quarter ended Il to 10.

through the last quarter and the game
ended with Billings holding a two

In her second game Carbon came
back to give Fromberg a trouncing

points. Ross led for Fromberg with
5 points. Elliot was referee.

game against that of 6 made by

would ever make Manon unhappy or
rause him to fall in her estimation as
a man and provider.
! The only means at hand was Fa-
bien to draw on his father and he die
it with a heavy hand because he knew
that after his parent had been notified
second call for funds would be re-
fused.
To satisfy Manon's love for pleasure
it seemed important that they should
reside in Paris. She found a beauti-
full place that she wanted, consequent
ly Faben took it and they established
themselves in gorgeous style with ut
ter regard for expense; nor did they
take time from love making to think
where more money would come from
when their dwindling supply was ex-
hausted.
They were enjoying a dream, and
money never matters in dreams; so
why should they have worried? Be-
sides, all dreams end soon enough 1t
is stupid to attempt to control, just
give ourself up completely to the tenn
porary oblivion and make the best of
the rude awakening.
The flying weeks added new ra-
dance to love. Manon grew so sweet
in her unceasing attentions to Fabien
that he felt fully rewarded for his past
troubles and changed plans. Her pas
sion for jewelry and beautiful gowns
went hand in hand with her love for
amusement and she soon discovered
that Fabien gratified every whim.
Smart new friends became frequent
visitors at the Des Greux household
1t happened that many of the same
people who witnessed the dramatic
scene between Fabien and Manon at
| the Gambling Club, annexed them
selves to the hosts of friends and adj
mirers. Strangely enough, one of
the most faithful from this group was
Mana. 1t may have been because
she found Manon's salon the best
place in Paris to meet interesting
men, but we will give her credit for
flare Of real friendship and and for
good measure that she no longer
treasured a grhdge against Fabien-
instead she openly admired him and
would have given her soul to hold the
place in his affections that Manon oc-
cupied She openly and secretly,
when occasion permitted angled for
his attention and her efforts were so
untiring that Fabien often had to
make excuses to get away from her.
Manon's boudoir was lovely beyond
compare Panelled walls of soft rose
colored satin matched the exquisite
hangings. All of her toilet articles
were Of crystal and gold, a gift from
Fabien that made her lavish caresses
on him for whole hour. Abundant
payment.
The bed was charming, but not more
so than its occupant as the brightness
from the midday sun filtered through
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1928-03-01

Fabien had not had moments doubt
about the wisdom Of again relinquish-
ing his vows for her.
They agreed that their present and
future happiness was secure beyond
the reach of Fate or the interference
of man; and so with one arm about
Manon's slim shoulders Fabien led her
out into the world
Where? They neither knew nor
cared Just what awaited them did not
matter so long as they had each other
Love with all its resulting pleas
ures is wonderful thing, but unfor-
tunately cannot be enjoyed for very
long without enough money to insure
food and shelter.
Fabien's hasty and unprecedented
departure from st. Sulpice did not
leave time to think Of money, and
when he wanted to return for his purse
Manon would not consider it, She
feared complications and dreaded the
thought Of losing him again even for
a moment. Anyway, the content of
the purse would not have lasted long,
for Fabien demanded nothing in the
way of worldly goods while at st. Sui
pice, and naturally his finances were
never large. Now, however, money
was as essential to their future as the
food their bodies required.
Manon had salyaged enough from
the odious but profitable days with
the Comte De Ravoir to take care of
them for some time. OF course she
offered it Immediately as a solution
to their problem and was surprised
when Fabien rebelled at the abhorent
idea.
1t took only little explaining on
Fabien's part to make her under
stand why they could not exist on the
Comte's past generosity. Manon ac-
coded to his wishes very graciously;
IN fact, nothing mattered now that
they were together with the past all
explained and buried away. She as
signed herself unresignedly to Fa-
bien's care and instinctively knew that
in some way he would provide every
Thing hher heart desired.
Fabien was even more sure of this
than Manon. He had lost her once be-
cause he was so absorbed in dreams of
love that he ignored the material.
Now he planned to provide for her
even more lavishly than had the
Comte, so that no odious comparison

Many Structures Un-
der Way in Beautiful
Addition to City; To
Close Boulevard Gap

Although the growth of Los
Ebanos. B-ownsville's newest re-
stricted residential district. has
been phenomenal il is to receive
added impulse with the paving of
that short strip on Palm boulevard
between the entrance TO the addi-
tion and jefferson street.
This work is to be done within
the rear future. the city commission
having passed an ordinance 20 that
effect AZ a recent meeting Of that
organization.
It was only a comparatively short
time ago when the district, now
known as Los Ebanos. was only a
thicket Of huisache. mesquite and
cactus. "a desolate stretch that gave
no promise Of better things TO come.
This particular stretch Of prop
erty has now been touched By the
hand Of progress and what was lit
tie more than a barren waste has
been turned into one of the city's
most beautiful residential section.
Streets in the addition have been
laid out and paved ard beautiful
residences have begun to appear
here and there within its confines
and as a last link in assuring its
continued progress. the gap in Palm
boulevard is 10 be paved.
During the past few months,
building has been unusually active
in Brownsville and the majority of
IL. that part that has caused the
general average 10 mount. has been
dne and Is now being done in Los
Ebanos.
In August alone over $4,000 in
building permits were taken out,
according to George Hillyer. city
building inspector. and the major
ity Of this amount is being used
in the construction If homes in
Los Ebanos.
The principal permits granted
during the month were for the con-
struction Of the $4,000 annex to
the First National Bank and the
j. s. Sweeney apartment building
which is to cost $l2.5O0.

VALLEY GINS
$4,000 BALES
Total for Season Will
Run, Close To
10000

Ginnings for tht entire Valley UP
10 Saturday night were $4,000 bales,
according co an estimate by II. r.
Boyd of San Benito. manager Of the
Valley Gin company.
Ginning has slowed down In all
parts Of the Valley the past week.
Boyd reported, estimating that the
gins turned out an average Of 600
bales per day the past week, a. COM
pared with 1000 bales daily the pre-
vious week, and 1000 daily the week
before.
Relative to the second crop, Mr..
Boyd estimated that insects have
damaged 1t at least 50 per cent in
many parts of the Valley, though it
is probable that farmers who have
watered, cultivated and poisoned
their fields will secure a fairly prof
liable return, he said.
