He nodded. Must be-" he said
gruf1y.
We stood transfixed while Rosie's
violin sobbed out a tortured. throb-
bing grief, revealing . soul shaken
by agony beyond our comprehen-
sion.
As we waited, motionless, the music
changed. It became more calm. 1t
was as If q shower fell gently on
parched ground after a long drought.
A note of resignation that was almost
joy crept in.
I'VE won't disturb her now" said.
"She doesn't need U.s."
"Not now" Sam agreed.
There was something so sacred
about that music, it would have
seemed a sacrilege to intrude upon
her. We walked to the car in 81

could speak.
I'VE must help her." he replied.

TIL run up to see her before I
come to the Office tomorrow" prom
ised him when he left me.
AS I drove to Rosie's tenement the
next morning ! was thinking more
of her coming career than OF her
present sorrow. Her music would be
everything to her, thought. Al
ready it had reconciled her to the
loss of her sister. How little ! knew
the heart Of Rosie!
THERE was a crowd in front OF
the house when I reached 1t.
As I hurried upstairs I noticed
women in the halls. talking in hushed
voices.
They're going to break down the
door" I heard one of them say.
There was a crash when I reached
the top of the last flight, and the
sickening odor Of gas met me. Rush
ing past two policemen who were
removing the door. I entered the
room.
On the rude cot lay Rosie, her No-
lin at her side, her face pinched and
| gray. ....
One officer carried her downstairs
while the other called the rescue
squad. After they had worked VAL
iantly for what seemed an eternity
she opened her eyes,
Later, when I had her at my apart
ment, and she had cried until the mad
ness was gone out Of her sorrow,
I tried to explain what her future
would be.
You will be rich and famous,
Rosie" I told her
But will people like me, Miss
Grant?" she said wistfully.

catches when she was excited. trailed
off into nothingness when she grew
dreamy. The struggling drab-brown
hair was pushed behind her ears. The
blue eyes, half-closed when she was
musing, flashed with piercing earnest
ness when anything aroused her.
Above one ear she carried her ever
ready pencil. Rosie was very proud
of being the most efficient Steno-
erapher in the Government office over
which Sam Brooks and I presided.
CHE always came to me with her
~ condolences, perhaps because I
was older than the others. Perchlng
herself upon my desk at noontime,
she would tell me about the old violin
master who had given her a few
lessons years ago and had bequeathed
his violin to her Or. taking my
tactfully offered sandwich, she would
give me the latest news of Vera, her
little invalid sister, her only relative.
Most of Rosies salary was spent for
Vera's doctor bills and the toys Rosie
lavished upon her.
When Vera was taken to hospital
for the tubercular. Rosie rented an
attic room whose only furnishings
were a washstand, cot and shabby
trunk on which the treasured violin
rested when it was not in the pawn
shop. The day of Vera's departure
Rosie had pawned it to buy her very
lovely doll.
You don't know how lonely I am,
Miss Grant, with neither Vera nor my
violin for company" she told me one
day, tears In her eyes. But 1t won't
be long until have it back" she
added cheerfully. Then can play
as much as I like, because my room
is so far from any other I won't dis
turb any one"
T FELT the loneliness Of that room
as Rosie described it to me. But
with refurnishing my fiat and COM
pany coming soon after, I halfway
forgot it.
During the long winter that fol-
lowed Rosie grew thinner, often com.
ing to work with Redeemed eyes and g
pallor that limited of sleepless nights
But she seldom spoke Of her troubles
One afternoon early in April she
ran to me at closing time, her face
transfgured. "Oh, Miss Grant" she
cried, her voice like happy little bells
'Mr. Brooks has transferred me ou
west, where I can take Vera. Ht
knows a lady who will care for hel
and give her plenty of fresh eggs ano
milk. And I've had raise. I'm 60
ing to get my violin out of the pawn
shop this very day"
AS she danced out of the office hel
shabby little feet seemed scarcely te
touch the floor.
That evening about my telephone
rang. 1t was Sam Brooks. The anx'
!ety in his voice startled me.

phy-From the point B to the point
II the country traversed by the new
location and the existing road is
mostly tfmbered foothills and cul-
tivated valley. From the point H
to the point I the country is steep
and rocky and is Of little value ex-
cept for the timber on the higher
levels above the canyon through
which the new line runs. From I
to K the country is flat timbered
hills. From X to Omak the coun-
try is mostly gently rolling slopes
and open benches.

the Omak Lake route except that
precipitation is greater on the
higher levels. The maximum re-

Disautel Summit Route Right Of
Way-The right of way has nearly
all been procured by the Indian
Service and that remaining could
be procured at a small cost being
approximately the same as for the
Omak Lake Route.

AT the present time the traffic e.

tween the point A and Nespelem
is very heavy. From Nespelem to
Omak the traffic is light, due chief
ly to the condition of the existing
road.
General-Tne distance from Ok
anogan to Spokane via Mansfield
and the Brewster -COulee Cutoff is
1887 miles and from Omak 1927
miles. The distance to Spokane
from either town by way of the
Disautel or Omak Lake routes is 80
miles shorter. This saving in dist
ance would result In a considerable
permanent increase in traffic in
addition to the more or less temp
orary increase, due to the construc-
ton of the Coulee Dam.
The natural resources along the
Omak Lake route are more or less
potential, in that the future may
bring the irrigating and develop
ment of the agricultural land along
the Columbia River.
The resources along the Disautel
route are actual, there being a large
stand of merchantable timber adj
jacent to the located line. There
are also number of mineral pros
poets in this vicinity in various
stages of development. None, how
ever, have reached the stage of
production.
The cost of snow removal fer
winter traffic would be small along
either route with ordinary equip
ment being sufficient to keep the
road open at all times.
Either route will serve the Okan-
ogan Valley equally well as the bulk
of the traffic does and will origi-
nate at the termini and not along
the route.

GOOD BOOKS KEEP
 YOUTHS OCCUPIED

Judge John P. McGrath, who has endeared himself to thousands of youngsters brought before him as incorrigibles during bis years on the city court bench, believes that read- ing of good books is one practical way of keeping boys occupied, and hence out of trouble. With the COG operation of Miss Emelyn Barrett, Bronson librarian. he has secured Q list of recommended books for boys reading, which will be available for boys on probation.
 The books will be kept ct the of- flee of Miss Kathleen Crowley, juvenile probation officer, who be- iieves that the judge is right in his opinion about reading. Some sev- eral scores of titles, from classics like From Sawyer" to new books like Col. Lindbergh's We" are on the list.
 Most of the books are being se- cured through Miss Barrett ct the library, but Judge Mc0rath has given Miss Crowley, carte blanche to buy any books on the list which the library can't supply.

DRUNKEN BANDIT
 WAS WANTED MAN

Chicago, Jan. 1l-(UP)-An in- toxicated bandit and a companion interrupted a party at the home of Donald c. White last night. The companion left after robbing guests of $58 but the drunken robber stayed for half an hour, menacing the party with a shotgun.
 Whites wife finally knocked the robber down with table lamp and other guests blackened his eyes before he could flee. As he was run- ming through the back yard some- one shot him in the back.
 Police took the bandit to a hos- pital, where he said his name was Joe Harbar, salesman. Fingerprint Identification showed, however, that he IS Fred Kramel, who escaped Sept. 3, 1881, from the Missouri state prison.
