Hall laughed and then stood thought
full for a few moments, smoking airily,
blowing rings. Then he took off his
dressing gown, put on his coat, and
had turned to his camera when Flodie
came back.
There's a desperate old firt out
there to see you, Mr.. Bonistelle-Mr.
Doremus."
"Doremus?" Hall searched his mem
DRY. What does he look like-a bill
collector"

a side-whisker effect, trimmed with a
gold chain in scallops, and he stares
at you over the top of his glasses"
Hall sighed. well, have him in.
I'll settle him!"
Mr.. Doremus, grave and precise,
looked about for a chair, and sat down
deliberately. He searched in the in
side pocket of his frock coal as he
said pompously: HIM. / took the
first opportunity to communicate with
you, Mr.. Bonistelle. Unluckily, how
ever, l could not get you on the tele-
phone this morning" Still his hand
CROPPED in his pocket, like a dog at a
woodchuck's hole.
MOP" Hall remarked impatiently
Il suppose l wasn't up"
Doremus brought forth a long en-.
velope. Solemnly he spoke, looking
over the tops of the rubber bows:
"Mr. Bonistelle, l have the honor of
being the attorney for the estate OF
your uncle, the late John Beasley
Bonistelle."
A mental thunderbolt struck the
room, and Hall, shocked and fright
ened, could only gasp: "Er-is there
any news about the will, Mr.. Doremus
Here, have a cigar!"
Doremus looked up and nodded
gravely. Yes, the will has been found,
Mr.. Bonistelle, at last!" He tapped
the paper in his hand. ut was discov

seemed not to be listening, but sudden
ly he turned to his assistant with a
queer expression. He walked up to
her and put his hand on her shoulder.
See here, Flodie, have you taken
out your salary regularly every week?
Now, don't you try to ib!"
Flodie tried to pull away but it was
too delicious. ooh, l don't know" she
mumbled. Not for two or three weeks,
perhaps. That's all right" Now it
was she who caught hold of his arm.
But l wanted to tell you something,
Mr.. Bonistelle-if you wouldn't mind
If you just let me-"
"What?" he demanded suspiciously.
ooh, only-if you'd be willing-real-
ly I'd like to, you know-you know
I've saved up a little money, Mr.. Boni-
stelle-and, well, it might help you

Hall threatened her with savage
pla%yfulness. "Flodie Fisher" he said

turn up and down the room as she
waited, watching him. "By jove, it
does look as if I'd have to go to work."
Then he turned to her .gloomily. well,
anything else for this afternoon?"
NO." said Flodie, "but you have to
develop and print, you know. There's
lots of work for you in the dark room.
And then, we've got to get ready for
that expensive old party"
Hall scratched his head. Heavens,
I'd forgotten all about it."
"Of cours you have, but l haven't;

Flo, l honestly believe a photographer

Flodie gave him an indulgent smile.
"Mr. Bonistelle, l want to tell you

Opening the letter box On the door,
she took out a dozen or SO envelopes
One set she inspected critically-they
were all in feminine handwriting
and then rather unwillingly laid them
aside. The others she tore briskly
open, each received a keen, shrewd
look. They were filed or thrown away.
Little and whimsical and odd, Flo
dies appearance had something OF the
humor of a puppy, the a wisdom OF
a monkey. The combination made her
face pathetic. Crinkly, colorless hair
and hazel eyes had Flodie. Her fine,
regular teeth we're her best asset, and
when she smiled, her main relief from
plainness. From her costume, which
was careless, to her gestures, which
were queer, Flodie Fisher was an orig
! inal. She had charm and magnetism.
Whether she made one laugh or weep,
eccentric little Flodie was distinctly
lovable.

Twill there be many here, Miss
Fisher?"
ooh, I don't know, Alfred, about

women. Especially women! They
don't usually refuse Mr.. Bonistelle's
studio invitations, 1 notice! There'll
be too many anyway. There won't be
half of 'em come till the theaters are
over, though. We've invited a squad
of actresses"
Alfred stopped, his arms loaded with
garlands. What, real ones?"
"No, only half-ripe, I guess. Not
nearly so real as the other women
who'll be here, anyway. There are
more good actresses off the stage than
on, Alfred! It'll be good as a play
for mel"
Alfred gazed longingly from the
threshold, his eyes aire. Say, Miss
Fisher, are you going to be dressed
up like you was the last timer"
She dropped a fantastic courtesy.
Precisely the same, Alfred; our good
old friend Crepe de Chine. Now you

Alfred left, with the love light un-

Hall opened the door. grinning.
"And l suppose those eggs are feeling

final touches.

Capt. Beavers won the toss and

ball was put in play on the Trinidad

DAIRY BARN BURNS
Fine Plant of the Green Mountain
Dairy Destroyed by Fire Last
Saturday

About noon last Saturday fire was
discovered in the rear Of the barn a.
the Green Mountain Dairy and spread
rapidly. Hayes Williams, the man
ager, was several miles away, and the
boys at the dairy had their hands full
trying to save as much as possible.
The fire department was quickly on
the grounds but there was no fire
plug within half mile Of the barn so
they could only work with chemicals
and buckets. 1t proved impossible to
save the barn or any Of the adjoining
sheds and at one time the roof OF the
residence caught but this was stopped.
No stock but a few pigs was destroy
ed, but the barn, large stacks Of feed,
much machinery cnd equipment was
destroyed and it is estimated the loss
will reach six thousand dollars, only
half Of which is covered by insurance.
The Green Mountain Dairy was es-
tablished over fifteen years ago by +.
II. Gregg, now of Wiley, and was pur-
chased two years ago by j. NJ. VIII
liams & Son. Through both manage
ments it has been constantly improv-
ing in equipment and methods and
charging in number and quality OF
dairy stock until it had the reputation
Of being one of the most sanitary and
best managed diaries in the state Of
Colorado. At present it is badly
handicapped for facilities to handle its
big and growing business but Mr..
Williams IS managing by hard work
to keep things going and will begin
at once to replace the plant destroyed
with an even better one.
