MARYLAND WANTS
DUKE AND WALLIS
Baltimore and Washington
Society All Agog-May-
be Over Nothing
By CHARLES p. STEWART

Washington, May 24.-Baltimore
and Washington are beginning to lose
patience with Prime Minister Stan
ley Baldwin of England.
Baltimore, especially, believes that
it has distinct proprietary interest
in Mrs. Wallis Warfield, soon to be-
come the Duchess of Windsor, and, a
little less directly in the duke, since
he is to wed one of it's daughters.
Ever since the Windsor-Warfield 70
nance began to be advertised Balti-
more-ans have had a notion that the
former king and his prospective bride
might come to live in their midst or
vicinity, in nearby Maryland. At least
they have entertained that hope. To
be sure, it has been denied that the
pair were negotiating for the pur-
chase of a Maryland estate, but Mary
landers have been unwilling to accept
denials as dependable. They think
that they may get the Windsors as
nieighbors.
WASHINGTON ALSO EAGER
No one has suggested that Wally
and her next husband-to-be may pick
Washington as their future place OF
residence.
However, Maryland is as much a
suburb of Washington as of Baltimore
Moreover, Mrs. Warfield (previous~
ly Simpson, is quoted as DESTROYS to
visit the national capital of the United
States. as well as her home town, to
introduce the duke to the society of
the two communities.
Now, are Washington's and Balti-
mores respective societies wishful
for such an introduction?
One guess is sufficient to answer
that query.
RUMORS RAISE PRICES
The presence of the duke and
duchess in it would make the Wash
ington-Baltimore area the social CEN
ter of the United States.
So society" thinks, anyway.
Realtors also think so. Believe it or
not, there has been a noticeable bulge
in the prices placed upon estates in
neighborhoods upon which the Wind
sors are rumored to have had an eye.
Perhaps in reality they have had no
such thought, but even the rumor has
been effective.
And suppose they do come here on
ly for a visit Who knows that it may
be made so pleasant for them that
they will decide to stay?

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

May "a, 1S19-The Duke of Kent,
told by a gypsy fortune-teller that he
would beget princess who would be
a great queen, had fastened with his
wife from Germany to England that
the child might be born in the coun-
try he was told she was to rule. When
Alexandrine Victoria was born she
seemed far removed from the throne,
but two childless uncles and her faith
er died and she became, in accordance
with the gypsy's prophecy, Victoria,
Britain's greatest queen.
With father who believed in gypsy
prophecies, it isn't strange that Queen
Victoria commanded that her dead
husbands clothing be laid out fresh
every evening, and water warmed for
his basin, every evening for 40 years!

The veins in Van Tambel's huge
neck swelled. Grabbing Bull with
his powerful hands, he fastened his
iron fingers on the old mans throat
and choked him pitilessly, pouring
on him as he did so a torrent of
curses heard by Quong.
Only by struggling for his very
life was Bull able to wriggle free
from the deadly grip. In doing so,
he fell backward to the ground
scrambled to his feet, and ran into
the barn.
1t was inside the barn that Bulls
voice was heard by the China boy
begging for mercy. "Why, Gus" he
urged, "Jane's a nice girl. Don't
take it so hard. I've worked for
you good many years, off an on.
You always found me honest, didn't
you?"
Van Tambel uttered no word. He
had pursued Bull to the farthest
corner Of an empty stall and, filed
with silent, murderous rage, caught
up broken wagon stake and
swung it over his head. Don't hit
me with that, Gus,'' cried the fright
ened man. A low, fearful impreca-
ton from Van Tambel answered
him.
"Now I'll give you what's comm
to you'll"
"Why, Gus, you amt a-goin' to

Granting and mad for blood, Van
Tambel struck st the cowboy and
rained blow after blow on him till

She met the onslaught quietly.
II told you wouldn't talk person
alities now, and I won't-so let's
go on"
For fortnight nothing further
occurred to break the routine of
ranch work, and McCrossen said no
more. The general impression in
town was that Denison, as far as
Jane was concerned, was out of the
running.
No excitement occurred in Sleepy
Cat until one day John Lefever was
reported arrived at Thief River with
a herd of cattle for the reservation.
SAVOY, who had gone to work at
Gunlock when Lefever left for Tex
as, rode down to Thief River to
help Lefever check the herd in at
Gunlock Agency and to give him
the big Sleepy Cat news.
But Lefever, too, brought news.
The two cronies sat down to COM
pare notes.

DULL PAGE was only a broken
- cowboy, but Bull was loved at
Sleepy Cat.
Yet even resentment at the name
of Van Tambel in Sleepy Cat was
softened somewhat when men heard
Of James unremitting attention at
Bulls side in the hospital.
To James infinite relief. Bull re-
covered and went back to Gunlock.
At the ranch there was an air Of
cheer when Jane was installed; ev-
erybody on tiptoe to render serv-
ice. McCrossen was especially eager
to please.
swell, Jane, / guess you know
whatever I can do to take care of
things is goin' to be done, twenty
four hours a day If need be-" he
said. "All you have to do is to
leave it to me-"
II shall depend on you for every
thing" she returned.
Everything, Jane?" he echoed.
Jane was not caught. Everything
connected with running the ranch"
she said evenly.
But 1t became increasingly evil
dent as the days went by that the
energetic foreman still regarded
himself as sutton.
One morning they were riding to-
gether in the hills when McCros-
sen opened up the subject.
Its whale Of ranch, Jane,
it certainly is, an with thousand
things to look after. You're left
here alone now, girl. Why not take
on a mate to help you run it? You
an l have had some little differ
ences, 1 know, but nothin to
amount to anything. Why couldn't
you an l settle down here to run
things together? If you'd say the
word, Jane"
Jane raised her hand. "Oh, /
know, Dave. but I've got too much
to worry about to think about get
ting married"
"But / know the big ranch so
we'll. know how your father ran
it. Don't you like me, Jane?"
why, Dave, have only kind
feelings for you-but can't talk
personal matters now"
Look here, Jane" he said ag-
gressively,. lis there another man
you've got In your mind?"
