a gesture she held sacredly her own.

"Her life has been sad" In sub

was a great tragedy about it. A wo-

way some lives work out,

He smiled and moved his fingers so
that they touched her hand. "Some

And Nora Lee answered: But

OLD GAYETY.


In five years they had met only
three or four times-seldom for more
than a brief word or hasty nod. She
was surprised TO find the old, flirta'
tious spirit rekindling the old capric'
ious gayety touching her thought.
Music floated to them from the
flower filled patio; candles CLEANED
on a service Of gold; pink cyclamen
and lilies of the valley fluttered deli
cately in the center OF the table.
Voices chimed and now and then
ripple OF laughter and the rumbllng
bass of Macklin's tones.
Nora Lee, radiantly conscious of
fitting in beautifully with the scene.

cadence Of Max's voice.

Max said lazily: "Exquisitely done.

She tried TO embroil him in argument /;
to impress him with her dazzling

Automobile Ran Into
Window of the Cullen
Music Store Friday

The marble base and the window
of the Cullen Music Company store
were damaged on Friday morning of
last week when 1t is believed the
wind blew a Buick, which was stand
ing in front of the store, over the
sidewalk and into the window.
The gutter in front OF the store
is filled within about four inches
of the top of the sidewalk with
dirt and ice. Miss Clara Kapple,
who had been driving the Buick,
parked 1t a short distance from the
curbing and was in another store
shopping. 1t is also believed that
the brakes on the auto were not set
tightly. thus when a hard gust of
wind came along the car was start
ed and 1t jumped the sidewalk and
ran into the front Of the building.
The marble slab at the base of the
window was struck by the front
wheel of the car. The slab was
cracked and pushed in several inches
and the window was cracked. The
automobile was not damaged.

DINNER PARTY
AT ELk'S HOME
SATURDAY LAST

The dining room of the Elk's
Home was the scene of one OF the
gayest and most appreciated dinner
parties that has been given by any
host in Rawlins for several months.
Last Saturday afternoon about $50
children assembled at the home and
partook of the hospitality offered
by the Social and Welfare committee
of the Elk's Lodge. Several business
men in this city, members of the
order, donated food to the party and
they were more than we'll paid by
watching the expressions of joy and
enthusiasm of these small tots as
the plates Of food which included
meat. potatoes, gravy, rolls, ice
cream, cake and cups Of milk were
placed before them. Each child
ate his fill and the thanks were
written on their faces as they left
the tables.
The dinner was given to the chill
dren who were less fortunate than
others in the city, however, the guest
list included children from all stages
in life, all colors and in several in
stances all ages. The first setting
Of the tables fed about 1875 children
Gnu az tuC ScCohu ocllihS Inc places
were all but filled again.
During the serving of the food
two men on Hawaiian guitars play
ed for the children and their enjoy
ment of this feature was expressed
in the loud applause at the end of
each selection.
Too much credit and thanks can
not be given to the order, the men
who donated food to the party and
to the persons who served the food.
Such acts of philanthropy and kind
ness go a long ways toward making
Rawlins and the world a better place
in which to live.

EXCHANGE NORMAL
 UNDER DAWES PLAN
Marked Improvement in Foreign Markets Attributed to Report

New York, Jan, 9.---The marked improvement in foreign exchanges thls year was generally construed by bankers as a reflection of the pro- gress made by the economic reha- bilitation of Europe through the adoption of the Dawes plan.
 Three European currencies, Swel- ish crowns, Swiss francs and Dutch guilders, returned 10 parity and were occasionally quoted at small premium, Tho Canadian dollar also was quoted at premium for the first time since 1922.
 Sterling exchange, which had been quoted as low as $42i's last Janu- arT rose above $40 this month to within q couple Of cents of the peak prlcc established in the winter of 1922.25, which was the nearest ap- preach 10 parity since the war. The final stage of this advance, coming at a time when the normal course of exchange k downward, due to un- usually heavy grain and cotton ship ments, represented the return of British capital, which had migrated 10 America when the labor govern ment came into power in England through tear of adverse legislation on moneyed capital, and during the numerous crises that developed over the separations problem, prior to the adoption of the Dawes report. Shift ing of funds from New York 10 Lon don to take advantage of the higher interest rates in the British capital also was factor in the advance.
 >nch eYchnge, which touched G,42 c"l~ in March, the lowest price in recent hE>%ry, rallied to 6.S5 cents in the nc few weeks, fol- lowing the announcement that ]. P. Morgan & Co. had placed a ere ,!t Of st0o,o0o0tO at the disposal of the Bank of France in order to permit it to combat the offensive against the franc. which had been launched by speculative interests, taking advan iDET pl ' ! dIlNF . Nullltl a DlE lllldIlIiil position. So rapid was the advance in this currency that the Bank of France found it necessary to sell francs and go short of it's own cur- rency in5order to prevent the disrup- ton of French export business. To- wards the close of the year the rate seemed stabilized between 5 IA and 5ia cents.
 The only important new coin 10 make it's appearance in international trading was the Polish zloty quoted around 19 Is cents. Germany has adopted a new coin known as the reichsmark for domestic purposes, but local dealers continued to quote the old paper marks, which were stabilized at 23 4-5 cents a trillion, although there was little actual busi- ness in that currency, the bulk of the business with Germany being done in dollars. sterling.

ENGLISH LAND JAW IS MORE COMPLEX
Confusing Chapter Is Embodied
 in the New Birkhenhead Act

London, Jan, 9,--The land law of England entered upon new and, what many claim to be, m even more confusing chapter. when the Birkenhead act of 1922 became op- erative on Jan. 1, 1925.
 Lord Birkenheads act is one of tho longest statutes that has ever passed through parliament, and the lawyers say that its full meaning will not be clear for at least 100 years. The chief aims of the act are three; To destroy the unncces- sary legal differences between land and movable goods: to make doaI- ings with land simpler and safer, and to make all land available for sale or disposal at any time.
