CHAPTER Xxx.
Anticlimax.

II was out of the limbo Of the IN
foreseeable that the blind instrument
Of Fate appeared to tell Rodney about
Rose. He was country lawyer from
down-state. who had been in Chicago
three or four days, spending an hour
or two OF every day in Rodney's office
in consultation with him, and, for the
rest of the time, dangling about. more
or less at a loose end. A belated
sense Of this struck Rodney at the end
Of their last consultation.
"rm sorry I haven't been able to do
MORE" Rodney said-"do anything,
really. in the way Of showing you a
good time As a matter Of fact, I've
spent every evening this week here in
the Office"
'Oh. / haven't lacked for entertain
ment," the man said. 1--WE hayseeds

went to see show just last night

pose you've seen It"
mo" said Rodney, ri haven't"
"Well, 1t was downright funny. l
haven't laughed so hard in year. If
you want a real good time. you go to
see It,"
The last part Of this conversation
took place In the outer Office. Rodney
saw the man off with a final hand
shake. closed the door after him. and
strolled irresolutely back toward Miss
Beach's desk.
It was true. he'd been taking 1t on
rather recklcssly during the past two
months. But they'd been pretty
sterile, those long. solitary evening
hours. He'd worked fitfully. grinding
away by brute strength for a while.
and then, in q frenzy Of Impotence.
thrusting the legal rubbish out of the
way and letting the enigma of his
great failure usurp his mind and his
memories.
Telephone over to the University
club" he said suddenly to Miss Beach
"and see II you can get me q seat for
The Girl Upstairs"
The Office boy was out on on errand
and in his absence the switchboard
was In Miss Beach's care. She arose
obediently and moved over to the
switchboard, then began fumbline
with the directory.
"why. Miss Beach," said Rodney
"You know the number Of the Univer
sity club"
He was looking at her now with un
disguised curiosity. She was acting
for a perfectly infnllible machine like
Miss Beach. almost queer. Without
looking around Mt him, she said: 'Mr
Aldrich. you won't like that show. II
you go. you'll be sorry"
While he was still staring at her
young Craig came bursting .blithely
out Of S,s Office. "Oh, Miss Beach y
he said. and then stopped short. see
ing that something had happened.

want me to see The Girl Upstairs.
She says I won't like It. Do you agre<

A fare Of red came into the boy's
face, and his Jaw dropped. Then. Al
well as he could, he pulled himself

AMERICAN CARS IN DEMAND
Countries Which Are Not in War Zone
Must Buy in Our Market-No
Other Source Of Supply.

Limits have been predicted for the
automobile business, but, like the far
horizon, the limits recede as time goes
on, says Boston Globe. Predictions that
the business will cease to expand and
commerce to shrink remain unfulfilled.
Large concerns for the manufacture OF
cars constantly prepare for increased
production.
Besides the domestic demand. which
Is still unsatisfied, the demand from
abroad is insistent. Countries which
are not in the war must buy In our
market. No other source of supply. suf-
ficient to meet the requirements Of
neutral nations, is to be found outside
of the war zone. The fighting nations
must buy, If they are not blOckaded.
for their machine shops are busy
manufacturing munitions. When the
war is at an end the demand will re-
main. The United States is the only
nation which produces automobiles In
sufficient quantities to make them
cheap.
The manufacturers of motor cars In
this country have been through some
rather trying times since the war start
ed. This is particularly true of the
past year, in which materials and sup
plies have been difficult to obtain
Economies. TO which this new business
has not been accustomed, have been
forced upon the producers. The result
has been for their benefit. In cases
where prices have risen the rise was
preceded by scrutiny OF the cost OF
manufacture in every detail. Methods
of saving expense have been intro
duced. The eAtravagances character
istic of a mushroom business growth
have been discovered and plucked. The
result is that the business is now in
condition to meet demands and COM
petition as it has never been before.

MODERN WAR HORSE USED By U. s. ARMY.

needed by those in the United States
1t is estimated that the United
States army will need 350,O0O,OO0 gal
Ions of gasoline for airplanes. trucks,
tractors, and other machines. To OBJ
tain part at least Of this amount II
has been suggested that the man who
rides for pleasure should cut down his
mileage. since half the gasoline used
in this country. 1.25O.OOO,OOO gallons.
is used in pleasure riding. By econo-
mical use enough gasoline can be saved
to supply not only the United States
but its allies for war purposes.
Motor car owners are not advised to
lay up their cars but to use them either
for trade or pleasure purposes thought
fully and judiciously. If this advice is
followed, there will be no undue scare
ity, says Mr.. Manning. for the United
States possesses an abundant supply
for ordinary purposes.

well enough what had happened. But
il was all right. She was going on as
IL nothing had happened.
The other man was Jimmy Wallace
himself. He released. too, little sigh
of relief when he saw her off in her
stride again after that momentary
falter. But he hardly looked at the
stage after that; stared absently at
his program instead. and presently
availed himself Of the dramatic crit
les license and left the theater.
As for Rose herself. in her conscious
thoughts she didn't recognize the hope
already beating unanimously in her
veins. that he would tell Rodney-that
perhaps even before she got back to
her dismal little room. Rodney. pacing
his. would know.
1t was so irrational a hope-so un-
expected and SO well disguised-that
she mistook 1t for fear. But fear never
made ones heart glow like that.

Of poor car performance, by SO in

OHIO PASSES DRASTIC LAWS

The most important Of the laws
passed by the last Ohio legislature is
that permitting the courts to revoke
licenses OF owners who have violated
speed laws. failed to stop after an nc-
cide1t or operated a motor vehicle
while intoxicated. For the second Of
Tense the courts can revoke licenses
for a period not to exceed two years.
This is the most drastic provision
against iawless drivers that was ever
enacted in the Buckeye state and is
now effective.

all through jellously, say the police
authorities. Paalani and his wife liv-
ed at lie and were we'll known. 1t is
reported that there have been many
rows in the past. but that the trouble
always blew over after a while. How
ever, the end came on Monday after
noon las. when the man first shot bic
wife and then, thinking that she was
dead, blew out his brains. The woman
may recover.
The first known CT the affair was
when the shot rang out and the woman
was heard to scream. Neighbors rush
ed into the house and there discovered
the man dead on the floor and the
woman, evidently dying, lying near
him. Paalani was dead and death
must have come instantly as the bull
let crashed into the brains.
The deputy sheriff at kona was at
once notified and he took charge Of
the case. Sheriff Pua in Hilo was
told Of the tragedy over the telephone
and he issued instructions to his de-
puty.
The woman, at latest, was said to
have a chance of recovering. The bull
let struck her in the shoulder. The
doctor who was summoned declared
that the would-be murderer had died
instantly from the wound he infected
on himself.
Paalani was a Hawaiian and his
wife is a Portuguese woman. The
husband was Ct very jealous dispo-
sition and he had evidently gone tenn
porarily insane. before he committed
the gaStly crime.
