AT TWILIGHT.

As the twilight shadows gather, and
the evening stat appears,
There's heart that's filled with long
ing, and two eyes are moist with
tears.
Eyes that see a world of sorrow, sea
sorrow that is sweet,
Days of love of some tomorrow, love
that makes the world complete.
With a soul thae begs communion with
a soul so far away,
And a love that Graves a fusion Of the
love of yesterday.
In the hour of dimming shadows, sha.
dows that dispel the light,
Hearts in love tell silent secrets to the
silence of the night.
And they beg and plead in silence,
lifting eyes in mute appeal.
Laying love their souls in anguish. all
its secrets to reveal.
Pleading to an unseen power, that
Great Power from above.
For mating of their passions, for
an outlet, to their love.
Thus in silence have / pleaded, in the
shadows of the night,
For a love from one who's loving, never
wavers, seeking flight.
One who's passions, fiercely burning,
Graves vision of our love,
Longing for the time IF mating, lay

morning Brcndon proceeded to Ply
mouth and directed a strenuous
and close inquiry. But he knew
well enough that he was probably
too late and judged with certainty
that if robert Redmayne still lived,
he would no longer be in England
Next he returned to Princetown,
that he might go over the ground
again, even while approaching the
futility of so doing. But the rou-
tine had to be observed. The i'm
pressions of naked feet On the sand
were carefully protected. They proved
too indefinite to be distinguished, but
he satisfied himself THAI. they rep

il not three. He remembered that
Robert Redmayne had spoken of bath
ing in the pools and he strove to
prove three seperate pairs of feet, bu.
could not.
Inspector Halfyard. who had fol-
lowed the case as closely as it was
possible to do so, cast all blame on
Bendigo, the brother of the vanished
assassin.
HE delayed Of set purpose"
vowed Halfyard, ''and them two
days may make just all the differ
ence. Now the murderer's in France,
if not Spain"
Full particulars have been cir
culated," explained Brendon. but the
inspector attached no importance to
that fact

This is no ordinary runaway how

I'm that case he'd have been

what was simple before more and
more puzzle in my opinion.
don't believe that the man was mad.
L believe he was and is all there.
and that being so. you've got to be-
gin over again, Brendon, and find
why he did it. Once grant that this
was a deliberately planned murder
and mighty sight cleverer than il
looked at first sight, then you've got
to ferret back into the past and find
what motives Redmayne had for do
ing it,"
But Brendon was not convinced.
Il can't agree with you," he an
swered. '1've already pursued that
theory, but it is altogether too fan
tastic. We know, from impartial
testimony. that the men were the
best of friends up TO the moment
they left Princetown together on
Redmayne's motor bicycle the night
of the trouble"
What impartial testimony? You
can't call Mrs. Pendean's evidenc,
"Why not? 7 feel very certain
that it is; but I'm speaking now of
what I heard at Paignton from Mis-.
Flora Reed. who was engaged to
Robert Redmayne. She said that her
bethrothed wrote indicating his COM
plete change of opinion, and he also
told her that he had asked his niece
and her husband to Paignton for the |
regattas.

Brendon found his thoughts Who'll
ly occupied with Jenny Pendean.
Was it within the bounds of posi-
bility that she, as time passed to din
her suffering and sense of loss, might
look twice. at this extraordinary be-
ing? He wondered, but thought it
improbable. Moreover the last of the
Dorias evidently aimed at greater posi-
ton and greater wealth than Michael
Pendean's widow had to offer. Mark
found himself despising the extra
ordinary creature, who violated so
frankly and cheerfully every English
standard of reserve and modesty. Yet
the others self-possession and sense of
his own value in the market impressed
him.
He was glad TO give Doria five
shillings and leave him at the land

haunted his imagination. One might
dislike his arrogance, or rejoice in
his physical beauty, but to escape his
vitality and the electric force of him
was impossible. ~. .at s.,l 81. ....s

WORTHWHILE SENTIMENT"

Mississippi River-rnuch can be said on
both sides. Consider, for example
Houston street. On one side of Houston
street lies Losoya; on the other side
I; lie Avenue c, River Avenue and Broad
way.
At recent meeting Of the city COM
mission much was said on the side OF
Broadway; many men joined in the say
ing of it. At the same meeting one man
took the side of Losoya; hut though he
spoke only a few words, comparatively
he said as much as, if not more than,
the many who took the side of Broad
way.
Nonninally it was clash between
business" and Sentiment" The Broad
way partisans, championing business
as opposed to Sentiment" sought to
disparage the name Losoya by saying
that once upon time (they have. then,
taken some cognizance of San Antonio's
traditions) there lived in this quaint
city a Captain Losoya who chow scan
dalousD was taniale maker and ven
der. What had this Captain Losoya
ever done for San Antonio that street
should be named for him? Why, he had
made and dispensed tamales, of course.
But maybe that should be kept dark {;
the outside world shouldn't be permit
ted to know that the tamale is one Of
our oldest institutions: o. Henry should
be suppressed, or expurgated, or some
thing.
Business-that's the ticket! Once upon
time, perhaps, there was a Captain
Dolorosa, or a Sergeant Soledad. Their
antecedents ought to be looked into.
Then there's Flores, and Presa, and
Romano, and Navarro, and Guadalupe,
and Frio, and Navidad, and Nogalitas,
and Buena Vista, and Menchaca, and
Perez, and Zarzamora, and many an
other queer sounding name. How come?
Shouldn't all of these names be chang
ed for the sake of business"
Then there's the Alamo; wouldn't it
be good idea to change its name
or perhaps tear down the old building
itself? If there should be any objec-
ton to that proposition then why not
change "Alamo Street" to avenue D.?
Coming down to vital realities, it is
to be feared that the champions of "busi-
ness" as opposed to Sentiment have
overlooked one OF San Antonios great
est assets. Suppose all the quaint, pic
turesque names identified with this city
should be displaced by modern" names
names that could be more easily spelled
and pronounced by tourists. Then
something would be missing-some-
thing that has made San Antonio dis
tinctive wherever its name and its char
acteristics are known. That something
is of inestimable value to the business
men of San Antonio.
If Losoya Street was named for a
man who once made and purvcyed ia
males in the old, romantic days of San
Antonio's history, when Iosoya was but
COW trail, then so much the better
that tradition would make the name
highly appropriate now. II San Antonio
is ashamed of her traditions, then there
are many things here whose names
should be quickly changed; things that
have been associated with "San Antonio
since time beyond memory.

theless, when the millions had been dc
stroyed on the battlefields, and til,
billions in debts had been piled up. ther,
was universal rejoicing at the end tina
it was the end. There would be nc
more wars.
! The month OF August has come around
again after a nine years lapse. Less
than tive years have passed since the
day of the great armistice. What is the
situation in Europe today? Is there a
statesman now alive who will forefend
that war is not TO come again, and that
| it is not now in motion? Germany is
passing through welter of disorder,
caused, apparently by national bank
ruptcy, with a powerful French army
standing over her, with Great Britain,
the late ally of France, warning her to
quit the Ruhr. or else to witness the
complete breakdown OF Europe She
definitely charges that France has de-
stroyed the Versailles peace pact. after
this short lapse. and that she is endeavor-
ing to bestride Europe in no less fashion
than in Bonapartcs time. There can be
no other possible deduction from the
Curzon note.
France apparently does not intend to
draw back. and Great Britain having
taken her stand, is not likely to recedc
from the. position her cabinet has taken,
after so long wait. in the hope that
diplomacy might avert the cataclysn.
Can Europe ever mend her ways:
Must she go on fighting. as in the middle
ages, until she reverts to half savagery?
The responsibility of France is grave,
indeed if the blame is to attach to her,
for a renewal of the European struggle.
Her parliamentarians and her people
cannot be blind to the effect which such
course will have upon her future, as
she viii be called upon to fight her bat
tie alone, with such aid as Belgium may
or may not extend to her. Belgium has
Tor long depended Upon Great Britain TO
defend her national status. Great Britain
based her declaration of war, in 1914,
upon the invasion OF Belgium by Ger
man armies. Italy has declared that
she stands alongside the English in this
juncture. America will certainly not
make another venture in Europe in this
generation. France is. depending today,
largely upon her black African troops
for the occupation of the Ruhr. In
what direction can France turn for
allies, and can she even protect her
African possessions. ii she is finally to
break with Britain?
That France can overrun Germany
there can be no question. Her armies
will permit her to do so. Such a course.
however, will not give her the reparation
payments she insists upon, as bank
rupt cannot pay his debts, while in pris-
on. If she contemplates becoming re-
ceiver general for nation OF seventy
million people. she will fail, as all his
tory has proven. If, however, in at
tempting to invade all OF Germany. her
recent European allies 60 no more than
Germany is now attempting to do. that
is, by employing passive resistance.
France will even now. lose the war,
which she and her allies so gloriously
won for her.

LABOR BOARD STAY
Sante Fe President Assails
Tendency to Amend Trans

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 23-Asserting the
transportation act to be the tirst
really constructive measure ever
adopted by Congress to meet the rail-
road situation w. B. Storey. presi
dent of the Sante Fe Railroad, speak
ing before the National Industrial Coun-
Gil, declared any tampering with the
act would only delay the recovery of
the roads and the return of the day
when they will be able to. furnish
maximum service.
President Storey took issue with
President Hardings proposal to abol-
ish the labor board and place its
work with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. declaring the commits
sion to be overloaded now. The out
come of the shipments strike and
other cases have greatly strength
ened the labor board, he said. and
predicted that it's opinions here
after will have greater weight.
Oppose Any Charge.
Many are urging repeal of the
vital parts of the transportation act,
Mr. Storey said. but we do not want
of the act have shown things about
1t that could possibly be changed
TO advantage, but in the main we
still believe it is the best act that
has been placed on the books.
There is growing sentiment that
quarrels between the railroad and
their employees shall not interrupt
transportation. We believe the Labor
Board is a distinct influence in thfs
direction. 1t is true it has no teeth
and that it did not prevent the shop
mems strike last summer, but l
would point out that the outcome of
the shopmen's strike has greatly
strengthened the Labor Board and its
opinions are apt. hereafter to have
much greater weight with the men.
1t is our feeling that the law
should be given a longer trial before
amendment. We think we can work
our way out of our present difficult
ties under this law. and we feel GER
tain that we shall get into more
trouble if it is ttnkered with.
Throw your weight and influence
against the radical measures that
are cropping up on every side. and
i proimse you that we will work
our way out. The business of the
country is moving in tremendous
volume; we are coming nearer and
nearer to handling il satisfactorily.
and ii the volume keeps up we hope
TO come out financially on the right
side of the ledger for the year

him, as do some other states. How
