a vengeance.

many a year; ITS a.goin' to be a
mighty dry season an it's a.comin'

Which prophecy seemed due to be
fulfilled. a blue heat haze lay deep in
the valleys, hung amid the hills. The
deep floor OF pine needles In the big
woods was already dry as powder, and
It was only late July. The camp was
humming ahead with the work. They
had exceeded their expectations in
getting out logs, sending out more
than they had planned.
Miss Orlway. still mistress Of the
little south room, worked feverishly
at the new story Of the timberlands.
A bit OF her brightness. some OF her
painstaking cheeriness, was gone with
the summers heat She had thought
that long before this she would have
won. that the engagement she had so
daringly announced would be a fact
She could not understand his holding

her to come out and see the Siletz

voice she laid q Jealous hand over the
papers, hurriedly pushed them back
for safety, and rose. But Fate, that
had been waiting, gave oyerimpetus to
the cautious motion and showed them
a little too far back. so that they hung

rag-carpeted floor.
Come, Sletz," called Sandry as they
started for the road to intercept the
basket-bearers. but Siletz. sitting in
the west door with her chin in her
cupped palms. shook her head.
The heat was intense for the coast
country. dry and brilliant. and the
hills were blue as turquoise. She
watched Sandry and Miss Ordway for
long time as they picked among the
treasures from the tide-lands, and pres
emily they fell in with the small brown

PROHIBITION PRoHlslra.

You cannot convince the manage
ment of the Polk Hospital for Inebri.
ates at Knoxville, Ia, that prohibition
does not prohibit. They have the best
possible proof that 1t does. According
to the report of the county auditor
since January the number of pa
tients sent to the hospital has been
dwindling until at present there are
Just half as many patients as there
were year ago. Even before the
state prohibitory law went into effect,
the fact that Des Moines was without
saloons tended to cut down the alco-
holic patients.
There were 2S patients during the
last quarter OF 1915 as compared with
SO in the same period of 1914, and
since the first of this year the number
has decreased still more.
