So the Pendleton girl was here al-

Bill Lediet was the worst offender
with eleven errors, though none of the

glory in the fielding way.

personal than dinners and minor it-

"You have never been to the Perch,
have you? It is lige a beautiful
mountain ' camp. You must visit us
there next summer."
"I have never been interested in
the place. I hope, now that my son
is married, he will definitely give up

"Oh, but his heart is in it! I'd
be willing to see him sell everything
else he owned, and live in a hut with
him, if he could raise the inoney for
the dam that way."
Mrs. Duane's thin cheeks flushed
slightly.
"I have no desire to see my son lav -
ng in a hut, Barry has practically
nothing to sell, except those worth-
less Western lands. If his mother
has any influence with hint, he will
never go there again."
Anne sat very straight, "I see,"
she said softly, "You have wade it
quite clear to me. Thank you,"
A declaration of war had been
made and answered:'
Anne told Barry some of it late
that evening, anxious to convey a
hint of warning.
"You see,' Barry explained, in that
careful way, "my uncle was really the
head of the Duane Mills. My father
had died years before, when I was a
baby, and. Uncle Bob had bought in a
farther share from my mother, Patb-

What was Jim doing here?
When it was over, Cleo lingered,
a little in the rear, but Anne slipped
ahead to -there the limousine stood.
"Jim, I most see you alone. Just
as soon as possible."
"Yes, we ought to have a lot to
talk about." There was a jerr in the
guarded tone, He opened the door
for her, without the faintest change
of expression. "1 guess you know
where to find me."
Cleo's light steps were behind them.
"I'll take you home in plenty of time
for dinner; but I want to show you
something first."
Outside of laying violent hands on
her, there was no getting rid of Cieo,
