YESTERDAY: Sue learnt mm
Bob Trenton it president ot the
new that iactory He begins o
whirlwind wooing of Sut.
Chapter Five
I Love You'
"VOU think Bob la Just amusing
1 himself with me?" she asked
Forest
"What else? You're tops here all
right, i'ue darlin'. but stiil and all
St Joseph isn't exactly metropoli
tan, you have to admit It's my
guess Trenton picks the village
belle wherever his business takes
him; and has himself a hefty goi.i
time while it lasts. You said he
was only giving you a rush I"
The black curls bobbed assent
lngly agains. his shoulder, but her
eyes flung a welcome to the tall
young man who was skating across
thi floor toward her. She smiled
mockingly at Forest's disgruntle
ment as he surrendered her to the
newcomer.
"Cheer up!" she called as Tren
ton swept her away. "Remember
the Chamber of Commerce!"
"What about the Chamber of
Commerce?" Bob demanded. "No,
you don't, Kettlel I just now took
her away from Webb. Go on, Sue,
tell me! Can't you and Forest And
any more interesting things to talk
about than business?"
"You," she told him.
"Me? Oh, I see!" His agile mind
M fa
r
'When will you
made the connection at once. "The
branch factory, eh? And Webb's
father a director of the Chamber
of Commerce. Plain as a pikestaff.
Well," he dismissed the subject
comfortably. "The factory's going
through all right They can stop
worrying about it." He evaded an
approaching stag skillfully. "I like
this town, Suel Shall we live here
for a time at least?"
"I shall," she said, emphasizing
the pronoun significantly. "You
must do as you think best of
course."
He sighed with exaggerated re
lief. "That's settled thenl I'll close
the deal tomorrow."
"What deal? The factory?"
"No, the house. A darned
nice house It is, too, let me tell
youl Swimming pool, landscaped
grounds, everything. The poor
chap that built it died in an air
plane smash last winter"
"Oh, you mean the Wilmington
place out beyond tht Country
Club? It Is a nice place, Bob. But
a trifle targe for a bachelor?"
'Nonsense!'
"BACHELOR, my Aunt Emma!
Seriously, Sue, I think it's
high time you were setting the
date. We've known each other ages
and ages"
"Three long weeks, In fact" she
said dryly.
"Three weeks, or three years
what does it matter? I love you
and you love me"
"But 1 don't!"
"Don't love me? Nonsense!" He
topped abruptly, opened a door
and propelled her through It with
a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I
came early ,.nd scouted aroun to
find this. Inhospitable soul, our
hostess; not a light on." He pressed
a button and Sue discovered they
were in a small, book-lined
room, clearly not intended to be
used tonight Somebody's reading
glasses were on the desk, there
was a comfortable litter of mnga
ilnes and papers on the narrow
table.
"Bob, we have no businer: in
here!"
"Your mistake, iweetl We have
BY FALLING BARN
Thompson Creek, Jan. 8.
(Spl) S. L. Johnston had a nnr
row escape January 2 when a
freak wind visited his ranch,
demolishing a big barn and top
pling two large trees nenrby.
Mr. Johnston was In the barn
feeding stock when he heard
the sudden onslaught of the
gale. The stock stampeded out
of the structure and the rancher
also started for the outside but
the barn came crashing down
about him before he could es
cape. Although pinned by heavy
timbers, Mr. Johnston was soon
pried loose by other members
of his family, and found to have
sustained no serious injuries.

ica sand, soda ash and lime

very Important business, If you
ask me. Here tuck your little self
on this couch while 1 turn off the
high light and switch on this nice
low lamD. If I muve this high- 1
backed chair so! between us and
the door, we're fairly safe from
discovery."
In spite of herself her heart
beats quickened a little.
"It's too early in the evening
for us to disappear like this," she
protested. "Ever so many people
will be looking for us both. Let's
go back, Bob!
"No." He spoke with finality.
"We have things to talk about
important matters to decide. When
will you marry me, Sue?"
She colored, more with annoy
ance than ombarrassment
"I won't. I don't love you, Bob
I just finished tellin you so."
"I didn't hear you. I'll never
hear you when you talk nonsense
like that. Of course you love me!
How could you help it when I'm sc
utterly mad about you?"
She clasped her hands about her
knees, rocking herself sideways
to look at him through mischie
vously lowered lashes.
"You say that with suspicious
glibness, my man! With practiced
ease, in fact 'Utterly mad' about
me, ha! You talk like a man in
smart play."
Something Like Fear
HIS pleasant face grew a little
hard. "I can do more than talk,
Suel Don't tempt me too far. I'm
1N. f
marry me, Sue?"
putting a lot of restraint on my
self as it is!"
She had a moment ot something
like fear. The men she knew, the
men she had grown up among,
did not tn.lt like this, look like this.
She contrasted Forest Webb'i
cheerful wooing, Jim Kettle's dig
nified attentions, with this reck
less young man's manner, and
wished she were back amont the
dancers. But it would never do to
let nlm see she was impressedl
Forest's remark about the village
belle and crown prince stuff still
rankled. If Bob Trenton thought
he could breeze Into town with his
stunning looking clothes, and his
stunning looking car, and his car
loads of flowers sent to any (jir)
who momentarily attracted him,
he was due for a jolt, that was all!
She held her head a little highei
and advised him lightly: "Keep on
restraining yourself, my dear boyl
It's good for you."
"Sue, please! We're wasting
time. I know what you're thinking
just as well as if you said it, and
it's rot, sheer rotl Some of Webb's
provincialism, I'd be willing to
bet I lost my heart to you the lirst
time I sow you: that day on the
river bluff, with the sunset behind
you, and the darling little scowl
on your darling little queer face.
I knew then that I w s going to
marry you! It wouldn't have mat
tered if you'd been Mrs. Some-body-or-other
even then. '. always
get what I want always! And 1
want you more than anything in
the whole world. I'll get you,
sweet! Make no mistake about
that. Of course you can mnke dif
ficulties, tantalize me with a cat-and-mouse
sort of game "
"Bob, you're so conceited!" The
accusation burst from her youth
fully. "You talk as if any girl
would give her eyetceth to get you.
You talk aj If I were already In
love with youl Well, I'm not! It
wouldn't amuse me in the slightest
to 'make difficulties,' as you call It.
I like my life as it Is. I don't want
to get married for long, long
time; and even If I did, it wouldn't
be you."

FLYING CONGRESSMAN
At the outbreak of the World war, Fiorello Henry La Guardia, mayor of New York
City, represented the 14th district of that metropolis in the United States congress. But on
July 25, 1917, he enlisted in the United States army- and by September 7 he was commis
sioned a captain in the air service.
At Foggia, Italy, La Guardia took command of the American air forces there and was
promoted from captain to major. He saw much action and once dropped a note actually
"daring" the Austrians to bring him downl
