POST OFFICE WORK
is MAKING SHOWING
Retaining Wall to Rear and Also Big
Tree Being Removed; Dis
mantling Rear Wall

Workmen for the contractor en-
larging and remodeling the post office
have progressed to the point now that
what is going on is easily noticeable.
The retaining wall to the rear of the
old post office lot is almost torn
away, and the back wall, which is to
be removed for the extension and en-
largement, is now being demolished.
4 huge tree, which was for years
thing of beauty and a sort of show
place. is in the direct path of the ex-
pansion work and is being dug up by
the roots. It was badly marred sew
eral winters ago when an unusually
heavy coating of sleet broke limbs
and branches away and almost de-
nuded it. In the several seasons since
that time, however, much of this lost
foliage had grown back. But it is be
ing cut down for keeps now, with no
chance of saving it.
A large corps of workmen are
tearing away portions of the build
ing that will be replaced with newer
and more modern materials and
equipment.
While the work is scarcely more
than getting under way on big scale
acceleration is looked for as the pro-
iect proceeds, and the job is to be
completed sometime next summer.

GREATEST IN YEARS

The twentieth annual Golden Belt
Fair got under way today at the fair
grounds a mile east OF the city limits,
with The prospcc. o. big opening
night crowd, and with exhibits and
anusernents on tte most elaborate
scale Of any recent fair season.
Weather conditions were ideal for
the start of the weeks program, with
a bright sun shining, and little wind,
with just enough chill in the atmos-
phere to iJnpart true autumn twang
to The occasion.
The Cetlin e. Wilson Shows, one of
the leading amusement enterprises
touring the country today, is furnish
ing the attractions for the Midway,
and brought so many stands to town
thac there was not sufficient room
on the grounds for their acccmmoda-
tons, and at least two rides and two
or three shows had to be abandoned
for lack of space. The organization
worked feverishly all day setting up
their attractions and everything was
in readiness to handle the expected
crowds by late this afternoon.
All exhibit space was taken in the
exhibit hall, and these displays were
set during the day. They were like
wise the most elaborate of any recent
season at the fair. A gricultural ex-
hibits and various Federal activities
were stressed in the booths in the ex-
hibit hall, and are expected to attract
many visitors during the week.
Free acts have been provided in a
program calling for ten different
numbers, including the always popu-
lar and sensational high dive. Jimmy
Jamison, the high diver, will plunge
more than 100 feet every evening
from the top of a ladder near the ex-
hibit hall into a tank seven feet deep
with water and with a radius of IL
feet The outdoor stage was complet-
ed this afternoon, together with the
high dive ladder and pool, and the
full proram made ready for tonight's
initial proram offering.
Visitors to the fair will find the
best and most complete set-up they
have seen here in years, which is not
an exaggeration nor the customary
hackneyed expression of the type. The

He could hear a grinding below,
that crunching sound Of the anchor
chain he had heard so often lately,
and always for new ports, new
scenes, new faces. The engines
were in reverse; the boat was swing

Quarantine! That meant home.
They would lie there for the rest of
the night. Macduff rolled over to
the wall. The throbbing ceased at
last, and stiffness descended on the
ship, broken by the laughter and
cries of the last night jewellers.
Their voices, drowned before by the
pounding sound of the bait in mo-
ton, were strangely strident now.
The flying steps of excited girls
could be heard along the corridors.
Everything seemed extraordinarily
clear, now that the ship had n
chored. Macduff felt as if he had
emerged from the Cave of the
Winds. At last he fell asleep.
Angela's name was on his lips
when he Weakened five hours later,
looking as hard as a rock, sober and
fresh. His first thought was, "I'll
soon be saying goodbye" Then he
remembered Joan, with a catch of
his breath. Chastity! He was sorry
for Charlton. When his steward
came with his coffee, he cursed
him because it was cold. Dressing
himself with care, he selected the
dark green tie that Angela had
helped him to buy in Manila. He

Oood Dye, Angela, said
moving slowly up the bay in the
haze of the early morning. The
shore and the water seemed deadly
dull after the sharp contrasts of the
tropics. There was nothing in the
neutral landscape to excite the eye
until the skyscrapers came into
view. The passengers did not look
like themselves this morning, for
they were all logged out in their
city clothes. The celebrants of the
night before were slowly coming
to life, feeling sick and depressed.
Couples who would soon be parted
hung together at the rail, watching
the encroaching shore line with dis
may. One youth was fumblingly
trying to say goodbye to a girl
whom he now adored. Soon he
would be meeting his bride of a
year; and their baby born, a month
ago. His hand plucked nervously
at his companions coat. Their
glances were telling their story,
but nobody cared. Angela was
there-cool, composed, in a black
tailored costume and a small black
hat, with a fur around her should
ers. Her face was drained of colour.
AS usual, she had dreamed through
the night of Jenny's face and her
thin, pale hands clutching at the
water. 1t dawned on Macduff that
none of them knew about Joan, not
even Angela. He moved over to-
wards her.
"Good-morning, Angela"

wanted you to watch the skyline

"Yes, really"
They stood close together and
watched the buildings swimming into
view-tall grey spires, glittering
through the morning haze, like a
gigantic fresco flung against the
sky. Angela could imagine thou

panes of glass, and captains of in

was handing him a card with an
address, while she devoured him
with her eyes. He remembered now
that it had been like this at every
port, always a girl waiting for Dick
except at Bombay, where he had
devoted himself so disastrously to
Miss Nudge.
Angela would be across the docks
and on her other boat now, finding
her way to a new stateroom. He
felt like driving back to see her
again, to tell her some of the things
that were yelling up within him.
Better not to see her again, better
to see her some time later in Eng
land, wait for her life to straighten
out. He wished hat he could help
her over the difficult bit that was
coming. She looked so calm when
he left her on the boat, the only
woman he had ever known who was
clever enough to accept a crushing
blow without showing her distress.
He did not like being at home.
He had nowhere to sit, and even his
b~ookshelves looked unfriendly. He
glanced over the titles and came to
rest on one of his own books. That
made him think of his typewriter,
which was still in its dusty corner
among his papers, safe from Susan
nah's cleaning. She did not dare to
touch his papers. He opened It up
and started to type bus his fingers
were stiff from lack of practice.
There was nothing to write. His
mind was a blank. The bloody
,,flatness of everything! His thoughts
went round in circles-the boat,
Angela, cherry blossoms, the mists
of D~arjeeling, the elephants at
Handy, Johnny and Patty, Jenny
squeezing her way into the China
Sea, Joan crushed at the bottom of
the tank, Angela, Angela! He COW
cred his face with his hands to ward
off the spectres that hunted him
now. Macduff was stung at last to
suffering; alive as he had never
been alive before. This, then, was
the way that Angela had felt about
Lovat, and Jenny about Rumford,
and Joan about Dick. 1t was essler.

In desperation he went to the
window and looked out at Gramer-
cy Park, a sight that had often

Angela's thoughts were centered
on Macduff, who was looking pro-
foundry miserable. She hated to
leave him. Such a good friend, such
a good companion! Her black
gloved hand touched his sleeve.
"Macduff, I think we must say

"Not goodbye, Angela" His lips
were stiff with cold.

to hear him say: 'Dick, this is Pat

He saw Johnny's father catch her

joan was dead, but things did
not end there. He must rouse Dick
Charlton, who was obviously the
person to handle this. A knock on
his door brought Dick out, his book
still in his hand.
Come quick, Charlton" said
Macduff, "Joan Foster is dead. She
jumped into the pool. 1t was drain
ed, for landing tomorrow"
For once in his life, words
tumbled from Macduff's lips with
out deliberation. His eyes were
bloodshot behind the impersonal
glare Of his spectacles. Dick went
white and caught at his ARM. With
out a word he followed Macduff
across the corridor and passed from
brilliant light into the darkness of
the pool. Briefly he hung over the
edge, then covered his face with
his hand. Macduff stretched out
an arm and gripped him round the
shoulders.
''It's all right, old man," he said,
realizing that the girl had meant
something in Charlton's life. "It
would have been hell for her, had
she lived"
"She came to my room tonight. I
shut the door in her face" The
words were squeezed through
Dicks closed teeth. He pulled him.

ficer. II must report at once to
Captain Barring" he said, automati-
caliy.
Once more Dick looked at Joan,
whose pale body was moving softly
with the rise and fall of the boat.
Her rhinestones shone like cats eyes
through the green gloom. A dark
trickle spread over the tiles.
Macduff went down to his cabin,
which was as austere as when he had
