CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 8
I was almost seeing red, I
was so furious at Peter Thomp-
son.
I could hear his words still
ringing in my ears: "You
wouldn't be the first good girl
to go wrong!"
My impulse was to slap him
II drew back my hand and
certainly would have handed
him a good one if he hadn't
caught my hand and held me.
Listen, Katie-don't get me
wrong-but I told you a big
truth. You are playing with
fire and you know it. Let me
advise you, even If you do de-
spise me. At least can re-
member that once you loved
me-" Peter pleaded.
Love you!" I exclaimed, still
burning with rage.
You did once, Katie" Peter
persisted.
"Once is far from now"
Hate me If you wish, but I
want to advise you. Cora will
be away from you now. Your
kind and wise father has
passed on"
He was still holding my
hands.
He was so forlorn, so miser-
able. that I felt sorry for him.
Forgive me, Peter, didn't
mean to lose my temper. am
all right, only sorry it can't be
you-we'll always be friends"
I promised.
Always" Peter agreed, re-
lieved over the way had
calmed down.
When he left me I felt
Sorrier than ever for him. Peter
had been my first real beau.
We had started being good
friends when I was 16. I had
been fond of him. but I couldn't
see being tied down to a poor
man all of my days.
I didn't see Peter Thompson
for quite a while after this.
I gave Cora all she wanted
Of the furniture and got rid of
the remainder. Viola Carson
and I found the cuteSt little
furnished kitchenette apart
ment imaginable.
Cora had given UP work in
the Miers establishment when
she married Mack Parker, much
to Mrs. Miers regret. I settled
down to work again after the
excitement of the fashion
show, the marriage of Cora
and my first gay outing with
Thad Parsons after my six
months of quiet following
fathers death.
Thad Off to Palm Beach
It was getting along toward
Easter.
Then Thad brought me home
from a party and spoke of it.
GIVE got to join a party of
friends at Palm Beach for a
few weeks-it won't be long,
only it will seem long to me-"
he said.
Even as he said it I was
thinking that another Easter
would find me at Palm Beach
myself as Mrs. M. Thad Par
sons and having a gay time
along with the same party of
his friends.
"It's just too bad, Thad," I
said, "that you have to leave
this snow and slush and freez.
ing weather, and put in some
miserable weeks down there in
the warm sunshine"
II had rather be with you,
Katie" he assured me.
"All of which explains why
you are going a thousand miles
away from me, I suppose"
mo, dear girl, I simply have
to keep my word and join my

some chums to go tarpon fish

"FIave a good time, Thad,
am going to Palm Beach my
self some day." I declared, hop
ing he would take the hint. =
'fOf course you are-don't
worry about that" he cried.
How I wanted to tell him
that he might marry me right
then and take me with him. A
girl can't do that sort of thing.
At least, couldn't.
I didn't ask Thad for any
address. He always wrote to
me when he was away.
I turned to the society pages.
Surely there would be some
thing about Thad and his

cards, undignified cards, "cute"
cards, or so-called humorous
cards, of announcemnt. This

and I regret that these cards
are so easily obtainable.
The only form Of announce
ment that should be used, If
any is sent, and the only form
countenanced by good society,
is the use of the engraved Mr..
and Mrs. card, with the small
baby card, engraved with the
name of the new baby and the
date of it's birth.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

1. Flowers are the gift usu.

on the day Of the debut, so
that they may be used as the

OF course loving members OF
the family, close relatives, or
very close friends often send
her more substantial gifts as
memorials Of the occasion. and
of course this Is correct to do
if they wish.

MY idea is that it is gracious

to welcome the guests when

might go into the room for an
other few minutes during their

.DAUGHERTY GUILTY,
OHIO JURORS FIND
Sentence in Bank Case Held
Up Pending Move for An
other Trial.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Ohio, March 5.-Mal S. Daugherty,
brother Of former United States Attor-
ney General Harry M. Daugherty and
a figure in the Senate'S investigation OF
oil land leases several years ago, today
faced a prison sentence for abstractlng
funds while president of the closed Ohio
State Bank.
Daugherty was found guilty late yes
terday by a Fayette County jury, which
required but one ballot. The 68-year-
old former banker, whose three-week
trial was interrupted by the death of
his aged mother, sat unmoved as he
heard the verdict.
Will Seek New Trial.
His attorneys announced a motion
for a new trial will be filed, pending
which his sentence will be delayed. He
was found guilty on all five counts of
the indictment, each of which carries a
maximum sentence of 80 years impris-
onment and a fine of $4,000.
Sixteen indictments were returned
against Daugherty as result of the
failure of the bank last May and his
subsequent bankruptcy, but he was tried
on only one indictment involving
abstraction of $3.50. John Perrill,
wealthy Fayette County farmer, signed
two blank checks which Daugherty
filled in for a total of $3.50 and
accredited to his account, according to
the evidence. The checks were secured
by note bearing Perrill's name, but
the farmer denied signing it.
Other Charges Made.
Prosecutor Norman Mclean also con-
tended that during 1929 Daugherty
added approximately $4,000 to his
accounts on loans credited to others,
that the defendant approved loans when
the banks reserves were low and that
his wife owed $4,000, which had not
been repaid.
Daugherty came into national atten-
ton few years ago when, as president
of the Midland National Bank, he re-
fused Senate commission permission
to inspect the books in a hunt for
alleged bride money in Government oil
deals. He was cited for contempt of
the Senate, but was never prosecuted
The Midland and two other banks were
later merged to form the Ohio State
Bank.

M0NTANA'S GIANT STEER
CREATES WIDE INTEREST

recent issue had a large and good
picture of "Steer Montana" larg-
est steer in the world. Just two
years ago the owner. Jack Guth,
Baker rancher, exhibited either
this animal. or a full brother of
1t of older age, in Wolf Point. The
steer, which ever one it was, was
then called "Bulgy". The picture
in the Tribune looks exactly like
the steer the owner had here.
Guth at that time told OF a young
er brother of Bulgy which he be-
lieved would be still bigger. He
said he had a third one, a broth
err of the other two, that ranked
close to them in size. Guth said
he planned to take the three to
the Worlds Fair at Chicago in
1888. The story that went with
the picture in the Tribune said:
