CHAPTER XIX

Mary Rose knew that there was no
earthly use in calling her mother
back to the telephone. There was
only one thing to do-to get nome
as fast as she could, to hear what
ever news Of Flossle there was.
y For there must be news of her
and terrible news!-to make her
mother break down and cry like
that!
Mary Rose jumped up and ran
across the big room to the closed door
Of John Manners office. Without
bothering to knock she jerked it open
and threw six words at him: I'm
goingl Won't be back to-day"
A look of angry surprise shot
across his face. She say it, but did
not care. She was glad to make
him angry-to hurt him as he had
Just hurt her with his cold indif-
ference.
1--WE always been too nice to him!
That's been my troubleI' she scolded
herself. HE thought he could pick
me up when he wanted to and bang
me down when he felt like it, and
that l ought to be thankful for it!'
For the first time and only time in
her life. anger for John Manners
flared up in Mary Rose Middleton's
gentle heart. Anger, and something
very like hatred for him, as she
thought of his careless answer when
she told him she was going to leave
the Dexter Company.
She almost forgot her present fear
for the missing Flossie, in that wave
Of fury. But under it ran a calmer,
stronger current Of feeling--her love
for him. Her love that would al
ways be there, no matter what he
did, not matter what she did. no
matter what happened.
He came suddenly to the door of
his Office and without so much as
glancing at Mary Rose, spoke briefly
to Miss Minnick: "Will you please
take down my letters for me, this
morning, Miss Min? Miss Middleton
has the day off,"
And at the very sound Of that deep
voice that she loved, Mary Roses
heart melted and became as water.
Not meaning to, she turned and
looked at him as he stood there, dark
and handsome and scowling.
She wanted to go to him and tell
him that she did not want to leave
the Dexter Company-that she
wanted to stay and work for him
forever and ever and ever. She
wanted to smooth the frown away
from the black, level brows with her

Mary Rose nodded absently. She
was leaning forward, trying to see

such vehicle had brought Flossie

| places in Montana are working a
great hardship to many of the people
living under them. Relief has long
been needed and he who would repre-
sent Montana must show some initial
i've in the correction of this burden.
Good roads, laterals as we'll as trunk
roads, are much to be desired and
every effort should be made to Sc
cure our quota of the Federal appro-
priation for good roads and regula-
lions made governing its expenditure
as will meet our most urgent needs.
Maintenance of public schools is the
greatest question for solution in
Montana today. A place where every
child can equip himself for citizenship.
Since education is the foundation of
good citizenship it seems strange that
we have not had an educational de-
partment in our cabinet given exclus-
lively to the work for the past twenty
years.
Immigration should be restricted
not only for the benfit of our labor
ing men and women, but only those
subject who through years of national
training and tendencies have shown
themselves inherently qualified for cit
izenship in democracy should be adj
mitted. Many other things might be
mentioned and will be later.
1t is only after due consideration
of the great task confronting one who
represents Montana in the Congress Of
the United States that | have decided
to become a candidate for the republi-
can nomination from the Eastern
Montana district at the state primar-
les next August.
At the suggestion and appeal of
many of my former legislative friends
as we'll as requests from many of the

I am ffty-three years of age and

1t has been by privilege to have
served in the Montana state senate for
eight years. In asking the voters of
Eastern Montana for their support I
am willing to stand upon my record
both as a citizen and offceholder.

scented in Congress by one who has

Our farming industry to which the

1t our livestock industry is to con-
tlnue to produce its quota of wool and

should be among the first to demand
such changes.

There are sixteen frames or sep

AS the film passes through the projec-

front of the lens for a fraction of a
second-one Gath of a second if the
film is running through at the usual
rate, which is 80 feet per minute.
A revolving blade in front of the
machine, with three openings cuts off
the light from the screen as each
frame passes down and the next one
takes it's place.
A production such as "The Snob'

quires approximately Is minutes to
