CHAPTER XVIII

"No," Pete answered shortly be- tween tight lips. T mean that you can't see what Q fool this weak Carter boy is making of you, using you to further his own ends, trad- ing on your ."
 That's quite enough, Pete. l don't care to hear any more. Dix is Q gentleman. He's not using me and he's not e weak boy. Unless you apologize for those remarks, our friendship is at an end"
 Pete did not apologize. The quar- rel lasted all the way to Linda's apartment, and when Pete Gardi- ner bowed her out of his car, he was lowing her out of his life.
 The things Linda couldn't think of to say to Pete Gardiner she rec membered when she was dressing for Dix that night. Brushing her hair with swift, angry strokes, she finished Pete forever and found her eyes sparkling and her cheeks fiush- ed. Dressed in scarlet satin paja- mas, she marched up and down the small area of her living room, dart ing quick glances at the clock until she laughed in pure amusement. She had been going to vent her arl- ger on Dix!
 Dix had always the power to change her mood. She couldn't be sad or angry when she was with fiin. She couldn't be independent or herself. It was disquieting to think she couldn't be herself, that she was always playing being gay, happy, helpful. Thinking again of Pete's words. her anger rose in Dixe's defense. It wsan't because D,x was weak. It was only that Dix was someone to live Up to. She felt the strain of the situation - strain that is almost unavoidable when courtship is delicately bal- anced on the wires of two careers.
 Courtship was an old-fashioned idea, Linda thought, and wondered what new word there was for 1t. Coutrship was a lovely word for never to-be-repeated days before marriage. Pete had given her 8 sort of courtship, but she hadn't loved Pete, and 1t took the tender contemplation of love to make 1t precious.
 Waiting for Dix, Linda found herself thinking of marriage. That she was going to marry Dix, sine did not doubt. He had once asked her to wait for him. Waiting for what2 Then he had come back and told her that he loved her. When Q man loved a woman he wanted to marry her, didn't he?
 Linda wondered, and suddenly she had to know. She could not go on for years waiting for Dix, Knowing that the day would come when she would begin to dread losing him, the day when she would hear that he had been out with another girl and she would lose her head and give her heart over to torture. Linda had never experienced that feeling, but she was woman enough to anticipate 1t with all it's devastating pain. When that day came, she would go away and never see him again.
 It took Linda less than a minute to go to pieces, thinking of It.. When Dix arrived he found her hands cold, her eyes dark and shadowed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-06


 Linda didn't try tosbe gay. Her eyes searching his face, expecting to find she knew not what. It was the same face with the same laugh ing eyes, the same easy smile, the same impatient eyebrows.
 She laughed nervously. I'm tired, darling, and in talkative mood. I want to play Questions and Answers. Would you like to?"
 Anything you want to do is always all right with me-" he an- swered, dropping to the sofa.
 She lit @ cigaret for him. "You shouldn't smoke. Think of your voiceI And is there anything new about the voice?"
 "Yes. I dropped in to see Thorne today. Thought I might have some trouble getting in, but he remem. bered my name and asked me in. Nice fellow. He's going to make Q sequence of his last picture over, and he might give me Q chance to do two songs."
 But that's wonderfull Dix, darling, when he sees the rushes you'll be made and ." Linda didn't finish her sentence; she was about to say that her work would be done. She sighed with sheer relief. The last day that she had to see Thorne could not come too soon. She was afraid of him. Afraid that he would make an overt gesture, and she would not know how to handle him.
 Dix captured her hand. Her other stroked his hair. "What are the questions and answers2" he asked.
 Linda was glad that he asked that. It made 1t easier for her to begin. Nonetheless, she wondered if her voice was as bright and gay as she meant 1t to be when she answered.
 I'll ask the questions, and you supply the answers. Do you love me?"
 Certainly. Next"
 DO you think you always will2"
 Dix laughed. Don't you read the movie titles, woman? Don't you know that no one knows the answer to how long he will love?"
 How much do you love me?" Linda persisted.
 Linda, you sound like a char acter out of Q children's book. Am I supposed to spread my hands 50 high or something like that? Or would you like me to fall on one knee, seize your hand in mine and lay my heart and hand at your feet?"
 He had given her the opening she had been hoping for. "Some- thing like that" she said, and added quickly, Only that isn't done any more, is 1t? Except that people still do get married. They just say Let's fly to Yuma and get married.' It's not as romantic, but quite as satisfactory"
 Dix didn't say anything. Linda knew he must feel her heart skip ping beats. Sine wished fervently that she had said nothing. Now Dix would think that she was pur- suing him, and Heaven help the girl 50 unwise as to force 0 man to decalre himSelfl
 Dix swung his legs to the floor, smoothed his rumpled hair. Anx-

Our Invisible Highway Patrol

Montanas last legislative assembly enacted a law
founding the state highway patrol Acknowledged by the
electorate of the state as a necessary and progressive
step in the promotion of safety ON our highways, it is re-
ported to be accomplishing much in the way of highway
law enforcement in the many parts of the state where it
is operating. Unfortunately, we in Sheridan county can
not verify the efficiency of the organi2ation-they have
hardly appeared on our highways.
Motorists of this county were decidedly in favor Of
the method prescribed by the legislature to raise funds
to defray operating expenses of the patrol and have con-
tributed over 81 500 in drivers license fees the last year.
But il was understood before these fees were paid that
this county would have the same law enforcement on
its highways as other counties of the state were expected
to receive. Although the officials of the patrol now make
regular tours of other highways of the state, Sheridan is
still forgotten. The speeders, the r~oad-hogs and the in
toxicated drivers need fear no molestat'o on by the state
highway patrol while endangering other drivers on Sher-
idan highways.
Motorists and pedestrians of this county demand
representation by this law enforcement group. The driv-
ers of this territory demand that their property and per-
sonal safety be safeguarded by the organization their
subscriptions help finance.

Watch the Wheat Market

Many Americans have wondered during the past
week or so whether or not Europe was going to have
another war. Most of them realize that little dependence
could be put upon the published statements of the lead
es of governments. However, we will tell you one fair
ly accurate method of gaugng the proximity of war.
While it is not an unfailing index the price of wheat
is a fairly reliable barometer of the possibility of war.
About the middle of the week it went up a cent and one
half a bushel as Canada reported considerable purchases
from Europe, indicating the nations were getting ready
to feed armies in the field On Saturday, however, the
price dropped five to eleven-eights of a cent as the con-
census of opinion felt peace reasonably assured.
The stock market of Wall street is another barom-
eter which can be read by the skilful although the big
traders have their nervous moments just like anybody
else. The prices of stocks went down as owners feared
the effects of a war. They could also go down if foreign
nations began selling the holdings of their citizens in or
der to create a gold war fund in America. However, after
several days stocks swung back upward one to eight
points as the traders felt that war would not come at
this time. The prices of foreign bonds also gave the same
possibility of discovering what the average opinion is of
the probability OF peace or war.

Collegians Start Something

Starting around a table, where young college men
discussed the passage of the last soldier-bonus bill, and
organized in a spirit of fun, the Veterans of Future Wars
spread spontaneously to hundreds of campuses and the
newspapers of the nation printed the news of their trav-
esty on the bonus hunters amid the amused laughs of
millions.
Briefly, the future veterans want their bonus now,
while they can enjoy it, before being killed. They have
a national commander and a salute for the new order

their stunt, the college boys were amazed to find that the
idea had support and, unless present signs fail, the or
ganization will continue. Already, its officers have Of

Sensible is the decision of President Roosevelt to re-
scnd an order calling for a reduction in the number of
CCC camps The president proposed to close 102 camps,
several of them in Montana, by April ], but protests from
a large number of western congressman caused him to
change his mind. 1t is now the plan to continue these
camps, particularly those which would have been COM
PEELED to leave unfinished projects if closed on the first
of the month.
Of all the undertakings sponsored by the new deal
the CCC is in the strongest position to defend itself
against attack. True, it has been costly, as have all of
the Roosevelt ventures, but the CCC fortunately is able
to present tangible results, some evidence that taxpayers
have gotten something for their money. No charges of
boondoggling can be brought against the CCC. On the
contrary, it can point to accomplishments of material
public benefit, such as forest protection, reforestation,
trail building and numerous other activities that fall
within the scope of its broad program. Furthermore, it
has given thousands of young men a chance to develop
into sturdy manhood under the most healthful of sur
roundings.
To the average person who appreciates the fact that
a job half done is worse than not having started it at all,
it is difficult to understand what prompted the president
to close camps wherein projects are incomplete and need
completion to realize full value for money expended. If
it were economy, then the presidents idea of economy
falls far short of being sound. A half built bridge is not
only costly but useless. The money put into it is wasted.
This is likewise true of CCC camps. The president had a
close call from weakening one of the strongest talking
points in behalf of his dministraton-Billng Gazette.
