leaping. His very soul bled and he
dropped to his knees, his arm thrown
across that bundle of wreckage which
had been his choice among the worlds
beauties.
He was soon dragged from his COM
munion with his once-more uncon-
scious bride by the young doctor, who
lifted him up with the Impractical
diplomacy of internes and led him
aside, grumbling: "Say, what you try
ing to do2 Kill her? She's weak and
her hearts 1uttering. Cheer her up
If you can. If you can't, you can't
stay. Better not stay. anyway"
Bayard apologized cravenly and
promised better behavior, and was
permitted to steal back to Leila. He
took her one unchanged hand; it was
as beautiful as the severed hand Of a
Greek statue, and as marblish white
and cold.
The inferno led him at length out
into the corridor. And now Bayard
remembered that he had also a sister,
an only sister, In this same tavern of
pain. His heart went out to her. He
remembered, too, that they had a ia
Their and q mother to tell or deceive.
The inferno assured him that
Daphne's injuries were slight. She
looked sad enough when he peered In
at her, though she was far from the
dreary estate of Leila. She was
asleep, but she woke at the sound Of
his step, and, turning her head with
effort, opened her eyes and smiled at
him feebly and whispered his name,
and beckoned to him with one weak
finger.
Daphne's heart ached out to him;
she Rugged him as hard as her weak
arms would let her. She searched her
mind for comfort. She could think of
nothing SO comforting just now as
hearty, reassuring lie. She whispered:
'It's all my fault, honey. You see,
Mr.. Wetherell was taking me out for
ride. I met Leila. She told me you
telephoned you weren't coming home
for dinner. She looked so lonely that
I asked her to come along and chap
eron us. I'm to blame for 1t all. Can
you ever forgive meT
He was so grateful, so eager to be
deceived, that he forgot her state and
clenched her hand hard and kissed 1t
in gratitude for a priceless boon. The
nurse, returning, saw the deed and
smiled, not knowing what joy Bayard
was taking in absolving Leila Of sus-
picion and loading himself with blame.
At such time we love to bow our
own heads in shame and cast ashes
upon our hair. The taste Of ashes in
the mouth is good at such time.
Daphne's first visitor after Bayard
was Mrs. Chivvis.
ooh, my dear" she murmured. II
read in the papers about your misfor-
tune. Such a night as had spent
was so afraid for you! And to think
that you were lying here in such painl
And l might have helped you"
Daphne smiled, and they clasped
hands like the two splendid little bust
ness women they were.

"No, indeed. With you here?"

CHAPTER XIV.

Underneath the machine lay the
relics of Wetherell, who would suffer
no more here. Close by was Daphne
Kip, whom a brief Inconsistencies
give short furlough from torture.
She was not alive enough to be afraid
Of the long, lean flames about the
gasoline tank, though they kept
springing at her like wolfhounds held
in q weakening leash. They had not
yet quite reached her. but they missed
her less and less.

it turned over. And then the gasoline

caught fire.

MOUNT HOOD LOOP GETS OUR MONEY.

given immediate attention Once the boards are cleared
OF these improvements the commission will take up the
federal cooperation and among the first will be decision
regarding the Mount Hood loop to which the commission
has been committed for more than year--Oregonian
This paragraph is taken from the report of yeSter-
days highway commission in Portland 1t shows that the
tourist road system is to be pushed by the treasury raid
of that city, regardless of the fact that they protest
loudly they do not want cent of the highway funds
AS matter of fact the biggest part of the $6OOOOOO
road bond issue OF two years ago spent for the bene
ft of Portland--upon the Columbia river highway con-
Meeting with the Mutnomah county pavement east and
west, and twentymile spur from the Portland pave
ment out to Newburg All the time this S. 100000 bond
bill was pending in the legislature the Portland deega-
ton was protesting that the big city would not ask for
dollar of it: then they took the biggest part of it.
Now history promises to be repeated The Mount
Hood loop is purely scenic and tourist road connecting
with Portlands Columbia highway system 1t will have
no bearing upon the development of the state and be of
no value to the farmer businessman To spend state
road money upon it when much road work of value to
the state is needed is little less than crime and safe
to say that the bigger part of state money will go
into this scheme unless the people of Oregon get together
and make such forcbe demand for their right to have
the money they pay in road taxes expended for the bene
lit OF all the people, that the commission will be forced
to listen to them.
During the session of the legislature the Capital
journal sought to have the roads to be improved by the
designated before the $1000000 bond issue
was passed The attempt futile because the disor
ganzed mob that designated as the legislature this
year seemed to imagine the people had sent them there
for the sole purpose of burning up money and levyng
taxes to meet the deficiencies caused by their extra
vagance
Portland will get its Mount Hood loop for the benefit
Of visiting tourists and the roads the people who live in
the state want will have to wait while millions are ex
pended elsewhere.

be too bad the greater part of mankind had been made
SO restless by these restless years that they could only feel
at ease by burning cities?
How shall we easily turn from those hills and places

see simply those little beneficen things Of
which the happiness of men and children was made in the
days before the artillery altered the shapes of the hls?"
Lord Dusany has put his finger on the very actual
state Of affairs There hardly anyone not conscious of
deep inward excitement which makes it fairly impossible
to turn more to the "little benefcent things
But after all that is exactly what the world needs
right now than anything else The spirit which
could only feel at by burning cities must be held in
firm control while the great questions before the world
are being settled The homes there are which care

possible for friends ito sit by the fire and eat apples

into the war because our international
rights were assailed. To win the war
the president was given unusual power
and no complaint came from the people.
10 win the war was the watchword.
Now that the war is over VIC want con
gress and the president to give the peo-
pie back the rights and privileges they
had before war declared. We were not
fighting for any change in our govern
ment but to uphold our rights.
We believe now that before this
country enters into any covenant with
