Round the four walls and enclos- ing the constricted floor for dancing, tabls were so closely ranked that passage between them was largely impracticable without a guide. Everybody of any consequence in the studios was there, and everybody knew everybody else and called him by his first name—preferably at the top of his lungs. Lontaine's party, a large one, comprising the most influential mem- bers of the colony with whom he and Summerlad were on agreeable terms, had been long enough in ses- slon already to have become indi- vidually exhilarated and collectively love, last- into the Lucinda Kiss G incurious air sume, Bhe stole another glance across the room.

Summerlad it took to its bosom with shouts of acclaim, and he seemed to find it easy to catch the spirit of the gathering. A spnse! of frustration oppressed Lucinda. 8he had been happy half an hour since. Here in this heady atmosphere of perfumed flesh, tobacco reek and pungent alcohol, the idyl of her eve-! ning grew faint and fled. While thel man she loved had no regrets. In a moment of disconcerting lu- cidity she saw him as a strange man, flushed with -drink and blown with license, looking on other women with a satyr's appraising eyes, bandying ribald wheezes with the lips she had 80 lately kissed. And she winced and drew away, recalling the aban- don of affection with which she had given herself to his embrace at the hotel, feeling of a sudden soiled and shopworn as from common handling. A strange man, a man she had known but a few brief weeks—! Covertly watching him, she saw Summerlad in the middle of a pas- sage of persiflage start and fall silent, his lips in an instant wiped bare of speech. And following the line of his stare, she espied, at some distance at a table near the edge of the dance-floor, Bellamy sitting with a woman. He saw her but made no sign more than to intensify his meaning smile, and immediately returned courteous attention to his companion. At this Lucinda stared in doubt for several seconds, she was so changed. But finery that shrieked of money spent without stint or taste could hardly disguise the wild and ragged loveliness of Nelly Mar- quis. a m XXVI Lucinda looked a second time. More than a mouth had passed since that brief acquaintance and Lucinda had put her out of mind so completely that her efforts to recall the features af the other conjured up only a foggy impression of a shabby, haggard, haunted shadow, by turns wistful and feebly defiant, that bore what might . be no more than chance likeness to this figure of flaunting extravagance at Bellamy's tabl®. A question forming Lucinda turned back to Summerlad, but surprised the tail of his eye veering hastily away, and fancied a s e e e on her lips, CHILDREN WISH THEY MADE GLASSES BIGGER The kiddies like our milk so well — they can’t get enough of it.

D., May 27.—Though civic pride has prompted the male population of Sacramento, Cal., to go unshaven in preparation for the “Days of '49" celebration, a goodly share of the *local color” promises to be provided by a retired farmer of North Dakota. For Hans N. Langseth, 75 year old resident of this county, is going out California way to show the *“boys'" a beard that is a beard, as he puts it. By actual measurement, his is several inches more than sixteen feet. A score of years ago, Langseth was traveling with a side show. But the public refused to was real. “The same old bunk," they said, and passed up his tent. So he went back to farming. Langseth was born in Norway. » He lived in Towa from 1867 to 1898, and then moved to Clay county, Minne- sota, where he lived two years before settling in this country. Not since he was 29 years old has Tangseth shaved. Then he noticed his beard grew remarkably fast, so he decided to see what length it would attain. It's too long now for convenience but he carries it tucked away in a sack attached to the inside of his waistcoat. Pa Establishes a Safety Zone Ccaust 1 DONT LIKE THE DERN DUDE AN’ ANEVER DID!
