CHAPTER XVI

The Heart Breaking Romance
r lila declared afterward that it
- was fortunate for her that
their errand made Dorothy late for
her appointment with her model.
Dorothy asSented, suppressirg a
sigh. This particular model was
hard to get, and she'd been trying
for several weeks to finish a sketch.
She reflected, with a rueful Shrug,
that being a spinster let one in for
a lot of slavery to ones married
friends.
They 1unched pleasantly in Lila's
own sitting room, in front Of a
cheerful fire.
"It'S so much more cosy" said
Lila, making herself comfortable in
a silk negligee of a luscious peach
shade, bordered with sable. One of
the maids served them, at her order.
I'm beginning to detest Siddons, .
Lila con1ded to Dorothy. There's
something uncanny about the man;
it seems to me that he's all ears
and eyes. I'd ask Herbert to dis
miss him, only Ioathe the type
of wife who's always complaining
about the servants.
They had reached the dessert, and
Lila was preparing the Turkish
coffee, when the door opened with
out warning, and Herbert stood upon
the threshold.
His expression was ominouS.
Lila sprang up with little cry
of greeting, but she felt a sickening
premonition. Something was OBJ
viously wrong.
When Herbert saw Dorothy,
sitting quietly beside the fire, he
seemed to pull himself together.
He made her a stiff little bow.
and murmured a conventional
greeting. Turning to Lila, he said
rather sharply:
when you're at leisure, should
like to talk to you on matter of
great Importance"
eyes, darling!" chirped Lila
brightly, quite as if she weren't in
wardly shaking with fear.
Dorothy rose quickly: II was just
going, Herbert"

Her eyes implored Dorothy; to
Herbert she said:

Crystal Hathaway had no real
plan in mind when she accoSted the
young Mexican farm-laborer at the
Stile between the Jonson and Gray
son farms.
Her only conscious thought was
that here, miraculouSly, was at least
a recognizable version, in the flesh,
of the phantom she had created in
her too-active imagination, to con-
sole her loneliness.
Please, I'm afraid I'm lost" she
began prettily, fluttering her white
hands and her mascaroed eye
laShes. "Can you direct me to the
interurban station? live in STAN
ton, and want to return there"
The young Mexican flushed and
shuff1ed from one foot to another.
Crystal had time to note, unfavor-
ably, his cheap, horribly blue ready
made suit, his bright pink silk shirt,
his bright-blue tie.
But he was good looking, almost
as good looking as the pablo VAL
encio" she had made up.
Isl, Senorita. I do speak Eng
fish good. Cars that way" and the
Mexican boy pointed toward the in
terurban station only fields length
away.
His black eyes, made deep and
romantic by extravaganza lashes,
fisked an apologize glance at her,
as his olive cheeks flushed darkly.
HE admires me; he's thrilled at
my speaking to him." Crystal told
herself, half-ashamed and half
delighted. Aloud, she said, in a
futtering voice, and with one white
hand to her breast, Thanks so
much, and could you tell me just
one thing more? Are there any
vicious bulls in these pastures? 1
know sound silly, but I'm horribly
afraid of bulls
''Uno toro, very tame" the young
man said. "But please, I take you
to--como Sc habla ?-inter- urbano,

so bad toro no scare. ST, senorita2'
Crystal was immensely pleased
and f1attered, though she would
have been ashamed for Cherry, for
instance, to know it.
The two set off together across
the field, the happy hearted Mex
lean boy giving her a very fair
imitation of bullfighter teasing a
bull, when they encountered the
Juno bull, very tame"
What is your name? Or how
do you say it in SPANISH" Crystal
asked when the little box of a
station was looming too near.
The boy smiled, gave her a quick,
shy glance out of those romantic
eyes of his. I'm Spanish it say,
Como Sc Llama?' 70 me Llamo

Not Pablo" Crystal cried. ooh,
this is too much! It's fate looking
out for me-" But her last words
were not meant for Pablo Men
doza'S ears, though he heard them
and looked politely puzzled.
my name is Crystal Hathaway"
she reciprocated, then could have
bitten her tongue out. Cherry
would ask him If he knew her;
Cherry hadn't for minute thought
Nils was joking. But Pablo, there
is one thing beg you to do for
me! Will you please2"
Pablo swept his hat to the ground
in gesture that the hero of Blood
and Sand" might have evied. Sen
orita, for you I do anything"
HE is a darling, and I do be-
lieve he has fallen in love with me
Pablo Mendorza she said earnestly:
please do, not tell anyone, any,
one in the world, that you saw me
or know me.
will you do that for me. Pablo?"
And her large hazel eyes pleaded,
as she stretched out a hand to him.
Isl, senorita. 70 comprendo! But
see you again?-Si?" eagerly.

The parade was headed by George Green as marshal, and, was com- posed Of the American band. Ameri- can Legion, Legion Auxiliary. Span ish War Veterans. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Tabs drum corps. East Ber- lin Community band, school children, school faculty and the Sons Of Vet erans, escorting the two Grand Army men who were able to attend, Henry Colby and Jason Bauer.
 It was an impressive sight as the two aged veterans marched slowly from the cars to the monument which they decorated with several wreaths. It brought to the minds of the people that. the Kensington monument was the first monumen erected in the United States in memory Of those who gave their lives in the Civil war.
 Exercises were held at the manu- ment and in the Congregational church. Dr. Charles A. Dinsmore of Yale gave a stirring address, telling the large gathering of the great things that makes this country the foremost nation in the world. Lud. mil Chotkowski read the "Gettys. burg" address.
 The parade was highly praised by the residents of the town, each dt- vision marching in perfect forma- ton and making wonderful ap. :, pearance. Three state officers rode ahead of the line of march on motorcycles and kept the streets cleared. Both the St. Paul T. A. B. Fife & Drum corps and the East Berlin Community corps appeared in new uniforms and made . striking appearance.
 Dr. Matthew H. Griswold was the general chairman of the Memorial Day committees and much of the praise for the success of the pro- gram must be given to him.
