CHAPTER x.

For a full minute Claire Bradford
and | stood there observing each 9TH
er. Even before a word was spoken
i think we both sensed our mutual
distrust. AS / studied her, was try
Ing to conjecture what could have
been the motive so impelling that she
had dared to come even within prison
walls to see me. Had Barbara sent
her? / doubted II. 1 was sure that
more than likely her visit was to
plead with me to keep silent about
her part in the tragedy. I was GER
tain she was going to ask me to pledge
my word to tell no one of her second
visit to the CASTOR apartment.
Yet as l studied her weak, beautiful
face, so like Barbara's and yet so diff
ferent, with its sensuous mouth and
rowing, brilliant eyes, l still was won
dering how 1t was possible for a girl
of her refinement and social position
to have become enmeshed with such
common criminals as the two en-
ployees of the Granddeck. Wick and
the telephone girl.
ITO what am l indebted for the
honor of this visit" asked at length,
adding with some sarcasm, "from my
sister,"
Never for a second had l imagined
that other than a selfish motive could
have brought her thither, and the con-
versation that followed was all the
more surprising to me on that ac-
count.
II had to say l was your sister"
she answered quickly. 81 wanted to
be sure Of seeing you and I did not
wish anyone to recognize me. You
know, / believe, who / ann"
"You are Barbara's sister," re-
piled.
That's why came" she cried, "for
Barbara's sake. l have come to plead
with you for her."
."To plead-with me-for her." I
echoed In establishment.
"Yes," she cried passionately.
"She's young. She's little more than
a child. She did not realize what she
was doing. You must not let anyone
know you even know her. You must
never, never tell"
"Never tell what?" I answered nom
committally.
She answered with a convulsive sob.
j thought for little that she was
going to break down completely. Her
manner and the pallor of her face
attracted the attention of the keeper
who was In the room with us, and he
started forward as II expecting her
to fall In faint. Resolutely she
pulled herself together and went on
In calmer tones.
"Oh. | know all about Il. I know
that she is completely fascinated by
you. l know that she has been meet

German come to my rescue.
ITS your sister" he announced.
My sister! thrill shot through
me at his announcement. l knew Of
course II could not be my sister. Both
of them were mere children far away
In the West. 1t must be Barbara.
Undoubtedly she had resorted to this
ruse to make sure of seeing me while
at the same time concealing her own
identity.
Overjoyed at her coming, delighted
to know that l had read her heart
Alright and that my confidence in her
trust In me was justified, l FASTENED
with the keeper to meet her.
Delighted as l was at her coming, I
was formulating in my mind how best
to make 1t clear to her that she must
leave at once and that no matter what
happened she must keep her lips
closed about the events of last night.
Under no circumstances would I per-
init her to sacrifice herself to save me.
In the counsel room a yelled figure
awaited me. l sprang forward eager
ly toward her. The woman standing
there put up one hand in a repelling
gesture and then flung back her veil.
! stood there astounded. 1t was
not Barbara. 1t was her sister Claire.

Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of

RIDDING WEST OF RODENTS.
Poisoned Grain Spread on $50, 900 Acres
Under Government Supervision.

To get rid of rodents and other unde-
sirabIe pests that menace acres OF the
governments land in the Western States,
extensive work has been carried on by
the Biological Survey of the Department
of Agriculture during the last year, and
especially in Oregon, which is infested the
most. A total of over 20, 900 pounds OF
poisoned grain was spread on 10000
acres by the Biological Survey employees
or by farmers and stoclImen working
under the direction of field assistants In
addition TO this, 100 ounces of strychnrne
and 1000 pounds OF poisoned gram were
furnished by the county agent OF Wallowa
county. This was used IN fighting squirrels
as they began to gather from the public
lands to the cultivated lands, and was
sent as temporary relief until the govern
ment could undertake a more systematic
campaign in that county. Seventeen
counties Joined in the cooperative cam
paign against ground squirrels. More than
$500 farmers took part IN the work and
treated 697, 900 acres of their own lands,
using IS, $50 pounds of poisoned grain,
prepared under the direction OF the Bio
logical Survey representatives.
There are more than 50, 000, 900 acres OF
public land In Oregon, of which approx
mateiv Is. OO0, 900 acres are IN forest re-
serves and Is. .0O0, 600 are on homesteaded
lands and public domain, and about A.
600. 600 unsurveyed land A large part of
this public land is heavily infested with
these pests. Practically all the unhome-
steaded land and unsurveyed land serves
as breeding ground for jack rabbits.
Several counties are also suffering from
ground squirrels, and pocket gophers are
found IN all of the natural forests.

Special Dispatch From Every Evening .
Washington Correspondent.
Washington, Feb 23.--ft looks as
though the Peace Treaty will be ratified
after brief debate that IL, brief for the
United States Senate. There appear 10
be enough Democrats willing 70 make
concessions to assure favorable action on
the reservations. But whether the
President will accept the result of the
Scnate's work is another matter. Some
persons close to the chief executive say he
viii probably refuse to proclaim the
Treaty, and will in that way force IL INTO
the coming campaign as the leading issue
Senator Lodge is not inclined 10 make
any tangible concessions. Hc is apparently
unwilling To avoid the risk TO the Republi-
can party which the pocketing Of the
peace treaty would entail. He seems 70
be 80 convinced that the country would
support his demand for annulling reserva-
tions that be is ready 10 go the limit
On the other hand there are leaders IN
the Democratic party who would welcome
the League of Nations rs the leading issue.
This group has the hearty sympathy of
President Wilson who seems n have no
nisgyings whatever on the view that
that nation would take of the question.
The President, it was stated by one Of
his advisers today, is as fully convinced
now that the country viii support him IN
his fight for the league without reserva-
tons as when he returned from Europe
with the completed document IN his
pocket.
