ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Sept.
14.-Representative j. ]. Dempsey
maintained substantial and
steadily growing lead tonight in his
Democratic primary battle with
Senator Dennis Chavez, on the basis
of unofficial and incomplete returns
from about an eighth of the States
914 voting divisions.
The white-thatched Representa-
tive, champion of the Hatch Act in
the House, increased his lead for the
Senate nomination slowly as returns
from the long State ballot trickled

Returns from 126 of the 914 voting
divisions gave Mr.. Dempsey 10,785,
Senator Chavez 1923.
Gov. John E. Mines, seeking Dem
ocratic denomination for second
term, was making a runaway race
against his predecessor in Office,
Mayor Clyde Tingley of Albu-
.querque. Returns from 127 voting
divisions gave Gov Miles 1882, Mr..
Tingley 5,998.
On the Republican side, Albert K
Mitchell, Harding County stockman
and Willkie enthusiast, was running
far ahead of former Gov. R. C.
Dillon, Townsenuite, for the sena-
torial nomination, and Maurice
Miera of Socorro grasped a mar
rowed advantage over Seth Aston,
Lovington banker, for the gov
ernorship.
The figures: AZ divisions: Mr.. Dill
lon, 1879; Mr.. Mitchell, 621. 81 divi-
sions: Mr.. Miera, 5O2; Mr.. Aston,
259.
Former Attorney General Frank
Patton jumped into a quick lead in
the ne-candidate race for Dem
ocratic nomination to the House
seat vacated by Mr.. Dempsey.
The figures, from AZ divisions:
Mr.. Patton, 1907; Lake Frazier,
Lat; Clinton Anderson, 1, ,OO7; Floyd
Kennedy, 40; S. L. Burton, 90;

LINDA AVERY, receptionist at a

starts to rebuild her romance

SARAH MARLEY, wealthy

the door opens.

1t seemed to Linda later that the
stage had been set for drama be-
fore that low and ominous knock
rang against the door. There was
a great fire in the fireplace, the
dark red curtains were drawn at
the long windows. and the only
lights in the wide room came from
the play of freight on the copper
coffee set, the brass platter ana
eandlesticks on the shelf above the
fire, and the lambert shadows on
the smooth floor.
Rob put down his coffee cup and
stood up as the door swung open.
Linda waited. She knew, even be-
fore the woman who entered
spoke, that she must be Nina New
ms, the actress, who had confused
a past devotion with Rob's uncle
with a love for him.
Hello, Nina" Rob said, but a
muscle twitched at the corner of
his mouth. Wont you have some
coffee?" Then, slowly, Il don't
think you know Miss Avery"
Nina Nevins was not tall, but
her carriage was superb, and it
seemed to Linda that she grew
and grew while her dark eyes took
in the scene. Her black hair was
worn in wings that covered her
ears and her evening coat was a
wild, stormy gray-green.
.:Of course l know Miss Avery"
she said at last, in the voice that
had bewitched theatergoers for so
many years. Linda, isn't it? She
has a balcony and you did a van
ishing act down there one night.
Miss Avery, this boy is the most
unpredictable person. He makes
up his mind to one thing in the
moonlight and changes it at noon.
But men, you know" She
shrugged her slim shoulders and
accepted the demi-tasse the ser
want handed her.
I've seen you play" Linda an
swered. You were SO wonderful.
But I didn't quite think we ever
would meet like this"
Like this? Aspirants for the
same mans love?" The actress
voice was low, silken, clogged with
something subtle and dangerous.
Life is strange, my dear"
Nina, you're being an awful
FOOL Rob said then. Linda is
just a neighbor and she thinks
about as much of me as she does
of the mailman. She's doing time
for somebody else"

herself saying. "Rob's a darling

Instantly Linda was sorry for
her aloofness. She smiled and a

cheek. I'm an awful prig," she
said. II do think I'd better go

She hurled her minute coffee cup

for the coffee pot and, before Rob
could stop her, she had thrown it
to the floor. A low pewter bowl OF

Upper County
Citizens Body
Holds Meeting
Will Intensity Work In
Designated Area - Hears
Road Report OF Whites
Ferry Project

Feeling that more effort should
be stressed in concentrated area,
members of the Upper Montgom-
cry County Citizens Association
this week designated border line
in which intensification of work
will be conferred.
Byron Thompson, chairman of
the demarcation COMMITTEES report
ed that an imaginary line would
be drawn from Hyattstown in, the
western end through Middlebrook
and terminating at Blockhouse on
the Potomac. The territory in
cluded in this boundary and the
Frederick county line would be the
natural concentration center for
the association, although, members
pointed out, activities at large
would include the western and
northern sections of Montgomery
county. Other members of the
committee are William A. Daniel,
Charles Elgin and Charles Jami-
son.
Of special interest to the Pooles-
vile delegates was the roads COM
mittee report on the proposed
Whites Ferry road improvement.
It was pointed out that recently
enacted Legislation provided for
bond issue of $4,000 to construct
nine-foot cement road with three
foot Stag shoulders. Subsequent
investigation showed that only 10
miles Of the three-mile unimproved
stretch could be paved at that
price, the committee reported.
Poolesville representatives pointed
out that the consensus of opinion
in the third district was for a ma
cadam road. Roads committee
chairman Charles Jamison reported
that 3-mile 12-foot macadamized
road could be built for $4,000.
Other members of the road COM
mittee are Windsor w. Hodges,
Comus; Julian B. Waters, German
town, and Charles Butler, Pooles-
vile.
1t was estimated also, by the
roads committee, that it would cost
approximately $4,000 to improve
1000 feet of road leading from
Dickerson toward Sugar Loaf
mountain.
Col. C. F. Won dem Bussche,
president, conducted the meeting.
