Now, he could imagine her near. him again and saying, "Mark, Mark," over and over. He could . imagine he was kissing her and_ telling her not to weepy, that everything would work out all right, that he would see life would always be all right for Carrie Lane, • All through the next day, Mark Pictured Carrie Lane, heard -her calling his name, until it seemed he could not wait another hour to • see her. Even Ma Parmley noticed his preoccupation at the supper table and promptly laid it to Carrie Lane, loudly—ail of which :didn't help Mark's embarrassment before the other homesteaders. Saturday, Mark saw her, late in the afternoon as he was passing the hotel. His nerves tingled. She had come to- town to stay with ': the Taylors. Her soddy would be completed Monday and she would move in, "Might be a long time again be- fore you'II see me," she told Mark . Jokingly, as be stopped, apparent- ly . casually, to talk with her and the Taylors. "Doesn't that call for some sort of celebration, then?" Mark asked, instantly seizing his opportunity. "There's a dance here tonight over the store. I'd like very much to take you—that is, is it's all right with the Taylors." Mark marveled afterward that be was able to say all this so quick- ly when his heart seemed to pound till it hurt. He had wanted to Call her "Carrie," too, but somehow he couldn't .quite bring himself to it. "All right' with us," Mts. Taylor raised her brows, • "Wouldn't be all right with us if you didn't." Ghe winked at Ed, who promptly reminded his wife the Taylors were going to the dance, too, if Mrs. Taylor could "scare up a clean shirt" somewhere for him. To The Party Carrie and the Taylors were ready and waiting at Sioux Springs House when Mark name for them. Carrie wore the same white dress she had on that firet day Mark saw her. Looking at her, Mark Was speechless for a minute. "You sure look nice," he told her, awkward. The Taylors had put on their Sunday clothes and they looked little like bite homesteaders who had come to town earlier that day. Mark's yest, white boiled shirt and gray suit had wrought as great a change, Carrie was happier than he had ever seen her as they walked down Main Street to the dance hall over Bill Williams' general store. To- gether they made a striking' P ic- tune—Mark, tall, imposing, hand- some; Carrie on his arm, gay, laughing, bonneted head held high. Intuitively, denim -clad homestead- ers and booted freighters reached respectfully far their hats as the couple passed, gathered in curious. little knots in their wake. The party was well under way when Mark led the way up an ootafdo stairs to the low-ceilinged dance hall. A solitary fiddle whin- ed above the din of dancing and conversation. Mark recognized the "Arkansas Traveler." The small room was hot, crowd- ed. Lanky, awkward young Saod• die's" lined the dance floor, packed to overflowing.

And there were .more like him. They laughed to- gether. The noise grew; louder and, louder, they moved faster and faster, bumping, shoving, twisting, :dodging.

And then it happened. It was a tag waltz. Mark felt a heavy slap on his shoulder and turned to face Ashton Oaks, Instantly, Mark saw the man was drunk, reeling. He tried to ignore the ag- ent, but it was too late, t , Carrie saw him, too, went white, "Sorry, my dance," Oaks said through thick lips, and moved be- tween Carrie and Mark, "Sorry', but it isn't," said Mark quietly, trying to move out onto the floor again.

The music screeched on, but the room grew quiet, tense. "Oaks," Mark wheeled on him, "if you are a gentleman, you will Please let my partner alone." Mark moved to lead Carrie from the floor, It was the least he might have said, but it was too much. Graap- ing Carrie, tighter, Oaks stood there for a second, staggering, sneering. Then he said it, so loud he could be heard across the room —"Your partner? Yon might be interested to know.

PRIDE IN ONE'S WORK Perhaps those fashion experts weren't really trying to choose the BEST dressed man at all. From here it looks as if they had • decided to pick the MOST dressed instead. The best dressed man should be one who can make a cheap suit look good while the rest of his family enjoy the better things in life. He is the one who can take pride in a practical suit of overalls, emblem of steady work. He is the one who can march in a khaki battle romper and let the world know he counts it the best outfit of all.

Typing With Talk Telephone conversations can be converted into printed words by a device that the Bell Telephone has developed in the States. A business man will dictate letter's into a microphone and whenhe has finished they will be ready for him to sign. Musical notes will no longer have to be written by hand; as they are played or sung the automatic secretary will take them down. The device is electrically oper- ated and includes a microphone which picks up spoken words. These are amplified to a constant volume. The sounds are analysed as to their frequency by a numb- er of band pass filters. Each fil- ter allows only a certain range of frequency. After the sounds have been broken down to their frequency, several other changes occur and an electro -magnet oper- ates the correct keys on a type- writer or whatever the printing. device may be, Two chess players, one In Not- tingham, England, and the other in the States, have been carrying on a game by past for the Past four Years. ifY To �Iu're E.:ting e Be:.; uutiful Here Are ideal Means For Oily -Skinned, Dry -Skinned Types Have you a greasy skin and oily hail'? .
