you're going to be! You believed Tippy
was with me that night you were
brought to the hospital, didn't you?
You thought that as soon as you were
out Of the way we began an affair. I'M
mediately you visioned all sorts of
ugly, horrid things. didn't you? But
did you stop to think that because
Tippy was your brother lied for
him? That was the exquisite little
brunette who has the apartment be-
low Lees and whose husband was
transferred a few weeks ago to Ha-
waii is mad about Tippy? That Tippy
was in love with her his youngster
year-so much so he forgot math and
f1unked out of the academy because of
her? Ted, Tippy was with her that
night. And what nice scandal that
would have been II hadn't told my
small white lie!"
A vivid flush rose to Ted's hollow
cheeks and something a little more
than relief lighted his face. It was
the look of man suddenly reprieved
from the grave. He held out his arms
and she went into them, her cheek,
cool and soft and sweet, next to his
burning one. No doubts now, no pain
in any of the memories that had tor
tured him. They could not touch his
confident young heart.
Her voice was silken whisper in
his ear: "Oh. Ted, darling. love you
sol" But she thought: why did lie
to him? Just because he refused to
see me and returned my letters, sup
pose my vanity was piqued and fooled
myself into believing wanted to win
him back. But had never really lost
him, and now he'll be a worse nui-
sance than ever! I wish I hadn't
come! Tippy's far better company and
suppose as long as I live shall be
drawn irresistibly to freshness-inex-
perience-that kind of youthful i'm
maculacy that men like Tippy and
most Navy officers seldom lose"
All at once Ted caught virginia's 8
shoulders in his hands, crushing the
violet corsage. His heart was pound
ing and his breath was short in his
throat. but he managed to say: When
will you marry me?"
Virginia wriggled slowly out of his
grip. She lit q cigarette. drew on it
and sat looking at him through q
veil Of smoke, her scarlet-tipped nm
gers curled around the white cylinder
She said then: Look here, Ted, we'll
have this out once and for all. And
you're never to bring up the subject
again. love you, but I don't want to
marry you"
Ted sat staring at her, bewildered,
puzzled, making nothing Of it.
But if you love mel don't UNDER
stand, Virginia"
Perhaps not"
you've got to explain!" That
tenseness in his voice now. That dark
ening of his eyes and the grim line
Of his mouth.
She met his eyes then, her own
green pools Of ice. yes, will ex-
plain" she said evenly. you know
I've been married twice, but you prob
ably don't know that I married the
first time for love. We were both very
young and desperately poor. It's the
same old story-a two-room fat.

"And then I met q man with all
kinds of money-an old man-who
didn't care whether loved him or not.
I went to Paris with him and he got
me q divorce. But when I married
him I couldn't take 1t. I divorced
him, too, and here I am. And as long
as I don't remarry Till have $500 a
month alimony. Now you know and
I suppose you hate me for It,"
He said, his voice cold: YES, think
do. Putting price on love-"
mot q price on love, Ted-on mar

But, you see. I happen to want to
marry you. 1t would have to be mar
riage or nothing"
Suddenly Virginia laughed. That's
ridiculous It's mid-Victorian. What's
to stop us?"
Ted's eyes blazed, his fingers closed

During that strangely tense moment

MONEY SPENT FOR EDTIr1~,,
SHOWS MARKED DECpTr'IIsI

In the school year 1934-35 Mn
otana public schools spent a mil
lion dollars more money with g.
257 fewer pupils attending on the
average than in the previous year.
In addition to spending an extra
million the schools increased, by
another million dollars, their cash
balances for reserve to carry them
from September to December when
the new tax money starts coming
in. At the beginning of the school
year 1934-35 the total amount of
cash balance on hand for all
schools in the state was $3,315,517.
At the close of the year and the
start of the present year the cash
value was $4,455, $50.
Property taxes levied for schools
in the current year are slightly
less than for last year and the
state public school fund available
mately $1,5O0,0O0 delinquent tax
collections, should make possible
greatly reduced levies next year.
Unless the temptation to spend
the increased revenues becomes
too strong for the school people
to withstand.
Expenditures, after a steady de-
cline from over $15,000,00 in 1881
to a little less than $10,000,000 in
1893 are again on the upgrade.
The reduction was necessary to
bring school budgets within the
available income that declined at
rate corresponding to shrinkage
in property values. Last year
school expenditures increased just
about a million dollars while prop
erty values remained the same.
From 1881 to 1888 average daily
attendance at Montana high schools
increased from 24,189.5 to 28, 426.6
but last year there was slight
decline. At the same time, the de-
cline in elementary school average
daily attendance was quite mark
ed, dropping from 82,198.7 in 1881
to 73,283.1 in 1885.
In Sheridan county the average
daily attendance in the elementary
schools in 1881 was 2,046.4; in
1884 1922; in 1885 1922; while
for high school it was ACT in 1881;
STU in 1884; and 605.7 in 1885.
The operating costs for the ele-
mentary schools in 1881 amounted
to $189,363; in 1884 S122,579; IN
1885 $132,824; and for high school
$57, $3.50 in 1881; $34,902 in 1884;
and $35, 209 in 1886. The operat-
ing costs for each high school pu-
pill in 1884 amounted to $60.47; in
1885 $58.13. The total of all bal
ances on hand for all schools in
the county at the beginning of the
school year 1934-35 was S3O,967;
at the beginning of the. present
school year $54,239. The large
aomunt of delinquent taxes col
lected this year and the state aid
for transportation places the
school funds of most districts in
such excellent financial condition
that by carefully keeping within
budgets districts may be able to
operate for lower tax levies next
year. The combined levies for all
schools in the county call for
Sol ,582 in comparison with $685.
O86 for the previous year.
