
this meeting was attended by Donner,
a representative of Schwab's, officials
of the Pennsylvania Company and the
Reading Iron Company and Effingham
b. Morris. a Pennsylvania Railroad
director, who represents the company
on the PENNSYLVANIA Steel board. Later
Mr.. Donner declined to discuss Penn
sylvania Steel affairs.
1t is generally believed that If Dom
ner parts with the So per cent. in
terest which he holds ii will be for a
high price. Schwab has offered the
railroads, which together hold another
3S per cent. of the stock, 500 for the
preferred and $40 for the common,
cent. bonds. There was a report yes
terday that he had later offered to pay
for the stock in five-year notes.
If Donner sold his holdings to
Schwab he would probably demand
cash. and for this reason many persons
believe that the Cambria head will not
sell. but, on the other hand. will en-
deavor to obtain the railroads shares.
II Schwab obtained Pennsylvania Steel
it would add a valuable unit to the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, as the

Dope Law Reduces Sale
of Narcotics 80 Per Cent.

fThe question as to whether the legis-
lative committee OF the Pennsylvania
Pharmaceutical Association, shall have
a bill drafted providing for State anti
narcotic regulation to supplement the
Harrison Federal act and afford still
Iurther protection TO the public, will
doubtless come up for discussion at
the annual meeting at Reading this
year, especially in view of the state
ments recently made in the newspapers
that the number of drug habitues has
not decreased.
Declarations have been made by the
Jobbtng and manufacturing interests
through whose hands these narcotic
drugs originally pass, that the total
amount imported and sold has been re-
duced about so per cent; therefore the
conditions referred to must be local
and not general
As the Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical
Association was prominently identified
with the passage of the Pennsylvania
runners of the Harrison act and has
enerEeticaliy worked for years to aid
in the passage of Federal legislation,
it gives the members much satisfaction
10 learn from the first annual report of
the Internal Revenue Commissioner on
the administration OF the Harrison act,
that out of 52,lS7 druggists registered
in the United States under this act,
only 216 violations of the law were re-
ported and most of these were of a
technical character and not violations
of the spirit of the law
These figures show that over 99.6 per
cent. of pharmacists are found TO be
complying with a law, which, so far as
they are concerned, is full of hardships,
pitfalls and arbitrary requirements.
For instance. it is perfectly legal and
proper TO sell over the counter to any
customer certain household remedies or
medicines containing minute amounts
Of narcotic drugs too small to become
habit forming and specifically permitted
by the exemption clauses of the act, but
if a prescription is presented calling
for any quantity, however small, of one
of these preparations compounded with
another medicine, that prescription is
subject to all of the restrictions which
a really habit forming prescription
calls for and therefore cannot be re-
newed.
The multitudinous records and reports
and the extraordinary care which must
attend all handling of narcotic drugs
falls with greater force upon pharma-
cists than upon physicians.
As the primary object of the law is
the benefit of the public and as reports
show that this object is being achiev-
cd. there is no disposition on the part
of pharmacists to 10 more than protes [
against such inconsistent ruling as that
of Treasury Decision No. 22i3, the prac-
tical effect of which is explained above
The ruling should either be modified or
withdrawn, or else all exemptions
should be abolished. As the latter would
necessitate the amending of the law
iself, it would seem more practical to
modify the ruling.
