(Qontinued from last weue . Realization smote him like a blow, mumbing his brain. He saw now why the governor had conferred with Judge Forester and the .senator, why he had been ordered off the trail. He saw now why Fell had preserved se- erecy so great that even to the chief of police his impregnable nosition was sapposedly due to influmere higher up. He saw how Fell must have been working month after monch, silently and terribly, to form one ¢ompact or- ganization of the most. talented- crimi- mals within reach—headed by Mem- $his T2zy, the man who had laughed at the ‘government for years! And he séw himself furious, raging like a madman— .Gramont dropped his head into his hands. The pain of his forgotten wetnded arm stabbed him like a knife. Me jerked his head sharply up, ard was aware that the agents had depart- &d. -HQ was alone with Lucie and Fell. and the latter was rising and holding out his hand smiling. “Gramont, you got ahead of me in this deal, and 1 congratulate you with all my heart!” sald Fell, earnestly. “Neither of ts suspected the part played by the other man! but you've done the work and done it well. - Will yon shake hands?’ 3 Gramont confusedly took the hand: extended to him. *T've been a fool,” he said, slowly. “T might have guessed that something wnusual was—" “No; how could you guess? sald Nell. “There are three men in Baton Rouge who know the truth, and three persons in this room. That’s all, out- side of the regular government men. I bad not told even Lucle, here! I dared mot. And I dare say nothing even now. To the underworld at large I will be known as the crook wiom =ot even the government could touch; in days to come I may be of untold service to my country.” It you will excuse me one moment,”? he went on, “I shall speak with your men who are on guard, Gramont. I— ah—will _be back in a moment. and ‘we may then discuss business. - If you agree, I think that your comp:iny may proceed upon the original lirzes, and 'we shall set to work drillin f for oll without delay—" Gramont scarcely heard the words, He A . ner dld he hear the door close He Was Still Looking Into the Eyes of Lucie Ledanois. was, atill looking Into the eyes of Lu- ee Ledanois, and wondering it the message they held was really meant for ki, CHAPTER XVI . Mi.Careme. .A nameless gentleman from the ef- fate Nerth was enjoying for the first time the privileges of a guest card at the Chess and Checkers. In a some: ‘What. erplexed mauner lie approached the secretary’s and obtained ‘a eigar. THen' hé<paused, listening to tHe sounds of revelry which filled the elub,:and which'? “eae roaring in !rom the ieity streets out: _.“Sa¥!” he address ed the secremry. “What's this Mi-Careme I've ~heen md.lng about in the papers, anyhow? S § thonght everything was tight as'a clnm down here after Mardi Gras? It's stlll the Lenten scason, lsn't it? Mardi Gras doesn’t come more than once a year? Then what's all the cele- bration about?” The secretary smiled. ‘“Certainly, sir, it's still Lent. But the French people have what they call Mi-Careme, or Mid-Lent, and they cer- ' tainly give it a big celebration! You see, it's 4 night halfway through Lent, when they can enjoy themselves to the lipit—let off steaw, as it ’were. e'rg lavinz sevespl dinger parties | i H ! \ o waah | A 8 here in the club tonight, for the occa- sion.” A slightly built little man, who had much the air of a shy clerk—had it not been for his evening attire—ap- proached the desk. He signed a check for a handful' of cigars, which he stowed away. “Please provids & fresh box later,” he said to the séaretary. “Most of my party is here, T believe.” “TIl send them wup, Mr. Fell,” an- swered the secretary, quickly. “Yes, I think the dining room is all ready for you, sir. By the way, Mr. Gramont was looking for you a moment ago— ah! Here he comes now!” Jachin Fell turned. Gramont was. plunging at him, a yellow telegraph form in his hand, excitement in his eyes. “Look here, Jachin! This wire just came in from Hammond—you know, I left him in charge ¢f things down at Bayou Terrebonne! Read it, man— read it! They've struck oil-sands at five hundred feet—and sands at five hundred, with these indications. It means a gusher ¢t a thousand! Whére's Lucie? Have you brought her?” “She’s upstairs, Well, well!” Ja- chin Fell glanced at the telegram; and returned it. “So oil. is actually found! This is certainly going to be one big nigkt. Come alon;z. Let's find Lucie an§ tell her about 'it—" The two men turned away together. [THE 'END.] JMEENENIS, “MY OLD KENT{'CKY HOME” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY “Weep no more; my Honey-” Coming along at a break-neck speed in a field surmounted with class is “My Old Kentucky Hothe,” one ‘of the season’s greatest humdn dramas of mother -Jove | named after the famous balled"which is due-to arrive at the Rex theateir Sunday. “My Old Kentucky Home” wilt make your blood !tingle with ex- citement, will itnm your sympathy and give you an /insight into a real southern romance, such . as you only read about. It’s/a“story of the south told in all the homely spirit that only Southern storif§sean reveal and is enacted by an all star cast headed by Montc Blne, one of the country’s favorite screen{actors, The racing scenes are tremendous and thrilling and were taken at the Lexington race track. Human in- terest is reveale:d at its best and this big melodrama. is said to be the big- gest picture of its kind of the season. “STRANGE ' II'OLS” AT REX THURSDAY AND FRIDAY “Strange Idols” is the interesting title of a Fox picture in which that capable actior, Dustin Farnum ap- pears as the star which comes to the Rex theater; next Thursday. The story is of a love match between two temperamerits diametrically opposed a rich lumberman from the forests and a beaatiful cabaret dancer of gayest New York; a man in whom the call of the wild finds a ready re- sponse and a girl‘to whom the white lights of Bromdway are as the breath |- of life. The 'subject is one in which the possibilities for intense dramatic action are olyvious-—and it is equally obvious that! Dustin- Farrum _should handle the role-with: great skill and ‘| good taste. ; In “Strange Tdols” the Rex the- ater apparently has a genuine treat for discrimiinating theater--goers— especially since the leading woman ic Doris Pawn, favorably known throught the country, “THE BROKEN GATE" AT ELKO THEATER TODAY The Elko theater announces as|, for today|. the featured attraction and Wednesday, “The Broken Gate” starring Bessie Barriscale.

MIDVALE JOCKEY BAND AT GRAND TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY Harvey G. Thorpes’ Midvale Jockey Band is the offering at the Grand theater tonight and tomorrow- This band will play_ .in connection with the famous race photo drama “Chain Lightning,” a tale of the|’ Bluegrass country and reputed to be an exceptionally interesting pis ture. The band is scheduled to play at each performance, during which, six musical specialties will be pre- sented. In addition 'a free band concert and parade is listed for each day. This attraction has given general satisfaction throughout ~ the state and comes here highly recommended as a first class entertainment. TROUBLE NOT PHYSICAL ONE Dan Cupld Alone Responsible for Heart Affection Which Caused Pretty Girl Suffering. The young woman, traveling in com- pany with her stern-looking father, was evidently not in the best of health. She was decidedly pretty, but her cheeks . were pale. The kind—if in- quisitive — pa s senger sitting op- posite leaned for- . ward and ad- Iressed the stern. parent. “Your daughter seems- very ill,” he remarked, sympathetically. ) “Yes, sir,” replied the father; “she’ suffers sadly.” “Consumption, I fear?” “No, sir; I am sorry to say it i8 an affection of the heart.” “Dear me! Aneurism?” _ navy!” GRAIN. BOOSTED MILK FLOW Large Increase Obfained by Minnesota Conimunity by Feeding While.- |- on ‘Pasture. Twenty-one dairy herds in the Blue Earth County Cow Testing associa- tion averaged 7,120 pounds .of milk and 285 pounds of butterfat per cow in 1920. Nineteen herds in the same association averaged 8,500 pounds of milk and 345 pounds of butterfat per cow In 1921. The percentage of gain in milk in 1921 over 1920 was 10.3; in butterfat, 21. _The tester in charge in his annual-report to University farm says: “I attribute this gain to better care and feeding. The cows were fed a grain ration the year round, thus keep- ing up the production during the late summer months. when it usually drops hecanse of shorf pastures.” MANY NEW STYLE POINTS Besing the hallmark | BFfils ‘new seaso p's styles this handsotié dres: ntion t6°its novel de a row of little 'silver_ buttons on the bloused bodice, sleevbs narrow at the top, flaring and with tabs of silk braid and silver buttms.
