HE GOLDEN GIRL
BY PHYLLIS pullllDS q

From his vantage point Don Migde. stood for a minute or so after his discovery of I11ona's presence, then realizing that young girlhood was at its ablutions and all unconscious Of any onlooker, he stole gently away from the place, for his heart told him that it was taking an unfair advan- tage to stay and peep at what was not meant for anyone but the girl and the angels to see.
 He walked back and forth through the woods three or four times before finally coming back to the spot thh~ he had left and daring to take an other look at the brook and it's oc- cupant-
 By this time all was well, and H. Ion, clothed and smiling, sat drying her long, fair hair. Now. she evil dently felt the nip of night in the air, for she shivered a little and drew herself together more closely.
 Once more Don Miguel called her name, not too loudly for fear vf breaking the spell. but she heard him and turned.
 He came to the edge of the woods and waved to her as though he had just arrived, for not for worlds would he have had the girl know that he had seen her at her bath. At sight of him Illona smiled and beckoned him to come down beside her.
 ''It's been wonderful here-I had a bath on the brook she told him in little gasps. And the water was so cool, and I was so dusty, Miguel, I just can't stand too much dust on my body at once. That always makes everyone laugh at me in the camp, but I can't help it. Maybe it's because I like the feeling of the water on my body?''
 Miguel stood towering over her for a moment, smiling into her eager, green eyes.
 You remind me of apple bios soms," he said to her, noting the glow on her. cheeks and the sparkle in her eyes.

What Does Your Work
 Mean To You
By Beatrice Fairfax. An Authority on the Problems o1
 Love and Romance.


 A clever writer told 8. story recent ly which seems worth our knowing and considering.
 A man passed a lot where building was under way. Stopping to look on he asked one workman:
 What are you doing?"
 "Working for seven dollars a day. the workman answered.
 The question was put to second workman, who said:
 I'm carving stone. Can't you see that fer yoUrself?"
 But a third replied:
 I'm helping to build a cathedral"
 Aren't all workers divided into the three schools these workmen repre- sent?
 To some the daily task is just a means of making the wherewithal to bu your daily bread And they must drudge along with a dogged feeling that all work means is it's return in money, and all life means is a strug- gle to keep the wolf from the door.
 To some work means the thing at hand They do it as well as possible with hands or head. but the heart is never in 1t. Still they find a certain even if they are stolid they are not afraic for they know they have a real knowledge of the job.
 And the rest are inspired. They see q vision. The work they do is part Of a whole. It Is not just the labor cf carving stone-but it is their share in making the beautiful cathe- dra1 which will rise some day.
 The world is for workers. it is their product. They have made paths through it's wildernesses and they have charted it's seas.
 No task can be drudgery to the one who sees beyond 1t to the beauty to which it may contribute.
 Routine work falls to the lot of many of us- But the scu1lery boy peeling apples and potatoes may cheer himself by thinking of the hun gry who will be few through his work Whoever sees a cathedral rising where he has stood carving stone. sees himself as part of the beauty and usefulness of the world about him.
 It is easy to become discouraged over IoWly or menia1 tasks. It is easy also to become bored by routine work Yet the men who plodded along be- side the horses or mules which drew the barges along the canals long ago, were part of the forward movement toward the great traffic system of our country.
 There's no work that can be tedious or tawdry if only in the heart or the worker there is the feeling:

SECTION

She promises that when she goes to court she will cause a sensation.
 Although her husband has put through a sale of the pretentious Pad dleford residence here, Mrs. Paddle foord still retains possession. She says it's hers, and is going to keep it. all sales notwithstanding.
 She has filed an action to have the entire transaction set aside until after the divorce action has given her a clear title. She says:
 T will give him a divorce when I get good and ready. He knew whom he was marrying and I'll prove it with letters he wrote me before he married me-"
 Two of the letters follow. The first, written by Paddleford in Mexico City two years ago. reads:
 When Ben Teal said on his death bed that he was for the last time looking upon the most wonderful woman and mother in the world, he was right. How much I love you it is impossible to tell. I love you more and more.''
 The other letter, written shortly after the first, reveals equally as much, according to Mrs. Paddleford, that he was aware of her true iden- tity:
 When L was told of your wonder full loyalty to Ben Teal through those nine year and what a wonderful mother you were. I didn't know. But man in the world. God never made flowers as sweet as you.''

Asking Freedom He Says: Didn't
 Kn0U My Wife When We Married''

Los Angeles. Jan. s1.-(specia)- "She didn't tell me who she was."
 That is the strange charge made by pr. George E. Paddleford, wealthy oil operator of this city, against his wife in his suit for annuI- ment
 widow of Ben Teal, theatrical pro- ducer
 Paddleford alleges that she married him in 1918 under an assumed name and that he didn't find out until long after the marriage that she was the former Mrs. Teal, who he charged had figured in several sensational casees in the East.
 Calls It Absurd
 Mrs. Paddleford. whose daughter Is Marie Paddleford. actress. denies the charge emphatically. In an inter- view she stated:
 'It is perfectly absurd and abso- lutely false. Dr. Paddleford knew my history and my past just as well the day he married me as he does to- day.
 'I have neer been known under any other name than the three I have borne-my maiden name of McKfn- ney that of my first husband, Teal, and Paddleford.'' intends to back up her denial with a suit of her own.
 Promises Sensation
 "Just as soon as I have collected all the necessary data-and there's plenty of it-I shall file a bill for df- vorce myself. I certainly have good grounds for it.''

THE EVENING BATH.

Just a few yards ahead of his se- cIuded spot ran a small brook and on it's edge, her slim white legs dab bling in the silvery waters below. sat, or rather crouched, a girl. It was the girl. Illona, for as Don Miguel caught sight of her he drew back still further into the shelter of the three and whispered her name to himself.
 IlIona was totally unconscious of any invaders and sat revelling in her footbath and her own thoughts as she crooned a gypsy song to herself. Now and then she stopped to attack her dusty feet with her hands and to rub her legs with the cool water as hard as she could. Her long, ash-color ed hair hung far below her waist and seemed to twist itself about her shoulders gratefully, as the first winds of the evening played through it's folds.
 Illona herself seemed to enjoy the cool of the place, for she lifted her heavy locks several times the better her neck and shoulders. She was as Joyful as a young kitten at its morn ing toilet.
 Her limbs once satisfactorily cleansed, she slipped out of her thin dark bodice and stood, nude to the waist wondering, no doubt, just how she was to wash the upper part of her without getting her skirts wet through.
 Suddenly, with laugh, she plunged her whole body into the brook and sat looking up at the friendly trees and rosy sky from the depths of the pool in a contented manner The rocks and pebbles at the bottom of the brook evidently bit into her flesh. for once or twice she gave a little cry and raised her body out of the water, the better to change her position. Her firm young breasts glistened with water and smiled at the evening air every time she arose. Several times she had to catch up her hair which insisted on | tumbnng whenever she pinned it up on her head.
 Too and fro she swayed in the wa ter, stretching her strong. white arms gratefully to the cool lap of the r1p-
 pies. and dipping her face right into l the water every once In while. as though she stxovs to kiss tns heart
 of it.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-02-01

Looking sharply to right and left of him as he walked, so as not to miss the girl if she were anywhere about, he finally came to the other side of the woods and stopped at the sound of a voice softly crooning somewhere beyond.
 We'll hidden behind a tree trunk Don Miguel stood still and craned his neck to see who was singing and where.

DOMESTIC FISTIC
 TITLE AMBITIONS
 CALLED BY JUDGE

Though ft Spells lis name some what differently from that of the once famous "kayo" artist, Joe Gang, colored, evidently considered that reputation, fistic or otherwise, is all i'll the sound of the thing; and his name sounded equally as terrifying as that of old Joe Cans. So he sought out his wife, and after an ex- change of words resulting in the de- sired pugilistic frenzy, proceeded to beat the lady up.
 Unfortunately for the ambitious contender for the domestic ring title, the city authorities did not consider wiie-bcating a legitimate branch of the manly art, and Joe Gang was taken into custody by City Police man Carl Lanbertine late Wednes- day night and lodged in the county jail. Hailed before City Magistrate John H. Robinson yesterday, the family cham entered plea of guilty and was offered the usual alternative of paying $10 or serving 10 days.

PAVING SUIT DECIDED FUR
 MILE H. CITY

A slight twist of the wrist and a law book lay open on the desk of Superior Judge John J. Sweeney.
 Enter an order," he told Deputy Clerk Lula Mcintosh, fin the case of the Southern Surety company against the city of Prescott, in favor of the defendant.
 The brief remark saved the tax payers on Mt Vernon street about $5,000 and ended the litigation be- lieved to be the last to arise over the first paving project to grace the NJ. H. city.
 The tacit consent of the surety company to the change in the paving agreement that eliminated the freez- ing clause, delayed the construction from winter until spring and involved the retention by the city of one $5,000-bond, was the basis upon which the decision went to the de- fendant municipality. It may be re- called that the Southwest Contract ing company, bonded by the surety company, went into financial difficult ties and the bonding concern on de- mand of the city that it elect either to pay the bond or perform the con tract, chose to put ill the pavement It was then of record, the court held, and should be the point on which the decision is made plain, that the surety company was cognizant of the freezing clause change, the permitted delay and the consequent remission of the previously stipulated payment of the bonus for the early completion of the work. despite the freaks and fancies of Old Man Winter
 Trial of the case on its issues of fact was finished in a day some weeks ago. The Southern Surety company was represented by Neil C. Clark and the city of Prescott by City Attorney Alfred H. Gale.

DRINKERS AT INDIANS CAMP
 LAND BEHIND BARS

A number of Indians at the Indian camp on the other side of the old brickyard beyond Granite creek, de- cided Sunday that they would cele- brate. Ignoring what history tells of Lo, the poor Indian crazed by fire-water, the Indians, according to information at the sheriffs office, drank deep of tulapai and tiswin.
 Though said to have been more watery and less fiery than the orig inal Jamaica rum with which the Puritan fathers beguiled the New England redskins, the liquor was strong enough to make the drinkers thereof more or less happy, and as a result, it is alleged, they proceeded to make much noise and create much disturbance. Three of them were captured and taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff James Cook, who lodged them ill the county jail and inscribed their names upon the jail register as follows: James Johnson, James Sine, Henry Star. The others made a getaway.
