TEACHERS SALARY
PROBLEM BATTLES

Members of school boards and
school superintendents OF most
of the larger cities Of western Or
egon met in Albany Friday after
noon to discuss teachers salaries,
but failed to agree on uniform
plan. Although no definite ac-
ton was taken, delegates eX-
pressed the opinion that through
the exchange of ideas and sug-
gestions offered, the meeting will
lead to better salaries in the fu-
ture and that from this view
pOint the conference was import
ant and successful.
The conference voted for the
appointment Of Il committee to
confer on behalf OF the school
boards with a committee author
lied by the state legislature and
appointed by the state superin-
tendent of public instruction to
work out a plan of state taxation
tor the support of the public
schools.
State Superintendent Churchill!
recommended q minimum of $l2j
for grade teachers and S135 for
high school teachers with the pro-
vision that experienced teachers
receive more than the minimum
was then proposed but the ma
iority of the delegates deemed it
inadyisable to try to fix uniform
schedule now.
Ashland was represented at the
conference by Superintendent G.
A. Briscoe and Thomas II Simp-
son.

discovered tne plot. we'll And here at length was Dave, engrossed in a very different matter. Conward fol- lowed them up the stairs.
 Irene and Dave chatted with the boy for a few moments, then Irene turned to some arrangements for his comfort and Dave started downstairs. In the passage he was met by Con- ward
 "What are you doing here?" Dave demanded, as he felt his head begin ming to swim in anger.
 Conward leered only the more of fensively, and walked down the stairs beside him. At the foot he coolly lit another cigarette. He held the match before him and calmly watched it burn out. Then he extended it toward Dave.
 You remember our wager, Elden. I present you with-a burned-out match.'
 "You liar" cried Dave. "You in famous liar!"
 Ask her." Conward replied. "She will deny it, of course. All women dO."

 Dave did not press the trigger at once. He took fierce delight in tor

irene appeared on the stairway. For a moment her eyes refused to grasp the scene before them: Con- ward covering terror-stricken; Dave fierce, steely, implacable, with his re- volver lined on Conward's brain. Through some strange whim of her mind her thought in that instant flew back to &e bottles on the posts of the Elden ranch, and Dave breaking five out of six on the gallop. Then suddenly she became aware of one thing only. A tragedy was being en- acted before her eyes.
 "Oh, don't, Dave! Don't, don't shoot him!" she cried, flying down the remaining steps. Before Dave could grasp her purpose she was upon him, had clutched his revolver, had wrapped her arms about his. Don't, don't, Dave!" she pleaded. "For my sake don't do-that! !"
 Her words were tragically unfortu- nate. For a moment Dave stood as one paralyzed; then his heart dried up within him.
 "So that's the way of !" he said, as he broke her grip, and the horror in his own eyes would not let him read the sudden horror in hers. "All right; take it." and he placed the re- volver in her hand. "You should know what to do with it." And be- fore she could stop him he had walked out of the house.
 She rushed to the gate, but al- ready the roar of his motor was lost in the hum of the city's traffic.

CHAPTER XIII.

When Dave sprang ipto his car he gave the motor a full head and drove through the city streets in q fury of recllcSsness. His mind was numbed ; t was incapable of asserting thoughts and placing them in proper relation sh'0 to one another. He was soon out of the city, roaring through the still autumn night with undiminished speed.
 Over tortuous country roads, across sudden bridges, along slippery hill- sides, through black bluffs of scrub land-in some strange way he tried to drown the uprOar in his soul in the frenzy of the steel that quivered be- heath him. On and on into the night. Bright stars Sleamed overhead; q soft breeze pressed against his face; it vas such night as he had driven, a year ago, with Bert Morrison. Was that only year ago? And what had happened? Where had he been? Oh, to bring the bOy-Charlie, the boy. When was that? Under the calm heaven his mind was already attempt ing to establish a sequence, to set it's outraged home again in order.
 Suddenly the car skiddcd on slip pery hillside. turned from the road, plowed through 8 clump of scrub, ricochetted against dark obstruction, poised d moment on two wheels. turn ed around, and stopped. The shock brought Dave to his senses. He sat on the running board and stared for a long while into the darkness.
 "No use being a d-d fool, any way. Dave" he said to himself at lengtha "I got it-where I didn't ex- pect it-but I guess that's the way with everyone" He tried to philoso- phize; to get a fresh grip on him. self. "Where are we, anyway" he continued. "This country looks famil- iar." He got up again and walked about, finding his way back to the
Connecticut western news., 1920-01-01

road. He went along 1t iitte way. Vague impressions suggested that he should know the spot, and yet he could not identify 1t. Then, with a sudden shock, it came to him. 1t was the hillside on which Doctor Hardy had come to grief; the hillside on which he had first seen her bright face, her wonderful eyes. A poignancy of grief engulfed him, sweeping away his cheap philosophies. Here she stood, young and clean and entrancing, thrust before him in an instant out of the wonderful days of the past. And would she always fol- low him thus? With an unutterable sinking he knew that was so-that the world was not big enough to hide him from Irene Hardy. There was no way out.
 He started his motor, and even in his despair felt thrill of pride as the faithful gears engaged and the car climbed back to its place on the trail. Was all faithfulness, then, in things of steel and iron, and none in flesh and blood? He followed the trail. Why stop now? The l0ngforgotten ranch buildings lay across the stream and behind the tongue of spruce trees, un- less some wandering foothill fire had destroyed them. He forded the stream without difficulty. That was where he had carried her out. He felt his way slowly along the old fence. That was where she had set up bottles for his craftsmanship. He stopped where the struggling gate should be and walked carefully into the yard. That was where she had first called him Dave. Then he found the doorstep and sat down to wait.
 When the sun was we'll up he arose and walked about His lips were parched; he found himself nibbling them with his teeth. so he went to the stream. He was thirsty, but he drank only q mouthful; ihe water was flat and nsipid. The old cabin was in better repair than he would have thought. He sprung the door open. It was musty and strung with cob webs. He did not go in but sat down and tried to think.
 Later he walked up the canyon. He must have walked swiftly, for the sun was not yet at the meridian when he found himself at the little nook in the rock where he and Irene had sat that afternoon when they had first laid their hearts open to each other. Suddenly one remark stood up in his memory. "The day is coming" she had said, "when our country will want men who can shoot and ride" And he had said, "Well, when it does it can call on me" And today the country did want men who could shoot. and ride, and he had flown into the foothills to nurse a broken heart. Broken hearts can fight as we'll as whole ones. He could he of some use yet. At any rate there was way out.
 Some whim led him through the grove of spruce trees on his way back to the ranch. Here, in an open space, he looked about, kicking in the dry grass. At length his toe disturbed few bleached bones, and he stood and looked with unseeing eyes far across the shimmering valley.

turing the man who had wrecked his life-even while he told himself he could not believe his boast. Now he watched the color fade from Con- wards cheek; the eyes stand out in his face; the livid blotches more livid still; the cigarette drop from his nerveless lips.
 You are a brave man, Conward," he said, and there was the rasp Of hate and contempt in his voice. You are a very brave man."
 Mrs. Hardy, sensing something wrong, came out from her sitting room. With a little cry she swooned away.
 Conward tried to speak, but words stuck in his throat. With a dry tongue he licked his drier lips.
 Do you believe in hell, Conwardr' Dave continued. "I've always had some doubt myself, but in thirty sec onds-you'll know"
