"Hut what reason?"
"Oh, h has exactly twenty million
reasons for"
"I don't understand," murmured M.
do. Jolldon.
"No? Then you are probably the
only bachelor In I'arlB who doesn't.
Hhe was tin? daughter of n poor Mar
ovlau farmer no dowry but Iiit
beauty. An enormously rich old bank
er named Hadowa, wealthiest muu lu
Mnrsovla, fell In love with tier, mar
ried her and did her the exquisitely
graceful favor of dying a week later.
Bhn Inherited Ilia whole fortune $20,
00,(KM." "And now I suppose he ha come to
Pari to upend It?"
"Oh, the money la iiafe enough for
the present, I believe, In the Hank of
Maraovia. Hut my husband want a It
to stay there. Ho doe the Mariovlan
government. Oura la not a rich eouu
try, M. de Jollilou. That'a why a new
white hair appears In uiy worthy hus
band' head every time one of your
1'arislan lady killers iniikes love to her.
It's all absurdly simple."
"Well," laughed lo Jolldon, "hla balr
needn't turn whiter on my account
I'll be the one Frenchman who won't
make love to Mine. Hadowa."
"ifut you must."'
"What?"
"You must marry her, at any rate."
"Are you mad, Nutalle, or Is this"
"It Is no Joke, and I'm not mad.
I've thought It nil out."
Tho ambassador's wife glanced nenr
usly about her. Hhe and De Jolldon
were ensconced In an alcova of the
alon.
It waa the night of the embasay
ball. From the adjoining ballroom
raiue the strains of n waits and the
oft gliding of hundreds of dancing
feet. truest were passing and re
passing along the great hallway and
road stairs at the rear of the salon.
But for the moment the two bad the
room to themselves.
"I.lateu," sho said. "My husband sus

"HumIi: You mustn't say It. I am a
dutiful wife. And -what are you do
ing?" she queried as he snatched up
her fan from the table. With the
pencil that dangled from his dancing
card lie Jolldon scribbled three words
on one of the Ivory sticks of the fan,
then handed It to his hostess.
Natalie, with a little catch In her
breath, slowly read the words aloud:
"I love you!"
"Why did you write this?" she
asked.
"Because you forbade me to any It,"
be retorted.
"Tell bis excellency I have come
back," broke lu a voice at the door.
As a servant hurried off with the
message the speaker waddled Into the
room. He was a stout, ungainly little
man, clad In the quaint national cos

red mustache, his was u personality to

THE PEOPLE OF CALICE
HAVE SPLENDID FOURTH
Big Picnic al Round Park a Car
nivsil of Joy e.nd Gastronomic
Festivity.
Among the Fourth of July celebra
tions iu this vioiuity was an im
proiuptn piculo at Galice, where
mirth and patriotism hleuded in a
most eujoyabie day. There exercises
were held in a grove three miles below
the Galioe rastoffice. The doings of
the day began with the regulation
boom of canon at day break, but two
days were consumed in the prepara
tion, the mining companies anJ.the
111 Tenants contributing liberally and
the event was a graud success One
redeeming and particularly, nete
worthy feautre of the celebration was
the absence of druukenuesa or any
thing intoxicating in the driuking
liue. Nor were there any fighta. The
I riucipal part of the progiam of the
day consisted of siltinn in the shade
Hudeonsuiuiug br.shel of Royal Anne
1 hemes, harre.n of lemonade, lots of
ire rreaui aud theu a splendid picnic
dinner, lbe menu lucluded the fat
log him up. I'll do my best, your ex
cellency." But the ambassador at a whispered
word from a servant had already pot
tered out of the room as fast as his
somewhat shaky old legs would carry
him, and the voluble Nlsh ran along
In his wake.
A commotion swept through th.
scattered groups In the foyer a mur
mur, a rustle, n whisper .that resolved
Itself at last Into the excited phrases:
"The widow has arrived!" "Twenty
millions and unincumbered!" "Widow
of Sudown, the animated money bag!"
"A Monte Crlsto fortune for some
lucky man!" "Her name is Sonla Sa
dowa; twenty millions red h.ilr, too.
but a beauty!" "Twenty millions!"
"The Merry Widow!"
Down the stairway from the dress
ing rooms and Into the salon swept
woman young, lieautlful, vivacious. A
light of mischief danced in her great
dark eyes.
Her masses of auburn hair shone
like an aureole above her ratuel
pale, delicate face. About her hovered
a half score of gallants, all vying fot
a word, a look, from the beauty (and
fortune) of the Tarts season.
Two men the Marquis of Cascada
and the Count de St. Brioche were
lucky enough to claim for a moment
or two her attention.
"No, no!" Sonla was saying In pro
test "At home, in Mnrsovla, men don't
make such pretty speeches. Courtship
there is very primitive and marriage
Is for life. When a man makes love to
another's wife, he is promptly shot.
When a wife flirts, her husband beats
her black and blue a good plan. Why
not try It In Paris?"
"Delightful!" exclaimed Cascada. "Do
you know, tnadame, we have been
counting the moments until you ap
peared?" "I can well believe It," assented So
nla. "It must have been just like
counting money."
"Oh, madame!" protested the group,
horrified.
"Don't I know?" retorted Sonia, a
little bitterly. "It's always like that.
I'eople count me like so much money.
If It la coarse for me to say so, re
member I'm a farmer's daughter and
that In my country people call a epade
a spade."
l'opoff and Natalie came htiP.'eaTy la
to pay their respects to the gutvt .ron
whom llarsovla's hopes so depended.
At a sign from the ambassador the otb
ers drew back.
"Ko you were shocking gome of our
Paris gallants?" beamed the ambassa
dor. "What a child of nature you
are!"
"You mean," countered Sonla. "that I
am a peasant dressed up. How I wish
sometimes that I were a real peasant
again!"
"Ah!" chuckled Topoff. "Child of na
ture. true child of nature, always
remembering the dear old days on the
of the land, and the supply was such
that after the hundreds had partaken,
there was still ample for a good
sapper.
There was a ball game in the after
noon between two nine picked from a
mnng the boys in attendance at the
celberatlon. After an hoars contest
the score stood 0 to 11. Mr. Mitchell
of Merlin acted as nmpiie. A 50-yard
free for all foot race was participated
in by about 25 ladies, old and yonng,
Mrs. Daisy Cronch winning 1st and
Miss Raybel 2d prizes. The boyB
free for all 60 yard dash was won by
Mr. Jones, who also won in the 100
yard race.
The dance was mnoh enjoyed, in
"Efficiency" as applied to an automobile, means that
ability in a car which enables it to go and come when
and where you want it. It means speed, economy, en
durance, hill climbing, and roadability those things
the "Tourist" won in a string of forty-two brilliant
victories out of forty-five entries. Buy the car that has
proved its worth by winning all manner of tests in
competition with all
types of cars. The

They prove positively that no car other than one
built here with the sole idea of meeting Coast road and
climatic conditions could have made the wonderful
" Tourist" record.
There are several models of Tourist Cars to meet the
various models of pocketbooks. There are several
styles of 2-cylinder and 4-cylinder cars from which to
choose. Better buy a Tourist than wish you had.

Hut the mischief had died out of
Soula's eyes. Her face was paler than
was Its wont, and there was a stern
look as of pain about the dalntllyi
cliseled mouth.
"I have already met Prince Danik,"i
she said curtly.
"Itenlly?" cried Popoff. Then, not
ing her change of expression, he added
with apprehension:
"I hope it was not on one of his wet
days a charming, lovable youngster
In spite of his"
"I inn not Interested in hearing about
him." broke In Sonla In a curiously
level, emotionless voice. "It was long
ago that we met. He will have forgot
ten me even as as I have forgotten
him. Let us talk of something else,
please."
Even Popoff could see something waa
seriously amiss.
