"Its amazing Miss Lowther ex-
planned, because Miss Dupont says that
she had never had dancing lessons before
she joined Madame Adrenne's class this
winter. Now | don't believe that"
Gavock had detected the note of jeal-
ousy in his companions tone. But the
arresting note in her speech was the hint
at mystery, secrecy. Did she know any
thing?
But why should she not tell the
HIS question was cut short by a sudden
burst of applause. Then suddenly the
applause stopped. An expectant hush
fell on the room.
Gavock glanced up at the musicians,
wondering why they did not play. Their
Instruments We're in position, their eyes
were on their leader. She stood at the bal
cony rail, her bow hand resting on it, clasp
ing her bow, her violin against her shoul-
der, ready She was looking down at the
dancer below, the muscles of her face taut,
her eyes narrow in the intensity of her
gaze.
From side to side the dancer swayed,
again and again. Suddenly she began to
move slowly to the right, making strange,
sweeping movement with her arms.
The Russian girl Strengthened herself
with start, her bow flew to her instru-
ment, and she drew it. Behind her other
bow arms moved. The result was a
shrieking discord. Irma Niklova wheeled
furiously. Her bow cut the air in savage
gesture of arrest. Then she turned back
drew her bow across her violin, and played
alone.
Now again the dancer paused, her arms
swept slowly forward and grew tense, then
with swift movement she strained them
backward as though pushing something
from her. Her head sank back upon her
shoulders, stretching abnormally the long
line from chin to bosom. Thus she began
to advance as in "a stately march; but by
some movements of hidden muscles the
brilliant draperies of her gown were kept
swrlng about her like wind-driven flames.
From lrma Niklova's violin haunting
dissonances made up II strain that was

Gavock looked at Guy Amarinth. He
had withdrawn somewhat to the back of
the stage, where he stood forgotten. and
forgetful, apparently, of himself and
everything save the form of the dancing
girl on which his eyes were bent.
Now the stately forward advance was
halted. Marie Dupont raised her head,
her chin shot forward, her arms swept
round upon Il circle and sank cross
ed upon her breast. Her eyes stared out,
wide and expressonless, her teeth show
ed in mirthless smile. She began to
execute some rapid sideward steps; her
knees bent almost to II sitting posture; her
feet darted out alternately from beneath
her skirts.
r USSIAN!" One heard the kissing of
the word as it passed from lip to lip
Something at last appeared familiar.
There was rustic through the audience
as of relaxed tension
Another change. The dancer rose again
to her full height. Her lips closed to thin
line, her eyes narrowed to black slit.
And she began dizzyng whirl, to right,
then left, in ever increasing rapidity.
The violin of the Russian followed every
movement, clinging like shadow In the
balcony the player seemed no longer to
watch the dance She was like the refec-
ton that moved by the others volition.

While we are in favor Of woman
suffrage, yet, judging from the nude
arms we see at public gatherings, II
seems that those delicate limbs could
not cast even a ballot with much
force. And as for running for office,
they would have to adopt some of the
tactics of "Slim Jim" in a long cam
paign, II they hoped to win.-Eden
Echo.
We note that those nude arms are
strong enough to take up work in
public Offices that was formerly per-
formed by men.-Temple Telegram.
And every JOB so taken up puts
some man out of employment, and the
work of making old bachelors and old
maids goes on. A iobless man cannot
marry, and woman with a job re-
duces her chances of marrying in
many ways. chief Of which is the
feeling of independence that comes
to her and makes her less inclined to
enter the marriage state. The better
plan would be for the man to do the
work and the voting and the woman
keep his home for him as his wife.

The Eagle heartily endorses the
stand Of Governor Ferguson In ask
ing the Legislature for an appropria'
ton for Texas exhibit at the
Panama.Pacihc Exposition. Texas is
no pauper; Texas Is rich and should
have an exhibit that would be a credit
and honor to her great resources. The
appropriation should have been made
the first day Of the regular session
so the exhibit could now have been
in place. Our lawmakers are economi-
cal at the wrong place. They fail to
provide for a creditable exhibit that
would send our name resounding
around the world, and yet they'll
create a multitude Of needless offices
and tomfool commissions, that will
place an army of job hunters in office
and cause the people of Texas to be
eaten out Of house and home.

NEW CREAMERY COMPLETED.
Now In Operation and Ready TO
Purchase Farmers Cream.

Purchase Farmers Cream.
The Bryan Creamery, Prof. A. w.
Kinnard, proprietor and manager, has
been completed and Is now in opera
tion. This opens new and import
ant era in the history of Bryan and
will give all farmers and dairymen
a market for their cream, sweet or
sour, and will also keep down the
prices of creamery products, which
heretofore have nearly all been i'm
ported by the grocery stores. Mr..
Kinnard has had several years ey.
perience in running a creamery and
dairy. and Il is useless for The Eagle
to say that the very best service Is
guaranteed.
A speciality will be made Of making
ice creams, plain or fruit creams,
and when ordering from the new
creamery all can rest assured they
are getting the best that can be
bought.
The creamery proper has been com
pleted for some time, but its opera
tion has been held up on account Of
the late arrival OF one or two parts.
Now everything is in perfect condi.
ton and ready for a big rush Of
orders.

WEATHER FORECAST

Copyrighted, 1915. by w. T. Foster)
Washington, May Last bulletin
gave forecasts OF disturbance to cross
continent May to 6, warm wave 3
to Z. cool wave to 10. Moderate
temperatures will prevail during that
period. Severe weather and some of
the most severe storms of May are
expected with that storm wave. Most
rain is expected in Southern and
Eastern sections and drouth I'M
Middle Northwest.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about May s, cross Pacific slope
by close of Q, great central valleys
10 TO u, Eastern sections lS. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about
May s, great central valleys 10. East
ern sections IL. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about May II, great
central valleys 10, Eastern Sec
tons 10.
This disturbance will bring hot
wave with drouth in the Middle
Northwest, in South Dakota and the
States adjoining II. The country
about the Great Lakes. particularly
on the east side of them, will have
good crop weather and sufficient rain;
also all sections east of the Allegheny
mountains and south of the Potomac,
the Ohio and the Missouri rivers.
Parts of the Southern States will get
too much rain, but most of that sec
ton will get good crop weather.
The storms of the period covered
by this disturbance will be more Sc
we're than usual west of meridian 80,
but rather moderate east of that line.
We call attention to the oats mar
kets. A rather serious drouth has
been expected in the Middle North
west, April 20 to June 20, and If ii
shows up the best oats section in the
world will be seriously affected The
European war will continue to de-
mand large quantities of oats and
there Is net Buifilient old oats to fill
their demand. Oats appear to be high
now, but a drouth would send that
grain higher. For these reasons we
are advising farmers not to sell oats
at present prices, and we also advise
all dealers to buy the September de
livery of oats, A drouth would affect
the new crop of oats more than il
would the old. The publication Of
this kind of market forecasts appears
to be fair to producer. dealer and con
sumner and we hope that each of these
three elements will take advantage
of and be benefited by this forecast
We are decidedly of the opinion
that cotton and wheat will go tt
higher prices. A drouth is expected
in Russia that will damage the wheat
/ crop of that country, while all South
ern sections of Asia will get too mucl
rain.
