CHAPTER XIII.

Rodney Gets Clear View Of Himself.
1t was Rose herself who began this
correspondence with Rodney, within a
month of her arrival in New York.
If Rodney had done an unthinkable
thing; if he had kept copies of his let
tiers to Rose, along with her answers,
in a chronological file, he would have
made the discovery that the stiffness
of those letters had gradually worn
away and that they were now a good
deal more than mere pro forma bulle-
tins. There had crept into them, so
subtly and so gently that between one
of them and the next no striking diff
ference was to be observed, a friend
Illness, quite cool. but wonderfully firm.
She was frankly jubilant over the sue
cess of her costumes in "Come On In."
and she inclOsed with her letter COM
plete set of newspaper reviews of the
piece.
1t was a week later that she wrote:

Broadway yesterday afternoon, about
FIVE o'clock. He's changed, somehow.
since 1 saw him last; as brilliant as
ever, but rather-lurid. Do you sup
pose things are going badly between
him and Eleanor? He told me he hadn't
seen you forever. Why don't you drop
in on him?"
1t was quite true that Rodney had
seen very little of the Randc.phs
since Rose went away. When it came

said it."
Jimmy, meek again, attempted the
task.
"Weli," he said, 'she didn't look me
in the eye and register deep mean
ings or anything like that. l don't
know where she looked. AS far as the
infection of her voice went, it was
just as casual as If she'd been telling
me what she'd had for lunch. But the
quality of her voice just richened up
a bit. as if the words tasted good to
her. And she smiled, just barely, as
if she knew I'd be staggered and didn't
care. There you arel Now interpret

Violet's eyes were shining. "Why,
it's as plain" she said. "Can't you see
that she's just waiting for him; that
she'll come like shot the minute he
says the word? And there he is eat
ing his heart out for her, and in his
rage charging poor John perfectly ter
rife prices for his legal services, when
all he's got to do is to say please, in
order to be happy"

ENGLAND NOW CHEWING GUM mo ELEcTRoLYss IN TEETH
Filling of Two Cavities in One Tooth
With Different Metals Not Dan
qerous, 1t Is Said.

Among dentists there is a difference
of opinion as to whether the filling of
two cavities in one tooth with differ
ent metals-one with mercury ANAL
gam. one with gold, for instance-will
cause rapid decay of the tooth through
electrolytic action between the two
metals.
The matter was submitted to the edi-
tor of the Electrical Review, who re-
plies that if the amalgam is thorough
ly mixed there is no danger of electro
lysfs, but that if the mercury be not
properly incorporated in the mass,
chemical action is quite likely to fol-
low. He says that he and a dentist
experimental with voltaic piles made
of gold and amalgam, with blotters
wet with sodium chloride and later
with acetic acid, and when the ANAL
gam had been properly mixed they
were unable to measure any electro
lytic action.
When decay does follow in such
cases, he says, it is due not to electro
lytic, but to chemical action This
causes disintegration of the filling and,
Of course, as soon as this has begun
the acids of the mouth and the juices
of the food can penetrate to the I'M
projected surface of the cavity and
start further decay. And this takes
place irrespective of whether or not
gold has been used nearby.

COURTS TO DECIDE
OCONT0 RAIL CASE
STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
FILES FIRST DISSENTING
OPINION.
INJUNCTION BEING SOUGHT
Menasha Woodenware Company Seeks
Permit to Restrain construc- {
struction of Spur Track
to Logging Property.

Madison-The first dissenting opinion
to be filed by the railroad commission
was recorded recently in the case of
the Oconto company for the right to
build a spur track across property
owned by the Menasha Woodenware
company adjacent to logging property.
The question is of such Importance that
although majority of the commission
ordered the spur track constructed on
the Kingston branch of the Northwest
ern system the matter mas Deen taken
into the courts.
An order has been sought in circuit
court by the Menasha Woodenware
company for an injunction restraining
the Oconto company aud the North-l
western railroad from constructing
the spur track in question.
When the matter was given a hear,
ing Commissioner Trumbower was
against extension of the spur. So far
as the record shows this is the first
time that railroad commissioner has
filed a dissenting opinion. The Wis
consin Northern Railroad company is
also protesting against the railroad
commissions order. 1t contends that
the spur track would tap territory
covered in the proposed route of their
railroad
The whole case is so complicated
that the attorney generals Office in
Inmates it may take some time to
thresh the matter out in the courts
The Menasha company has asked for
a restraining order effective Sept. /.

SOLDIERS CANNOT BE SUED
listed in U. S. Service Are Exempt
from Civil Procedure.

Madison - Attorney General Owen
has advised Adjutant General Holway
that under the new law passed at the
last session of the Legislature, men en-
listed in the United States military
service are exempted from civil pro-
cess for a period of three years or dur
ing the term of their service, if less
received letters from a number of men
in the federal military service, enlisted
from Wisconsin, that creditors have
threatened to levy on their real and
personal property to secure payment
of debts owned by the enlisted men.
The attorney general advised that no
civil action can be brought against the
Wisconsin men in the military service
during the three-year period or the
service prescribed in the new law.
One soldier wrote saying that he had
bought home under land contract,
and was unable to meet payments in
full and the man whom he bought the
pro- cry threatened to take the proper
ty away from him in accordance with
the terms of the contract.
Another soldier wrote saying that he
had given mortgage on some real es-
tate which he owned and was unable
to make the payments stipulated in
the contract and that the party own
ing the mortgage threatened to fore
close and have the land sold for the
payment of the mortgage. The attor-
ney general said that such civil ac-
lions could not be maintained against
Wisconsin men in the military service.

STATE CARES FOR 1888.
Wisconsin Wards Number 1885 Males
and 4,55S Females = Many Pa
tients Are on Parole.

Madison-The population report of
the state and county public institu-
lions just issued shows that there are
1888 persons under public care in
the state of which 1885 are males and
1858 are females. Besides these there
are 3.0S6 persons on parole. Up
wards of 1000 patients are on parole
from the insane institutions of the
state.
The report shows that there are
S,09S insane patients in the state I'M
der public care. OF this number, g.
1874 are in the county hospitals for the
insane, 104 in the Central hospital for
the insane at Waupun, 1927 in the two
state hospitals for the insane and 513
in the Milwaukee hospital for the in
sane.
There are 702 patients in the state
receiving treatment for tuberculosis
in public institutions. OF this number
495 are being cared for in county san
atoria, 81 in the Tomahawk lake camp

GUARDSMEN MAY GO SEPT. is
Wisconsin Troops Preparing to Depart
for Fort Mac Arthur, Texas.
Awaiting Official Order.

Camp Douglas = That Wisconsin
guardsmen on the state military reser-
walton here will entrain for Fort Mac
Arthur, the Waco, Texas, contonment,
on Saturday, Sept. Is, is the rumor
that is going the rounds although as
yet no official statement has been
made that gives backing to the story.
The fact that railroad congestion
has made difficult the movement of
troops in every section of the country
is more than likely to delay the de-
parture for the south although it is
said that the Waco cantonment prac-
tically is completed and ready for the
troops occupation.
1t is said that when the order to
move is given, one regiment will en-
train at time. AS result of confer
ences it is estimated that it will take
about $50 cars to transport the troops
including 500 passenger cars, 100 bag
gage cars and some 200 freight cars.
The run to Waco takes seventy-five
hours from Milwaukee.

Wisdom of the Ancients.

Three thousand five hundred years
before Christ great teacher of morals
lived in Egypt, and under the title of
1.-THE Instructions of Ptah-Hotep"
there is preserved wise counsel as to
our duty one to another.
Let thy face be bright what time
thou Invest, he said, according to an
exchange. He that causeth strife
eometh himself TO sorrow. 1t is
mans kindly acts that are remem-
bered of him in the years after his
life. Quarreling in place of friendship
is a foolish thing. Exalt not thy heart
that it be not brought low. He that
is just flourisheth; truth goeth in his
footsteps. and he maketh habitations
not in the dwellings of covetousneSs.

FINDS MANS BODY IN BRUSH
Boy Attracted by Bark of Dog Comes
Across Corpse of Stranger by !
Roadside-May Be Murder.

Hartford - The finding of a mans
body in a clump of bushes beside the
road leading to Pike Lake, near this
city, has aroused the sheriff's Office to
thorough investigation.
The body was discovered by a boy.
attracted to the spot by the barking
of his dog, and had evidently lain there
several weeks. A large hole on the
left side of the skull told of violence.
Outside of coat, shoes and hat the
body was completely clothed.
A pair of automobile goggles was
found hanging on bush just above the
body and leads the police to believe
that the man was murdered elsewhere
and carried to the deserted spot.
There was nothing in the pockets
but handkerchief bearing the initial
IN" and pearl handled knife.
No definite clew has been developed,
according to Sheriff Frank Schoen-
deck.
