The nice Creature Diana hoped

Dlnnrf
It wa wonderful how real voices
sometimes sounded in a dream
she found hoi self listening with
htrulncd attention to hear it once
more hut everything was silent
mid n sigh of hitter disappoint
ineit escaped her
Tho other halt of her senses
was waking up now tho half
that told her that she was only
di earning and Diana knew only
too well what that meant It meant
that presently sho would hoar
Anna drawing the cm tains their
i Ings nlwnys made such a nasty
llttlo rattle and she would have
to yawn elaborately nnd protend
i ho hud slept well hefoie she
opmiod her eyes to tho world of
emptiness
Diana
She turned again to whore in
her dream Hath bono had sat bo
side her lie was still theje leaning
a little towards her his daik
ryes on her face
Diana kept very still Poilinps
r1i < might manage to fall asleep
Again and go on diearning if she
was very caicful
Sho wished ho would hold her
hand hut you couldnt do that in
dreams It would be like the dieam
you had sometimes that you woie
fulling down a gient hill A dieam
In which you knew that any moment
you might reach tho bottom
and bo killed only you never
iid
She began to whimper faintly
Let mo go lot me go
Diana
She knew that bho was sink
iH away but sho did not mind
here was no bed under her any
moie hut just clouds soft fleecy
< onds that woro letting her down

u not liko him he was always
i rf ndy to hoai other peoples

Lint jho could not help him now
8ha was too tiied to tiy any
two to make him smilo If he
tould just lot her alone she was
ouito happy
Never leuve you again never
mire you again
She turned her face fretfully
fioin him she didnt bellovo him
It was Just another mso to keep
1 ir from going to sleep the
< eep she had longed for so wearily
and tried so haul to capture
ho might letivo hor aloiio now
the had so nearly won tluough
t last
IMana
ft was as if ho wore fighting
hoi for cveiy step of the ground
over which she was slowly slip
plug away and at flist sho know
contentedly that ho was losing
that in spite of her weakness nnd
his strength ho would not bo able
to hold her back
Kuntiy that seemed for a great
big mnn to bo conquered by a
llttlo girl Sho began to bo faintly
Interested to wonder why it
should he Lifo was full of things
impossible to explain She only
knew that she was utterly weary
and that she wanted to sleep
Sho said so prosontly half crying
feebly but ho was relentless
he would not lot her go
Ior a moment she fought him
Rathbone bent and Just touched her lips with his own
in with a llttlo sight and a half
smilo Youve got your own way
then
She had said that to him once
befoio long ago nnd he had
answered I goneially do in tho
long i un
She waited now to hear him
say it again Tho dream wasnt
coining light somehow
She opened her eyos with n
last ofoit tiylng to see his face
but now alio couldnt ho was
hiding it fiom her against her
hands as ho had done that night
in the
Ho was unhappy and sho hated
him to lie unhappy she know
so well how it felt
She gave a little sigh cf weary
capitulation
You always got your own
way sho whispered
The last woul was lost as she
fil asleep
It was neaily five oclock in
the mottling when Anna who had
steadily l el used to take any lest
slipped again into Dianas loom
llalhbouo was still tluiio stand
lug at tho foot of tho bed his
eyes on Dianas quiet laco
Anna ciopt up to him
Is she betloi
Hathboue nodded silontly
Is she will she live

Anna closed hor eyos for a
moment then sho asked

Ho shook his head but she
said uigontly

night when ovnn Hathbono himself
had given up hope or hadnt
ho She could not ho quite sine
but she know that If ever a man
bad tought for a womans life ho
nnd fought for Dianas
It was as If by sheer will power
ho had kept her fiom slipping
a way
Of com so ho was in lovo with
lir Anna found an odd saliiac
Hon in a dlscoveiy of which she
was coitain that everybody else
was as yet ignorant

with tho lust remnants of her I there had beon one moment at
strength then suddenly sho gave I least dining tho long terrible
J wVs
Vy <
n onionl sho said reluctantly Im
tifiuu1 Its something very urgent
sir
Very well Ill come
lio bent over Dlanu his fingers
on hor wrist for a moment
then ho turned and walked out
uf tho room
Anna took his place at tho foot
o the bed 1hyslcally she was
half asleep hut hor brain had
never been more active and awake
She was thinking how queer It
was that some women got all
tho lovo while others more
worthy and hard working wero
passed by
She knew how near Diana had
been to death she knew that
ME TULfA HERALD
Mrs Gladwyn had refused to
como into tho room at all sho
had taken cowardly refuge In a
fit of hysteria when she was told
that by mistake Diana had tak
di an overdose of morphino and
might die
It had given Anna some satisfaction
also to be free to smack
her face with a wet lowol and
toll her to behave Anna had
never liked Mrs Gladwyn and
this seemed a heaven sent opportunity
to repay the many little
Indignities she had suffered at that
ladys hands
She was half dozing holding
firmly to the bed rail when Hath
bono came hack It might have
been five minutes or half an hour
later at five oclock In the morn
lug It Is difficult to keep track
of time
Anna started awake smiling in
norvous apology a smilo which
quickly faded as she saw Rath
bones face
Why sir she stainmorcd
Ho waved hor away impaUontly
Its all right You can go You
had better go to bed I shall stay
till tho morning
If you would like mo to stay
Anna ventured timidly
No Mnrkhams up If I want
anything
Anna crept away closing the
door behind her
CHAPTER XXVI
Hathbono went back to his old
place beside Diana
Tlieie was a curious gray look
In his face and he sat for a longtime
his hands clenched between
his knees his oyes staling blankly
before him
He kept seeing nightmare pictures
of a river of a woman and
of a boy a boy who had gtvon
his life in an unavailing attempt
to save her
llobson had biokcu down and
sobbed as ho told how they had
at last found them
Clasped In each others arms
lh < = y wore as If shed clung to
hini and dragged him down Id
have given my life sir rather
than anything should have happened
to her
Diana stiried a llttlo in her
sleep and Hathbono turned his
bend slowly and looked at her
Hotter Rosalies lifo than this
childs il one of them hud to go
If It had been Diana the last
nix weeks rose before him a
nightmare panorama
He had tried to do tho best
thing for her and ho had done
the woist Ho had meant to be
kind and he hnd only succeeded
in being brutally ciuel
In an aching imagination he
ascom says
s call was
worth 1
rs Clyde Bascom left her
dinner cooking while she weed
ed the garden Just as she reentered
the kitchen the kerosene stove exploded
Her first move the telephone
Central My house is on fire
And Lucy Adams at the switchboard did the rest
Too far out for city water she reasoned Then quickly
she called a half dozen men who hud cars They sped to
the scene Water from a cistern saved the Bascom home
Next day the operator again plugged in It was
Mrs Bascom
Lucy you sure got help out here in a hurry That
call was worth 1000 to me Dont know what Id have
done if the house had burned
Day or night the telephone is ready for your calls It
may be an order at the store a call for the doctor
your house on fire or just to visit with neighbors
Your telephone may be worth a nickel today a
quarter tomorrow a thousand dollars next week
You can buy few things which cost so little and are
worth so much

saw her ngaln silting at that
long dining table In her vtUdo
frock so far away from lilm and
so brave Ho had not guessed
that it hnd boon bb great a torment
to her as It had beon to
him
Supposing lie had still been
away He know that the chances
were that Diana would havo died
This night had sottled all question
of tho future not again
would he let her go away from
him Ho would havo to find someway
Then suddenly ho romom
bored tho river nnd Hobsons
broken story
He was free hut at what a
cost Tho life of the woman whom
he had cared for and sheltered
for so many years and tho life
of a boy who as yet had known
nothing of life Perhaps in that
Jonns was fortunate ho was a
dreamer and dreamers suffer
Hathbono know that now tho
Mory of his marrlago would have
to bo made known something
fresh for tho claws of gossiping
vulture to tenr to pieces Not
that ho cared for himself but It
hurt him Inexpressibly for Dianas
sake and in a lesser degree for
Rosalios Sho had meant nothing
in his life and yet ho know
ho would never forget her the
pitiful untenl thing that had lived
for so long In his shadow
Rosalie wife of Donald Rath
bone
That was what the vultures
would expect him to write on her
tombstone there seemed something
of sardonic humor in it as
he sut theic his eyos on Dianas
face
Sho was his wife tho one love
of his life oven If ho had never
seen her again nobody would
over havo drawn near to her
placo In his heart
Half child half woman spoilt
wilful intolerant of life when It
wont the way sho did not wish
he yot loved her with ovory
impulse of his manhood
Anil she loved him for a moment
ho lost himself in the won

der of that thought and of her
sleeping faco
Somowhero in tho house a clock
rhlmrd six nnd ho stood up
stretching his arms feeling wearied
to death and yet amllst all
Urn tragedy surround him conscious
of a qulot perfect happiness
which nothing could spoil
Diana stirred a little as if conscious
of his movement fearing
that ho was leaving her
Rathbone stood still and sho
turned her head looking at him
with halfconscious oyes whispering
his name
Donall
Yes my heart
Her hand fluttered a little to
wants him and he took It in his
qulot and strongly as If with Jt
he took her also body and soul
He saw a llttlo doubt flicker
ueiosB her eyes and vanish
It isnt a dream she asked
No Diana
And youll never send me away
again
Never again
Sho gave a sigh of contentment
f dont know whats going to
happen to us she said drowsily
half asleep once more
Hut I know It will ho all
right always If were together
Rathbone bent and just touched
her lips With his own

The highways of Texas are the property of its citizens They constitute
a system of nearly 200000 miles of road of which 20000 miles are designated
as State highways and the remainder are county roads All types of
road are represented in this systeii lss than 5 have socalled permanent
surface
The total cost of these highways is unknown but it amounts to many
hundred million dolU rs From 1917 to 1930 inclusive counties and road
districts of the State issued 243592834 in bonds for the construction and
improvement of roa i i and bridges In the twoyear period ending August
31 1930 tho State Highway Commission expended 89032825 of which
22488420 was foi t uintenance of the State highways
In view of these tu icndous costs the preservation of our nignways from
rapid wear and desti ULtion is a matter of very vital interest to their owners
viz the public Ii is especially important that they be made to outlast
the life of the bonds which run from 20 to 30 years
The use of the public highways for commercial purposes is not a right
but a privilege which may be withheld or granted subject to such restrictions
regulations and charges as the Legislature may see fit to impose
Such regulations are intended to promote safety preserve the highways
and safeguard the interests of the public
Texas Kaliroads wmen pay the entire cost of construction and maintenance
of their own roadbeds and in addition make substantial contributions
to the cost of Texas highways are thoroughly regulated with respect
to their services rates methods and practices There is no good reason why
commercial users of the highways built and maintained at the expense of
the public should not likewise be regulated to such extent as the public
interest requires and pay such charges as will represent proper compensation
for the privileges granted them
The statutes governing highway transportation as enacted by the Forty
second Legislature represent the wishes of the citizens of this Stale and
express their desire to give equal rights to all and special privileges to none
These statutes should be given a fair trial and their value ascertained
Unless this is done a chaotic condition in transportation as a whole will
surely ensue
