Even though the more conservative newspapers, without in any way belittling his achievement, criticized the exaggerated madness of the enthusiasm, people tracked Lee everywhere, pointed to him on the streets, followed him until, as a lust resort he had to seek the compara­ tive seclusion of taxicabs. From all over the country fan let­ ters came-—hundreds of thousands of them. A motion-picture company, eager to capitalize on the publicity, offered him a starring part in a drama of an explorer, He gave inter­ views good-naturedly; he signed his name op menus, ‘visiting cards, chil­ dren’s balsam-a ood planes and at the bottom of his photographs which appeared in the daily papers. He wrote several articles newspaper syndicate, and more than half the money he ed into ’the depleted fund of the ex­ pedition.Though he permitted the public to lionize him on as colossal a scale as they would a foreign crowned stood it.

He the and not of the whole expedition; made it pos­ sible to achieve success. And you watch—with your tremendous popu­ larity we’ll be able to go on a lec­ ture tour and make enough money to pay off the expedition’s heavy in­ debtedness. You’ll draw immense crowds, where my pure scientific lec­ tures would have attracted only a vi­ tally interested few.” In Washington, where the explor­ ers went to be officially received, they met the same wild enthusiasm, though in a more colorful stately manner. Admiral Benson, wise in timing the pulse of the masses and knowing that the first heat of ex­ citement would die almost as quickly as it had risen—and that, in a jour­ nalistic sense, Lee’s feat would be dead after a while—arranged very promptly for the lectures over the , country, taking Lee with him. Patsy, once more at Tree Tops; tried to forget Courtney’ death and the investigation that was going on in New York by spending most of her time following the breath-taking glamour of the expedition’s home- coming over the radio and in the daily newspapers. Several of Lee’s photographs she cut. out and kept. One evidently had been posed; it showed him leaning easily on the deck rail and smiling exactly as if he were trying to please the photo­ graphers. But the one she liked best was a snapshot taken of him on the street in Nek York. This one showed the Lee she loved—the tall, blond, serious Lee, with hie handsome face set in lines of grim determination. Kitty Again On an oppressively hot night -in July, with the air heavy with the promise of a storm, Patsy and Ad­ miral Warfield sat before the radio listening to a broadcast of Admiral Benson’s lecture in Baltimore. Patsy was pealing a peach for her grand­ father—a great ripe peach with dripping white and pink flesh and a golden meat sweet as honey. A little burst of laughter escaped Patsy’s lips, and the old Admiral sat chuckling deep in his throat over the announcer’s'vivid description of the people pouring into tne large hall. Never, the announcer said, had he known so many women to be iterest-1 • ed in the South Pole. More than two- thirds of the people now in the $4 seats were girls between 16 and 20. But in the next moment Patsy’s young heart plunged down with a sickening thud, for the announcer went on excidedly: “I see Mrs, Cav­ endish, wife of the nero, taking a seat in the first row. 'She’s a beauti­ ful woman. Tall, dark, grateful. Her black hair is parted in the middle and sweeps back in two- poi- Another Bad Night Could Get No Rest To the thousands who ate tossing, night after night, on sleepless beds, or who pace the floor With nerves unhinged, to those who wake tip with bad dreams and nightmares, we offer in Milburn’S Health and Nerve Pills a remedy help soothe and calm the nerves and bring back the shat­ tered nervous system to a perfect condition.

Yes. dent of the 1 oning Mrs. Cavendish to the rostrum beside her husband, and she’s blush­ ing like a school-girl.” Without a word Patsy laid the .ink luster basket with its peaches on the table and went slowly up­ stairs. Grandfather silently watch­ ed her go, all the concern of a wor­ ried old man in his pale eyes, the anxiety of a devoted one, the taction of a strong heart. Patsy went to her chaise-lounge and lay on it wide awake, her slim .Intie hands working nervously at her sid’•>. How did Lee feel about Kit­ ty now? What lay behind her be­ ing so cordially received at the lec­ ture tonight? Had there been a re­ conciliation? Kitty could never make Lee happy —Kitty whose actions in the past had been so strange, so mysterious that merely remembering that night at Mercy Hospital when she had tried to murder Victor Caldwell made a cold sweat break out on her temples Oh, it was ridiculous to permit black thoughts to press in upon her so in­ tolerably like this. There was noth­ ing in her fears. They were impos­ sible, quite impossible and absurd. She rolled over on her side, a small tense figure, her blue eyes fas­ tened on the forks of lightning in the sky over the Severn. Electric storms made her head ache sometime,, but she liked to look at taem. They had never frightened her in all her life, though she had heard visitors to An­ napolis claim that the Eastern Shore storms terrified them. The thunder rumbled in the heavens now like war artillery. Patsy used to laugh at all the growling and rumbling when she was small. She was not laughing now. Her Heart Calls Kitty’s Appeal After the .lecture was over Kitty waited for Lee in the brilliantly lit corridor of the auditorium. She knew that she could bank on him not mak­ ing a scene in public. With a gay little »mile she looked up at Lee, matched her steps with his, folio w- ed him as noiselessly as a skulking lynx out into the street and into one of Mr. Chatterton’s ears that waited to take the famous young aviator to his hotel , As the chauffeur -pulled away from the curb, Lee turned to Kitty, his blue eyes hard and furious: “You’re making this very difficult for me, Kitty. You know that noth­ ing on earth could make me live with yo.u again. If you insist upon keep­ ing me married to you—then—-there apparently isn’t much I can do about it. J But you’ve, got to understand . . Kitty began to cry softly. With her eyes wide and darkly appealing and a little fluff of handkerchief dabbing at her nose, she sobbed: I kno.v I’ve been a beast—hut—but everything I have done has been done be au-'e I love you. Oh, Lee—-Lee— Her long white scarlet-tipped fingers mucked his coat-sleeve in a gesture that was pathetically tender. Lee’s face grew hard and fixed. “It’s no use Kitty. Can't you under­ stand that? All I ever felt for you is dead—dead—if I ever actually felt anything.” “I’ll never give you up,” she said, weakly. And then to his utter amazement and before he realized what she was doing she sank to the floor of the limousine and wrapped her arms around hfe knees, clung to him despeately, crying: “To think when you wanted me to run away to Reno to divorce you! Now I love you and—and you hate me! Oh, Lee— Lee—where did we lose each other? How can I let you leave me like this? She had grasped his hands now and was ki'ssing them 'passionately. Lee was profoundly shocked. “Kitty!” He tried to withdraw his hands, but she held them fast, her face pressed ’ close to them, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Don’t take them away—don't— please! Oh, Lee—wny did I have to lose you to know how much I want you! ” Kitty’s Threat run away into the want Lee fur- had Au- endless tortures, the past now and begin just as if •had never been; She was wondering why Lee had not written or* calleo her since the expedition’s return. For days she had not been out of the shadow of the telephone at Tree Tops longing to hear his voice. But no call had come. Twice her anxious heart had leaped almost out of -her body, for the telephone had rung and the op­ erator had said: “'New York calling . . . .” But the first call had been from Roger Tate and the second had been from Richard—an excited Ri­ chard whose words had with him, tumbling one other. It was stupid of her to to call, of course; even more stupid to worry over what he did with his life. She -had known for -weeks that she would marry Richard-—'Richard deserved what little there was in her heart she could give him; and he would be a protection against ther suffering. It seemed all at once that life carried her swiftly back to the tumn night of her engagement din­ ner when she had so sensibly outlin­ ed her future and had protected her­ self against being hurt. Well, she had turned her back once on safety. All the lessons she had learned from her mother and Marcia and the others had been daz­ zled into insignificance by the bright mantle of romance. She had allowed herself to fall in love with Lee and had experienced But it was all in the future would those three years just as if the engagement dinner was ending and tomorrow she yould start the buying and initialing of her trousseau linens. Lying there on the bed, Patsy could not know that .‘Lee, standing tall and blond and angry, turned abruptb' to Mr. Chatterton beside him on the rostrum in that Baltifore auditorium and said, in an undertone “Mr. Chatterton, my wife and 1 are separated: I would appreciate it if you would ask her as diploma­ tically as possible to take her seat ill the audience.” Kitty, hearing, turned livid with humiliation — the radio announcer had’thought it a schoolgirl blush! —held in her burning rage and man­ aged to smile at all the envious fem­ inine eyes upon her. She said in a gay, controlled voice: you all how proud band. How happy home and safe!” Then she bowed instant applause and went quietly to her seat. A young girl sitting near her friend in the rigs. “What would you give to be in her shoes?” she whispered. “Gosh! He’s the best­ looking man I ever saw in my life!

He dialed the long listance opera­ tor and stood waiting, his whole tall frame trembling. Not once while fly­ ing away from the comparative safe­ ty and comfort of the expedition’s; base and knowing in his heart t-he dangers that lay before him in res­ cuing the ill admiral had he been as excited as he was in this minute. But the line at Tree Tops was busy and the operator said she’d ring him back when she could complete the call. t N ew Det erm ina tion ~ Tested Recipes ALBERTA MARKED HER BIRTHDAY ON SEPT. 1 In view of the plentiful supply of tomatoes, the following recipes for the home canning or this fruit may prove useful. Pickled Whole Tomatoes Lee looked down at her dark brown head and cursed the fate that had put them this close together again. It was awful to know that this woman who had been -his wife repelled him—that actually he des­ pised her. But because he was at heart sensitive and tender he didn’t want to be any more cruel than ne­ cessary, even though she had stop­ ped at nothing to wreck his whole life, his career, everything he had worked for. He said, not ’unkindly: “Kitty— it's no use—please—! The chauffeur is watching us in the rear-vision mir­ ror’” Kitty's softness underwent a swift change. She got up quickly and sat rigid and trembling beside him. The eyes she turned on him were pools of green ice and the scar on her forehead stood out like a burn­ ing coil. Her lips were tight and her voice brittle. “If I can’t have you then Patsy Warfield never shall!” she said, deadly even. “Remember that! And remember that the patience of a wo­ man bent upon the undoing of-an­ other knows no obstacle.” The rest of the way to the hotel they rode in charged silence. As the uniformed attendant swung open the limousine door, Kitty, without a word, got out of the car and walked off down the avenue, her dark head high and her shoulders erect. She didn’t even look back once but there was something about her — some­ thing so static it held a queer drama­ tic intensity. Lee, watching her, bit his under lip and wondered gloomily what wild thoughts of revenge were racing through- her head. He went into the hotel then and his mood suddenly sharpened into an aching nostalgia to put in a call for Patsy. Ever since he had reached New York he had wanted to tele­ phone her, but over «nd over again, he had told himself that he shouldn’t that he had no right in the world even to be her friend. But now the desire to hear her voice was so great he found himself half running to the elevator and down the corridor to get to the Lit a cigarette and paced the tliick- lycarpeted floor. Now that hie de­ termination to .hear Patsy’s voice had broken through his better judgment he found all of his defenses crumb­ ling. If only he could see her— could .hold her in his arms—he had no right! He knew he had no right! Kitty would never free him—never! It only in his teens he hadn't fumb­ led life so! He remembered suddenly Admiral Benson’s words: “You know, Lee, you belong to the navy. I’ve been thinking recently that when I get ba-.k to civilization. I’m going to talk to Senator* Rickster about you. There are two ways that you could be reinsaced: A bill may be" passed in Congress either by a Senator or a Congressman, referred to the Naval Affairs Committee and then sent to the Secretary of the Navy for exam­ ination. There’s a lot of other red tape but opposition on the floor to a bill of this kind is rare. Another way is a special message sent to Congress by the President, with the approval of the Secretary of the Navy. Wheth­ er a dismissed officer is entitled to be reinstated depends, of course, up­ on the circumstances of his -particu­ lar case. But Lord, boy, you’re navy stuff if ever I saw am going my life!” If that should be even at the bottom of the lieutenant’s list—if Kitty should agree to divorce him, if Kitty should fall in love with another man—on and on and on his thoughts tore, •pounding, mak eyes burn with hope. Impulsively, dashed out of elevator and out into the sultry July night. Only when he found himself on the back seat of a can headed for Annapolis and Tree Tops did doubts of his action assail him, was no use. pipe dream. Kitty would keep married to her forever, he’d get back in the navy. 1 peck small green tomatoes 1 quart boiling water 3-4 cup pickling salt 1 quart vinegar 3 pounds brown sugar 1-4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teasoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon mixed spice ,1 teaspoon celery seed 10 whole cloves Dissolve salt in boiling water, in a few tomatoes at a time and for twelve minutes.

Maloney suffered a frac­ tured' and dislocated ankle and his "body is % 'ltinss -of cuts iiiid bruises* Maloney was leading the bull to water when suddenly it reared and rushed him. Unable to control it, Maloney was thrown against a fence gate with the bull almost on top of him. The tenacious grip which Rover secured on the hind legs -of the enraged animal is the only thing that saved hie life, Maloney affirms. Six-year-old Rover has been the ipet of bhe Maloneys since he was a pup. “I wouldn’t sell him for $10,000,” Maloney said. The Province of Alberta had a birthday that will be celebrated quietly without booming cannon or any other show. It was on September 1, 1904, when the Alberta Act, pa'ssed by the Do­ minion government came into force, The late G. H. V. -Bulyea was ap­ pointed lieutenant-governor, August 24, 1905, and September 1 he called on Hon. A. C. Rutherford, Liberal member of the Legislature Strathcona, to form Alberta’s first government. Mr. Rutherford’s min­ istry was gazetted September 9. Mr. Rutherford now 81, is prac­ tising law in Edmonton and is the only living member of that first Cabinet. Hale and hearty he still plays golf. In 1906 Alberta had a population of 185,412. The Dominion census of 11'93 6 placed the population at 772,782 and it estimated there are now 778,000 people in the province. The 33 years also has seen Ed­ monton forge ahead of Calgary to become Alberta’s largest city. ■Alberta has had seven cabinets provided by the Liberal, United Farmers and Social Credit parties. of 1 Died at Bayfield Frank Alfred Edwards, one Bayfield’s best known residents, died in his 74th year, following an illness of 1'8 months.

The two operated a gen­ eral store for some time, Mr. Ed­ wards taking over sole ownership of the business in 1895.
