the lawyer, and waited to hear If he

modestly withdrew his own opinion

not condescend to inquire what 1t

"The sooner we bring this painful
scene to an end the better" she said.
Il shall be glad to avail myself of

Isabel bent her head, and kissed the
kind hand that still held hers. The
high spirit that was in her, inspired
by Lady Lydiard's example, rose
equal to the dreadful situation in
which she was placed.

covered her face with her handker-

and examined Japanese vase, with
out any idea in his mind Of what he
was looking at. Lady Lydiard had
gravely misjudged him in believing
him to be a heartless man.

touched him gently on the arm to
rouse his attention.

and had another look at the Japanese
vase.

HOW Colv1le, the county seat of
Stevens county, was named from an
old Hudson's Bay compny's fort, and
how Chewelah and other towns of the
county received their names is told
by Edmond 8. Meany, professor of
history at the University of Washing

Washington Historical Quarterly, in
Guiding nearly all the geographic
names of the state.
cheweIah.
According to Professor Meany, the
name Chewelah is said to mean a
small striped snake.
"There is an old Indian legend to
the effect that an old Indian chief
saw a snake reaching from east to
west, from mountain to mountain, and
so they called the place Chewelah,"
Professor Meany says. "In the sixties
a military post was placed there and
the old Indian name was accepted.
The creek has also received the
same name on recent maps. Captain
George B. Mcclellan of the railroad
surveying expedition, 1868, camped on
the stream and called 1t 'Kitsema-
whep.' Governor Stevens Of that

the Colville trail were Skechera-

mid among the furniture a pocketbook,
or cigar case, or a purse, or anything
else that happened to be at hand,
leaving the dog to find it, with his
keen sense of smell to guide him.
Doubly relieved by the fit and the
bleeding, Tommie's spirits had re-
yived, and he and Isabel had just be-
gun their game when Moody looked
INTO the room, charged with his ter
,'ible errand.
You're burning, Tommie, you're

:lapping her hands. The next moment

Not word was exchanged between
Lady Lydiard and Mr.. Troy in the
text room. In the complete stiffness
that prevailed the dog was heard
shifting and fidgeting about the furni

For Gods sake, spare her, my lady!"
he whispered. The lawyer heard him.
NO" said Mr.. Troy. "Be merciful,
and tell her the truth"
He spoke to woman who stood in
no need of his advice. The inherent
nobility in Lady Lydiards nature was
reused; her great heart offered itself
patiently to any sorrow, to any sacri-
flee.
Putting her arm round Isabel-half
caressing her. half supporting her
Lady Lydiard accepted the whole re-
sponsibility and told the whole truth.
Keeling under the first shock, the
poor girl recovered herself with ad-
mirable courage. She raised her head
and eyed the lawyer without uttering
word. In its artless consciousness
of innocence the look was nothing
less than sublime. Addressing herself
to Mr.. Troy, Lady Lydiard pointed
to Isabel. do you see guilt there?"
she asked.
Mr.. Troy made no answer. In the
melancholy experience of humanity to
which his profession condemned him,
he had seen conscious guilt assume
the face of innocence, and helpless
innocence admit the disguise of guilt;
the keenest observation in either case
failing completely to detect the truth.
Lady Lydiard misinterpreted his sill
ence as expressing the sullen self as
sertion of heartless man. She turned
from him In contempt, and held out
her hand to Isabel
"Mr. Troy is not satisfied yet" she
said, bitterly. "My love, take my hand,

According to an estimate made
from an Industrial and Social Sur
vey issued in. September, 1929, by
NJ T. Tchou, ofthe National In
dustrial Department of the Y. NJ.
C. A, the percentage of women en-
ployed in industry is Is per cent,
and the number Of children under
fourteen is 20 per cent.
''The prospect of those thous-
sands of women and children being
drawn into an Industrial system
without adequate protection, from
legislation or public opinion is ap-
palling. The condition under which
the individual worker in China
lives and works corresponds to
those existing in England 100 years
ago, aggravated by the unusual

the elaborate machinery from the
West.

which met in Shanghai in Mey,
1922, recognized the need Cor a
labor standard for China and en-
dorsed the setting as a goal OF the
standard adopted at the First In
ternational Conference of the
League of Nations dealing with
hours Of work, unemployment, en-.
ployment of children, night work

ing the health of workers; but in
view of the difficulty of immediate
application of that standard to the
industrial situation in China the
following standards were adopted
and will be promoted by the
Church:
al. No employment of children
under twelve years of age.
''2. One days rest in seven.

health of workers.
