I felt strong arms lining tae
from m w knopllnv nnnfiirn inJ
placing me In i bir arm chair I r)rak when my
muace, which I. knowing hr, rr
allzed was no idle threat. Bound,
defeated, she had looked more
like a conqueror than a prisoner
as she stood faiin me, lie r du
tiful head held high, her red Hps
curling scornfully.
The cool, incisiTe volv of Al
len Drake cut across the salenc
like the whistle of a whip lash.
"I have the mate to that littlia
stop gap in your friend's mouth.
Miss Draper," be said smilingly
"I tru:t you will not compel me
to line it."
"'She faced him; unflinchingly,
but 1 saw her nostrils quiver and
a look in her eyes which only a
woman could interpret. I knew
that this wound to her vanity was
the bitterest draught she had had
to drain, this realization that h -r
wiles weighed nothing with Allen
comfort was in

rest upon either the body of poor
old William or that of the crazed

brought me directly beneath the
flashing eyes of Grace Draper.

the horrible thing which had lust

"Poor nervous Madgie!" she
mocked, her beautiful mouth
curved In! a smile or contempt.
"What a narrow squeak you had!

Her word were full of vague
question.
"She Means Something Awful!"
j "I have so much choice in the

Drake ignored the thrust.
i "Beter get them out of here,
Dixon." he addressed one of the
guards curtly. ''Mrs. Underwood.

is manufactured by the Cherry City Milling. Corn
pan, Salem, Oregon and distributed in Salem and
throughout the Willamette Valley by the grocers
who; buy it direct from the Mill, thus eliminating
all Overhead expenses possible.
CHERRO is altogether a new brand of flour that
we Manufacture and for the short time it has
been on the market, has proven entirely satisfac
tory to thousands of customers who demand a
high patent hard wheat flour.
The; manufactured product depends on the crude
material used and the methods of production. In
manufacturing CHERRO, only the very best hard
wheat is used, which is scientifically blended,
tempered and milled under laboratory tests and
there is no way to make better flour and if there
ever is we will make it.
Whit we claim for CHERRQ is that it's as good
as any hard wheat patent flour there i3 or has
everj been marketed in Salem. We do not claim
that CHERRO makes more bread or that we have
the only flour that's good. ; We do claim and will
back it up that there is no better family flour
made regardless of cost. We make this state
ment from a scientific laboratory and mill test
backed up by reports from hundreds of satisfied
inserts of this high grade hard wheat patent flour.
Give CHERRO a fair and impartial trial and if it
is not exactly as we represent it, your money will
be refunded and we will also pay you in cash the
pricie of a sack for your trouble. The reason we
can make you this proposition is because we have
sold thousands of sacks of CHERRO in the last
sixty days with only one complaint to our knowl
edge. '
Why continue to use flour manufactured outside,
which is highly advertised and also has a jobber's
profit added, which means about 25c per sack
more, when you can get just as good an article
made at Home which leaves your money where
it justly belongs ? LJiL
:" : "rB ' viissK3
Regardless of what kind of flour you have been
using, order CHERRO the next time and be con
vinced. Even if quality and price were equal to
other flours it's to your interest to patronize lo
cal Industries but when you can save about 25c
per Back, just buy Oregon Prunes with the bal
ance!. .
More than thirty groceries are back of CHERRO
Flour in Salem and are at your service.

door, followed closely by the man
with the scarred hand.
Grace Draper came last. As
she passed me she turned her
head and looked full Into my
fascinated eyes , filled with a
nameless terror of her that would
not down.
"Remember," she said softly.
I have one string left, a very lit
tle one,-but you will know it." j
"You won't be able to use it j
for 20 years, and the' federal pen 'j
ought to render it quita harmless j
by that time." Lillian retorted !
caustically as she came swiftly
to ie. i
The girl made no answer, simp
ly kept her eyes upon me with
that en Ism at ic, mocking smile un
til she had passed out of my
sight. When she had gene I
i hivered and hid my face in Lil
lian shoulder.
"She means something awful,"
I whispered.-
"Fiddlesticks!" Lillian re
turned, but her tone was uncon
vincing. "And now you must get
out of this. Hide your eye3. dear,
and come with me to your own
room."
"From 1 to 5."
I obeyed' her and she turned
me over to my mother-in-law's
ministrations, loving, gentle . at
tentions, supplemented. I shrewd
ly surmise, by some powerful
sleeping potion adroitly given, tor
I soon fell asleep and knew notn
tng of the gruesome duties that
must have occupied the rest of
the household in the hours before
morning. .
I didn't see Lillian again for
seTeral days. At her request I
did not leave my room, indeed,
was hardly able to leave it for
nearly a week. And it was
through my mother-in-law's
shrewd surmise alone that I
learned of Lillian's thoughtful
ness In taking charge of the body
of Mrs Allis. of whose relatives
we could find no trace, and giv
ing it decent Christian burial. I
had directed that William should
be laid to sest in the little village
cemetery, but Lillian had fore
stalled any morbidness upon my
part by securing burial for his
slayer in another town.
That Lillian had done this pri
marily to save Robert Savarin
pain I well knew, and I could not
help contemplating with thankful
ness the fact that one very real
obstacle to their future happiness
if it should ever be vouchsafed
them had been removed by Mrs.
Allis suicide. Of course, in the
strictly legal sense that woman
was not and never had been
Robert Savarin'a wife, but I knew
that for both their sakes as well
as for the poor erased creature's
own It was far better that sha
was resting quietly beneath her
six feet of earth.
'Thoughts of Mrs. Allis. dead,
brought in their train specula
tions concerning Harry Under
wood, living, the man to whom
Lillian was legally bound, even
though his life was an offense
not only to her but to all decent,
law-abiding people, the man who.
though unloved and unloving,
was yet the Insuperable obstacle
to her happiness.
Where had he been while his
fellows in conspiracy had played
their best trick and lost while the
girl with whose fortunes he had
been so closely linked had been
pinioned and led away to prison?
Had he really been secretly pro
tecting me as he had claimed, and
had the others found it out and
taken swift.- secret, deadly ven
geance upon him, or was coward
Ice the answer to his absence
from the expedition?
Cowardice! The word caused a
swift veering of thought to the
Knawing pain which was never far
distant from my heart and brain
in these anxious days. After all,
it really mattered little to me
what motive actuated Harry Un
derwood. Hut it meant some
thing more than l.fe itself to me
and to the child soul coming to
me, to know the reason for my
husband's apparent pusillanimity.
Hut fate, in the unromantlc
person of the daily postman,
brought me the Irey to my prob
lem in the shape of an ordinary
looking typed envelope that bore
the nside crvDtic message:
'If you wish to know the dis
graceful truth concerning your
husband's recent activities go to
the flying field at Mineola next
Wednesday aftemoon. Stay there
from 1 to a."

termed the "rankest kind of oph

statement of opponents of the
measure who claimed that the
commissioners knew what the
salary was when they ran for of

their salaries for that reason,"
Hindman charged, "but that same

you from saddling a lot more work

the bill were Representatives Kay,
