hardly know. Yet-there is some
thing"
She fell silent a moment, standing
beside him.
The winds of God are heavy on my
soul, Sandry." she said at last, ear
nestly, land they tell me that you
are sad. What can do--oh, what can
do to help?"
There was in her voice the simple
cry of sympathy so intense that it
was anguish, and Sandrys lips tight
ened in the darkness.
For heady moment he could scarce
resist the bidding of the lawless thrill
that she was ever capable of sending
through him, to take her into his arms
as he had done that day when she
beheld the sea. But a tardy thought
OF Miss Ordway shut his hands upon
themselves and steadied his voice.
He put his hands upon her shout
ders and turned her round.
GO back to Ma Daily, child" he
said, but his voice had fallen to a
whisper. whisper that was a caress
laden as heavily with wistful sadness
IS whisper might be, "and don't fret
/ am all right
Without a word obedient to him as
the primal woman ever is to man,
Siletz went away in the night toward
the cook-shack.
AS she passed up the path she al
most brushed the garments of Poppy
Ordway, standing in rigid silence, her
hands shut in the folds of her gown,
her rose lips ashen, her eyes strained
wide.
Fool Fool! Fool!" the woman
was thinking in rage of passion.
why didn't suspect? She is some
thing to him-she has her charm.
There is danger in her to mech,
Sandry, you stupid, simple heart!"
For Poppy Ordway had heard the ca
ress of that lowered voice. The new
passion in her took fright, and furi-
GUS, choking rage sent the blood hot
upon her heart.
The next morning he found upon his
window-ledge handful of fern and a
spray of tiny, yellow. waxlike flowers
that were beginning to show where
the little streams tore down the noun
tains, lining their rocky beds. He
took them in and put them away in a
drawer among his papers, silent voice
of sympathy that was as delicate as
1t was strong.
That morning when Poppy Ordway
encountered Siletz the bright smile
she gave her covered a sudden hatred
that had sprung, full grown, from
mans low whisper; and the bad times
that followed for the girl had their
inception then.

When your kidneys get sluggish and

Either consult a good, reliable physi-

This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM

for generations to clean and stimulate

A talking machine isn't in it with

a joke, either-it was proved by de-
cision handed down in the New York
supreme court. A woman suing for
separation on the grounds of deser-

husband strenuously objected to the
alimony on the ground that he had
purchased a talking machine and was
very heavily involved in trying to

A surgeon who has been at work

obtained by burning wool or cotton

wounds. When bound over the injury
with the bandage which every soldier
is supposed to carry the ashes relieve

effective IN wounds inflicted by sabers

testants whose claim to seats is
based on the claim that they were
"less corrupt than the other fellowe."
There were three sets Of alleged
delegates from the District seeking
seats in the convention at Chicago.
The testimony was so nauseous re-
garding the methods by which they
were elected" that both the national
committee and the credentials COM
mittee have discarded all Of them.
Doubtless the convention will do the
same.
Not much wonder, either. II isn't
SO much the fault of the delegates,
or of the people .of the District.
There is no political organization or
responsibility or seriousness Of mind
or purpose in the committee. There
is no reason why there should be.
Congress, by denying to this town
any voice in managing its affairs,
has invited-nay, urged-the citi-
zenry to be just as corrupt as it may
choose. What sort Of an atmosphere
is that to maintain around the ma
tional legislature? Washington is
told, million times a year, that it
is governed by Congress as a model
city. Model Of what? It isn't even
given chance to learn the first les
sons in civic decency.
The serious-ninded people Of
Washington will do we'll to take this
rebuke to heart. This town cannot
expect to get itself taken seriously
unless It will take itself seriously.
Let it look scrupuiously after the
one talent that is entrusted to it,
and it will perchance in time get the
the two talents Of participation in It's
own government; after that may
even come the ten-talent privilege of
governing itself.

THE GERMANS AT vAUX

The battle Of Antietam, familiar to
every student Of the civil war, would
seem to have been miniature of the
contest-which has been going on for
the possession Of Fort de Vaux, five
miles distant from Verdun. The
latest dispatches indicate that at last
the German efforts have been sue
cessful, and that the little village
and the fort which tops its neighbor-
ing hill have fallen. into Teuton pos
session.
Mcclellan and Lee, on those two
September days in 1862, fought back
and forth across the gentle slopes
and swales Of Antietam without
either gaining marked advantage
over the other. Five times the Ger
mans have traversed the Valley of
Vaux, and each time they have been
driven back before they could gain
secure position on the heights outside
the village.
The official German declaration Of
today is that the sixth attack was
conclusive, and that with the storm
ing Of the fort on the I'd Of June the
doughty fortress passed into their
hands with some seven hundred Of
the French forces who could not re-
tire. This gives the Germans pos
session Of the advanced line Of
French Notifications on the right
bank of the Mouse, and places in dan
ger the four forts of the second line
of defense, whose only protection,
should the Cote de Froide be carried,
is from the forts on the other side of
the river and close to Verdun itself.

GENE RAJ COCKTAILS REPORT

The report Of General Cocktails to
Secretary Of War Baker is that the
slides at the canal have been con-
auered. The repeated interruption
Of traffic, the delays to shipping,
and, above all, the possible useless
ness Of the canal for Government
ships in time Of stress, has been a
source Of keen disappointment not
to say anxiety to the Government.
The assurance Of the best informed
authority that danger is passed is
welcome news. The rumor that
General Cocktails accompanied his
report with the request that he be
relieved of further duty and retired

DR.. Lyman Found Guilty
Of SWindling By Mails

NEW YORK, June s.-Dr. John Grant
Lyman, international swindler OF rep
utation. was found guilty of using the
mails to defraud yesterday by a jury
before Judge wolverton in the United
States District Court. He will be
sentenced this morning. Under the
law he can be sentenced to thirty
years Imprisonment and to pay fine
of $4,000. the penalty being Ave years
and 81. 900 fine on each of the six in
dictments.
The jury, after celebrating ffty-two
minutes, returned the verdict on all
six counts. This apparently was a
the result of the deliberations he
broke down and sobbed. With his
face buried in his hands he cried for
twenty minutes before his wife suo-
ceeded In quieting him.

Lyman took the stand himself in
the afternoon. He told the story Of
his career from the time of his birth
in Auburn. N Y, in 1855. The mar:
rative included the making OF several
fortunes, escape from jails and his
business ventures here and abroad.

PUTTING THE DISTRICT IN A BAD
LIGHT

The unsavory primary that was
held in the District Of Columbia to
select delegates to the Republican
national convention has wrought its
natural effect. The national COM
mittee, after examining the contest
presented to it in behalf of three diff
ferent sets of alleged delegates, de-
cided against them all, and passed
the case on up to the credentials
committee. That committee in
dorsed the decision Of the national
committee, and threw them all out.
Porto Rico and the Philippines and
Alaska are able to select delegates
to a national convention in the fash
ion that gets them past the censors-
none too particular, either-that
pass on the common decencies of
such cases. The District of Column
bia apparently cannot.
Memory doesn't run to the time
when, on behalf of either party, it
was possible to select delegates from
this jurisdiction without a scandal.
In the good old days, when any old
sort of credential was good enough
to suit a national committee that
was busy making up a majority for
somebody or other, one delegation or
another was certain to be seated.
That time has passed; the new re-
gime Is disposed to shut out con-

LESSON OF THR FAILURE OF
SENATOR HARDIN0'S SPEECH

Newspaper reports from Chicago
are generally In accord that the
speech Of Senator Harding, tempo
rary chairman Of the Republican ma
tional convention, aroused little or
no enthusiasm among the delegates.
Senator Harding did not know
whether he was addressing a con-
vention which would nominate Re-
publican ticket, Progressive ticket,
or a combination Of each. He did
not know whether there was to be
union against the Democratic party
, or whether the opposition to the
Democratic party was to be fatally
split. He did not know whether to
attune his declarations to harmony
or to dissension. And so, trying to
steer middle course, trying to sat
isfy both sides, he failed to arouse
interest in either, as the man in pub
lie life who does not pursue a course
straight ahead, with his eye fixed on
one sure object, must always fall.
All the delegates now gathered in
Chicago, those in the Republican
convention and those in the Progress
sive convention, can do nothing bet
ter for themselves, nothing better
for the voters whom they represent,
nothing better for the country, than
to heed the emphatic lesson to be
drawn from the manner in which
Senator Harding's speech failed to
impress anybody.
