In the morning the uneXpeCted
happened Her brother Glen arrived in Goldite,
having driven from Starlight with friend. He
appeared at Mrs Dicks while Beth still in her
room. ndisposed She had eaten no dinner. She
took no breakfast. But with Glenvilles advent she
was suddenly awakened to a new excitement, almost
a new sort of hope
Young Kent was a smooth faced, bOyish chap,
slightly stopped exceedingly neat, black haired and
of medium height He was like Beth only in a family
manner His nose was trife large for his face; but
something in his modest, good natured way coupled
to his earnest delivery Of slang in all his converse
ton lent him a certain charm that no one long
resisted
He was standing in his characteristic pose, with one
hand buried in his pocket he aughlngly explained
himself to Mrs Dick when Beth came running down
the stairs.
Glen" She cried as she ran along the hall and,
casting herself most fervently upon him, with her
arms about his neck she had good sky-cearlng cry,
furious and brief and looked like rose when
she pushed him away and scrutinized him quickly
through her tears.
Il say Sis, why this misplaced fountain on the
lob - he said. DO look as bad as thatt
"Oh. Glen" she said. you've been Ill! You
were hurt! I've worried sol You're well? You've

to investigate as vouchers for every

fund are on file In the state auditors
Office and that every cent of the ex.
penditures were properly made against
the construction fund
There was no maintenance fund,
said Warden Dick, and walls had TO
be constructed, farm machinery bought
and operated and grading and plow-
ing done with convicts. While these
conyicts were being used on eonstruc.
ton work and there was no mainten-
ance fund available their support was
chargeaOle to the construction and
equipment fund. We had to buy
mules and horses, build walls and a
temporary cell house. including steel
cages, and to purchase $4,000 worth
of construction machinery These are
some OF the things for which. the
money was expended"
Mr. Dick states that approximately
$4,000 OF the construction fund has
been used this way. Warden Dick
states that the board of public affairs
can obtain all the information II de-
slres to satisfy its members that the
expenditures were properly made. II
Is stated that the board Of public
affairs had 20. KID most of the
vouchers representing the $4,000 ex.
pendltures before a member of the
board was sent to McAlester to in.
vestieate the matter Of how the money
was spent.
