Gloria herself would be at Mulry's Of
fee. The stenographer was more i'm
pressed BY Lois clothes than by her
attempts to be casual In her inquiry
as to Mulry and "the papers Of poor
Mr.. Freneau." q.
The stenographer murmured to the
bookkeeper: 1.-Two swell danes camp
in on Mr.. Mulry's trail the same day |
Somethin's goin' on here that amt
gettin' into the letters he dictates
to me-"
So she did not tell Lois Of Gloria's
presence. and Lois went away In a
turmoil Of anxiety as great a. that In
GlOria's mind when she heard Lois
ask about "poor Mr.. Freneau." A
knife Of Jealousy went into Gloria's
heart and hideous intuition that her
beloved Dick might have bewitched
Lois as he had bewitched herself.
Those eyes Of his had been perhaps q
little too winning.
She rebuked herself for allowing
the suspicion even to fit through her
brain and began her note to Mulry.
Her eye fell on the letterhead. The
branch Offices of the brokerage firm
were listed In an upper corner: Al
bany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chi
cago. st. Louis. Pittsburgh. A new
suspicion stabbed Gloria. The tele-
grams and letters in Dicks writing
had been sent from just those cities
in Just that order Yet he had been
dead when they were sent.
The earliest explanation was the
true one, and Gloria guessed 1t imme-
diately. He could have sent them to
the branch offices in advance to be
sent to her in order or he could have
intrusted them to someone travelling
the round Of Offices. Her intuition
hit on the truth, without knowing 1t.
The very ease Of the trick disgusted
her. She felt herself in the shadow
Of some hateful conspiracy. She be-
gan to doubt her own memory a. to
the letters and kilograms.
Crumpling the letter she had begun
and thrustlng 1t into her handbag, she
left the Office. telling the stenographer

AEROPL Lane CANVAS
FACTORY OFFERED
Salem CO.snnaciaI Club
Makes Offer to War De-
partlnellt by Wire

Word was telegraphed to the war
department at Washington, D. c., today
by the Salem Commercial club, putting
up to the department a proposition that
would mean saving to the government
in the cost of building its aeroplanes
and also an additional factory for
Salem.
The club, through its manager, Mr..
Mcdaniel, has been looking into the
matter pretty thoroughly and has come
to the conclusion that Salem is the
logical point at which the government
should secure the canvas that will be
needed in the thousands of aeroplanes
which are to be constructed. Salem
and this section of the Willamette val
ley is the only place in the United
States outside of limited area in
New York state where can be grown
the long flax fibre required in the
manufacture of canvas.
The club has gotten in touch with
suitable factory equipment in Portland
that could be moved to this place and
erected in very short order, and the
proposition which was telegraphed to
the war department today was to the
effect that the commercial club was
ready, to guarantee to have factory
here and in operation within go days,
and would guarantee from 5000 acres
of flax up fer the next season SEN
ators McNary and Chamberlain were
requested to put the proposition up to
the war department
With the largest aero2lane factory in
the world which the government is con-
structing at Vancouver, there will be
required not only spruce with which to
construct the planes, but thousands OF
yards Of canvass. The northwest can
furnish the spruce, and the club desires
to let the government know we can
furnish the canvass, too. In view of
the fact that flax imports have been
shut off and that there is scarcity of
the world in general, the prospects are
encouraging that the war department
will give the proposition of the COM
mercial club consideration.

Motorcycle Notes

According to Secretary Of the Interior
Lane, motorcycles are hereafter to be
admitted the Yosemite National park.
This good news was made public after
months of agitation by motorcyclists all
over the country.
Heretofore the two-wheeler has not
been permitted in the park because the
park roads have been considered too
steep and dangerous for motorcycle traf-
! fie. The roads have recently been I'M
proved until now there are none OF
| them that are not safe for travel IN
any kind of conveyance, and during the
l9i7 season there has been practically
no travel in the park by horse drawn
vehicles. 1t is the secretary's desire
| to permit the freest possible use OF the
national parks to all of the people.
It is expected that from now on, and
ESPECIALLY next season, travel through
the Yosemite will be wonderfully IN
creased as a result of this new regula-
tion,
