T should like to have Mrs. Desmond as my friend, not as my housekeeper, ]" said his wife simply.
 By joye, and that's just what I should like" he cried
 There is but one way, you know"
 She must be one or the other, eh?'
 Precisely" she said with firmness. Tn my country, James, the wives of best friends haven't the same moral standing that they appear to have in yours Oh, don't seowl SC! Shall I tell you that I do not mean to reflect on Mrs. Desmond's virtue-or discre- tion? Far from it. If she Is to be my friend, she cannot be your housekeep- CT. That's the point. Has she any means of her own? Can she"
 She has small income, and an an nuity which I took out for her soon after her poor husbands death. We were the closest of friends"
 T understand, James. You are very generous and very loyal. I quite un- derstand. Losing her position here, then. will not be hardship?"
 No" said he soberly.
 T am quite competent, James," she said brightly You will not miss her, am sure"
 Are you laughing at me, darling?"
 She gave him one of her searching. unfathomable glances, and then smiled with roguish mirth.
 Isn't it your mission in life to amuse and entertain mel"
 T love you, Yvonne-Good God, how love you" he cried abruptly His eyes burnt with sudden flame of pas sion as he bent over her His face quivered; his whole being tingled with the fierce spasm of an uncomfortable desire to crush the warm, adorable body to his breast in the supreme ecstasy of possession.
 She surrendered herself to his pas sionate embrace. A little later, she withdrew herself from his arms, her lips still quivering with the fierceness of his kisses. Her eyes. dark with wonder and perplexity, regarded his transfgured face for a long. tense moment.
 "Is this love, James," she whis- pered. 'Is this the real. true love?"
 What else. in heavens name. can 1t be?" he cried. He was sitting upon

the arm of her chair. looking down at ;he singuiariy paiiid face.
 But should love have the power to frighten one?" Brighten, my darling?"
 "Oh, 1t is not you who are fright ened," she cried. You are the man But I-ah. am only the woman"
 He stared. What an odd way to put it, dear" Then he drew back, struck by the curious gleam of mock cry in her eyes.
 Was it like this twenty-five years ago?" she asked
 He managed to smile. Are you jealous?"
 Tell me about her"
 His face hardened. Some other time. not now
 You have never told me her name"
 He faced her. his eyes as cold as steel. "I may as we'll tell you now, Yvonne. that her name is never men toned in this house"
 She seemed to shrink down farther in the chair
 Why" she asked, an insistent note in her voice.
 Tt isn't necessary to explain" He walked away from her to the window, and stood looking out over the bleak little courtyard. Neither spoke for nd ho ' hot her questioning gaze was upon him and that when he turned to her again she would ask still another question. He tried to think of something to say that would turn her away from this hated subject.
 Isn't it time for you to dress, dear est? The Cummings live pretty far up north and the going will be bad with Fifth avenue piled up with snow"
 Doesn't Frederic ever mention his mothers name?" came the question that he feared before it was uttered.
 T am not certain that he knows her name" said he levelly. The knuekles of his hands. clenched tightly behind his back, were white. He has never heard me utter it."
 She looked at him darkly There was something in her eyes that caused him to shift his own steady gaze un. comfortably. He could not have ex. plained what 1t was. but 1t gave him a curiously uneasy feeling. as of i'm. pending peril. It was not unlike the queer. inexplicable though definite

FOR THE BOYS
STATE CONVENTION OF LADS AT
HURON TO BE BIG AFFAIR.

Huron, June 16.-Every county in
the state is entitled to n delegate
to the annual boys state fair camp at
the exposition which will be held in
Huron this fall. In case a county has
more than one state representative, IL
may have as many boy delegates as ii
has representatives. To these boys the
state board of agriculture offers; A
weeks outing with all the joys of
camp life without a cent of expense;
the honor of representing a county
at the state convention of boys; free
admission to all events of the state
fair. and a definite course of agricul-
tural instruction, given by men prac-
tically fitted for the work, with a
laboratory well stocked with the best
products of the entire state.
The first boys camp was held at
the state fair last year, 40 counties
being represented by Sc delegates.
Every forenoon was spent in viewing
the exhibits of the fair under the di-
rection of the following capable in
structors: Supt. III. f. Patterson,
Aberdeen; Supt. G.. G.. Elites. Tyn-
dali; Manley Champlin and C. G..
Karlstad of State college. After
Moons and evenings were spent in
enjoying the state fair attractions.
M. Nj. Guhin of Aberdeen is con
tinued i'm the office of the superin-
tendent of the camp.
The delegates to the boys camp
were selected on the basis of sue
cesses in county agricultural con-
tests. A great majority of the coun-
ties which sent delegates to the
camp made provision for paying
for their railroad fare. In some
instances the counties provided
for hotel expenses of its delegates
while on the road. Since the state
board of agriculture u all fin
ancial responsibilities for the ex-
penses OF the boys after their arriv-
al in Huron, most of the delegates
were out of pocket but little. The
delegates were met at the train and
conducted TO the camping grounds
which were conveniently located
near the camp of the state guards.
Any boy of South Dakota, or his
teacher OF his parents may receive
definite information concerning the
1915 camp at the state fair by writ
ing to Supt. Nj. M. Guhin, Aberdeen.
