but it was very human. Constance, you
see, had never been in love with anybody
but Alan, nor ever would be in love with
anybody again.
But when the Turkana came to anchor
on the Arabian coast, and the sounds OF
activity overhead proclaimed that some
thing important was happening, Comics
curiosity got the better of her. With some
misgivings she saw Alan and Daoud go
ashore and ride to Yambu. Also, having
passed a restless night, she saw them re-
turn. She wanted to question Alan as to
what was going to happen, but pride for
babe. She marked, from a distance, the
masquerade Of the men and learned by the
eagerness Of her fever patients, who were
cOnvalescent, how much depended upon
this expedition. But she did not speak to
Alan until just before the moment Of de-
parture, when he stood at the gangway
with the Armenian mink, who was appar-
emily to be a partner of his adventures.
She watched for a while the road up
which the two camels had gone and then
saw the launch returning. She felt very
much alone and wanted to talk to some
body. Captain Hoagland passed her, rub
bling his blue lips and smiling, but she
couldn't talk to him-not about Alan. She
watched the launch come alongside the
landing-grating and saw Alan's man Daw-

it meant anything to him now, there had
been time to warn her when she had come
from the Mercy-to tell her that her pres
ence aboard the Turkana would lead to
situation that must be intOlerable. But he
had said no word, given no sign, even as
they stood at the rail in the moonlight
and watched the Mercy depart, that this
other woman was aboard.
Were moral insensibility and brutality
a part of Alan's new condition? He had
not been fair with her. And yet what
could she do? She had her work and must
go on with it. Other hospital work, born
of this insane adventure would follow, and
she must go on with that, too. The thought
Of it seemed impossible. But gradually
out of her thoughts reason seemed to
come, and she regained her poise, hard
ening herself for the interview with Alan
that she knew must come.
We have seen what happened in that
interview. The pendulum had seemed to
swing back the full length of it's arc to
hatred of this man she loved. But of
course, poor Alan could not understand.
He had never understood Connie very well
or any other woman-and her intoler-
ance had made him really angry for the
first time in his life.
Meanwhile the Armenian girl sat aft and
smoked Alan's cigarettes, smiling brazenly
And Alan paced the deck, giving her smile

TELEPHONE COMPANY
CLAIMS IT OPERA TES
ONLOS|NC BASIS HERE
Public Service Commission Is
Hearing Reports OF Ex-
perts Today.

B. W. Macy, city attorney, and E. t
Busselle, consulting engineer, have re
turned from Portland whore they have
been attending the hearing before the
public service commission in the de.
mands made by the Pacific Telephone
& Telegraph company for a radical in
cease in telephone rates. The hearing
will probably close today.
The telephone company is baslng It's
demand for higher rates on the fact
that in Salem, for the year 1918, it oper-
ated at a loss of $1,000. The receipts at
Salem for the year were $4,000 ana the
expenses $Sl 900, according to the re-
port made to the commission. Based on
the present income and expense, the
telephone company claims that for this
year, its losses in Salem will approx
mate $4,000, unless it is granted an in
crease in rates.
In order to get at both sides Of the
proposition, the public service commits
sion today in hearing evidence Of sew
eral experts who were sent to San Fran
cisco to look over the books of the tele-
phone company.
Picked Salem Out.
Mr.. Busselle in stating the case of
the city of Salem, claimed that the tele-
phone company had picked out Salem
for its increase of rates and that the
figures of Albany, Eugene, Astoria and
other towns would not justify a higher
phone rate here. Mr.. Busselle has
served four years with the public serv-
ice commission and for IA years was as
sociated with the Bell Telephone com
pany as engineer.
The telephone company is asking
practically double rate for the rural
telephones and in some instances even
higher. For the Salem telephones, it is
asking an increase Of about so per cent
for residences and an increase from
$3.50 month tor $3.50 a month for busi-
ness telephones.
With the amount of work now before
it, the chances are that the public serv-
ice commission will not renuer ivs de-
cision for & month or more. If the
figures of income and expense present.
ed by the telephone company are veri-
fled, the chances are that within a few
months Salem and vicinity will be pay
ing higher telephone rates.
