CHAPTER VIII
Bad News for Christie.

No further attempt was made on
the store, and while her father was
getting well, Christie acted as man.
ager. Haynes, having partly acquitted
himself of evil intent, started his auc-
ton sales again, and business went
on. But one day Haynes called on
Selwood to say his own stock Of

state him at the hall. And. on prom
Use of good behavior, Selwood told
him when his goods were sold he
would give him another chance.
Christie, meantime, walked on air.
To herself she scarcely concealed
her interest in SelwoOd. Indeed, she
found herself sensitive after few
days because SelwoOd did not call
oftener. Yet some remembrance Of
their last talk was pleasant in her
heart-some thought of confidence
in her worth expressed by the only
man in her new and strange sur
roundings whom she felt sure she
might trust.
Starbuck came in one day especial
ly to tell her that he had learned all
the circumstances of the row between
her father and his partners, and
thought if her father would figure
out his damages, when he was well
enough to do so, he. Starbuck, would
see that Atkins paid "And, Christie"
he added, in earnest of his intentions,
"tell your father not to be modest
about fixing the amount. Atkins Is a
bad egg-that's the truth of 1t. l

the peace here and 1 get along with
everybody. But your father ought
never to have had anything to do with
a man like that"
He made no reference whatever to
the unpleasant alternative he had of
fered before and seemed to wish 1t
lost sight of; for he showed now only
an interest in seeing what appeared
clearly a wrong properly righted.
Fyler accepted the olive branch.
Christie received Starbuck's overtures
coldly. A man may be fooled more
than once; but a woman, provided
her affections are not involved, Is not
easily deceived the second time by a
man she has once distrusted Christie
was just enough afraid of the man
to treat him civilly; but she threw
into her talk with him little carping
bits that kept Starbuck trritated
though they did not cool his ardor.

Less than that much of firebrand
would have sent Selwood's good reso-
lutions to keep away from Christie
Fyler up In smoke. What hef ought
to do and what he wanted to do
were as far apart as the North pole
and the Southland in the clash OF
opinions the South pole won.

Selwood walked down street quite
unconscious of the corner talk behind
him. But he felt cheated out of his
visit and, feeling that he had a per-
fectly good excuse, made occasion to
walk around by FLYERS an hour later.
This time. he found Christie alone
and behind the counter in the front
of the store.
Her face lighted when she saw him
coming up the steps. She had evident
ly been at work among the goods and
was still busy. Her face, already
flushed, seemed to deepen In color
under his gaze, and the slight disor.

would. Selwood gave no intimation
that he was aware of his presence.
Christie, struggling apparently with
some sort of suppressed feeling, hest
tated. She forgot to return Selwood's
greeting. Then, looking at him as If
she would look clear through him,
the question pressing for answer
burst from her lips. Are you a gam
bler?" she asked bluntly. The words
were loud and clear. Even Haynes
heard them. He looked surprised
across the counter and saw Christie
confronting SelwOod with appealing
eyes.

 Tt is obvious now what the marines have been doing" he said. They have been driving the Sandino forces northward directly into the rich mining districts, instead of com- ing from the north themselves and barring Sandino from entering such valuable property. There are three rich mines between La Luz and Bo- EanZa alone, the Concordia. Con- stancia and Fl Dredo, and it is not at all unlikely that Sandino has also captured them. He can easily work northward now and escape into Honduras with an absolutely clear field in front Of him."
 The La Luz mine has been oper- ated by the Fletcher family for the last 2o years. It is a very rich de- posit. producing an average Of sS0.- GOO gold bullion each month. If Sandino should wreck the mine ma chinery, the owners said, he would put the mine out of business for a year and 8 half and cause an inl- mense financial loss.

\ meeting of a committee to ar range for the annual banquet and reunion of Company l. 10ond Inf, has been called by Captain John R. Feegal of Meriden for tomorrow afternoon at ::30 o'clock at head quarters of Eddy-Glover post, Ameri- can Legion. Captain Feegel was elected president of the Company l. lo2nd Infantry association at the last annual banquet when the or ganization was formed. The reun- ion is held alternately each year in Meriden and New Britain on or about April 20. the anniversary Of the battle Of Seicheprey. Company l was formed from the two com pan- ies of the same letter in the First and Second Regiments of the Con- recticht National Guard Members Of the company in the first regiment were enlisted from New Britain and vicinity while members of the com pany in the second regiment were recruited from Meridcn and it's en- NironS.
 After serving as separate units in guard duty at various points throughout the state during the early spring and summer of 1917, the two regiments were amalgamated into the 1o2nd Regiment Of the e6th Di- vision. This took place at Yale field in New Haven on August 3, 1917.
 The company as a part of the Yankee Division regiment left for France via Montreal, Canada. on September fl, 1917 and after train ing ln France. entered the lines in the Chemin des Danes sector on February |, 1918. From there it was transferred 10 the Foul sector and then it relieved the Second Division which included the two marine bri- gades, before Seicheprcy. On July IS, the company was a part of the first wave in the drive to send the Germans back.
 The company was a first line unit in the smashing of the St. Mihiel salient on September 10 and took part in the initial drive to rid Yer dun of the enemy. IL ended the war amid intense action in the Argonno forest. The division was afterwards selected to become a part of the army Of occupation but so many cases of influenza, and the ranks of the companies were so depleted that. on the march towards the Rhine, or lers were received sending it into a rest camp. The company returned to this country in April, 1919.

 Commissioner Baldwin sent sum monses to both addresses in belief that one McNerney had given two.
 He was surprised when two Me Nerneys answered and both were Paul Joseph.
 Mir. Baldwin directed the South Norwalk man to sign his name on future applications as Paul J. and the Stamford man as Paul Joseph.

200 BOXERS ARE
 SUSPENDED TODAY
Only 50 or 50 Amateurs Will
 Remain in Good Standing

New Haven. March 80 R-An- nouncement of suspension of some gaU boxers in the state was made tN Joseph Wir,z. chairman of the J. sis'ration board of the \. A. L.. this afternoon. He said in part:
 The A. \. l.. officials on the strength of the statements made under oath at the Bridgeport hear ing into the death of Horace Aliff, have assumed that every boxer who performed at the Red Mems shows and at the Elks' club were paid and accordingly We are checking over the lists to find out what boxers ap- paared in the Park City at the clubs in question. The list is not yet com- picte, but the way things shape up now there will be but 30 or GO ama- teur boxers in good standing when everything is to be checked over.'
 Wirtz said that boxers who had | part in the Red Mems and Elks bouts at Bridgeport would be given temporary suspension and could present within 80 days evidence that they nlI 1lut accept Hiotit! loi services.
 Louis McAvery of Port Chester. member of the registration board who was here last night said that all sanctions for shows would be sus- pended for the present. He added: "Our work at the present time seems 10 lie in Bridgeport and with the loXcrs who have appeared there on cards but the impression has been created at national headquarters that the practice Of paying boys ob tains all over Connecticut. This, I believe is not true, but in the pres .nt case the innocent must suffer with the guilty.
