The Show waa one ot those news reel events that hit a blgh apot In the social and army circles around Washington. Raybnrne West was there and ao wae bla wife, although they weren't anywhere near each other. Attention was kindled when Allaire galloped out on tb Held.

"We're almost ready to leave, sir," the steward called from the open loor ot the plane. Allaire twisted a whits glove tround In her hand. He Just didn't tire a damn. "Ton haven't much use for me, have you, Terry Wlllett?" There u an Indefinable quality ibout her, a certain willfulness, perhaps, that didn't help things at 111. The propellers were turning over. Time to go. He bent forward Impul sively and took her hand. "Take care of yourself," ha said swiftly, "and all good luck" "But you're coming back V she cried. "How do I knowt I never plan past the Job in hand. And anyhow." he aald, "what difference doea It make? You have your path to follow. Stick to It, kid; you'v got somebody fine to walk It with you." The steward tapped him on the shoulder. Wlllett nodded and picked up his hags. Tim to gol The pro pellers were roaring! "Give my best to Fox." he ahouted above tho clamor, "And tell him when he'e Secretary of State to (end out some secretaries to the hot placee with some ot his sense. Good-bye." "Good-bye," she echoed, but her voice was lost In the roar. An Instant later the plane roared Into action. A tcrrlflo backlash of air swirled around her, dragging at her. faring at her ankles, whipping her face, forcing her bark. Funny, how Tirry Wlllett gave ber the eame feeling as the on she re ceived when shs saw old battlefields, historic homes, and early sun.. Or maybe It wasn't funny, because, after all, ho'd gone.

Fox watched aa aha put her beau tiful Jumper through bla paces and thought of her swift, changing moods of the last weeks smoky anger, effervescent gayety, affection ate camaraderie, restless Impulse. Strange girl! There were times when he'd thought she loved him, and othors when he honestly believed she didn't car a fig about anyone and never would. THAT last question waa near somi tort of an answer, for bis sixty day leave waa almost over and If she waa going to St. James with him be'd have to ask her soon. Ray West gripped his shoulder. "Watch her take this, George," h exclaimed. "It's a wicked one." She cam atreaktng up the field, the horse's hoofs pounding the turl like rapid muffled drums, riding fast for one of those devlllsh-looklng hlgb hurdles composed of long slantwise poles. She swept Into ber take-off. went into the air up and over, horse and girl coming down In beautiful rhythmlo partnership, tim ing, grace, precision. Fox watched as she cantered off the Held. "Going to the clubhouse." b told Ray. "Congratulate her for me," said her father. "It waa a good show. Blue ribbon riding." Fox went Into the big main lounge ot the club. Allaire cam In shortly afterwards. She had put on a polo coat over ber riding clothes and moved through the throng Ilk a booted and spurred Diana. "You were grand," be said. "Grand? oh. oh, thanks, George. Let's sit down some place?" They went out cn the verandah and Allaire sank Into a deep wicker chair and accepted a clgaret with I little sigh. 'I'm supposed to rid again this afternoon, but I think I'll chuck It All the Westlanda horsea are nearly dead. Ray's gang haa ridden them Into a lather." 'You'r nearly dead too." he com mented. "You've been going from dawn to dawn." "It's so silly," she said with dis gust. "I don't se why you hothei with me." Fox looked at her then, noticed the curve of her cheek and the droop of her long dark lashes, and decided to hell with the slity-day limit, if ens didn't know by now she never would. "Will you marry me. Allaire?" hi asked suddenly. (Copyright, nil. Ml D.vH Oarth) lllre an 'on deems, ternsr. row. to Dirt. ASSURED F. R. IS TOLD WASHINGTON.

The tunnel hoicji ' through the Hoonac range In Mniwa- chuaetta, nearly five miles to North Adams, a hole 24 feet wide and a lit tle more than 32 feet hlsh a bori big enough for a double railway line which penetrates the mounalna. It waa started In 1665 and com pleted 18 year later at a coat ol $14,000,000. Lives lost during tho hazardous undertaking totaled 300. The tunnel was cut almost five miles through solid rock: the work was ' ihade all the more difficult becauM of the large amount of schlat rock encountered. In building the Hooaac tunnel, englneera for the first time In America used air drills and nitro glycerine in work of this kind. Strange aa It seems, when the head ing from the east wns cut through to complete the bore to the western nd of the tunnel there was only five- sixteenths of a nlnch difference in the floor level of the two parts.
