the pressure of these delicate
arrangements, Hester's suffer
ing had been pushed to the
back of his mind.
Into a world of half-tones
Hester now entered. That fierce
suffering of the last weeks
seemed to have Slapped her
strength and often, for hours,
she lay on her bed, feeling weak
and languid. There were morn
ings when she let Stephen think
she was asleep and he would go
softly out, leaving her.
It gave her a chance not to
eat any breakfast, a thing i'm
possible if Stephen were about.
All her former rebellion against
the wind and the silence and
the darkness seemed concen-
trated now against the food. It
was a heavy monotonous diet
that Kin provided. He gave
them meat three times g. day,
usually pork. And sweet pota-
toes, the native vegetables were
few up here, so he said; there
were no fruits except the
puckery persimmon, and an odd
japanese fruit, something like
an orange, but sourer than a
lemon. Stephen ate them, but
she could not.
Sudden knowledge
There were days when it
seemed to her that she would
not mind anything else if she
could only have an orange. In
her dreams, a stand where she
had bought fruit as a child
often appeared to her.
The oranges piled in a mound
upon it were so real that after
she walked, she could feel their
lovely rounded skins in the palm
of her hand.

she had shut the door of her

be i'll. If she were couldn't she
ask Stephen to resign? Then
she was ashamed of the subter-

palled before the weakness that
possessed her.
Suddenly she sat up, startled
with a new idea. Strange she
had not thought of it before. It
would explain so many moods.

weeks. Yes, she was sure.
She must be wholly obedient

She dropped on her knees by

"Are you crazy!" Stephen
shouted at her, jumping up
from the table, snatching her
arm back. Then in a moment
the tension of weeks had broken
and she was crying, her head
on his shoulder.
A Revolt
ooh, Stephen, Stephen, I
want to go home" Stephens
heart almost stood still. This
was the sickness of nostalgia.
It attacked people in dreadful
ways out here. In this strange
beautiful north with it's high
winds and it's unbroken sum
shine, inconsistencies had been
known to drive people mad, es-
pecially women who were preg-
nant, though that was not the
matter with Hester, surely. But
suppose she broke under the
strain.
Such disaster he had never
contemplated, absorbed as he
had been in his work.
Look at me, Hester" Stephen
tried to speak lightly. This
isn't anything but homesickness.
Everybody has it some time. I

If only they could get away

of catching the night train for

no conviction in his tone. "The

you'd rather not. -"
Reinsurance
At breakfast the next morn
ing, the common things, the
coffee-pot, the eggshell white
cups with their sprays of bam-
boo, treasured Stephen. Yester-
day was unreal. Hester seemed
herself again and he let it go
at that, eager to forget that
glimpse he had had of the
white-hot core of her being. His
own inner self had been for
long time well hidden. Even as

the problems of the day. Soon
the ground would be frozen.
Past their compound would be
the steady procession of the
carts bound for the city, loaded
with beans. When the carts re-
turned, many would be filled
with barrels of oil from his
tanks, or tins from the goodwin
in the agents compound.
The tins of oil were still
stored there, despite the COM
plants of the officials. They
did not like oil stored in the
city, but for the time the COM
pany, through him, had ar
ranged to leave it there, in
order to save the face of the
agent. IF Stephen took all the
stores from the agent, it would
look as if the company didn't
trust him.
At last the final arrangements
had been made. A set of sub
agents, wholly acceptable to the
company, had been chosen by
the agent-men who had shops
in various towns in the territory.

the more she isolated herself

Rates By Agreement

The efforts of Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts to bring
about settlement Of the gas company valuation and rate
case on basis the consuming public and the company
will be welcomed by all reasonable men.
The proposal its present form may not be perfecfew
proposals in regard to public utilities are.
Nevertheless Roberts solid ground when he moves
to curtal expensive-to the consumer-itgaton which
progress for years and which, unless some such
proposition Mr. Roberts is accepted, will continue for
several more years.
Mr. Roberts suggests that the Public Utilities Commission
accept compromise figure the valuation Of the company
figure between the claims Of the company and the asser
lions of the commissions experts
Accordance Of such valuation figure would end the pres
sent valuation case and would result in PROMPT REDUC
TON OF GAS RATES and the making permanent of the
present temporary reduction.
The experts of the Commission and the company
trusted hope make that Mr. Roberts compromise
figure is sound.
The immediate settlement the pending cas suggested
by Mr. Roberts u.s. however, to mind only minor part
Of his important proposal
The vital and lasting part of his scheme is that gas
company and the Public Utilities Commission, the latter act
ing behalf of the public should agree sliding scale
arrangement to govern future gas rates
There several theoretical objections to this system Of
fixing public utility by agreement the parties
But in Washington those theoretical objections haze
been rather completely sunk by the practical advantages
that haze resulted from this scheme in connection NTH
years the of the Potomac Electric
Company have been fixed under sliding scale agreement
THE RESULT HAS BEEN THAT WASHINGTON HAS
OBTAINED ONE OF THE LOWEST POWER RATES IN
THE COUNTRY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, THE
POWER COMPANY HAS ENJOYED A CONSISTENT
rates have been reduced every year under the
agreement and the consumption of electric power has
creased steadily
There every reason for believing that similar arrange
ment gas rates. suggested by Mr. Roberts, would work
out the way.
The scheme has undouted advantages for the company
public.

fitted it should not be difficult put it into effect

In his short career as COVER

he has not become lodged in the

Republican Governor Of New

Thus far it is the concensus
among astute political observers
that no Republican has become
real presidential timber or made
of himself a messiah for the
people who are wont to turn
from the New Deal.
In bygone days, it has been
the custom for men such as
Theodore Roosevelt and Wood

tragic consequences CT leaving
those needs unanswered. They

that happens to the children Of
a nation, look out!
A starving child is a dreadful
sight, but a disappointed, dis
couraged child is an even more
dreadful one. There are worse
forms of starvation than physi-
cal hunger.
The child who lacks the
proper amount of sugar, fat,
mineral salts and proteins in
his diet will grow up with
flabby tissues, fragile bones.
But there is a worse demorali-
zation in store for the youngster
who is denied those rightful
risks, responsibilities, releases,
adventure and opportunities
which build courage, self-confi-
dence, ambition, pride, initia.
tive and Self-respect.
FAITH AND PRAYERS
A child who lacks sunshine
develops ricketts,. But a child
who lacks a place in the sun
develops spiritual anemia
which is infinitely more tragic
than any physical weakness.
