VIII DO lllS DcSt

 Shepard, who will preside over the sctate Senate, will succeed D. James l.. McConaughy, president of Wes- leyan university, with whom he waged one of the sprightliest strug- gles in the campaign.
 This was the Trinity college pro- fessor's first fling at politics. He said he entered the campaign only because he felt it was time for writ. ing men and teachers to desert theil 'Ivied walls" and ivory towers"

"I'm breaking the unWrltter
law taking you away from tina
bird, or so I've been given to un
derstand." he said with grin,
II can stand it if you can make
your pe:ce with your flancee,
she stammered.
Tony glanced at Priscilla Wh'
was glowering at them. DO you
believe everything you hear?" he
asked lazily. 1--WE never got
around yet to asking any woman
to be my wife"
Janet had an Infatuated convic-
ton that he was amusing himself
at her expense. Il don't believe
Priscilla would take everything
for granted unless she had some
thing pretty definite to 60 on,
she said holly.
Don't you?" drawled Tony Ry-
an as if he did not care at all
what she believed.
The bridge game of the older
guests broke up at eleven when
Mr.. Henry Leigh announced with
a bleak smile that it was time for
all good people to be in bed. Nor
ma protested that it was barely
the shank of the evening and
Priscilla, preparing to dance
again with Tony, agreed with her.
NATURALLY the young folks
aren't ready to co." murmured
Mrs. Leigh and smiled poisonous
ly at Anne. ''That's our penalty
for getting on"
Annie smiled. '"I must admit
we're not so skittish as we were. "
She rose and Myra clutched
Jim's arm. "You can't run off and
leave me odd man."
"I've got to take my mother
home. said Jim firmly and add
ed under his breath, "thank the
Lord!"
I'm taking Mrs. Phillips
home, observed Steve Hill pleas
antly.
But" protested Jim, looking
blank and crestfallen.
To his surprise Tony Ryan
without a chance of expression
kicked Jim violently in the shin
and tossed bunch of keys at
Steve Hill. "Use my car" he said.
Thanks" said Steve and
reached for Anne's short silver
brocaded evening wrap
She was laughing softly when
he tucked her into Tony's elon-
geted black and silver machine.
"Pm afraid you've made an enc
my of Jennie Leigh" she said.
"She doesn't approve of middle
aged widows who can still wear
a size sixteen dress"
Steve smiled and put the big
coupe in motion. From the way
you look now you were a mere
child when your husband died.
Il was twenty-nine."

mo. There were several men
who tried to be nice to me after
I'd been widowed a couple of
years." explained Anne.
"Jim wasn't quite thirteen at
the time. He began to act strange
ly. He's always thought me per-
feet, but he took to staying away
from home as much a spossible.
Berenice on the other hand
Stunned her playmates. Janet was
crying when I came home from
the store one night. She told me
that all the kids at school were
making fun of her and Jim and
Berenice. The other children had
invented a song, you know how
children do, and they chanted it
at my children every time they
got a chance. Something to the
effect: Your mothers got beau!
Jim and Berenice's mother has
got a beau-o!"

There were sixteen around the
Poole dinner table-a table that
glittered with thin crystal and
fine silver and cleaning damask.
The centerpiece of exquisite pink
asters completely screened Jim
from Janet's view, but she did
not need to see her brothers face.
She knew exactly how furious he
was, wedged in between the opu-
lent and extremely decollete fig
ure of Mrs. Henry Leigh on one
side and the gurgling Myra West
on the other.

INJURED Gordon Key.
Anne was having a marvellous
time. She did not believe anyone
could fail to be plucked out of
the doldrums if Stephen Hill
took a notion to dispel them.
Down the table Priscilla was
leaning a little forward in order
to transfix Janet with a peculiar
ly brilliant smile. Darling" she
said in a high, carrying voice. Il
do hope you are doing right by
our house."
Janet's hand had frightened on
her glass. So they are engaged,
Priscilla and Tony, she really is
going to marry him and live in
my house, Janet was thinking. All
around the table there was one
of those CHASTITY silences that hap
pen even in the best society.

said Janet at last in a slow pain
full voice, exactly what you'd ex-
pect of your dream house, Pris-
ella"
Priscilla looked up into Tony
Ryan's inscrutable blue eyes. II
suspect it's all right" she said.
Il mean I could go for anything
that includes Tony"
"Sure," he murmured with an
ironical grin.
Janet turned a little blindly to
Gordon. "You asked me if I'd
save you every other dance" she
said quite loudly, "I'd love to"
Thanks" murmured Gordon in
a startled voice. They danced to
the radio. Janet wondered miser-
ably why she had promised Cor
don so many dances. He had
asked her for them and she had
refused. That was why he looked
startled when she changed her
mind, but she was certain that
everyone present believed she
had invented the request in or
der to clamp Gordon to her side.
Janet went on dancing with
Gordon, wretchedly self-conscious
because her friends beamed every
time they looked at her in his
embrace. Not one of them would
have cut in for the world, but
Tony Ryan did without even a
by-you-leave. He merely tapped
Gordon on the shoulder and

RoiIroods Heavy
Users of Montana
Timber Products


MISSOULA, Jan. 30.-The rail-
roads annually requiring 81 mill
lion board feet of lumber, including
sawed ties and timbers, are the
largest consumers of sawed material
in the State of Montana. So states
a report released this week by c.
N. Whitney and S. Blair Hutchinson
of the Northern Rocky Mountain
Forest and Range Experiment Sta
ton. Prepared by the forest sur
vey this report analyses the con-
sumption of all timber products in
this region.
During the average year total
of 218 million board feet of sawed
material is consumed in the state.
Farms rank next to the railroads
annually using SO million board feet
and the mining industry next with
an annual total of almost 43 mil
lion feet. The box and millwork in
dustries, nonfarm building, state and
county highway work, federal re-
uuirements, and public utilities rep
resent the other major types OF use
making up the 2l8 million board
1oOl AOkdAs
Not included in these estimates
/, were the more or less abnormal re-
euirements at the Fort Peck Dam
between October l, 1888 and Janu-
arv |, 1889. During this period Al
million board feet of lumber were
used at the dam, 33 million feet be-
ling used in actual construction o.
the dam and the remainder for con.
struction of office buildings ane
dwellings.
Lumber represents only part O
the consumption covered by this re
port which contains estimates fo
all of the major timber products
According to Mr.. r. K. Winters
regional chief of the forest survey
this is the first attempt to estimate
Montana timber product needs OF
so comprehensive a scale. He state
in the II pages Of this report W
have endeavored to do more thai
record the volume of the timbe
product consumption. An effort ha
,, been made to analyze the factor
contributing to the trends in us'
1t is but one part Of the big flores
survey job of fact finding for ir
telligent planning in the manage
7 ment of the forest resource.
