it while Gardiner read the other
document.

added lamely.
Virginia was stunned. But only

threw herself at him, grasping him
by the shoulders and shaking him
while tears Of joy and excitement
rained down her cheeks.

it? Have you really got all that

Oddly Leigh was shocked, and
presently Virginia perceived that
he must think she had gone out of
her head.
Then she told him the story-told
it in detail, between spells of
laughter and sobs.

it differently.

And so it was. Gardiner sent for
Frederick Dean. They called in DR..
Meyerling also.
Virginia wanted him to be pres

know something of what had passed
between her father and Dean. He
was her fathers confessor, she re-
membered.

He looked with curiosity and a
touch of apprehension at the un-
smiling group that greeted him.

asked, striding over to Virginia.
Instead of answering Virginia hand

for 100000, payable to her and
signed by Mr.. Leigh.

There was a united gasp from
Gardiner and DR.. Meyerling. Both
had seen the check.
They had been told that it was
Richard Brewster's share of the sale
Of Leigh's plantation, but Virginia
had resolutely refused to explain
in advance her reason for wanting
Dean there.
She had merely said that she
wished to repay a debt he said her
father owed him and that he was
her fathers enemy.
Turn it over" she directed. 1--WE
endorsed it. There is the price Of
your silence"
Only Mr.. Leigh looked as If he
knew he were not dreaming.
DR.. Meyerling glanced with alarm
at Deans FACET was dangerously

lawyer must object to this sort of

piled, because I know that you and

|ODREGON AGAIN
NAMED HEAD OF
| MEXICAN STATE
Ex-PreSident Is Chosen as
Gales Successor; No
Opposition.
BY GEsTORD F. FINE


MEXICO CITY, July 2.-Alvaro
Obregon, one-armed war hero, again
has been elected to the presidency
of Mexico.
Four years ago-after serving one
term at head of the government
Obregon turned over control of the
Mexican state to his successor,
President Gales. But Obregon's in
huence has been felt ever since.
He has been close to the Mex
lean government and his aids have
been popular in affairs of the ma
tional congress The Obregon bloc
in congress has been in control of
affairs for year, with Col. Ricardo
Topete, deputy from Sonora, the
chief aid of the former president
Topete is but 20 years old.
Senators Also Elected
The election in which Obregon
was> unopposed for the presidency
aI-o named 200 deputies and twenty
nine Senator's. The exact vote and
complete returns will not be known
fer several days, but it was assumed
Oregon would retain control Of
Congress.
The way now was clear for Obre-
CONS succession to the presidency
of the country in December. unless
the term of President Gales adj
ministration is extended two years.
There is some doubt as to Gales
intentions, but general expectation
is that he will relinquish control of
the country this winter.
Policy to Be Unchanged
No great change in the govern
mental policy is expected through
the change in the government.
Some belief had been expressed that
election of Obregon would bring
aholt change in the Mexican
carrch laws, but Obregon, in re-
cent statement, said his position on
the church law was the same he
expressed several years ago.
That position is almost the same
a. the present Gales view.

ties. There we're a few fist fights

Virginias regret, took a good three
minutes to inpart the necessary
information to her lover.
Then-the door was thrown open

VIRGINIA was awake when the

She hobbled stiffly over to the in
rtrument, stiff from her long-held
rigid position.
She took down the receiver and
put it to her ear =
She almost collapsed like an ex-
ploded balloon when she heard the
voice of the man who had called
her.
Mr.. Leigh!
He was coming right over! Would
she be down as soon as she could
see him? Virginia promised.
Conjectures were seething in her
head like a whirlwind. Too many
questions to put into the form of

weakly and flew back into his arms
to sob there.
Fortunately it was too early for
anyone to be sharing the parlor
with them, but Virginia did not
even think of the possibility of
witnesses to the scene.
Lets sit down and confide in
each other" he suggested, leading
her to a davenport.
I knew something was wrong,
he went on when Virginia hesitated
to begin her story; $50 I cabled up
here to a lawyer I know. You see,
Virginia I had troubles of my own
when heard of your fathers pass
ing, on, so didn'a do what should
have done. I ought to have found
out who was handling his estate and
told them of Richards interest in
my sugar plantation"
Virginia squeezed his hand.
Father considered that only an ex-
preston of his gratitude to you for
saving his life," she said.
That's no reason why he should
not benefit from it as I have. The
sugar people have bought me out.
I'd have let go before if I'd known
that Richard left you penniless."
Virginia smiled sadly. II hope you
haven't sacrificed your plantation
for my sake" she said. you see I
am going to marry very rich
man-tomorrow, I presume"
Leigh noticed her eyes expand
with terror and a trer1or pass
through the hand that lay in his.
Virginia had sought to speak
calmly, dreading to have him know
that nothing could make her happy.
The poor thousands thai he had
sold his lands for were, like her own
twelve, useless to her now.
won't you tell me about it?"
he urged tenderly. Il know that
you're hiding something that's eat
ing your heart out. If money can
help you I've brought you your ia
theirs share Of the sale, and you
are welcome to mine, too. All to-
gether it would make tidy sum
if it were poor man you'd rather
be marrying"
He spoke with a little lessening
of the warmth in his voice.
The idea that Richard Brewster's
girl could marry for money did not
sit we'll on his mind. And it looked
as if that were the case.

the business institutions of the
district. Tourist traffic, which is
supposed to be desirable for small
towns, is of course diverted and the
merchants of the section suffer
this loss, to say nothing of the adj
ded dislike which the travelling
public has for this barrier of the
highway.
While it is true that the two
towns were primarily responsible
for having the bridge built to re-
place the ever dangerous ferry
crossing and residents of the
towns subscribed heavily in stock
for the purpose, it was supposed
and indeed promised, that the
state would take it over long be-
fore this. At the present time,
most of the stock originally pur-
chased by local residents has been
disposed of to a few sto skholders
who control the affairs of the
company. The bridge is an abso-
lutte necessity. The best interests sof
this district and of the state at
large demand the first state
money available in the highway
fund should be used for the pur-
chase and maintenance of this
structure.

THE PLAYFIELD

I0F all things which have beer
started in Kennewick the new
est project starts off with the
brightest prospects for success.
The Kiwanis club, which is foster.
ing the public playground plan
has struck a popular chord. But
one thing remains to assure its
unbounded success. That is the
patronage of the kids. If the play
ground is as attractive to them,
as it has proven to be other plac-
es, this one phase will work out
satisfactorily. 1t must be under
stood, right from the start, that
the playfield is for all the child
rem who care to come. There are
no age or other limits of any kind,
but whoever enters the field must
absolutely obey the rules and or
ders of the director in change.
Another thing which must be inn
pressed upon the people is that
with directed play there is much
less chance for an accident than
where the kids rampage without
supervision. The playfield and the
apparatus will be inspected fire.

dents of every sort, but parents
must realize that the hackers or

grow and continue to widen it's
scope and the community it to be

IT'S high time the state took ov-
er the ownership and manage
ment of the Kennewick-Pasco
highway bridge. If the accident
had occurred a couple of hours
earlier, and had tied up Governor
Hartley and Sam Humes, head of
the Highway department of the
state, the action might have come
a little speedier than is otherwise
likely. The management of lhe
bridge is deserving considerable
criticism for. it's carelessness and
downright negligence, in the dis
aster of last week. With the rap
idly rising river and its increasing
burden of driftwood it is almost
unbelievable that the bridge COM
pany could fail to take steps to-
ward preventing the formation
OF the jam above the bridge. For
the safeguarding of its own prop
erty, if for no other reason. it
would seem the cheapest insur-
ance against disaster.
Cars were allowed to cross the
bridge after the section which af-
terward fell, had slipped three feet
or more out of line. Indeed one
car had to leap a gap which had
formed where the bridge gave
way. 1t is told that cars were al
lowed to drive onto the bridge af-
ter the highway patrol had order
ed traffic closed, and that it was
necessary for the patrol to put I'm

With a third or more of the ira

bridge works real hardship upon
