Three weeks after a cream colored
roadster had been found wrecked
in the sea at the foot of a cliff,
a girl calling herself Anne Cush
ing appears at the desert town
of Marston. She has bought,
sight unseen, a ranch located 30
miles away. Barry Duane, her
nearest neighbor and his man
Boone Petry procure a reliable
■woman for her and in Barry’s car,
loaded down with supplies, they
start across the desert. In Mar
ston her reticence has aroused
suspicion. Barry and Anne be
come more than neighbors, and
when Anne is lost in the hills and
rescued by Barry, each realizes
that something more than friend
ship exists between them.
EIGHTH INSTALMENT
dealCleo seemed to have a great
to show Anne. A dress. Then a jewel
ease. After that there must be a
brief call on Cleo’s mother. There
was still something else, a rare vase
of the Ming dynasty.
“Dad will want to show it to you,
so you might as well be forewarned.
He’s crazy .about it, but I think it’s
awful,” said Cleo frankly,

She whisked out of sight, a...
passed to a house telephone.
“Is Kennedy there? . . . Bring
the car around now, Kennedy, And
go to the Chinese room and tell Mrs.
Duane that I’ve been detained for
ten minutes.”
Out in front of the garage build
ing. which in itself was a smaller
stone castle, Kennedy scowled and
sauntered back to his car.
“Wonder why -she didn’t give her
message to one of the flunkeys? Too
damn lazy to ring twice, maybe .
. . Oh, well, it’s O. K. by me.”
“Miss Pendleton wishes me to sayj
that she will join Mrs. Duane in
ten minutes.”
Anne -whirled about to see

Cleo was already on her way to
the public library.
“It wouldn’t be in the New Yrork
papers,” she reflected “but I’ll look
there first. M’m. May second—say
the third.”
A sheet crackled as she bent over
the table. On the page in front of
her was a picture of Anne Duane.

The annual school fair under the
Huron County branch of the Depart
ment of Agriculture held at Grand
Bend on Monday .afternoon brought
out a record attendance and a fine
lot of exhibits. Entries in the indoor
section exceeded that of former years
and the liv stock exhibts though
down a little in numbers from last
year were of splendid quality. Ex
ceptionally fine weather was no
doubt a factor in the large attend
ance and also added much to the
comfort and enjoyment of adults as
well as the school children. The fair
was conducted by Argicultnral re
presentative Ian MacLeod and his
assistant, Miss Bessie Wall, of Clin
ton who wre assisted in the judging
by R. S. McKerclier and Miss Helen
McKercher, of Dublin.
Following is the prize-winners in
the various classes:
