Tom went to the Marden home,
where the three girls surrounded him.
Mary and Belle saw TO it that he
danced often with Evelyn. They made
the couple walk in the rose garden.
They started a good campaign, but
Tom was SO easy to manage that they
had little to do.
Tom danced once with Mollie, but
his eyes followed Evelyn's dainty fig
ure until he caught her eye and she
gave him Shy, sweet smile.
Only once more was Tom seen walk
ing home with Mollie He looked
bored, while Mollie's face was like
thundercloud. Tom and Evelyn were
together constantly
Then they noticed a change in Mol
lie. She smiled more and gradually
left off saying bitter things. Once
when she began to answer Belle with
The old sarcasm she stopped short, bit
her lip and answered pleasantly. The
girls were surprised.
Tom was seeing Evelyn home, as
usual, after one of the pleasant sum-
mer hops. When they reached the

Harding he regretted that circum-
for him to consider severance Of his
connection with the Standard Oil Com
pany.
The development promised to delay
again the submission OF nominations for
membership on the board to the Senate.
The President had hoped TO close the
whole matter this week, but it was in
dicated after the interview with Mr..
Teagle that there would be another de-
lay. After his talk with the President
Mr.. Teagle said:
.The question OF future petroleum
supplies and the efforts of foreigners to
exclude this country has developed a
tinent matters seemed to make inapos-
sible at this time my severance from the
company.

TO END DISCOUNT RATES
DENOUNCED BY HARDING

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Progressive re-
discount rates in effect In the st Louis
and Kansas City reserve districts-de-
scrlbed by President Harding recently
as "penalizing rates"-probably will be
removed by the Federal Reserve Board
soon. it was said to-day at the Treasury.
Leading bankers OF the country who
conferred recently with President Hard
ing suggested that these rates be re-
moved TO ease credit conditions. particu-
larly for the agricultural interests.
Treasury officials believe the reasons
for progressive rates have disappeared
and their operation Is thought no longer
necessary.
Such a step by the reserve board. I'm
the Treasury's opinion. would be in line
with a general lowering of rates.

DAN-ULDON, Africa, June 25.-Na-
i tives have brought from the jungles
strange story that has aroused
African tribes TO fever heat Of excite
ment They insist that while in pursuit
Of game they saw a strange giant white
man perched upon the back of man.
moth gryf. White men hitherto have
been unknown in the savage Pan-ul-don
country, where cannibalism still is prac-
ticed.
The gryf whose direct ancestry Is be-
Iieved to date back to prehistoric times,
long has been the terror of natives.
Therefore, the strange control that the
white man is declared to exercise over the
beast has aroused superstition among the
natives, who believe that the man Is
god.
The gryf upon which he was riding
stood at least IS feet tall and Is one Of
the largest specimens ever seen In Africa.
The story is that the white man was
perched in a tree eating meat from
haunch Of deer he had just slain. when
the gryf appeared When the animal dis.
covered him in the tree, it rushed toward
him. The onlookcrs expected the beast to
demolish the tree and devour the white
man.
To their amazement, the man dropped

hand awaited the approach Of the animal
