He showed pictures of giant cata-

territory, and, as a means of impress
ing upon the audience the greatness
of the natural treasures of America,
compared them with pictures of simi-
lar work Of nature in other countries.
Pointing out many of natures
wonders in America, Mr. Riley ex-

Deplores Forest Depletion.
Mr.. Riley deplored the fact that
the wonderful forests of that coun-
try are being cut down five times
as fast as they possibly can grow.
TT takes 900 years for some of the
giant trees to grow and only takes
twenty-five minutes to cut them
down." he said. ''This nation will
be as naked of trees in fifty years
as is Palestine or Spain unless radi-
cal steps are taken toward forest
preservation" He showed pictures
of trees which were twelve feet in
diameter at the base.
Included in the lantern slides were
pictures of glaciers, and lakes formed
from them, in the craters of old vol
canoes, beautiful boulevards, streams
and flowers, some of which grow Oh
the sides Of mountains a thousand or
more feet above the bottom of the
snow line.
The pictures shown were the re-
suit of many years of travel and
mountain climbing. Mr.. Riley spoke
before members of Congress Monday

Swamp-Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or tho
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be Respondent; it makes any
one SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for a sample bottle to SEQ
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.

above, and her thoughts could rove at
will without prospect of being inter-
rupted. The road by which she en-
tered the cup was the road by which
any intruder must enter it. 1t was
also, as Zen was suddenly to discover,
the only road by which one could es-
cape.
1t was upon the afternoon when
Truth confronted Dennison Grant in
his furrow that Zen made that discov-
cry. Her self-imposed tasks COM
fruit stains from her hands. changed
her frock. and took the now familiar
trail up to the quarry. "Tll be back
in an hour" she told Sarah I'm go
ing to the quarry just to loaf and in
wife my SOUL" The quotation was
lost upon Sarah, who took refuge in
her gift of silence.
At point where the road rose high
enough to command view of the sur
rounding valley she stopped and swung
a slow, half-guilty glance to the south
ward. There, sure enough, was the
pillow team of Dennison Grant, warping
Its slow shuttle back and forth across
the brown prairie. For long minute
she FED her eyes and her heart; then
resumed her slow course to the quarry
Inside the great cup she was con-
scious Of sense Of security.
Zen seated herself in half reclln-
ing position on great slab of rock |
and fell Into daydream, watching
the while with unseeing eyes the pro-
cession Of white clouds which drove
across the disc Of blue sky above her.
Perhaps it was because of the posi-
ton which she had taken, or her I'M
conscious study of the sky, that she
caught no hint of the presence Of a
man at. the point where the road en-
tered the quarry. From an ambush Of
willow scrub he had seen her stop and
survey the fields where Dennison
Grant was at work, and had followed
her steaithily down the trail which led

Then Truth stood up before him in

and called him hypocrlte. He heard
the voice as clearly as the champing
of his horses on their bits. "Hypo-

you continue to love-Zen Transley !"

Phyllis needed prompt settlement. II
afforded a means to burn his bridges

situation was one that could be ex-
plained--to Phyllis.
He had told himself, back In those

real reason was that he had allowed
himself to hope, against all reason.

and called 1t virtue. Well-the die
was cast. He had definitely given Zen
up. He would tell Phyllis everything.
That Is, everything she needed
to know.
1t would be best to settle It at once
the sooner the better. He went to
his desk and took out writing paper.
He addressed note to Phyllis. pom

This done he turned to the tele-
