The Evening Times celebrates today
the beginning Of q new year and the
seventh anniversary Of it's own birth.
The occasion, therefore. is n Of
double Significance Sc far as this pa
Per is concerned. The seven years
that have passed since The Times was
established have been eventful ones
in the history Of the state. and in the
development Of tbs city Of Grand
Forks. In no year that has passed
have the evidences Of progress been
more abundant than In the year Just
ended. In every way there Is reason
to look forward to even better things
IN the future. Mistakes will be made.
advelsities will be encountered, and
shadows will alternate with the sun
shine. But II the mistakes = honest
ones. II adverstties are met with cour-
age and determination. IL the shadows,
instead Of being permitted to plunge
us into perpetual gloom. prepare us
the better for the sunshine, and en-
able US to appreciate 1t the more. the
future will be happy with the best
happiness that life can bring, the
happiness Of honest purpose and wor-
thy endeavor. and Of the heart tuned
to respond to the Joyous notes that
sing throughout the universe. To its
growing circle Of readerA to its
friends and those who are yet to be-
como its friends. to all with whom it
has come or 10 to come in contact.
The Evening Times wishes a Happy
New Year.

@All we need now" he concluded, us to
keep Our heads and our commonsense and
we'll get to the bottom of this"
She leaned back In her chair and clasped
her hands together, drew long, steadying
breath, and then, as once before, "You' re
being very good to me" she said. Then,
as she shifted the aromatic smoke and looked
at him through the cloud it made, and felt
the comfort of his being so big and strong
and sensible, she added, "You must think
me perfect idiot"
@For having got frightened for minute?
How do you know that l wasn't frightened
myself" Only he smiled as he said it, and
his smile now passed muster very well for
the comforting, friendly grin he meant it
to look like. "What we want to find out, !"
he went on after moments pause, us how
that bill got torn in two, and where the two
halves have BEEN"
"My half, said Pamela, "was in Fathers
little strong box that he always carried with
him in his bag. The last time he spoke to
me he asked me to unlock it. He meant to
tell me about what should find inside; but
it was too late. What l did find was the
diamond, and key, and two other half-bills,
and this"
"You have never seen any of them be-
fore?" he asked.
II remember having seen the diamond
when 1 was little, and asked him what it
was, and that he told me it was a lucky
stone. But never saw the bills or the key,
and he had never spoken of them. So, you
see, what l know won't take us very far.
What do you know about your half?'
@Why," he said, II know even less about
mine than you do about yours. l happened
to find it a few years ago in a book of
my mothers, smoothed out between the
leaves"
aWas it hers?" asked Pamela rather quick
ly. didn't you ask her about it?'
any mother had died long before then
in Wadebridge.'
"And your father" Pamela questioned.
ooh, he died long before that, when | was
baby, out in Oklahoma. There wasn't
anybody to ask. 1 don't even know that
she had put the half-bill in the book. But
it had some other things-two or three keep
sakes, dried flowers, and a four-leaf clover,
that sort of thing-that had been hers
suppose the bill must have had some senti-
mental value to her, or she'd have redeemed
her half of it, because she wasn't rich.
"But you can't redeem part of bill, can
you?" she asked.
ooh, yes" he said. @If you have half of
it, you can get half the value, and if you
have three-ffths, you can get the full value.
You can't get anything for less than half.
But this one, you see, was torn very carefully
exactly in two. It's possible, though, that
she didn't know that, and that" He
hesitated there. "Well, she may not have
wanted to ask anyone who could tell her"
"If she kept it like that" said Pamela
after a thoughtful silence, Gust the way
Father kept his half, then it seems as if they
must have had the same memories about it.
But where do you suppose it happened the
bill was torn in two? She lived in Wade
bridge for awhile, and Father said he took
me away from there. But he didn't take
