SOUTH DAKOTA
STONE IN WASHINGTON PILE

Washington, ID. c., June %, 1922
South Dakota's memorial stone In the
Washington monument was dedicated
yesterday with appropriate ceremo-
MES on the 300-foot level in the shaft
IN the presence Of more than a humid
red South Dakotans.
Senator Sterling presided at the *
c~rciseS and made the presentation add
dress. He read a telegram from Gov.
McMaster expressing his regret that
he could not be present to partici-
pate III the presentation exercises
and extending his best wishes and the
appreciation OF the people Of the state.
In his address Senator Sterling dwelt
on the early history Of the state and
referred especially to the many men
now dead who were outstanding char
acters in the first Constitutional Con-
vention held at Sioux Falls in Septem-
Der, 1883, and their work and devo-
ton to the us Of division and state
hood. He also called attention to the
several United States senators of that
time who were such able champions
Of the cause of statehood on the floor
Of the senate.
The address Of acceptance on behalf
of the Government was made by the
Secretary Of War, the Washington
monument being in the custody of the
Wan Department. The secretary said
in part: ''There is no obligation on
any state to contribute a stone to the
Washington monument. 1t is a prac-
tice founded on a beautiful sentiment,
and every stone thus presented is III a
sense a token Of love and a pledge
TO uphold and maintain the Union.
South Dakota has contributed this
splendid granite block, and it is my
honor and great pleasure to welcome
the South Dakota State stone TO the
monument and accept it IN the name
of the President and the people of
the United States.'
In his address, Senator Norbeck
spoke in part as follows: To-day
South Dakota is one Of the most
prosperous states in the whole United
States. We are lacking in some
things that the older states have, but
we are happy. Only part Of our work
has been done, but we are content
that our work has been done well
We have a splendid people and they
came there with the right spirit, the
pioneer spirit-to take responsibility
without flinching."
In a brief address Congressman
Royal c. Johnson expressed the pride
Of the people of South Dakota in join
ing with the other states in doing
honor to the memory Of George Wash
ington by tie contribution of the
memorial stone.
Congressman c. A. Christopherson
referred in his address to the fact
that the funds for constructing the
Washington monument were raised by
voluntary subscription Of one cent
from the school children Of the coun-
try. IIc declared that the people OF
South Dakota have always taken an
interest in the political government

days Of encouraging friendliness, only
a few appealing gIances from uplifted
blue eyes, and a few casual touches Of

the position Of young Mrs Ward Car

She had let him turn her face up, In

her hungrily upon the lips, and she
had sent him in to his dinner half-wild
with the joy Of knowing himself be-

and half-frlghtened, and with his last
whispered prophecy ringing in her
ears:
"Wait a year-rot I I'll go to the

"PLEAsEI" 9

Synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old, and beautiful, is
the social secretary of the flirta-
tous Mrs Isabelle Carter, at
"Crownlands," Richard Carter's
home, and governess- of seventeen
year old Nina Carter. Ward,
twenty-four years old and impress
sionable, fancies himself In love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carriers latest affair" is with
young Anthony Pope, and the
youth is taking it very seriously.
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundry disturbed by the arrival of
q visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at a tea party in the city,
Blondin makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophlsticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance Of Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before, and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
of the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Marriet his intention of
marrying Nina, who, as the daugh-
ter of the wealthy Richard Carter,
is a highly desirable catch" and
urges her to aid him. She Is in
a sense in his power, and after
pleading with him to abandon his
scheme agrees to follow a policy
of neutrality. Harriet visits her
married sister, Linda Davenport,
with whom she had had her home
during her unfortunate acquaint-
ance with Blondin. and tells her of
his temperance. The two women,
realizing the INSCRIPTIONS nature
of the man. vfew the future with
apprehension.

And suddenly the bright head was

her heart, circled her arms, mother
fashion, as she had circled them a
hundred times, about her little sister.

said respectfully.
This courtesy, from a beautiful
young woman to an old one, always an
tagonized Madame Carter. Harriet
knew that she was casting about for
some honeyed and venomous farewell,
when the muffled thrill Of the bell
Ella were heard. Immediately after
ward Richard Carter came quickly in.
He met Harriet at the door.
"HOw are you, Miss Field? Tell
Nina to hurry I've got about five min
utes!" he said, pleasantly.
Don't keep Miss Field; she is max
ing her train !" said his mother, COM
ing forward under full sail, and laying
both hands about his. "Tll explain
about Nina"
Richard Carter gave his mother the
peculiarly warm smile that was espe-
cially her own.
"Went on with Ward, eh?" he said
in his hearty voice. That's all right
then. Oh, Miss Field !" he called, after
Harriet's discreetly retreating back,

there; I'll run you home in half the
time the train takes. I'm playing in

Harriet, turning for just nod and
smile, heard no more. But as she en-
tered the lift, the girl said to herself,
with a passionate sort of gratitude
"Oh, like you You're the only genu-
inc and unselfish and kind-hearted one
in the whole crowdl"
She went down to the street, and
saw the small car waiting. He was
driving himself today. With a great
sense of comfort and relaxation Har-
riet got into it, and was comfortably
established, and tucked in snugly,
when Richard came down. He smiled
at seeing her, got into his own seat !;
the machine slipped smoothly into mo-
ton, the hot and sordid streets began
to glide by.

The spontaneous response in her
tone made Richard Carter laugh.
Harriet was content to enjoy this
restful interval between the hurry and
crowding Of Linda's house and the
currents and cross-currents that she
must encounter at Crownlands. She
watched the green country go by, the
trees silent and heavy with their rich
foliage, the villages blazing with the
last June roses.
They flew by the great gates Of the
country club, and turned in past
Crownlands lodge, and Harriet got out
at the steps, and turned her happy,
flushed face toward the man to thank
him. Whatever she saw In his face as
he smiled and nodded at her pleased
her, for she went upstairs saying again
