her and her family.

she asked herself, feeling as if the
bottom had fallen ou+ of her little
world. There's not a thing that

Out in the back room Mrs. Nav

around her waist, and was stacking
the soiled dishes in a tin dishpan.

girl a tea fowl. Maybe we'll feel

There came the tinkle of the bell
in the front of the shop, and then
the sound of the door slamming.

berry. You go, Chatty . I'm all

her two hats, if you can"
The customer was standing in the
middle of the shop, looking around
the pretty gray and rose room from
behind a pair of nose glasses. She
was tall and thin and middle aged.
and she wore a rain-soaked brown
hat that looked like a burned pan
cake soaked in syrup.
Chatty walked up to her, smiling
pleasantly.
Something in a spring hat?" she
asked, in her very best saleswoman
voice.
Before the woman had time to
say Yes" or NO she went n
Your hair isn't bobbed, is it?
So you'll need a fairly big head
size, won't you?" And she began
to open and shut drawers and cup
boards, looking for a hat large
enough to take the place of the
pancake.
This is a nice place you have

Inc you do quite a lot Of business,

In the back room Mrs. Mayberry
gave a warning cough. But Chatty
did not hear it.

Mrs. Mayberry's too.
She turned around from the chest
Of drawers to find that the custo-
mer was backing away towards the
street door. She had not even TAX

"Why-what's wrong? Don't you
want a hat?" Chatty stared at her
in amazement.

pushed the door open.

to have one-I just happened to be

for sale. But if you haven't any

Jerkily, she finished what she had
to say. The street door closed after
her. She was gone.
WE'LL" Chatty said aloud. well
of all things"
"I SHOULD SAY So" The
sound of Mrs. Mayberry'S voice close
behind her made her jump. She
swung around.
Mrs. Mayberry's eyes seemed 20
shoot sparks, and her Soapy hands
were on her nips. We'll, you're a
fine kind of a girl" she cried, and
her fury was in her voice. That
woman probably would have bought
me out if it hadn't been for you!
Here she walks IN two minutes aft

Thinks it's the very thing she wants
and then you tell her that we

Chatty opened her lips, but said
nothing.
yes stree! I could have sold her
this store if it hadn't been for you,
and that yard-long tongue of
yours" Mrs. Mayberry was all but
crying now.
Suddenly she wheeled and dashed
back into the workrOom behind the
shop. When she came flying out
again she had Chatty's hat end her
shabby little winter coat n her wet
hands.
She threw them down upon the
floor.
Put 'em on, and get Quit" she
stormed. Get out Of my sight. Go
on! Get out"
Too surprised to speak, or even
think clearly, Chatty picked them
up without a word, and did as she
was told.
1t was not until she was almost
home that she realized that she had
left her handbag behind her in the
shop, and that Mrs. Mayberry had
not paid her fer her weeks work.
. And how noisy and hysterical
Mrs. Mayberry lad been! Not like
her quiet self at all.
"And what did I do to make her

where the Chatterons lived. "All
I did was to tell that woman the
simple truth about the 55ore-and
why should I keep the truth bottled

She felt as though Mrs. Mayberry
had done her a great wrong.

pi~cture-story unfold on the silver
screen of a movie" theater.
Nc matter how much she might
rattle on about -verythinr else that
came into her head, Chatty never
spoke to anyone about these
thoughts of hers. But here they
were, far back IN her ain, just
the same The time had come
for Chatty to fall i, love, and she
never knew it.
But where will I ever meet any
body?" she often asked herself with
despair in her heart "stuc il this
store! J might just as well
be buried alive as hidden away
here in this place"
She turned away from the
streaming windows now, and looked
around he shop as if it were a
prison If it were only a down
town office or a bank or any other
place where men worked. Young
single men. Good looking, broad
shouldered young men, who might
ask her to have lunch sometimes
or
Look at those two crazy young
sters!" Mrs. Mayberry's slew voice
broke in upon her thoughts. Out
in all this doWnpour-"
Across the stree an automobile
was stopping-a gray, snut-nosed
roadster that looked as if it went
out in all kinds Of weather and
joyed it. Its top vas down, and
SO was its windshield. It was splash
ed with yellow mud. A great deal
Of its gray paint was gone.
AM the pair Of people who jump
ed out of it looked as 4 t ey did
not mind the wind and the weather,
both Of them in shiny black slick

tam pulled down over her head, but
the man was hatless, and his red
hair was plastered flat against his
head by the rain. He was just as
good looking as he could be, never
theless.
Young idiot-trying to catch his
death Of cOld!" Mrs. Mayberry, that
woman of few words, cried as the
careless pair vanished into Tall
mans shop. He'd better be buy
ing himself a hat instead of getting
flowers for that grill"
"Oh, do you think he's buying
flowers for her?" Chatty asked, try
ing to see beyond the ropes and
lilies banked in Tallman's front
window.
Mrs. Mayberry's lips twisted in a
sarcastic smile.
We'll, what else do you suppose
he's going to fuy in a flower store?"
she wanted to know, "a her tone
was not SO pleasant as usual.
She was not in a very happy
frame Of mind, poor woman! For
weeks and weeks she had been

of course, he's gone in to buy

like that" Chatty answered after a
moment. He doesn't have to be

cause she happens to be with him.

For 10 reason that was clear to
herself, she found herself wishing
suddenly that he was not buying
them for the girl in the black tam

ewes bred as lambs produced an 86
Fer cent lamb crop, in 1928, and raised
a 81 per cent crop, based OH 100 bred,

produced a 1875 per cent lamb crop
and raised 1913 per cent crop Of 7l.3

lambs produced, in 1929. a 142 per

Slackening Of activity In the build
ing industry caused slightly more un-
employment in North Dakota than
was evident during September. ac-
cording to the monthly report Of tho
federal labor service for North Da-
kota. The release OF labor from
threshing operations also was a factor
A fairly brisk call was experienced
for general farm help. however. and
road construction and other public
improvements are expected to furnish
work for unskilled laborcrs as long as
favorable weather lasts. Manufacture
ing plants are employing normal
forces for this season.
At Fargo, the report said. normal
forces are employed in meat packing
plants and the building industry. &C.
tober showed a slight reduction in
the number employed IN railroad re-
pair shops. The supply OF competent
farm labor is sufficient to meet all
requirements, and outdoor operations
arc utilizing the services CT unskilled
workers.
At Grand Forks there was a good
call Tor general farm labor. but no
shortage OF experienced men was
noted. Flour mills still are operating
ut capacity, but railroad shops have
slightly reduced their forces since
September. Local building tradcsmen
arc fairly busy.
Throughout. the states covered in
the report. which arc Minnesota. Mis-
souri, Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska. and
