also, were free from guilt. Had Jim's mother been mistaken. Had fondness for her only son not carried her away?
 1 Then I remembered the jewellers description of Alice. And the sight of Alice with the bracelet on her wrist. Why, she'd even dropped her card in the jewellers store, and I'd seen her name upon it! l If Jim hadn't given Alice the gift, then certainly it was Tony. The de- scriptions of the two men were simi- lar, for Tony-though not one-half so handsome-did bear certain reserl. blance to my Jim.
 1 Tony chose to look entirely blank. There seemed no slightest chance that he would confess to his misdeed.
 And here, in Alice's own house, it would be quite impossible to press the point!
 It then transpired that it was Tony's turn to question me.
 "Pd like to know" said he. blow ing ring or two of smoke into the air, "I'd like to know how you, Hell enc, come to ask questions about the bracelet? And why do you choose me for your inquisition? Why not go straight to Alice, and find out the truth from her?'
 1 This was master .stroke. O1 course, the stakes were rather higf {. his personal reputation his whole future freedom.
 q couldn't bring myself to asl Alice such thing" I stammered.
 Here Tony saw his chance--ant took it.
 I "But you don't mind insulting me ? l I was silent
 "So Jim St. Aubyns got into trou ble over the forging of some checks ; did he?" went on Tony, mercilessly , "Now, listen carefully Helene! You'v'
 let one fact slip tonight. And-if
 choose to make it known--it'll con siderably damage Jim. St. Aubyns |. don't be so internally high and So here's tip. Don't talk so mucl |. mighty! Otherwise'-he smiled hi l, crooked little mile-"otherwise TT ; give your precious Jim away and tn Z house will be too hot to hold him!"
 Saying which, Tony blew anothc ,'ring of smoke into the air.

Helene'S Married Life
Copyright by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

The blood had rushed to my cheeks lin an indignant wave, and then re- ceded. Oh, how 1 hate this calm, cruel youth, and his interruptions ness!
 1t was maddening, too. to thing that I, Jim's secret wife, had inadvcrtent- ly put Jim in Tony's power! If Tony had indeed forged the check, it wasn't likely that he knew that Jim had been wrongfully accus- | ed. No, not until had told him.! The knowledge, then, might let Tony out. Accused, he'd insist that Jim and Jim alone-had done the deed. 1 As for Alice, little help might be expected from that quarter. For her own security, she'd never admit that the bracelet had been a gift from Tony. Alice wouldn't tell the truth, 1 if by so doing she would suffer.
 Poor Jim! My Jim! Alas! that foolish, blundering tongue of mine!
 If I'd been diplomatic, I'd have laid some definite trap into which Tony sooner or later would have fallen.
 Too late now!
 Helene, d'you know what think ?'' Tony's voice broke into my dreary thoughts.
 "No-and I don't carl" I was chil- dishly chagrined.
 "Come come, my dear!" Again he attempted to pat my hand-and fail, ed. "Well, m tell you. anyway. think you're more than half in love with the romantic invald-Jim St Aubyns!"
 "And if I were" A challenge lay in my eyes. "I'd be loving real man, then, wouldn't I?"-
 "On your own confession, ont who's supposedly criminal" came the quick, cruel answer. ! There was a pause. was trying to choke down my tears. And then to my -astonishment. Tony suddenly Ezra bbed me in his arms and held mt tight. I My dear--my dearest!" he wa murmuring, ardently. ;; Before I could in any way attemp to free myself, Jim's mother glidet l, by us, and went quickly down thu stairs!

Loses Suit To
Test Gravel Law
SALEM COMPANY

SALEM COMPANY w
! The right Of the state land board to
fix minimum royalty for sand ana
gravel taken from the beds Of nayiga-
BILE streams within the state under the
act Of the 1919 legislature is upheld
In an opinion handed down by the SUI
preme court this morning. The opin-
Ion which is written by Justice Johns
y concurred in BY Chief Justice Nc
Bride and Justices Bean and Bennett
and dismisses the original proceeding
IN mandamus brought by the Salem
sand y Gravel company brought in an
effort to compel acceptance OF their
Did OF three cents per cubic yard for
Isand. and gravel rights in the Willar-
|ette river at Salem, the minimum prica
fixed by the state land board being ten
cents per cubic yard.
Considering the language and DUR
pose of the act it was never the intent
of the legislature that the defendants
should be required to sell or lease sand
or gravel belonging to the state at
anything but a fair and reasonable
price" the opinion reads. = = 4 III the
defendants could now be compelled to
execute lease for five years at a stip-
uiated price of three cents per cubic
yard y they could be required to
execute lease for twenty-five or fifty
years at a price of two cents or even
one cent per cubic yard"

fort to compel the issuance Of a build.
ing permit for the erection Of an apart
ment house in a restricted residential
district. The opinion upholds Port
