the miserable truant she was. But
strangely enough he did not ask her
about school, he only looked at her q
little curiously, with aNquizzical smile
in his brown eyes. He had known
more of Doris than she thought. for
daily she had passed his office window
on her way to work he had grown
used to watching for her. And this
morning she had not come
This shower will soon be over" he
said cheerfully. TOO bad to have
such a beautiful morning spoiled You
are fond of the woods, aren't you,
Miss Evans?
And almost before she knew it Doris
had poured out the whole miserable
story to him. 1t was strange that she
should tell Alden Powers but there
was something about him that made
her want to tell-something that
made her feel that he would under
stand.
Il guess I know how you felt" he
| unused when she had finished. Been
there myself. In fact, this very min
ute ought to be at work. but Some
| thing made income after you. You
see, Doris, I have been lonely, too.
and, somehow I thought that you
would understand; I've been wanting
a chance to talk with you for SO
| long! Somehow I felt"
then, by the fact that the car stopped
dead. Indeed it stopped for an hour
| or more, a precious hour during which
they had time to talk over a great
many things, things such as loneliness
versus love, and the way one could
| fall in love with people before one
knew them at all. and just how each
| one of them had felt on first beholding
| the other.
AT the end of the hour the storm
| had cleared away, blue skies smiled
again, and Alden felt that he could
spare a few moments for fussing with
| his engine. And so. about noon they
drove back into town. The sight of
j the brick schoolhouse on the hill sent
a chill of miseiving thru Doris, despite
her new-found happiness.
Whatever will they say? What
can 1 tell them?" She said. They'll
never understand. No one but you

"Pn fix that up" he promised
| easily. I'll drive you right around
there and we'll see the principal"
Just what Alden Powers said to the
| principal Doris never knew. Doubt
| less it was something about a stalled
| car, or a storm which had detained
them. At any rate, no word of blame
came to her, and strangely enough
Doris found that she was treated with
greater Difference during the remain

perhaps it was not so strange, either,
| since everyone knew that she was very
soon to be Mrs. Alden Powers.

THEY WANT new TRIAL
Man and Wife, Living Apart LOST
E;rst Attempt at Divorce.

The attorneys for both Mr.. ana MRS
Cuy o. Dana filed motions in the OF
flee of the district court this morning
asking a new trial, following the re-
fusal of JUDGE Geo. H. Whitcomn
Thursday afternoon to grant the oi-
yorce decree asked by Dana. The case
has been under advisement for seve,aI
DAYS. 1t was the contertion or the
court that Dana's grounds for a d.
yorce were insufficient.
The proceedings were begun last
April when Dana filed a petition IN
the office of the district court ASKING
a divorce from Mona Dana He con-
tended that his wife and himself mad
entered an agreement in october.
1915, regarding the disposition of their
property; that after this was done his
wife went to Kansas City. where she
has been living. posing as single wo-
man and keeping company with an
other man. The contract between the
two was upheld by judge Whitcomo.
In her answer to her husbands Pc
tition, Mrs. Dana accused him of keep
ing company with another woman. A
suit was instituted by Dana snort
time before when they were living in
Ottawa, where the decree vas denied
him in the district court of Franklin
county.

Enough of American motion picture
films TO stretch around the world at
the equator were exported from the
United States in the fiscal year 1918
The total length of films exported was
in round terms 100000 feet,
amounting in total to over 10000
miles, and of these nearly 1O0,00O,000
were exposed" films ready for use;
the remainder "unexposed' films, for
the United States is now the worlds
largest manufacturer of films for the
camera and the projecting machine.
Even this enormous expectation falls
below the record of 1917. A COM
pilation by the National City Bank of
New York shows that 230, 100000 fest
oI motion picture films made in the
United States were sent to foreign
countries and our own colonies in
the fiscal year 1916, 1s0,0oo,000 in
1917 and 16o.0OO,OOO in 1918, while
over $1,000. 900 worth of foreign films
were imported during the fiscal year
1913. The length of the films pass
ing thru the custom houses of the
country in the last fiscal year was suf-
ncient to stretch almost twice around
the globe at the equator. and about
three-fourths of this enormous total
was American films exported.

that Dillon was arrested and convicted

tanning them. He was highly success

record So the district court gave
Dillon five years in prison-or a
parole on the grounds that he would
leave the state and never return.
Dillon gained some sympathy when
he told the court he chastised the Ger

But he has obeyed the order of the

Fire companies responded to two
calls this morning. At 1890 o'clock
an alarm was turned in by Mrs. Morse
whose coal shed was on fire at Quincs
and Kistler streets. Small boys and
the fascinating mystery of what makes
a match go, were the cause of the
fire. The resulting damage was trif-

was the cause of this blaze. Damages
did not amount to much.
