The Inquest
ITO many times Chickie had
IN glanced at her face in the
u mirror and. flushing to find
herself so radiant, had gone sing
ing through the hall; had kissed
Jennie with such a princess grace.
Jennie was so shy and pleased; so
proud of this, their pretty one. Her
eyes had often filled, just for the
tenderness. Wondrous to have that
slim, bright creature coming and
going in a little cottage like this
loving them
Chiclde knew her mothers
thought, read 1t well.
And today, pulling veil over her
hat, she paused. oh, shame is hard
to take; lard to bend a head that
has been hlsh. Jennie felt 1t so.
That was the hing that hurt; that
went into Chickie's lifeless heart and
stirred the chords to pain.
She stood beside her mother and
felt so crushed she didn't even raise
her hand. She waited with dry
eyes and whitened lips.
Slow, heavy tears ran to Jennie's
chin. Her hand, soft now, but thin,
crept to Chickie's shoulder, brought
Chiche's head down. 1t was like
sobbing the way she said: Allah
Chicde, dear
"Good-oy-well, good-by, moth
err
Jennie chung to her.
Chickie begged. "Oh, mother,
don't" and dropped the veil about
her face.
Then Jennie cried and stood half
hidden at the door and didn't wait
till they were gone. but closed it
softly. Closed it softly as one who
has a thing to hide and cannot bear
the friendly morning SUM- Jennie
felt shame-shame for her, the
bright and pretty one
And Chickie knew 1.-THE pang
went deep like a blade turning and
turning in a secret wound.
When she let herself all huddle
down in He corner of the sheriff
automobile, Jonathan patted her
hands. He sat erect and said so
gently: "No, now-Chickie, girl"
But she thought and bowed with
the thought: Jennie is ashamed"
Oh, she hadn't waited; hadn't
watched them go. She had closed
the door so softly. Fearing faces at
other doors; fearing curious glances
and eyes peeking from windows.
In the morning pape- 1t was blaz-
oned out. Helena Bryce had a child
and II was dead. They were taking
her back to see why it should die;
why she had run away

PUTTING FLAGSTAFF OUT
ON A BRANCH ROAD

A new route has been opened to
Navajo and Apache county people to
the Verde valley and Yavapai county,
with the completion Of the Fossil
Creek highway from Pine to Camp
Verde, Clarkdale, Cottonwood and Je-
rome. The new highway is already
being used by daily stage service
from Globe to Jerome, via Pine and
Payson.
Mrs. John Lazar, who came this
week from Pine to Winslow to make
her home, came by way of the new
road, and is enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of travel from, this city to
the Tonto Basin. Heretofore, when
residents of Pine or Payson had busi-
ness in the winter time, when the road
from this city to Strawberry Hill was
closed by snow, had to go to Phoe-
nix, by way of Roosevelt Dam and the
Apache Trail, then to Ashfork and
Winslow by train. Now a resident of
Pine can go by stage to Clarkdale,
and catch the train there. The trip
can now be made in one day, instead
of two, as was necessary before

Cool but sunny weather prevailed
during the week over the entire dis
trict. While there were short periods
of windy weather they occurred usual
ly in the afternoon when the tempera-
lures were such as to cause little dis
comfort to stock. Owing to the abb
sence of precipitation feed has lost
little of its nutriment and stock is
consequently holding. up well and

supply of stock water in all sections
is reported. Except where there is

ASK COOLIDGE TO
BAN RIVER WORK

any part of the Colorado river before
the seven-state compact for division
of its waters among basin states, is
ratified, was made to President Cool
idge Monday by congressional dele-
gates from Colorado, Utah, New Mex

told that the upper basin states are
firmly opposed to any proposal such
as the Boulder Canyon power project,
which would tend to develop the lower
section of the river before water
rights Of the upper region are safe
guarded by compact.
The view was expressed that every
effort should be made to bring about
ratification of the compact by all
states effected.

chilly weather. Wheat and barley for
winter pasturage is doing well in
southern valleys.
Orange picking has made excellent
progress in the Salt River valley and
only a small percentage of an un-
usually large crop remains on the
trees. Thus far frosts have had but
little effect on peas, lettuce and young
citrus stock. Lettuce has been favor

In hot weather the human body
makes an extraordinary effort to adapt
itself TO conditions and meet the strain
placed upon it. Violent oyerheating

hours causes the body TO throw off

words. the perspiratlon secreted in a

Fierce Shower
COOls Atmosphere

Four days of intense summer heat
eliminated late Saturday afternoon in
one of she heaviest downfalls of rain
that Waterville has experienced for
some time. The shower was of short
duration and was not accompanied by
the furious gale which visited the sur
rounding towns. The day had been the
hottest of the heat wave, thermom-
eters throughout the city recording
temperatures of 95 or more degrees
above zero.
The storm in the country around
Waterville did much damage, bring
ing with it a wind of great velocity
which tore limbs from trees, broke
windows and awnings and blew from
piazzas chairs and other furnishings.
Thunder and lightning added to the
fury of the tempest and several in
stances where the lightning had struck
were reported, especially in Fairfield
and Oakland.
Many people who had fed to Bel
grade Lakes to escape the heat were
caught unprepared by the heavy show
er. The wind rose with an astonish-
ing rapidity and whipped the water
into a roughness that is seldom seen
Those who were on the lakes in boats
were In considerable danger and made
hastily for land. Innumerable trees
were torn from their roots and many
cottages were damaged.
Motorists who took trips yesterday
noticed that the wind had worked
havoc all over central Maine and IN
places entire orchards had been ruined
After the shower the skies did not
clear and rain fell intermittently
through the. night. Yesterday gray
clouds hovered over the city and II
was so cool that top coats were gen
orally worn.

Ranking first in his class is no
mean accomplishment for any young
man but this is the honor that
George Tapley has attained. Tap

for the fall term Tapley's name
headed the list OF seniors. And ever
since he has been highest in the
class, always quiet and modest Tap
ley is a fine type of student and this

used him on the second team where
he earned quite a reputation for
himself. AS a reward he was taken
on several trips and IL he were
eligible for another year of sports he
would surely be one of ire regular
hurlers. Tapley plans to take post
graduate work at Coburn next year.

Last Senior Chapel
Held at Colby

The time-honored custom of obsery-
ing the last senior chapel exercises
was conducted on Saturday morning at
Colby College when both divisions of
the coHege met in Memorial chapel
garbed in regulation academic dress
of cap and gown. The services were
very impressive throughout with the
members of the graduating class at
tending for the last time in their col
iege career the morning chapel serv-
ices.
Prof. Ernest c. Mariner, librarian
of the college, gave the annual address
to the members of the graduating
class in which he urged his audience
to constantly watch for things that
were right and distinguish them from
the things which only appear to be
right. Prof Mariner also spoke
about the entirely different conditions
which one finds in life after graduat-
ing from a college.
The exercises were opened with a
prayer by the class chaplain, Howard
B. Tuggey of Pittsfield, Mass, after
which Miss Ethel A. Childs of Water
vile read passages from the Scrip
lures. Prof. Mariner was introduced
as the speaker by Russell NJ. Squire,
president of the graduating class.
After the chapel services the seniors
followed out the ancient custom of
marching around to all of the college
buildings and cheer them as a parting
tribute. The members of the senior
class then left and majority of them
left Waterville for their short vaca-
ton, which extends throughout this
week while the three under classes
have their final examinations. The
members of the graduating class will
not return until Saturday of this
week. when the 105th annual COM
mencement exercises begin.
