RFC Funds Speed Black Hills Memorial;
]. BorgLuna Hopes For Dedication In 1884

KEYSTONE, S. D., Sept. U.s.
Blasted out of ancient granite, the
Black Hills memorial to the ma
TONS progress and expansion is
gradually taking on new shape
with expectations that the colossal
carving will be ready for dedica-
ton by July, 1884.
In its final form the monument,
hewn out under direction of Gut
son Borglum, the sculptor, will
picture four presidents in gigantic
proportions visible 20 miles away
from scenic highways which are
being built to accommodate tour
list traffic.
In addition to the giant carv-
ings the monument also will bear
brief history of the United
States, etched in stone in letters
six feet high on the side of a 300
foot cliff.
RFC Funds Spur Work
Aided by RFC funds. the task
took on new life this year after
tagging because of financial diff
culties as we'll as serious engineer
ing problems. The latter in
volved, among other things, a
search for sound stone in which
to fit the carvings. problem
which caused Borglum to reset his
working model a half dozen times.
Washington's head, the first of
the group, was dedicated two
years ago. Since then most of
the work has consisted of finishing
the gigantic scull which measures
60 feet from crown to chin. Fig
ures of jefferson, Lincoln and
Theodore Roosevelt will be added
to the group later.
"a Men Al Work
Since resumption of the work
this year. two dozen men have
been slicing away the rock with
powder blasts and air drills,
smoothing the rugged mountain
side for the eventual appearance
of the other huge carvings.
Conceived in 1924, the colossal
memorial has been under .construc.a
ton since 1927. At first it was
hoped to complete it in five years
but lack of money, imperfections
in the ancient stone and the
height at which the men work all
contributed to the delay.
But now the famous artist be-
lieves he finally has charted the
face of Mt. Rushmore and has
again set his models for the final
EARNINGS. He plans to push the
work as much as possible, even
continuing operations through the
coming winter under protection
of canvas unless the weather
should become unusually severe.
One handicap under which the
workmen labor is that of reaching
their working places. Without eIe-
vators or hosting machinery, the
men must climb the cliff by lad
der. task that requires 30 min
utes.
Once atop the heights another
complication is the altitude
Rushmore is 1000 feet above sea
ievel--and the workmen are COM
PEELED to rest an hour after their
climb before beginning work.

CHE closed the door behind her,
- took off her hat and coat and
went about the business Of prepar-
ing a sketchy meal Eating was only
matter of routine these days.
AS She lit the gas burner and
set the tea kettle on to heat, Janets
thoughts returned to the young man
upstairs. Rather a nice young man
she thought casually.
Not handsome, not really good
looking like Rolf-oh, there she was,
doing what she had sworn she would
not dol Thinking about Rolf. Com
pairing everything she did to other
days and evenings when she had
been with him! Why couldn't she
stop it?
Well, she would stop! She de-
liberately would put Rolf Carlyle out
Of her mind as she had assured
herself again and again she had
already done. She would not think
about him!
There was that young man up

idly what his first name might be
Anything of course. You never
could tell about names.
She liked the way his eyes
crinkled at the corners when he
smiled. They were such very blue
eyes. She liked the way he laughed,
too, and the low pitch of his voice.
Well, she had tried to make up
for the cross way she had spoken
that other night. She hoped she
had made better impression this
time.
Not that Janet had tried con-
sciously to create an impression" of
any sort. 1t was natural, though,
for her to be friendly with every
one. She didn't like to think of
herself as being cross and snappish
even when there were excuses for it.
I'm glad" she said to herself,
that he didn't say anything about
a date. Since he's already made
friends, I won't have to worry about
that"
A few days later one Of Janet's
questions about the new roomer
was answered She learned that
his first name was Jeffrey, for
among the letters laid out on the
table in the hall was one ad-
dressed to Mr.. Jeffrey r. Grant"
1t was rather a nice name and it
seemed to suit him.

4 "A see Jeffrey Grant again. Feb
ruary had given way to March,
which arrived in lamb-like fashion
and remained that way.
Each day the sun Shone. The
wind lost its chilly nip and at mid
day was almost zephyr-hke. Crowds
pouring out of down town buildings
fingered on the sidewalks to chat
and sun themselves.
The windows of department stores
blOssomed with bright-colored spring
raiment. Already girls were wearing
little snug hats and some of them
had discarded winter coats for
jacket suits and lightweight wraps
that might be cool, but undeniably
were trim and becoming.
Tulips and hyacinths and freesias
made gay masses Of bloom in the
flower shops, and every sign pointed
to spring.
What time to be lonely and I'M
happy What a time to nurse heart
ache, to paint a brave smile on lips
that did not dare to stop smilingl
Janet tried to find solace in work.

Home office and she was grateful for
it. She arrived early and remained
late.

and dynamic driving power, abused
every privilege of an employer. He
gave her more work regularly than
/ any secretary could turn ouo be-
tween the hours of 9 and o'clock.
He gave her errandS outside the
office and he was irritable when the
letter he wanted was not on his desk

Janet was accomplishing. When
she was TOO tired to think of any
thing except the ache in her Shout
derS, it was easier to forget spring
nights a year ago.
1t was easier to forget sky of
midnight velvet splashed with star
shine, soft winds playing a mad, eX-
citing melody, boy and girl,
hearts beating high and in unison
and the world at their feet.
1t was easier to forget that all that
was over
She came slowly up the stairs of
the rooming house one evening,
pausing on the next to the top step
to find the key in her purse. A
door halfway down the hall opened
and Mollie Lambert emerged.
Janet" she exclaimed eagerly.
You're the very person I've been
looking for!"

I He mentioned the name Of tht
city where the steel mill was located
and added that he had worked there
since leaving college two years De
fore.
There was a pause in the con-
verSatiOn. Steel mills certainly
were not subject on which Janet
had much information She could
think of absolutely nothing to say
about them.
But they had almost reached the
rooming house. She fell back on
one Of the stock questions used
with newcomers. DO you know
many people in lancaster" she
asked.
"Oh, I've met quite a few at the
Office. There are a couple OF fell
lows, too, that I used to know at
school Lancaster seems 10 be a
nice place all right.
I guess I'll like it as soon as I
get to feel more at home here"
You'll like it," she assured him
cheerfully.
Now they had reached the room
ing house. Janet entered and went
to the hall table where mail was
left, to see If there was anything
for her. Young Mr.. Grant hurried
up the stairs.
There were no letters on the table
for Janet, but she fingered TO speak
to Mrs. Snyder who appeared in the
doorway. Then she mounted the
stairs slowly and went to her room.
No letters. No telephone calls.
Nothing but lonely evening ahead,
exactly like last night and the
night before.

CHAPTER TWELVE

THE young man across the aisle
Il flushed slightly and shifted his
gaze to the bright border Of car
cards over Janet's head.
His blue eyes fastened on a purple
and orange monstrosity advertising
cough strip. It must have inter-
ested him, for he studied it intently
Janet was able to give him a
second, covert glance and recog-
nized him at once. He was not
as she had supposed, another Of the
starers and smilers TO be frigidly
ignored.
He was the new rOOmer at Mrs
Snyder's-the young man who had
mistaken her room for one that was
vacant and come there to borrow an
electric light globe.
She had seen him only once
since, leaving the house one morn
ing ahead Of her Janet's quick
scrutiny took in the dark blue over
coat and the snap-brim black felt
Yes, he was rather nice looking.
Suddenly their eyes met again
and this time Janet smiled. The
young man smiled, too. Uncom-
fortably Janet remembered that she
fad not been very gracious the
other night. Quite the opposite
She had treated the young man
as though he were burglar, prac-
tically accused him of being one.
He had been embarrassed and she
had done nothing whatever to make
the situation easier.
What's the matter with me late
ly?" Janet asked herself. do I
have to quarrel with every one?
Can't I even speak civilly to a
stranger?"
They still were several blocks from
look toward the young man again.
but when they both rose to leave the
car he waited to let her go ahead.
On the sidewalk she turned, hest
tating. The young man swung down
to the ground.
You're Mr. Grant, aren't your"
Jenet asked. Only a moment be-
fore the name had come to her.
yes. 1 wasn't quite sure when I
saw you on the car"
My names Janet HILL" the girl
went on. And of course I know
you're living at Mrs. Snyder's. Have
you been in Lancaster long?"
"A little over a month";" he told
her. THE first week 1 stayed at a
hotel, but didn't like that very
we'll"
HOW tall he was Walking be-
Il side him, Janet felt much less
than her feet 5, which certainly
was a good average height for a girl
Something about him made her
sure that he had played football and
probably other sports He looked
like that.
do you think you're going to like
1t here?" she asked politely.
"Oh, 1 guess so. It's convenient.
I'm working for Standard Steel
down in the RoSsiter building
Janet never had heard of Stand
ard Steel. but the name was impress
sive. What do you do?" she asked
The young man laughed He had
pleasant. low pitched laugh to
match his pleasant, pitched
voice. ITO tell the truth" he said
I'm just beginning to find out what
its all about. I'm supposed TO be
q salesman some day, l guess.
About all I've done so far is look
through files and answer letters

1T was only for the fraction of a
4 second that Janet's eyes met
Rolls. Then he bent his head and
said something to the girl in his
arms.
She smiled and a moment later
they were out of sight, lost among
the other dancers.
For an instant the lights, the din
Of the orchestra and the figures of
the men and women about them
seemed to Janet to blur into a hid
eOuS tumble.
She felt as though she might fall
and clutched at Mullins shoulder.
He frowned. THAT guy bumped
into you, didn't hep" he said.
Who does he think he is? For
two cents I'd give him a smack in
the jaw! That's what he needs,
the big!"
oh, MOI" Janet whispered, ter
rified. Pleased"
Guys can't bump into my girl"
Mullins protested Grossly. why
don't he look where he's going?
Where is he now?"
He craned his neck, but by this
time Rolf and Betty Kendall were
across the room. Janet was afraid
there would be trouble. She
couldn't bear that Anything in the
world but that! She must stop it
some way.
Let's not dance any more" she
said quickly. Its so crowded and
the air seems stutfy. I'd rather go
back to our table"

bY BRUCE CATION

4 BOUT all that the average
L N American knows about Lord
jeffrey Amherst is that he figures
in a very stirring song sung at foot
ball games by the Amherst collegi-
ans, in which it is set forth that
he was a soldier of the king: but a
new biography, Lord Jeffrey AM
herSt, by j. c. Long. makes it clear
that the gentleman deserves a much
wider fame.
Mr.. Long points out that Amherst
was one Of England's greatest en-
pire builders; and he asserts, fur
Their, that the man was by all odds
the empires greatest soldier be-
tween Marlborough and Wellington.
His chief title to fame, of course,
is the fact that he won Canada for
the crown. Wolfe, dying on the
plains of Abraham. got most of the
glory; but Amherst was command
er-in-chief in America at the time.
he had paved the way for the cap
ture Of Quebec by seizing Louis
bourg, and year later he brought
three armies to the gates of Mon
treal, coolly told the startled French
governor general. Il have come to
take Canada and will take 10th
ing less" and made his word good.
In 1878, George III wanted to give
Amherst the job of beating Wash
ington'S continentalS.
Amherst refused-not, as legend
has it, because he sympathized with
the Americans, but because he felt
as a soldier that the job was i'm
possible
All in all, the man is worth read
ing about, and Mr.. Long has writ
ten an excellent biography.

was only a little taller than Molne

Still, thero was something en-

his words came in short, jerking
D.. phrases.
II was AIS car in which they

telling him about the time the car

to ask him to move it, but that
seemed to be giving the matter too

For the remainder of the ride tc

a description Of Spruce City. 1t was
a poor place in the opinion of Frank
Mullins, who evidently regarded
Lancaster as far more desirable.
He liked "a town with some life
he assured her. The people in
Spruce City were dumbbells. They
didn't know what it was all about
Mullins conversation was filled with
such phrases.
He still was talking when they
arrived at Reigals'. 1t was a new
place and Janet never had been
there. The entrance was impressive
with a canopy leading from the curE
to the doorway.
They had to park the car on q
side street and walk back half g

was lost.
