'"There is a dancing teachers con-

And so 1t ought. There is probably
nothing funnier than teaching dancing,
unless 1t be the domestic troubles of a
decent family. They are both essen
TALLY josh stories. Heaven knows
there is enough sombre stuff In the
papers nowadays. without missing a
chance to do something funny on a
convention of people who teach dane
ing in their home towns! 1t makes
n laugh just to think of ii.
When the next convention comes to
town, don't fail TO drop in to see 1t.
In the first place. when you go up to
the headquarters you will see an ag-
gregation of men and women who are
rather more neatly dressed than the
average New Yorker. That In itself is
comical. Then they will proceed to
discuss what they have found to be
the prevailing fashion In dancing In
their respective fields, and will sug-
gest reforms and improvements. BY
this time you will have to step outside
for a few minutes. you will be laugh
ing so hard.

from the inspiring but serious speeches
heard at other banquets, dealing with
national honor and preparedness.

"Oh, / know. Come come come !"
Her eyes were closing, heavy-lidded,
and she lifted sweet, tremulous, wait

With bursting heart Duane bent to
them. Then he held her, close pressed
to him, while with dim eyes he looked
out over the line of low hills in the
west, down where the sun was setting
gold and red, down over the Nueces
and the wild brakes of the Rio Grande
which he was never to see again.
1t was in this solemn and exalted
moment that Duane accepted happi-
ness and faced new life, trusting this
brave and tender woman to be strong

that had Swallowed his past.
1t would come back-that wind of

The rangers took Duane home to
Wellston.
A railroad had been built since
Duane had gone Into exile. Wellston
had grown. A noisy crowd surround

was carried from the train.
A sea Of faces pressed close. Some
