APOUST 6, 193(1 A I I A mi DAD'S GIRL BY EDIMA ROQB, WEBSTER THE STORY OF A GIRL WHO DESERVED TO WIN CHAPTER 53 She considered a moment. Would tliat be unfair to Madge and Aunt Jennie? She was sure they would approve, for they both held Don in such high regard. Already, she liked him very much, herself, lie reminded her so much of Winfield --she checked her thoughts. "Very well--ij Madge hasn't planned something "I'll see that it's canceled, if she has," ho laughed, delighted that slie had agreed to his plans. Someone produced a mandolin some ukuleles and the crowd sang for an hour, everything from "Sweet Adeline" and "Mounin' Low" to "Sunny Side Up" and "Should Don stayed at Clara Due's whispering affectionate- remarks 'between choruses, patched her lovely face as she sang.

He came for her next day in a high-powered green roadster, and ifcey drove to Smith's dam at the river, changed lo bathing snils at llio nondescript shack which served for a balh house. Clara Dee swam as slio danced, gracefully and easily. She could dive aei well as Don --did (lie stran dive and jack-knif perfectly, to his delight and admiration. They raced against the current and drifted down. He won with his strength rather than his greater skill.

She was glad that she had learned something during those purposeless years. She had least learned lo be a good sport -where pleasure was concerned. "Yon are wonderful," he en- tluised, when they had climbed to the grassy bank to rest. "And you ride, doa't you?" "Yes, indeed!" with enthusiasm, "I love to ride!" "And dance like a professional, play tennis and' golf--have your own mount, or did have, speak French bellcr than most people do tiieir native tongue--come, tell nil about it.

She laughed gayly.

"Poor things --they miss a lot of life after all, don't'they?" "Yes, iut I suppose if they are content--that is happiness. But yon see, I've had the good or ill fortune, I don't know which, to faste (be variety flife, yet I'm compelled to remain here where-my interests are and probably always v-ill be. Not that I couldn't find those very pleasures here. The has been, someone to share 'hem. I had despaired nnlil--" looked at her as if seeking her I consent to go on.

She was making a chain of clovers and offered him no encouragement. He moved closer and luyed his liig brown hand over her two slender white ones. "Clara Dec--" his voice lowered ivilh earnestness. "You know I've loved you ever since (he first moment I saw you. I know I'm not good enough for you--that my life isn't your life--that it isn't fair to ask you to hide away here, but --isn't there some way--perhaps if you would tell me about yourself." She a sudden desire to make ricuces.

Such an expo- lieuce would be bad enough for one 1 never known luxury. But yon!" "Yes, but I am thankful aovr for having had tho experience. I was never so happy as I am "Now, Clara Dec7 Is it possible that you could care for me?" "I--why--I don't know, Don.

I scarcely know you and yon don't know me." "I believe I do. When kindred t-ouls meet, is time necessary tor llieni to become acquainted? I love yon so that nothing--iiiothinir you bave done nor nothing you could ever say or do, could change that." She marveled at so beautiful a revelation. This was a love she had never known--the kind she lias defended lo Ivan--the love that was complete understanding, unquestioning faith, trust and prolec- lion--and she could not speak.

Indeed, I want you lo be very sure a-bout it first. Let's dive once more and dress for supper." She was glad for the respite. Her mind was a turmoil. Had she never known Wiui'ield--it might, bo very easy to Ije sure about Don. She dressed with trembling fingers and walked slowly out to the machine, where he was waiting carried I to picnic hamper over the trees and helped lior to arra'nge their supper on the linen cloth spread on the grass.

She exclaimed over delicacies he had brought. "But yon shouldn't have troubled so much for me. Who did all this 1'or you';" He beamed with satisfaction. "It wasn't trouble, my clear. a a I supplied everything I could I'rom my gardens and uu- mother the rest.

You must meet my mother soon. Yon will love her, I know." "I haven't a don-bt," she agreed. "It must be very wonderful to have a mother." There was salad and little iced cakes, dainty sandwiches, great lufi- cious tomatoes, crisp radish-rosets, pink mealed cantaloupes, downy yellow peaches, iced lemonade in a thermos jug. Their etren- 'lous exercise had given them both hearty appetite, and they ate in contented silence for awhile. Don was stretched on the grass beside his head supported with his left hand while he ate with the light.

"Sail we ride, early in the morning?" he asked. "Delightful. But where shall I get a horse?" "I don't think Tom has one a ivould be suitable," he considered, I'll briny my saddle horse for you and ride one of our work horses myself." "Oh, no--that would be no pleasure for you!"

"Is there some one -else?" he asked with fear. When she did not instantly deny it, he exclaimed, "There can't be!" How could she tell him that her heart was somewhere in the wilds of Canada, perhaps alone in hip- boots in some swift stream, fishiv for trout--that except for a cruel trick of fate, she should be there beside him "hand in hand." She couldn't. But what of her life? Must she always he lonely because the had sent him away forever?

"Methods Win" Tall, handsome, with a boyish look about his face despite his advancing- years, Steeie insists that it isn't appearance, but method, that wins a woman. "A woman has longhair and short brains," Steclo avers. "Find her weakness and you have her.

Then he and Fannie married again in September, 1924, but she divorced him the same year, claiming a he told her he just married her to torture her. The dashing plumber promptly consoled himself by marrying again 14 days a his second divorce from Fannie. This wife was granted a divorce the following June, claiming that he told her he wanted to marry a younger woman.

Then he returned io Fannie, "1 married Nellie twice a Fannie three times as an experiment to prove I could get them baok," Stcelo explains. To prove he has "IT," Steclc offers to bet his present wife will not get the divorce she'' is seeking now. Jealousy Women who love me keep on loving mo. The only reason they get divorces is because of jealousy. I make them wild by telling them that they know they have a good and they ought to share it with less a women.

"First they rave and then they threaten to get a sweetie of their own. I laugh at them, and they go on to the divorce court. But they keep on loving me. Women arc all alike. I've had enough experience to know.

"If I a been crazy, I never would have married him the third time." Col. Charles Goodnight is credited with establishing the first ranch in the, Texas Panhandle in the late seventies.

I I A A I WRECKERS SPEEDING TO RAZE REILY BLOCK TO MAKE WAY FOR MODERN BANK BUILDING Forty-three ywu's the people 1 I of Hamilton were justly proud. A new and modern building had risen i their town in a war of 1887, n.iiil it wne linililing which they could be justly proud. The building.was of throe stories, "'1 the corner of Kelly and High streets. From the time of its beinj; built, it became affectionately known the "Roily Block Building." In the hearts of llaniiltoniaiie, it be- c'liiue living representing (heir "spirit of Hamilton." To Hamilton of lite noiv building meant much (ho same us (lie new 48 story tower now being built in Cincinnati, means io Cincinnati of today. A New Monument Today, wreckers equipped with modern tools, are tearing (lie once magnificent structure, brick from brick, beam from beam.

At (he lime the Keily Block was built there were no other buildings lo over-shadow it and make it appeal- small. Where the lientschler building now stands, there was a pri- vate home, dwarfed in size by the Heily Mock building. On the opposite side, of (lie street there were olhcr lesser buildings.

On High street itself, no high powered cars raced by. Only stately horse-drawn vehicles, moved along with dignity and pomp. This building was like a stalely and dignified. The building, in comparison with modern structures was too decorated. Jinny turrets of stone rose from its roof.

No Longer Modem And now, the fates have decreed a tlic building shall bo raxed to "make room for a more modern structure." What was modern in nineteenth century is no longer modern in this i century of ours. For a long time, the youth of Hamilton has at the building in passing, and wished that some enterprising business man would do away with the place and erect a. more modern building in its stcnd.

But the oidtr generations remembered the building, not as out-worn and out-inodcil, but as still iu all its early fame and glory, and silently hoped a it could remain. In place will rise a building that is modern in today's sense of (he word. The building will be built by the Second National bank, a modern business firm, capable of putting a building where the old one is being razed, that will always remain modern. It will be a building, which, like the older one, Ham- illonians will point to with pride in their voices and hearts. COOLIDCE PLAYS WITH WIND MILL Plymouth, Aug.
