CHAPTER XLvII.

The car, as though pursued by the
consciousness of some guilty deed,
turned and twisted through tortuous
roads. throwing its searching glare
into the sleeping secrets Of the
woods. Ten minutes, IS minutes
had elapsed, and still they sat silent
ly side by side, each immersed in
his own thoughts. He had not
bent toward her. He had not put
forth his hand to take hers. The
silence of the night, the guilty flight
away, oppressed him-and ahead
was the waking reality of the NOR
row. His mind had been filled with
the sweeping imminence of the
great events that were impending in
the world. France, the country he
loved with crusaders alteration,
was on the brink Of a SCATTERING
war. Men whom he had known and
played at life with were turning
with hallowed eyes toward the great
secrifee, the final deed of atonement
that washes away all the selishness
and the sins of the flesh. All these
last days of July and the opening
of the bleeding month of August
he had had before his eyes the spec
tacle of the titled idlers, the play
boys of fortune, leaving their rev.
elries; the simple, faith-borne peas
ants waiting in the fields; the
crowded workmen scanning the bull
etin board; the women listening in
the night. The leaping moment
of heroic regeneration was sounding
on the bugle's call, and he, soldier
of fortune, was powerless to re-
spond, entangled in the trivialities
of an infatuation that had mastered
him. 1t had always been so.
ITS curious" he thought bitterly,
that with all people say against
me, it is l who have always yielded

County Commissioners May
Build Ice Plant for Own Use

County commissioners are con-
sidering the advisability of building
an ice plant to supply ice to the
court house, county hospital and
Riverview home. An ice plant can
be installed, they said, for about
$4,000. 1t could be operated at the
county hospital without adding to
the present force of men. A small
truck would have to be bought to
deliver daily supplies of ice to the
court house and Riverview home.
Last year the ice for these three
county institutions cost more than
$1,000.
