semioccasional rumbling of surface
cars on the one hand or snoring OF
motors on the other.
And number SO itself was a resi-
dence of type and caste to allay dis
trust at q glance-an elderly, we'll
to-do sort, with brownstone front. well
groomed; nothing in this ensemble the
least ominous or threatening.
Inclining to question old Quoln's
ever-ready inference, Peter climbed
back into the cab, and for five min
utes Rugged himself in private ecstasy.
Everything was for all the best in
the best of all possible worlds. He
needed only to crowd things bit, rush
the wedding through before Lydia
realized that people were onto Craven,
keep her If possible ignorant forever
of old Tad's disgrace That could be
fixed, no doubt. Fortunately Betty
wasn't vindictive. Quoin's commission
from her had been merely to scare
Craven silly and run him ont OF town.
And that, of course, would keep things
dark; for Craven would never dare re-
turn.
OF course, If he ever found out his
daughter didn't know, aud her hus-
band didn't want her t. know, he
would likely try on a little blackmail-
ing, just to keep body and soul to-
gether. But Peter wouldn't mind that
not In moderation. Anyway, he'd al
ways liked old Tad; and to think OF
him in want, who had been so reful-
gent figure In the life of town, would
be keen discomfort for his prospective
son-in-law. Peter dared say old Tad
could do with tidy bit OF blackmall
something adequate and regular.
And he, for one, would never begrudge
Ii.
But when five minutes had elapsed
Peter began to fidget. That's long
time to wait for a girl you're crazy
about, who has just owned up she's
crazy about you'll
He consulted his watch: ten minutes
past eleven. Lydia had come to the
Margrave about a quarter Of: they
couldn't have been more than q quar-
ter of an hour coming up town. Peter
became convinced that he had waited
ten minutes, not five.
Things began to look dubious. he
hopped out and up the steps of o.
The outer door was fastened; but a
steady pressure on the push-button
brought a shadow to skulk suspicious
" behind lace-screened inner doors.
One edge of the curtains was pulled
aside a trihe, he was inspected mar
rowly, and then the shadow material
lied into a woman who came forth and
unattached the outer doors. Even to
Peters captious scrutiny she looked q
very nice sort. altogether an appan-
tion to sbash suspicion
~YesT- she inquired In q pleasant
voice.

replied intelllgently. "That Is to say
I-ah-"
perhaps you've mistaken the
house?"
"No-I mean to say-Miss Craven

began to wonder"
~ see," said the woman quietly,
flicker of amusement In the eyes that
Peter rather liked. "If you don't nina
waiting another minute, I'll ask her.
Singularly enough, Peter thought
she didn't ask him to step In out OF the
weather. On the other hand, sbs was
considerable not to keep him waitins
long: though the message she finally
brought him proved distasteful enough.
Miss Craven asked me to give you
this, Mr.. Trait"
"Thanks," said Peter, graciOtsly &C
cepting the proffered envelope.
It wasn't scaled. Unceremoniously ne
lifted the flap and withdrew the In
closure, a square. white, heavy corre-
spondence card with the address
stamped In black letters. Below STUD
pen had been used with disastrous Ell
feet:
"Dear Mr.. Traft-Please don't wait
for me. / can't tell how long 1 may
be detained. Sincerely,
LYDIA CRAVEN"
Dear Mr.. Trait, nonplussed, accepted
dismissal with what grace he could
muster. Oh-ah-thanks," he SAID
blankly. "Awf'ly good Of you"
"Good evening, Mr.. Trait"
"Good evening""
The door closed. Peter grunteu dis
gust and went slowly down the steps.

THIRD MORE CROP IN
BIG HORN COUNTY

Reports received from the Big
Horn County Council of Defense are
to the effect that the acreage in
spring wheat this season will be at
least one-third greater than ever be-
fore. The winter wheat in that sec
ton is coming up we'll, and the corn
crop promises to eclipse all former
records for the district, according to
the data secured by F. e. MacSpad-
den, government agricultural expert,
who will spend this season in Big
Horn county assisting the county
council and the farmers in growing
the largest possible corn crop.
Near Toluca tractors are blowing
night and day in an effort to get in
as much seed as possible. With ia
vorable weather, Big Horn county's
wheat crop will be bumper one. The
warm weather of the last ten days,
reported in that section, made the al
falfa jump, and in some fields it has
