IN ED GIbson sat disconsolate on the
teraced lawn sloping to the lake
h front Of the country club. From
the direction Of the ballroom came
fhe sound Of soft music, and Ted,
recognizing the waltz the stringed or
chestra was playing, buried bis chin
ia his hands and looked off, unseetng
across the broad expapce Of golf links.
Tie waltz which floated out to him
was an old one, as popular waltzes
70, but 1t brought to Ted bittersweet
memories.
Months had passed since he had last
heard II. It had been at the junior
prom at college, the last dance OF a
series Of most wonderful dances he
fie had ever known. Sylvia had been
there Sylvia Of the laughing eyes
and dimpledN cheeks.
He had planned to make that prom
turning point in his life. Sylvia had
promised 10 be his guest and had
midngly consented to igvo him
twelve Of the twenty four dances. AT
the end Of the last number on the
programme Ted had planned to ask
Sylvia to marry him.
The affair had started off with every
promise Of success. They had motor
ed to Kingston in the long, low run
about with Just enough room for two.
IT was beautiful night, with full
moon casting long shadows over the
quiet roads and a touch Of spring in
the evening air.. 1t was an ideal night
for Ted's purpose. He seemed to sense
a sylvia's attitude the kind OF ansW-
er he wished for.
B And then Sylvia had spoken. She
didn't say much-only a single SEN
tence-but after the words had fall
en- from her lips the glory Of the night
seemed lost.
TON Ainsley is going to be at the
prom" she said.
Tom Ainsley! Ted's hands had grip
ped the wheel more tightly. Ainsley
was the name which gossip had link
ed with that of sylvia's. For two
years, while Ted was away at college,
the two had gone about together al
most constantly. There had been ru-
mors of an engagement which Sylvia
had ignored, and Ted, returning to
Westwood had taken the girl to her
word and he'd pressed his own suit.
"A short time later Tom had left for
the West and Ted and the girl to
whom rumor said Tom was engaged
had been ii zach others company
continually.
The announcement that Tom was
to be present at the prom had filled
Ted's heart with vague misgvings.
He had felt all along that Tom held
a rather intimate place in Sylvi1's
heart. The fact that Tom had return
led to the college town and would
Saaeet sylvia at the dances left him
with feeling OF apprehension. For him

Pull the Teeth and
Beauty Fades

In England it is common practice to
pull all the teeth to cure pyorrhoea,
or Riggs disease. Sir John Good
heart, the famous surgeon, raises an
earnest protest against this. He said
in the Lancet, ITO one not an expert
it seems more reasonable that so long
as teeth are in their sockets, free from
intense pain and serviceable for mas
tication, there is something to be said
on the side Of keeping our own rather

and beauty. When you find the teeth
or gums are sore, painful to touch OF

Of the teeth, it is time to begin the
work Of destroying the microbes that
infest the cracks and crannies Of the

During the third dance he mad SAT

Sylvia was especially viv.:ious, that
there was a new light in her eyes, q
new note in her laughter. She and
Tom had chatted together happily
and when the fourth dance she had
been late.
The evening had worn away. The
girl had noticed Ted's rather restrain.

it. But he had refused 10 tsspo II

had told her just before Tom had
come to claim her. ITS Mighty Like

know"
The girl had nodded.
Eyes, that is ,ur dance" she had
repeated absently.
But it hadn't turned out to be their
dance, after all, for when the music
started Sylvia had been walking a.
long on OF the shaded campus paths
with Tom.
She had seemed sincerly sorry a
bout it.

Ted she explained. We galke'l too

Ted had told her that it hadn't mat

ride home that nigh: he had not PRO-
posed.
That was six months ago, anG since
the prom Ted and Sylvia had not once
been together for more than five min
utes at time. Sylvia had asked him
to come and see her and he had as
sented, and once when he swallowed
his pride and dropped around to the
familiar porch Tom Ainsley had been
there and Ted had not gone again.
Tom and Sylvia had been together
quite frequently since that time, To
Ted it seemed as If they we're always
together. In his own heart there was

For "a moment Sylvia was silent.
When she spoke there was just the
hint of an appeal in her voice.
"Sit down and I'll tell you" she
said,
They found a vacant bench half
hidden in the shadows.
DO you really want to know why
came here?" Sylvia asked.
'Yes!"

reminds me OF man who used to be

he said that it was our waltz and then
because made a mistake and didn't
get to the last dance at a junior prom
he didn't want it to be our dance any
more"
Ted caught his breath sharply
How about you? he asked.
81 always wanted it to be our dan
1t was rather fortunate that the
shadows hid them from the people on
the porch OF the country club, for Ted
Gibson did something he had never
dared to do before. He took Sylvia In

HOW TO DRY
BEANS AND PEAS
B RIppY RYE.


Cooks may know q great deal about
beans and still not know how to dry
them. Dried beans are the food re-
oulred most in famine stricken lands,
according to Herbert c. Hoover.
The method Of drying beans suggest
ed by Uncle Sans experts is this:
Shell, wash spread in thin layers on
the trays of the drier and heat 10 min.
utes, beginnin gat 100 degrees and
gradually raising the temperature to
1870 degrees. This high temperature
is to destroy all insect eggs that may
be on the beans. Cool and store care
fully. The heating Of the bean or pea
destroyes its vitality so that it can
not be used for seed,
Lima Beans.
Lima beans can be shelled from the
pod and dried. If gathered when
young and tender, wash and blanch
from 5 to 10 minutes. Length Of time
for blanching depends upon size and
maturity of beans. Remove surface
moisture and dry from 8 to 8 IL
hours.
Peas,
Shell full.grown peas, passing
through meat grinder, spread on
trays and dry. Ground peas dry more
quickly than whole peas, but make a
product which can be used success

fully only in the preparation 81 Ioup
or PURGE.
When drying the very young ina
tender sugar peas. use the pod alto.
Wash and cut in boiling water enlnl

dry two or three hours.
Begin drying beans and peas atli0
degrees and raise temperature stad.
ually to 145 degrees.

BOOZE CACHE
DUG UP AT
RICHARDTON
OFFICIALS CLEAR UP DEPOT
ROBBERY CASE AND FIND
STOLEN BEER.
George Schoenlein, Old Offender,
Again in Limelight, Charged With
Burglary in Third Degree.

George Schoenlein of Richardton,
who is awaiting retrial of a criminal
case against him for dealing in in
toxicating liquor, is again tangled up
with the prohibition law and in ad-
dition is charged with burglary in the
third degree. The arrest was made
last Friday evening by Sheriff T. N.
Hartung and Deputy o. P. Branick
after search Of the schoenlein prem
lses at Relaxation by these officials
and special agents Of the Northern
Pacific had revealed the hiding place
OF large number of quart and pint
bottles of the brew that made Mil
waukee famous.
The officials have had a merry time
with few individuals at Richa rdton
the past two weeks or since booze
shipments have been put under the
ban in Stark county. Deputy Bran
1ck was there last week and confscat-
ed about dray load of 'prize" pack
ages but left three casks of what he
was told was "near beer, and not
under the ban, in the depot. That
night the depot was burglarized and
the three casks taken. The Northern
Pacific Immediately had detectives on
the scene but nothing was discovered
until the officials received tip and a
second search was made of the
Schoenlein premises. The cache was
found under the house in cellar, the
only entrance to which was through
a trap door in the parlor of the home
underneath the organ. 129 quarts
and lit pints of beer were discovered
underneath the dirt and sand and
Schoenlein was Immediately placed
under arrest. He was taken before
Judge Folsom Saturday morning,
waived examination to the charge Of
burglary in the third degree and the
amount of his bond fixed at $1,000.
He was; unable to furnish bonds and is
now confined in the county Jail. The
railroad officials are pressing the
burglary charge and as the, two
other parties arrested at the same
time, Rochus Gress and Otto Schneid-
er, have given signed statements to
the officials which state that Schoen-
lein lifted the beer, there is hardly
any doubt but that a conviction can
be secured. In addition to this
charge Schoenlein will be charged
with contempt of court, as he is now
under bonds and awaiting trial under
the prohibition law, and another
charge of bootlegging, =.
States Attorney Burgeson, Sheriff
Hartung and deputies and the rail
road detectives have been very active
in this case and with the evidence
secured in addition to the written
statements by other parties implicat-
ed it looks as though the defendant
is up against a strong chain of evi-
dence that he will be unable to over
come. &4 {l E .l"f EE it@It5 ffL

ROAD
COMPANY IS
ORGANIZED
CKINSON-LEFOR FARMERS
CONSTRUCTION co. CAPITAL
100000.
Local Men Interested in Project Which
Will Insure Railroad to Lefor
During the Year.

The Dickinson-Lefor Farmers Con-
struction company was organized this
week with a capitalization of 100000.
Adam Lefor, president; w. L. Rich
ards, vice president; L. A. Simpson,
secretary; Nick Martin, Jr., Nick
Reiner, N. A. Lefor and Jacob Lefor
are the incorporators.
The purpose of the organization is
to. secure righ of way and construct
a railroad grade from Dickinson to
Lefor, a distance of 26 miles, accord
ing to blue prints of the survey al
ready completed. The original sur
vey runs to New Leipzig, distance
of 70 miles southeast Of Dickinson,
what is known as the Dickinson
Lefor-New Leipzig survey, but the
plans of the present company do not
include construction work farther
than Lefor at this time. A large
number of farmers are interested in
the proposition along with the busi-
ness men Of both Dickinson and Lefor,
and plans have already been made
to secure the right of way along the
proposed route and commence actual
grading operations in the spring.
The line of railroad will run directly
south of Dickinson for twelve miles
and then gradually swing in a south
easterly direction to the town of
Lefor. AS soon as the construction
work is completed company will be
|organized to take over the railroad
property and put it into operation.
Dickinson and Lefor business men
have been working together on the
project for the past year and with
the organization Of the construction
company comes the announcement
that the new proposed route will
positively be built and in operation
just as soon as it is possible to
complete the work. Grading crews
will be started just as soon as the
frost is out Of the ground, as the
blue prints are already in the hands
of the contractors.

local team, composed of McCutchan,
Brodie, Tillquist, Guon, Ware, Scharf
and Eldred, have not lost game this
son and will put up strong fight

ed. .-. -
The locals trimmed up Bismarck
last Friday night in game at the
capital city and have an excellent
chance to take part in the state finals.
