"It's all right, Celia. 1 didn't kill him. Miss Jahrles gave me all the alibi I'll need. What do you want to know, Samuels?" "The truth. What was the trou ble between you and Parados?" "Business the Fleetwood Trad ing company." "Go ahead." ; "I met Parados ten years ago," Annersley began bitterly. "He hadn't much money then. The Idea qfU company was Bound.

'And yollow roses frequently lose their petals," Annersley repllra. "1 can't help It It the person who killed Parados happened to be wear ing a yellow rose. That's my bad luck. You've forgotten Miss Juhrlcs' statement." "Miss Jahrles did not actually e you during all that bait hour." Annorsley looked around. "Can you help him, Miss Jahrles"?" 1 saw Mr. Annersley three times while I was In my room," she de clared. "I opened the window when I went In and he was on the terrace. Ten minutes later I low- dos wanted another hundred thou sand. I let him have It. He was a wlsard at business. "Wo made money. 1 was satis Red, up to a couple of months ago." Bitterness was In Annersley's eyes. "The company didn't mean much i Parados by now he had a dosen but It meant everything to mo. Tboro was an opportunity to get some beach property, he said. Did 1 want to go In pretty deep? I did, slice he recommended It. 1 had about 150.0U0 loose and t turned It over to blm. ."A month later be told me the staff was worthless. 'An error of ludgmeut,' he said. The liar! He said the board fits board had vot ed to accept a ridiculous! small of fer from another of Alt companies. It would finish the Fleetwood com pany and take my 150,000, too. I'll be out 1150,0001" , "You will be? Hasn't It (one through yet?" ' - "It's pending." ; "Mmn. What are you doing here tonight?" - "I thought I'd try a last appeal." : , "It failed?" i ''He waa killed before I could talk to him," Annersley said huskily, v "What did you mean by 'pend ing'?" Samuels asked. ''Just that pending. I dont be lieve Parados had signed the au thorisation." he went on uneasily. "Why was t'arados trying to break you, Annersley?" - "That was his little way. He ll wanted people to hat him." .."Tea, but why did Parados begin to express his hatred for you at this particular time?" ; "I've told you." ' I. "No, you haven't There's a rea on." ; "Dig for It, thenl" Annersley chouted. ! "Tell him, Claude!" Celia plead ed. "It must com outl" But An nersley waa silent. "Don't you see? Parados liked me and Claude and ;I were engaged! There, you've got If '. "Why did you remain here. Miss Terrier ;.. Cell colored. "I did because don't you see? It I bad broken Iwlth Parados he would bave ruined the Fleetwood company and iClande!" Celia began to woep. ; Kirk looked up Just then. I -"This rose seems to hav lost ithre or four of Its petals," he an nounced. "It's the ism shade as the loose petal, too." Samuels Inspected the rose and "Dan's phoenlK to gone!" Mrs. Para dos cried, point ing to the empty ease. . ered the window. He still waa there. Fifteen minutes after that I closed the window before leaving. Mr. Anneraley still waa sitting on the terrace. In the Intervals I beard blm cough and smelled smoke from his cigar." (.. "v .: "Convinced?" Annersley wanted to know. "The petal of this rose," Fllque Interrupted. "It is the principal evi dence against M. Annersley, yea?" "So far," Samuels admitted. "But If I were to show you an other rose what then?" "Where Is It?" Fllque dived Into a waste-paper basket and picked up a yellow rose. It waa of the Gold of Ophlr variety, similar In site to the one on the table. - "Volla" Fllque exclaimed. A warm glow spread over Anners ley's face, but it was Cell who expressed what both of them felt. 'Oh, Claude!" she wept ecstat ically. Are you satisfied?" Annersley In quired dryly. It'a your trick," Samuels admit ted. "When did you first notice that rose, Fllque?" he demanded. But a moment ago. I cast my eyes down and It waa there. It will be ntceMr to commence again, yes?" Not altogether, Samuels said. "I suppose your husband wasn't given to buttonholes, Mrs. . Parados?" Dan!" Mrs. Parados laughed without humor. "He one dis charged an executive tor coming Into his office with a sprig of ml gnonatt In his ooat." I don't wear buttonholes, elthor, Mr, Samuels," Carolina aald unexpectedly. Her blue eyes were challenging and derisive. Her courage had Im pressed Itself upon me and 1 felt pride as It reasserted Itself. Sam uels' eyea smouldered with sus picion as he lookod at Caroline. The Interruption at that moment waa foitunate. "The phoenix la gone!" Mra. Parados suddenly shrilled. "Dan'a Jade phatnlx!" Mrs. Parados was pointing at the empty glass case on the mantel the glass case that had caused Para dos such acute distress Just before I had left him a tew minutes before his death.

J -4 i OR OREGON AND ITS PEOPLE In the gubernatorial campaign now drawing to a close, Senator George W. Joseph is battling. as he has always battled. for the welfare of the State and its people. Read What the Sta te HIS FIRST APPEARANCE in the political arena years ago was as the champion of the Australian ballot system so that the people might cast their ballot in secret without coercion. - t HE NEXT CHAMPIONED the direct primary law so that the people themselves might nomi nate candidates to office without dictation from corporate interests or political bosses. HE NEXT ESPOUSED the Initiative to the people might enact their own laws; the Referen dum so that they might nullify vicious legisla tion, and the Recall so that they might retire un faithful officials from office. ' IN THE 1911 SENATE he introduced a reso lution recommending the adoption of the' Equal Suffrage Amendment so that the women might enjoy the sacred right of the franchise on an equality with the men. . IN THIS SAME SESSION he introduced a bill creating a State Highway Board which was the forerunner of legislation resulting in our mag nificent highway system and was instrumental in later sessions in releasing highway construc tion from the grip of the blacktop paving monopoly. IN THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN Senator Joseph is making public development of our water power resources without cost to the tax payers his major issue, to the end .that Oregon may be liberated from the stifling and blight ing control of the power monopoly and forge ' ahead industrially and agriculturally. IN THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN Senator Joseph is also espousing the sacred constitu tional right of free speech and justice to every citizen, the abolition of the Public Service Com mission and a return to the home rule principle for the control and regulation of public utilities. All these orincioles are of vital importance to M the State and its people. r- '-AV. - - (V f . , - J V 4 ' GEORGE W. JOSEPH The Leading Republican Candidate for Governor Press Says: Just a few newspaper comments illustrative of the esteem in which Joseph the man is held even by those who differ from him politically: "Not many men who have served in a public capacity in Oregon have so good a record for clean politics, clean government and clean citizenship." The Oregon Journal. "An eloquent and forceful orator and able floor leader, he repeatedly championed sound legislation that had been doomed to , defeat, with the result that it emerged triumphant." The Portland Telegram. - "Joseph has a long record of anti-power trust activity behind him." Portland News. "We hold an admiration for Mr. Joseph's splendid ability that we do not attempt to con ceal. He has one of the keenest minds that we have ever observed. Klamath FalU Herald. "George W. Joseph is now far in the lead, sure, unless something extraordinary occurs, of the Republican nomination." Klamath Basin Progress. "More people are attending the Joseph meet ings than there are attending those of any other two candidates combined." LJmpqua Courier. "The times are peculiarly suited to Senator Joseph s candidacy." Portland Spectator. "He has personality, initiative and fearless ness. Salem Hollywood Press. "Joseph, it is recalled, has been prominently and favorably identified in the public mind with the battles against the Telephone Company and Electric Light and Street Car Corporation." oafem Capitol Journal. "In the Senate and in this campaign he has proved that he is the common man's friend." rVooaoHrn Independent. Oregon needs Senator Joseph's wide experience in the business world, his rare executive ability and leadership in the executive chair to bring about the adoption of this comprehensive and constructive program. It is'time for a change of administration at the Mate capital -time to relegate politics to oblivion an7u i Ar m a PropreMive business administrajtion so that Oregon may expagd and its people enjoy an era of prosperity.
