caught his underlip between his
teeth, while Lucinda cast witlessly
about for some way of escape. None
offered. But she nqticed that a
young man standing nearby was OBJ

rather brilliantly good-looking young
man, brilliantly well dressed. AS Luz
cinda's glance rested transiently on
him, his face frightened with a
tentative smile, mad she thought he
started as if he were impulsively

looked back to Bel.
He made a gesture of entreaty.

"NO, by God: you can't and

He caught her arm lightly as she
tried to pass. She stopped, her face
hardening.
Are you going to make another

His hand dropped to his side. Luz

the street entrance, but had taken
few steps when Bellamy ranged
alongside.

BEGIN HERE TODAY
con BY Louis Joseph Vance

Youth, beauty, social position, and
sincere love-these were not suffi-
Gent to hold the affection of
BELLAMY BRUCE, cursed with
an appetite for cheap flirtations and
expensive liquor. The decision to
leave him came when his wife,
LUCINDA DRUCE, having toler-
ated a series of escapades and receiv-
ed his promise of reform, discovered
him intoxicated and dancing with a
woman of ill-repute in a Broadway
cabaret On the eve of her depar-
ture, Lucinda renews an old acquaint-
ance with
FANNY LONTAINE, and learns
that her husband is thinking of form
ing a motion picture company in
California. With them, she visits
the New York studio of Alma Daley
and takes great interest in the screen
life. Then comes her break with
Bethany and a sudden departure to
Chicago, where she is visited by her
lawyer,
HARTFORD WILLIS. Lucinda re-
fuses to return to ner husband.

scene of intimate domestic drama fer
the edification of an entire hotel,
made her aware that the young man
whose interest had first manifested
near the elevators had followed
across the foyer and was now stand
ing at the head of the steps, over
across from Bellamy.
Pushing through the door, she
breathed thankfully the singing
winter air. The canopy lamps made
the sidewalk bright, and she discov-
cred her bellbody shivering by the
open door of a taxicab.
Abandoning all pretence, Lucinda
ran. The bellboy caught her arm
to help her into the cab and chat
tered: "W-where tito, m'm?" She
was prevented from answering by

GO ON WITH THE STORY

Il see you are beginning to formu-
late a philosophy of life. You will
need it, my dear, if you mean TO
fight this out alone. Philosophy is
good medicine only for lonely hearts.
The others it merely hardcns."
Lucinda eyed Willis sharply. "Bel
has been to see you"
He looked me up" Willis adj
mitted in mild surprise, 1.-TWO days
after your disappearance, thinking
you might have communicated with
me. OF course, l could tell him moth
ing. But how did you know"
THAT suggestion, the underlying
thought that | might not be intend
ing to fight out my fight alone
that originated with Bel, didn't it?"
"Wellw Willis stammered, trying
to smile disarmingly-'T confess"
at wasn't enough, of course, that
/ should have found Bel out for the
dozenths time, there had to be a
lover in my background to account
for my leaving him! Did he mention
any name?"
Willis made a negative sign. Bel
lamy didn't imply--he merely said he
was afraid"
ut doesn't matter. What else did
he have to say?"
"He seemed most remorseful-"
II know how remorseful Bel can
SEEM"
"He spoke of employing detectives
to trace you"

ut wouldn't do Bel any good to
see me; it would only irritate him to
find could hold out against a plea
he made in person."
Willis sighed, and renounccd-"if
you must, you must, | presume; and
Il will do my best to serve your
wishes, my dear. Only tell me
"Why, naturally, want to get the
divorce over with as quickly and
quietly as possible, with the mini
mum amount of public scandal"
1.-THE laws of the State of Nevada
are most liberal. But it would be
necessary for you to establish a legal
residence by living there six
months"
Il suppose that's unavoidable"
Il will look up the most reputable
firm of lawyers there, and recon-
mend them to you. If you are in
need of other advice, you need only
write or telegraph, and if the emcr-
gency requires it, | will come cut 70
confer with you"
81 hope l won't have to impose on
your kindness to that extent"
Willis blinked, removed the gold
trimmed pince-nez of his fading day
and polished the lenses with silk
handkerchief.
"And now,' he pursued eff you
don't mind satisfying an inquisitive
old man l would very much like to
know what you propose to do with
your freedom, when you get it,"
Lucinda jumped up and turned
away with ouaver of desolation.
"Ah, l wish you hadn't asked me!
That's what Pm trying all the time
to forget"
81 thought So"
"The emptiness to come!
What can a woman do to round out
her life when she's lost her husband
and is fit for nothing but to be a
wife,"
"She can find another husband.
Many do"
Marry again" A violent move
ment of Lucinda's hands abolished
the thought. Never that! Pm
through with love for good and all"
mo doubt" agreed the student of
law and life. "But are you sure that
love is through with you?"
Willis lcft for New York on late
afternoon train; and when Lucinda
had said goodby to him at the station,
she felt as if she had parted with her
one real friend in all the world
She applied for transportation and
a drawingroom through to Reno
but learned that the winter STAN
pede of California tourists was in
full westward swing. The best the
agent could do was to book Lucinda
through to San Francisco with
section to herself on the California
Limited leaving the next night, ar
ranging for her to return lrou San
Francisco to Reno, a trip of some
eleven hours.

the bellboy was alone. Lucinda took
the bill and counted out the money.
Take those bags, please" she
said, indicating the new dressing
case and the bag which she had
broguht from New York, put them
in taxi at the door, and hold it till
l come down"
Running out in the hall, she
found the stairs and pelted up two
flights. One of the elevators was
rising. 1t stopped two floors below,
then came up in response to her
ring.
Did you let somebody out at my
floor"
Yes, ma'am, gempman."
Take me down, please, without
stopping"
The car dropped with sickening
rapidity, and she stepped out into
the foyer in CONSERVATION when Bel
placed himself before her, blocking
her way to the street.
Her heart checked and raced, she
was oddly at once aghast and elated.
Subconsciously she had wanted to
see Bel, face to face, to see how he
looked, how her flight had affected
him.
Though he seemed to be quite him
self, his face looked thinner, his eyes

Returning to the hotel about five,
she was approaching the elevators
when, midway in the foyer, she
stopped stock still, transfixed by the
sigth of Bellamy standing at the
registry desk, in earnest consulta-
ton with one of the clerks.
Apparently Bellamy had just
learned what he wanted to know
Lucinda recognized the backward
jerk of the head that was an unfail-

saw him turn away from the desk.

The State Fair of 1922
The State Fair was very extensive
in its works this year. AS Montana
was at its best in exhibits there were
prizes awarded to all sections Of the
state.
The exhibits were crowded for lack
of space, caused by the loss of the ex-
hibition building which was destroyed
by fire shortly before fair week.
As usual Cascade county won many
prizes on their exhibits and especially
those from the Belt Valley. Among
the livestock that was present at the
fair was the greatest COW of all the

Damage to grain crops in Montana

Bowman of the board. More than
$4,000 was in partial losses, which

That's the Dollars and Cents Side of the
Local Coal Question.


Right now our mines have orders on file for shipments to
outside points which will require steady operation up until next
spring to fill. If you come for your coal and Hank Jones comes
for his o a day when W e have cars to load, it deprives outside
points of just so much coal this winter, while on the other hand,
if you'll put in your coal now while the weather is yet mild, we
can fill your order ON non-shipping days, get this outside money,
keep you and a number of outsiders warm when the cold weather
does come.
