PAGE TWO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SIMPSON TO ~ BE“COLONEL” IN CAMPAIGN Accepts Position in Big Com- mercial Club Reorganiza- tion Campaign Great impetus was given to the Commercial Club campaign the executive committee announced that C. R. Simpson of the Gamble- | Robinson Co., had accepted his ap-i pointment as leader of the teams} organization for the big drive. He} will have as his adjytant, P. R. Fields of the International Harvest- | er Co., who will act as lieutenant- colonel of teams. Both gi these men ‘have acted in campaisng of this wind before and their experi- ence and ability along these lines make them particularly adapted for the jobs, Mr. Simpson, assisted by Mr. Fields, will have the whole re-| sponsibihty of byilding up the| teams organization of about a hundred workers who will start out on the intensive drive on Nov. 20th.) Under the colonel and his ad- jutant, will be four majors each in charge of a division, and in each division will be four captains, each in command of a team of five men. The names of the majors will be known in the morning and a méet- ing will be immediately held to se- lect the sixteen team captains. For the purposes of calling on the citizens, the city will be divided | into four equal districts and cach | district will be looked after by a division, On each of the four days of the intensive drive, luncheons will be held at which the! captains will make reports and will hear short pep talks by local speakers.’ There will be several prizes given to be won by the divisions making the highest scores on each day, and a lot of friendly rivalry will be en- gendered in the competitions be- tween the four divisions. In speaking of the campaign to- day; Colonel Simpson’ said, “I. am indeed delighted to be honored by the executive committee in this ap- pointment as head of the teams or- ganization. Bismarck has needen a real live Commercial Club for some time, and I am certainly glad to be able to work in the building of one. Its a mighty important movement or I Qould never have consented to take the responsibility of acting in this capacity. I am ready though, to give unsparingly of my time and my effort if we can have an organization here that will be an everlasting credit to our com- munity. In: taking this job,” Mr. Simpson continued, “I did so with thé understanding that every man I-called on would help a little, and would do his share. I am willing to do all:I can. for the Commercial Club but I_can’t «do it alone. In this teams ‘organization, we will need-the sincere assistance of near- ly @ hundred men. Being “busy” is no excuse for-not lending a hand in the good cause, This job we have on hand is just as important * as anything I can think of. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be working - for it. The Majors of the four divi- sions will be calling on some of you fellows in a day or so, to act as team captains, and than after that, the team captains will be out after lieutenants for the sixteen ; teams. If everybody who is asked will say “count on me” we will hang up a record here in Bismarck that the rest of the state can never reach.” PROTECTION Wear gloves when you clean sil- ver, not only to protect ‘your hands ; but to prevent them ftom touching the cleaned surface: The warmth of your hands causes fingermarks ° to appei GUEST ROOM Teffeta scarfs and spreads make the guest room attractive.

Darragh nodded: “Some storm, Where is Eve?” “In her room.” “What is she going to do, Jack?” “Marry me as soon as possible. She wants~to stay here for a few days but I can’t leave her here alone.

Darragh stood his rifie against the bench on the kitchen porch, They entered the house slow- ly. And met Eve descending the stairs. The girl looked at Darragh, as- tonished, then her pale face flushed with anger. “What are you doing in this house?” she demanded unsteadily. “ave you no decency, no shame?” “Yes,” he said, “I am ashamed of, what my kinsman has done to you and yours, That is partly why I am? here.” “You came here as a spy,” she said with hot contempt. “You lied about your name; you lied about your purpose. You came here to be tray Dad! If he’d known it he would have killed you!” * “Yes, he would have. you know why I came here, “Pye told .you!” “And you are wrong. I didn’t come here to betray Mike Clinch; I came to save him.” “Do you suppose I believe a man who has lied to’ Dad?” sHe cried. “I don’t ask you to, Eve. I shall let somebody else prove what I say. I don’t blame you for your attitude. God‘knows I don’t blame; Mike Clinch, .He stood up like a man to Henry Harrod. . . All I ask is to undo some of the rotten things that my uncle did to you and yours. And that is partly why I came here.” The girl said _ passionately: “Neither Dad nor I want anything from Harrod Place or from you Do you suppose you can come here after Dad is dead and pretend you want to make amends for what your uncle did to us?” “Eve,” said Darragh gravely. “ve made some amends already.

Do you remember that I befrineded’ her over there?” “Yes.” 4 “Do you remember that the Reds were accused of burning her cha- teau and looting it?” “Yes, I_ remember.” “Well, it was Quintana and his gang of international criminals who did that,” said Darragh dryly.

Slowly she turned to Darragh, of- fered her hand: “Tl go to Harrod Place,” said in a low voice.

Through the swirling snow, ‘over on the lake-slope at the timber edge, a graceful, boyish figure in scarle¢. and white wool moved swiftly over the drifts with all the naive delight of a child with a brand new toy, she met Darragh just beyond the veranda, rested one mittened hand on his shoulder while he knelt and unbuckled her snow-shoes, stepped lightly from them and came for- ward to Eve with outstretched hand and a sudden winning gravity ‘in her lovely face. “We shall be friends, surely,” she in her quick, winning voice - “because my husband has told me —and I am so grieved for you—and I need a girl friend—”. Holding both Eve’s hands, . her mittens dangling from her wrist, she looked into her eyes very steadily. Slowly Eve's eyes filled; move slowly Ricca kissed hers on_botir cheeks, framed her face in both hands, kissed her lightly. on the lips. A Then, still holding Eve’s hands, she turned and looked at Stormont. “I remember you now,” she said. “You were with my husbard. in Riga.” t She freed her right hand and held it out to Stormont, He had the grace to kiss it and did it very well for a Yankee. Together they entered the kitchen door and turned into the dining room on the left, where were chairs around the plain pine table. Darragh said: “The new mistress of Harrod Place has selected your quarters, Eve. They adjoin ‘the quarters of her friend, the Countess Orloff-Strelwitz.” “Valentine begged me,” said Ricca, smiling. “She isrgoing to be lonely without me.
