 Goodbye" he said steadily. T said from the first you were a good trouper I know 1t now"
 She tried to smile. Some of the numbness in her face seemed to melt. Her eyes spoke for her as she shook his hand.
 walk every day. Drink milk. Eat nourishing food-lots of it.
 Like a dutiful patient. Mary swung into his routine. She was now building toward a definite goal and everything she did in gaining new strength was step toward it. When Dr. O'Connell came back from France, she must be in perfect condition to undergo the treatment that might restore her features.
 When that was done, she would find Vincent and all the past could be plotted out. Gilbert Lenox was her benefactor and she bore his name. But she was as impatient to free him from this bond, as he would be to be free of it. She knew 1t had been pity - nothing more - that had persuaded him to help her.
 Letter for you, Nam"
 It was Mrs, Simmons. the land- lady. She held out an official look ing envelope.
 "Oh, thanks - this is, this must be from my husband" It was the first time Mary had said the word and 1t sounded queer in her ears.
 It wasn't from Gilbert. It was merely an official communication from the war ministry with a check enclosed Gilbert's pay check.
 The stout British landlady was still very much in evidence after Mary had read the form letter.
 "1s everything all right at the front with the doctor?" Mrs. Sim- mons asked.
 "Oh, yes, quite all right" Mary's voice was listless.
 Mrs. Simmons was not entirely satisfied. She pretended to polish furiously at the tiles on the hearth as she went on, T have said many times, I have indeed, that a finer gentleman never lived than Dr. Lenox, American or not"
 That's very kind of you"
 And if I may may say so, you're looking much better yourself these days. Not so peaked. Mind, that terrible shipwrecking of the Mo- ravia by the submarine, would be enough to make a body look peaked for the rest of their lives"
 When she had gone, Mary Car roll stared at the check. So cold, so impersonal. There had been no let terter yet from Gilbert - instead, this reminder that he was doing his duty toward her.
 The spirit of independence that had driven her once to fight for a chance to earn her living as a fashion designer - that had made her a perfectly independent young person in Paris-rose again with in her.
 T won't take his money" she stammered, half aloud. T won't If he'd written - if he'd made some gesture to show he was not acting out of pity for me, Tonight have accepted it. But not now"
 The lodgings were paid for until spring. Some of the money Gil- bert had given her before their wedding, still remained. Her needs had been small.
 With her dishgured face, Mary Carroll might not be able to find a job - but perhaps she could still earn enough through her drawing so she would not have to touch Gilbert's checks. Resolutely, she went out to buy drawing paper pencils, and charcoal.

In spite of the fact that the pie turization of Victor Hugo's immor- tai classic "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" has been shown daily at the Warner Bros. State theater since "wednesday there are still thousands of Waterburians who have not had the opportunity to be thrilled and amazed by this outstanding produc- ton.
 In view of this condition Manager Julia Smith takes pleasure in an- nouncing that the entire show will be held over for three extra days or until final performances Tues day evening.
 Here is the one picture you can't miss seeing. Big beyond description: wondrous beyond comparison and thrilling beyond belief 1t is really the most amazing spectacle to hit the screen in e decade and one of the mightiest epics that's ever come out of Hollywood.
 Starring Charles Laughton, one of the worlds most distinguished char acter players, the production boasts @ record cast of $500 including 100 principals headed by such superb players as Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Thomas Mitchell, Maureen OHara, Edmond O'Brien, Alan Marshal, Walter Hampden and Katharine Alexander.
 Rarely has the screen seen such astounding spectacle, thrill-filled adventure and exciting romance as is achieved in this version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Here is without question a triumph of triumphs for Hollywood and a sen- sation-packed, spectacle-laden mo- ton picture no one should dare miss. Plan to SC 1t at the State over the weekend.
 Rounding out the program will be the latest events of the world as brought to the screen by Paramount News and a delightful selection of short subjects.
 Following in the wake of this great picture is the new full-length animated cartoon in technicolor, "Gulliver's Travels" which opens at the State on Wednesday. Deviat- ing only slightly from the original story, the "Gulliver" is reported to contain all the bright fantasy, broad humor and romance that made the English classic one of the best-loved and most widely read books of all time.

Millions of words had been written about London in wartime. Newspapers and periodicals had been filled with cartoons and drawings of the grim side of Lon- don's blackouts and evacuations. In her daily walks, something in Mary Carroll's alert American eyes had seen something. else. A lighter, whimsical touch. Fashions had gone military. White helmets, white walking sticks, white gas masks boxes had been designed to show up clearly in the darkened city. Perhaps she could catch some of this lighter vein, some of this striving to laugh at war in her drawings.
 When her first group of sketches was finished Mary was thrilled with anticipation. They were not per- feet but she had a feeling they caught an atmosphere and a spirit. She packed them carefully and sent them, a few at a time, to some of the London shops, with notes ask- ing if they might be exhibited.
 The response was swift and heartening. Letters began arriv- ing, asking for prices and giving her orders.
 Days flew as she worked. Life began to shape anew. When the time came, if ever, she could go back to Vincent without being under a penny of financial obli- gation to Dr. Lenox. She hadn't yet touched one of his medical corps checks. What hurt most, of course, was that Gilbert hadn't written. She tried to forget 1t under the rush of creative work.
 One day she had a visitor.
 There was a knock on her door and opening 1t, Mary saw Lady Ponce-ToWnsend.
 How do you do," she managed to stammer. Come in."
 Lady Ponce-Townsend, Mary recalled, was the British dowager who'd outfltted the refugees from the Moravia and who had been SC active in war relief work.
 Lady Ponce Townsend smiled a harassed, toothy smile. My dear I've just heard of your marriage to Dr. Gilbert Lenox. Congratu- lations. But why haven't you let me know about your sketches? They're utterly stunning"
 Why, had no idea you would be interested"
 "Interestedl" Lady Ponce- Town send fairly boomed. If you have no objections I want to exhibit them in my Mayfair home. You will let me, of course!"

Much of Ataturk's success depended upon this small, quiet, entirely modern premier, who was the dictator's constant shadow. Together they won the battle of Sakkaria, driving the Greeks into the sea. At Inonu, Ismet won a second battle, gained his surname.
 Inonu also won smashing diplo- natic victories at Lausanne, and Tn uniting ancient enemies in the Balkan Pact, but his greatest suc- :esses were at home, where he helped Ataturk conquer years of tradition and custom to modern ize Turkey. As prime minister for IS years, he put into effect many of the dictator's policies. Education, industry, and democ- racy grew under his hand.
 Assassins have struck at him twice, but he has not faltered in his drive to bring Turkey up to date. Unlike Ataturk, who pre- ferred dizzy whirl of pleasure, Inonu is a model husband and father.

CHAPTER XVI

Gilbert was not looking at Mary as he gathered up his few things and put on his coat. His face, averted from hers, was impossible to read.
 Mary found she could not move or speak. Inside her was a strange hammering.
 T don't want him to go like this," she thought wildly, not un- derstanding or caring what made her feel as she did.
 His hands took her chill ones. Write to me often, will you?" The sound of his dear voice made her ache.
 "Yes - I'll write" She looked up at him. She tried to tell him in that last minute what he'd meant to her, now grateful she was from the bottom of her heart. But it

PARTY OFFICERS
ARE REELECTED
WITHOUT CONTEST
Republicans Choose Delegates
and Wind up Convention With
out Controversy on Offices.

Republican leaders of this coun-
ty, back home after the Republican
State convention and ready to be-
gin organization work for the
coming campaign, report that the
convention went off without bitter
contests or fractional differences
which have characterized many
party conventions.
All party officers were elected
without contest when the state
central committee met following
the convention. Four officers-Dr.
r. C. Radabaugh, Hastings, chair
man; William lR. Mitchell, Tracy,
vice-chairman, Waldo Hardell,
Minneapolis. treasurer, and Victor
]. Michaelson st. Paul, secretary
were reelected without opposition.
Mrs. M. L. Spencer, Winona, vice.
chairwoman, was named chair
woman, and Miss Marjory Thomp-
son, Baker, was made vice-chair-
woman.
Roy E, Dunn, Pelican Rapids,
will serve as national committee
man again, and Mrs. Chris Carlson,
Blue Earth, as national committee
woman. Delegates to the national
convention made the selection.
The only contests occurred in
the selection of the four delegates
at-large for the national conven-
ton. and this did not produce any
sharply drawn lines. Governor
Stassen, who is to give the keynote
address at the convention, was Sc
lected first as one of the delegates
at-large. In the balloting that
followed, w. S. Moscrip, Lake FL
mo, president of the Twin City
Milk Producers association and
prominent farmer; John w. Pad
den, Crookston, chairman of the
Young Republican League. and
Thomas M. McCabe, Duluth, for
mer state chairman of the party,
came out on top and won places
on the Minnesota delegation.
The state convention followed
the lead of the district conventions
and chose delegates without in
struction.
Minnesota's delegation to the
Republican national convention
now is complete. Eighteen dele
gates previously had been selected
by district conventions. The dis
trict delegates are:
