but the opportunity was lost
The platoon was moved back TO the
vicinity Of the bridge at the mill
and reported to the battalion com
mander, Captain Thomas H. Horri-
gan. Captain Horrigan directed
Lieut.. Rigney to place his platoon
on truck and station wagon that
was there and move up to the juno

made clever march taking every
advantage OF the high ground inter-
vening and placed themselves In q
position where they made 1t neces-
sary for the howitzer platoon which
was defending the crossroad, to
retire.
For the excellent piece OF work
they were commended by the in
speeding officers Of the regular army
who were checking, Majors Sherman
and Spear. The LIST Battalion then
took over the advance guard work
and we moved on TO the junction
OF the Brides Lake and Saybrook
roads where we boarded trucks and
rode back to camp where we had
dinner at about 2 o'clock. The menu
for the Chatfield Guard was for
today:
BREAKFAST
Baked pork sausage

Sliced Peaches
Bread, jam, coffee
DINNER

The I'd Battalion will clear the
main gate by truck at 7 a. m. to-
morrow and go to Stones Ranch
where they will take up defen-

THE SINGLETON HABIT

WHEN THE bidding has given
no clear clue to the side suits in
the declarer's and dummy's hands,
a singleton is a pretty risky lead.
Isn't that suit more likely to be
declarers side length than any
ether suit in which you hold more
cards? Of course. if you have the
ace and another trump, or the king
and a couple of others, you may
later be able to stop the trump run
and then throw your partner in

you may be taking an unsound

FORCES DEAL
ON FORT PECK 0WE

WASHINGTON, D.. c. (Special)-
Congressman Jerry J.. O'Connell last
week forced the House leadership
into an agreement to call the Fort
Peck Power Bill up for consideration
during the present session of Con-
gress under suspension of the rules.
O'Connell accomplished this by
Directing to the bill being passed
over without prejudice in the House
last week when it appeared on the
calendar for consideration.
Twice before the bill has been
passed over, but when the same
trick was tried again, O'Conneli's
fighting Irish asserted itself and
he objected so strenuously that Ma
jority Leader Sam Rayburn prom
ised that the bill would be consid-
cred under a suspension of the rules
during the present session.
Congressman O'Connell who was
the first person to ever introduce a
bill calling for installation of public
power at the Fort Peck dam has
been a constant fighter for power
projects for Montana.

The defense presented about Is
WPA and relief workers as wit
nesses, in addition to three of the
defendants. Their testimony put the
relief setup through a complete air
ing, They described the continuous
refusals of the commodities officials
to their requests for clothing in the
cold of winter, Raymond Richard
son, secretary of the Great Falls
local of the Workers Alliance, stated
that he saw children coming from
school crying because of the cold
and their lack of warm clothing.
Mrs. Carr, mother of five children,
was refused a quilt because she had
received mi on a previous occasion.
All her children we're down with
chicken pox. Her husband died on
Dec. IL after living on a diet of soup
and apples for three days.
One witness, George Spiro, testi-
fled that he had been refused a quilt
and had been forced to sleep on the
floor of an unventilated basement
in potato sacks for a month.
Defendants Testify
The testimony of Henry Murray,
the first of the defendants called to
the stand, summed up the grievances
of all the other defense witnesses.
He described the relief conditions in
Cascade County in which relief COM
modities were withheld from the
needy. He listed the law evasions
as (l) Lack of right of appeal; (2)
Refusal to pay cash relief; (3) Lack
of adequate medical service; az Re
lief not issued in accordance with
reasonable standards of health and
decency; (5) Need was not the de-

lief; (6) There was no fair and inn
partial hearing on grievances.

They would suppress the unconven-
tional details of his death. 1t would
be just "a riding accident" in the
Philadelphia papers, made to sound
as respectable as if it happened at
Old Westbury or Meadowbrook. They
would never tell his wife any details.
She wept for Eustace then, in the dark
ness of the road.
Beside her Keith pretended not to
notice the tears, but said: "I'll drive
for you, Felicia if you're tired"
She stopped. They changed seats.
and went on again in silence, while he
thought of how far those tears had
brought him back.
In the dark driving on, Felicia's
shoulder beside him carefully not
touching his, memory came to him of
driving beside Denise, in the dark,
just few days before her wedding,
in air colder than this soft air. Even
he could remember some of their
words:
She had said: "I was pretending,
Keith, that there were no minutes be-
yond these minutes
He had said: "Go on pretending,
dearest. Why not?"
He thought of the autumn, and he
thought of the winter, and Felicia in
a long chair on a terrace in Bermuda,
a moonlit terrace overlooking a dark
sea, when he had said to Felicia of
her sister: "She won't came back. I
was fool to dream she would"
And then he had said. "You and
remain"
Had he believed that quite, that
night in Bermuda? Whether he had
believed that then or not, it had come
true. He and she remained.
He did then the bravest thing in his
life. He said to Felicia in a voice
warm as-as it could have been if he
had been telling the truth to Denise:
"You must always be sure, because
it's so, that it's you love-"
She leaned against his shoulder
then, just lightly.
He thought: "When we get to Lon
don, I must convince Father of the
same thing!"
And keep Felicia sure, all the long

dollar denominations, being passed on
the Eastern Shore and also against
bogus travellers checks which have
been passed in several towns.
The bills, said to be excellent re-

not coming from a single source, in
dicating that they are being passed
by accident by tourists who do not
realize they are spurious.
The travellers checks, printed in
imitation of the genuine ones, bear
in some cases the names of non-exis-

! that, because she's reactIng too sharp
ly. When she's a little older she'll
be tolerant again, but wisely tolerant,
not just tolerant out of her own un-
certainties."
"When she's a little older" He
thought those words, and the years
for him and Denise stretched out a.
head rich years of companionship, of
love, of sureness Of each other.
Triumph surged over him; then kind
of grief for that poor devil for whom
it was all ended on the rocks at the
foot of a canon, even brief for his
lovely wife, who would never be able
to break through her own veneer to
face herself again - stopped his
triumph.
"Have you finished with us yet
Denise?" Keith asked. His drawn
face was looking ten years older. Gil
bert knew too well how he was feel
ing. He had come sufficiently near
losing Denise himself. No use to pro
long it.
He moved, put his arm round his
wife's slim waist, and said: "Say good
night now, Denise DEAR"
Her blue eyes with their wet, thick
lashes, turned to him. "What ever
you want, Gilbert, always, after this.
But let me finish now what have be-
gun. don't want to say good night
to you, Felicia, or you, Keith. want
to say good-by. Not because I'm rag
ing with you now. That went past
quickly.
"But we haven't anything to say to
one another. We shall all live thru
this dreadful hour. In a long time
we shall be all more or less as we
were before. suppose though now
that seems incredible to me. After
that long time,, perhaps I can remem-
Der that you were my dear sister Fe-
icia, and Keith some one with whom
I was young and happy long ago. Yet
if you don't go away, now, tonight
i can't can"
Keith helped her. "You can't be-
gin to go on with your own life, in
which we shall have no part. Well,
Felicia, will you drive me to London
in the roadster r?"
She looked from face to face. She
smiled at Keith. "At once, my DEAR"
She went out of the room, her hand
on his arm.
But on the dark London road driv-
ing steadily northward Felicia thought
not of him at all, but of Eustace, for
whom she would never outwardly
grieve, because she had no right, hav-
ing done what she had done. She
thought of the silliest things-the
click, clack of Eustace's riding-boots
in the hall outside her doorway, that
sound which had grown familiar thru
the thousand mornings of her married
life. Sound which had made her so
impatient, though she could not re-
member why except that she thought
1t would go ON forever and ever click,
clack In her life 1t would not go on
forever.
Now that he was dead, his family
would take charge, would bury Eus-
tace Gardiner Dayne and put nothing
on his tombstone that would tell that
he had ever preferred a redhaired wife
