SfflN CHAPTER TWENTV'FIVB THIS IS the day of asada!" Terry was roused from a sleep of exhaustion by Angela's happy cry. She had tossed miserably most of the night telling herself she was a fool to stay on "today for a native barbecue.

Why had she premised June she wouldf She dragged into a cold shower and then back to the steaming breakfaat If thla horrible feeling was love, she told herself bitterly, then she wanted none of it Why torture herself by sticking around hereT Why not go back to Yor quickly and marry Fitz and forget Argentina and Brooks Kimberly? She might even be able to hire a ghost writer to finish her book: This thought snapped her out of It If she couldn't even bear to write of him she was a coward. Jlme was right She bad to face the thing and laugh it off. Angela was prattling in a wild mixture of Spanish and broken American of the excitement below stairs. When Terry cut in to asK Of Pedro her happiness tubbled higher. Pedro was well again.

Pedro waa finel The doctor sticks on his leg and told them jokes and a nurse was with him today. When she dressed and went down later, Jime met her In the hall. She smiled at her warmly if briefly and called that she was going faster than a what as it a gull? "A baf Terry laughed. That's If said Jlme briskly. "I have a list of things I want from the village.

I wish you could pilot that plane." 1 can take the list to Manuelo, anyway," Terry offered. "Would youT Thanks." It was the beginning of a busy morning. Terry had no time to brood on the wisdom of her decision. She found herself unconsciously absorbing the excitement of the household. Brooks and Corlnne were closeted in his study working on Brooks' speech, so everything had fallen upon JIme'a shoulders.

Jlme needed an assistant badly. Three men arrived from the magazine staff of the La Espejo, a writer and two photographers. At their late luncheon on the terrace the family and guests could already see the great bonfires being lit for the asada. Everyone was gay, all contributed answers to the quea tlons on the history of the family, the estancia, and the housing proj ect. Even Corlnne seemed mollified THURSDAY'S FEATURES :00 Jim Blade.

H. PICKLES The Daily Republican had a chance to ascertain the value of the present money of France today when there was received in the mail a letter from a Belvidere soldier enclosing 500 francs to have his home newspaper sent to him. The local army man, Pfc. Don Footh, who lived at 119 Va Buchanan street when he entered the air force, was not sure of the value of jthe French franc In American money as he said if the "enclosed amount is more than enough for the paper, please give the surplus to our local chapter of the American Red Cross."

Shortly after fiesta time the peons began to arrive. Terry went down with Raff and the photographers to take the first pictures of the. barbecuing. Although I don't know whether I can endure the delicious aroma without gotfig berserk." she assured '-v "Carne con cuero," Raff sniffed appreciatively. "Meat roasted with the hide on.

It tastes as good as it smells, too." Terry had never seen anything like it. She watched entranced while they took pictures. Beeves, lambs, suckling pigs suspended on spits over great beds of red-hot ashes, the chefs hovering over them with loving care. She turned almost reluctantly when the pictures were finished and moved on with them to a group of peons In gala attire- black caps with gay tassels or broad-brimmed black hats, colored silk scarves around their hecks, long knives gleaming In broad belts above their bombachas and top boots. They were hard at a game bt tossing a piece of bone with a metal disk screwed to one side across' a line 15 yards away.

Their shouts and bets could be heard for miles. Taba," explained Raff. The Idea is to toss the piece of bullocks' heel so that the metal lands "It looks so simple, murmured Terry. Raff grinned at her wickedly. "So does dice in your country.

"And about as much money changes hands." Gradually the asada celebration swung into full speed. The peons all arrived, the women adding a note of gaiety in their bright dresses, their black eyes shining with Joy. The races began then. Mostly they were between two horses, the Jockeys riding bareback, paying no attention to the starter, while the crowd mingled screams of encouragement with wild betting. "Dlez pesos!" "Che, te Juego clnco pesos!" Just before dusk closed down, came the big contest of "surtlja." Terry had been waiting impatient ly all week for this, ever since the gallows had been erected, from the crossbar of which a small ring was suspended by a hook.

Now she watched fascinated as every man who had a horse made his wild gal lop, armed with a small stick, to try to carry off the ring as he passed the hook. The few who did it were acclaimed with shouts and present lsai-'. etery, Rockford. Pallbearers were Arnold Moser, John Andrews Robert Bottcher, Marion Herman-son, Avery Hays and Jack Vowles.

FLEMING ed with ornamented belts and boots by Brooks. And then In the early darkness the asada feast Itself! Terry, at a table with the family and magazine men on the balcony overlooking the crowd in the court yard below, felt like beatlne her silverware against her plate as she watched the contagious conviviality of the peons at the barbecue. The red coals gleamed In the pits silhouetting the arms and knives that attacked the roasted animals. Wen's loud laughter rose, and the lighter chatter of the women As the stars came out and the night took on its luminous, turquoise depths, the scene was like the ex- otic setting of an opera. Angela father sang, wearing theblack pantaloons, chiripas, of th proverbial gaucho, and a poncho of vicuna, hair, gaucho boots, and the Jaunty soft black felt chambergo turned up in front like the bat of a musketeer.

His silver spurs twinkled in "the light of the barbecue pit as he strummed his guitar accompaniment His voice was rich and melan choly. The song was a dirge of un requited love. Its rhythm went on verse after verse, distilling slow, in- exorable nostalgia. The baroness, sighed with con tented rapture. She leaned across Ithe table to the writer from La fEspejo.

This Is the Mac Coy," she nodded The writer blinked dazedly at her grin for. a moment then laughed. "Ah! Americano," he recognized. 1 Raff grinned over at Terry. Roxle certainly made use of the vocabulary Terry was teaching herl Terry smiled back, but vaguely.

She was torturing herself because she had not the strength to keep from It The songthat relentless. throbbing gaucho song bad her powerless. She could see nothing but Brooks and Corinne, side by side, watching the brilliant scene below them with the quiet smiles of the patron and patroness. Dimly she watched the dancing begin on the dimly lit wooden platform, to the music of guitars and accordlans the slow and stately waltzes and polkas, the fast, furious "Jota" and "gate," the tangoes, finally the malambo, the old gaucho dance with the heavy sounds of drumming spurs on the floor. And suddenly she could stand it no longer.

At the height of the dance, she slipped through the door and made her way down through the house and out the side door farthest from the festival in the courtyard. (To Be Continued) Divorces Throw Cupids For Loss Romance surely cooled with the weather in July in Boone county because little Mr. Cupid lost ground in his stride. His bow and arrow scored 17 direct hits for his reserve of newlyweds but Cupid lost an even dozen in the di-force court. Wartime marriages are beginning to split' and their number is expected to take a big jump at the war's end.

But other young couples apparently have an eye peeled on a postwar future with a silver lining and go into market for a marriage license. Item 1 for turn mar fun.ee TRUNKS! fiSHIP HOSPITAL' IN PACIFIC tidily; Republican tiiICa 112 WEST PLEASAJST ST. Xlae Going to Preee 3:10 P. UL T. T.

The board scrutinizes the divorce rolls closely from the office of Circuit Clerk Blanche Ma-rean. When a father is diyorced, either willingly or unwillingly, you can bet it goes down on his record whether the registrant notified the officials. There are three types of fathersat least according to selective service.

Most important one, and the only, eligible 'for deferment on dependency, is the, father who retains custody of the children, supports them financially and lives with them after the divorce. When a father isn't a father, according to selective service, is the case where his children were bora after Sept 15, 1942. If a man it divorced and his wife retains custody of the children, he Isn't eligible for deferment because of dependency even though he contributes to their support 1 In any case, the deferments all take into consideration the reg istrants age and occupation.

It is believed the damaged corn will come back on the majority of farms.

In extreme southwest Boone county jn the neighborhood of Irene rainfall was light, the storm having by-passed that area. Lightning Burns Barn' In McHenry county considerable damage was -done. North east of. Marengo near Franklin-ville in Seneca township lightning struck and caused the destruction by fire of the large barn on the Albert Peterson place, the former Mrs. August Zukuhr, farm.

Farmer Escapes Bolt Mr. Peterson was in the barn milking when the bolt hit. He was knocked over and" stunned but escaped serious injury. His nearby neighbor, Henry Secor, believes the same bolt struck his barn and flashed through the cow barn section without causing a fire.

i Secor was knocked down and lost consciousness for a time but soon recovered. i Mrs. Peterson and three young children received shocks from the lightning 1 but suffered no ill effects. Four horses and 14 cows were liberated from the blazing barn but, five calves were lost. The hay and oats oh the Peterson farm had been cut and stored In the barn and some valuable machinery was also destroyed.

Lieut. John Loop In Surprise Visit To His Home Here Second Lieut. John W. Loop this morning arrived unexpectedly at the family domicile, 425 West Lincoln avenue, giving his parents, Atty. and Mrs.

Edwin i. Loop a surprise. 1 Lieut. Loop himself didn'i know until a few days ago that he would have a chance to pay a brief visit to his home town. At Camp Hill in Utah, where he has been stationed since last Christ mas time, an army captain wounded in the Pacific and in a body cast was scheduled to be transferred to the army general hospital at Clinton, by train.

As it was necessary to send along an escort Lieut Loop was happy when he was assigned to that duty as it gives him a few days of travel time at his home here. After his from offi cer candidate school at Camp Barkeley, last December 22, the Belvidere-- man received his commission as second lieutenant in the medical administrative corps and was transferred to Camp Hill, Utah, where he has been attached to the air corps and has been serving as field registrar of the camp.
