Gus trip to the city, and returned,
after week spent there, accom-
panied by at least seven trunks and
as many more hat boxes.
Mm-mother," gasped Jenny.
When she had recovered her first
glimpse of the stately, modish, mar
celled stranger, SO utterly unlike her
mother, she managed to gasp few
words of approval, but for some
minutes she could only stare.
Her mother smiled at her with a
family humorous glance, and then
said in a patronizing tone: ooh,
Jeanne, if were you I'd discard
that frock- Those panels aren't be-
ing worn now"
Jenny glanced in dismay at the
smart little afternoon gown of which

ny herself was in a furry of excite
ment. The rooms were all to be re-
furnished; new wings were added
and the grounds were laid out in a
manner wonderful to behold.
AS is so often the case, the result
was wholly incongruous. Every
thing that money could furnish was
there, but the whole effect lacked the
quiet refinement of good taste.
Flashy, bizarre decorations and
ornate furnishings all contrived to
mar the beauty of the one-time sim
pie country home. Even Jenny
sensed that something was lacking.
But the greatest change of all was
in Mrs. Warner. She took a mysteri-

When Luella was %, and still
pretty, her father passed away, con-

Mrs. Warner smiled rather sadly
at her confident husband, for her

square, white house. She had lived
there alone for nearly 40 years; a
familiar figure to the people of the
village. Nearly all called her
queer" They said her heart had
been broken, though no one knew the
story. Lines of sadness had
touched her face; even her sea-blue
eyes held something that limited of
pain and sorrow.
Rumor was that there had been a
sailor lover, who went to far ports,
and in storm his ship had been
lost; but in spite of that Miss Anna
bel still looked for his return. The
shock had affected her mind, they

DEMOCRATS IN
MEET
PERFECT STATE
ORGANIZATION

A sweeping victory for the national
and state democratic tickets in AFi-
zona was foreshadowed early this
week in the unity of spirit and de-
termination evidenced among party
workers as the direct outcome of the
organization and work of the demo-
cratic state committee and the demo-
cratic party council.
With A. A. Johns of Prescott, Sc
lected as state chairman; Writ 6.
Bowman of Nogales, as vice-chairman;
Don C. Babbitt of Phoenix, as secre-
tary, and James l.. Edwards of Yuma,
as treasurer, a working organization
of the highest type of efficiency has
been created-one which augurs well
for democratic success at the polls on
November 4.
Vote the straight democratic tic
ket," is the slogan of the state COM
mittee, fred with dogged determina-
ton to secure the election of every
democratic party nominee from presi-
Dental elector to constable, and to Sc
be the aim of every party worker.
The officers of the state committee
were selected Monday. On Tuesday
the party council was organized with
H. A. Davis as chairman and Leslie
Hardy as secretary. To this organ
ization fell the task of preparing
state platform, and as a result of its
labors document has been presented
which stands as the most forceful and
comprehensive declaration of the prin-
ciples of Arizona democracy ever pre-
pared in the history of Arizona poll
tics.
Many divergent views were held by
party leaders concerning many con-
templated planks Of the platform, but
these views were harmonized and uni
fed in numerous and ardous confer
ences, with the result that the demo-
cratic party Is able today TO present
to the voters clean cut definite
program Of state development, ad-
vancement and economy in continu-
ance OF the generally recognized eff
cient democratic state administration
during the past two years.
Three members of the Navajo ooun-
ty central committee attended the
state convention Monday. They were
DR.. George P. Sampson, chairman of
the county committee, Judge Sidney
Sapp of Holbrook and Ed Sawyer of
Winslow. Sam w. Proctor, Frank
Ellsworth and Frank J. Shumway, the
remaining members of the county com
mittee, were represented by proxy.
