 CarIOtta dropped me at Mason Towers on her way to Dreamwold. We had arranged to go separate ways to the city next morning. So dismiss ing from my mind the mystery of the blue car, and forgetting Carlott's troubles and my own as well, l wait ed to be admitted to Evvy's home.
 Evvy, herself, opened the door. A changed little wrath of an Evvy- slim and pale with hectic spots of color on the wide cheek bones of her kittens face, and with eyes so blue and wide that they seemed to occupy most of her face.
 I'm so glod you camel" she cried. 'fSo glad! I thought you wouldn't fail me. Now let's have a happy day.
 It was on the tip of my tongue to protest:
 ''You didn't bring me out here just to have a happy day. did you, EVvy? It sounded more important than the mere pursuit of pleasure, off in my little blue car for a day
 I'm glad now, that I didn't say that.
 q have a luncheon packed. and thought that if you liked, we'd go ,taken it out since-Sheny died. I jaunt, explained Evvy. I haven't  want to use it today-if you'll come along to give me courage"
 ''Of course, I will" I replied heart fly. Then, deeply touched by her wispy little figure and enormous eyes, added: wouldn't I go just any where your heart desired, you bless ed child you?'
 'Im so glad" sighed Evvy strange 1y. Now we'll just have to decide I~O | 1y~r, and we'll be ready to start whenever you say the word. Only now you must say a. preliminary word-do you want tea, coffee. chocolate, bouillon or lemonade, lady? I've two thermos bottles"
 "You choose one and I'll name the other,' I replied entering into spirit of hOlidaying which l felt Evvy was trying so hard to capture. "I'll take coffee, for mine.'
 ''pu have chocolate then" said Evvy. 'I hate soup and thin drinks like tea. see we're bound to get on. Coffee to stimulate us and chocolate to nourish us, as the doctor orders.'
 There was a note of bitterness in her voice which didn't escape me I filed it away for future reference, but decided against spelling the day by emphasizing any but happy phases of our party.
 It seemed odd to be riding in Evvy's little blue car-but no stranger than it had been to find myself in the big one. which had once been mine. Somehow the delft blue roadster and the midnight blue limousine seemed symbols of stages in my life. The little car suggested the first days of my marriage. It revived memories of the day when Evvy had broken h NaoJ he other horrible hour when Sheldon Blake had met his death as Evvy was starting out in the car, which I felt sure she'd never driven from that day to this.
 She took the highway in the op- posite direction from Dreamwold. This meant that we didn't have to

pass the embankment over which, Sheldon had gone to the end of hisI road We skinned along for rnilesI in the silence of understanding. Il basked in the warm, yet invigorat-l ing air and the brisk gold of thej sunshinee. After a time Evvy turn-I ed off the main road and began wind-| ing through a tangle of woods anal on to a little brook purIing down al sunny slope. Presently we came tol a spot that was warm and sunny, yeti utterly secluded. It was cup of greensward holding a pool of clear| water set in a circle of hills.
 Shall we get out here and roam a bit?' asked Evvy
 This would be a fine place forl our picnic,' agreed, and if we dol a bit of walking first we'll probably| bring better appetites to the feast.''
 Aimlessly we strolled around tor al while investigating the little haven of green. Suddenly and with an air of purpose, Evvy flung herself down on a slope and as I dropped beside her, caught my hand in hers. She look- ed like a, sad little child as she gazed up at me with pleading eyes.
 T want to ask a favor," she said. "A big favor. And if you don't grant it, Anne. it will hurt cruelty. Please be kind to me-
 She put her hand on her heart as she spoke and her gesture seemed
 "I want to ask a ravor,' she said hand upon her heart-the pallor of her face, stained by those hectic spots high on her cheeks, made me wonder if Evvy were getting ready to make something like a Hast request of me.
 I'll do anything can," I said with all the assurances I could put into the simple decelaration.
 ''You must do more," cried Evvy More than you think I have a- reasonable right to ask of you. You must stretch a point for me. Yous must not let pride, anything else, interfere. Promise, promise, Amer
 Almost hypnotized by the spirit of numb terror emanating from her wide eyes and the clammy coldness of her hand, I nodded.
 You won't refuse what ask,' mur- mured Evvy. Then she caught my hand to her lips and I could feel her tears, too.
 You know what a mess I've made of my life" she went on suddenly in a. tone which she steadied down to a. husky sweetness of her coquettish tones in the long ago and her dry little voice made me pity Evvy fully as much as her wasted body and her seeking eyes on fire with 1oinging. i've made a mess of my own life. tried to wreck Jim's. I came near smashing Neak-and Phoebe. And Sheldon died for me. Now, some things come up-som ething-I want to get away from here-away from my people trotting along with me. I've something want to do-to see through-and alone. It will help me forget, and start over. with a clean slate. My people are queer and--, conservative. They won't let me go unless I enlist Tom on my side. And that's where you come in. I'm afraid of Tom-afraid hell me. But Tom likes you. He ovays has. And he admires you. He wouldn't refuse anything you asked.
 "Oh, Anne, don't you see-how yot can help me?"

THE fOur-power Pacific treaty, IL
l. was asserted last week, would be
ratified by the senate, unless all signs
should fail. A margin of at least five
votes was predicted. 1t follows that
the other six pacts Of the armament
conference will be approved as mat

An agreement to vote was reached
Wednesday. 1t was farther agreed tc
take no more votes on amendments OF
reservations before the final vote, ane
to limit debate. It looked last week
Us If Senator Underwood, minority
leader, would come across with at
least eleven votes, instead of the eight
he was expected to deliver.
Early in the assault on the treaty
came the charges that the treaty haI
been framed by the British and Japa
nese; that secret negotiations had beer
concealed, and that the American dele
gates had been imposed upon. Secre
otary of State Hughes thereupon stated
that he wrote the treaty, that there
was no mystery about the treaty ant
!, that it was a good treaty. He wae'
4 modest about it and he was plain
spoken. His statement was made IL
the form of Il letter to Senator Unde-
wood of Alabama. one of the foI.4
American delegates, who as minOrit.
senate leader is charged with this
onerous job Of delivering ehougs
Democratic votes to assure the ratifica
tiOn OF the treaty. Secretary Hughc,,
said, among other things:
q 4. 1.-The treaty itself is very short ar
simple, and is perfectly clear. 1t re
quires no commentary. It's engage
ments are easily understood. and E..
ingenuity in argument or hostile crlk
cism can add to them or make the.
other or greater than its unequivocaf
language sets forth. There are no
secret notes or understandings.

authorship Is unimportant.. It was

year b greatest mileage OF concrete
roadr ever built in enc season BY any
county In tho United States. These
roads were built out OF the first bond
issue of $4,000 900 voted for a system
OF paved highways.
But the county needed over 400
miles OF paved main roads for rs en-
tire system and shortly after voting
Its first bond Issue. voted a second one
for s4,5oo.o00 to complete the system.
On February ~. the county highway
commission received proposals for
building les miles Of paved highways
under the second bond issue. and on
March l awarded the contract for this
additional mileage of portland cement
concrete roads.
The most interesting feature of this
whole situation Is tho fact that Mari

mileage OF concrete roads already built
under h first bond issue funds was
SO thoroughly satisfactory that there
was no question as to the ACCESSIBILITY
OF continuing TO build the county roads

fact that proposals were made for
