"Oh, shut upp growled Fairchild,
but he grinned In schoolboy fashion
as he said it. Harry poured half can

wheel with almost loving tenderness.
"She's got wye about 'erl" he
echoed. Fairchild suddenly frowned.

And the next night he started upon
his investigations. Nor did he stop to
consider that social events had been
few and far between for him, that his
dancing had progressed little farther
than the simple ability to move his
feet In unison to music. Years Of Of
fee and home, home and office, had not
allowed Robert Fairchild the natural
advantages of the usual young man.
But he put that aside now; he was
going to that dance, and he was going
to stay there as long as the music
sounded, or rather as long as the
brown eyes, brown hair and laughing
lips Of Anita Richmond were apparent
to him. What's more, he carried out
his resolution.
Again and again Fairchild's eyes
searched the crowds, the multic0lored,
overdressed costumes of the women,
the old-fashioned affairs with which
many of the men had arrayed them
selves, ranging all the way from high
leather boots to frock suits and stove
pipe beaver hats. From one face to
another his gaze went on; then he
turned abstractedly to the long line
of tables, with their devotees Of keno,
and bought paddle.
From far away the drone of the cali
er sounded in a voice familiar, and
Fairchild looked up to see the narrow
eyed, SCARED face of Squint ROdaine,
who was officiating ct the wheel. BE
lost interest in the game; lackadais-
ically he placed the buttons on their
squares as the numbers were shouted,
finally to brush them all aside and de-
sert the game. His hatred Of the Ro-
DANES had grown to a point where
he could enjoy nothing with which
they were connected, where he de-
spised everything with which they
had the remotest affiliation-excepting,
of course, one person. And as he rose

Two or three laughing men had
started forward, among them a fiddler,

rushed out In Haunting bravery, brand
ishing his violin as though to brain the
intruder. Again the command:

clicked, and the crowd rushed for the
windows. The holdup had been real

affair. On the floor the fiddler lay

All In a moment the dance hall
seemed to have gone mad. Men were
rushing about and shouting; panic

 The Chicagoan visited the Argen- tine paleontologist and heard from him the story of Patagonia's mon- ster. Profess6r Riggs said that the data was very interesting. but that 1t could not tempt him from his fos- siI hunt The plans for his expedition, to allow him to state whether he would visit the reputed haunts of plesiosarus. ~

4t-------------T---s -T---s-------------------- CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ARE STORMY PERIOD. |IN NEAR EAST MEET.

LAUSANNE, Dec 22.--Christmas threatens to be storm time at the Lausanne Near East conference. Thursday was bad day; today was worse. A temper, which did not seem to harmonize with the usual spirit of the Yuletide, pervaded to- days session of the subcommission on minorities.
 Efforts were made to get pr. Riza Nurbey, the second Turkish delegate, who formerly was accredited by the Angora government to represent It at Moscow, to agree to the exemption of the Christian minorities in Tur- key from military service.
 But he refused flatly and declined to give any reason for this deciina- tion and several others.
 Riza Nurbey also refused to agree to a provision for the preservation of Christian cemeteries in Turkey. This caused much surprise. as the Turks ordinarily are extremely care full to protect Cemeteries.
 The allies insisted that the Turks must respect the work done under the League of Nations in recognition and restoring to their families Christian women and children who were seized and islamized by the Turks before the close of the great war The Turks also declined to agree to this provision and the sub commission ended the session seem ingly with a feeling of utter dis gust at what they termed the high ly irsoient" attitude of Riza Nurbey.
 The Turkish delegation has re- ceived instructions from Angora that no agrAements arc to be made at Lausanne on economic questions.

WARRINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-IFEKALD IVost.;,tufnn nc nar %

In course of his speech in favor Of the pending ship subsidy bill. sena- tor Randeli of Louisiana, referred to n certain advantage to south Atlantic and gulf ports for which the measure makes provision.
 There Is a provision" he said. which is of essential benefit to tho people of the west, of the south, of the gulf. and of the south Atlantic states.
 ''That provision is that service must be maintained on routes which have been established by the ship ping board There have been great I1iaay routes established from the south Atlantic, gulf. and Pacific coast cities. The pending bill provides that the routes and service thereon must be maintained for a reasonable timo in order to ascertain whether or not such service may be profitable and businesslike.
 Tt is most important for tho small communities whose people in the past have not been sea-minded to have lines of ships running from their To- calities to the ports of the world.'
 Referring to the failure of the gov ernnent in operatiiis the railroads, Senator Ransdcll said: T have noth- ine but Kind thoughts about the men who at the request of the for mer President and the President who have done the very best thatrwas in them towards handling our vast fleets. Like the men who undertook to operate the railroads. they as- sumed impossible tasks. They did the best they could. They did not sue ceed through no fault of their own; and It is our duty to place the ships in private hands"
 Clashes With Hefiin
 Then occurred clash with Sena- tor Heflin of Alabama. preclpitated when that senator said: T call to the senator's attention the testimony of Mir. Lasker who said that he had not sought business with these ships that he only took what was offered I submit that 1t does not seem that very great effort has been made to get business and make this business success"
 T do not recall tho testimony to which the senator refers" rejolned Ransdeil. "But just as the devil can quote the scriptures for his own pur- pcses. I have no doubt that the able senator from Alabama can pick out some isolated statement of Mir. Las- ker's testimony and let 1t fit in with the views he advocates"
 T simply wish to suggest to the senator" insisted Heflin. that tha devil is for the subsidy"
 "IIe may be- replied Ransdell, but lie has some pretty good com pany. I think there are some angels f0r he xfthafdv doubt there are some devils who arc opposed as well as some angels. in- cluding my very genial and handsome friends from Alabama"
 Senator Rapsdell referred to all members of the shipping board by name. and paid each of them high compliments.
