where no one ever comes" I real

girl who had so recently won my
trust and affection was the last
thing in the world I'd think of
doing. Yet in the light OF Evvy's
seeming deception about her trip.
my appearing in this out-of-the-way
cafe might suggest a sort of pri-
vate detective work.

voice:
II must get away quickly"
"Of course. Come at once" she
said, with n glance OF sympathy for
my agitation.
What is it?" she asked as we
reached the cool of the sidewalk.
WAS 1t too warm for you there?"
Decidedly" I gasped. smiling in
spite of myself at the realization
that in another second it might
have been too warm for Evelyn
Mason also.
There's a nice little open-air gar
den about mile up the road,
Miss Storrs suggested. Two wom-

comment or criticism. AS matter
of fact, l suppose that applies to
nine.tenths of the eating places In
the city"
We drove up the road in the
silence of understanding. For the
time being the question I'd wanted
to ask about my ins france slipped
into the back Of my mind. The mo-

me leaning eagerly across the table

mabel, is there any insurance
on my apartmGnt-theo one I'm SUD-
letting, ! mean2"
She was studying the menu, so
probably the eagerness of my face,
of my voice itself, escaped her.
TITS covered by insurance, she
replied carelcssly, but of course it
is taken out in favor of the people
who have the mortgage. What
makes you ask?"
THE apartment was burned out
yesterday" I replied. This means
that l lose all my pretty things and
don't get a bit of money to make
up for 1t, doesn't it?"

moment she recovered her pose
and spoke with quiet encourage

hope that there would be something
to salvage. And when, at the end

Plans are also made for smoothing
the main travelled parts of the fair
grounds, especially around the build
ings and where displays are made. Eff
forts have been made this fall to disc
and drag those sections but the wealth
err has been unfavorable and the work
has not yet been done altho the pro-
cess is to be. continued either this
fall or in the spring. 1t is planned
to SOW a sod-producing grass on the
grounds.
A crew is at work completing the
fence around the grounds. The posts
are being sawed off to even lengths
and the tops painted. The stapling of
the heavy mesh wire has been COM
pleted.
During the winter the 1923 pre-
MUM book will be compiled and is
sued early in the spring. Special
prizes, new departments, pictures, etc
are already being arranged for it.
The business public is expected to
give the book the same liberal pat
ronage accorded this season.

New Buildings Planned for Ward
County Fair TO Be Held in .July

Plans for further building at the
fair grounds at Minot are beginning
to be discussed and it is expected the
coming season will see other needed
structures added. Another good sized
stock barn is required as many addi-
tional exhibits of livestock are prom
lsed for the next fair which will
probably be held in July. At that time
the farmers are more free and able to
bring in their stock. Moreover, there
are certain fine exhibits that make the
circuit of the principal fairs and are
expected to come here.
A speed barn on the fair grounds
is also impcrativcly necessary. The
temporary arrangements made for
this year were barely able to take
care Of the small number of horses
that were entered in the races. 1t is
expected the number Of racers will be
largely increased the coming season
and that much more barn room, and
more conveniently located, will be
needed. 1t is expected the new stock
barn will be located just east of the
present barn and will form the center
Of the row Of stock barns it is ulti-
mately hoped to erect. The speed
barn, according to the plan of the
ground laid out by the landscape arch
ltects, would be located on the level
ground at the north end of the race
track. A paddock is also needed, tenn
porary arrangements having served
this year.
A cement floor is to be laid in the
Exposition building the coming spring,
as it is expected the earth filling in
side will have sufficiently settled by
that time. Better sewerage arrange
ments for the grounds must also be
made and it is expected a sewer line
will be laid from the cess pools to
the river.
With the completion Of the dam
below the Walker greenhouses and the
raising of the river to render boating
possible from all parts Of the city, it
IS expected a river landing on the
front at the fair grounds will be built
and the river gate opened to patrons
OF the fair The landing will also
be used for fire protection purposes.

quest Of the complaining witness an
adjournment has been taken in the

At the request of the defendant jury

Interesting and startling develop

had wronged his sister, mother on
other female member of the family.
1t is rumored here that some Is

fly in the case Monday.
