over her breakfast-to Peter, and he
wondered If Peter had kissed her.

claimed with relish. "Come on,
Sweetums," she added, to the dog.
She caught his fOrepaws, and he
whipped his beautiful tail between
his legs, and looked about with agon-
lied eyes while she dragged him
through a clumsy dance. Hes the
darlngest ppp we ever had!" Alix
stated to Cherry, who was departing
for the rpper regions and complete
costume.

tone.

admitted.
Sorry" Peter echoed impatiently.
But it's quite out of the question, of
course It's quite out of the ques-

for an instant" he suddenly decided
in great satisfaction. You mustn't
forget that she has something to do
with II Very fastidious, Cherry.
She's not like other girls"
That's true-that's true!" Doctor
Strickland agreed, in great relief.
They turned back toward the garden
in time to meet Alix and several dogs
streaming across the clearing. Over
the girls shoulder was coiled the
great rope; she leaped various logs
and small bushes as she came, and
the dogs barked madly and leaped
with her. Breathless, she stumbled
and fell into her fathers arms, and
both men had the same thoughts, one
that made them smile upon her tom

CHAPTER II.

Immediately they gathered by the
fallen rose vine, all talking and dis
putting at once. A light rope was tied !;
an experimental tug broke 1t like a
string tumbling Alix violently In a
sitting position, and precipitating her
father into a loamy bed. Anne, who
was bargaining with a Chinese fruit
vendor frankly interested In their I'M
dertaking, had called that she would
help them In a second, when behind
! Alix, who was still sitting on the
ground, another voice offered help
A young man had come into the
doctors garden; work was stopped
for few minutes while they well
coined Martin Lloyd.
He was tall and fair broad, but
with not an ounce of extra weight,
with brown eyes always laughing, and
ready friendliness always In evil
dence. Anne's heart gave a throb of
approval as she studied him; Alix
flushed furiously, scowled a certain
boyish approval; Cherry had not come
down.
Can you help us?" The doctor
echoed his question doubtfully. 81

admitted.

"Oh help!" Alix calculated, with
look Of elaborate scorn.
''No, but where were you last

when he and Anne could speak unno-

face.

suspicion that had sprung into being
full-blown. Both men were asking
themselves what they knew of this
strange young man who was suddenly
part of their intimate little world.
Peter in his secret heart, had q
vague, dissatisfied feeling that Lloyd
was q man who held women, as a
class, rather in disrespect, and had
probably had his experiences with
them, but there was no way of ex-
pressing, much less governing his
conduct toward Martin by so purely
speculative a prejudice. Somewhat

"Listen-want a drink" Alix asked
coming out with a tin dipper that
spilled glittering sheet of water
down the thirsty nasturtiums. "Rest
a few minutes. Peter. Dad wanted
pole, and Mr.. Lloyd has gone up into
the woods to cut one"
"And where's Cherry?" Peter asked
drinking deep.
"She went along-just up in tn,

be back before yoh could get there
They've been gone five mnutesl"
Five minutes were enough to take
Cherry and her lover out of sight OF
the house, enough to have him put his
arm about her, and to have her raise
her lips confidently, and yet shyly
again to his. They kissed each other
deeply, again and again.
Their talk was incoherent. Cherry
was still playing, coquetting and smil.

| STATE OF ARIZONA
A proclamation designating Sunday,
May 8th as Mothers Day."
| A frequent recurrence to funda-
mental principles, as has been set forth
in the Constitution of the State of Ari-
zona, is essential to the security of in
dlvidual rights and the perpetuity of
| free government. 1t is, also, most de-
sirable in order that there may be pre-
served and clarified that true percep-
ton of values which, amid the many
distractions of modern life, often tends
to become dimmed or to disappear
from our view.
1t is most appropriate, therefore,
that public recognition be given to the
great debt of gratitude owing to the
mothers of America. That such debt
exists, and that it can never be paid.
are eXiomatic truths, admitted by all,
but TOO infrequently given expression.
Even casual reflection convinces US of
the fact that what our mothers have
given to us, and to America, in devo-
ton, in loving self-sacrlfice, in unselfish
service can never be measured, much
less repaid.
As public acknowledgment. there
fore, Of the fact that there is owing to
motherhood measure of loyalty, de-
votlOn and honor which can never be
paid, as an outward and visible symbol
of all that our mothers have so freely
given us, and as token of our re-
newed resolve to strive to measure up
to their ideals for us, unattanable as
those ideals may be, it is meet and fit
ting that expression be given this great
obligation, through the celebration of
Mothers Day, observance of which has
become a beautiful and nationwide
custom.
Now therefore, /, Thomas E. Camp
beu, Governor of Arizona, do, by virtue
ot the authority vested in me by House
Concurrent Resolution Number 8,
adopted by the Fifth State Legislature,
hereby designate Sunday, May the 9Th,
as Mothers Day, and call upon all state
official to display the flag on all state
and public buildings, and the people of
tie State of Arizona to display the flag
at their homes, lodges, churches and
places of business, and at other suit
able places, as a public expression of
love and reverence for the mothers of
our beloved state, and other women
serving 1t, and as an inspiration for
better homes and closer ties between
the home and the commonwealth. 1t
IS farther requested, as is the annual
custom, that the services in the various
churches of the State, on this particu-
lar day, be appropriate to the celebra-
ton Of Mothers Day."
