They ought to be made to Day to be judges instead of being paid, consider ing all the fun they get soaking the goats that have to go up against 'em." "I believe in keepin' the cost of runnm the government down," T. Paer answered thoughtfully, '"but 1 wouldn't be a judge if they'd deed me . the U.

"Tour son will be here in a few minutes," she told the moth er. "Mr. Hollingshead has gone to call him." She shut the door carefully, that the odor of flowers should not reach the patient. M To Adelaide it seemed that " the whole house held an atmosphere of death. This was in her mind as she heard father and son coming slowly - along the hall. She moved a chair rather noisily across the floor that the sick woman might not notice how slow and halting the men's steps were. But when Richard entered the room he let go his father's arm and came strsjht to bis mother. "Well, mater ! he said, cheerily, "how are. things with you now?" "Oh, son, I am so glad to hear your , voice," the invalid exclaimed. "Kiss me. dear." She put her arms about the young man's neck as he bent over her. The side of Richard's head on which was a strip of adhesive was towards her - face. Quickly, Adelaide slipped her fingers over the plaster that It might not touch- the woman's cheek. Richard noted the action, and. with a glance at her. turned his ihead so that the left temple instead, of the right was next to his mother. " "Tou're a peach, all right'" he mut tered. He meant the words to reach Ade laide only, but. his mother heard, them. "No, I am not. dear." she said. "I am only a poor old woman who is very ill." ' , Richard flushed. "Weil, I think you are a peach. , anyway." . he insisted. "But. .as you are ill, I must not tire you talking to you. I will come in again later in the day." 1 As he moved away he flashed a meaning look at his mother's attend ant. Had the man no heart? the girl won dered. How could he attempt to flirt at such a time as this? . ' She noticed that Dr. Carter had en tered the room while Richard was with his mother. How. much of the little by-play had he seen? But his manner was just as usual, if anything more professional than heretofore. V The nurse followed him from ' the room for his directions. -: When she returned the physician appeared again in the doorway and beckoned to Ade laide. ' I understand that you are to be . with the patient this afternoon during the services," he said, almost curtly. "How are you going to keep her from hearing the movements downstairs V ""J do not know," she replied truth fully. "I had thought that I might read to her, if she was well enough but I am afraid it might make her hervoua "Tea, it might.

"Well, maybe," The Fat Man con ceded, "a judge's got some excuse for jazzing some of the hard boils that try to peddle stuff to him. "You know it," T. Paer said, as the car slowed down at his comer. "If I whs a judge Mary Garden wouldn't have nothin' on me when it come to temperament 'nd bein' handy with it" "Just between : us girls," The Fat Man confessed, "I guess Hlzsoner had that five bones comin from me, be cause I sure cut that corner." would be music, and that is out of the question." Adelaide spoke without taking time for a second thought. "I could sing to her." she said. Then she caught herself up flush ingly hotly.

"I wej just asking Miss Brown." he concluded, "if she could sing.' If so. that might soothe your wife and dead en the sounds from below. It would be a painful ordeal for Miss Brown, of. course, just now and perhaps you would not be willing, Mr. Hollings head" "I would be grateful If Adedie would sing," Mr. Hollingshead said.

"Let it be some old- fashioned songs such as she loves." "I did not know; that Miss Brown was musical." Adelaide heard Dr. Car ter sair as the- two, men went down stairs. Tou have heard her sing?" "Yes, once," was the. brief reply. Adelaide feared that his very brev ity would arouse his companion's spec ulation. - . A sensation of fear, she could not explain -crept over her.

The. committee, also refused by- a vote of three ti two against a tuition fee of $100 a year for nonresident stu dents at the University of Oregon and the AgricuituraS, college. The reason for the defeat ef the motion was that the "three members of the committee, McKenna. .
