at last, on the outskirts of town
of 10000 inhabitants
Carnival routine had already be-
come an old story to Sally; she no
longer minded the curious StareS
of villagers, the crude advances of
dressed up young male "rubes."
The glamour had worn off, but Ill
it's place had come deep content
ment and a sympathetic under
standing, born on that happy Sun
day when the relaxed carnival
family had shown her its heart and
hopes. She was glad to be one of
them, to be earning her living by
giving entertainment and happi-
ness-fake though her crystal-gaz-
ing waS-to thousands of people
whose lives we're blighted with
monotony.
During their first week in the
new territory business was even
better than the Bybees had dared
hope. Positively the only calam-
ity that befell the carnival was the
discovery that Babe, the fat girl,
had lost five pounds. due to her
loudly confessed but unrequited
passion for the carnivals hero,
David Nash.
On Wednesday David was per-
mitted to get up, and that after
noon for the first time he witnessed
Sally's performance as princess
Lalla." She had become so prof.
Gent in her intuitious regarding
those who sought knowledge OF
past, present and future" that his
smiling, amused attentiveness to
her readings" did not embarrass
her.
When the show was over, she
joined him proudly, her little brown
painted hands clinging to his arm,
her face uptilted adoringly to his,
as she battered at his side on a
tour of the midway. 1t was then
that her dreams came true. At last
she was doing the carnival" with a
hoy friend" like other girls. And
David played up magnificently, buy
ing her hot dogs, salt water taffy,
red lemonade-the two Of them
drinking out of twin straWS from
the same glass.
On Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day morning before show time the
two wandered about the village to
which the carnival had journeyed
the night before. 1t was heavenly
to be able to walk the streets I'M
afraid. David walked with head
high, shoulders squared, unafraid
to look any man in the face. and
Sally could have cried with joy that
he was free again, for Bybee had
assured them that there was not
the slightest chance Of eXtraditiOn
on the charges which still stood
against the two in their native
State.
Some day, somehow, the cloud
against them would be lifted, and
David could walk the streets of
Capital City as proudly as he walked
these village streets.

ton SITS, this city, where over 200
people are calling daily. Many of
the men and women are offering
signed statements and photographs,
describing the work of Konjola in
actual cases.
An amazing statement was re-
ceiyed just the other day from Mr..
w. w. Richardson, well-known IN
dianapolis citizen, living at 635 Eddy
ST., telling of the relief he received
through the use of Konjola.
II know what Konjola will do, be-
cause it helped me when had been
belfast for five and half months"
said Mr.. Richardson. II really would
not take a thousand dollars for the
wonderful health now enjoy.
"In the first place, was hurt by
falling plaster, and was told that
my internal organs were injured. 1t
seemed to me that my entire body
was torn loose. I suffered agonieS
from aches and pains throughout
my system. Sometimes the pains
were so unbearable I did not care
what happened to me. Finally, all
this suffering settled in my lower
right limb and it felt as if I were
paralyzed. I was in bed five
months when / was told an opera
ton was the only thing that would
help me. At the hospital I de-
cided not to undergo the knife and
signed my own release. An opera
ton seemed to be the only thing
that would help me-, but I was
hoping against hope that another
way for relief would turn up.
st had been home just a few
days when some one brought a bot
tie of Konjola to the house and
asked me to try it. 1 knew that it
would do me no harm to take this
medicine, and so I started on the
treatment. Before I finished the
second bottle 1 was able to get out
of bed. I could almost feel the heal
ing effect of this medicine every
time I took a dose. There seemed
to be new life in my body, and be-
fore the third bottle was empty I
was out of the house. My internal
organs were functioning properly
and all the soreness was gone. To-
day I can truthfully say that I
hardly realize I ever went through
such awful torture. Hundreds of
people came to see me while I was
still in bed, suffering and unable to
move. Every one of those persons
will verify what I have said about
the relief Konjola gave me.
"AS I said before, I would not
take a thousand dollars for what
Konjola has done for me. am
making this statement hoping that
I might be able to help others who
are suffering. Words can never ex-
press my appreciation for the Won
derful new health I have received
only hope that this statement will
be the means for others to find the
road to new and glorious health"

they could afford to buy all the
necessities and little luxuries which
their emf reed flight from the Car
son farm had deprived them Of
Sally, her little face enchantingly
grave and wise, chose ties and
socks and shirts for David, and al
most forgot to bother about her own
needs. And David, in another part
of the village general store,
bought, blushingly but undauntedly
little pink silk brassieres and silk
jersey Knockers and silk stockings
for the girl he loved. When she saw
them she burst into tears, hugglng
them to her breast as if they were
living, feeling things.
"Why David, darling!" she sobbed
and laughed, 1--WE never before in
all my life had any silk underwear
or a pair of silk stockings! I'm
afraid to wear them for fear I'll
spoil them when I have to wash
them. Oh, the dear things! The
lovely, precious things!"
"And here's something else" Da-
vid said to her that Saturday morn
ing.
They were in the still-deserted
Palace of Wonders, their purchases
spread out on Sally's platform.
Give me your hand and shut
your eyes," David commanded gent
ly, with a throb of excitement in his
voice.
She obeyed, but when she felt a
ring being slipped upon the third
finger of her left hand her eyes
flew open and found sapphire to
match them. For the ring which
David had bought for her was a
plain loop of white gold, with a
deep-blue sapphire in an old-fash-
toned Tiffany mounting, such as
tradition has made sacred to en-
gagement rings.
ooh, David" She laid her hand
against her cheek, pressing the
stone so hard that it left its many
faceted imprint upon her flesh.
Then she had to kiss it and David
had to kiss it-and her.
IT wish it could have been a dia-
mond," David deprecated. Il sup
pose all girls prefer diamond en-
gagement rings. But"
"Oh, David, is it an engagement
ring?" she breathed, then flung her
self upon his breast, her hands
clinging to his shoulders.
"Of course it is, precious idiot"
he laughed. Very gently but in
sistently he forced her, face up
ward, so that their eyes met and
chung. His were boyishly ardent but
solemn, hers were misted over with
tears, but brighter and bluer than
the stone upon her finger. II don't
know when we can be married, Sal
ly, butt wanted you to have n
ring and to know that I'll always
be thinking and planning and-oh,
I can't talk You want to be en-
gagged, don't you, Sally? You love
me-enough?"
Il adore you. love you so that
I feel I am not even half a person
when you're not with me. I couldn't
live without you, David" she said
Solemnly.

CHAPTER XXXV

A s long as she lived, Sally Ford
IN would remember with shame
that for one moment she was
tempted by Arthur Van Horne's
offer to prepare her for a stage
career in New York. She had "play-
acted" all her life; her hearts de-
sire before she had met David had
been to become an actress, and in
that one moment when she knew
that realization of her ambition lay

ing, planning, making love shyly
but ardently, when Gus, the barker
mounted the box outside the tent
and began to ballyhoo for the first
show CT the morning.
eleven o'clock and I'm not in
makeup yet, and you've got to run
the wheel for Eddie today" Sally
cried in dismay, jumping to her
feet and gathering up her scattered
purchases and presents.
AS the day wore on, with show
after show drawing record crowds
for village of its size, princess
Lalla" gazed more often into the
shining blue depths of a small
sapphire than into the magic
depths of her crystal. But per-
haps the sapphire had magic OF
its own, for never had her audi
ences been better pleased, never
had quarters been thrust so thick
and fast upon her.
At half past nine that night Gus
the barker, had not quite finished
his spiel about the Princess Lalla
when the girl, whose eyes had been
fixed trance-like upon her ring,
saw a woman suddenly begin TO
ascend the steps to the platform.
Before her startled eyes had trav-
eled upward to the woman'S face
Sally knew who it was. For twelve
years that big, stiffly corseted, Sc
verely dressed body had been as
familiar to her as her own. In
stinctively, though her blood had
turned instantly to ice water in
her veins, Sally's right hand closed
over her left, to conceal the sap
phire. Thelma had not been per-
mitted to keep even a bit of blue
glass

Herbert Hoover II going to

of Arlington county, as /" Billy
Hooe and Pat McKittrick were
about to swing and jab at
each other before an excited
crowd Of fight lovers in the
Relee Athletic Club s hall in
Arlington Park, Va, last night.
Thus ended an exhibition of the
manly art, much to the astonish'
ment of many Washingtonians who
made the trip "across the River
as members Of the club to see
what they thought would be an
excellent card of fisticuffs.
Cloth Held Responsible
Commonwealth Attorney William
c. Cloth is said to have inspired
the sheriff's actions. which was
taken on the alleged ground that
the Reele Athletic Club had been
selling tickets to nonmembers, in
contravention Of the Virginia box
ing match law.
The real power behind the abrupt
termination of the evenings enter.
tainment. however, is said to have
been the Rev. Deets Pickett, secre.
tary of the board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals Ol
the Methodist Episcopal church, who
convinced the commonwealth attOr.
ney that the exhibition was Illegal
Sheriff Fields said that in men
tiontng Herbert Hoovers name he
had not meant to imply that the
President-elect was opposed TO box
ing matches or that he was in any
way responsible for the action
taken last night.
Audience Displeased
AS boos and cat-calIs from club
members filled the hall, rumors were
heard that Republican leaders in Ar.
lington County had been so cowed by
Methodist officials there since the
presidential election b a t h e y
stopped the bout chiefly because the
Rev. Deets Pickett and his associates
wanted 1t done.
Commonwealth Attorney Cloth is
alleged to have made it clear to the
crowd that he personally was in
favor of policy of noninterference
with the clubs activities, but was
forced to taken action after he had
been approached by the Rev. Mr..

RIP0STO, Sicily Nov 9s--
Five towns and villages burned
up or partially destroyed, four
men and one woman dead, and
|15, 900 homeless was the toll
today from the eruption Of Mt.
Etna, which sent q river OF
molten lava flowing from 100
|fissures toward the Ionian Sea.
Mascali and Cafrabba were de-
'stroyed and other towns are being
evacuated. However, the flow OF
molten lava seemed to be decreasing
this afternoon.
Driving thousands OF homeless be-
fore It. and laying waste to un-
counted acres OF rich farm land in
brought wide ruin.
Streams Destroy Towns
Three main streams of lava
converged at the town of Cara bba
last night and almost totally de-
stroyed the town, which had been
evacuated hours before.
Army engineers were deVistng
plans for diverting the molten
masses from Giarre. a city OF $4,000.
now in the path of the lava. Thou.
sands are working frantically, dig
ging enormous trenches which it Is
hoped will change the course of the
molten streams, so that they will
head for the sea without hitting the
city.
Railway connections between Ca.
tazia and Messina have been sew
cred. AT the outskirts of Carrabba
the lava was flowing at the rate of
only about Is yards an hour, but
the molten rock was IL feet high.
Fed by Open Fissures
1t Is hoped that geographical con-
ditioHs will slow down and possi-
bly, stop the relentless masses.
Scientists, however. make no pre-
dictions in the matter. If the lava
reaches the Ionian Sea, it will be
phenomenon which has not oc-
Cured in two centuries.
The lava streams are being fed
from 100 open fissures in the vol
cano., SO long as these openings
continue to belch forth lava. the
streams will continue to flow be-
cause OF the pressure OF the new
masses erupting from the mountain.
