Maize was in very absent-mind-
ed mood. She generally presided
over the notion counter in Smith
and Carriers stuffy basement with
the air of a queen, but this morn
| ing her mistakes were many and
varied. Her latest customer, q
stout lady. after an unsuccessful at
tempt to match silk OF an impos-
Sible blue had sailed indignantly
away, when Maize, glancing to the
front of the store, saw something
that brought the pinhest of roses
to her pretty checks. A somewhat
huIking young man in grjmy over
alls and flannel shirt was vending
his way in her direction He stopped
for a few moments of .loW-tOned
conversation and then continued to-
ward the hardware department.
Who's your friend?" asked An
ME, the blond girl who sold rib
hons at the next counter, and with
whom Maize exchanged many opin-
ions on various subjects.
"Oh, his names Dan Blake" an
swered Maize with a conscious
blush. II met him at one of the
community socials. He works over
in the machine shop. He just asked
me to go to the movies tonight
Don't you think he's nice looking?"
He might be if he cleaned him
self up" agreed Annie.
This struck an answering chord
in Maizie's heart. Her soul aspired
to georgette crepes and dainty lin
gerie. She looked down with dis
dain on her cheap black dress and
still cheaper lace collar with which
it was adorned. Then she glanced
with admiration at the immaculate
ly-clad floor walker, Mr.. Barker.
From his sleek head to the tips of
his patent-leather shoes he was per-
fection-in dress, at least. Even as
she gaZed he turned and came over
to her counter
Say, Maizie, you sure do bloom
in the desert air." he said. looking
with rather bold admiration at her
pink cheeks and sparkling eies.
There's a dandy picture over at the
Paragon tonight. If you say SO I'll
meet you there at eight" Maize.
with the knowledge that Annie was
enviously listening, accepted the in
vitation at once
After that gloom seemed to settle
over the basement like a dark cloud.
Even the ray CT sunshine that had
stra ggled through the high win
dow disappeared. Desultory con-
versation across the ribbon coun-
ter ceased and with the tagging of
trade Maize withdrew into the she'll
of her own dark thoughts. Some
how through them all she could see
Dan Blake's kind face and honest
eyes and she found herself wonder
ing how he would look when he
saw her walking into the theatre
with the immaculate Mr.. Barker.
Of course she had not actually
promised Dan, but she knew down
in her heart she had fully intended
to go with him when lie had asked
her. She had an uncomfortable
in the region of her
throat. AT that moment a bevy of
high school girls came chattering
down the stairway and over in her
direction. Rich furs open at the !
threat showed georgette crepes, !
and short skirts displayed trim
French heels and silk stockings.
But they found no charm in Maizie's
eyes.

After that MaiZies heart light

When the big gong rang at half
past five she stopped on her way
out of the store beside Mr.. Barker
who was arranging his splendid tie
to a greater satisfaction to himself
before a small mirror.

Cattleman Severely
Injured by Flying
Stove Wood Length

Barely escaping loss of an eye, re-
ceiving cracked skull just above his
right eye, and a broken nose, was the
experience of VIM. Frazee, cattleman
OF South Pass, II miles from Tomb
stone, Sunday in a peculiar accident.
F'raZee was operating a buzz saw
rugged up to a wheel of his automo-
bile and was saving stove wood when
in some manner one of the lengths
became entangled in the blade and
was hurled at his head with such
force that it cracked his skull over the
eye and broke his nose at the bridge,
and otherwise severely bruised his eye
and face.
Mrs. Frazee, who witnessed the ac-
cident, which occurred shortly before
four o'clock, Immediately telephoned
Harry Kendall at his ranch several
miles away and the injured man was
brought to Tombstone where the in
juries were dressed by DR. Hughart,
who reports that no serious conse-
quences will result although the
wound is a severe one.
