Washington, June 1.—Influential
persons from all parts of the country
are writing their senators and repre-
.'lentatives in congress demanding that
the Neill packing bouse ieport be given
to the public. A well known senator
is quoted as saying that the people
have a right to know how the food
■sold to them is prepared and If the
public generally make the demand
strong enough the report exposing ths
horrors of the packing houses will be
published.
Almost without exception the Eastern
newspapers demand the publication of
the report on the ground that greater
damage and distrust will be occasioned
by the president’s failure to do so than
could possibly result from the publlca
tion.
Representative Crumpacker of In-
diana introduced a bill Thursday as
a substitute for the Beveridge meat
inspection amendment placed on the
agriculture bill in the senate. The bill
defines the authority which may be
vested In the secretary of agriculture
so as not to conflict with the police
powers of the state. Provision is
made whereby the secretary of agri-
culture may accept the Inspection of
state officers as to the sanitary condi-
tion of packing houses. Where such
state inspection is accepted by the sec-
retary federal inspection in transit
will not be made.
Mr. Crumpacker believes that the
Peveridge amendment In authorizing
federal inspection of packing houses
is a violation of the police powers of
the state and that all of the ruling3
sustain this position.
Edward Cudahy, head of the Cudahy
Packing company of Omaha, Neb., lias
written members of the Nebraska del-
egation in congress protesting agaainst
the Btverldge amendment. He objects
to the provision compelling the pack-
ers to pay for the inspection and
complains that the bill Is too drastic
In every particular.
President Roosevelt late Thursday
consulted with Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture and Senator
Jleveridge regarding the [Be ve nidge
amendment to the agricultural appro
priatlon bill. Special agent Reynolds
and Commissioner of Labor Neill, who
investigated the conditions at Chicago
and other places fbr the president and
several of the subordinate officials of
the department of agriculture Includ'ng
Alonzo D. Melvin, the chief of the
bureau of animal industry and George
P. McCabe, the solicitor of the depart-
ment also were present. There was
a very full and free discussion of ihe
probable effect of the operations of the
Beveridge amendment, but none of
those present was willing to tell de-
tails of the conference.
Americana lint the Kefune.
Liverpool, June 1:— At a meeting
Thursday of the municipal health
hoard It was stated that samples oi
Chicago and other American canned
meat have been submitted weekly foi
bacteriological examination with the
result that no ground for apprehension
had been discovered. The opinion
was expressed that what Is deleterious
is kept for American consumption.
K.iutn* Cltr’i Inspector Tnlkjt.
Kansas City, Mo.. June 1.—Eastern
newspapers are bombarding their
Kansas City correspondents for infor-
mation regarding the local meat in-
spection regulations. “They suppose.”
said Meat Inspector Cutler, ’that the
packing houses are in Kansas City and
that we govern the method of Inspec-
tion. As a matter of fact, we make no
Inspection here, and across the line
they do not seem to make much more
that is effective .if the Neill report is
to he credited.”
“The inspection to-day Is not an In-
spection.” continued Inspector Cutler,
who was one of the first government
inspectors to withhold the Btauip 'in-
spected’ from tainted meat. The re-
jected carcass is left on the floor, un-
stamped. It ought to escorted to the
soap tank If the Inspection was
meant to be Inspection.
Being a Kansas City official. Inspec-
tor Cutler has no right to cross the
state line and Inspect meats In the
packing houses.
Springtime—after the weather has
become well settled—is painting
time. There Is no dust flying, no in-
sects are in the air at that time ready
to commit suicide by suffocation in
the coat of fresh paint. The atmos-
pheric conditions are also favorable
at that season for proper drying and
Increased life of the paint.
it should be a habit with every
property owner every spring to look
over his buildings, etc., and see if
they need repainting; not merely to
see If they "will go another year,”
but whether the time has not come
for putting in the proverbial "stitch
in time" which shall eventually “save
nine.” For one coat of paint applied
ust a little before it is actually need-
ed will often save most of the paint
on the building by preventing it from
letting go and causing endless trou-
ble and expense.
Paint lets go because linseed oil,
which is the “cement” that holds all
good paint together, gradually decays
or oxidizes, just as iron exposed to
air and dampness will slowly decay
or oxidize. The water and oxygen in
the air are the cause of the troubio
in both cases, and the only reason,
outside of its beautifying effect, that
we apply paint to wood or Iron Is be-
cause we want to keep water and
air away from them. Live paint,
that is paint in which the linseed oil
is still oily, does this very effectual-
ly; but dead paint, that is paint in
which the oil is no longer oily, is no
more impervious to air and water
than a single thickness of cheese-
cloth would be. If then we apply a
fresh coat ot oily paint before the
old paint is dead, the oil from the
new coat will penetrate the old coat,
and the whole coating will once more
become alive; and this method of ren-
ovation may go on Indefinitely.
This explains why it is better econ-
omy to repaint a little before it be-
comes absolutely necessary than a
little after. When the paint is once
dead the fresh coat will pull the
whole coating off.
In the days when repainting meant
a general turning of things upside
down, a two-weeks’ “cluttering up”
of the place with kegs, cans and
pails, a lot of inflammable and ill-
smelling materials standing around,
etc., the dread of painting time was
natural. So was the dread of soap-
making time, of shirt-making time, of
candle-moulding time and the like.
But we live in an age when soap
comes from the store better and
cheaper than we can make it, when
shirts are sold ready made for less
than we can buy the materials, when
we can burn coal oil or gas cheaper
than we can make tallow candles,
and when all we have to do when we
want to repaint is to pick out «ur
colors from the card at the store and
pay the painter for putting on the
paint.
When it comes to picking out the
paint It is not necessary that one
should be a paint chemist, any more
than one should be an oil chemist
when buying kerosene, or a depart
ment store buyer when selecting
shirts, or a soap chemist when buy-
ing soap. All that is necessary to
insure a fair show is some knowl-
edge of the character of our paint
dealer and the reputation and stand-
ing of the maker of the paint offered.
Nor must one expect to buy a pure
linseed oil paint for the price of lin-
seed oil alone. It can be taken for
granted when anyone offers to sell
dollar bills at a discount, he is bait-
ing a hook for “suckers.” So it can
be taken for granted when anyone—
whether mall order house, paint
manufacturer or dealer—offers paint
too cheap, he is bidding for the trade
of "suckers,” no matter what his
promises.
But paints sold In responsible
stores under the brands of reputable
manufacturers are all good products,
differing from one another In the less
important matter of the solid pig-
ments contained, but practically alike
in having their liquid portions com-
posed essentially of pure linseed oil.
The competition of the better class
of paints has driven inferior goods
practically out of the market, and
no manufacturer of standing now
puts out a poor paint, under his own
name at least.
As to guarantees on paint, they
can ho taken for what they are worth.
Any reputable manufacturer will
make good any defect actually trace-
able to the paint Itself and not to im-
proper use or treatment of it. The
really important guarantee which the
paint buyer should exact from his
dealer Is that the paint is made by a
manufacturer that knows his busi-
ness and that the paint itself has a
record. If he secures this guarantee
he can afford to chance the rest of
It—the paint will undoubtedly give
good service If properly appllec ac-
cording to directions.

CHAPTER XX.—Costinwed.
“Precisely,” was the smiling rejoln-
i.nob.
"Do 1 understand that you refuse to
move In a matter which should be the
first duty of a good citizen, Mr. Kent?"
he asked, purringly.
"1 certainly flo refuse to fall into
any such clumsy trap as you have
been trying to bait for me. Mr. Meigs."
said David Kent, dropping back Into
his former curtness.
The door opened slowly under the
impulse of the slender womanish hand.
"You have a task of some magnitude
before you, Mr. Kent. You can scarcely
hope to accomplish It alone."
The door closed softly behind the re-
treating figure of the attorney general,
and Kent released the spring of the
night-latch. Then he went to the
droj ped portiere at the farther end of
the room, drew It aside and looked In
on n man who was writing at a table
pushed out between the windows
"You heard him, Loring?” he asked.
The ex-manager nodded.
"They are hard pressed," he said.
Then, looking up quickly: “You could
name your price if you wanted to close
out tlie stock of goods in hand, David."
It was in the afternoon of the same
day that Kent found a note tn his key-
box at the Clardendon asking him to
call ui> 124 Tejon avenue by telephone.
He did it at once, and Penelope an-
swered. The key-box note had been
placed at Elinor's request, and she.
Miss Penelope, could not say what
was wanted; neither could she say
definitely when her Rister would be In.
Elinor had gone out an hour earlier
with Mr. Ormsby and Mtss Van Brook
in Mr. Ormsby's motor-car. When was
lie. Daivd Kent, coming up? Did be
know th«y were talking of spending
the remainder of the summer at
Breezeland inn? And where was Mr.
Loring all this time?
Kent made fitting answers to all
Ihese queries, hung up the ear-piece
anil went away moodily reflective.
He was due at a meeting of the exec-
utive committee of the Civic league,
but he let the public business wait
while he speculated upon the probable
object of Elinor’s telephoning him.
Now there is no field in which the
Inconsistency of human nature Is so
laconic reply, but he was anticipating
ihe sequent demand which came like
a shot out of a gun.
"And there never has been?"
Ormaby grinned.
“When you are digging a well and
have found your stream of water, It's
folly to go deeper, David. Can't you
let 'good enough' alone?”
Kent turned it over in his mind,
frowning thoughtfully into Ills coffee-
cup. When lie spoke It was out of the
mid-heart of manliness.
“I wish you would tell me one thing,
Ormaby. Am 1 responsible for—for
the present state of affairs?”
Ormsby stretched the truth a little;
partly for Elinor's sake: more, per-
haps. for Kent's.
"You have done nothing that an
honorable rival—and Incidentally a
good friend of mine—might not do.
Therefore you are not responsible.”
"That is putting It very diplomatic-
ally," Kent mused. “I am afraid it
does not exonerate me wholly.”
"Yes. It dors. But It doesn't put me
out of the running, you understand.
I'm 'fornlnst' you yet; rather more
stubbornly than before, I fancy.”
Kent nodded.
"That, of course; I should think less
of you if you were not. And you shall
have as fair a show ns you nre giving
me—which is saying a lot. Shall we
go and smoke?”
CHAPTER XXI.
A BORROWED CONSCIENCE.
The conversation on the Brentwood
porch was chiefly of Breezeland inn
think ? You spoke of a danger which
was not the violent kind, such a3 Lo-
ring fears. What is it?”
"You have had two whole days,"
she rejoined. “Haven't you discovered
it?"
"I haven’t found anything to fear
but failure,” was his reply.
"That Is it; you have given it a
name—Its only true name—failure.”
"But 1 am not going to fail."
"You menn you are going to take our
railroad away from these men who
hav> stolen it?”
"That Is what I mean."
"And you will do it by threatening
to expose them?"
"I shall tell Governor Bucks what 1
know about the oil field deal, assur-
ing him that I shall publish the facts
if he doesn’t let the law take Its course
in ousting Judge MacFarlane and the
receiver."
She rose and stood before him. lean-
ing against one of the vino-clad porch
pillars with her hands behind her.
"David Kent, are there any circum-
stances in which you would accept a
bribe?"
He answered her in all seriousness.
"They say every man has his price:
mine is higher than any bid they have
>et mad—or can make, I hope.”
"Why don’t you let them bribe you?”
she asked coolly. "Is It because It la
Inexpedient—because there is more
•success’ the other way?”
He tried to emulate her coolness and
made a failure of it.
"Have 1 ever done anything to make
you think I had thrown common hon-
esty anil sclf-ro3pect overboard?” he
demanded.
Iter answer was another question,
sharp-edged and well thrust home.
"Is It any worse to take a bribe
than It Is to give one? You have Just
admitted that you are going to buy tho
governor’s neutrality, you know."
"I don't see it tn that light at all.”

ly by the public press of juggling with
foreign corporations—have led me to
believe that as the public prosecutor
1 may have duties which transcend all

party standard—of—”
Kent took his turn at interrupting.
“Mr. Meigs, there is nothing to be
gained by indirection. May I ask you
to come to the point?”
“Briefly, then: the course pursued
by Senator Duvall in the Belmount af
fair leaves an unproved charge against
others; a charge which 1 am deter
mined to sift to llie bottom —you see,
I am speaking quite lrankly. That
charge involves the reputation of
men high in authority; but I shall be
strong to do my sworn duty, Mr.
Kent: I ask you to believe that."
Kent nodded ami waved him on.
“You will readily understand the
delicacy of the task, and how. in the
nature of Ihings, I am handicapped
and hedged up on every side. Evi-
dence—of a kind to enable me to as-
sail a popular idol—Is exceedingly dif
ficult to procure."
"It is." said Kent, grimly.
"Exactly. Bui in revolving the mat
trr in my own mind. 1 thought of you.
You are known at the capital, Mr.
Kent, and I may Fay throughout ni-
ctate. as the uncompromising antagon-
ist of the state administration. I
have r.sked myself this: Is It possi-
ble that a cool-headed, resolute attor-
ney like Mr. David Kent would move
so far and so determinedly in thi*.
matter of antagonism without substau
tially paving the ground under his
feet with evidence ns he went along?"
Kent admitted that it was possible,
but highly improbable.
"So I declde-d," was the amlie-tem
pered rejoinder. "In that ease It only
remains for me to remind you of your
public duty, Mr. Kent; to ask you
the name of justice and of the peopl
of the state, to place your information
in the hands of the public prosecutor.”
Kent's face betrayed nothing more
than his appreciation of the confidence
reposrd In him by the man whose high
sense of official honor was mailing hltu
turn trailor to the party leader who
had dragged h'm through a successful
election.
“I have what evidence I need, Mr.
Meigs," lie dccl .red. "But If I make
no secret of this, neither do I corneal
the fact that the motive pm bono pub-
lico has had little to do with Its ac-
cumulating. I want Justice first for
what might be called a purely private
end. and I mean to have It."
"Pre-clst-ly." smiled the attorney
general. "And now we are beginning
to see our way a little clearer. It is
not too late for u* to move In the quo

bargain with them.”
Kent was silent for a long time.
When he spoke it was to say:
"Why have you done this, Elinor?”
“Heacnac I had to, David. Could I
do less?”
"I suppose not. It’a in the blood—
in yo n- blood and mine. Other folk
call it th» Puritan virus of over-
righteousness, and scoff at it. I don’t
know: sometimes I think they have
the beat of the argument.”
"I can't believe you are quite sin-
cere when you say that.” she asserted.
“Yes, I am. One cannot compromise
with conscience; that says Itself. But
1 have come to believe latterly that
one's conscience may be morbidly
acute, cr even diseased. I’ll admit
I've been taking treatment.”
‘That sounds very dreadful,” she
rejoined.
“It does, doesn't It? Yet It had to
be done. As 1 intimated a few min-
utes ago. my life has hitherto been a
sort ot imusteniatlous failure. 1 used
to think It was because I was out-
classed. 1 know now It has been be-
cause I wouldn’t do as other men do.
It has been a rather heart-breaking
process—to tort out the scruples, ad-
n ltting the just and overriding the
others—-but 1 have been given to see
that it Is the price of success.”
"I want you to succeed,” she said.
"Pardon me: I don’t think you do.
You have reopened the door to doubt,
and if I admit the doubt I shall fail.”

by at the nodus of his point of view
David Kent made no secret of hts open
rivalry of the millionaire, declaring
Ills intention boldly and taking no
shame therefor. But when he laced
about, toward Elinor he found himself
growing hotly jealous for her good
faith; careful aud fearful lest she
should say or do something not strict-
ly in accordance with the letter and
spirit of her obligations as Ormsby's
fiancee.
For this cause hi- had been postpon-
ing the promised visit, and thereby
postponing the taking of the final step
in the campaign of intimidation. , The
unexplained telephone call decided
him, however. He would go and see
Elinor and have the ordeal over with.
But as a preliminary he dined that
evening with Ormsby at the Cumelot

“I am going out to see Miss Brent-

shrewdest of overlooks, ending with
a deep-rumbling laugh.

Ormsby laughed again
an outbound electric car stopped at
the corner below and Loring came up
to make a quartet of the trio behind
the vine-covered trellis.
Later, the ex-manager confessed to
a desire for music—Penelope's music
—and the twain went into tho sitting-
room and the piano, leaving Elinor
and Kent to make the best of each
other as the spirit moved them.
It was Elinor's chance for free speech
with Kent—the opportunity she had
craved. But now it was come, the
simplicity of the thing to be said
had departed and an embarrassing
complexity had taken its place.
"What Is the matter with us this
evening?" he queried. "We have been
sitting here talking the vaguest trivial-
ities ever since Penelope and Loring
side-tracked us. I haven't been doing
anything l am ashamed of; have you?”
•'Yes," she confessed, looking away
from him.
"What Is It?”
“I asked a certain good friend of
mine to come to see me when there
Is good reason to believe he didn’t
want to come.”
"What makes you think he didn't
want to come?"
"Why—1 don't know; did he?" She
had turned upon him swiftly with ar.
out flash of the playful daring which
had been one of his major fettering*
in time past—the ecstatic charm that
goes with quick repartee and instant
and sympathetic apprehension.
"You have never yet asi;ed anything
cf him that he wasn't glad enough to
give,” ho rejoined, keeping up the
third person figurative.
“Is that saying very much—or very
little?"
"Very little. Indeed. But It Is only
your askings that have Tieen lacking
—not his good will.”
"That was said like the David Kent
I used to know. Are you really quite
the same?"
“I hope not.” he protested gravely.
"People used to Bay that I matured

I can see that It was a true saying.
