The speaker turned to PoIlyop.
"Where's that boy7" he demanded.
Involuntarily Polly looked toward
'the cot where Wee Jerry lay asleep.
"You mean the baby Oh, you don't
mean Jerry?" she questioned duly.
He held out paper which the squat
ter girl took as II she had been In
stupor. She held 1t up, tried to make
out what was printed on 1t, then
dropped her hand hopelessly TO her
side.
With an exclamation of pity, Robert
went to her and took the fingers that
clutched the paper.

She snatched her hand away, the
document futtering to the floor. In

"Old Marc amt come for the baby,

pitched and strained. Hes mine,
Jerry is. I'm goin' to keep I'm here
till Daddy comes home; so you might
as well all scoot."
In the stiffness that fell as her voice
broke. each man was impressed with
the martyrdom she was passing
through. Robert had never imagined
q person could go so white and still be
alive. With an ejaculation. hoarse and
defiant. he sprang to her side.
"Polly," he cried MY God, don't
look that way Listen to me -
Can he take the baby?" fell monot-
onously from her blue lips.

If Jeremiah Hopkins had seen his
girl, his Polly of the Sun. when she
went home that night. he would not
have recognized her. Her face was
crafty. pitiless, and as white as the
snow under her feet.
Then she waited stoically day after
day. feeding the billy goat but absent
mindedly. asking no questions of Larry
or Lye Braeger how soon her idea
could be carried out. She believed
that they would leave no stone I'M
turned to even up with Marcus Mac
Kenzie.
Early one evening Larry Bishop
burst into the Hopkins hut without the
formality of a knock. He looked years
older than he had but yesterday; and
Pollyup got up, locking and interlock-
ing her fingers.

returned, giving him a smart rap.

Popular 10 Cent Package
Comes Back To Its Own

The housewife likes the convenient
dime. She has always liked it. and
always will. For 10 cents is a price that
appeals to the popular imagination.
The grocer also likes the dime and
the article that sells for dime, since
the 10-cent article means more busi-
ness and quicker turnover. 1t sim
plifies his bookkeeping and In the
long run saves considerable time in
making change; thereby minimizing
mistakes, and helping to keep the GUS
toners moving during rush hours.
Consequently the Postum Cereal
Company. Inc. takes pleasure in an
nouncing new price on Post Toasties,
effective December 81. 1921, which will
enable Grocers to sell n package of
Post Toasties at their pre-war price,
10 cents, and make a good profit.
During the war when prices for food
stuffs in general were rapidly rising.
Post Toasties were tho last corn
flakes to go up in price. All thru tho
trying period of rcadjustnent last
year they held tho market steady and
now they are the first to come down.
No doubt the thrifty housewife will
be found Immediately responsive to
this lowered price.

THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

Other counties might follow the ex-
ample of Campbell county, Wyoming,
il they wish to get rid Of the angry
taxpayers who argue with tho asses
sors over payments to the government.
At the last election Campbell county
elected a woman as county assessor
and since then irate taxpayers nave
become an unknown quantity.
Tho new assessor who was elected py
an overwhelming majority over n male
candidate is Mrs. Roxa S. Kirby. She
is the only woman In Wyoming hold
ing such an elective office. Campbell
county, which is Mrs. Kirbys terri
tory, Is exactly the size Of Connecticut.
Since she has assumed the duties OF
her office tho taxpayer who registered
complaints with every dollar paid is
becoming very rare.
Mrs. Kirby. who served as deputy
assessor before she was elected to her
present office, knows the assessment
business from the ground up to the
money in the bank" and argument
with her regarding the taxable value
of property is most Improbable.
| She was born in Iowa and was
| graduated from the Iowa State Teach
| crs' College. She taught Latin and
| English in Iowa High schools. In 1916
| sho married j. II. Kirby. q ieweler and
| matchmaker, and in 1919 migrated with
| him to Wyoming, where they took uT
| ii homestead in Campbell county on
which they still reside.
II still like TO cook and do fancy
work" Mrs. Kirby confesses after
several months In public office.
