I demand ed, looking at bim with what must bave been such fear and madness it my face that he was startled as he came close to the table against which I leaned. His face bad grown white and quiet at my attack. and he waiter to answer for a long, horrible minute that pulled me apart like one of those inquisition machines they used to torture women with when they didn't know any better modern way to do It. "I didn't know Bill would tell you SO soon, Mrs. Molly," he said at last gently, looking past me out of the window into the garden, "I was coming over just as soon as I got back from this call to talk with you about it, even if it did seem to intrude Bill's and my affairs into a day that--that ought to be all yours to be -be happy in.

But Bill, you see, is no respecter of-of other people's happy days if he. wants them in "Billy's bappy days are mine, and mine are his, and he has the heart not to leave me out even if you would bave him!" I exclaimed, a sob gathering in my heart at the thought that my little lover hadn't even taken in a sitnation that would separate him from me across an ocean. "Bill is too young to understand when be 1s-18 being bereaved, Molly." he said, and still he didn't look at me. "I have been appointed a delegate to represent the State Medical association at the centennial congress in London the middle of next month, and somebow I feel a bit pulled lately. and 1 thought I would take the little chap and bave-bave a You won't need him now.

Mrs. Peaches. and I couldn't go without him, could The sadness in his voice would have killed me if I hadn't let it madden me instead. "Won't need Billy any more?" I exclaimed, with a rage that made my voice literally scorch past my lips "Was there ever a minute in his life that I haven't needed Billy? How dare you say such a thing to me? You are cruel, cruel, and. I have always known it--cold and cruel like all other men who don't care how they wring the life blood out of women's bearts and are willing to use their children to do i it with.

Even the law doesn't help us poor helpless creatures, and you can take our children and go with them to the ends of the earth and leave us suf fering. I have gone on and believed that you were not like what the wo men say all men are and that you cared whether you hurt people or not but now I see that you are just the same, and you'll take my baby away if you want to. and I can do nothing to prevent it -nothing in the wide world. I am completely and absolutely helpless. You coward, you!" When that awful word, the worst word that a woman can use to a man.

He down in his chair and shook all over, with his bead in his hands. until I saw tears creep through his fingers. I had calmed down 80 suddenly that I was about to begin to cry in good earnest, when he wiped and said, with a low laugh in his eyes throat: "The case is yours, Molly, settled out of court, and the nine points of the law clause' works in some.

cases for a woman against 2 man. Generally speaking anyway, the pup belongs to the man who can whis tle him down, and you can whistle Bil from me any day. I'm just his father and what I think or want doesn't mat ter. You had better take him and keep bim." "I intend to," I answered haughtily uncertain as to whether I bad bette: give in and be agreeable or stay pre pared to cry in case there was further argument. But suddenly a strange dif fidence came into his eyes, and he look ed away from me as he said in queer hesitating words: "You see, Mrs.

Molly, I thought fron now on your life wouldn't have exact ly a place for Bill. Have you consid ered that you have trained him to de mand you all the time and all of you? How would you manage Bill-andand other claims?" LEAF ELEVENTH. A Heart of Gold. there is a contagious thing in this world it is embarrass Dient. I never felt anything worse in all my life than the shame that swept over me in great hot wave when that look came into his eyes and made me realize just exactly what I had been saying to him about what, and how I had said it.

Louis. SNOW SURVEYED IN UTAH. Water Available for Irrigation Estimated That Way. Mountain snow is survey in Utah by the United States Weather Bureau for the purpose of determining early in March the probable summer flow of irrigation streams. The plan is to go into the headwater regions of streams whose water is fully appropriated, toward the close of the snow storing season, yet prior to the beginning of actual farming operations, and determine by hundreds of systematic depth, density and water equivalent measurements of the snow, the amount of water stored which would subsequently flow to the service of the valley irrigators.

This being determined, a precipitation record at a representative place shows the amount of water added to the water shed after the completion of the survey; and a daily stream flow measurement at a flume, constructed above the highest water using farm, shows the daily depletion of the supply indicated by the survey.
