cHApTER XXXVII

Mary Rose tore open the enVelope
and spread out the thick, cracking
sheet of paper that was in 1t.
..My dear Miss Middleton" the
letter began, 81 enjoyed you so much
the first time you cam to read 10
me-
So the letter was from John Man
Aners, mother. She wondered If he
knew that she had written it. She
hoped he did.
s.I enjoyed you so much the first
time you came to read to me that
am writing to ask If you Will come
again." Mary Rose went on with 1t.
How will next Wednesday night
be? Johnny will be very glad to
bring you. I know, and If you will
come for dinner, 1 shall make a
special. effort to be downstairs that
night. Sometimes they carry me
down in my chair. Cordially yours,
s.AMELIA MANNERS"
Mary Rose looked at the closed
door of John Manners office. She
wondered If he were in it now, and
If she ought to go in and show him
the letter.
She Ihalf-rose and then dropped
back in her chair, as she remem-
bered how cold and detached he had
seemed to her that morning. He had
seemed actually angry with her.
"But perhaps he was just upset
about something that had to do with
his iob.'' she told herself, and got
up and went into his office. He was
not there.
"If you're looking for Manners,
he's gone for the day." Miss Minn1ck
told her. II took his dictation from
him." a
Her look and her tones@were freez-
ing. She frightened her lips primly
and went on typewriting as if she
didn't care to have any further con-
versation with Mary Rose.
IT don't care to have anything
more to do with YOU" her attitude
said as plainly as words could have
said il. You may run around with
Hilary Dexter all you like, but you
forfeit my friendship if you do!''
For a moment Mary Rose felt a
strong impulse to tell her the rights
of the matter-how it had not been
She but Flossie who had reused the
righteous anger of Hilary Dexter S
wife.
She liked Miss Minnick, and she
hated to let her think that she was
the kind of girl who would run
around with a married man. But
she also hated to let her think that
Flossie was the kind of a girl-and,
as it was, Flossie had none too good
reputation in the office.
.I'll make sure that John Man
ners has heard the story, first, she
made up her mind at last, IF he's
heard it, I'll have to tell him the
truth about it. couldn't have him
bear to think that I'd give Hilary
Dexter second look. 1 couldn t
let him think I was cheat"
For the rest of the office didn'
really matter so much, did they?
After all, what difference did it make
what they thought about her? And
yet Mary Rose knew that it did
make a difference, and a big diff
ference. No one wants to be
thought badly of. Especially a
woman, who knows that a good
reputation is worth its weight in
platinum!
With sigh Mary Rose threw a
regretful sidewise look at Miss Min,
hicks naughty face, tucked Flossie'

Young Man Drowned Near
Richmond Last Evening
Bathing Party of Three in Sank
River Results Fatally to Beda
Willenbring, FL Years Old

Wednesday evening the citizens of
Richmond and community were thrown
into confusion as word was passed
among them telling of the tragic death
by drowning of Beda Willenbring, Fl
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Willenbring, retired farmers residing
in Richmond. -
The young man in company with
two or three companions motored to
their old swimming hole in Sank River
which is located few miles west of
Richmond. Willenbring who was not
a good swimmer proceeded to the
springboard and dove into about 10
feet of water; coming to the surface
he called for help and went down.
Ray Ries, one of his companions went
in after him, when young Willenbring
came up the second time he grabbed
Ries around the neck which handi-
capped, and nearly cost Ries his life.
Richard Moening the other member
Of the party then attempted the res
cue while Ries looked after himself
Moening grabbed Willenbring by the
hair but the current was so strong
he could not hold on and so Willen-
bring wen down. The boys being un-
able to locate the body sent in the
alarm which brought large numbers
to the scene Of the tragedy. The body
was recovered about half mile down
stream two hours later.

become charged in some manner.

and single. He was well known in
Todd county. He was an ex-service
man. The funeral was held from the

NEW OPTICAL EQUIPMENT

G. H. Vandesteeg has completed
the installation of a new and up to
date optical chair. The seat and
back and also the arms are finished
in brown leather upholstery. 1t is
adjustable to any position up or
down, backward or forward and also
can be rotated. There is also an
adjustable head rest finished in brown
leather upholstery which levels the
head in the desired position for optical
work. The other equipment of the
chair is the adjustable horometor a
combination of rotary lenses and
prisms. With this rhorometor $50
different powers of lens can be OBJ
tanned by rotation of one disc of
lenses. The adjustable rotary prisms
are a distinct advantage over the old
method of determining the exact
muscle power of each eye as this max
imum muscle power can be approach
ed by steady degrees instead of by
jerks as before, thereby lessening the
fatigue on the eye muscles to mimi
mum.
After proper lens adjustment is
made and the exact power OF each
eve is determined, the proper lenses
are selected from the large quantity
of blank lenses carried in stock by the
establishment at all times. The lens
es are ground and fitted to each in-s
dividual case at the optical rooms
and thus no time is lost in shipment.

FORD AND DODGE COLLIDE

On Monday evening at about seven
o'clock a Ford Sedan entering the
Fairy Lake picnic grounds going
around the blind corner at the west
end of the grounds collided with a
Dodge sedan leaving the grounds by
the same way. The Ford sedan was
more seriously damaged than the
Dodge, as both front tenders were
bent down against the wheels, the
front spring was broken and the
wish bone bent nearly to the ground.
The Dodge escaped with a bent left
fender and famed bumper. The traf-
fic to the picnic grounds is very
heavy throughout the summer months
and drivers upon entering the grounds
should exercise extreme caution at
this particular corner by sounding
their horns and driving very slow.
Better still get the habit of using the
first or right hand entrance to the
grounds and use the corner only for
exit.
