Only for one brief instant did
Crystal Hathaway'S historical mind
consider the simplest solution to her
problem for saving Pablo Mendoza
from the consequences of her mad
fiight-creeping back to her cou-
sins home and acknowledging the
shameful truth.
Ne. no! She couldn't abase her
self so. Could not bear Faiths pity
ant. Bob's disguised anger; could
bear. no less, Tony Tarver's honest,
scornful eyes. Tony never lied,
could not understand liars.
But then, the Tony Tarvers OF
this world have so little reed to lie,
Crystal told herself with angry We
hemence.
No. she simply could not face any
of thenl-now. Not with her pa
thetic, foolish romance exposed, ev-
levry shred of importance stripped
from her tiny soul.
AS long as she stayed away, was
'musteriously missing" as the pa
pers would have it, she was i'm
portant. She could picture the con-
fusion and CONSERVATION in her Oft
reapeated expressions of love and
remorse that she had not done more
to make poor Crystal happy;
Bob's cousinly desire to avenge her
wrongs; his frantic efforts TO bring
back the girl he had so little appre-
ciated wher she was a member OF
his household.
For several minutes, as Crystal
plodded YEARLY along the dark,
rutted country lane. her bruised ego
took comfort from these pictures
which her imagination evoked.
But-how could she make sure
that Pablo Mendoza, who loved
her and who had wanted to marry
her, should not come TO grief and
humiliation through her disappear
ance?
It would be many hours before

" man isn't half as nice as it
sounds. That is, it's a dreadful
strain.
A regular nightmare, Ashtoreth
said. Only worse. Oh, much, much
worse. With reporters asking
girl how many nightgowns she had,
and if it was love match.
And would she please tell them
the story Of her romance, and how
Mr. Hart proposed? And where
they we're going to live? And did
she mean to have a family?
Il wonder, my dear Miss Ashe,"
pprxed Miss Fannie Drown, sob
sister of the Trumpet, eff you will
tell all the little stenographers in
the city how to win a husband.
Through the pages of the Trumpet,
you know. On the Woman's Page.
A nice, dignified little interview"
There were photographers, with
big black cameras, on the steps.
And movie men, who set up tripods
on the sidewalk.
There were reporters from every
paper in town. And several from
New York besides.
The telephone rang necessarily.
Messengers arrived in droves.
Sadie had disappeared. And
Maize wrung her plump hands, and
called on heaven to witness a
mothers grief.
Ashtoreth wanted to be married
in ivory satin, with. wimple like
a nuns, to swathe her throat and
face. She wanted to carry pure
white Easter lily, with a long stem.
All her life she had dreamed about
it. All she had to do was close her
eyes, and hear the organ music
roll.
She could see herself, a vision in
hlmy white, standing on a red
carpet, before a great white altar,
with candles SO lofty they seemed
half lost in the darkness.
Standing before a man of God,
important in ecclesiastical robes and
the trappings of churchly office.
While a golden tenor, trembling
pasSionately should sing 20 Promise

DROBABLY every girl dreams OF
i such a wedding. And some see
their dreams come true.
Anybody would think that Ash
toreth, engaged to one of the rich
est men in the country, could have
been married in any fashion she
chose.
AS a matter of fact, she joined
hands with Hollis in the Office OF
Mr.. Harvey Higginbotham, who was
his attorney And happened, also,
to be a justice of the peace.
She wore black crepe satin, six
months old. A small velvet hat,
and a pointed fox scarf.
In her ears were large single
pearls, and about her neck a grad
uated string. On the third finger
of her left hand she wore another
monstrous pearl, cleaning from a
gorgeous setting of diamonds.
Hollis had bought them in New
York. after she had taken the train
for Boston.
The scarf he had also bought. 1t
was in the window of nearby shop,
and impressed itself upon him as
being soft and beautiful enough to
warm the pale, slim throat of his
lovely Orchid.
The pearls he had carried in his
pocket. The scarf arrived, by mes
senger from New York, few min
utes before the ceremony.
Ashtoreth carried an armful OF
orchids. Hollis, she decided, must
have ordered them by the gross.
They were in bowls and vases

ping Volume Heretofore

Estimates Of the crop which will be
available for shipment from North
Dakota this fall will be made by the
Northwest Regional advisory board at
its meeting here, July %.
Although the program for the
meeting has not been arranged. the
principal item of business will be to
estimate the number Of cars which
will be necessary to move the crop
smoothly nd without trouble. accord
ing to G. w. Mcdonnell, chairman Of
the state railroad board.
Because Of the close study made Of
conditions and the wide range Of in
formation available to members of
the advisory board these estimates
have proved unusually accurate in the
past.
One Of the items which will be con-
sidered at the meeting, according to
advices to Mcdonnell, is that Of dis
tributing cars to elevators at times
when they r full of grain and few
cars are available.
Although there has been no serious
car shortage in North Dakota since
the spring Of 1923. the rule is re-
signed to care for shortages when
they occur.
The rule now in effect is that. In
use Of blocked elevators cars are to
be distributed to elevators in any
town on the basis of the business done
preceding the blockade. The elevator
which did 60 per cent of the business
prior to the blockade would get so per
cent Of the available carr and other
elevators in proportion.
The proposed change would cause
the cars to be prorated among eleva-
tors, regardless of the volume of bus
iness done by them before the block.
ade developed.
In view Of the fact that in most
cases the Farmers elevators do more
business than competing Independent
and line elevators combined, the re-
suit Of the Change would be to pen
alize these farmer-owned elevators
and the persons who otherwise would
prefer to do business with them, &C
cording to Mcdonnell. He expects the
change to meet with the strong op-
position Of persons interested in
farmers elevators and in promoting
cooperative enterprises in North Da'
kota, he said.

French Turf Hit
BY Finance Worry

PARIS. Sept. 22.-,The sport Of
kings in France Is in a bad way.
The attendance at race tracks IS
decreasing every week although the
price Of admission has been re-
duced.
Owing to increased expenses of
breeding and training and high
taxation, French owners cannot
make the pace, and the sport IS
rapidly getting into the hands OF
foreigners, five Of whom were
among the leading owners las.

The betting machines at race
tracks upon the receipts from which
horse racing Is largely dependent
for its resources. suffer heavily
from the competition Of illegal bet
ting.
In 1923 the betting machines ac-
counted for SOS. 900. 900, but it is es-
timated that clandestine bets
amounted to at least $500, coo. 900.
As a remedy for this leakage it is
proposed to license bookmakers as

machine offices in the principal
cities.
