When Joe suddenly announced his
after all, LIE Moyne suspected a ruse to
get rid of him, and insisted on going
along. Joe consented grudgingly.
Cars at Bailey's garage" he said
sulIenly. II don't know when I'll get
back"
''That won't matter" ks tone was
sheerful I'm not sleeping, anyhow"
That passed unnoticed until they
were On the highroad, with the car
running smoothly between yellowing
Gelds of wheat. Then:
$50 you've got it too" he said.
"We're fine pair Of fools. We'd both
be better of If sent the car over q
bank"
He gave the wheel a reckless twist,
and LIE Moyne called him to time
sternly.
They had supper at the White
Springs hotel-not on the terrace, but
On the little room where CarlOtta and
Wilson had taken their first meal to-
gether. Joe submitted with bad grace,
but the meal cheered and steadied
him. Z. found him more amenable to
reason, and, gaining his confidence,
learned of his desire to leave the city.
"Pm stuck here" he said. I'm the
only one, and mother yells blue MUIR
der when talk about it. I want to go
20 Cuba. My uncle owns farm down
there"
perhaps can talk your mother
ever. I've been there"
Joe was all interest. His dilated pu-
pills became more normal, his restless
hands grew quiet. KS even voice. the
picture he drew OF life on the island,
the stiffness of the little hotel in its
midweek dizziness, seemed to quiet the
boys tortured nerves. He was nearer
20 peace than he had been for many
days. But he smoked incessantly, light
ang one cigarette from another.
AT ten o'clock he left x. and went
Tor the car. He paused for moment,
rather sheepishly, by KS chair.
'Im feeling lot better" he said. II
haven't got the band around my head.
You talk to mother"
That was the last f. saw of Joe
Drummond until the next day.

CHAPTER XXI.

Carlotta had set the hour for meet
ing Wilson at nine, when the late dusk
of summer had fallen; and she met
him then, smiling, family perfumed
white figure, slim and young, with a
thrill In her voice that was only half
assumed.
Its very late" he complained.
S'Surely you are not going to be back
at ten"
II have special permission to be out
BATE"
"Goodl" And then, recolrecting their
new situation: 'We have lot to talk
over. 1t will take time"
At the White Springs hotel they
stopped to fill the gasoline tank of the
car. Joe Drummond saw Wilson there,
On the sheet-iron garage alongside of
The road. The Wilson car was in the
shadow. 1t did not occur to Joe that
the white figure liz the car was not
Sidney. He went rather white, and
stepped out of the zone of light. The
influence OF LIE Moyne was still on
him, however, and he went on quietly
with what he was doing. But his hands
shook as he filed the radiator. He
had been an ass; LIE Moyne was right.
He'd get away-to Cuba If he could
and start over again. He would forget
the Street and let it forget'him
The men in the garage were talking.
''To Schwitter's, Of course, one Of
Them grumbled
''That was Wilson, tho surgeon in
town Ee used to come here. Now
he goes on to Schwitter's. Pretty girl
ne had with him."
So Max Wilson was taking Sidney to
Echwitter's, making her the butt of
garage talk The smiles of the men
were evil. Joe's hands grew cold, his
head hot. red mist spread between
him and the line of electric lights. He
knew Schwitter's, and he knew Will
son. When K, growing uneasy, came
out into the yard, he was lin time to
gee Joe run his car into the road and
turn it viciousIy toward Schwitter's.
CarIotta's nearness was having it's
calculated effect on Max Wilson. His
spirits rose as the engine, marking
perfect time, carried them along the
nuiet roads.
Partly it was reaction-relief that
he should be so reasonable, so com.
leisant--and a sort Of holiday spirit

after the days hard work. OddEy
enough, and not SO Irrational as may
appear, Sidney formed a part OF the
evenings happiness she loved
him; that, back in the lecture Foom,
eyes and even mind on the lecturer,
her heart was with him.
So, with Sidney the basis Of his hap
Iiness, he made the most Of his eve
nng's freedom. He sang little IN
his clear tenor-even, once when they
bad slowed down at crossing, bent
over audaciously and kissed Carlotta' 8
hand In the full glare Of passing
train.
"How reckless Of your
II like ito be reckless" he replied.
His boyishness annoyed Carlotta.
She did not want the situation to get
out Of hand. Moreover, what was so
real for her was only too plainly a
lark for him. She began to doubt her
power.
The hopelessness Of her situation
was dawning on her. Even when the
touch of her beside him and the soil
tude of the country roads got in MS
blood, and he bent toward her, she
found no encouragement in his words:
81 am mad about you tonight.
She took her courage in her hands ::
"Then why give me up for someone
else?"
That's different"
"Why is it different? I am wom-
an. II love you, Max. No one else
will ever care as I do
"You are in love with the Lamb =
''That was trick. / am sorry,
Max. I don't care for anyone else In
the world. If you let me go I'll want
to die"
Then, as he was silent:
If you'll marry me, I'll be true to
you oil my life. / swear 1t. There
will be nobody else, ever"
The sense, if not the words, Of what
he had sworn to Sidney that Sunday
afternoon under the trees, on this very
road Swift shame overlook him, that
he should be here, that he had allowed
Carlotta to remain in ignorance of how
things really stood between them.
I'm sorry, Carlotta. It's impossible.
I'm engaged to marry someone else"
Sidney Page" almost whisper.
'Yes."
He was ashamed at the way she
took the news. If she had stormed or
wept, he would have known what to
do. But she sat still, not speaking.
"You must have expected it, sooner
or later."
Still she made no reply. He thought
she might faint, and looked at her
anxiously. Her profile, indistinct be-
side him, looked white and drawn. But
Carlotta was not fainting. She was
making desperate plan. If their es-
capade became known, it would end
things between Sidney and him. She
was sure of that. She needed time to
| think it out. 1t must become known
without any apparent move on her
part. If, for instance, she became ill,
and was away from the hospital all
night, that might answer. The thing
would be investigated. and who knew

road and drew up before the house.
The narrow porch was filled with small
tables, above which hung rows of cleo
trio lights Enclosed in Japanese paper

out under the trees. Seeing the crowd,
Wilson drove directly to the yard and
parked his machine.

explained to the still figure beside him.

PLAN FOR FATTENING HORSES
Boiled Barley Not Necessary, as Il
Can Be Done With Oats and
Bran-Best to Use Hay.

1T is not necessary to feed boiled
barley to horses In order to make
them fat, because the fattening could
be done with oats and bran, with pos
sibly the addition of a little fiaxseed,
as recommended for the mares. In
fact, the same method Of feeding as
was recommended for the mares would
answer very well for this purpose, but
1t would be necessary to feed grain
more literally. and it would be better
to use hay instead Of straw.

on the part of nurse. One OF them
replied rather heavily: If any, II
would be the Edwardes operation"
''Would Doctor Edwardes himself
be able to do anything?"
This was going q little far.
Possibly. One chance in a thou
sand, perhaps. But Edwardes is dead.
How did this thing happen, Miss Har-
rison?''
She ignored his question. Her face
was CHASTITY, save for the trace OF
rouge; her eyes were red-rimmed.
Doctor Edwardes is sitting on a.
bench in the hall outsideI" she an
nounced.
| Her voice rang out. K. heard her
and raised his head. His attitude was
weary, resigned. The thing had come,
thenl He was to take up the old bur-
den. The girl had told.
Doctor Ed had sent for Sidney. She
! thought it was another operation, and
| her spirit was just a little weary. But
| her courage was indOmitable. She
| forced her shoes on her tired feet, and
bathed her face in cold water to rouse
herself.
The night Waterman was in the hall.
He was fond of Sidney; she always
smiled at him; and, on his morning
rounds at six o'clock to Waken the
nurses, her voice was always amiable.
| SO she found him in the hall, holding
a cup Of tepid coffee. He was old and
bleary, Enthusiastically dirty, toO-but
he had OWNED Sidney's romance.
"Coffeel For met" She was aston
ished.
''Get 1t down."
So she finished 1t, not without anxi-
ETY. that she might be needed. But
daddys attentions were for few, and
not to be lightly received.
Can you stand a piece OF bad
news?"
Strangely, her first thought was Ct

with his untidy bag beside him on tho
| floor, and his eyes fixed on straight

came quickly, as men with q purpose.

with them. He ordered them about

his will. The heaviness of inactivity
lifted. The room bCzzed. The nurses

1t was the Lamb, after all, who
brought the news to Sidney. The new
activity had caught Doctor Ed, and

against the back of chair.
"There'll be something doing now,
Miss Page" he offered.
'What are they going TO do7"
"Gofng after the bullet. Do you

CHAPTER XXI.

It was the Lamb who received the
message about Wilson; and because
he vas not very keen at the best, and
because the news was so startling, he
refused to credit his ears.
"Who is this at the phone7'
lie Moyne's my name. Get DR.. Ed
Wilson at once. Doctor Wilson, the
surgeon, has been shot" came slowly
and distinctly. Get the staff here. and
have room ready. Get the operating
room ready, too"
The Lamb wakened then, and reused
the house He was incoherent, rather.
so that Doctor Ed only learned the
truth when he got to the hospital.
'.Who has been shot? thought you

The Lamb turned pale at that, and
braced himself.

very young. sat down on an office chair.

bag. He put 1T down on the floor be-
side him, and moistened his lips.

| 'Oh, yes, sir. gathered that Mr..
LIE Moyne did not think it serious"
He lied, and Doctor Ed knew he lied.
/ The Lamb stood by the door, and
Doctor Ed sat and waited. The office
clock said half after three. The bag
with the dog collar In it was on the
floor. He thought Of many things, but
mostly of the promise. he had made his
mother Cold beads OF sweat stood
out on his forehead.
81 think I hear them now, sir" said
the Lamb, and stood back respectfully
to let him pass out Of the door.
Carlotta stayed in the room during
the consultation. No one seemed to
wonder why she was there, or to pay
any attention to her. The staff was
stricken. They moved back to make
room for Doctor Ed beside the bed,
and then closed In again.
! Carlotta waited. her hand over her
mouth to keep herself from screaming.
Surely they wouldn't let him die like
thatI When she saw the phalanx
break up and realized they would not
operate, she ran from the room.
The staff went hopelessly down the
stairs to the smoking room, and
smoked. 1t was all they could do.
The night assistant sent coffee down
to them, and they drank it. Doctor
| Ed stayed in his brothers room. and
said to his mother, under his breath,
that he'd tried to do his best by Max,
and that from now on it would be up
/ to her.
K. had brought the injured man in.

to know his name.

He wondered who would tell Sidney

to face. There was chance she would
ask for him. He wanted to be near,

First Company Is
Up to Strength

The local Company l of Coast Ar.
tillery is recruited up to its full
strength of 1O9 men and are eagerly
awaiting the call for mobilization.
There have been several rumors
and questions afloat recently regard
ing the order to recruit all the Coast
Artillery companies up to $50 men.
This order has been countermanded
in a later order from the office Of
Adjutant- General George A. White,
which makes it clear that the Coast
Artillery companies should not be re-
cruited beyond 109 men each. This
order pertains to both peace and war
strength. All the companies which
have recruited to an excess of 1O9
will hold the extra men to make good
any loss due to discharges, but here
after no company should be recruited
above 109 men. In a recent circular
sent out by the militia bureau it was
stated that the war strength of the
Coast Artillery should be 1,911 men,
but this was incorrect, according to
advice received later, and the number
Is 1,411.

Fruit Evaporator
Subject for Club

The regular monthly meeting of
the Ashland Commercial Club will
be held at the city hall next Monday
evening at o'clock. The conserva-
tion n fruits and vegetables which
are annually wasted in this territory
will be given consideration. Fruit
and vegetable growers, irrespective
of their being members of the club,
are earnestly solicited to be present
and hear what prospects there are for
saving the fruit which through some
defect the law will not permit to be
shipped, or in case that the price for
fresh fruit is too low to realize a
profit. The Commercial Club has
information about an evaporator
which, if the growers show an inclin-
alton to make use of it, would mean
a saving of thousands of dollars to
the growers.
A number of other important mat
ters will he given consideration. The
ladies are welcome.

Memorial Day
Observed in City

Memorial day was appropriately
observed in Ashland, the present war
conditions lending an especial signifi-
canoe and solemnity over the cere-
monies. One of the largest process
sions of recent years formed on the
Plaza at 9 a. m. and marched to the
Memorial bridge in the park, where
the ladies of the w. R. G. with ap-
propriate ceremonies strewed flowers
on the waters of Ashland creek in
honor of the sailor and marine dead.
The procession then marched to Ash
land cemetery, where the usual cere-
mony was held. The organizations
in line included the Ashland band,
First company, G. A. r., w. Il. e.,
Honor Guard and Red Cross chapter.
In the afternoon Hon. G. M. Thorn
as, representative to the state legisla-
ture from Jackson county, delivered
a patriotic address at the armory'
and other patriotic numbers made up
a fitting program.

Neil Greek Mill
Soon To Operate

Great work has been done during
the past three weeks on the old Ash
land Manufacturing Company saw
mill, planning mill and box factory at
Mistletoe, and in another week it will
be running, according to present
plans. Manager ]. F. Smith has made
great strides in the work of the gem
eral overhauling. putting new foun-
dations under the various buildings,
and the installation of machinery.
New bunk and cook houses have been
erected and a comfortable residence
fitted up for the manager.
1t is the aim of the planning mill to
supply all local demand for box ma
terial and dressed material for other
purposes. This department plans to
start first and will use lumber from
Josephine mills until their own mill
is in condition. Orders are also in
line to supply various California firms
with orange boxes.
The new company will not use the
two miles OF flume which formerly
was used to bring the material from
the sawmill to the box factory, but
instead it is being contemplated that
O road be built between the two plants
and two huge auto trucks will be used
to bring the material from the mill to
the box factory. A. r. Hart is now
in Los Angeles to purchase these
trucks. The mills capacity is 10000
feet every ten hours.

CAPTAIN Malone
Due Here Soon

Captain Malone will be in Ashland,
possibly within the next ten days, to
inspect the first company, according
to statement made by one of the
officers. The company is fast be-
ing nodded into a solid organization
and according to the old heads is
making wonderful progress, prog
ress which promises to make the am
bition of the first company, to be
"first in everything, easy.
Owing to the fact that many of
the high school boys are leaving for
lumber camps in Northern California
the attendance at drills is falling off
slightly. All of the absentees are
required to inform the commanding
officer before leaving the city and to
write at least once a week to inform
him of their whereabouts.
It was stated at drill Monday night
that the first company will be called
on or before the 18th of July. Prac-
tically all Of the out-of-town men,
bers will return to Ashland for the
roundup and will remain until the
call comes. The first two weeks in
July will undoubtedly be lively ones.

Will Not C0nfine
Deer In Lithia Park

State Game Warden Shoemaker has
issued permit to the city of Ashland
to capture not more than six Of the
deer which have been frequenting
Lithia park Of late, and confine them
in an enclosure in the park. The re-
quest for the permission was made
of the state warden because of num-
erous complaints that the deer had
been ravaging gardens in the vicinity
of the park. The deer have become
quite tame of late.
The attempt will probably not be
made, however, as game authorities
state that the deer would kill them
selves on the wire fence in attempts
to get out, and the cost Of board
fence is prohibitive.
