Chapter so

Two days later Raquel and
Greta were gliding smoothly
along the Deauville road on
their way back to Paris. Al
phonse had gone on to Carls'
bad.
Jerry Parker's farewell to Ra-
quel was frankly regretful. The
regret Of a man who is being
denied the company Of an anus
ing and interesting companion.
With Bryce Watrous, he mo-
tored as far as the Inn Of
william the Conquerer, where
the four had luncheon.
GOSH" Greta confided to
Raquel when their car drew
up to the ancient hosiery. II
forgot that darn kettle. Now
I'll have to go to all the trouble
to blast another one away from
that frog custodian of the
kitchens"
You might tell Bryce you'd
like ones", suggested Raquel.
mo. I can't do that. He'd
buy for me, and then I'd miss
all the fun
But you don't want a brass
kettle"
"Of course, I don't. I'll send
1t to Hattie. With her usual
motherly unSelfishness, she'll
see big package and think
I'm sending her a mink coat or
something. When she unwraps
that kettle, she'll be fit to be
tied"
The luncheon was rather
giddy, Raquel thought. Banter
was the prevailing note. No
tingle Of the sorrow Of part
Ing touched it. A fizz of fire
works>that gave a fitting finish
to q holiday celebration.

started. May stay on in Deau-

Greta. Bryce and have a

Well, that's the end of
that. Greta said to Raquel as
they rolled away. "a couple of
good eggs. They'll miss us.

ITS been a wonderful holi-
day." said Raquel.
And howl" exclaimed Greta.
Quiet, though, considering you
were there. No dueIs. No dukes.
No lady spies. How did you
do it?"
"Greta. you're incorrigible."
Il Can't deny It till YOU tell
me what it is.''
The remainder Of the trip
was made In comparative
silence. Geta dozed. Raquel,
with passive mind and body,
watched the landscape unroll.
Even the most satisfactory Of
holidays, she thought, must
have their reactions.
She hoped Eric Stafford had
left Paris. That he would make
no attempt to see her again.
She was sure he must have
gone-to London, probably. His
sense Of decency, of fair play,
would have been so violated
thats he would avoid her as
If she were q kind Of plague.
The house in Neuilly was ra-
diant to receive them.
.'Gosh!" breathed Greta,
scampering through the rooms
to remark every vase of flowers,
every evidence of the care that
had been taken to make their
arrival a joyous one Amt 1t

Contract Now Ready for
Approval of Land Owners
in the Highlands District
MAGICIAN. TOO

In addition TO being a collect
or, musician, golfer and what
have you, Mr.. Frank Beste, if
you please, is also a real, live,
honest to goodness magician.
And there are several small
boys in his neighborhood who
are perfectly willing to take
oath that he is. It came about
this way: As Frank was coming
down to the shop after a frugal
dish Of crackers and milk Il
presume) he noticed one of q
group of small boys had his
hands covered with warts. Call
ing the youngster, he asked If
he wanted to get rid of 'em.
The kid said he did, so Frank
got a small, flat stone, telling
the youngsters that the kind Of
stone was very important. And
then he rubbed the stone over
the kids warts mumbling hokus-
pokus, rotten tomatoes-or some
such ringamarole and told the
kid to throw the rock as far as
he could over his left shoulder.
Leaving the kids pop-eyed, he
continued on his walk to the
store. Couple of days later the
youngster came busting into the
store, wide-eyed with excite
ment. 'Iookee! They're gone"
Sure enough they were.

ALL is READY
FOR THE FAIR
Bigger and Better Than
Ever Queen Race Is
to be Close

Feyerish activity will mark ths
Forthcoming week for the workers
connected with the fair. Last
minute details are being rounded
into shape and the fair promises
as a result to be bigger and bet
ter than ever.
The fair board is planning more
entertainment features this wear
than ever before. Exhibits in ali
departments will be more varied
and interesting, according to all
the advance information. This is
especially true in the woman's de-
partment and the livestock sheds,
Saturday night of this week will
see the close of the queen contest.
So far it is anybody's race, but
there are persistent rumors that
there will be several surprises
sprung before the final count is
chalked up. At noon today there
were less than three hundred votes
between the two high scores. Jane
Wooden was leading May Turner
with a count of 5O,250 to 1880.
Bernadine Durdle was third with
1875, Stella Murray 1890 and
Isabel Williams, II, 800.
One ticket will more than make
up the difference between the lead
ers, tho both are suspected of
holding back the bulk of their
count. At the dance Saturday night
the count will be made each half
hour and some spirited voting is
looked for. The two high counts
will go to Spokane to represent the
district at the Interstate fair.
The pet department is lining up
fine, too, according to Ralph CrutJ
who has charge of the en-
tries. His department will have
for a headliner, real, live, three
legged pig. Pets of every kind
from trained fleas to leaping ele-
plants will be on display and en-
tries are still open, and it is hop
ed that every pet in the district
will be on the lists.

DITCH CLAIMS
SECOND VICTIM
Infant Son of George
Ketchum Drowned in
Irrigation Canal

The irrigation ditch claimed it!
second victim for the year last Sat.
urday when Ralph Edward, the in.
FAINT SON of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Ketchum, was drowned.
The,little boy, less than two
years old, was playing in the yard
at the home of his grandfather, on
Washington street. The yard is
surrounded with a woven wire
fence and with his smaller broth
er, the youngster had the run of
the place. Finding a hole under the
fence, dug by the dog, the two boys
crawled thru and went to the
ditch, a short distance away.
Missing the boys, the mother
searching, found the younger on
the ditch bank alone. At once real
izing the danger, she aroused a
neighbor and search made of the
canal. A short distance down the
stream the little body was found
floating on top.
A hurried trip to town found
both doctors absent from their Of
fices. At the city hall an attempt
was made to use the pulmotor,
which proved to no avail. Later
when a physician arrived it was
too late to revive the boy.
Funeral services were held in the
chapel Wednesday morning and
interment was made in the local
cemetery. Ralph Edward Ketchum
was one year, nine months and IS
days old and is survived by his
parents, two small brothers, grand
parents and a great grandparent.

Youth Identified

Word comes from Prosser that
the youth who was drowned in the
canal two weeks ago has been
identified as the son of Mrs. Bar
ker, of Tumwater, who was here
recently. Not positive of identifi-
cation, Mrs. Barker was shown the
clothing which was found on the
canal bank. She recognized a
patch she had put on some time
previously and agreed that they
had belonged to her son. The
young mans companion has not
yet been located.
