how he had sought out Gerald Morse
to assist him in removing Helena to
her home, Of the selfish refusal of the

Rodney Preston, who had sought the
hermit life of the island to wear out
his longing love, sat in front of his lit.

Helena appeared.
She spoke not a word at the first.
She clasped his hand, she sank to her
knees and kissed it. He was nightly

Then she sobbed out her sorrow, her
gratitude, and, too, her humiliation.
She was free from her promise to the
poltroon who had shrunk from saving
her at the cost Of his own discontinue

"Oh, don't you understand" she
:ried-"don't you understand" and
she lifted her pleading eyes to his own.
And the light shone in upon his soul
at last, for in their glowing depths
Rodney Preston read the fervor of an
undying love.

HOW It LOOKED IN

With these precincts missing, Prcsi

or democratic leaders would demand q
recount in many counties.
Facing the certainty of veritablc

their earlier claims of sweeping plu-

republican state committee said early

This is bpsed on the vote counted so far

STATE HOUSE NEWS

Unless the Southern Pacific can
furnish ears, we will have to close
down indefinitely, was the substance
OF a telegram sent to the public SER
vice commission today by the Ewauna
Box company of klamath Falls. The
telegram said further that their trade
and themselves were in distress because
of the car shortage and they asked if
there was no immediate relief in sight
They state the ear shortage is worse
than ever before and that they re-
ceived only III cars in the past six days,
and five of these were gondolas. They
say the COMPANY is behind 122 ears
since September 26 or total of 202
cars since May l.
Secretary Ostrander has an inter
view with the S. P. officials scheduled
for this afternoon and will write an
answer sometime today telling what
can be done in this case. 1t is his be-
lief that the best movement in Southern
Oregon and California may have been
completed to such an extent that cars
used in that service may be diverted to
help the box company. Although the
box factory needs box cars they can
make use of gondolas, and it is probable
that style of ear will meet the situa-
tion for the present.
