CHAPTER XII.

She woke early next morning. It
was just six o'clock. She remembered
that her father would be arriving in
two hours. She decided that it would
be pleasant duty to surprise the
poor, old, neglected codger by meeting
him.
At the Grand Central station Daph-
ne found that she was nearly an hour
too early for the train. It amused
her to take her breakfast at the lunch
counter, to Chamber on the high stool
and eat the dishes of haste-a cup of
coffee and ham sandwich 1t was
pleasant to wander about alone in this
atmosphere of speed, the suburban
trains, like feed pipes, spouting
streams of workers, the outbound
trains drawing their passengers to far
off destinies as if by suction.
At length it was time for the train.
Daphne went to the rope barrier OPP
posite the door of entry and waited
in ambush for her father.
At length she made out a rather
shabby man carrying his own luggage.
1t was her father. He looked older
and seedier than she remembered. He
did not expect to be met. He was
looking idly at the new station. He
had not been to New York since it had
been thrown open.
She ran to him. He dropped his old
suitcase on the toes of the man follow
ing him and embraced Daphne with
feryOr. He devoured her with his eyes
and kissed her again and told her that
she was prettier than ever. All about
them there were little groups embrac
ing and kissing. There was d wonder |
full BUSINESS in reunions.
When her father said, 81 haven't |
had my breakfast; have you?" she lied |
affectionately, "No."
Lets have some breakfast to-
gether."
'Fine," said Daphne. "We1l go to
the Biltmore."
'Kind of expensive, isn't itr' he |
asked .anxiously.
"It's my treat" she said.
This amused him enormously. $50
you're going to treat, eh7"
"Yep," she said.
where did you get all the money!"
I'm working lady now"
He laughed again and shook his
head over her.
what did you mean by saying you
we're working Lady," said Wesley
when they were seated at the table
md breakfast was ordered. "Your
mother wrote me something about hav-
ng little disagreement with you
She seemed to be right worried, so /
thought I'd better run on to see If 1
couldn't sort of smooth things over.
I'm glad you came to meet me. We
AN talk without interruption for once.
Tell me all about it."
She told him the whole story of her
lecision to join the great social rev.
Tuition that is freeing women from the
slavery of enslaving the men. Her
was her new watchword:
I don't want to take any more money
rom you"
"Why, honey" he protested, 81 love

en- times as much. / couldn't dream

be CLEANED from the fact that a recent

sum Of $133S.98 in freight charges
alone to say nothing of the original
cost Of the vinegar which consisted of
100 barrels. Evidently our Uncle

At the time this is written, Wednes-
day, the much hoped for rain has not
yet visited this vicinity but we are all
looking hopefully and expectantly for
downpour daily. The excessively
hot weather Of last week changed all
of sudden from IS in the shade to
very close to freezing and the wealth
err this week is much more favorable.
Good rains fell thruout the eastern
section Of the state, extending as far
west as Karlsruhe, point about 80
miles east of Minot. Rains during the
past week were reported south Of Mi
not % miles in the vicinity of Max
and west in the vicinity of Stanley.
Our turn comes next. The rye crop
would be benefited much by good
rain, but at best it will be light crop
as it is very thin on the ground, not
stooling out WELL Wheat appears in
fine condition, but needs rain. The
late seeded grain, such as oats, barley
and speltz, needs rain to start the
crops. Considerable fax is being
sown this week and the seed will lie
dormant until a rain starts it.
