CHAPTER XIII.

In the colorless days that followed,
billiard listlessly set about the order
ing of his final plans. Fortunately,
there were few of them; his mind
would never have been equal to intri-
cate detail.
II was a slight consolation to him to
realize that the city had habit of
judging men by personal rather than
by financial standards; for all its
pride and wealth, 1t would censure him
more for his wrecked personality than
for whatever money losses he had
caused. He was prepared to endure
that censure; and because he under
stood the provocation behind II, he
was all the more eager to aid in the
salvage There would be more saved

body from nowhere. with a lying face,
lying tongue, and no claque to mourn
at his exit.
But then there was Angela's start
ling allegation She had declared
that Everybody" In town knew all
about billiard and Carol. Every
body" would have a different opinion.
He had tried to explain himself to
Carol and he had failed; and In the
light OF Angelas revelation. Ii was diff
ficult to decide whether Carol herself
In protesting that she wanted to re-
tain him as friend, had meant that
and nothing more, or that and a great
deal more. But no matter what she
had intended to convey, he dared not
go TO her again, he dared not see her
and speak TO her, for If he lied to her
but ne couldn't lie to her now,
and every word of truth would prove
a boomerang. He was trapped; and
although his heart was breaking for
the love ne had almost won second
time, he remained steadfast to the
ideals he had created. If Carol were
to lose him az a sutton, she should new
or know that her first and foremost
sutton had gone TO the devil.
He told himself fiercely there was
one definite and permanent way out

no one-after the first natural flood Of
excitement and denunciation--woul
remember very much about Henry
Hilliard. 1t would save such deal of
needless trouble; 1t would save such a
wearisome amount of shame.
But against the pltlless background
OF the war, self-destruction as a means
OF avoiding personal difficulties, self
caused, seemed curiously repellent-
curiously cheap.
No IL was part OF his own
grievance that Carol and the others
must grieve, too; he had dual re-
spOnsibilty to society. He had no
right to leave these matters clOuded by
any uncertainty of motive. Syracuse
had n right to know the facts; and IL
the facts brought pain to those he
loved. why. that was something he
should have thought about In June,
and not In November.

had so carefully buIlded, he knew that
Il wasn't the punishment Of the law
that he dreaded. IL was the ostraclsm
which would accompany IL. II wasn't
his own shame which gripped him. 1t
was the consciousness of the shame
which would attach to his friends.
And So for a day or two. all his fac
ulties were strung upon the attitude
OF the public toward him; he was
watching frantically for the first signs
of adverse demeanor. and braclng him
self for the shock which was unavoid-
ably TO come. For secrets Will out,

The democratic party in the State
OF Washington has always taken the
advanced and progressive course on
all public questions where labor has
been directly concerned II has stood
for rational and constructive progress
and reforms. and championed. with
out exception. just measures in the
interest of the workers. 1t has made
progress and secured the enactment
of just laws and secured better con
ditions for labor in proportion as
labor has enabled ii to do so by Civ
ing its consistent support. The pur-
of Washington, wherever and when
ever the interests of labor have been
involved. have never been a matter
of doubt. BY all its principles and
tendencies, the democratic party has
always been and is today the party
of the workers in the industries, in
business and in the professions
The platform of the democratic
party Of the state, as adopted on May
! 9TH last, says:
I'VE believe. under the existing
conditions, in the right of laboring
men to organize, and, as an organiza-
ton, to discuss grievances with their
employers and to bargain collective
ly for their labor. We insist that
both labor organizations and employ
ers shall fulfill their contracts with
each other.
Labor is not a commodity to be
bartered and profiteered upon. but
the human effort Of men and women
for which they are entitled to receive
wages measured by the productive
value of their toll. Industrial unrests
beset the country. 1t cannot be rem
edied by dependence upon the law of
supply the demand
There must be incentive and as
piration as we'll as wages. These
will bring increased production and
industrial cooperation.
TO this end, we approve and en-
dorse those profit-sharing systems
already in operation throughout the
country which give labor a Just
equity in the thing it produces, and
we look forward to the day when the
pay check will represent the value
of the laborer's work and not the
degree of his dependence or the state
of his necessities. We believe indus

Countrywide All Right, but Needs

At the state fair in progress at
Yakima last week Thurston was
almost the only county in the state
not represented as q county with q
fine exhibit Of its resources. It isn't
because this county doesn't produce
the stun as good as is grown any
place on earth, as the hne private
exhibit of honey made by Fred Man
derry Of Tenino carried on . blue rib
bon and the exhibit made by the
South Bay canning division of the
boys and girls club work won five
blue ribbons and the. girls represent
ing this club, Miss Ruth Hayden and
Miss Gladys Taylor. were declared
state champions by their public dem
onstration OF canning, judging of the
finished product and by their exhibit
Of canned vegetables, meats, sea
foods and fruits. all Of which Is re-
quired to carry Oh this much-coveted
prize. It is Q great achievement to
gain the state championship. % each
team allowed to compete, must be dis
trict champions in their line Of work
before being allowed to enter the
lists. So It 10 very evident that
Thurston county can do thinss and
should get busy to show folks what
can be and is done here. To say the
least it is rather embarrassing for a
Thurston county citizen who mem
toned the home county on. the fair
grounds to hear the remark: Thurs
ton county! Where 10 that? We
haven't seen any exhibit of her re-
sources at the fair" Let's begin right
now to get ready for next years ex-
hibit. II you haven't the time or op-
portunity to raise stock, poultry, gar
den stuff, fruit, or any thing that can
be used to put Thurston county On
the map, lend a helping hand to the
boys and girls clubs of the county,
who are doing things under the eff
cient leadership of VIM. H. Dunham.
The county should take advantage or
the services Of our county agrfcul-
turist, E. B. Stookey, whose advice
along things in his line can be had
