one chance in fifty that they might
meet a relief gang working toward

the porter cheerfully. "Suttinly looks
most unpromising for Santa Claus to-

Never can tell, Sam. You'd better

turned, I'm sorry for the por dew

cars. How about that private lay
out we tackled on at Boise C,ty?"
Private car, sah-Mme Helene Ce-
sare."
The name struck chord that had
been Hamilton's dominant strain for
ten years. He knew Helene Cesare
Back in the lean years, when she had
been a slender, eager-eyed girl with
a golden voice, who frankly hailed
from Omaha. he had met her at one
of his sisters musicales in the east.
Kit Murray, they called her then.
She was about seventeen, with a
mass of reddish hair, framing a tense,
determined face, with big, dreamy,
almost resentful eyes. She had been
resentsul. too, of his proffers OF
friendship and assistance so far as
her career was concerned. She would
win, she had told him, win by sheer
work and effort 1t had not been
with her consent that his sister had
bent all her influence toward her
success. Yet she had been grateful,
too, and had never known how much
of it she owed to Hamilton's love for
her.
On his way to the private car he
met the conductor.

from her shoulders, her eyes full OF

"Ah, but this is kind of you." she
said. "And I am so lonesome, and

She looked at him questioningly, al
most anxiously.
His eyes regarded her hungrily.
This was not the girl OF seventeen
whom he had loved tenderly, pro-
tectingly, this woman with the curved
lips and well-poised head, the sure.
clear gaze, and voice that stirred old
memories into life.
Yet, gazing at the white perfection
of her throat and shoulders, her jew
eled head, the exquisite lines of her
velvet dinner gown, he thought OF
the mass of warped humanity on the
rest OF the stalled train, hungry, bit.

Denver.-With all the ritualistic
pomp and religious splcndor of tho
Roman Catholic church, the Cathedral
OF the Immaculate Conception was ded-

Cardinal Farley and Pope Plus X.
Deepest devotion marked the serv-

spectacle OF 10000 souls kneeling out
doors to receive the bencdiction Of the
Blessed Sacrament was one never sur
passed in the ecclesiastical history Of
the west.
The gigantic afternoon parade, in
which nearly 5000 Catholics Of Denver
participated, In fitting jubilation Of a
success crowning the struggle COM
menced moro than fifty years ago, to
establish the Catholic church in Colo
RADIO, was by far the greatest religious
demonstration ever witnessed in the
Rocky mountain region.
Intense interest was shown in the
dedicatory event. Not only was every
seat in the beautiful cathdral taken,
but several thousands gathered outside
to vew the papal procession as the OK
terror walls of the structure were
blessed by Cardinal Farley.
The edifice was crowded at both
morning and evening services. thou.
sands clamoring to get glimpse Of the
magnificent interior. Apart from the
5000 in the parade, the benediction
of Cardinal Farley in the afternoon
brought 1000 more to its doors.
At the close Of each service the
chimes OF the cathedral rang out In
religious selections appropriate to the
occasion, completing an essential fes-
ture Of the magnificent exercises.
