CHAPTER LGXI.


The next morning, recalling that he
had made an engagement to take Mollie
to dinner that night, SO filling his
evening, Brian wrote Ruth short note
as well as replying to her wire. Then
he went about his office duties whist
ling gayly. His duty done, he was free
to anticipate the coming Of the even
ing.
There was time when women had
no choice. They were either wives, or,
failing that, daughters. No rivalry
between business and wifehood existed.
Now Ruth, in sense, had realized that
rivalry from the time she had gone to
work for Arthur Mandel-reaiaed it
but with no slightest idea of surrender
ing either.
Wifehood and career. Why not :
She was young, strong, ambitious. She
loved Brian, she would do all in her
power to make him happy. She was in
tensely interested in her work, and
would do everything possible to make
lit a success.
She fully intended to keep a CHEEKY,
sweet home for Brian. She would not
allow her business even to creep into
her talks with him. Yet she wistfully
longcd to talk of it to him, to tell him
Of her plans. But she must force her
self to do the things HE wanted TO do,
| to talk of the things in which he was
interested. Net enly for his sake, but
for the sake Of her own happiness.

POPULATION AND CIRCULATION.

There is general belief that the population of Salem
has decreased in the past year. Many people have been
attracted to the shpyard and the drain for war service
has been especially heavy
there are fewer people in the city that fact is not
reflected in the circulation of the Daily Capital Journal
which should be pretty good barometer because no
soliciting is done in the city by this paper and prob
ably about everybody reads it. Not all subscribe for it
OF course because some people swap papers and others
borrow them or read them in public places
In the summer season the city circulation of the Cap
ta Journal drops down 200 800 daily and then grad
uay builds up during the fall and winter and in this
nectOn it is interesting to note that the circulation has
already reached high water mark and will probably make
new record during the winter This is what makes
think that the population of Salem is probably as large
ever because soliciting has been done this fall to
build up the list and the increase likely due to people
getting back home for the winter as usual Now we

or having trouble with the War Industries Board. We

cit is more than likely he is trying
to flirt with you,'' Briap's quick Jeal-
ousy immediately aroused Had he
known that it was Ruth's employer
who evinced such an interest he might
have been more careful in his remark,
which, judging from Mandel's express
sion, he had overheard.
Let him try! that's all the, good it
will do Now, Brian, tell me all about
yourself, and soon, the next table and
its occupants forgotten, Brian was tell
ing Mollie King, the sympathetic, of his
worries, and his hope of ultimate sue

Arthur Mandel caught much of what
he said, as Brian's voice was Of pene-
trating quality, even when he spoke In
d low tone. Then after a while, their
dinner finished, they rose to go. As
they passed the table where Mandel
and his guests were seated, Brian said
distinctly:

them leave. "She's pretty girl, but
the mans fool. Ruth is worth .
dozen of her," he had lately taken to
thinking of his employe as "Ruth"
altho he always addressed her punetil-
iously as "Mrs. Hackett.
During the remainder Of his stay at
the restaurant, he was the gayest ono
at the table. Surely things were hap
pening that would eventually throw
Ruth into his arms. He could afford
to wait. She was worth serving seven
years for, if necessary. And she had
refused to take a couple of days. rest
at the Springs because he, that young
fool, would be lonelyl
That night Arthur Mandel slept
soundly. Happy in the thought that he
would soon make up to Ruth for all tho
neglect Brian made her suffer.

she felt that nothing in the world was
worth very much without his, his ap'
lproval. She. was disturbed by doubts
and often by jealous thoughts. Yet
never did she allow anything of this to
affect her work. That must be done
and done to the best of her ability. II
was in the evening when she sat alone
in some lonely hotel room, that the
doubts came; that the jealous thoughts
made her unhappy.
Often she wondered if, had she been
less keen for her own independence, she
could have helped Brian to push himself
more rapidly. Always she decided, no!
if it wash t in him, she could do NO
moro than she had done. Yet always
there was Brian-alone, and-Mollie
King.
One moment Ruth would grow cold
at the possibility of losing Brian Is love,
the next wave of something very like
defiance would rush over her.
But all this was when she and Brian
were separated.
So now she wondered if he were miss.
ling her-wondered, and longed to
know. While Brian satisfied that she
would have her wire from him before
night, her letter the next morning,
closed the office early and went to
meet Mollie King.
They had decided to dine at one Of
the village restaurants, a place pat
ronized by strangers in the city as we'll
las by the villagers themselves.
Strange, it should happen that ON that
very night Arthur Mandel had con-
sented to join party at that very
restaurant for dinner He cared moth
ing for such places, but they were out
of-town business acquaintances, SO he
went along.
With the perversity of fate, they
were given table next to that al
ready occupied by Brian and Mollie.

ones with the dark hair and eyes, will
know us the next time he sees us,''
Mollie whispered to Brian. fsPerhaps

Should the Farmer Color His Butter?

Does 1t pay to color butter? Is il
harmful? Does it affect the flavor OF
the butter, and how much color should
be added? These questions are often
asked OF the dairy department of the
University OF Missouri College OF
Agriculture.
Whether or not it will pay to color
butter artiacially Is determined by
the market demands, says w. b.
Combs. The majority of the markets
In Missouri demand butter of a good
yellow color and it ia to the butter
makers advantage to cater to this
demand and try to produce butter of
uniform color the year round. This
simply means that it is necessary to
initiate the color that is naturally
round in butter in the spring OF the
year, due to the fact that the COW at
that time is getting an abundant sup
ply OF green succulent grass. During
the fall and winter months the cow
receives dry feeds and the color of
her butterfat naturally becomes light.
10 overcome this appearance of but
ter 1t is necessary to add an artificial
color. The butter colors which are
on market to'day conform to the re-
qulrements OF u r food laws nrd
are perfectly harmless. Neither dc
they affect the flavor of the butter.
Directions are generally given upon
the container as to just how much
OF the color to use. These direction,
must be followed in keeping with the

Francis Safe at Murmansk.

| Washington.-Joint action between
Japan, the Entente Powers and Amer
lea in Siberia is assured.
Japan has found acceptable the
American proposal which primarily
looks to the aid of the Czecho-Siovaks
now operating in Siberia, and after eX
changes between Toxic and Washing
ton which have cleared up all doubt
full points and removed any possible
ity OF future misunderstanding, com
piete agreement has been reached.
The plan of operation will be put into
execution at once.
Soon after it had been learned that
Japan had accepted the American pro-
posal, President Wilson walked to the
State, War and Navy building. where
he conferred for half an hour with
Acting Secretary Polk and Secretary
Baker in the War Secretary's Office.
The President will soon issue a
statement explaining the plans of the
United States for participation in the
expedition to give military aid to
Russia. 1t also was understood that
the statement would make clear that
the United States has only unselfish
motives and intends to stand firmly
beside the Russian people in their
fight for a democracy.
After the Japanese Government
-ound it necessary to call upon the
State Department for explanation of
some features of the American pro-
posal the statement was withheld.
Presumably, now that satisfactory
understanding has been reached the
statement will be issued.
Meanwhile the seal of confidence re-
mains unbroken and it is the desire of
officials that there shall be no specula-
ton in the press that might prove en-
barassing.
Consequently, all that it is possible
now to say is that in the beginning,
at least, the international agreement
must find it's expression in combined
activity and cable advices
have recorded the gathering of small
bodies of Entente troops at points in
China convenient for dispatch into
Western Siberia.
Pao kucf Ching, the provincial Gov
ernor at Sci Lung King, has been Sc
[ected to command the considerable
body of Chinese troops which have
been gathered in Manchuria, and it is
understood that already it has been
arranged that this force shall operate
