CHAPTER XIV.

Then the Chivvises came back from
their vacation Unexpectedly early. They
had found the hotels expensive and
Mr.. Chivvis was afraid that his Job
would be snatched from him If he
were not there to hold 1t down.
Clay called on Daphne that evening
and the Chivvises retreated to their
own room. But as they could be over
heard 1t was evident that they could
overhear, and the lovers found no
chance TO say any Of the things that
frightened their souls.
One evening Daphne said to Clay in
as low voice as he could hear: "Mrs.
Chivvis is growing uneasy, honey.

ming. / told her we were engaged, but
she didn't seem convinced. Perhaps

much on It and last week had an in
sulting letter from the jeweler. He
threatened to sue me and notify my
firm, and I-well, had to send 1t
back"
He was so downcast that she an
swered with mock cheer: "0h, that's
all right, honey; 1t doesn't matter.
After all, it's only a ring. And we
have each other"
"But we haven't each other. This
way Of living is driving me crazy. I'll
be all right as soon as these hard
times are over and l can make some
commissions. But it's so dismal to
wait. Couldn't we get married and
live on my salary?"
II could II you could"
He caught her in his arms so vio-
lently that she squealed.
The next day Clay telephoned to her
his firm had Just offered him the
choice Of accepting half his salary or
turning In his resignation. 1t was
really impossible for two to live on
half of what was hardly enough for
one.
Daphne cried long while In her
room. She got out her list of ways to
earn fifty thousand dollars again and
cried over that.
There Is much foolish and futile pro-
test against the nowadays woman who
goes int business outside her home.
But the fact is that II Is her business

USING COMMON SENSE

For some time past there has
been in evidence throughout the
western states an insiduos propa-
ganda which, while ostensibly In
augurated for the benefit of the DO
nestle beet sugar industry. in rear
ity created a feeling of dissatisrac
ton among farmers with conditions
as they are.
Under present unsettled -condi-
tions,, however, the farmers seem
to be turning away from the agita-
tor, who doesn't buy their beets.
The factories are paying the same
price as last year in spite OF falling
market in most lines and the farm
ers see the advantage of a guaran-
teed price crop under present con-
ditions and are signing up large ac-
reage.
This assures the development of
the sugar beet industry in the west.

MORE POLITICAL TINK-
ERING

Now that certain different boards.
bureaus, commissions. and officials
figure they have the railroads. tele-
phone and telegraph, express. ship
ping aud other industries we'll on
the way toward final government
Ownership, they are turning their
hand to insurance and an enlarge
lment of the present soldiers lnsur-
ance system.
; One bureau is already proposing to
take certain lines of insurance out
of private hands and make a mono
poly OF these branches in the hands
OF the Farm Loan board.
The theory is that the Farm Loan
Board could add the simple" pro-
position OF insurance on all farm
properties seeking government loans
without any expense. Since when
have government officials worked for
nothing? Naturally taxes, licenses
'etc.. would be done away with which
the private companies now pay to-
support the government but some
body else would have to dig Il up.
The department of labor recon-
'mends community insurance" to.
"supercede profit seeking compete
, tive insurance" or course any poll
ltician can run the insurance BUSH
, ness, for the people can always be
taxed to make up losses.
The fact that the railroad admin
isuation raised railroad rates twice
as much as the private companies
ever asked to do in addition to cut
ting service seem to have no bearing
on insurance. Oh no! The men in
charge of insurance would be smart
: err than the railroad officials.
4 Contrasted with the greatly In
Teased railroad rates, the insurance
. industry has been able to pull thru
( the war emergency with only ten
> per cent temporary surchaTge.

STILL WAITING

The eyes OF the oilmen OF the
country, and especially those of the
intermountain and coast districts,
are on Washington, eagerly looking
for a sign of definite move to pass
the oil land leasing bill.
A leasing bill has been before
Congress for several years. while for
more than a year futile efforts have
been made to bring the Senate ana

POLITICAL HYPOCRACY

You have in Oregon the spectacle
of city politicians presenting meas
ures in the legislature to take away
from the state utility commission
the right to regulate rates of public
utilities prior to creation of the
commission. This would virtually
do away with the commission as
few utilities have been built since
its creation and would throw util-
titles back into politics and on mercy
of the old time ward politicians.
y This move is to punish the COM
mission for increasing fares of the
Portland street railway to prevent
bankruptcy of the system
In New York City we witness the
spectacle of great traction system
in the hands of a receiver and the
mayor of that city calmly refusing to
consider increased fares and saying
ar the company cannot run at its
franchise rate of cents let it go
bankrupt and the city will run the
lines.
These same politicians on opposite
sides of the U. S. never said a word
amout utility commission setting
aside franchise agreements between
cities and utilities so long as rates
were being lowered, but the minute
conditions make it necessary to
grant temporary increases its all
wrong and unlawful.
Just what these politicians do II
they took over the line That would
either tax the people to cover the ce-
Ificits or increase rates more than
private companies ever asked.
! Take the case OF the Boston trac-
tion company now under political
management. The 5 cent fare has
been increased to 8 cents and the
face a bill for millions OF
dollars deficit in addition. Also no.
tice the railroads.
Franchises made years age could
not foresee present day conditions
and a man is fool or a hypocrite
who does not recognize this fact.

every little penny. I'd much rather
have a regular allowance in cash ev-
cry week."
"All right !" said Bayard. "We'll try
that-next week."
Daphne was not told what all this
talk was about, but she made fair
guess, though she pretended not to.
She told about her failure and her
future and Leila praised her courage
and her optimism. They dined cheer
fully and Bayard decided that the best
preparation for the hard work ahead
of him would be an evening of gayety.
He invited his wife and his sister to
go with him to the Winter Garden,
where the typical sunday concert" of
New York was given.

crowd. But they welcomed him asa
| Chaperon of sort. Also. he paid his
way with liberality, except for Occa-
| cional spasms of retrenchment, when
| he economical atrociously. He pre-
dlcted that good times would never
come again. The whole world had
gone to pot and would never come
out.
Suddenly he changed his tune; sud.
! denly the whisper went about that
hard times were ending.
In his bachelor days, when Bayard
was growing in commercial stature
like young giant, he had regarded
his business with all the warmth of
a poet. His office building was his
Acropolis and his Office the peculiar
temple of his muse; and her name
| was Profit. He thrilled like poet
! to the epic inspiration of a big sale,
and he knew JOY akin TO the poets
revision of his scansion II he devised
scheme for reducing overhead
charge or wastage.
II was thus that he had made him
self important enough TO advance
rapidly in his firm. And he had put
large share of his salary every
week into savings bank. With his
extra commissions and bits of unex-
pected luck he had bought securities
Of impregnable value. These he had
| locked away In safe-deposit vault.
They paid him only four or FIVE per-
| cent, but they were as sure as any
thing mundane. And twice year
they granted him the lofty emotion
OF the coupon cutter.
He had paid cash for what mer-
chandise he bought and demanded
special discounts for 1t. In time the
many mickles made a muckle. He had
| five thousand dollars worth Of bonds
in his safe deposit box.
And then he married-pawned him
self at the marriage shop. He kept
his hoard a secret from Leila.
Now he saw a chance to use the
talents that he had buried In a nap
kin. He filed the ears OF Clay and
Daphne with his market jargon. He
was as unintelliglble TO Daphne as
mad Scot talking golfese.
