She bad exteremely strong convictions and prejudices, some of them, narrow, but Mrs. Barker was not petty, and Jthe principles governing her life were as strong as her prejudices, and as big as her heart.

But woe betide me it I tried to deceive her. Her outburst to me, "But I don't understand you!" and her -verbal- tongue-lashing of Dicky had shown me that she was hot misled Jby, the ingenuous role I had . attempted with her, while her delicacy in hurrying away that she might not witness my meeting with Cllare Foster' had confirmed my impression that any number of hntamedq.uinescpuldiiipt jwrest f rom her anything told her in con fidence.

I could riot afford to let his uncertain temper nay, rather, upon this occasion, -big bad tem per, spoil my plans. I accelerated my pace, and was amused to see that the women ahead of me, evi dently noticing the increased tem po of my footsteps, hastened their own, so that when they reached the living room door they; were fairly scurrying like fat breathles3 rabbits'. - -: - , ;: 1;V.

Then , I said in' my normal , voice.

Dicky "played up" to the extent of : a debonair answering gesture, and I mounted, the steps, well pleased with the completeness of my first task! Miss CargHTs smiling nod as I cams up the steps clinched a de cision I had made when I had seen Claire Foster. I went up to the group of three and said in low, de cisive tones . "Miss Foster, Mr. Graham and I are going to have supper in the dining room in a very few min utes. It would 'be too much for Miss Foster to see you three, but If Miss Car gill can represent you all, I am sure we will all be pleas ed to give through her any infor mation you need to finish this ab surd affair. , ; " ?That will be bully," Mr. Rlck ctt "exclaimed. V "You are very kind. Thank you so much," Miss Cargill murmured. But young. Mr. Smythe turned on his heels loftily ignoring e. y knew, however, that he would not come .near us after the encounter of the morning, and I went on in to the house, hoping that my luck would continue with Mrs. Barker. I found her in the dining room, placing a bountiful supper upon the table. Her "back looked com promising, and her face as he turned it upon me when she heard my footsteps, wag dark and for bidding. ; r- (To Be.

John Coffey,; Chairman In surance Committee' of House of Representatives, Salem, Oregon Dear Sir: The -following facts are submitted for consideration of the nouse committee on insurance in connection with house bill No. 3 05, Introduced by J Rep. Hale of Washington county.-This bill pro poses "to repeal section 6420 of Oregon, which ; section provides the conditions under which mutu al lire' insurance companies of oth er states can be licensed In Oregon and which prescribes the qualifi cations of such eompanies, which are to hare at least 1200,000 as sets of which not less than($100.-. m ml If 1J ij 0 Hi pt j & M 000 must be net surplus, over and above all liabilities to entitle them to be licensed. ; V - ' ' H "The first law providing for the admission of such T" companies to Oregon was passed In 1909. Since which time anumber of strong mutual fire companies of other states have been licensed, and have been doing business in Ore- . i"It would seem to be within the province of this committee to make a careful Inquiry, to ascer tain what, if any, class or classes of p'roperty owmcrs 1 and In what section or sections of the state ruch property owners reside who are now demanding the, doors of the state to be closed to mutual fire insurance companies of other states, which, can qualify under section 6420 which the bill pro-i poses to repeal. " ?
