Men admired Joy and considered
Billy a lucky fellow to have such Q
wife. When he saw her that night
standing beside Haroldine, he felt
such a pang OF revelation as turned
him sick at heart.
Haroldine was still Miss Ross and
with no immediate prospect Of chang
ing her name. Her pale blue silk
looked too young for her; she had
grown visibIy thinner; her eyebrows
showed their penciling and her
cheeks their rouge. Beside joys fresh
young matronliness she looked faded
and inane and overdone.
And when she turned to Billy with
a coquettish smile, he realized poign-
antly that he had been a fool for
seven years and thanked God that
Haroldine had refused him.
At home after the party he took
Joy in his arms and kissed her many
times-kissed her as man kisses a
women he loves and has won. In his
penitence he confessed a great many
things, but the sweetest thing OF all
he told her was that he loved her and
her only.

He went away as he had said he
would and two days later he wrote
that he had secured a position. So
Joy hurried her simple preparations.
She had saved little money and she
planned to mike il pay for her entire
setting OUT as Aunt Marshall
called it. Aunt Marshall gave her
as much as she could from her little
store and added thereunto her bless
ing which Joy felt enriched her more
than all her gifts.
Joy and Billy were married and
went to the city to go to housekeep-
ing in a four-room fat. Joy proved 10
be a marvellous little housewife; she
juggied with the dimes until they did
the work OF dollars; she kept Billy's
clothes in perfect order; her dinners
we're the best of their kind to be had.
She never troubled Billy with COM
plants or any demonstration; she
simply loTed-and waited.
In return. Billy rather neglected
her. He was kind and appreciative,
yet he accepted her as a matter of
course. His disappointment was still
recent enough to hurt.
They had been married three years

little house in westmore and a few

Very quietly, also, Billy began to
look about for way in which to
make a living. He found it at last.
A partnership in a good business was
for sale and he bought it with Joys
money, and what he had of his own.
From the first day of his arrival he
had been on the outlook for Harold
inc. But Haroldine was not in West
more. He learned that her father
had died the year before and that
she had gone with some friends to
California 1t was not known when
she would return.
People had forgotten that Billy had
ever been interested in Haroldine.
Perhaps Haroldine herself had for
gotten. Certainly it ceased to be a
living reality to all save him and
Joy.
The business in which Billy en-
gagged thriyed wonderfully. He had
brought to it the experience and new
energy that it needed. II was soon

Mrs. Marks, who was much given to
harmless gossip, said that she had
heard that Haroldine had refused 10
marry Billy. Joy was stunned. To
think that any girl who was so lucky
as TO get a chance to marry Billy
should refuse him, Glad as she was
for herself, she was yet sorry for
Billy II was cruel OF Haroldine to
treat him so.

Joy had lost her voice in her sur

she was afraid he must hear. She
could do no more than smile at him,
but he seemed to accept that as suffi-

her and began to talk to her.

GARMENTS WILL BE EXHIBITED
ON LIVING MODELS

One sees small hats with bows
of ribbon or mass of flowers
or perhaps feathers or stiff
cockade-like ornaments that
stick up high above the hat.

bons and flowers. !
In the flowers, millinery has

Haroldine pretended she did not.

him. They had lived for years on

National Bank Of America, and his
son, Arthur McAdams, came into
possession of the stock in the Farm

by Cashier r. G. Webb. Immediately
after the transfer meeting OF the

thur McAdams was elected cashier
to succeed Mr.. Webb, the change to

contemplates removing to Idaho.
Arthur McAdams has held cleri-
cal positions in different banks and
for the past several months has been
in the Citizens bank at Abilene. He
goes to the Farmers State bank at
Bennington well qualified for the
cashiership. He makes friends rap
idly and being a young man of good
address and strictly a business man,
no doubt will be quite an acquisition

The Abilene camp of Modern
woodmen win not sanction the stand
the insurgents of the Kansas camps
have taken in withdrawing from the
national order. A resolution was
adopted to that effect at a meeting
of the Woodmen Monday night. The
local camp also refuses to send dele

be held at Hutchinson for the pur-
pose of advancing the secession
movement.
A petition asking the executive
committee to call a referendum vote
on the repeal of the rates by the
entire membership of the order, was
sent to that committee by the Abr
lene camp.
The insurgent body of the M. w.

the result Of the raise in the insur-
ance rates of that organization by

SENATOR HODGES SPENT
SUNDAY IN THE CITY.
Democratic Leading Candidate for
Governor Called ON Friends.

Senator George Hodges. who is
leading the Democratic race for the
nomination for governor, spent Sun
day in the city. He spoke at Clay
Center Saturday night and paid his
respects to A. M. Jackson who seems
to be running ms an aid TO Billiard.
He pointedly asked Jackson II he
favors enforcement of the prohibit
DRY law, and what he would do ae
governor IL his attorney general
would not enforce the law. He also
wanted to know what he would do
to reduce taxes.
Senator Hodges is one OF the
states finest citizens and the Demo-
Gratis have a right to be proud of
him. If we ever have a Democratic
governor it is hoped 1t will be as
brainy a man as George Hodges.
Henderson Martin of Marion, state
chairman; Burt Brown, candidate
for secretary of state and w. f..
Grosser Of Salina were here to meet
Mr.. Hodges and talk over campaign
plans.
