LOcktite Repairs
Tires and Castings

Locktite dealers throughout the
Bismarck territory are centering
their efforts to make known the I'M,
portance of Locktite as a tire casing
repair.
This campaign is especially inter
esting for the reason that motorists
are being given the simplicity Of the
casing repair story for the first
time.
According to the statement of Mr..
Panzlau in charge Of this campaign
in the Bismarck territory, Car
owners and drivers in the past have
concerned themselves only with the
repairing Of inner tube puncture re-
pairs. They haven't been made to
realize the fact that nails and glass
cuts which puncture the tube, also
seriously damage the tire casing it
self. ss.f,1 Std !,
Rather than take the trouble Of
having such injuries repaired
promptly, as they should be, they let
it go and trust to- luck on the out
come.

and blowouts in tire castings as
easily and quickly as it repairs
tubes; and the automobile supply

that the car owners and drivers here

TAX LEVY FOR
SOLDIER BONUS
WILL DECREASE
Fraser Estimates Only One
fourth Mill Levy Will BE
Needed This Year

Forecasts that only onc-fourth Of
mill tax levy will be needed to com
piete payments under the state sol
dicrs bonus law in 1928 were veri-
fled here today by Adjutant General
&. Az Fraser, administrative officer
charged with the duty Of seeing that
sex-scrvice men get the bonus TO
which they are entitled.
Fraser estimates that the million
dollars to be paid out this year will
meet all but S250,000 Of the bonus
claims filed against the state. On
that basis only one-fourth Of a mill
will be levied for bonus purposes in
1927.
Fraser is not certain Of the amount
which will be needed, bW is hopeful
that his present estimate will be
ample. Final figures will not be
available until July when the law

will go into effect The law provides
that no new claims will be received

the proof required before the claims
are allowed for payment.
Up to May ! of this year $685.
727.ll had been paid out to cxserv-
ice men. The adjutant general now
estimates that the total will be
slightly in excess of S9.O0O,000, GER
tainly not more than S9,500,000. At
one time he estimated that the bonus
would cost the state Sl0,000,00O or
more.
Data on the financial outlook for
the bonus bureau of the adjutant
generals office will be asked by the
state board of equalization next fall
when it prepares to set the state tan
levy. At that time, he said. he will
have accurate data SO that the board
will know how much it will be neccs-
sary to raise for this purpose. His
estimate to the board. he said, will be
sufficiently generous to permit pay

should be paid. A recent opinion OF
the supreme court held that the

courts have no authority over him.

CHAPTER LVIII
Remuneration

Deke stirred in Joys arms and
lifted his hand to touch her face.
This was a dream of course, an
other of those torturing fancies from
which he woke to the realities of
blindness and pain. How soft her
cheek was. And what was this?
Tears? They felt real He could
taste their salty wetness.
His heart began to race. Could it
be, was this a reality? Joyce" he
whispered fearfully, then as though
the words were a talisman, joy
girlr'
I'm here, Deke," she murmured.
Here to stay, to take care of you
Don't send me away, Deke, need
you. need to be near you. I am
starved without you"
Deke pressed her to him with all
his strength. "This is not another
dream?" he asked, touching her hair
running his fingers down her face to
her soft throat.
Its a dream come true, Deke,"
Joyce answered with a quiet happi-
ness in her voice.
They were silent. Joyce, with a
heart full to overlooking of pity for
his helplessness. Deke with the won
der of joys presence.
Shortly he spoke. ''You know,
Joyce he said, you know that l
love you. Not even when Katy
Sherwin sent me that terrible letter.
Oh Joyce, shall never forget. 1t
was the last thing 1 saw before l
went blind. l was in my'laboratory
and when I lighted match to de-
stroy that letter, the chemicals ex-
plpded. Oh, Joyce, if only 1 could
see you, just once, just once again"
Hush" said Joyce softly. You
mustn't get excited, Deke, dear.
You're going to get well, you know.
Deke, can you stand it if 1 tell you
all the truth of that whole horrible
house party?"
1T isn't necessary" Deke said.
att doesn't matter what you have
done. All that matters is that you
are here with me now"
Wonder dawned on joys face.

Think, Deke," Joyce said earnest
ly. Suppose, just suppose. though
l don't believe 1t, that you don't get
your sight back? Who's going to
teach you to be a man again, you'll
have to learn to walk, to read, to
make you way about. Oh, Deke,
that's my privilege. if you don't get
well. You must not deny me the
right to take charge of you,'
Have you forgotten" Deke asked
a new note of bitterness in his voice.
have you forgotten that in addition
to being blind, l am now poor? Judge
Perkins and my father are holding a
postmortem on the business now.
Therell be nothing left when they
are through.
IAN that money that Mrs. Maltby
left me is yours to use as you wish, ="
Joyce said quietly.

groaned. Il can't let you promise
yourself to me, give your money to
me, wait on me like a servant when
l have nothing to give you in re-
turn"
Color famed In Joys cheeks, but
she spoke with steady courage. You
have love to give me. There is no
price to love. If you will have me
for your wife l can have children,
be all that a woman is meant to be.
l am only half alive if you let your
foolish pride stand in the way of our
happiness.
"If l get we'll I'll marry you, I'll

much to let you throw your youth
and beauty away on me, crippled,

Of color burned in his cheeks. Joyce
saw his WEAKNESS and felt contrite.

Deke," she kissed him as she spoke.
"Deke, ! want you to do something"
What is it?" he asked, trying to
speak gruffly, but letting his hands
take her face between them, and
pressing his fingers against her
cheeks.
I've worn this around my neck
on a chain ever since you gave it to
me-" she put the ring in his hands
Now put II here. where it belongs"

what Catherine wrote is true?" she
asked, stroking his hand.
A spasm of pain passed over his
face, but he spoke steadily.
II would want you If you We're
the wife in name and truth Of an
other man. Joyce, / love you. It's
absolute. 1t doesn't matter what
you do, what you have done, / love
you, always"
Joyce laid her cheek on his.
"Deke," she whispered, do you re-
member one time when you told me
about the girl in the story, the girl
whom nothing could harm, because
she was good clear through"
He nodded his head gently and put
his hand on her hair
THE night that Carter had me
there at Oaklands I remembered
that. / made up my mind that If he
kept there q year l could still say
to myself your price is above rubies,
that's what the Bible says of girl
who is virtuous. l knew that per-
haps no one, not even you, would be-
lieve me, but l knew, too. that in my
heart l would always be glad that
nothing Carer said or did, either
frightened me or tempted me away
from the ideals you have of me. I'm
all yours, Deke, whenever you want
me. And I've never been anyone s
else
Deke lifted her head and kissed
her. There were no words for his
happiness. His faith in Joyce had
been indicated. An hour before he
had been utterly Indifferent to the
promise of the doctors that he might
recover. Now it seemed to him that
no pain was too great, no risk too
terrible, to take, that this prize
might be his.
Joyce was speaking. do you
want me. Deke?"
Want you?" he kissed her again.
$50 much" he said, that these
damned doctors can cut me up alive
If it will make me well any quicker"
II don't want to wait until you
are WELL" Joyce said with shy de-
termination.
Deke squeezed her hand. You
darling. But 1 can't let you do that
Joyce. I can't let you go through
life tied to blind man. If l get
through this operation with my
sight restored we'll be married the
first moment you say the word.
Otherwise I'm going to give you up"
Suppose I refuse to be given up"
Dewe made no answer.
Suppose were the one who lay
here injured, would you turn away
from me?"
Deke made sudden motion.
That's different" he said fiercely.

She clasped his fingers around the
fourth finger of her left hand.
Deke kissed her fiercely. Then the
old stubborn look came back into
his face.
Il can't, Joyce" he said.
