Nor waa It alone tne t lasting logic of Jobn Carmody.wblch gnloed ble coun sel of Bob Terry. Rather ltf wax the aTar-prsssBt thoocht of Kath leen, and her ' permanent bappt-1 neaa. -Do It, Bob." he said for the desentbtlme. ' "You ain't runnln'. a mite of risk And eTen if you waa. John Carmody would take care or you. He can do It: you know that. And you'll bust Peter Borden higher than a kite." That waa Todd's method of at tack, and in hla lumbering, simple minded way, Todd thought that he waa working ror the best in terest of this young man asd the girl whom he regarded as daughter. Todd was afraid of Lola Borden She amased him with her beauty her cultura-T-and her humanneaa. small wonder that Bob Terry should be-swept from hla feet by tbe very Idea that this slim, radi ant creature might car for him. But Todd was convinced that Lois could never make Bob happy. She waan't hla type; they belonged on different planes, and there could never have been any con tact between them had not dis aster come. What Carmody advised and Bob considered, waa a perfect solution to the problem. Should Bob ruin Peter Borden, the daughter would never forgive. That would re move the last obstacle between the boy and Kathleen. Todd was thinking only in terms of results During the three years that he had shared a cell with Bob in the state penitentiary, the older man had come to absorb much of Bob's passion for revenge on Borden Todd had no moral scruples; he didn't believe that Bob had. He couldn't see why he should. . With Carmody engineering the theft. Bob was safe. That had been the only disturbing feature of Todd. He didn't want the lad o face the danger of a prisoi term for something he did. But was as Carmody said: every body might know that Bob war guilty and they could not catel him. Knowing was one thing; convicting was something entirel) different. "I'd hate to go through a tria' igaln, Todd." "Hell! What's a trial? It's a conviction that hurts." "I know. But the shame of it." "Pff! Ain't you had shame enough? Waa it any worse that sittin' in the cell block an' havin' visitors atarln' at you and askin' the guard who you were and what was you in for? Was it any worse than having the warden call you over sometimes so that prison reformers could talk to you like vou waa an animal? Now get this straight. Boy: If you're aiming to run straight all your life, I'm with you, an' I'll help. If you're plan nln1 to forget what you owe Peter Borden that's all right with me. It's your business not mine. But I'm telUn' you, Kid, if you stil' reel like you want to see him wiggle now's your last an' only :hance. And that's the God'? honest truth." Bob hesitated. He knew it wac true. And he did want to make orden suffer. He despised hi own uncertainty. He told himself over and over again that he had do moral scruples. He natea bit pride in his own moral cleanli ness. It seemed to proclaim that he was soft, and he didn't want to be soft. And now a powerful tide war sweeping him. He didn't suspect either Carmody or Shannon of ul terior motives. It never occurred to him that either waa leaving inytbinr unsaid. They were hip friends; he trusted both Implic tly, and they drove him on. They tdvlsed that he steal the bonds 'rom Borden and bring misery to the precise little man. Perhaps tend him to the penitentiary for embezslement. Bob was fasctnat- d by the idea. It was so diffi ult to imagine Borden in prison wearing white; -making cotton shirts, aweatlng over the . daily task which each convict is allotted Reprisal! safety! Ana sup pose Bob aid do ht wasn't it Borden's fault? It was the last chance. The only chance. Todd advised it. Car mody advised it. Carmody guar anteed safety even if he was dis covered. There was a deadly Irony in the situation, a parallel which Intrigued Bob beyond -all reason. It would have been one thing to square accounts with BordeflT out to balance the books In this way. by visiting -him with the identical suffering which had been Bob's Dortion ..The boy turned and faced his friend. "Will you answer me one ques tion honestly. Todd?" 'Sure, Kid; sure." "How would Kathleen take this?" Todd smiled. "All right. She'd understand.-" "Would she be glad?" we.iiT ain't sayin she'd cheer. Women are awful queei specially when, they're engaged to man. I guess you know Kath leen better than I do. Didn't she always say that you were right in hating Borden? "Tea." "Did she over say you shouldn't sock him if you gotjtho chance?" "No-o." "Then -why not f 'ahead and tell i her after tt' ; done? She wouldn't i have a. eomeback--an' whan a woma ajn'tj got 4ome- back, the man's safe." "She wouldn't hate met "Hell ho. If y Idea la that she'd think yon waa pretty good." Bob'a abouldera went back. "Ill do It; Todd." -That's wlao. Kid. When?" - Tonight. "Great stuff. Ill be hanging around Lefty's place front seven o'clock on. , WksA you get " the stuff, hand it over to me. I'll keep It until the morning, and then you caa salt It away wher ever yo like. . O. K.?" ."Tea.", - Bob turned abruptly and left his friend. He waa strangely ex ultant and ueerly worried... He did not permit his thoughts to dwell on Lola. Tet she hovered in the background, , a reproving figure. He didn't-want to think that she would suffer, too; he didn't waat to consider . that, she would despise him. He tried to forget everything except that he bated Borden, and that Borden waa. responsible for anything he might do, and deserving of any punishment. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," he re peated to himself. He ate scantily in a modest luncb room. The food waa pallid and without flavor. The minutes dragged interminably. When he reached the bouse Lois and her father were preparing to leave Lois came forward with both hands outstretched. Bob! Where on earth have you been? "Busy." He was not communi cative. His eye went past her and dwelt on the figure of Peter Bor den. He told himself that he hated Borden bitterly; that noth ing in ,lle counted except seeing the man suffer. "Today? Labor Day?" "Yes." Lois was nervous. Bob was tense and pre-occupied. We're going out with Bruce Richardson, Bob; won't you join us 7 He'd be delighted." "No. Sorry." "You're staying home?" "Yes. I'm tired qullly But the next morning she met Bob la the hall and naked a casual question l "What did yon do last night, Bob?" She had not meant It aa a trap and He met her eyes squarely and answered falsely l "Nothing. Went to bed right after you left and slept soundly all night." (To be Continued.) -Olts For BresOtfiist ' Another advance . Congressman Hawley writes that the plans and specifications for the annex on the Salem -post- office building are 30. per -cent completed, and te. assumption is that everything will be ready for construction by July 1, when the appropriation becomes . available. W And ao Salem expands at the mail and business center of a growing country. V The bar association in recom mending provisions for a county refernc law library assumed that this would make for both conven ience and economy. There has been nothing to change the as sumption. One or two mistakes tn the rulings of our Judges might cost the county the price of the needed reference books a charge to the taxpayers. And the books' would cost tbe general taxpayers nothing. Tbe money would be provided by litigants, who pay a very small nart of the costs of court proceedings. The wisest judge that ever lived could not carry all the rules of law In his head. But it is as sumed that our judges do this very thing. As it is now, they must make rulings "right off the bat," with nothing to guide them but their memories. It is a wonder more mistakes are not made. To err is human, in a judge as well as any other man. A reference library would allow a judge to look up a rule of law in any case, without holding up the proceed ings and piling up the court costs. eastern Oregon, and the towns the Wffiametto valley. The deve ooment ot the winter playground at ML Hood, which has been ac tively sponsored by the Portland Ad club, will soon roach a point where It will equal anything of the sort to be found anywhere In the world. "Rosea to snow In two hours" is a record that even Switz erland cannot equal. Another interesting project that the Portland club has sponsored in the past winter waa the Christ mas illumination contest. This contest proved o successful that ft will be conducted on a much lar ger scale next year. Robert M. Mount, secretary the Bettor Business bureau of the Portland Ad -club, told of the va rlous nefarious 'practices of unde sirable business houses.' The pur pose of 'the-bureau, acocrdiag to tbe speaker, is to protect the pub lic confidence in advertising. He described the methods employed by the Better Business Bureau in dealing with those who do not con form to the standards of good ad rerttaing. Mr. Mount cited a nam ber of interesting examples to 11 Iustrate his Illuminating talk Another Interesting guest at the meeting last night was William J Hoffman of the Portland Oregon lan who - was . introduced to the of in. She felt a sense of relief. What ever It was which engrossed tbe boy, he was finished with It until the morrow. Then the door bell rang and Richardson entered; kindly, gentle, friendly. He re peated Lois' Invitation to Bob, and igaln it was refused. They left. Bob took a book and settled himself in the library. But his ayes were not on the pages After in hour he rose and took a paper from his pocket. He marveled at Carmody's efficiency. The com bination of Borden's safe. Bob twirled tbe dial right, left, right and then left again. The door opened. Bob Terry drew a deep breath His fingers closed about the packet of bonds. Two hundred thousand dollars! It as unbe lievable. So small a packet. He closed the. safe, stuffed the bonds in his pocket, and left the house. His head was whirling. A bitter smile played about his lips. First he had served a prison term and now he had committed crime. He was uplifted by a sense of bravado. He tried not to think Todd was at Lefty's place watching a pool game. He hand ed the bonds to the big man. Todd dropped a paternal hand on his shoulder and tried to reassure him gruffly. Then be took the boy for a long walk. They walked miles and spoke - little. It war midnight when they separated and one o'clock when Bob reached the big, silent house set far back on the velvet lawn. - Lois and her father had re turned at eleven. And Lois had listened at Bob's door for the sound of his breathing. She beard nothing. She tapped. There was no answer. She opened the door and looked inside. Bob was not in the room. He was not down stairs. She left her own door slightly ajar, the room In darkness. She waa oppressed by a sense of im pending tragedy. She waited not knowing why. At one o'clock Bob came in. He trod softly, as though fearful of waking someone. She saw him go into his rbom, heard the electric switch snap. She went to bed add slept tran- TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Going to turnSO (Prom Columns of The Statesman, February 24, 1903) group as one of tbe foremost mem bera of the Portland Advertising club and as "the man who arrang- s all the conventions in Portland A short talk on the advertising conference which will be held in Honolulu on June 10, 11, and 12 as given by Earl Bunting.

Doctor Found What is Best for Thin, Constipated People As a family doctor at Monticello, Illinois, the whole human body. ot any small part of it, was Dr. Caldwell's practice. - More than half his "calls" were on women. hildren and babies. They arc the ones most often sick. But tneir Illnesses were usually of a minor nature colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness and all of them re quired first a thorough evacua- ion. They were constipated. In the course of his 47 years' practice (he was graduated from Rush Medical College back in 875), he found a good deal of uccess In such cases with a pre scription of his own containing a imple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of a medicine to be known as Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin, and in that year his prescription was first placed on the market. The preparation immediately had as great a success in the drug stores as it previously had in his private practice. Now, tbe third generation is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children who were given It by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone somewhere is going into drug store to buy it Millions of bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Svruo Pepsin are being used a year. Its great success Is based on merit, on repeated buying, on one satisfied user telling another. There are thousands, of homes in this country that are never with out a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's AT AGE S3 Syrup Pepsin, and we have gotten many hundreds of letters from grateful, people telling us that it helped them when everything else failed. Every drug store sells Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. Keep a bot tle in your home, where many live someone is sure to need it quickly.
