| less on his bed and Pamela waiting
But, with fall, things changed. It
brought relief to Judge Crichton, who

the world to Pamelas boy, so tenderly

Not long after that the Kermit VaneS
began to set their house In order. Trav-

Kermit was sure it could be done. For

where they knew him and were fond OF
him and Brittany was healthy, and,
| after a little, they would go on. He
meant to take her to places on the
| tourist map, at seasons which ne had
himself discovered to be beautiful.
NTARGERY VANE returned, full OF
~ experience. She said that it was
wonderful, the things you saw and
learned In a trip like that. And you
were so comfortable. They hardly
spent a night off the boat for the first
| six months, and then the hotels looked
after your things so well that you had
nothing to worry over and really didn't
need to know foreign languages any
more, because the world was becoming
so cosmopolitan that every one under
stood what Americans needed when
they travelled. She wished every one
had been along, and especially Pamela.
In fact, she made call on Pamela the
very day after she came back.
How thin you are, Pam!"

It's my night sessions with the heir, l
suppose"
"Too bad nothing" Pam told her,

IT should think you could have

Pam.

can't appreciate what comfort Is until
you take q trip like that and realize
that now you can go to all sorts OF
strange places and still live practically
as you would at home"
Pamela didn't say anything. What
was the use?
But you're going to have trip, too,
I hear. Jack met Kermit on the street
and heard that you were going away
in May For long?"

hope you'll get bookings on the Colossal.

he's not leaving me much money-just
about enough to go on. He feels I've

that Jack and Jacks children deserve
the fortune. He's settled 1t now on Jack
so there's no chance he could change
his mind, as he explained. He was

bridegroom, especially when he learned
that Mr.. Vane had reduced his nephew's
income to very modest one. Decia

hind her. They were to be married in
March and sail the first week in April
for an indefinite trip around the
world, as soon as Decia arrived.
It was not Decia who came three
days after Pamela's wedding, as they
waited for her. 1t was telegram from

The citizens Of Fredericksburg financ-
ed the effort to raise the money so that
all receipts could be applied directly
to the purchase of the property. The
first check Of $1,000 was given by I. N.
Lewis of Lewis machine gun fame, the
second by Mrs. Alfred Dupont. The
owner OF the property, E. G. Hefiin gave
$4,000, and on September /, 1922, four
months after the initiation of the drive,
the first $4,000 on the property was
paid, and the Kenmore Association,
which mad been formed and incorpor-
ated by the women Of Fredericksburg
took title to the historic estate. In
less than three years the balance of the
$4,000 had been raised by subscrip-
ton from more than 1000 contributors.
On January /, 1925, group gathered
beneath the mantel designed by George
Washington and paid the last $1,000
note, making Kenmore the property OF
the association, to be preserved and
dedicated in perpetuity to the memory
of George Washington, in whose affec-
tions 1t stood second only to Mount
Vernon. The latter he had not yet
inherited when Kenmore was built.

saved Kenmore, Is now engaged in the

TT was summer, hot, baked-dry day
= Pamela came downstairs with her
brown curls clinging to her forehead as
Kermit came in. He looked tired, his
forty years written clearly on his face
during this hot weather.
There's iced tea and fresh mint In

couragingly.

should have another nurse for him.
That's silly. We, can't possibly af-

when everything's over, we'll take our

Pamela.
He went out to the dining room, in
search of the tea, and Pamela sent a
measuring glance after him. She knew
how dreadful this whole situation must
be for him, stuck here with so little
money and a wife and his father-in-law
helpless with paralysis, and baby
coming. It frightened Pamela. Some
times she wondered what went on I'M
der his courteous acceptance of things
as they were, and whether it was not
just kindness that kept him from telling
her how he hated it. He must hate it.
He didn't belong here. But there was
nothing to be done about 1t. Except to

come to that with Pamela, six months
after her marriage. But she had no
notion how it was with Kermit.

low with his speaking until mid
August and then rise to attract
attention by taking a verbal poke
at Mr.. Hartley. His game is to
keep it looking like q Hartley
Bullitt fight.
They are making it look, after
all, as if Governor Hartley is GO
ing to have "ticket" whether he
likes it or not. Everybody but
the governor seems to he taking a
hand in making up a Hartley
ticket" Notwithstanding the fact
that some of the mentioned candi-
dates have not yet filed, and may
not file, here is the commonly as
sumed Hartley ticket" at this
time: Lieutenant governor, Senat-
or Houser, King county; treasurer,
Sam Rathbun, Seattle; auditor
Charles Murray, Tacoma, or Rich
ard Buttle, Seattle; land commits
sioner, Al Terry, Seattle; secretary
of state, Herman Josefsky, Stew
ems county; attorney general, En-
NETT G. Lehman, Seattle; superin-
tendent of public instruction, DE-.
N. D. Showalter, Spokane.
But this reporter is still inclined
to file a minority forecast: That
Mr.. Hartley will not take off his
coat "for" the ticket, but that he
will be too busy to praise the boys
who climbed on the ticket, and
that their job will be to make the
best of the governors attacks on
the present state officers.
The political machine" that
crushed Mrs. Bertha Landes and
made the polically-unknown Frank
Edwards mayor of Seattle is being
primsd to enter state politics, and
threatens to clash with the organ
ization of Governor Hartley. Mr..
Edwards, who wished to line up
with the Hartley people, feels that
he has been politically snubbed
and finds himself in conflict with
the Governors hackers over the
lieutenant governorship.
Here's the rub: Mr.. Edwards,
or his political lieutenants, plan
ned to elect Senator Billy Con-
ner as lieutenant governor and
have him as the connecting link
between the Hartley and Edwards
organizations. But most Of those
close to the Governor seemed to
favor Senator Paul Houser for
the lieutenancy. Anyway, reports
to this effect raised the, wrath
of Mr.. Conner and Mr.. Edwards.
who are close political tilicums.
Now the spreading report is that
the Edwards organization will
back Mr.. Conner, Irrespective of
any proposition promising a liv-
ely ouser-Conner fight in King
county.

Muskrats sometimes eat fish, but
they capture the sluggish kinds
mainly and seldom harm game fish.
When carp were introduced into
many parts of this country 1t was
found that the muskrats sometimes
invaded ponds and destroyed the
carp. This would not now be re-
garded as q serious loss. Muskrats
cause some loss to the fish culturist
by injuring his ponds and possibly
by destroying the food of fishes.
