Her eyes always seemed TO hold that
half taunting. half smiling inscrutabil

remarkable about her. unless il we're
perhaps, that she had a little more poise
than the average girl of her years, for
she seemed to be quite young.

tion with him she had shown unmis-
taxable signs of culture. Her hands
were small and we'll cared for, and her
long. pointed nails were cxuuisitely
manicurcd. No kitchen work there,
thought Hunt.
Finally she looked up across the cafe
table at which they were seated.
"You think l do not look like n girl

years, and | am really in need of po-

WILL HE LET CRIME
BE COMMITTED? NOT SO
YOU COULD NOTICE

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Oct. H.
(SpeciaD-Governor Carey has re-
fused to grant what he terms a re-
quest that he agree that a crime may
be committed and then grant a pard-
on to the corporation committing it.
The corporation referred to is the
Midland Carbon Company, which
was outlawed by the 1919 legislature
and which made an unsuccessful eff
fort to stage a comeback during the
session of the 1921 legislature. The
following two letters were secured by
your correspondent today from the
files at the governors office:
"Cowley, Wyo., Oct. 1O.-To His
Excellency the Governor of the
State of Wyoming-Dear Sir: Many
of the farmers at Powell. Beaver,
Byron, Lowell, Cowley and other ad-
jacent places have sent requests to
our club that we take up the matter
Of starting the dehydrating plant at
this place. In comforting with the
manager Of the plant, Mr.. Hoskins
he tells us hat the matter is up tC
the state executive, and that he is
ready and willing to put the remain,
ing part of the carbon plant, which
has been torn down, and the de,
hydrating plant in operation as soon
as he can get permission from the
governor to do so.
THE Cowley Commercial Club
hereby makes a solemn appeal to

the farmers in this end of the state.
and begs of you, inasmuch as it is in
your power to do So. to allow this
plant to be run. as there seems to be
no ready market for the IONS of pO-
tatoes which were raised here this
season. for any suitable prices. other
than to sell most of the potatoes to
this factory for seconds and culls.
and get the ready cash for them.
