SACRIFICING the Woman.

That Carlyle could contemplate
with eanan'mity being unpraiscd,
unmon67ed and neglected all his
life, that he required nclther the

could be happy without them, was
pardohab}e and perhaps commend
able. That he should expect anoth-

pNdding}ess and rather f%orl0rn CON

such lofty principles. Men may

When Polly
Ran Away
There We're Too Easy Vic
tories.
By PERRY MOORE

"<Ebullition of piqueP" Polly
puckered her pretty face into a
scowl and jabbed in her hatpin vici-
ously. Temper, he meant As if
l hadn't reason and more! And
he'll come tonight as usual, will he.
in spite of my note, which he is sut re
SAYS much more than I intended"
Then she glanced at an open let
ter on the dresser. "Sure, are you,
Mr.. High-and-mighty? Well, I
guess you'll see, and I guess when
you arrive with your benignant
favor all ready to hand out and find
no little sinner anxiously waiting
for it you'll begin to think that my
note didn't say an atom more than
l meant"
She giggled a little, dashed her
handkerchief across her eyes, adj
justed her veil and slipped out
quietly-for Polly was running
away, and not a soul Of them should
know her whereabouts until she had
indited and dispatched an epistle to
Mr.. Fred Hanlon giving him to nm
derstand thoroughly that their en-
gagement was forever at an end.
This epistle should be very aigni-
fed and emphatic, leaving no posi-
bility of its being attributed to mere
pique. She would have delighted in
imparting her irrevocable decision
to Fred personally, only-well, Fred
had such a way, and he would just
pick her up and kiss her and laugh
at her and maybe say, "Nonsense,
little girl" and make her effort
ridiculous.
Of curse she would have to
laugh, even if she we're angry, and
when she laughed once it would be
all up with her dignity. She would
give in and take Fred's petting and
chocolate creams instead of carry
ing out her serious intention. The
dear boy always remembered her
taste for chocolate creams, but she
must remember he wasn't a dear
boy any more.
He was an autocrat who had as
sumed authority over her beyond
his right, had dictated as to her
conduct and made himself SO dis
agreeable that she was determined
to put up with it no longer.
She had been merely amusing
herself with that new, Spanish look
ing young man, who had a delight
full accent and a gratifying admira-
ton for Miss Polly. 1t was great
fun to engross him entirely and
render him oblivious to the charms
of the other girls,
She had meant nothing more at
all, but now. since it was to be all
off with Fred--Mr. Roderlque was
very wealthy - perhaps she would
eventually consent to reign in the
ancestral halls he had described so
glowingly.
Polly was swiftly pursuing her
way, mindful that there was need of
haste if she would reach her desti-
nation before it was "scarv.' dark.
when a couple Of the girls appeared
around a corner and hailed her.
She shook her head and passed

OUR DEFENSE AGAINST
FIRE

|NN0HEN a difficult fire is
+ W underway, such as the
one here Thursday
morning, the water system
temporarily loses its ordinary
status and becomes the basis of
the city's fire fighting plant,
Without an uninterrupted sup
ply of water no long drawn
fight can be carried on against
the fire demon. San Francis
co learned that fact when the
earthquake broke the mains,
leaving the city without an adj
eouate weapon for fire fight
ing. Other cities have had the
same experience in greater or
less degree. Pendleton could
easily have had a disasterOusI
experience prior to the install
lation of the gravity system.
The reservoir capacity was
then almost nil and reliance
was placed upon a pumping
plant that could easily have
broken down at the wrong
time. We now have two mil
lion gallons of water always
on hand and a main that con-
veys an equal amount down
from Thorn Hollow every "a
hours. 1t is a pretty good de-
tense against fire as was shown
here yesterday when with TO-
streams playing upon the
Belts building fire the supply
of water in the reservoirs was
unaffected.

WHY WILSON IS POPULAR
- ISINTERESTED press dis
- patches recite the fact

n ESlNlERESIED press dlS-
- patches recite the fact
that on his trip west to
Nebraska President Wilson
was given a tremendous ova-
ton. He was everywhere re
ceived with acclaim, so much
so that the fervor of his recep-
ton was featured more than
the presidents speech.
Yet why should not this be
the case. It is good American
doctrine that when a man in
office delivers the goods" he
should have the reward Of pub
lie approval. President vii.
son has made good in a thou
sand ways but particularly by
keeping us at peace with the
world and protecting our pros
perity. Under Wilson the
country has what it wants and
all the partisans to the con-
trary Notwithstanding a vast
amount of the credit belongs
to the man at the helm.
One reason for President
Wilson's popularity is the re-
alization by the people that in
supporting Wilson they are
supporting themselves. Should
they fight him and strive to up
set what he has done they
themselves would be the chief
losers, in the event of success.
