couldn't respect myself if ever she
set foot inside my house,
Joe and Jenny had long talk with
Mildred. They pointed out the ne
cessity of taking action. In fact, they
had both heard that Toms infatu-
alton was a serious thing, though
neither told Mildred of that In the
end Mildred succumbed to their sug-
gestions and placed herself in their
hands.
Mrs. Hilda Lagarde received a let
ter the next day, written in the mic
est vein. Would she give the writer
the pleasure of her company to din
ner on the following evening at Z
o'clock? Mrs. Benton had heard so
much about Mrs. Lagarde from her
husband that she. felt they ought to
know each other.
Hilda Lagarde read the letter very
thoughtfully. She scented a trick.
She knew that her conduct with Tom
had not been entirely discreet. She
was as much an adventures as a
woman of her type could be. She had
married the rich old man for his mo-
ney. After he died the shock of dis
covering that the money was hardly
existent had Infatuated her. She had
been left with the big house on her
hands and Toms sympathy had first
touched and then interested her.
When she discovered that Tom was
rich, and genius, and heard lying
report that he and his wife did not
agree, she had let herself indulge in
thoughts of catching Tom.
But above all she was discreet. She
had attained to social success in spite
of the misfortune of birth. She
would not let that slip. Not for worlds |
would she have endured publicity.
She had often wondered what sort of |
woman Mrs. Benton was. She must |
see her, spy out the land before she

Lagarde, gorgeously attired, was adj
mitted into the Benton apartment by
a neat servant, who respectfully took
her cloak and hat from her and pre-
coded her along the hall toward a
closed door.
Hilda Lagarde was almost at the
door when she stopped aghast as
shrin scream rang out from behind
it.
How dare you lay your hands on
me, you monster"
''I'n show you now! I've stood for
you long enough. Take that for a
lesson!"
The terrified woman, rooted to the
doormat, heard the thud of a mans
fist upon a soft object, and then
heavy fall Faint means ensued.

Tom Benton's voice. "And if l have

woman's crazy over me, what's more,
she's ten years younger than you are.

worse yet for you"
Hilda Lagarde staggered uncer-
tainly toward the door of the apart
ment. But the maid stood in the
way.

Victor Ehrhart son of Grant Ehr-

ing in a critical condition at st. An
thongs hospital with but small
ohanes of recovering from a bullej
wound inflicted by himself yesterday
afternoon about O'Clock when, ac-
cording t. his story told this morn
ing, his revolver was accidentally dis
charged
He was in the garage at the Peter
Taehella ranch on Wild Horse at the
time Of the shooting According to
the story he told at the hospital this
morning, he was extracting the shells
from his ,3S revolver and had "brok-
en-" the gun so that the barrel pointed
toward his body. In some way he
says, the revolver was discharged at
the time. He fired several other
shots afterwards to attract attention,
he says
A message was sent in to his father
who, accompanied by DR. f. f. Boy
den, FASTENED out by auto They
brought the young man to the hospital
and he was operated upon at once. 1t
was found that the outlet had entered
just below the heart, had coursed
downward, puncturing the stomach
twice, cutting an artery and had
lodged just under the skin near the
backbone
The cutting Of the artery caused a
violent hemorrhage and he almost
bled to death before the flow could
be checked. So weakened was he by
loss of blood that 1t was thought he
was dying several times during the
night and morning but at noon he was
reported a little stronger However,
the doctors hold out no great hope
for his recovery.
The youung man rs about 81 years
old.

ger Of breaking up Two hundred
survivors are going to San Francisco
by special train today. The work of
checking the passengers was difficult.
The company asserts that only five
are dead. Other versions give five
missing besides the five known to be
drowned. The coroner is conducting
an inquest Seamen believe that if
the cargo is lightened it will be pos
sible to float the Bear and save her.
Four bodies have peen identified
The fifth, a woman, is difficult to
identify The bodies were all smear
ed with OIL which flowed from the
broken tanks of the Bear and covered
the sea.
The coroner has subpoenaed Cap
tain Nopander and several members
of the crew. It was declared that an
investigation showed that the Bear
was in no immediate danger after
striking. The coroner was inclined to
criticize the captain for ordering out
the lifeboats instead of keeping all
passengers aboard
Joseph Dooney of Portland and
John Hansen assistant engineer were
hailed as heroes. Each dived into the
surf and saved woman's life.

Wilson's Deeds as President
Pointed Out in Nomination
Speech by John w. Wescott

ST. LOUIS, June 16.-John w.
Wescott of New Jersey, in nominating
Wilson as the party's choice for presi-
Dental candidate said as follows:
Prophecy is fulfilled. The eter-
nal verities of righteousness have pre-
vailed. Undsmayed by the calamities
of war, unmoved by vituperation and
vain defamation, holding to the pure
altar of truth, the schoolmaster states
man.. the statesman financier, the fl
nancier emancipator the emancipator
pacificator, the pacificator is the NOR
al leader of democracy.
THE nation is at work. The nation
is at peace. The nation is accomplish
ing the destiny of democracy. Four
years ago the nation was not at
work. With resources boundless with
a hundred million people eager to
achieve and do, commerce languished,
industries halted, men were idle. The
country struggled in the tolls of an
inadequate financial system. Credit
was at the mercy of piracy. The
small businessman was bound hand
and foot. Panic hung like a storm
cloud over the business world.
Now bursting granaries, teeming
factories. crowded railways and over
laden ships distribute wealth and
comfort to uncounted millions the
world over. The parallel of American
prosperity is not found in industrial
history, nor is it caUseless. 1t did not
descend, like merciful accident, from
heaven. It cannot be attributed to
the manufacture of war materials,
constituting a bare five percentum Of
the volume of national business.
There stands the astounding phe-
nomenon of American property What
is its explanation. The Euclid of fl
nancial theory worked to a demon
stration measures for the country's re-
lief. He promptly put into effect the
legislative expression of a great pro-
gram He did not talk. He did
things He dynamited the momentary
dams and let credit flow to the remot-
est corners of the land, its spray
dashing even upon Loreign shores He
released the nations resources and set
the energies OF all men free TO exploit
them. The prosperity of the nation is
the product of craftsmanship and IL
nancial genius.
THE nation is at peace in a world
at war. America is confronted with
appalling realities. An attempt to
catch the presidency by phrases is a
work of folly. With the whole world
tense and anxious. patriotic advice and
suggestion are of more value than
abuse and defamation.
What are the realities that face
us? In Mexico exist the potentiali-
ties of civilization In her wealth. her
history, her schools, her religion. her
needs. her very suffering and patriot
ism lie the indestructible seeds of
progress, To have conquered Mexi-
co would have seated death at the
American fireside It would have de-
