CHAPTER ~.
~The O'Reiliy."

Age and easy living had caused Don
Mario de Castano. the sugar merchant.
to take on weight. He had. In truth.
become SO fat that he waddled like q
penguin when he walked; and when he
rode. the springs OF his French VIC
toria give up In despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac-
tical and unrcmantic: he boasted that
he had never had an Illusion. never an
interest outside Of his business. And
yet. on the day this story opens. this
prosaic parsonage. In spite of his bulg-
Ing wafstband and his taut neckband.
In spite Of his short breath and his
prickly heat. was In . very whirl OF
pleasurable excitement. Don Mario. In
fact. suffered the greatest Of all illu-
sions: he was in love. and ne believed
himself beloved. The object Of his
alteration was little Rosa varona. the
daughter Of his one-time friend Este
ban. To be sure. he had met Ross only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough :
with prompt declsion he had resolved
to do her the honor Of making her his
wife.

From an article In the Union Signal
by Mrs. Elizabeth Preston A.aerson,
president North Dakota w. G. T.
o. we quote the following paragraphs
"while North Dakota IL an agricul-
tural and not . manufacturing state.
yet according to the United States
census for 1910 the average number OF
wageearners Increased In ten years
los per cent The value Of goods pro-
duced increased in the same time 205
per cent. The value Of farm products
increased during the same decade 211
per cent; the value Of live stock 155
per cent; the value Of crops 234 per
cent. This percentage Of increase was
not exceeded by any other state In the
Union. During tie year 1913 this state
led every state In railroad construc-
tion."
The tax on $1,000 Of actual value
In 1913 was 90 cents. The same year
in Minnesota the tax on $1,000 OF ac-
tual value was $2.12; Montana. $1.20,
Idaho. S1.61; Iowa. s2.45; Nebraska
s1.25; Michigan. S2.5; Indiana. $4.00."
"The agricultural wealth Of North
Dakota exceeds the agricultural wealth
Of the six New England states COM
bined, and, with the exception Of Tex
as, exceeds In value any Of the is
Southern states. all Of which, except
Delaware and Florida, have more than
three times North Dakcta's popula-
ton. The total wealth cf the state In
creased from 1887 .OO6.5O6 In 1890. to-
1.973. .616,54O in 1917. Under prohibi-
tion the state has multiplied Its wealth
nearly six times"
North Dakota has a bank for every
767 Inhabitants. In Is years. from
1898 70 1918, the bank deposits ",
creased more than LOO pei Cent. No
state In the Union exceeded this per-
centage Of increase. The per capita
bank deposit In 1913 was $13S. In
1917. according to figures compiled by
the state commissioner Of agriculture.
and labor. It was $235.95. Has any r.
cense state nearly doubled its per cap
ita bank deposit In four yearsf The
per capita wealth IN 1917 was s2,se1.
Eighty per cent Of the people Of the
state own their homes"
"North Dakota has The largest num-
Der Of consolidated schools Of any
state In the Union. These give the
children In rural districts the advan--
tage of grade and high schools. An
amount exceeding $5.00O.O00 Is ex-
pended on the common schools Of the
state every year. The state has a per-
petual endowment fund for schools
and institutions of $84.OOO,OO0. North
Dakota boasts the lowest juvenile de-
linQency rate of any state"

"A DAUGHTER OF THE GODS" INSPIRES
NOTED PLAYWRIGHT TO RHAPSODY

Jack Lat, novelist, dramatist and
poet, enchanted by William Fox's
million dollar "a Daughter of the
Gods" calls it a shower of beautiful
miracles.
What have you done, William
Fox?"
You have rifed the storehouse of
Fairyland and the Realm of Myths.
"You have photographed upon
man-made strips of film the ephem-
eral fancies of the dreamers of
Greece, and the children's poets, and
Elysian romancers drowsy with the
peoples Of opalescent Orient at twi-
light.
You have taken a woman of bone
and blood and brought her back a
demi-gOddess. You have unveiled
the fearsome harem where no man
may lntrude and live. You have done
more than that-you have revealed
the escaping of the enslayed soul,
which never the sight of man had
hoped to behold. You have made of
a child of earth divinity. You have
visualized forbidden mysteries; you
have actualized the fantastic crea-

who was killed few hours before.
Haynes, Ezra and Naomi Walden are
all anxious to secure the control of
the Walden War Works and Haynes,
who was betrOthed to Pearl shortly
before her fathers death, pleads for
a speedy marriage. This does not
agree with Pearls wishes. As the
investigation is going on, the masked
kidnapper returns and as he is about
to shoot Pearl, is shot by Gresham.
AS he is dying, this man says he was

GIDDINGS OPPOSES
GERMAN BOYCOTT
Reparation, Not War Inden,-
nifty, Urged in Terms.

An organized commercial boycott Of
Germany would be a mistake from every
point of view. according to Franklin
H. Giddings, professor of sociology and
the history of civilization at Columbia
University.
THE Allies should neither try to pre-
vent nor 10 control the natural falling
away of German trade due to resentment
against that country" said Prof. Gid
dings yesterday.
mo attempt should be made to estab-
fish general boycott against Germany.
The future of German commerce should
be permitted to work itself out through
individual tendencies and without or
ganized restraint"
In speaking of the bill OF damages
which the Allies should bring against
Germany at the peace conference Prof
Giddings said that no punitive indemnity
should be exacted, but Germany should
be compelled to make as nearly as pos
sible complete reparation OF the dam
ages she has caused in Belgium, France
Serbia and Poland.
Prof G!ddings believes the best way
OF exacting this reparation from Ger
many is by excluding her from the
league of peace, which is certain to be
formed at the conclusion Of the peace
conference, until she has made complete
financial restitution to the nations she
has deepoiled.
This should not be done IN a vim
dictive way, but the Powers should re-
lentlessly hold Germany to her RESPONSE
bilities until the last cent has been paid.
They should insist upon Justice. but not
upon mere vindictive punishment"
