he said.

mustn't. You mustn't be troubled. no
matter what happens"
That's easy enough to sayw he
protested; and he moved as if to rise.
Just let's stay like this a little
while, dear. Just a minute or two.
l want to tell you: Brother George
mas been here, and he told me eyery-
thing about-about how unhappy you'd
been-and how you went so calamity
to that old woman" Isabel gave a sad
little laugh. "What a terrible old
woman she is! What a really terrible
thing a vulgar old woman can be-"
Mother, l." And again he moved
to rise.
"Must you? Il seemed to me such a
comfortable way to talk. Well" She
yielded; he rose, helped her to her
feet, and pressed the light into being.
AS the room took life from the sudden
ines Of fire within the bulbs Isabel
made a deprecatory gesture, and, with
a faint laugh of apologize protest,
turned quickly away from George.
What she meant was: "You mustn't
see my face until I've made it nicer
for you." Then she turned again to
him her eyes downcast but no sign
of tears in them, and she contrived to
show him that there was the SEM
blance of a smile upon her lips. She
still wore her hat, and in her unsteady
fingers she held a white envelope,
somewhat crumpled.
snow, mother
swat, dearest" she said; and
though he stood stone cold, she lifted
her arms, put them round him again,
and pressed her cheek lightly to his.
"Oh, you do look so troubled, poor
dear! One thing you couldn't doubt,
believer boy. You know I could never
care for anything in the world as I
care for you-never, never!"
Snow, mother"
She released him and stepped back.
"Just q moment more, dearest. I want
you to read this first. W. can get at
things BETTER" She pressed into his
hand the envelope she had brought
with her, and as he opened it and be.
gan to read the long Enclosure she
walked slowly to the other end of the
room; then stood there, with her back
to him, and her head dropping n little,
until he had finished.
The sheets of paper were covered
with Eugene's handwriting.
"George Anderson will bring you
this, dear Isabel. He is waiting while

over, and before he gives this to you
he will tell you what has happened. /

because 1 have understood for quite a
long time that young George was get

Somehow, I've never been able to get

distrust Of me-or something like dis
trust-and perhaps that's made me

felt from the first that I cared a great
deal about you, and he naturally re-
scented it. I think perhaps he felt this

so careful-at least 1 thought I was

George drew a long breath. swell,

II thought it would be the simplest

thought they were right"
every well! Well agree it was SIM
pie and straightforward. Now, what
do you think Of that letter itself?"
She hesitated, looking away. "I-of
course l don't agree with him in the
way he speaks Of you, dear-except
about the angel! I don't agree with
some of the things he implies. You've
always been unsatisfactory knows
that better than your mother.
"And yet" George broke in, "you
see what he implies about me. Don't
you think, really, that this was a pref
ty insulting letter for that man to be
asking you to hand your son?"
"Oh, not" she cried. "You see how
fair he mean to be, and he didn't ask
for me to give it to you. It was brother
George who"
"Never mind that, now!, You say
he tries to be fair and yet do you sup
pose it ever occurs to him that I'm
doing my SIMPLE duty? That I'm doing
what my father would do If he were
alive? That I'm doing what my father
would ask me to do if he could speak
from his grave out yonder? Do you
suppose it ever C to that man for
one minute that I'm protecting my
mother?" George raised his voice ad-
vancing upon the helpless lady fierce
ly; and she could only bend her head
before him. "He talks about my viii
how it must be beaten down; yes,
and he asks my mother to do that lit
tie thing to please him! What for?
Why does he want me beaten by my
mother? Because I'm trying to pro-
tect her name! He's got my mothers
name banded up and down the streets
of this town till I can't step in those
streets without wondering what every
soul I meet is thinking of me and Of
my family, and now he wants you to
marry him so that every gossip in
town will say There! What did I tell
you? / guess that proves it's true!
You can't get away from it; that's ex-
actly. what they'd say, and this MAJ
pretends he cares for you, and yet
asks you to marry him and give them
the right to say it. He says he and
you don't care what they say, but I
know better! He may not care-prob-
ably he's that kind-but you do. There
never was an Anderson yet that would
let the Anderson name go trailing in
the dust like that! It's the proudest
name in this town, and it's going to
stay the %proudest; and I tell you that's
the deepest thing in my nature-not
that I'd expect Eugene Morgan to,un-
derstand-the very deepest thing in my
nature is to protect that name and to
fight for it to the last breath when
danger threatens it as it does now
through my mother!" He turned from
her striding up and down and tossing
his arms about in a tumult of gesture.
II can't believe it Of you that you'd
think of such a sacrilege! That's
what it would be-sacrilege! When he
talks about your unselishness toward
me he's right-you have been unselish
and you have been a perfect mother.

HAD NO MEETING
Two Trustees Absent. = The
Water Problem.

Owing to the absence of the
chairman and one other member,
the Rathdrum board Of trustees
held no meeting Monday night, and
the bonding ordinance and all
other business on hand goes over
until Monday, November 10.
Trustees Borell, Biemond and
Swanson were present, but were
unwilling to transact business of
importance in the absence Of their
two colleagues.
The members, clerk and citizens
present discussed the water
question informally upon propo-
sition submitted by Nels Nelson
that, in his judgment, the city
water supply could be increased TO
some extent and without great
expense by one or two springs that
might be developed at an elevation
on his place at distance OF ia little
over half mile from the city
main. Mr.. Nelson said he was at
work on an experimental irrigation
reservoir and told OF an old we'll
dug on the bench which had forty
feet of water in it for years until he
filled it in to keep his stock from
falling into it. From this and the
numerous springs he believes
plenty of water can be obtained in
these hills.
The subject Of protecting the
watershed of the present water
supply was also touched upon, with
reference to the danger Of the
timber, privately owned, being
some day stripped off leaving the
creek to 60 dry in the summer
months, as has been the experieuce
in mountains which have been de-
nuded of their natural fores,
| growth.

AUTO BUS LICENSE
Judicial Decision Upholds
Idaho Statute.

Boise, Idaho. Oct. 24.-Orders
for the arrest Of Idaho operators OF
unlicensed stage and bus lines
were issued Thursday by Robert
o. Iones, commissioners of law en-
forcement. Officials of the state
constabulary will enforce the order.
This action is Incidental to a
statewide attack on unlicensed
motor buses which has been initi-
ated by the public utilities commits
sion. The commissioner of law
enforcement was advised Thursday
that the commission considers the
recent decision of Judge Reddoch
to be conclusive as to the consti-
tutionality of the state motor bus
law. His action was the direct
result.
Similarly, the commission sent
out notices to all assessors in the
state asking their help in locating
unlicensed vehicles and enforcing
the law.
The Reddoch decision was hand
ed down about one month ago. In
it the Boise judge held that the
state law is constitutional which
licenses public automobiles on fees
apportioned according to their
carrying capacity, the fee varying
from S25 to $50 annually. he
over-ruled objections to the effect
that the law was local in effect and
discriminatory in regard to its IN
ceptions.
Both passenger carrying cars
and baggage cars are included IN
the case and the state authorities
will take the position that failure
to prosecute Immediately the nom
license payers is in effect penaliz-
ing the honest bus operator who
has complied with the law.
