times before his little mistress came
home. Larry Bishop had gone to his

In nervous tension Polly watched the
clock crawl along toward the hour of
the meeting between Oscar and Evelyn.
About quarter to nine, she stole out
of doors.
BY familiar paths, slipping past a
shanty here and there Pollyop came
at length upon lonely shack set
ON point by itself. She went around
to the back, opened the door, and once
within the room touched a match to a
small candle which she had taken
from her pocket, and sat down quietly.
When Oscar Bennett stepped into the
hut, he uttered an oath. He was not
expecting to see Polly Hopkins.
"My lady won't come, eh?' he de-
manded gruffly.
"Oh, she's comm all right" an
swered Polly, "but she were afraid.
So 1 came along to see she got home
safe"
A loud laugh fell from Benefits
lips.
YOU'RE clever kid, Pollyop," he
said, more affably. Cunning as a
weasel, Id If you aint! Sit down. 1

Polly squatted on the floor by the
old table; and Oscar eased himself
gingerly down onto a rickety bench.
Il bet she was scared pink at what
l told you to tell 'er," he burst out af-
ter a while. "She's about the most
lily-livered woman l ever saw"
For the space of few seconds Polly
looked at the speaker. Then:
"Tm thinkin' she amt lovin' you no
more, Oscar, an n woman without love
in her amt worth nothin'."
There was no smile on the lovely
face when the words were finished.
She had spoken the truth, and Oscar

SENATOR YEAMAN Sees
PROSPERITY, POLITICS

There will be both politics and
prosperity in Idaho this year, ac-
cording to a statement to The Idaho
Statesman at Boise Sunday by Sen
ator M. B. Yeaman of Idaho Falls,
who was in the capital city to attend
the Lincoln Day banquet.
The senator said:
This coming campaign is going to
be real One," remarked the senator
conditions agriculturally, CONNER
cialfy and financially are coming
back to normal almost as fast as they
slumped and / look forward to a
mighty prosperous year. Wheat and
sheep in our section are on the up
ward tendency. Wheat jumped Z
cents Thursday. The woOlgrowers of
our section formed pool Thursday
last with 100000 pounds of wool for
which the growers confidently expect
to get from 81 to 33 cents pound.
These growers won't put any price on
sheep, because the total number is
so per cent under normal I heard
that a man offered $40 head for
breeding ewes last week, which was
refused"
Senator Yeaman said the potato
growers from Blackfoot to st. An
thony had planned to organize Fri
day, the day he left These growers
handle about 10000 cars gross. Their
idea, the senator said, is to plan a
marketing system. The decision to
organize, he said, is due to the objec-
ton of the growers to the grading
rules of the state department Of agri
culture.

BLAME AMERICAN pep
FOR Berlin ACCIDENTS

Berlin-(A. P)-The fact that
street accidents in Berlin have in
creased 900 percent since 1913 has
led to the suggestion that one of the
causes may be the apparent effort to
put American pep into the city's
everyday life. One newspaper writer
asserts Berliners have become too
busy to greet friends in passing, that
spirit of hustle is disturbing the gen
eral routine, and that the citizens on
the whole are growing nervous. He
depreciates "the attempt to make Ber-
lin street life look like Forty Second
Street and Broadway
Official reports say most Of the ac-
'cidents are due to speeding automo-
biles and careless pedestrians, 'who
step off the sidewalks and walk the
streets in every direction without
once looking to see if they are in the
way Of vehicular traffic"
There is no ordinance regulating
pedestrian traffic. Even at the more
crowded intersections the people
cross the streets at will, taking their
chances with the automobiles, street
cars, omnibuses, trucks, and horse
cabs.
There are no traffic policemen in
the Teuton metropolis, but it has been
decided to establish such a force In
the meantime the Security police"
are doing this duty.

the police, who ride in squad forma-
