for me here at ten tomorrow, Cliff.
We're going off somewhere to talk
together. It's good-by, of course.
After you're married, I'm going to
New York, If they'll send me, and
Larry won't be back until late au-
tumn. Well never see each other
again"
"You poor kid" Cliff said in sud-
den sympathy. Its not your fault
1t had to be Larry you liked! It's
rotten for you'll"
TOny's face wrinkled, and her lip
shook; she looked away, swallow
ing with q dry throat. She said
nothing.
They sat in the parked car
and stared out at the sea that was
yelled and gray under the fog. 1t
was the quietest hour of the MORN
ing; Tony and Larry had the beach
to themselves.
rs Ruth bitter about 1t, Larry?'
ION the contrary, she doesn't see.
or she won't admit, anything to
be bitter about. She's very happy
and very affectionate, and CRATE
full to me for going along, and sure
I'll love 1t all!
"She's taken that position" Tony
said, In q hard voice.
"She's yes. She's taken that
position"
The girls voice was gentler, her
blue eyes Swallowed, when she
spoke again.
"But she knows we love. each
other?"
"She never had said so. She
talks Of what the best thing Is for
all Of US. For me, and for you
for all Of u.s."
"Poor Ruth" Tony said; "what
other attitude can she take. unless
she wants to let you go?"
Caroline and Mrs. Patterson
help her to keep 1t up"
"Keep up"
'The- well, the little fiction that
the whole thing isis just some
thing to be hushed up and forgiven
and forgotten"
Forgiven and forgotten!" Tony
said, with the proud color In her
face.
'They seem to feel that there Is
no question that I like you too
much and you like me to much"
Larry said. ''But since It's Larry
and Tony, they must be protected
and excused. Larry's like that, and
poor little Tony didn't know what
she was letting herself In for. what
gossiping tongues would make Of
itv
II suppose so," Tony said dryly.
Does Ruth believe it,"
Ruth always believes what she
wants to believe. Yes, she believes
It. AS far as she's concerned It's
true. Much the best thing for all
concerned Is for us to hush 1t up,
and 60 away"
Tony made no comment She
had taken of her white hat; her
dark uncovered hair lay In loose
rings and sprays against the mans
shoulder. He could look down and
see the smooth clear tan Of her
cheek, where the fine down Of q
peach showed against the white
light of the strange muffled day,
and the lowered thick dark eye
lashes, and the curve Of her fine
wide mouth. Tony again was In
white today; but her loose soft
coat was brown, and the small
square pumps braced against the
foot rest were brown, too. Larry
frightened his arm about her shoui-
ders.
SIT won't be forever, Tony"
"No. Somehow - somewhere
the roads will come together again."

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 dN.sJ.
-Four Of the Negro youths in the

For each saddle or pack animal
Mullan urged. "a hackamore, a picket
of some popular liniment. If travelling
by wagon, a jackscrew, extra tongue,
a coupling pole, axle grease, a Ratchet
and nails, auger, rope, Irvine, and one
or two chains for wheel locking and
one or two extra whippletrees."
He rave detailed instructions for
travelling by saddle horse or pack train,
and recommended that "horseS should
be regularly watered, morning. noon
and night; never should be maltreated
but should be governed as you would
caresses, and you will be repaid by
their docility and easy management"
Is Main Tours
Mullan advised starting each day at
dawn and pitching camp not later
than 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He
said that nothing should be taken on
the trip except what was absolutely
necessary.
In contrast to the Mullan guide the
Montana state guide gives a complete
story in words, pictures and maps of
10 main tours over paved or improved
highways, and many side tours and

railway route on the west slope is
identical with the Mullan road. All
tours in the new guide 60 from west
to east. The guide will give informa-
ton IN points of interest, mileage,
road intersections and accommodations.
The new guide cites places where
saddle horses and pack trains are
available for trail trips and warnings
of steep grades for motor travel. There
are warnings against rattlesnakes and
-Spotted-fever carrying wood ticks.
Montana is now spanned with a
network of modern highways, while
the Mullan road is obliterated, not only
from the memories of all but the oldest
pioneers" Byron Crane, acting director
of the Federal Writer'S project. stated.
But Mullan's book, the first guide to

Tourist travel in Montana around
1860 and 1887 shows a striking con-

wood, water and grass; now he watches
for gas, hamburgers and parking
space.

 West now led a trump, but 1t was too late. South won with the 10. Then he laid down the queen of hearts. West passed this, hoping that 1t would be ruffed in dummy, but a club was discarded and the queen held the trick.
 A low heart was led next, and ruffed in dummy. Declarer cashed the king of clubs and returned to his own hand by ruffiing a diamond.
 The ace of clubs was cashed and, when the queen dropped, the hand was safe. South led his high heart and now West could only win two more tricks, not enough to defeat the contract.
