She picked up her gloves, tucked
her little, damp handkerchief into
her handbag, and rose. She had a
feeling that if she stayed moment
longer, she would obey this forceful,
middle-aged man who talked to her
as of she were a small, naughty
child.
After she had gone, Ulysses X
Forgan sat long time at mis- desk,
staring at the chair where she had
sat. 1t seemed still to hold the fig
ure of a pale, slender woman with a
lovely face that was all the lovelier
for its pallor and the look of wcari-
ness in the blue-gray eyes.
Ulysses was not a profane man,
but presently he sworc.
''Well, dammit he said "a beau

himself. 81 don't know when I've

- right off the reel, too
The cold thruth was that in all
his matter-of-fact life, Ulysses never
had "taken to" woman as he had
to May Seymour. He was complete
| ly bowled over by her, but he didn't
know it-yct!
He settled down to his interrupt
ed work, forgetting that he had not
had his lunch.

night at dinner, 'I'm afraid that if

"Well, sell something else then.

She leaned forward, crossed her
arms on the table, and half closed
her eyes.

Then she turned to Gloria with d

Morse to Captain
Hebron Hoop Squad

(Specia! to the Kennebec JournaD
Hebron. Mar. 1S-At a meeting of
the letter men in basketball James
Morse of Rumford was elected to
lead the next years quintet in bas-
ketbal. Although the Rumford lad
is Salutatorian of the Senior class
he finds it necessary to take addi-
tional preparatory work before en-
tering college and although it will
mean another year at prep school
his loss is the Big Green's gain and
at his decision he was hailed as the
new leader by unanimous choice.
Morse was half-back on the champ
grid team last fall and seems in a
fair way to make a berth with Char
lie DIVERS diamond crew this spring.
While not many letter men will be
back to build the team around an
other year there will be host of
this years second string material
which should develop into Varsity
stock with another seasons work.
The letter men due to return are
Pierce, Fraser, Piper and Holmes.

Final Game Friday
Night Between COny
And Lewiston High

The Cony high boys basketball
squad went through it's final practice
period for the season on Wednesday
in preparation for the windup which
takes place Friday night when the
boys meet the Jordan high aggrega-
ton from Lewiston on the local
floor. They made fine showing in
practice and are apparently on edge
for the game in which they hope to
take revenge for a beating, adminis-
tered to them earlier in the season
on the Lewiston court.
The Cony high quintet is going
fine now. having won five straight
from such teams as Bangor, Morse,
Brunswick and Gardiner and the
chances for a win seem good The
players who will appear for Cony are
Clement and Stiles. forwards; Trask.
center; Overlook and Iapidus,
guards. The Cony boys will also
in reserve in case of necessity.
The Bangor lineup will probably
be as follows: Hartling, IT.: Sherratt
or Robbins. rf; Patton, C; Silverman,
lg; Leighton, rg.
The Cony high girls will meet the
Portland high girls on Saturday af-
ternoon here and next week they will
clash with the undefeated Deering
high seXtette. The Portland game
will be played on Saturday as the
Portland school board refuses to
allow the girls to make an overnight
trip although it was hoped that they
could play here on Friday night,
which would have made an especial
ly attractive bill.

Human beings are heirs to all
sorts of ills and vagaries. physical
and mental. A good machine, with
little care, goes on and on, even
in temper and dependable in per-
formance. And in these facts lies
the superiority of a machine-the

The extensive statistical depart

have been achieved without the aid
of some of the machines. And two

office threw himself on a couch.
His mind dwelt upon the work that
was piling up, higher and higher.
Slowly there came into his brain
the idea of machines that would
work with perforations. instead of
letters and figures.
He aroused himself and set
down his rough plans in black and
white. He had no understanding
of the mechanics of the machine.
The first sketch was submitted to
his brother-in-law fortunately a
mechanical engineer. and in due
time the model was made and
found workable.
Under the old order the fastest
clerk could never handle more
than a hundred and twenty-five
cards an hour. The new machine
turned out a thousand in the same
time. That was the perforating

is not necessarily dependent upon the
whims of the weather for the success
of his haying operations.

Then hot air from a furnace is driven
through it by means of q fan or
