Cuf -tiy can't I use my own
name?'' The shorter of the two men
paused as they nearcd the elevator.
Jim Guthrie, tall, blonde, and deep
ly tanned, took him by the arm.
Because I tray so," he retorted.
Come on. get into the elevator."
He pushed his reluctant companion
Into the car. The door closed and
the elevator started its dizzy ascent.
"A fine thing:." Jim's companion
prumbled. "Here I've been away
from New York for five years and
the first time I come back you make
me change my name. What if some
c f my old buddies meet up with mc?
Vhafll thev think?"
Jim Guthrie puffed his cigarette
impatiently. "Listen," he said. "I'm
enly changing your name to im
press this Kane suy. To him you're
t'oing to be Pancho Brownaics X it
kills you. After wc finish up here
you can fro over to South Brooklyn
and be Pete Brown or or usloc
Iluth if you want."
i The newlv christened Pancho
rodded. "Yeah," he said, "but what
Jo I say to this guy, Kane?"
"You don't say anything," Jftn re
plied. "You're just here as a wit
ness. Ill do the talking."
"But won't he think I'm kinda
dumb?"
"I'll simply introduce you as
Senor Pancho Brownales, an as
sociate of mine from Bucnoe Aires,"
Jim went on. "If you must say
something, say I agree with Mr.
Cuthrie.' Understand?"
"But what if I don't agree with
you?" Pancho demanded.
mined her niece will sing in Pari
and I'm afraid that settles It." Kana
pointed to a picture on his wall oi
Madame Delia an imposing look
ing woman in the armour of "Brun
hilde." "I've seen her picture in the opera
house at Buenos Aires." Jim said.
"She sang there years ago."
Kane shook hia head. "She rules
Elsa Terry with an iron hand," ha
said. "She's a combination of the
worst features of Gilbralter and
Vesuvius."
During the following week Jim
Guthrie staged a determined cam
paign to meet Elsa Terry. He bom
barded her apartment with flowers,
candy, fruit, books and notes askins
for an interview. Much to the dis
gust of Pancho. they attended th
opera each night that Elsa san.?.
But it availed him nothing. All of
his presents were returned un
opened. Not that Elsa wasn't intrigued
by all this attention. Young and
beautiful and thoroughly bored
with the sheltered life her aunt
insisted that she lead. El6a spent
much time wondering about the
man who was trying so desperately
to meet her.
"Forget about him," the aunt coun
selled. "He's either a playboy or
he's crooked."
As a last resort, Jim went to tha
apartment building where Elsa Ter
ry lived. Inquiring for any vacan
cies, he learned that the apartment
directly across the hall from Miss
Terry's was vacant. The tenant
objected to the opera star's constant
practicing and wanted to sublet

.Posed by Grace Moore and Helen Wcstlcy)
'Jim Ignored that one and pushed
Pancho from the elevator into the
waiting room of William Kane, ar
tists' representative. The walls of
the room were decorated with pic
ture; of Kane's clients and the
room was filled with several oper
atic singers, for that was Kane's
business, managing the business af
fairs of opera stars. Jim sent in
bis card and was ushered in im
mediately to Kane's private office.
Kane greeted them pleasantly and
Showed them to scats.
"I received your wireless. Mr.
Cuthrie." he said. "This is an un
lortunate business."
"You're putting 5t mildly," Jim
replied with some feeling.
"I haven't made the slightest pro
gress with Miss Terry and her
tiunt," Kane continued.
"Progress!" Jim replied. "We al
ready have a signed contract with
Miss Terry that calls for her to
6ing at the opening of our new
opera house in Buenos Aires." '
"But her aunt insists that she
must - ping in Paris," Kane said.
'Obviously she can't sing in Paris
end Buenos Aires at the same time.
She's not a ventriloquist."
"Then we'll sue her," Jim said. "I
ehould think, though, that wc could
appeal to Miss Terry's sense of de
cency." Pancho nodded vehemently. "I
egree with Mr. Guthrie" he said.
Kane sighed. "Yes," he agreed,
"if you could get to see her. But she
never sees anybody. She's not al
lowed to."
"In any case." Guthrie said firm
3y, "I will not go back to Buenos
Aires without Miss Terry. I induced
my friends to sponsor this season
of opera and without her it will be
a. failure. We have a right to insist
ion the fulfillment of this contract."
"I wish I could help you, Guthrie,"
Kane said. "You're absolutely in the
right. But Madame Delia is detcr-
seen and moved in the next day.
A few days later, while he waa
loitering in the lobby hoping that
Elsa would come downstairs, an ex
citable little man strode up to th
desk.
"I am Rene Ginard of the Paris
Musical News," he announced to tha
clerk. "I have an appointment to
interview Mademoiselle Terry."
Jim dashed to the elevator whila
the Frenchman was being announc
ed and when, a few moments later,
Ginard left the elevator at the six
teenth floor Jim was waiting to
greet him.
"Monsieur Ginard?" Jim asked
blandly.
The Frenchman nodded. "OuL
That is me."
"I am Miss Terry's secretary,"
Jim explained. "Won't you come in,
please?" Jim ushered Ginard into
his own apartment and quickly shut
the door.
"Miss Terry will see you in a fe
minutes." Jim continued. "Mean
while, allow me to introduce Signor
Pietro Brownali, Miss Terry's ac
companist.
Ginard bowed respectfully to th
bewildered Pancho.
"Play something for M. Ginard
Jim said to Pancho, "while I inform
Miss Terry that he is here."
Jim left Ginard in the company
of the protesting Pancho and stroda
quickly across the hall to Elsa's
door. A maid answered his knock
and Jim mustered a phoney French
accent.
"Mademoiselle Terry she is
in?" he inquired.
The maid nodded. "Mademoiselle
Terry she is in there," she re
plied emphatically.
Jim crossed his fingers for luck
and walked into the living room o
Elsa Terry's apartment.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Cloidt and
daughters. Maxine and Frances, re
turned home Tuesday veiling from a
trip of some three weeks ia western
Canada and the Pacific northwest.
They motored direct from here to
Calgary. Alberta. Canada and where
they spent a short time visiting this
thriving provincial city, meeting
there many of the residents and
gaining a very line view of the con
ditions in that section where the
(top prospects are very hright for
the first time in stven years.
They also visited Gleicshen and
the home that once was owned by
Rutherford 13. Mayes, and near where
is located the ranch owned by the
former king. Edward VIII.
The greater part of their stay
v.-as at Lanff. a resort city where in
summer seasons the population is
from 30.000 to 40.000 but in the
winter is around 2.500. Great hotels
ad resorts make it a choice spot for
travelers from all parts of the world
and here the baths are operated by
the Canadian Pacific railroad. Lake
Louise, not far distant, is also world
known and in its location makes a
spot of unsurpassed beauty, Mr.
Cloidt states.
The party then drove to Glacier
national park in Montana and found
it was well named with the great
glaciers of past centuries and won
derful scenic effects makes it a rare
treat. They also found snow drifts
of from nine to ten eet deep and
through which roads were cut for
passage.
They then drove to the northwest
to the cities of Spokane and Seattle
which are fine modern bustling Am
erican cities and where conditions
were seemingly excellent. On to
Vancouver, the party found the Eng
lish atmosphere rivaled by the mod
ern American type buildings and
found many places of interest to make
their time there very pleasant.
They later on their return visited
the city of Portland and the Bonne
ville dam, just recently dedicated by
President Roosevelt along the Co
lumbian river. While in that part
of the west they also took in the
Grand Coulee dam. one of the great
pieces of engineering on the west
coast.

W. P. Cook, who first made his
home in Plattsmouth over fifty-five
years ago, was looking over some
of his papers which had lain in a
trunk at his home in this city and
ran across a letter he had received
when he was a barber in Hastings
in 1893. forty-five years ago.
This letter was received from his
! V
friend then and also his friend j-
and neighbor at this time. Will J.
Streight. At that time the improved
bicycle had just come In and was
very popular. Lee Allison, who will
be remembered by the older citizens
as a farmer who always kept a very
sporty team of driving horses. Mr. j
Allison with his team and the late)
T. M. Patterson, who was a rider of i
a bicycle ran some races on the coun- .
try roads as well as at the falrj
grounds as the county fair was held i
here then. Mr. Will Streight had
written W. P. Cook asking if any
fast bicycle riders resided in Hast
ings as a race between the Allison
team and a bicycle was desired. No
race was arranged however between
Mr. Allison and a rider from Hast
ings. Do you want a County Superin
