She hesitated. He saw a quick
frown gather her brows. Then,
speaking lightly, she replied, saying !:
NO. But come; you must be hun

He went with her to the broad-open
doors.
Tore is here?" he asked, his eyes
intent upon her face.
The frown came again, and was
gone quickly. But he had seen it.
HE is here, yes. Asleep, 1 think.
He was wounded. You know?"
He is not badly hurt?"
Her tired eyes, into which sleep had
not come during the long night, grew
brightly contemptuous.

harmed" she said swiftly.

which was in some strange way vague
ly insulting; it was as though he were
the master here, and because of his
generosity not only Stairway but the
girl as well were allowed upon the
premises.
Now it was Teresa who flushed.

Then the Spaniard, bowling again,
turned away, with a slight smile play
ing under the small, pointed mustache,
and Stairway followed his hostess.

serving of the simple breakfast.
"Senorita," Stairway said at last,

SWIMMING CHAMPION in POLITICS

Duke Kahanamoku, worlds aquatic
champ, has dived into the pool of poll
tics over on his native shores of Ha-
waii and is rapidly converting his ia
nous "craw" into the stroke of states

The duke SHE'D his bath robe into

fellow Republicans on the island they
said: "Fine! Poland has pianist for

Then, calling sharply to Gaucho Mo-

"You understand what we're doing,

ROCkEFELLER'S EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY

John D. Rockefeller celebrated his
eigthtieth birthday the other day at
his Pocantico Hills estate and then
went to Seal Harbor, Me. Replying to
the Fluctuations of his guests on his
long life, Mr.. Rockefeller said: Il
hope you will all live to be not only
eighty years old, but ninety or one
hundred, for have just begAA to
live."
Mr.. Rockefeller has an ambition
to live to be one hundred years of age
and then really begin living. Ger
tain men who lived to reach the century
mark in good condition mentally and
physically have held that they had to
live till ninety to realize that the
world was beautiful. Certainly after
eighty a man should be entitled to rest
and take things easy, without self-re-
proach for laZiness. Mr.. Rockefeller
takes a little olive oil each day, plays
golf and refuses to worry. He need
not worry about the high cost of living,

that Great Britain will furnish the

Macadam Main Street

Once more the city has had a
reminder of the fact that it is
time for the main street Of the
town TO be put i'll some kind OF
piked condition.
During the midGle agev, when
on special occasions h ,lf dozen
teams could be seen IN town, it
didl: t make any difference wheth-
er there were any streets Or not.
a. there wasn't enough travel to
work up q mud hole or slush
track-indeed less travel in a
whole months time than there is
now in one day.
We believe this main street
should be made such as to make
it attractive, and to invite pep
| pie to come here to trade; and
the same of all other town i'm
provements.
What would it cost? If Lamar
and Syracuse and Elkhart car
hard-finish several miles of road
through the sand-to which
there is no bottom, we are very
certain Springfield can treat theil
main street in the same way.
We haven't made any estimate
of the cost. but we do know thai
