' R. LESLIE, ilr."
The old butler stood In
tha doorway looking, with
eyes In which affection and respect
vied, at the prematurely grizzled
head of his young master bent over
the great square table-desk In the
middle of the library, (
' "Mr. Leslie, sir," he repeated depre
ratingly, with a suggestive cough.
Leslie Conoughton looked up with
it slight frown, but his expression
hanged to a peculiarly attractive
wnlle as he saw who the Interrupter
;wns.
I "Well, Collins?" he asked gently.
I The old man coughed again, shift

"I beg pardon for Interrupting

- "William Is here, sir."
I ronougliton nodded encouragingly.
"Oh, yes! To be surel Tour grand

I'Tes, sir." The butler's severely
correct old face lighted with a smile
of pleasure. "Ktta's boy, sir. Maybe
you don't remember Etta, sir; she
was ludy's-mald to your mother, when
you were a little chap. She married
Lord Falrhaven's valet, when my
lord was visiting here, and went back
to the old country."
Conoughton nodded gravely. "I
remember," he replied. "And what do
you wish me to do, Collins? Or, rath-
, t, I'll leave It to you. Place him
-wherever you think he Is best fitted
to go; either In the house, or at the
. Mlnblel."
Collins hesltuted, his brows cloud
ing. "Thank you kindly, sir; but
Hint's just it, sir. William's got no

service at all; leastwise, not real

and resumed the "work" the butler
hud Interrupted; that Is, he resumed
his contemplation of a photograph.
It was a beautiful photograph of a
very lovely woman; even In the plo
ture the ornate black gown displayed
to advantage the perfection of the
wonderfully rounded arms, the grace
ful throat, and exquisite shoulders.
The features, too, were almost
faultless In their delicate proportions.
There was, perhaps, a suggestion of
roldness In the eyes and a hint of
petulant discontent In the curve of
the lips, yet jthey were distinctly
patrician; It was the face of a re
markably beautiful, highly bred, and
gently reared aristocrat, .( '
An of this Conoughton saw even
the defects, though the latter he
thought the fault of the photographer.
"I wonder," he said frowning, "why
Denlse doesn't take a better picture.
And," he added thoughtfully, ad
dressing the photograph, "I wonder
If I could make you happy? You
wonderful wonderful creature!'" ' '
At thirty-eight a man does not rush
headlong Into matrimony though he
may Into love certainly not a man
of Leslie Conoughton'a temperament.
Since his salad days no woman had
attracted him particularly until he
met Denlse Maxwell.
Indeed, he had found little time for
the lighter side of life. His father's
death, shortly after he .left college,
had placed on the boy's shoulders
the burden of a great fortune a bur
den of such enormous and varied In
terests that only within the last two
years had affairs been In such shape
that he could afford the time to think
much of his own pleasure.
There was no tangible reason why
he should not marry Denlse, She was
of excellent family, an heiress In her
own right, not too young, and arid
he loved her. Yet ho hesitated, t.

up, scattering the fragments around
him-.- v -
"No," he said uncertainly, "I think
I'll wait. She will be here In three
weeks. I'll ask her then."
During the next two weeks, Collins
brought him from time to time glow
ing accounts of William's progress.
"And Mr. Norton says," he would con
. elude proudly, "that he has never
seen any one take to an automobile
like William. He just seems like a
born chauffeur, sir," m - -
But though he frequently heard of
the boy, he had never happened to
see htm until one morning, having
ordered a car to take him to the sta
tion, he fpund a new man at the
wheel.
He was a little rat-faced fellow,
with shifty eyes, and a shock of car
roty hair showing under his motor
cap, Conoughton looked at him with
dlBfavor, "Who are -you?" he asked
shortly. . ' . .' .
"Hl'm William, sir," replied the
youth, with a broad cockney accent.
r, Norton says as hl'm quite cap
able now, sir,"
Conoughton lowered his raised eye
brows and smiled. "Oh!" he replied,
and without further words got Into
the car. c
'After this first; trip William drove
him often, and Conoughton began to
almost like the odd little fellow whose
knowledge of the use of the word
"sir" was only two weeks old, and
whose freedom of conversation would
have shocked his correct grandfather.
For William was quite willing to talk,
atjd Conoughton learned several
things he had not known before, and
incidentally got a side-light on Col
llns's character that rather surprised
hjm. It appeared that Lord Falrhav
en's valet had not turned out well,
ajid toward ths last they had been
almost entirely, supported by the old
butler In America,

Occasionally the bird that has beeu

possessed good health may develop

quick growing, curly muluring bird
that luiikes the most profitable pro
ducer. '
Mv di'teriiiiuing this while the birds
tlou was spent by his father for
drink. Finally, the boy had broken
away and come to America. , ',
But Conoughton'a thoughts, Juiit
then, were more upon the coming
house-partyr-and Denlse-than upon
his chauffeur; and when the day of
her advent at last arrived he was In
a state of nervous excitement such
as he had not known for years. '
He met Denlse and her mother In
New York and motoreU them down,
the rest of the guests arriving In va
rious ways, he cared very little how.
Never had the girl been more lovely,
never had she been more gracious to
him; and he asked himself wonder
lngly how he could have waited so
long. f
Yet,, for some undefined reason, he
still hesitated. Every morning he de
termined that that day should see
things settled, one way or the other;
and every night he retired wondering
why It was that he had allowed op
portunity after opportunity to pass.
But at last came a night which
Fate seemed to have specially pre
pared. There was to ie a dance at
a country-house thirtj miles away.
The whole party were to motor over,
and Mrs. Maxwell being 111, Denlse
would go with him alone.
Thirty miles by motor Is a short
run or a long one, as the driver
chooses and conditions warrant.
Whether by acldent or design, all the
other cars had gone ahead when Con
oughton and Denlse finally came out
and he assisted her into the tomieau
of a big Mercedes. -
"What's this?" he exclaimed as he
was about to follow, ".Where Is Will
iam. "Where Is William tonight?"
"He's sick, sir," replied the chauf
feur, "hurt hla foot this afternoon,
sir, and can't walk."
"Well, that's a comfort," said De
nlse, before Conoughton. could reply;
"I do not see how you can endure
that horrible little cockney, Leslie.
He-he's awful!'' C ?
Conoughton laughed, "Don't you
like my 'Sweet William?' " he asked
as he took the seat beside her. "He's

Wisconsin Prohibits the
Importation of White Pine
.Mudinon, Wis., Aug. JS. Wisconsin

its appeiirnnce in this state.
"If this disease should escape into

"Do you always employ all your
old servants' freak relatives?" shs
asked tartly.
Conoughton looked at her quickly.
"Wouldn't you," he returned, "under
the circumstances. . v,i
Denlse shrugged her shoulders and
laughed nonchalantly. In a few mo
ments they were speeding over the
smooth Long Island roads under the
light of a pale half-moon, , . ,
For several miles neither spoke;
there was some spell in the silent
beauty of the night, the swift, smooth
motion, the nearness of the girl at
his side, that held Conoughton speech
less, almost awed; it was quite as If
they were alone the chauffeur see.mi

"Oh, stop, please!" she cried to the
chauffeur. "I'm awfully sorry, Les

Conoughton, "but we'll have to go
back. I left all my jewelry on the
dresser I took it out to get a certain
ring to wear tonight, and I've just
remembered that I didn't put it back
in the safe." N.'.fciB''
Conoughton was distinctly annoyed,
"Is that all?" he replied. And then
more politely: "I wouldn't worry;
about 'that; It's perfectly safe; and,
anyway, your maid will attend to It."-

1 Attracts Foreigners
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis Or. July 2. Impressed by the close
relation between the science and prac
tice of horticulture in Oregon, Olav
Kinset, municipal horticulturist of the
government experiment station of Nor
way, and supervisor of the fruit grow
ers association, has crossed the At
lantic ocean and the North American
contineut in order to make a close
study of Oregon horticultural methods.
Mr. Kinset was sent by his govern
ment to mako this investigation with
a view to adopting Pacific const prac
tices in Norway.
In Norway the science and the prac
tice of horticulture are as yet wide
apart, according to Professor Kinset.
Mince a grcnt deal of fruit is grown,
especially in western Norway where
the climate is so mild that thn her
thermometer seldom registers twenty
degrees below freezing, considerable
quantities of good . fruit are already
produced, by the use of more scientific
methods of growing, protecing and
marketing the crop, production could
be greatly increased, greatly to the
benefit of agriculture, manufacturing
and other industries. Professor Kinset
is making a second visit to the O. A.
('. experiment station and lira mil sta
tions ami to various large orchards of
Oregon, to make a more intimate studv
of the details ot Oregon horticultural
methods. Varieties, methods of plant
ing, culture, pruning, thinning, spray
ing nad harvesting fruit, all will re
ceivo a share of a 1 ten tion. Professor
Kinset expects to work in a Medford
ori hanl tor two months in order to in
form himself fully on various points
onnected with these phases of the
work.
The west he finds, and especially the
Pacific, coast states, lias developed
lue orcharding industry much more si-i--ntifiially
than any other part of the
-ouiitry. Hence, it was to the west he
i'Ujue to pursue his studies. -From
Medl'ord he will go to California to
investigate California orchard prac
tices, lie will then go to Rochester,
New York, where he will investigate
the factory systems of the huge by
products plants at that place engaged
in the manufacture of vinegar, fruit
.juices. evaioratix fruits, and other
by-products. In the hitter purt of the
year lie will-return to his own country
and next year begin the introduction
of the methods learned here to the
trait growers of Norway.

Conoughton' ran to the window.' In
the faint moonlight he could see a

even as he looked it fell back with an

boy began to whine; "I'm not going

he threw him Into it and locked the .
door, just as Denlse herself cams into

New Good Roads Law
How Money Is Divided
and How It May Be Spent
(By Tniti-d Tress.)
Washington, Aug. 5. No "pork bar
rel scandals" will result from the new
Shackleford good roads law just signed
by President Wibou, the uu.thors de
clare. Instead they expect the system estab
lished, that of contributing federal aid
to the states for the construction of
good roads, will be so free from criti
cisim and so helpful in building up a
system of internal improvements, that
congress will be willing after the 7o.
UOO.iinO is spent, to vote new appropria
tions. Good roads advocates say the new
law is epochmnking. It is istended, to
gether with the rural ereitit system, to
improve the conditions of country life
and to stop the flow of population
from the couutry to the city.
Good roads, with tin- automobile, will
destroy the lonely existence of the far
mer. Opportunities of association with
neighbors, it is believed, will make the
country boy more willing to stay on
tlu farm.
If 4he automtiile owners think the
Shackleford law is intended solely for
them, they arc badly fooled. So" savs
Representative Saunders, of Virginia,
one of the authors.
"There will be n howl going up to
heaven if the Department of Agricul
ture picks for improvement only such
niniu r.uids as the automobile iiwuers
prefer," said Saunders today. He is an
untuuiouue owner himself. "We want
the backronds improved for the man
who now is hemmed iu on all sides in
winter by impassible roads."
The appropriations, under the pro
vision of the luw, will be paid to the
state in five installments S)5.00ll.00l
the first year, $lil,uM,noo the second
year. I5.HiiO the third year, $il).ii(i(l,(U)0
the 'fourth year, and V-5.n00.000 the
fifth year.
The money will be divided among the
slutes, one-third in tho ratio of the
area, one-third on the basis of popula
tion aud one-third on the basis of the
number of miles of rural delivery.
Payment for the const ruction of roads
will be on a fifty-fifty basis. If the
states-agrees to provide half the cost,
the federal goveriyueut will furuish the
rest. Road projects must be approved
by the Department of Agriculture and
the law is entirely silent on the nature
of the improvement, whether it is a
brick, macadam, or common dirn roads.
These details are left entirelv to the
state. v -
"If this law fails to work, responsi
bility will rest on the Department of
Agriculture, for it is vested with all
power," said Saunders. "Congress
leaves hands off. and there will 1 nn

But Conoughton took a step to- -

though his tone was low there was
a quality of command in it that sh
did not dare disobey.
"I Will be more courteous than
you," she said bitterly. "Since you
demand it, I will remain sllerff!" An
she turned toward the door. Con
oughton laid his hand on her arm."
"Denlse," he said very gravely,'
. though his voice trembled with emo-J
tion, "I don't want you to do it for,,
me. Can't you understand what I
want what I mean? Do it for poor!
old Collins." j
She looked at him in genuine sur
prise. "For Collins!" she repeated.''
"Why should I?" it
Conoughfon's hand dropped to hla
side. "I am. very sorry," he said)
softly,

"Mr. Leslie, sir." - Jy
Conoughton looked up, a smile on'

"It's William, sir," answered tha
old butler, in a tone of gentle pride.'
"I've jjist received a letter from him, I
sir. I thought you might like tot'
know he'd arrived safe at the ranch.''
Sir, and is much pleased. He's got'
notions, sir, like Etta, but he's a1
good boy. And it's good of you to'
humor him." i
Conoughton smiled sadly. "That's)
all right, Collins," he said ouletly. :
