many others who found themselves
suddenly possessed with the ways and
means OF satisfying their every de-

such a manner as to increase instead

Returning, he took up the thread
of life again where he had dropped it
at his country's call. He had a suite
OF rooms in select family hotel
which was quite unknown. That was
why New York's fashionable Four
Hundred had not heard of him, to
drag him headlong into society. and
the spread nets of mammas with mar
I-iageable daughters.
Col. Vail was brought into contact
with him through a business trans
action, and was so pleased with the
we'll bred, unassuming young million
aire that he invited him out to his
home for a Sunday dinner. The willy
old gentleman did not mention he had
an unusually handsome daughter. Had
he done so Jay Smith would most as
suredly have declined. Women had
little attraction for him: for that rea-
son he kept away from them-they
did not interest him.
The colonel had been equally clever
in not mentioning to Clairena that an

dine with them. In the course Of his
onhand remarks she was given to un-
derstand the expected visitor was

no particular importance
Clairena was much surprised when
she met Jay Smith. The surprise was
mutual. Never before had he been
brought into contact with so charm
ing young lady. He had no idea as
to what she wore. He had an indis-
tinct recollection of a cloud of pink
tulle, like the heart of a flower, a face
fair as a painted picture, red lips, vio-
let eyes and bronZe-gold hair and
beautiful little hands, soft and white
as lily leaves, among the dainty china
cups. He never remembered what he
ate. or the taste Of the viands-if he
had partaken of but a few mouthfuls
or goodly part of the excellent din
ner. Later in the drawing room, she
had played on the harp and sung for
him. BY the time the evening was
over he knew he had at last met a
young lady whom he Ionged to see
again. The home picture captivated
him-set him thinking, longing.
1t was a great surprise to him to
learn that his college chum, Edward
1'horne. was visitor there. He
had never heard him mention know
ing this attractive young girl Evil

heart of a young man love is not
a plant of slow growth. With each
visit he became the more enamored
of the coloners daughter.
1t ended as all wholesome ro-
mances should. the offering of his
heart and hand to Clairena. He
was so confused on that ausp'cious
occasion he. never afterward really
remembered whether 1t was Clairena
or her father who accepted him. 1t
was not until he beheld his be-
trothal ring shining upon her white
hand that he was at all sure they
were actually to marry. To him
the days that followed were the most
blissful he had ever known.
AS to that engagement ring, he
could not help but smile at the odd
recollection that clustered about it..
For days he had been living in the
blissful dream of kissing his sweet
hearts lips for the first time as he
placed the magnificent engagement
ring-the priceless ruby-upon her
finger To his CONSERVATION, the old
gentleman had remained In the room
the entire evening, helping Clairena
entertain him, as 1T were. To his
Iconsternation. the colonel accompanied
them out on the porch when he arose
to take his leave. He wondered if
this was the usual thing for fathers
to do. but supposed 1t must be.
He deliberated earnestly with him
self as to whether it would be
justifiable to take 1t away with him,
awaiting a more auspicuous occasion.

Thorne stood immovable. watching
Clairena intently. He knew there was
no gainsaying the fact that he should
have been on his way, but he was a
desperate mamie determined not to
be thwarted from the purpose he
had in mind if it lay within human
power, or strategy, rather.

As they reached the drawing room
the colonel noted the extreme pallor
of her face. which worried him. 1t
was not much of a surprise to him
when she turned abruptly. asking:

much amiSs to have talked with him

replied the colonel. stroking her hair
with one hand and holding her fast
with the other. as though he feared
she might break away from him and
run back into the grounds. There is
nothing 50 particular that he could
have to say to you that it will not
keep until some other time.

As Clairena crossed the room he set

anxious to have the wedding day roll
around. and give his treasure into the
keeping of so worthy a young man.
Clairena played the harp as few

Kearns And Dempsey Will Be Liable If Bout Falls Through

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 2S Growing resentment Of Montana pri- Fate citizens and public officials at the humiliation facing them because Of the tremendous demands of Jack. Dempsey to fight in Shelby, brought two significant developments Thurs day:
 l. Attorney General Rankin, at Helena, indicated that Dempsey and Jack hearns would run afoul of the law, should the fight not occur by reason of Dempseys refusal and ticket buyers not be refunded in full.
 ?. Johnny O'Neill, son of the Los Angeles il and cattle baron, who has been combing Great Falls and north ern Montana for the last S10O.OO0 in stallment needed to meet the cCn- tract figure imposed by Dempsey. declared he was being rebuffed on all sides. His father, he added, would not invest dollar in the fight If you gave us both fighters, the movies, the arena and the gate re- ceipts."
 So with the show taking on the appearance of something needing an undertaken, with the date of the fight almost at hand and with pub lie confidence believed here to have shattered interest centered in the attitude of certain state officials.
 o O O
 Two Jacks Liable.
 Declaring that Dempsey was hold ing out for the last dollar of an un- conscionable bargain" Attorney Gen eral Rankin said that neither the champion nor Kearns, his manager can sit idly by knL wing that tickets are being sold, without rendering Themselves cuplab1e under our laws, unless every dollar is refunded to purchasers of tickets in the event the contest does not take place by reason of Dempseys refusal"
 He indicated that the laws in ques- tion were those governing the ob- taining of money under false pre- lenses.
 Kearns wasn't excited over the at torney generals statement and merely replied:
 That guy ought to do something about cleaning up the coke fiends in this state. He's Just looking for cheap notoriety."
 The zeal of young ONeil and ether interested citizens in putting the thing over now is largely due to the feeling that lasting humiliation will be visited upon the state if its sporting venture turns out to be the most colossal flop in the history of ton. Furthermore, they feel that failure will cast a reflection upon the financial condition of the state.
