Nervous vcmen who have been ' ntvd of all manner of female Ills, form a continual series of testimonial proof ef the beneficial effects of Paso Robles springs. Here one meets the worn-out labor er praising the waters for their gifts to him, while at his side per haps so alls the club man from the city, whose living has worn down J his system. Many 'Health pilgrims arrive at Paso Robles with camping outfits and lire in tents while being cured, being unable to afford the luxury of a boarding house. Here also are the rich in their luxurious hotel with private bath house and all the esssential attention tbey demand. The air of Paso Ro bles Is as rich and as perfect as its waters, this fact alone being of greatest benefit to Its curing power.

Thursday night a reception to the two bodies was eiven by the commercial club. A valuable suggestion was made by President H. C. Atwell of the fruit growers, who advises an annual fruit how in Portland at which all sec tions of the state shall be represent ed.

He walked on, turning Into hi cor ridor, but kept straight ahead, passing has own door, on to tb window at tb end of the hall, tbea north along a wide paageway which terminated in a bay window overlooking the roof of the Indoor swimming tank. It appeared that he bad cigarette enough, for b lighted one presently and. leaving hi chair, curled up In the cushioned and pillowed wmdow Mat gathering his knee together under bt arm. The cigarette be bad righted went out He bad bitten Into It and twisted it so roughly that tt presently crum bled, and he threw the rags of It Into a metal bowl, locking hk jaws in si lence, for the night threatened to toe a bad one for bim. A heavy fragrance from bis neighbor's wineglass at din ner bad stirred up what had for a thus lam dormant, and by accident some thing some sweetmeat be bad t anted was saturated in brandy. Now his restlessness) at the pros pect of a blank night bad quickened to uneasiness, with a hint of fever tinting his skin, but as yet the dull ache In his iKxly was scarcely more than a pre monition. He had his own devices for tiding him over such periods reading, tobac co and the long, blind, dogged tramps be took In town, but here tonight in the rain one stood every chance of walking off the cliffs, and he was sick of reading himself sightless over the sort of books sent wholesale to Shot over, and he was already too ill at ease physically to make smoking en durable. After awhile he began to walk mo notonously to and fro tho length of the corridor, like a man timing his steps to the heavy ache of body or mind. Once he went as far as his own door, entered and, stepping to the wash baslu, let the Icy water run over hands and wrists. This sometimes helped to stimulate and soothe him. It did now for awhile long enough to change the current of his thoughts to the girl he had hoped might have the imprudence to return for a tryst, innocent enough in itself, yet unconventional and un reasonable enough to prove attractive to them both. Probably she wouldn't come. She had kept her fluffy skirts clear of him since cup day, which simply corrobo rated his vague estimate of her. Had she done the contrary his estimate would have been the same, for uncon sciously, but naturally, he had pre judged her. A girl who could capture Quarrier at full noontide and in the face of all Manhattan was a girl equip ped for anything she dared, though she was probably too clever to dare too much; a girl to be interested in, to amuse and be amused by; a girl to be reckoned with. His restlessness and his fever subdued by the icy water, he stood drying his hands, thinking cool ly how close he had come to being sariously In love with this young girl, whose attitude was always a Curious temptation, whose smile was a charm ing provocation, whose youth and beauty were to him a perpetual chal lenge. He admitted to himself calmly that he had never seen a woman be cared as much for; that for the brief moment of his declaration he had known an utterly new emotion, which Inevitably must have become the love be had so quietly declared It to be. He had never before felt as he felt then, cared as be cared then. Any thing had been possible for him at that time any degree of love, any devotion, any generous renunciation.
