THE LOVE PENDULUM"

So that ranked still with him! I
made a sudden effort to please him..
IF you knew how l hated it, and
the people, the old ones and the new
ones too. 1 want to drop it all"
That's where you are folish.
You've made some influential
friends"
"Please!" I begged. Lets not talk
of it, Win dear. This is just the way
we used to begin. Let's don't do it
again."
For answer he came over to me
quickly and kissed me again. And
as always, his kiss made me forget
everything but my own great love
for him.
How different the place seems"
I said to start a new line of con-
versation, to get away from our
dangerous topic.

various new objects. A snapshot
On the mantle caught my eye-Win
and some men and women 1 did not
know, standing in bathing suits on
a beach. Win, following me, gave
me their names. Another picture
showed Win standing by a canoe,
and Gwen easily recognized even in
an amateur snapshot, sitting in the
canoe. She took an extraordinarily
good photograph; the test of any
! ones appearance Is always in these
snaps"

began, wondering whether there
was any sentiment in his moving

know, my old room had only one"
he answered, destroying the senti-
ment at once.
He opened the door and I went
in, smiling at the change in a place
that I had made SO dainty and fem
mime. 1t was now in spite of the
| delicate graceful lines of its furni-
ture, typically a mans bedroom.
Wins brushes and combs were on
the %chiffonier, however, and on the
little dressing table I had used,
nothing but a large photograph of
Gwen set in a frame of beautifully
carved silver.
I walked through the other
rooms, Win with me. Everywhere
I was met with pictures-pictures of
Gwen or of other women of almost
everyone but myself.
you used to have a lot of pic
lures of me-" I said foolishly, but
unable to conquer my resentment.

That was the unforgiveable ques-
ton.

So all differences came to this
that Win walked across the room
and kissed me.
And in his kiss l forgot everything
that worried me, and everything
that had hurt me in the past.

myself saying over and over, while l

And he answered simply, Con

>."I'm we'll. I've been working
hard"
The talk ended. We stood and
looked at each other for awhile.
With so many things to say, we
could find nothing to talk about
for a long time.
So he had been working hard!
That accounted for the maps, the
papers and books about, the ink
stands and pencils and other Office
equipment. Not a word as to how
much he had been going out!
you're looking rather we'll too"
he said finally. Not pale as you

III omens attend this day, accord

The Sun, Mars. Mercury, and Ur-

During this sway there is likely
to be difficulty in concentrating the
mind on important matters, and the

The Sun is held to have power,

age arrogance on the part OF those
who have tasted success or prosper
.ty.
BY this sign it is wise to defer
asking favors OF seeking the sup
port of men or women whose In
f1uence is desirable.
Those who need employment
should defer any effort to obtain
work until the stars are more
kindly in their influence.
Mars forecasts dissatisfaction
and unrest among military men. Ser
vice of some sort seems to be indi-

MINOR GORDON WINS
 FROM HACKENSCHMIDT

Losing the first fall In last nights wrestling bout to Leo Hackenschmidt in fifteen minutes. Minor Gordon of this city. humbled his Texas opponent in the remaining two falls by putting Hacks shoulders to the mat in only two minutes in the second and II minutes being required in the last and deciding fall. \ record crowd was out to see the Prescott athlete down the lS4 pound terror from Dallas.
 The wonderful endurance displayed by young Gordon n the first fall which lasted fifteen long minutes, and the short time required in dispensing with Hachenschmidt in fall number ?. and the bull dog grit and remarkable science brought into play by Gordon to win the final fall. was a source of much enthusiastic praise for the local boy by the large crowd of ringside fans last night.
 The local admirers of Gordon have always had strong faith in his abil- ity to hold his own with all corners. but they were scheduled for real pleasant surprise in last nights tilt. Although the strain of this, his first program on the mat in some months. taxed the strength and endurance of young Gordon, he undisputedly proved his mettle and retained by large margin his undefeated record.
