The mngonta light of (Jocllnlng day
Iny on the water and rvtl'li-iied It as
If monsters were spilling wire In a sub
aqimtlc hnttle. A low, faraway sun
that hd lost murh of Ita lient and no
longer dnr-zled the eyes, slipped, an
If a most delicately contrived wlndlnss
was letting It down cog ty cog Into the
horizon. For a second It rested on
the surface of the water, then dipped,
broke the circle and dropped gradually
down .ito Its tomorrow.
Miss Fink clicked down her pink
parasol' and shifted her position on
the snnd. Her feet were curled under
her like a shah's.
"Sny, wouldn't a model tunic gown
draped In hot-locking pink chiffon, the
nme color as thnt cutnel-shapvd cloud
out there, he swell?"
"Neat little sky, ain't It ? I know a
fellow made a fortune out of an Idea
like that Al Levy; he's the fellow put
out the Sunset Sextette Girls that was
such a scream In four-a duy vaudeville
last yenr. -1 knew hi in when he was
sellln' tickets In front of the Itiulto la
the old scalper days."
"All aboard for Sunset Land tra,

"Sure, that's the act I 1 know all
them little girls like they was my sis
ters. I remember Dttlny de Vere when
fihe was carrying a tin spear In the
fourth row of a fifth compuny of tJ
(Jiiiety GliU. Daisy always knew
when her show came In off the road
that she could get a dollar room nnd
off me and puy me when her luck
turned. Them was the good old days
at the Hlalto house good old days."
A theme of retrospection, subsid
iary, but Insistent as. a left-hand
theme marching beneath the trill of
treble. arpeggios, crept Into Mr. (illly's
voice; he burrowed an equally retro
spective forefinger knuckle deep Into
tho sand, drew it out and peered Into
the little well.
"Them was good old days I never
ought to have left Broadway for the
resorts nohow gettln back Is like a
character man tryln to convince a
manager he can play juvenile. But
say, klddo. If you'll wear a muszl
about It, I'll whisper something In your
ear."
"Sure."
"It looks like Tm going to land be

"Oh I the Dew thirty-story one on

"I ain't sure yet, but I'll know any
day now, I may run down to Chicago
to see Mm when he conies West next
weekend If I land It, Blrdle-blrdle,
believe me, I'll Invite you out to the
welleat little supper between here
and Forty-second street. How'd you
like to see me behind a alabaster,
gilt-edged counter, eh,' klddo?" ,
"Not so bad I"
"I'm Just holding my breath wish
ing It on-myself forty a week and
three shifts I Say, It's so easy a politi
cian would trade with me."
"I know Just how you feel. I had
my eyes glued to the Avenue and 'Im
ported Gowns Only' three whole !
years before I ever sold anything
above -a twenty -nlne-ttfty ready-to- j
wear."
The gray light of dusk suddenly en '
veloped them ; the lake was glassy
topped like a cistern, and behind them
a darkening tanzte of woods full of the
twilight gibberish of birds.
"Gee, forty a weekl On forty a
week I could ride In a taxi with my
back to the meter; I could buy a plot '
on Fifth avenue for a truck garden; I
J I could even get married, Birdie."
"Or buy an underground balloon." '
' They laughed in soft, furry voices,
that had unconsciously takeu on the
Quietude of dusk.
"Look over there, GUly the hotel's
ticglnnlug to light up."
"What I think of that dump!"
"I bet right now the whole Bison
convention Is ringing for more tow
els end shaving water, and every
man's wife of 'em Is unpacking the
tray of her trunk and bhaking the
imall town sweet lavender and crinkles
out of a made-lu-the-house summer
silk that would get a laugh out of a
clown oft duty."
"I notice you're pretty strong for the
small towns yourself. Morning Glory.
I ain't beard nothing more about that
eight-forty-five flyer since you and

"Yes he wou'd not I" sung In, a
voice to deny hn' negutlon.
Mr. Gilly dusted Ms hands of sand
particles, rolled over luxuriously on
his side, climbed to his feet and
stretched wide his arms like a sun god
standing at the edge of a day. He was
a white flannel epic In sartorial art.
an heroic expression of trousers
j creased to the knife edge and wide-
cuffed to reveal, yet conceal, white
clocked hose, so sleazy that the knob
of his ankles strained thinner the silk.
A white silk shirt fluted In front and
Moused to a correct negligee snapped
In the breeze, and with It all the
carefully careless hair, the tinlnixr
tant features and the too large horse
shoe scarf-pin that distinguishes the
sophomore from the scholar, the weevil
from the worker, the gent from the
gentleman.
"Stay where you are. Birdie, and I'll
hike down to the canoe for the basket.
We'll spread the eats on the sand and
build a bonfire till the moon conies up.
We're going to have some little feast
real cut-ups we sre wouldn't they
give us the laugh at home?"
He hounded down the slope of beach
lightly, the spray of kicked up sand
shooting from under Ids white canvas
shoes.
The dined like two (monies, with
the fire dancing hi their eyes and over
their hair and dowuthclr backs nnd
their own shadows, curiously elongated

"Are you happy, girlie?"
"Well, I guess."
"S'more cukes V
"Nope."
"Whatta you think of our party, sis

"Some -laity."
"You're the kind of girlie I'd like to
take to a real lobster supper. Gee,
I the swell little parties I've had at

I "But oh, 1 don't know, but since

through life on subway trains."
I "Hear hcnrl Suy, -outside of Noo

props under the trees to keep the

lug fence all around to keep the kid

with the lid of a baking powder can.
Gee, a little of that would make the

"Mlgawd, whisper that line of talk
in a phonograph record. Birdie-birdie

"Silly I"
"Rave on, I can manage you If you

"What's them lights over there,

"The Vlrgln'a what?"
"One night me and your friend Mai

Miss Fink's eyes were like slits, her
shoulders end her waist anil her voice
swayed with the hestitatlng rhythm of
a worshiper of Buddha under "his Bo
tree. "Do yon know the Slnga'ese Dip?
It's the hardest of them all, Gllly "

He tossed the remnant of his sand

his feet as If the song of his soul was
being played to dance music.

County Welfare
Organization Is
Formed Monday
The Box Bu -e county welfare or
ganization was formed at a meeting a!
the court house Monday afternoon,
under the direction and guidance of the
Dr. Theodore Hansen, Omaha ex-pastor
who Ppoke nt a unio:i service at the
Methodist church Sunday evenin.
A number of people interested in thi
work, from both Alliance and Hemir.r
ford, were present and officers werr
elected and committees appointed.
The purpose of the organization, as
explained by Dr. II:".n--or, is to su:ovi
at the primaries or in the elections
those candidates for office who are
publicly committed to uphold and carry
out the pro pram of the welfare or
ganization, or as Dr. Hansen said tc
bring about the "election of those
men and women who stand committed
to the boy and girl tiroblem." Mr.
Hansen furthermore stated that the
"only people interested in fighting the
welfare organization are those com
mercially interested," or the moving
picture exhibitors and producers, who
according to the speaker, spent thou
sands in defeating the movie censor
ship bill. Mr. Hansen was certain that
there would be "no question as to the
result of the campaign if the issue
could be brought before the people."
,Dr. Hansen stressed the fact that
we must take measures to prevent
young people from the temptations,
rather than to provide penal institu
tions which would later endeavor to
correct them. In closing his talk, he
said that Senator Good of this district
had supported the welfare movie bill
which was recently rejected in the
state legislature and recommended
that if he should run again that the
welfare organization should support
him.
The county officers elected were E.
C. Barker, chairman; Alex MuirheaH
of Hemingford, vice chairman; E. K.
Donovan, secretary and Mrs. , Tom
Miskimen. treasurer.
The committees were: Executive,
Jay Vance. Mrs. J. A. Keegan and Mrs.
C. H. Hughes and Chris Hanson of
Hemingford. Campaign committee;
Mrs. S. W. Thompson, E. C. Drake,
and Mrs. C. H. Hughes and Mrs. E. L
Ford of Hemingford. Survey commit
tee; Joe Renswold, and Mrs. Alex
Muirhead of Hemingford and John
Overman, Kev. S. J. Epler and Jay
Vance of Alliance. Publicity commit
tee; Mrs. J. A. Keegan, Mrs. Dr. J.
I. Wyrens and Harry Beans of Alli
ance, and Mrs. C. W. Lockwood of
Hemingford. Most of those on com
mittees were present and plans for the
furtherance of the organization policy
were made.
