80 By WILLIAM MACLEOD RAINE
cwra Mcleod II



There wasn't a chance In million
that anybody would hear, but l kept
firm off my fohty-five on the of hope.
And just before night girl on a pinto
came down the side of that uncurried
hill round a bend and got me. She
took me TO a cabin hidden In the bot
TOM of a canon and looked after me
four days. Her father, a prospector,
had gone to Tucson for supplies and
we were alone there. She fed me,
nursed me, and waited on me. We d.
vided a one-roOm twelve-by-sixteen
cabin. Understand, we were four
days alone together before her dad
came back, and all the time the sky
was lettin' down a terrible lot of wa
ter. When her father showed up he
grinned and said, Lucky for you Myr-
tie heard that six-gun of yore's pop !.
He never thought one evil thing about
either of US. He just accepted the sit
uation as necessary. Now the ques-
Left me to die on that hillsideY
"Of course not. That's different"
protested Beatrice, Indignantly.
You're trying to put me in the
wrong. Well. I won't have it. That's
all. You may take your choice, Mr..
Lindsay. Either send that girl away
give her up-haye nothing to do with
her, Or"
"Or-w
"Or please don't come here to see
me any more"
He waited, his eyes steadily on her.
"Do you sure enough mean that, Miss
Beatrice?"
Her heart sank. She knew that she
had gone too far, but she was too Inn
perious to draw back now.
'Yes, that's just what L mean"
''Tm sorry. You're leavin' me no op-
ton. I'm not yellow dog. Sometimes
I'm most man. I'm goin' to do what
l think is right"
"Of course" she responded, lightly.
IF our ideas of what that is differ"
"They do.'
'It's because we've been brought up
differently, 1 suppose" She achieved
stified little yawn behind her hand
you've said it," He gave it to her
straight from the shoulder. "All yore
life you've been pampered. When you
wanted a thing all you had to do was
to reach out a hand for it. Folks were
born to wait on you, by yore way of it.
You're a spoiled kid. Ask me TO turn
my back on friend, and I've got to
say, .Nothin' doin'.' And if you was
just few years younger I'd advise
yore pa to put you in yore room and
feed You bread and water for askin'
it."
The angry color poured into her
cheeks. She clenched her hands till
the nails bit her palms. 81 think you're
the most hateful man 1 ever met" she
cried, passionately.
His easy smile tainted her. "Oh,
no, you don't. You just think you think
it. Now, I'm goin' to light a shuek.
I'll be sayin' good-by, Miss Beatrice,
until you send for me-"
And that will be never" she flung
at him.
He rose, bowed and walked out of
the room.
The street door closed behind him.
Beatrice bit her lip to keep from
breaking down before she reached her
room.

CHAPTER XII
A Lady Wears a Rina.

Clarendon Bromfield got the shock
of his life that evening. Beatrice pro-
posed to him. 1t was at the Robertson
dinner-dance, in the Palm room, with
in sight but not within hearing Of a
dozen other guests.
She camoufiaged what she was doing
with occasional smiles and ripples of
laughter intended to deceive the 9TH
ers present, but her heart was pound
ing sixty miles an hour.
Bromfeld was not easily disconcert-
ed. He prided himself on his aplomb.
But for once he was amazed.

round her knee and repeated. Her

He looked at her wistfully. Kitty
had begun to bloom again. Her cheeks
were taking on their old rounded con-
tour and occasionally dimples of de-
light flashed into them. Already the
marks of her six-weeks' misery among
the submerged derelicts Of the city
was beginning TO be wiped from her
mind like the memory of bad dream
from which she had awakened. Love
was a craving of her happy, sensuous
nature. She wanted to live In the sun.

anybody who liked her could win

Directors Of Maine
Wool Growers Asso.
Meet at State House

The directors Of the Maine Sheep
and Wool Growers Association held
a regular meeting at 10 o'clock on
Wednesday morning at the State
House. all being present, w. j.
Thompson OF South China, Louis S.
Cleaves Of Orono, William Z. Ken
dali of Bowdoinham. Charles H.
Crawford Of Dexter ana Joseph
Reed Of Winslow.
1t was voted to complete the pay
ment for the 1920 clip of wool on a
basis Of IS cents net per pound.
The question Of disposing Of the
| 1921 clip Of wool was also discussed
and in view of the fact that the as
ISOLATION is about one year behind
in getting started, it seemed advis-
able to dispose of such q part of the
1921 clip as could be marketed at a
satisfactory price. The wool market
at the present time Is very satisfac-
tory and growing firmer each week,
so that 1t is believed that the better
grades of the 1921 clip car be sold at
a price that will be agreeable and
profitable to the producers.
Investigations will be made as to
which will give the greatest returns,
whether by having all the wool
graded and secured and sold as clean
wool. or sold in the grease, just as
taken from the sheep. In this way
the 1921 clip can be marketed and
paid for by early spring, leaving the
association with clean slate to be-
gin handling the 1922 clip
With the present volume Of bust
ness and increasing demand, the as
ISOLATION feels that it will be possible
to have a sufficient amount of the
1922 clip manufactured and sold so
that it can be paid for on or before
Jan. /, 1928. 1t is the plan of the as
ISOLATION to turn over the entire clip
each year in period OF from 5 to G
months from the dates received If
found impossible to manufacture and
sell the manufactured products to
take care OF the total amount, the
balance can easily be sold either in
the grease or as secured wool.
The price Of IS cents net, which
the association is paying for the 1920
clip, will be highly satisfactory to
nearly all of the members and with
good management and 4 broadening
out Of the sales department., it is be-
lieved that price approXimating 80
cents can be maintained, which will
prove the success of the organization
and cannot fail to stimulate and ma
terial!y increase the industry in
Maine.
The products of the association are
highly appreciated by the consuming
public. as is indicated by the in
c-'easing sales.
The next meeting OF the directors
will be held on March % at the State
House.

other teams work hard to chalk up
the fastest time.
Frank harrington, Jr., was elected
track captain recently. Harrington
is a four letter man and is a fine
athlete. He holds three school rec
ords and has come within two inches
of the broad jump record which was
set by Pick" Turner in 1906. He
was the winner of the pentathlon
last year, taking four of the five con-
tests and setting a new mark in
each of these events. 1t is rather
unusual for a Junior to have the
honor of being the track captain as
the Office is usually filed by SEN
ior.
harrington is the best all-round
athlete that the school has had for
long time. He specializes in the
dashes. but has been q member of
the relay team for the past two
years. He also goes in for the dis
Gus throw and for the broad and high
jumps He is one that the other
members of the team will follow and
the Cony track team should show up
well this spring.

Governor Issues
Second Statement
on DOllar-a-Dav Bonus

The following statement regarding
the wen-known "Dollar-a-Day" re-
solve. passed by the Legislature of
1917, was issued on Wednesday from
the Executive Department, State
House:
Augusta, Maine, March 1st, 1922.
20 the People of Maine:-
On January Goth I made public
statement in reference to the claim
made against the State of Maine by
a member of the National Guard who
served in the recent World War. The
claimant demanded that he. as a
National Guardsman. be Laid the sum
of one dollar for each and every day
he was in the service of the United
States during the existence of war,
and that the Governor and Council
provide funds for said payment
The Legislature of 1917, Resolve
Chapter 101. did not provide that any
specific amount was to De paid to the
National Guardstnen who served in
the late war, the language of the re-
SOlN Z W llIS IiOl tACtCOlIIE lIIt sum vi
one dollar for each and every day."
and also did not make any provision
for any funds with which to make
the payment. 1t is estimated that
from three and one half to five mil
lion dollars will be required to pay
claims that would be filed against the
state, if later it is decided that the
specific sum of one dollar per day be
paid to each of the said Guardsmen.
The questions raised by this Dollar
a Day" Resolve have been passed
upon by the eight justices of the SUI
preme judicial court OF Maine, and
their opinion is that the determine
tior can now be made by the Legisla-
ture in tho light Of all the circum-
stances"
In view OF the unanimous and I'M
eduivocal statement Of the justices of
our supreme court that tie questions
ar" ones for the determination of the
Legislature, it would DC improper for
the Governor and Council, who are
the executive officers Of the state, to
interpret the resolve, to speculate as
to what was the legislative intent,
to shape public opinion, or to. act in
q Legislative capacity. The iLcGis-
lative. Executive, and Judicitl De-
partments of government occupy sep
aratc and distinct fields. and the per-
manence of our institutions would be
threatened if one department en-
croached upon another.
The Legislature Of 1923 will be in a
position to give proper consideration
to the questions raised by the resolve
referred to and passed by the Lesis-
lature of 1917 and which were sub
mitted to the Supreme Judicial
Court. In view of this situation tho
Legislature that convCncs next win
ter should not be hampered or in
fuenced by any action taken by the
present Governor and Council. These
questions should be thCl oughly I'M

and should be discussed without
prejudice, personalities. or PARTISAN

legal representatives in the Legisla-
ture, will render final decision upon
all the points at issue.
Under date of January 9th the
claimants attorney addressed an
open letter to me and fer q second
time urged favorable action by the
Governor and Council. In order that
