made Aladdin, Monte Cristo and
Croesus appear like pikers Beyond
this. many things that had been
closed to Smith opened wide to
Smythe. Wealth or notoriety may be
played to great profit. Wealth and
notoriety in partnership are sure
winners.
TN his frugal but hopeful days Smith
i had glimpsed at the horse show
one Of his few dissipations-a woman
whose beauty haunted him constant
ly. A vision Of her-through which.
Of course. he was able to scan the
financial pages, for such visions are
diaphanous-was always in his eyes.
He inquired. She was a grass widow.
And her name was Delberry. In his
heart Smith hoped she might be really
widowed, and that she would be blind
to all mankind until he should come
into his own.
Smythe, in his prosperous Kangaroo
stage, accepted an invitation by Gale
Benham to a week end at tho latter's
country place, assured that the COM
pany would be worth while. The first
person he saw in the reception room
was Mrs. Delberry.
MIS-. Delberry, I'd like you to
know my friend Smythe," said Ben
ham, Mr.. Smythe, Mrs. Delberry."

berry. Are you the Mr.. Smythe

Fish Meal.

EXPERIMENTS with fish meal as
a food for domax>:c animals have
been made abroad, and it has been
found that pigs and cattle eat it with
relish.
In Norway the meal is made from
cod and herring. The Goldfish are
dried first in the air and then in an
oven, and afterward ground INTO
meal. They make a highly nutritious
food. Herring are boiled and placed
under pressure before being ground.
In England and Scotland fish meal
is made from the waste parts of all
kinds of fish. first steamed and then
dried and ground This meal usually
contains from So To 65 per cent Of
albuminoids. to 6 per cent of fats
and from Il to Is per cent of calcium
phosphate.

Smythe, how 1 appreciate this privi-

Come" said she, taking his arm
and moving toward a corner, land

It's SO romantic!"
Smythe was elated. He explained
that tenderfoot named Bradford had
found the great values in the mine
after wildcatters had exploited a
volume of stock on what was sup
posed to be worthless territory.
why, the stock is fifty times par!
exclaimed Mrs. Delberry.
It's quoted at ffty-two today
said Smythe, with a grin.
Mrs. Delberry took charge OF him.
They sat together at dinner danced
in the evening, and went out into the
moonlight. Smythe, though he wasn't
keen for the sport. promised to ride
with her in the morning. Benham
had crack stable, and she was a
famous horsewoman.
They rode. Mrs. Delberry took a
fence and Smythe tried to follow. He
was thrown and sustained a COLES
fracture.
Every good week end entertainer
anticipates emergencies. One of Ben
hams guests was noted surgeon.
Smythe was prevailed upon to remain
In the country until his fracture knit.
Mrs, Delberry had to return to the
city, but promised to come back at
the next week end. She came in to
bid Smythe goodbye and he proposed
to her.

BOBBY JONES
GOLF WINNER

New York. July 1.-THE Purple
mantle of American open golf rests
today upon the youthful but stocky
shoulders of Bobby Jones, brilliant
Atlanta stylist. He scaled the
heights he has been threatening to
climb for several years by van
gushing Bobby Cruikshank, dim
1nutive Scotch professional, by two
strokes in the play off of the 9th
national championship at the In
wood Golf Club on Long Island.
But Jones did not capture the
most coveted of American links
prizes without struggle. After
seeing Cruikshank tying his ~
hole score of 296 on Saturday. thus
necessitating a play off, the Geor-
9ia wizard was forced to call on all
his shot making greatness to down
the sturdy Scotchman.

.ot wheat again broke the seasons
fow-price record with Septembe:
touching 95A cents. Pressure of

September SO to 96A and Decem-
Der 99M to 99% were followed by
a slight further setback and then
by a rally to little above yester-

Subsequently the market dis
played relative firmness owing to
some renewal of talk about likeli-
hood OF damage from black rust in
the Northwest together with the
fact that offerings of wheat to ar
