T COTTAGE GROVE,! Aug. 11.
School districts will hereafter han
dle their own funds, instead of
having them deposited with the
county treasurer, as was the case
for two years. Before that time
the funds . were handled by the
clerks in the -same manner .as
they will be again. . The reason
for the change made two years
ago was that itlwas thought that
; the funds could.be made to earn
interest if the small amounts be
scattered f over the county-could
be consolidated." Also a number
of districts lost 'money because
of manipulation of funds by clerks
or through careless' handling by
clerks. -:.w.-::z J-u X- -' X
f The funds of the various county
school districts are to be sent out
to the clerks as soon as the bonds
of the clerks are arranged.

under the date of July 4, 1881,
against NY Gird, who was fined
$5 for the Teck leas pace, according
to old records of the police court
here found by Recorder Alta King
this week in pouring over musty
files. !
Whether the headlong Gird was

of the whip in trying to. pass some
fast-stepping rig ahead or whether
he had been flying around with
his best girl In a narrow-gauge
buggy, was not learned. Anyhow,
Officer Moore ' gathered in De

evidently paid the money to Judge
H. C. Humphreys. Those were
truly the days of reil sport. :

"There's the train whistling
now. But yon can make It easily.
Careful of that corner. Whew!
You missed that curb by a ahar
lug." - '
It is not like Dicky to make
comments on my driving. He on
ly does it when he Is keyed op
over something. Naturally I de
duced that he was more excited
than he" cared to admit over the
impending, arrival1 of Robert -Sav-rin.;.;
". :.. ': ; "; ": "') .',
' As for me, my heart was heavy.
I saw again, or Imagined I did,
the regret for Harry Underwood
In Dicky's face. If remembered
only too vividly some of the com
ments he bad made during our
drive, and continued to make
even while we were speeding for
the station at the last of our
drive.
! "Savarin's too rarified.for LI1,"
he had summed up. ' "She's too
intensely human to have to live
np to a great genius like that."
With the curious detachment,
the power to flash a whole cine
ma film in a second or two that
one's mind has, my memory leap
ed back, even as I saw the train
rolling in, to the time In the Cat
skill mountains, when - Robert
Sararln faced and conquered the
unspeakable woman" whom hehad
believed his wife, and whose con
duct had exiled him with clouded
mind for fifteen years. He had
been Intensely human then.
; "Going , to get out?" IDIcky's
voice brought me back .with a
jerk to the present moment', and
the fact that the train had stop
ped. "What News Have You!"
"Of course." I was on the plat
form beside bim as I spoke, and
we scanned the alighting passen
gers eagerly. .
"There he Is! See! Dicky, the
chair car!" . - .- ;
The porter, bags in hand, was
bowing obsequiously, .while Rob
ert Savarin alighted. That he had
been well tipped was evident, and
there was also a certain some
thing in his attitude which made
me imagine he knew the Identity
of the celebrity whom he had been
grooming. And the next second,
Dicky with a dexterous movement,
took the bags from the darkey'b
hands before the artist could
grasp them. - --; ',.-.
"Oh!" Thank you, Graham.','
He grasped Dicky's free hand,
turned outstretched hand . and
anxious eyes to me.
i "This Is so good of you, Mrs.
Graham." I long ago noted that
his courtesy never deserted him,
no matter what the emergency.
"What news have you?" ti .
r; "None, so far, which means
every thing Is all right," I answer
ed promptly. "You know a hos
pital is never ready .to receive
inquiries or calls early in the
morning. But we will 'phone now,
tell them when we are coming,
and then after you have had
soma breakfast, we can go over."
"Breakfast!" Robert Savarin's
voice brushed the suggestion
aside. "1 couldn't eat anything un
til I have seen them." -
"Very well!" I saw there was
no use combating his decision.
"Dicky, I think I had better tele
phone. I've had some experience
with that substitute in- the office,
and no one who hasn't could ever.
get any - message tftrough hex

to the car I will follow as soon as
I'm through telephoning."
All right," Dicky led the way

Ancient Code of Honor
Revived Again in France
LONDON, Aug. II. A central
heating apparatus used in a Ro
man villa about 17 centuries ago
has been unearthed in the course
of excarations atKenysham ceme
tery. Somersetshire. . ; . ;
The villa, which was about 120
feet long, was heated by a hypo
cauBt or heating chamber, the beat
passing under the floors of vari
ous rooms by means of a series of
passages. Some rooms were
reached by means of flues Instead
of "the floor passages.
They have brought new
beauty, new riding cdsc and
new mechanical perfection
to the product on which
their reputation as builders
has been founded. l

They have built a better
and a more desirable line of
motor cars yet basically
and fundamentally the iden
tity of their product remains
the same.
The same sturdy engine is
under the hood; the same
dependable chassis, im
proved in numberless de-,
tails, underlies the body.
But the rear springs now
underslung have been ma
terially lengthened. The
wheelbase, too, is longer,
and; the combined result is
a notable improvement - in
riding qualities. !
Bodies of all types have been
designed to give improved
appearance, and .greater
comfort. Lower, longer,
with deeper seats and more
leg; room, the lines of these
new cars are'low-swung and
graceful the interiors are
comfortable and roomy. , i
