Brian Apologies and They Spend
Happy Evening.
CHAPTER LXvI.

painfully, 81 felt depressed, not bit
like working, so called YOU up to ask
you to go to the matinee or somewhere.
When found you ont, I started to go
alone. Then I met Mollie, so took her. =
Ruth listened to her husbands elab-
crate explanation in silence. She
couldn't help feeling glad that he had
called her up, that he had thought Of
her; yet she felt terribly embarrassed
to have him feel it necessary to explain
what he did before Mrs. Roberts.
What would she tell her husband,
Would they think Brian did not care for
her, that he was in love with Moilie,
or what would they thinkl
Never had Ruth been so glad to get
home.
Now say what you have to say

they were alone. = If you would stay
at home where You belong, instead Of
gadding about, working so that you
can do things can't afford to let
you do, we would have been together
instead Of you and Mrs, Roberts 60

SIT seems you can always afford to
take Mollie King. Ruth was goaded
into the reply. "But that isn't the
point, Brian. | was not objecting to tho

strange to our friends for you to
spend SO much time with hertz She
tried to speak calmly.

Clara said he hated to lose a half day
for pleasure. So as long as she didn 7
phone him, thought I'd better not
either. But am very sorry now that |
didn't call YOU
Brian made no reply, and their din
ner was eaten almost in silence. Al.
terward he put on his hat, saying he
would be back shortly.
Don't sit up for me. I may play
cards awhile with some friends, = he
said, standing in the open door.
| Ruth looked hlankly at the closed
door. Her first impulse was to run af-
tier him. He never had deliberately left
her sitting home alone hofore. O, doar-

Ithat her salary had again been raised
from him. He had been SO impossible
ever since
"'Never min, honey, yo' oil mann
lmy If wifi yo."
Throwing her arms around Rachel IS
neck Ruth, for the first time since
she had been married, gave way to
the dlscouragement she fclt she
sobbed unrestrainedly for an hour, the
old nurse grooming over her. i i,,sny
she dried hef eyes. She sat by the win
dow until after midnight, when she
too undressed and crept into bed.
She wondered who these friends
Brian had spoken Of so casually could
be, and why he had never mentioned
them before. Perhaps he was with that
Mr.. Clark, Of whom he had borrowed
money. Once she thought: ~ wonder
lif he is with Mollie King' but dis,
missed the idea as unreasonable. He
wouldn't leave her alone to spend the
evening with Mollie, even if he had
taken her to the matinee. He had only
done that out Of pique because she
wasn't at home when he called. OF
course he had taken Molhe out when she
was away, but that was different. To
do it when she was at home, anxious
and willing to be with him, either t
shome or wherever he cared to go, would
be too much like intentional neglect.
Finally she fell asleep, only to be
awakened when Brian stumbled over a
chair in the darkness.
"Do switch on the light, dear,
you II hurt yourself, = she said, sitting
I up in bed, rubbing her eyes. "What
time is itg as he followed her advice.
About two, guess
"Did you have a good timeiv
'Yes--pretty fair.
Brian did not volunteer any informa-
tion as to where he had been or who
with. Ruth longcd to ask, but re-
strained her curiosity. Brian must NOT
be made to- feel that she didn' t trust
him.
In this Ruth was wise. HE was ma.
ture that could brook no restraint
He had shown this in many ways. So
she, realizing it, had tried to keep her
self from saying or doing anything that
looked like espionage. Yet she dread
fully wanted to know where he had
been.
The next morning at breakfast, rath.
or Us they finished and Brian was
about to leave, he said shamefacedly:
"A was rotten to ask Mollie to go tc

But was sore when met her. =
That was all. But all day Ruth was

CHURCH OFFERS PANIC REMEDY
Prohibition of Prayerful Communion Is
Held to Be Mistake.

Portland, Oct 19-To the Editor
Strange indeed are the signs of the
times when in the face of the most APP
palling crisis the world has ever witness
scd, the churches of this country should
be closed. 1t is only few weeks ago
the people Of Oregon were summoned
by the governor of the state to join in
prayer for the success Of our arms. In
fact many citizens are, at noon each
day, bowing in prayer for the success
Of our cause and are being encouraged
in so doing. General Foch, the man to
whom We are all looking with conf
dence and pride, has said: "We shall
be saved by prayer" When the news
Of the defeat of the German army at
the battle Of the Marno in 1914 was
received in England, Lord Roberts said:
/" Only God Almighty could have done
Hthis!o General Kitchener reading the
dispatch said: "Someone must have
been praying"
Yet in the face of these acknowledge
ments and in the face of panic Of fear
which is being so industriously famed
into the flame of an epidemic, comes
the order to close our places Of worship
and to abandon our church services.
There is a quito general belief prevail
ing among the rank and file of our peo-
pie that in the calm and meditative at
|mosphere of our church services is to
be found, in praperful communion with
God, the most potent antidote for fear;
and. therefore, the most effective pre-
ventive of disease; for does not tho
great Book Of Books teach, "The pray
er Of faith shall save the sick9"
The Washington, D. c., Star, protest.
ing against the closing of churches at
this time, in an editorial Of October IL
has this to say:
Church assemblages are essential to
victory in the spiritual war as well as
the physical war and to conquer sin, sa-
tan and the kaiser.
The same editorial further along
says:
An integral part Of Christianity is
public worship, the collective petition
ing of the Almighty. "Whcre two or
three are gathered together in my name
there am l in the midst Of them. Are
we to forbid for long the gathering to-
gether of men and women in Christ s
name for communion with their Saviour,
to pray collectively for victory in the
war, and, for the checking Of a threat
ened epidemic, to. be delivered from
plague and pestilences
1t should be assured that church serv-
ices are short and so distributed through
the day that no service is crowded; and
that the church buildings are properly
heated and thoroughly ventilated. If
epidemic actually RACES, with these
precautions the churches should be
put on the footing of essential war
industries and Of factors which tend to
cheek and not to promote an epidemic.
Rightly used, the churches, through
Ethoir influence on the minds and souls
Of mon, can do more to win the war
even than clerk assemblages in Gov
ernment departments. Rightly used the
church will furnish minimum Of pro-
motion agency to distribute influenza
germs and maximum contribution to
destroy the panic fear in which an epi
demic lives and moves and has its being

JAPAN INTERESTS ARE NOT PRESSING
 IN SIBERIA NOW
Problem of Intervention to Be Solved Later, With a View to
 Japan's Own Interests.

TOKIO.-The German menace is not so pressing as to necessitate immediate dispatch of Japanese troops to Siberia, said Viscount Kato, in a recent address to the Constitutional Party of which he is president. "It is necessary for Japan to endeavor to conserve her national strength and this is no time for us to act precipitantly, de- clared the viscount.
 He was aware, the opposition leader said, that Japanese inter vention in Russia was advocated in some quarters on the ground that there was danger of German in- fluence spreading in the East to such an extent that German bases for submarines, airplanes and zep. pelins would be established at Vlad. ivostock. Another reason given fol intervention was that the com. munism preached by the Lenine gov, ernment in Russia was expected tc produce bad effect on Japan. Tie question of intervention, said Wis count Kato, should be solved chiefly with an eye to Japan's own inter ests and not in deference to the views of other nations.

He was speaking in acceptance of an hon. orary fellowship conferred by the college, and said:
 "This war is no half measure to us in America. We are in it whole heartedly as a country. Our neigh bor, Canada, is in as a country and we expect you also to be in as q country heart and soul, and you certainly will. I know what the Irish have already done in the war and there is no finer chapter in the worlds history.

HELD FOR FEDERAL COURT
 CHARGE 0F WHITE SLAVERY

Tn a recent issue of the Copper Era mention was made of the arrest of Jose Muella and Josepha Lacalla at 2 .Lordsburg, Mexican man and woman, who departed from Morenci a few days previous to their apprehension
 4 Jose is alleged to have alienated the affections of another's wife, and the pair departed together, desiring to get away from the irate husband of the woman. Their dream of bliss was of short duration. Both were ar rested at Lordsburg and Sheriff Slaughter brought the erring couple back to Clifton, where they were con- fined in the county jail. Both were bound over by Judge Lally of Mo renci. for further investigation, as evil dence disclosed the fact that they were guilty of violating the Mann act, as the woman admitted that the pair had occupied the same, room while so- jou1ning in the. New Mexico town At the time of the preliminary hearing, however. it was not decided that the case would be transferred to the Fed eral court. But this action was later determined, and the pair was arraign- ed before United States Commissioner Dave ing last Monday for a prelimi- nary hearing.
 The commissioner decided that the evidence was sufficient to warrant the holding of Muella for the Federal grand jury, and set his bond at $75O. In default of this bond the defendant, Muella, was remanded to the custody of Sheriff Slaughter, and still remains in the Greenlee county jail, awaiting action of the government authorities.
 Josepha Lacalla, the woman in the case, was given her liberty, and inn riediatelyl returned to Morenci, where it is supposed that she has again been taken to the bosom of her husband, from whom she recently fled to bask in the affections of her paramour.
