fought against it In the canoe; it
had mastered him in those thrill
ing moments when he had beheld
this slim, beautiful creature rid
ing fearlessly into the boiling
waters of the Holy Ghost. Her
eyes, her hair, the sweet low
voice that had been with him In
his fever, had become a definite
and unalterable part of him. And
this must have shown in his eyes
and face when he dropped his
hand-when she told him she
was St. Pierre's wife.
And now she was afraid of him!
She was regretting that she had
not left him to die. She had mis-

and had told him that she was

wife!

himself in the position Of the

pools of gratitude as they looked
at grizzled old McVane: blazing
fires of venomous hatred when
they turned on him. And he had
said to McVane.
"The man pays, the woman
goes-justice indeed is blind!''
McVane, not being stickler
on regulations when 1t came to
Carrigan, had made no answer.
The incident came back vividly
to David as he waited for the
promised coming of Bateese. He
began to appreciate McVane's
point OF view. and it was com
forting, because he realized that
his own logic was assailable.
If McVane had been comparing
the two women now, he knew
what his argument would be.
There had been no absolute proof
OF crime against Carmin Fanchet
unless to fight desperately for
the life Of her brother was a
crime.
In the case of Jeanne Marie
Anne Boulain there was proof.
She had tried to kill. Therefore,
of the two, Carmin Fanchet
would have been the better
woman in the eyes Of McVane.
In spite of the legal force Of
the argument which he was bring
ing against himself, David felt
unconVinced. Carmfn Fanchet.
had she been in the place Of st.
Pierre's wife, would have finished
him there in the sand. She
would have realized the menace
Of letting him live and would
probably have commanded Bateese
to dump him In the river.
st. Pierre's wife had gone TO
the other extreme. She was not
only repentant, but was making
The Washington times., 1926-09-25

from the viewpoint Of Jeanne
Marie.Anne Boulain. He was
satisfied that she had made a
desperate mistake and that until
the last moment she had believed
1t was another man behind the
rock. Yet she had shown no In
clination to explain away her
error, She had definitely refused
to make an explanation. And 1t
was simply a matter Of common
sense to concede that there must
be a powerful motive for her re-
fusal. There was but one con-
clusion for him to arrive at-the
error which st. Pierre's wife had
made in shooting the wrong man
was less important to her than
keeping the secret Of why she
wanted to kill some other man.
David was not unconscious Of
the breach in his own armor. He
had weakened, just as the super.
intendent OF "N' division had
weakened that day four years ago
when they had almost quarreled
over CarInin Fanchet.
''I'll swear to Heaven she isn't
bad. no matter what her brother
has been," McVane had said.

LOW PRODUCING

CUT FROM FLOCK
Lower Wool and Mutton Prices
This Year Make CuIling Inn
perative, Says Mr.. Waddell

With lower wool prices in pros
pect for this springs clip and the
possibility that sheep have passed
their peak prices, R. L Waddell, live
stock specialist fer the Montana
State College Extension service, is
directing attention to the great need
OF culling low producing ewes f1Om
the flock. Nh. Waddell points out
that during times of high prices even
i2ht shearing sheep may bring a lit
tie money but when prices start TO
recode the weight of the fleece quick
~ becomes the determining factor
for profit or loss.
To illustrate that the average fleece
weight can be materially increased by
cuiling low shearers, Mr.. Waddell
cites q recent experiment in a neigh
boring state. Starting with a band
of 1,545 sheep in 1923, the weighing
Of fleeces at shearing time showed
241 sheep with fleeces below the Z
pound standard. In 1924 there were
1851 head in the flock, the standard
wcS raised to rs pounds and ITO fell
below this mark. In 1925 the stand
ard was raised to eight pounds and
in the band of 1912 sheep, $50 pro-
duced less than the standard. The
average fleece weights for the three
years were 80 pounds, 9.87 pounds
and 80 pounds. The total wool pro-
duced each year was 1885 pounds
in 1923, 16,3O9.2 pounds in 1924, and
1902 pounds in 1925. In 1923
there were $50 sheep which sheared
more than 10 pounds, the next year
there were 461 above the ~10-pOund
mark and last year I'll sheep were in
the 1C-pound class.
Mr. Waddell points out that while
the weight of the fleece may be due
to several factors, the length of fleece
is usually the important element.
Not only does the shorter wool pro
ducc the lighter fleece, but it brings
less per pound than longer wool.
When fine combing, which is the trade
term for long staple wool, brings
from $1.2O to S1,25 per pound on a
secured basis, fine clothing, which is
the short wool, brings from $1.1O to
$i.I2 rer pound.
These are the factors which sheep
men must consider closely at the
present time, Mr. Waddell advises.
The average weight of fleeces and
length of staple can be materially
Increased by weighing all fleeces at
@shearing time, branding all ewes that
fall below the seven-pOund standard
and shipping the low shearers to mar
ket.

COAL

The sudden termination Of the
strike in the anthracite mines re-
moved che of the major sources of
anxiety respecting the immediate
future of business in this country,
according to the current issue of the
Guaranty Survey, published by the
Guaranty Trust company of New
York.
Although the cutting off of the
supply Of hard ccal presented no seri-
Gus threat of a shortage of industrial
fuel, a total suspension of operations
in an industry of such magnitude
could not fail to exert an adverse in
fluence in many directions. The
strenuous efforts of business men and
others in the anthracite area to bring
about a settlement on any terms the
parties to the controversy could be
induced to accept indicated the far
reaching effects that inevitably fol
low industrial paralysis in any i'm
p~ortant line.
Concessions on Both Sides
The terms of the agreement repre-
sent concessions by both sides, the
Survey continues. In its main fea-
lures, the plan represents as con-
structive a solution Of the problem as
] could have been expected. It permits
a resumption Of operations without
an advance in the costs of mining and
without the Objectionable expedient
of public intervention or control. It
provides, moreover, a method of ar
bitration ingenuouslv devised to Sc
cure impartiality and to make further
suspensions within the five-year peri
cd, if not impossible, at least highly
improbable.
It should be noted, however, thai
the increase in the personnel of thC
board of arbitration in the event q
a deadlock is optional. In order II
effect such an increase, both mem
bers Of the original board would hav,
to agree on the new appOintee or ap
pointees. 1t is reasonable to supposu
that the member opposing the modi
; fications under discussion would vot
J against the increase, thus presenting
the adoption Ct the proposed chang
by a majority vote. To this exten
the plan fails to provide an absolut
guarantee against the possibility 0
strikes.
Effects on Bituminous Mining
The suspension cf operations in tn
anthracite mines has naturally result
ed in a sharp increase in the COZ
sumption of substitute fuels. Anon
these the most important are til
higher grades of bituminous coal, IL

the soft-coal industry. The old prob.
