OF his introspection. to take the city
to his heart, TO reveal himself, to an
swer for Dicky Morgan's failures and
to pledge himself anew to the achieve
ment which Dicky Morgan's friends
had prophesied; and then he had been
overwhelmed by the recollection that
he had made this course impossible.
II he had only known that all his de-
ceptions were needless.l II he had
only known that Dlcky Morgan could

What anguish he could have saved

lem was still the same-should he
continue. safe In his masquerade. to
the goal he had set for himself. or
should he risk the worst. and salve
his conscience by renunciation?
BY far the most distressing factor In
this puzzle was his relationship to Car
oil Durant He had seen her only half
a dozen times during the month, and
never alone-the fates or Armstrong
had circumvented him-but he was
head over heels In love with her again,
and he sensed. from fugitive glances
and stray word or two on her part,
that she wasn't entirely averse to him.
But what would Carol think II she
knew that this grave and tender
stranger was hiding behind the wrath
OF Dicky Morgan-it was "a thousand
times the worsei II she were ever

And then there was little Angela

And In addition. there was the seri-
Gus business Of making good; he was
no longer impelled TO II by resentment,
but rather by unadulterated ambition;
this, too, he would see destroyed by
any admission of his deceit. To con-
tinue In the game was TO lose his prob
ity; 10 relinquish II was TO lose all
else; and even now. his JOY and pride
was contained I'm precisely those things
which he must give up. II he decided
TO tear on the mask OF hypocrisy; and |
his self.respect was rising out OF the
mud OF what he never should have

LANEEXPLAINS FEATURES OF
 LEASING LAW

Secretary of the Interior Depart ment Franklin K Lane before his re- tirement, issued the following state- ment relative to the new mineral leasing law:
 Inquiries received in the Depart ment show that there is much mis- information abroad relative to the scope and effect of the mineral leas- ing bill which was approved by the President February 26. For instance, many have gained the impression that leases on proven oil lands of great value are to be had by the mere fil- ing of an application ahead of any, body else.
 'In tn first place it should be under stood that the proven oil lands of the government are largely covered by claims of various kinds that have been in litigation for some years, and which claims must be submitted for adjustment, within six months under Secs. IS, 18a and 19 of the new law; until such claims are acted upon, none of those lands can be leased and then only to the extent to which claims are rejected.
 Tn the next place, under the act, when the government grants lease for either oil or coal land, except under the relief sections or as the result of a permit, it will be by com- petitive bidding, of which ample notice will be given to the public
 "The only part of the act which is self-operative, and with respect to which person can take any steps, leading to the requirement of any right before the regulations of the department are issued or before the department has taken the necessary preliminary steps to offer the lands for lease, is that portion of Sec. 13 of the act which provides for secur- Ing preference right for an oil pros pecting permit, by posting a notice on the ground; and this applies to lands not in the geologic structure If a producing oil field. These reguia- lions are IT, the hands of the printer. and will be issued immediately they are off the press. Copies may be had on request from the Commissioner of the General Land Office.
 There can be no doubt as to the very great importance of this leg isiation; it marks a wide departure in public policy. It opens to devel- cpment and use large resources that lave been virtually locked up as a result of withdrawals or inadequate laws, and will offer means Of set ting litigation that has been pending for years, with fairness to the liti~ gants and the public interests

 TRAINS TO AND
 FROM TACOMA !

SEATTLE, Wash, March 15 (by As sociated Press) Electric locomotives driven by current generated by water power, for the first time, pulled trains trains over the coast division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway. The Columbian, the com pany's overland train, was the first to leave Tacoma, on the coast end, behind an electric locomotive.
 Identification of the coast division which extends 207 miles from Tacoma to Othello, central Washington, makes a total of 647 miles over which the Milwaukee line operates electric To- comotives The Montana and Rocky Mountain divisions, from Harlowtown, Mont, to Avery, Idaho, were electri- fled in 1915 and 1916. Steam locomo- lives are still used on gap between Otheiio and Avery. Electrification of this gap is being rushed.
 No helping engines will be used, it was announced, to assist the electric locomotives pull the trains up the 22 per cent coast division grades, the heaviest on the system. The electric engines, it was estimated, will make the grades at about twenty-five miles an hour.
 When the Avery Othello gap is close, the Milwaukee will have 860 miles of it's western lines electrified. From ninety to ninety-five electric locomotives will do the work of about 250 steam locomotives performed be- fore identification. Substitution of water power for steam over the 86O miles will save approximately 3OO,- 900 tons of coal and 40,0O0,O00 gallons of fuel oil annually, the company es- inmates.
 Glacial streams of Mount Raniar will supply some of the power which will be used to drive the engines. On the west end the power will come from the White, Puyallup and Sno- qualmie plants of the Puget Sound Traction, Light and Power Company. On the east end it will be furnished by the Long Lake plant of the Wash ington Waterpower Company. The White and Puyallup plants are on streams fed by glaciers.
 Electric trains will not run into Seattle until a stretch of 12 miles from Renton Junction is rigged with poles and trolley wires The work Will start as soon as the company ar ranges for a long time lease on the line.
