 "I don't know" I confessed gravely. I'm not sure she intends to let us find out. Perhaps she was delegated by Jim with blanket order to stand by. fear we'll just have to put up with her-as she is.''
 The telephone interrupted, and on answering it Mabel handed the receiv- CT to me. Pats voice greeted me.
 Seen that little Cordova woman?'' he ased. She was due down here ages ago.
 I explained that shed left very re- gently to keep a luncheon appoint m ent for which she was, presumably, an hour or more late. Pat sighed and dismissed her with an ejaculation: then he added casu- ally:
 Would it be asking too much Of you to run in here, Anne? Unless you were planning to drop in any way''
 wasn't planning to drop in," I replied with feeling of naystdcation at his fancying anything of the sort. Why should I?''
 You left the house bright and early this morning, didn't you?" he asked. And on my agreeing in astonishment he added: ''I know, because I've been trying to locate you all morning" Thanks for the attention. I think l I und derstand," I replied, never doubt l ing that Pat had relented and had 1 decided to give me a wee bit of adv1ce Or help where Virginia is concerned. | Do you really, now?' he mocked. | Then don't be standing there arguing | with me. but come along without fur ther palaver."

 "Go right into MT. Da1ton's office, please. Mrs. Harrison" she said.

 I thanked her and opened the door

 first thing which came to my attention
 was Pats empty chair. Then I no- ticed that the door to the inner office was open.
 "Pat!" I called. Its Anne"
 Through the open doorway a figure

 The tendency to diabetes appears to be congenital. It is most intense in childhood; but, escaping that peri cd, the individual is less and less like ly to acquire the disease if he remains underweight, whereas in the obese the tendency finds fertile soil.

 Nervous excitement or nervous strain has also been considered a fac tor in the etiology of diabetes. It is notable, however, that soldiers return ing from the front did not show sugar in the urine.

County Unit Plan 6 Would Help Rural
 Schools Compete

Boston, July s.-By the county unit plan the rural schools would be able to compete with the best city schools, Agnes Samuelson, superintendent of Page county schools, Clarihda, O.. said in an address last night before the Ma tional Education Association, now holding its 60th annual meeting here.
 ''The county unit plan means tbA abolishment of the small district S1e- tenn and the inauguration of business efficiency standards in all that per- tains to the rural school, the strength ening of supervision, the unifying of administration, the facilitating Of con- Solidation, and the elevation of tho county superintendency to a position of high professional Standing," said Miss Samuelson.
 "Of pivotal importance in this pro- gram of reconstruction is the county superintendent of schools, who should become the executive official appoint ed by the County Board of Education for qualifications, not for political req sons. His salary, tenure, and the recognition due him should be com mensurate with the duties -s'an~~ ties and responsibilities

Looks to me as if you cared for him more than you realized,'' was Miss Martha's prompt answer. You see, Ilona, I'v been in love myself, strange as it may seem to you and the rest of them here. But it's true. And how I lovedi God almighty couldn't have loved more or deeper than I did. dear, nor suffered more in the end.''
 "Oh, Miss Martha, tell me about it, do," whispered Ilona, all agog now.
 Well, from your description just now, I should say that you didn't need any telling, honey. You've de- scribed . my feelings for Andy to a tee. And Andy went off, just as your Don Miguel has done, and left me here to weep and count the years, the way I do." said Miss Martha, sadly "But there's no forgetting the man who lets you do that-nor time nor tide, nor any sea, shall take my love away from me!''
 Poor, dear friend" said Ilona softly as she listened, but somehow or other, Miss Martha. I don't believe that time or tide or even the sea will completely take my Miguel away from me! Silly, aren't I?"
 'tNo, young and hopeful Keep that thought always with you, my dear, and you'll find that it will have results. Trouble with me was that I didn't believe that way.

CHAPTER "
In the GIoaninr-

Following the supper prepared by Gail, Redmond announced he was going to Leredo. Shorty got ready to leave also. but was dissuaded when Redmond suggested that Cuniff and Lowrey might return.
 When Shorty saw Redmond's fig ure being swallowed in the dusky shadows of the big level between the ranch house and Laredo, he sat down glumly into the plains.
 There. Half an hour later. Gail found him
 Oh" she said softly, eare you alone?"
 Yep. That is-yes, ma'am," he re- turned difhdently.
 And where is Mir. Redmond?"
 "Billy's gone to Laredo.'
 Why she said slowly, ~I-I thought
 Wasn't it understood that I-that
 Billy said different" he told her. An Billy generally figgers things out pretty wise, ma'am."
 She was silent for a long time and Shorty could feel her gaze on him.
 Shorty heard her dress rustic again, and out of the corners of his eyes he saw her step across the porch and take a seat on it's ed ge, near him.
 It was the first time in his life that any woman had so signa1ly honored him.
 Have you known Mir. Redmond long?" she asked quietly. Not so long-as time goes. But I've knowed him pretty deep. He's all wool an a yard wide, na'am.''
 How old is Mir. Redmond, Mr. She paused and lookec at Shorty ex- pectantly.
 "McGuinness," supplied Shorty. "McGuinness,' she added. com- pleting the question. "Biny's 2s." He looked directly at her, a faint grin on his face. He aint married" he added. "Oh." she said, and returned Shorty's look with one equally direct and defiant. 50 Mir. Redmond i;

CHATTER " An Affray at Midnight

All <AAlIhy dl 3NxiuhISht
 Half an hour later Shorty went i'm to the house, lighted a lamp, placed it on the center table and gazed around him. Then he heard Calls voice, issuing from behind a closed door:
 MT. McGuinness!"
 "Yes'm.''
 There is a bedroom off the par lor"
 No more sounds came from behind the door. Shorty grinned-the girl was not afraid of him.
 A clock on a shelf caught his gaze. He went to the shelf and wound the clock.
 Ready to turn from the shelf he saw a photograph of Gail standing there, propped against the wall The picture was very like her and Shorty stood for a long time contemplating it, worshipfully. a longing in his heart that almost hurt him.
 Then his face redder than the scarlet neckerchief he wore. he blew out the light. ttptoed to a door lead ing from the parlor,-opened it and sought his bed.
 Shortly after midnight he was awakened by the creaking of a floor board on the porch. In the dead | stiffness of the night the sound had smote his ears, with the sharp reson- ance Of a pistol shot. He found himself sitting erect on the side of the bed. His heavy pis- tol was in his right hand-with the | left he was tightening the cartridge belt around his waist. He sat for a time on the edge of | the bed. listening. Then hearing another sound-also from the direc- | tion of the porch. He got up and stole softly to the closed bedroom door.
 1 Making his way cautiously through | the parlor he reached the door lead | ing to the sitting-room and peered at 1 the door leading to the porch. He heard a sound from beyond it, saw it begin to open slowly toward l him, and he swung the muzzle of his | pistol up and covered 1t. | On the instant a shadow darkened the shaft of moonlight that strea med in through the open window opposite | the door.
 Shortly divined now that Lowrey | and Cunif had returned. and that 1 one of the men was at the door and | the other at the window.
 He threw his gun around and | snapped a shot at the shadow in the l wind oW-a mans head and shoulders clearly outlined in the moon-glare. A | red flame streaked at him with the | report of his own weapon.
 The bullet struck his left shoulder He sta ggered and shuddered from the | shock, but managed to keep his gun and eyes trained on the window. The mans head and shoulders were l still there, but the shoulders had sagged and the head had leaned for l ward inertiy. The arms, inside. kept the mans body from dropping.
 Shorty was badly hurt. His fin
 gers loosened; the gun dropped from
 his hand and thudded duly upor the bare boards of the floor and | Shorty sagged back against the wal
 of the sitting-room-

H. L.:-The skin is sometimes in the condition you describe merely be- cause of poor elimination. Often sluggish liver or an in1pacted colon will cause the skin to become red and also very dry. Clear the system and note the result in your complexion.
 L.. M.:-Little children often have warts for a time and they disappear without treatment. If they do not dis solve after applying oil to them, try turpentine for three or four days. An other method is to moisten the warts and then rub salt into them.
 Stenographer:-The only way you can change the shade of your hair is to bleach it in the part where it is changing. It is evident that yours is gradually growing darker. Doubt less, if you bear with the change now you will be rewarded in a short time by having much better results. If you began to bleach it that would only lead to continuance and an unnatural looking head.

Advice To The
 LOVelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
Idealizing a Weakling

 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 am deeply in love with a man four years my senior. He tells me often about another girl to whom he says he was engaged. Lately he claims that whenever he takes her out and shows a little affection to her she re- turns 1t a hundredfold.
 He tells me this and yet he doesn't seem to understand that I love him. Although I have never, told him in words, I think my actions have often showed it. Should I force myself to forget him. or should I keep on loving him and perhaps some day he will know. He says he has no love left for the other girl, but yet he takes her out and sends her flowers.
 I'm afraid the man you are idealtz- ing is a weakHng. His attitude to- ward the other girl Is in no way man ly or admirable. And he evidently feels so much interested in himself that he isn't consid ering you at all. You don't love the man you describe you couldn't. You merely drape him in the qualities you would like him to have and give your heart to your own creation. See him as shilly- ize that such an individual can't bring happiness or devotion into any wom- ans life.

 Shorty's eyes dropped, and he blushed. They, ain't nobody ever asked me, ma'am..
 Asked your she questioned in astonishment. "Why, always sup posed men did the ask1ng?''
 Them that have somethn' to offer a girl do, I reckon-like good looks, an a big upstandin' body, an such like. I'd feel So as though I'd cheat ed a girl if I was to offer myself to her an she take me-
 "why?"
 Shorty laughed.
 Take a good look, ma'a 'am,' he inuvited, meeting her gaze fairly.
 Hope had gone from him because of the interest she had shown in in her presence now than he felt be fore.
 Shorty had almost conquered his embarrassment, and he grew enthus- iastic over Redmond. Now that she had betrayed interest in his friend, here was his opportunity to repay Redmond for the disloyalty he had previously exhibited in permitting Redmond for the diisloyalty he had previously exhibited in permitting Redmond to go to Laredo and leave him with the clear field.
 The girl listened to him attentively, and yet, it seemed to Shorty, with out any visible interest. Several times, Shorty noted she yawned. con cealing the yawn with the palm o1 her hand.
 When Shorty paused, at length she got up, murmured something and went into the house. For a long time Shorty sat on the edge of the porch, scowIfng into the night shad ows that were envelopine him.

Of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana were
mailed today by Secretary H. L. Ear

100000 cash for the farmers and put
ting into circulation next Saturday in
the Burley district a sum of money
which will mean a considerable stimu.

The checks are to be delivered Sat
urday to the growers in their home
counties. Those who deliver their to-
bacco in other counties than their

Of delivery to receive their checks
Many growers in Central Kentucky
delivered their tobacco to the Lexing-
ton receiving plants. but they will be
paid in their own home counties and
not in Lexington unless they are resi-
dents of Fayette county.
Every grower should have his par
ticipation certificate with him, and all
must write their addresses on the back
Of the checks in order to have them
honored by the banks. Merchants
throughout the district are urged by
associations officials to see that the
postoffice address, as we'll as the name
of the grower, is plainly written On
the back Of each check before they ac-
cept It. In this way the correct ad-
dress of the grower for the present
crop year will be in the hands of the
