difficulty of expressing herself ac-
'c%urately.
IF YOU really love me, do what 1
ask you tonight" Warren Gregory
said firmly.
His wife sat as if turned to stone
for only a few seconds. When she
spoke it was naturally and cheerful
ly.
"I'll be ready in no time, dear.
Where are we to dine" She glanced
at her little crystal clock as she
spoke. as if she~@Were computing
casually the length Of the drive be-
fore dinner. But what she said in
her heart was. "At this time tomor-
row it will all have p.sn owe for
many hours!"
A few days later the Gregorys sail
ed for Bermuda. Rachael with a
sense of whipped and smarting
shame that was all the more acute
/ because she could not share it with
this dearest comrade and conidant.
Warren thought indeed that the mis-
cradle episode of the past week had
been dismissed from her mind, and
delighting like a boy in the little holi-
day, and proud of his beautiful wife,
he found their hours at sea cloudless.
With two men, whose acquaintance
was made on the steamer, they played

other players from all sides to watch
her leads and grin over her bidding.
They walked up and down the deck
for hour together, they lay side by
side in deck chairs lazily watching
the blue water creep up and down
the painted white ropes of the rail;
but they never spoke of Clarence
Breckenridge.
The Mardi-Gras dance had been
like a hideous dream to Rachael. She
a known that it would be hard
from the first sick moment in which
the significance of 'Clarence's suicide
had rushed upon her. She had known
that her arriving guests would be gay
and conversational, hat the dance
and the supper would go with a dash
and swing which no other circum-
stance could more certainly have as
sured for them; and she knew tina,
in. every heart would be the knowl-
edge that Clarence Breckenridge was
dying by his own hand, and his
daughter on the ocean, and that this
woman in the Indian dress, with
painted lips and a tiger skin outlining
her beautiful figure, had been his
wife. 80
This she had expected, and this
was as h had expected. But there
were other circumstances that made
her feel even more acutely the turn
of the screw. Joe Butler, always
C~larence's closets friend, did not
come to the dance. and at about IL
O'Clock an innocent maid delivered ia
Warren a message that several e
sons besides Warren heard: "Mr,

HARD SURFACED ROADS.

If proper cooperation between city, county and fed
eral government is shown Grand Forks will before the
end OF the present season have the first stretch of hard
surfaced country road in North Dakota, namely, the bit
CT road leading out of the city to the north and reaching
the property of the Mill and Elevator association on the
one hand and Of the Northern Packing company on the
other: '- -
There are two projects originating in the city. the
completion Of which requires this sort of cooperation.
One is the piece Of road referred to, and the o.her is
that at the western end of University avenue. The Uni
versity avenue project does not involve the county, as
the work is all to be done within the city limits. Here
crnment, the latter paying a designated portion Of the
cost of the work and the CITY paying the rest. This is
true, also, of that par. OF the northern project lying
within the city limits. Outside the city on the north
road the parties interested are the county and the fed
era government.
In all cases. in order to obtain federal aid. it is nee
essaiy that the work shall be performed { recording to APP
proved specifications and underline supervision of an Of
fetal engineer.
Bids on all this work have been presented, and the
figures named appear to be fair and r. asonable under
all the circumstances. Federal aid will be available on
the proper conn letion of the work. The city is Prepared
to do it's designated share. The county board has not yet
acted. but it is taken for granted that that body will be
sufficiently appreciative Of the interests involved to take
suitable steps for the completion of the part of the work
for which it is responsible.
The subject of good roads is one whose importance
has been greater activity in road Improvement than in
this state, and there will be greater activity now that the
Babcock amendment. has been passed. We cannot af-
ford to lag behind. Good roads are as important to the
farmers and townspeople of North Dakota as they are
10 their Minnesota neighbors.

were in possession, the lovely. spa.
cious DON were full of flowers; the
big studio had been emptied of fur
niture, there were great palms
massed in the musicians corner,
maids were quietly busy everywhere;
no eye met the glance Of the man Of
the house as he went upstairs.
He found Mrs. Gregory alone in
her " luxurious room. No one who
had seen her in the excited beauty
of the night before would have been
likely to recognize her now. She was
wrapped in a great woolly robe, as if
she were cold. and with her hair
bound carelessly and tightly back as
q woman binds it for bathing.

CURRENT WHEAT PRICES.

Wheat prices have been on the down grade for sew
eral weeks. From the low point reached early in. the
winter there was a material gain, when a fresh slump
came, and every day brought the record of another
slight drop, or of no more than an inhnitessimal advance.
Foreign news is always a factor in the wheat situation
as the conditions abroad, even though not bearing on the
probable ability of foreigners to purchase what we have
to offer. The British coal strike has had a depressing
influence. as[it presages disturbed business conditions
throughout the territory of our largest customer, and
there is a strong probability that the closing. Of the
mines will be folloxed, by the breaking down Of the en-
tire transportation system of the country. That all this
can be brotght about without disorders of d grave char
acter is not believed by anyone. 1
The government wheat forecast issued yesterday in
dicates the probability of a winter wheat crop of 261,-
o00, 900 bushels, the fourth largest in history, and A.
oOo, 900 bushels larger than the winter wheat crop of last
year. This is certain to have a depressing influence on
the market. e".
OF course it does not follow that because a large crop
is indicated at this time a large crop will be harvested.
The business OF the government estimators is not to pre-
dict how much wheat will be raised. but to record the
acreage sown, the condition at a given date; and the
probable crop if the present condition is maintained un-
til harvest. The prospects may be ,bettered or impaired
as the season progresses. But the individual to whom
the price of wheat means more or less dollars in his own
treasury cannot afford to ignore any facts which have an
actual bearing on the price. e.
Those who held their wheat last fall because of their
own Independent judgment as to what the future price
would be, made a mistake such as any business man may
make at any time in estimating the future market con-
ditions of a commodity in which he is interested. Such
an individual must merely admit his error and take his
loss with the best grace possible. -
But there are some thousan ds of people in this state
who. held their: wheat, not because of the exercise of
their Judgment: but because. of the advice of politicians
in which judgment they had come to rely. They. had
subjected to an intensive cultivation of the notion that in
some mysterious way the politician has it in his power
to make the individual happy and prosperous. More or
less completely they accepted that doctrine, and when
their favorite politicians told them to hold their wheat
for three dollars. they held, expecting that the predic-
tons of the politicians would be made good.
The deluded victims of the promises made have lost
money which they might as we'll have had. They will
not get 1t back. There is not the slightest possibility
that the market will make good their losses, and it is a
dead certainty that the politicians will not.
