been a most dramatic one at times.
two members having threatened to re-
sign if efforts were made to attempt to
force" Superintendent Thurston to
nominate some one other than the per-
son he believed best qualified for the
position.
Because of the fact that the board
and Mr.. Thurston have been fully de-
termined that the best person availa-
BILE should be obtained for the posi-
ton, and that because of the Evans
case, the congressional hearings and
other matters the school heads had not
sufficient time to look around, the posi-
ton has been open since the latter part
through the death of Miss Elizabeth
v. Brown.
Gives Chance for "Campaigning.'
The extended vacancy gave opportun-
ity for considerable campaigning
among friends of various candidates,
and no little pressure was brought to
bear by these friends.
On this account the board went about
the work Of selection as quietly as posi-
BILE Supt. Thurston made several trips

all the facts gathered during the several
months, however, it is understood Supt.

felt Miss Marshall the best qualified for
the position.

Mother Says Husband Made
Life a He'll and She Shot
In Self Defense

New York, July 12.-Five year old
Mary Beutinger, lisped in her baby
prattle today the story of how her
mother shot down her papa yesterday.
"Papa is dead. - she said. "Mamma
killed him. That IS why mamma is away
today. We were all asleep but lot of
noise woke us up and we heard mamma
scream. Mamma and papa had been
mad at each other. Mamma will be
back soon.

possibility that Mary and Margaret

in the bedroom of the $4,000 Beutin-

Beutinger shot down her husband, in
self defense she asserts, will be called
upon to testify Mrs. Beutinger, her
self. locked in the Newark Jail. reiterat-
ed her declaration she only shot when
her husband sought to abuse her.
"It was retribution. For 10 years he
has made my life hell, +" Mrs. Beutin-
ger said.
Mrs. Beutinger said she was subject
to almost continuous mistreatment' cit
ing occasions when she said her hus-
band tried to gouge her eyes, beat her
unmedcifully and checked her. The
couple had five children and it was for
the sake of these, Mrs. Beutinger claims
that she tried to suffer in silence.
All five shots which she fired at her
husband took effect.

Playground Fills
Long Felt Want

The Albert pasture playground seems
to be filling one of those long felt
wants, as every day from $50 to 300
children are availing themselves of the
advantages of the play apparatus.
Sand playing seems to be one of the
favorite occupations of the children, ac-
cording to Miss Schultz and to give
them larger space in which to play,
the Salem Sand and Gravel company
has lately donated two loads of sand.
The dam for the swimming pool will
soon be constructed as the street COM
missioner has already delivered the lum-
ber. The water will be from two or
three feet deep and from time to time
it will be opened in order to give the
children fresh running water.
Through the generosity of Graber
Bros. who have donated water fixtures,
the children will have a supply at all
times of drinking water.

FOURTEENTH INSTALLMENT
HELEN'S RACE AGAINST TIME

A fortnight spent at the Hotel Holly
wood went very rapidly for Helen
Holmes. The princely munifcence of
her foster uncle, Amos Rhinelander,
in making her again through his gift
of substantial interest in the Super
stition mine, young woman of large
means, had restored her to social re-
sponsibilities. These were hers by
right Of birth and Inheritance but she
had been deprived of them by the un-
timely death of her father.
Nor was her benefactor a man to do
things by halves. During the time
that Helen was his guest in the city,
he seemed an unusually busy man. AL
ways fully occupied, his time now was
hardly his own, so frequent were his
dashes in and out of town, and so
many his engagements. And during
this time something of an air of mys.
terry surrounded his movements despite
all he could do to make them appear
as of ordinary routine imposed on him
by his railroad interests. To Helen's
frequent queries as to what he was do,
ing day after day, Rhinelander re,
turned answers which no doubt seemed
to him to satisfy her But Helen per,
ceived these were mere evasions cal,
culated to put her off and kept her in
ignorance of what he really was doing.
What ostensibly was most on his
mind was that Helen should make all
preparations for resuming a social
state of life to which she had been
for some strenuous time stranger.
He had already restored to her serv.
ice, after diligent inquiry, the faithful
maid with whom Helen had parted
when she left her fathers house.
On the morning that Helen walked
with her maid out of the hotel and
stepped into Rhinelander's car, the sun
was shining in clear sky. Helen was
driven from the city rapidly north
along the Santa Barbara boulevard
until the party entered the country
familiar to her for many years-4the

dispatch to Spike and asked him to
meet Storm at the station.
When Spike had gone, Rhinelander,
who had been telling Helen of his
plans for the future, resumed his sub
ject. "And Helen" he said, at length,
I'm going to make request of you
now that may seem very peculiar. You
know, as well as do, how my nephew,
Earl Seagrue, has treated both you
and me. He has been about as mea7
as a man could be, in spite of our eff
forts to treat him fair. But the fight i.
over and we have won. H. is my only
sisters child. She died when he was
mere boy and asked me, on her
death bed, to look after Earl and be to
him what she would have been, had
she lived. You know whether I've tried
to carry out her injunction; you know
what it has cost we in more ways
than one; you know as we'll as anyone
that I have been patient with him."
Helen regarded her friend intently.
"Seagrue is going to pieces Rhine
lander went on. II cannot tell you
all know; but I know enough to dis
tress me very much. 1 want to help
him for my sisters sake, to make
man of himself again, if he will be
one. And for this reason-and to
show his associates in his prosperous
days that his own relatives are not 60
ing to turn him down. want you,
when your friends whom I have in
vited are here today, to invite him to
come, also.''
He saw the grave look on Helen's
face. Il know that you don't like to do
it. It's almost an impossibility to ask
you to do it; but Dor my sake, Helen,
I wish you would He said no more,
but left her alone. It certainly was
rather a bitter thing for her. But she
knew she owed more than that to her
benefactOr.
Rhinelander was quite right. Sea-
grue had been rapidly going to pieces.
He was comforting that day with Ward
and with Adams, his servant, concern
ing their unsuccessful attempt to OBJ
tain possession of the Superstition
mine. The slightest mishap to Sea-
grue's plans served now to infuriate
him to degree of anger such as
he had never previously given way 70.
He upbraided both the men roundly
and dismissed Ward with abuse. Hard
ly a moment afterward, a man ap-
peared at the apartment door with a
note. Seagrue opened it impatiently:
My dear Mr.. Seagrue:
shall be at home today to
my friends. There will be ten
mis- and tea.
HELEN HOLMES.
He studied the note in some sur
prise. 1t certainly was not overcordial,
yet, it might mean an opening in di-
rection in which he would be glad tn

envy but held back by Spike and Rhine
lander, launched a terrific abuse at
Seagrue and did not choose nice words
in denouncing him and his conduct.
Indeed, his anger was so uncontrol-
liable, and to Helen's mind his lack Of
restraint before her guests so mex
cusable, that she upbraided Storm Sc
verely for his Incorporate language.
Seagrue, busting his hands with his
handkerchief, already had himself I'M
der better control. It was his oppor-
tunity to take advantage of Storms
natural but extreme indignation, and
he made the most of the moment by
protesting to Helen to excuse Storms
fury, but blaming his bad temper for
the disturbance. Storm, himself,
cooled down by Spike, now tried to
make his apologies to Helen.
But is was too late. Helen would
not listen to him, and, turning away
with her guests, left Storm with no.
body to sympathize with him but
Spike.
Reaching the tennis courts, some of
the guests took up the play, while
others, looking back toward the scene
of excitement, saw Helen coming over
with Seagrue and Rhinelander. Reach
ing the courts, Helen, instead Of stop
ping, passed on with Seagrue. Two
men watched them walk away with
particular interest: Spike, who seemed
deeply concerned with the awkward
situation, and George Storm, who now
began to feel the full force of Helen's
disapprobation.
For an hour she moved among her
guests, accompanied a good part of the
time by Seagrue. To tell the truth,
1t was not wholly by her own desire.
AS her indignation cooled she began
to consider that her lover had some
grounds for his ungovernable outbreak
and the exploits in which Seagrue had
figured In the endeavor to do her and
her friends all manner of harm re-
