I hesitated moment, and felt rather
than saw Dickys frown of displeasure
that I did not Immediately verify his
statement.
What Madse Replied
''WIhat Dicky has told you is the
truth" finally remarked, except that
did not know we were breaking the
fishing laws"
"Of course you didn't, Mr.. Under
wood returned in much the same tone
that one would say. There, there" to
an infant. but | want TO ask you one
more question. You are on the wit
ness stand, remember. Was what
Dicky told me the whole truth ?"
/ shrugged my shoulders lightly.
I believe no wife can be compelled
to testify against her husband" I said
mischievously, and turned to Lillian
leaving the two men to fight out theiT6
own battle.
"Aha / have lit" Harry Underwood
turned gloatingly to Dicky. You were
arrested all right, but you squirmed
out of 1t some way. You'd bettag
make clean breast of it and throI
yourself upon the mercy of the court"
"All right" Dicky agreed, provided
you let Lii be the court She's got
some sense of fairness, and won't let
you get away with any rough work"
whats the matter with Mrs. Ora
ham as judge of the matter?"
demanded Mr.. Underwood, smiling at
me.
ooh, she never could resist your fas-
cinations Harry. She'd decide for you.
I might as well PUNK down the money
now as let her judge the matter"
He spoke lightly, gay1y, smiling at
me as he spoke. But / saw Lillian
shoot swift, shrewd little glance at
him. and 1 knew that under his light

against me for not upholding him more

ing the fishing laws. Could II be pos

PRESS COMMENT
Former Governor May Need Friends.

Former Governor May Need Friends.
Things look a bit scaley for the man
who has been squirting about in the
gubernatorial chair in Tallahassee for
the past four years, for a resolution
introduced in the upper house of the
legislature by Senator Wells calls for
a deep probe into many of the Incl
dents and accidents of the regime of
the Recalcitrant The bill is camou-
flaged under the desire to determine
the truth or the falsity of the per
sistent rumors circulated throughout
the state" intirnating that the man
while governor Of Florida" received
money to influence his official action
in granting pardons to state convicts:
received money to influence the Off
cial actions of removing parties from
county office or official positions; re-
ceived money to influence his official
action in appointing persons TO office;
and was guilty of many other acts in
violation of law and tending to bring
shame upon the fair name of the state.
1t is always conceded that Dame
Theysay is responsible for many an
error; in fact there have been many
cases where there have been not the
slightest grounds, for assertions made.
In this case which promises to come
under early consideration there seems
to have been so many charges of such
various natures. taken into considera-
ton with the excessive temperamental
makeup of a man, that a careful in
vestigation should be made-even
though the decision of the great jury
of the state shall render the present
medicine magnate clean bill of
health.
just how the probe is to be con-
Quoted will be difficult to foretell. The
man who offers the bride is usually
as much averse to publicity as the
man who accepts payment-whether
the offer be of finance or feaIty or fl
deity; consequently little development
can be hoped for from direct sources
That old Montana verdict-"Guilty,
but not proven'-may be the result:
but so long as there shall be no refer
ence to the present business of pro-
viding pig panaceas, chicken condolers,
mule medicines, horse helps. and tick
tablets, the publicity will not serve to
spread free the jump from Tallahassee
to therapeutics.
In with the probe-let law be I'M
confined.-Kissimmee Valley Gazette.

THE sTAY-AT-HoME
BY Martha Haskell Clark.

Wherever dark pines lift their plumes
against a sunset sky,
or blue hills watch through hemlock-
dusk the small white roads
creep by.
There YOU will find the heart Of me
that will not sit and bide,
But follows vagrant wisps o. dream a
down the countryside.
Wherever gray gulls slant and soar
against the blowing spray.
Or white sails beat to open sea against
a wind-whipped bay.
Wherever swirls the wake churned
weed behind the tramper- ships.
There you will find the heart OF me
with laughter on it's lips
A city roof my vision holds. and one
small strip of sky
And beaten out by countless feet the
toil-drugged hours pass by.
The dark trains cleave the station
smoke, the great ships quit the
quay,
But none OF all life's caravans may
keep place for me.
And yet. wherever down the world
the dawn-light wakes to gold
On tinted turrets OF romance. down
roadways far unrolled;
Wherever fields OF dream are spread.
dew-sweet beneath the stars.
There fares the gypsy heart of me

at the recent convention in Mil

protesting against the activities OF

existence OF such an organization as

ace he thought the action unneces-

Plight of the Railroads
(From the New York Herald). 4.

What General Atterbury, operat-
ing vice-president OF the Pennsyl-
vania railway system, meant the
other day when he declared that the
transportation properties we're be-
ing sacrificed to prevent deficits is
specifically illustrated by the details
Of the August expenses OF the Great
Northern, one OF the best railroads
OF the Northwest and of the
country.
In August the Great Northern
was able to show net operating rev.
enues Of s2.3OO.O0O in contrast with
a deficit Of more than 5000. 900
for the corresponding month of
1920. But to rescue itself from the
financial wreck conditions OF the
previous year the road was COM
PEELED to resort to heroic measures
which in the long run could mean
nothing but physical wreck.
Maintenance Of way-work on
the roadbed, bridges, tunnels. &c
was simply butchered with a cut
from s4i42.294 in August. 1920, to
s1,s94,355 for August Of this year.
Maintenance OF equipment-repair-
ing, restoring and otherwise keep
ing up the rolling stock-was about
cut In half. with a reduction from
almost s4.00O,O0O down to little
more than 100000.
II is true, of course. that part Of
these reductions in expenditures
would be accounted for by the con-
siderably lower costs of materials
