The sum to tal gave her a man of rank pas sions. of rare and merciless finesse where his desires figured, a man who i got what he wanted by whatever mean* most fitly served his' need. : Greater than any craving to possess a woman would be the measure of j his rrncci against a man who humiliated him. thwarted him. She colli! understand how a man like Monohun would hate a man like Jack Fyfe. would nurse and feed on the venom of his hate until set ti",g iv torch to Fyfe's timber would be a likely enough counterstroke. .

She j sang her way straight into the heart; of thai audience with her opening! number. This was on Wednesday. ; Friday she sans again and Saturday: afternoon. When she came back to her room i after that last concert wearied i with the effort of listening to chat-| to ring women and playing the ura- J i-ious lady to an admiring contingent j insisted upon making her last i iippearance a social triumph, she : loun." 2 letter forwarded from ! Seattle. She slit the envelope. A typewritten sheet infolded a green slip -a check. She looked at the 1 ."igures, scarce^ - comprehending un til she read the- letter. "We take pleas.-j-e in handing you herewith," Mr. Liuder wrote for j the firm, "our check ?or $19,500, j proceeds of oil stock sold as your j telegraphed instructions, less bro'K-1 erage charges. We sold same at, par j and trust this will be satisfactory." j She looked at the check again.! Nineteen thousand five hundred —| payable to her order! Two years ago such a sum would have lifted her; to plutocratic heights, filled her with ! pleasureablo exciteimuit, innumer- j able anticipations. Now it stirred her less than the S3OO she had just received from the Granada concert j committee. She had earned that, had given for it due measure of j herself. This tther had come'with-| out effort, without expectation. And less than she had ever needed money before did she now require such a sum. She was her own mistress, free as i the wind. Fvfe had said that. She looked out into the smoky veil that! shrouded the water front and the j hills across the inlet, that swirled! and eddied above the giant fir in Stanley park, and her mind flicked i back to Roaring lake where the Red Flower of Kipling's "Jungle Book'" bloomed to her husband's ruin. Did ; it? She wondered. She could not 1 thirik of him as beaten, bested in i any undertaking. She had never been able to think of •him in those I terms. Always to her he had con- i veyed the impression of a super- j man. Always she had been a little j in awe of him. of his strength, his j patient inflexible determination, glimpsing under his habitual repres- j sion certain tremendous forces. Sho 1 could not conceive him as a broken man. Curled among the pillows of her bed that night, she looked over the evening papers, read with a swift heart sinking that the Roaring lake tire was assuming terrific propor-1 tions; that nothing but a deluge of: rain would stay it now. And more i significantly, except for a minor, blaze or two the fire ragotl almost j wholly upon and around the Fyfe j block of limits. She laid aside the I capers, switched off the lights and lay staring wide eyed at the dusky ! ceiling. At twenty minutes of midnight i she was called to the door of her, room to receive a telegram. It was from Linda, and it read: "Charlie ■ badly hurt. Can you come?" Stella reached for the telephone ! receiver. The night clerk at the C. i P. R. depot told her the first train she could take left at 6 in the morn i ing. That meant reaching the i Springs at 9.3o—nine and a half ■ hours to sit with idle hands in sus- I pense.

The I message had strung her suddenly j taut, as if a crisis had arisen in 1 which willy-nilly she must take a) hand. Sc#j groping for the relief of ac- j i tion, some method of spanning that | nine hours' wait, her eye fell upon I I a card tucked beside the telephone I i case. She held it between finger j I and thumb, her brows puckered: TAXIS AND TOURING CARS I Anywhere. Any titne. She took down the receiver again | • and asked for Seymour 9X. i "Western Taxi," a mkn's voice ' drawled. / "I want to reach Roaring Springs ] in the shortest time possible," she i | told him rather breathlessly. "Can | i you furnish me a machine and n re ! liable chauffeur?" "Roaring Springs?" she repeated. ! "How many passengers?" "One. Myself." "Just a minute." She heard a faint burble of talk away at the other end of the wrie. j then the same voice speaking crisply: "We gotta big six roadster and a ' j first class driver. It'll cost you $75 i in advance. "Your money will be waiting for i you here," she answered calmly. ; "How soon can you bring the car j | around to the Hotel Granada?" i "In ten minutes, if you say so." i "Say twenty minutes then." ] "All right."

Monroe County Is Saving Its Pigs ' The sow that produces high-priced i ; pork is in the same class with the | goose that laid the golden eggs and Monroe county does not intend to al low her to be killed off. ! J. A. Segulne. food chairman of the county, has written to Howard Heinz. ! food Director of the Pennsylvania j j Committee of Public Safety, announc- j I inft that a plan is being worked out to j 1 buy up the brood sows that are put j lup at public sales. Instead of tfoing S to the butchering pen these sows are : to be turned over to farmers who. , will agree to produce crops of little porkers. ' It was Monroe county that first ! put into operation the plan of buying ; ; calves and turning them over to the I I boys and Kills to be converted into beef or dairy cattle. The banks of | the county made this possible by ad- j ' vancing the money and the young- j sters paid back the cost of the calves , in instalments. It is proposed to use similar methods in keeping the brood sows in the county. Hogs furnish meat more cheaply and quickly than any other stock and what is more important they are wonderful producers of fats. When pork is selling around 17 or 18 cents : there is great temptation to sell but | the value of a BOW that can produce : such expensive offspring is propor -1 tionatelv increased and Monroe county will save hers.
