Dy JEAN M. GRAY
1921, by Me C Hi re Nrpir Rynrtlrat.
Mr. und Mra. lillly Trout hi d been
aiurrloil almost a .war when Mr. Billy
Drought home tliu Imitation fmui tils
3lg and genial bof to pend two
weeks with, him nt JiIn cniap in the
Adlromlueks. Little Mrs.. Wily almost
viept'witli delight, although she hated
to leavo their piotty llttltf apartment,
"An nnulvcronry hoplFmooh," Mio
told her husband. ' '"''
"And n raise, with ahTaniburahlp In
view," ho icturned. "Vc?uirist mnkn n
success of It, honey, roPI'm pretty
sure our whole future depends on those
two weeks. Mr. Henry's hug on fish
Ida, so he and I will hit It olt nil
sight, nnd If nnyonc could help loving
you"
After tho ecstasies nnd the packing
and the trip, the visit started nuspl
clously, nnd continued so for n week
and n half. Mrs. Henry nnd'Jnck nnd
Jill, the Incorrigible seventeen-year-old
Henry twins, took Honey to their
Jionrts at once, nnd Wily nnd Mrs.
Henry wnded miles of brook for trout
and bass nnd came bnck to the cntnp
.tired, content, nnd empty-handed.
"Got to go down to tho vlllngo with
this letter, Honey."
"Not in this downpour, Wily!"
"Silly I It's important, nnd Mr.
Jlenry wnnts it to go nt once. I mot
Jncl: nnd Jill Just coming In, sonked
irora head to foot. They're going to
have n corn pop nnd promised to wait
till I got hack. Doesn't that sound
joodr
Tcs, hut oh, run along, I'm going
tq linve n nnp till you get back, 'cnuso
Vm sleepy, sleepy, slec-co-py." Sho
ncorly ynwned n big, Impolite yawn.
Billy hugged her, nnd hurried off.
Honey tugged tho screen nround the
couch, disappeared behind it, nnd
snuggled down by tho leaping fire.
Somo time later sho woke to the
sound of voices, one Irritated nnd fret
iul, the other soothing.
"But, dear " tho soother was say
ing. "I know, I know," tho Irritated voice
of Mr. Henry answered his wife, "you
are going to tell me It's my own fault,
tout how tho hut how could I know.
It wns going to bo like this? Usu
ally when wo'vo'bcen np,here nt this
time of tho yenr everything's been fine,
; but,"
Honey, un unwilling eavesdropper,
njcjfl her. bpcJUJOVhat could ho mean7
Mrs. Henry wns speaking.
"Surely, dear, you can afford to
be magnanimous, and forget that theso
two weeks haven't been all that you
expected."
Sho was laughing nt him, and he,
as nlwnys when sho laughed nt him.
forgot his grouch and laughed rue
AiUy. "You're nn imgel, Clare," ho told
fcer, "but this blamed trout season hns
got me. Let's go and sec If Wll Is in
tight yet."
Honey lay cowering among the pil
lows. "This blamed trout season I This
blnmcd trout seuson!" It bent Into her
brain. Then sho had failed, after nil,
and Billy's life wns ruined. Their
visit wns not n success, but miser
able failure, und It wns her fault.
'.Poor Wily, It monnt so much to him,
and she bad spoiled it nil. Tears
rolled down her cheeks. What had
she done? Why? Why? She would
so to Mr. Henry and ask, nnd tell him
that-lt wns her fault. Billy must hnvo
his raise. ,- - - i
T 3h staggered to her feet, pushed
aside the screen nnd stared nt Billy,
still in his dripping oll-sklns.
"Why, sweetheart," ho began, and
She- storm broke, rivaling the one rag
ing out-of-doors. On his breast Honoy
panted out her story, and Billy, at
first .inclined to laugh at her, grew
serious and then alarmed. This thing
meant bo much to Honey, and If he
hod done Anything to queer it, he'd
straighten It out or
"There, there." ho said lightly, "don't
cry Honey. You're Just a silly little
jlrR. He didn't mean unythlng. It's
Just your imagination. Too vivid.
& wants to seo mo now, Just as 60on
as I get off my coat, and evorythlng'll
e all right."
"But ho said: "This bl-blnmed trout
reason I"
"Well, but" Billy wns worried him
self. "Honey, listen, I'm going to sec
Mr. nenry now. Bathe your eyes and
wait for mo hero and then we'll seo
what's to bo done. Will you, Honey?"
Honey went oft with her tears and
troubled bouI, and Billy squared his
shoulders and marched into Mr.
Henry's den. Honey came back tear
less, and waited, still companioned by
that same troubled soul. And then,
when she could bear It no longer, Billy
shot out of Mr. Henry's den, hugged
n, kissed her, and sat upon the
aach and- held her on his knee. He
'nughed and laughed until Honey was
Beady to burst Into tears again.
"Dearest," he gaBped, "you dear,
llty little kid I Mr. Henry's crazy
about ns. You're sitting on the knees
f the Junior partner of Henry, Mill
ard & Henry, right now, and Mr.
ajtnry says I owe it all to you. He's
stack on you, darling."
But, Billy, 'those blamed trout'"
"Exactly. We wallowed through
fathoms of water, and have wo caught

OUEEN 0' THE MAY
By SADIE M, STUL.I.
?, 191', by McCHir Xwppr 8nttCiil
"Oh, Ulster you stppwl tight on tho
biggest )lnk rose nnd NpoUed my May
wreath!"
At this startling iicciisntlnri Orntit
Merely Irttted nbruptly. A lilf Jocose
npology ppmng to his lips, but with
the next hretith he blessed the kind
breeze which had blown the llltntiy
object acroai his path.
Huddled on the .curb wn n "study"
In child life, such n.s the noted nrtlst
lutil sought In vain on many quests nt
home and abroad.
"Don't mool" ho commanded, whip
ping out the ever-ready sketching pad.
"Good I" ns the child remained passive
only her eyes growing big with won
der. "A second more, little Indy
and presto 1 Wo have n masterpiece In
the tough. Now, then." exultantly re
turning tho pnd to his pocket. "We'll
seo about that er big red rose."
Grant could scarcely repress n smile
us the child held up a smliy crushed
repllcn of tho natural ilower In cerise
tissue pnper.
"Mother mndo It" with n pride thnt
went straight to Grant's heart.
Grant's smile gained the mastery,
but his tono wns duly apologetic s
"Welt then, Miss Kittle, what do you
sny to becoming my model? Oh. I don't
menn to begin work this very
minute "
Tho little maid had shaken out tho
vnrl-colorcd streamers attached to her
faded gingham dress. "I'll go with you
now. I want to earn some money right
nwny. Tho dispensary doctor told
Mother she oughtn't to go bnck to work
this week nnd now sho needn't."
An hour later Sister Clarice received
them in the studio.
To rattle that ornntcly furnished
room proved n verltnblo Wonderland.
Now, sho gazed in nwe nt n noble
Mohawk chief then, smiled back nt a
dainty little Hub miss, with a huge blue
bow atop her golden curls. But it wns
when she faced tho portrait beneath
the rich Orlentnl canopy thnt Kittle
uttered nn ecstntlc little "Oh I"
She ennght n warning glnnco from
Sister Clarice. The Instant Grant left
them alone Kittle broached the sub
ject. Tho girl of the picture had been
Grant's sweetheart once. Kittle did not
like the sound of thnt "once." She was
sure Sister Clarice did not like it,
either there was such sorrowful re
gret In her gentle voice.
Just then Grnnt returned to nn
nounco tho enr waiting to take Miss
Kittle home.
Sister Clarice kissed her warmly
and whispered: "I hnvo planned n
llttlo party out to my place tomorrow.
Besides your young playmates, you
mny bring your mother or somo very
dear friend." ,.
KIttlo's llttlo henrt leaped Joyously.
And nt seven that evening tho proud
mistress of a palatial uptown mansion
was surprised, to say the least, on
entering her daughter's boudoir, to
confront a grotesque little figure In
faded gingham and fluttering pnper
streamers.
"Who won't you entcrtnln next, Cllz
abeth?" she expostulated weakly.
"Why, mother, I am not 'doing the
honors' on this occasion," serenely re
plied her daughter. ' "Kitty has come
to Invite me to her Mny Pnrty."
It wns Kittle who proposed thnt
they crown Miss Elizabeth Queen o'
the Mny. 'Mid the cheers of the
young merrymnkers the ceremony wns
ennctcd.
Watching from nfar Grant noted the
incomparable grace with which Eliza
beth received the homage of her di
minutive subjects. He waited until
the youngsters started n second raid
on the greenhouses, then, with quick
ening heartbeats, crossed tlfo lawn.
"Mny I claim the day's privilege and
offer my poor homage, oh, most beaute
ous Queen?"
The limpid gray eyes did not waver
before his reproachful gaze.
"Ah, your majesty, do you remember
as I do that other May day when
a group of vlllago lads and lassies
crowned you their Queen? It was I
who placed the wreath upon your head
that day." A noto of bitterness hard
ened tho manly volce "Before another
May day your father had become a
factor In tho Industrial life of a great
city while I remained tho small town
toller and dreamer; dreaming of a
future whose brightness you wcro to
share.
"Then, one dark day your father de
molished the poor dreamer's every air
castle, treating his suit as utter pre
sumption In the light of your social
elevation. Not long afterwards I saw
you on tho avenue a gorgeous butter
fly of fashion all frills and laces. My
heart seemed to die within me. X
realized your father was right. I had
been presumptuous aye, mad '
A soft hand stayed further utter
ance. "Ah, boy, dear, In your wounded
pride you were unjust to the heart be
neath those frills and laces the same
heart that beat beneath the simple
pinafore that other May day "
"Beth I"
A few minutes later Kittle marched
past them at the head of her flower
bedecked playmates. Tho little maid's
sfpp tnnlr on nn ndded dlenlly. for Bhe
had uchleved her heart's desire. In
Mhw Elizabeth's eyes she beheld the
light that' made the picture In Mr.
Grant's studio so beautiful the light
of perfect happiness.

COUNTY SCHOOL KOTKS
(By County Superintendent)
The High School Admission Certifi
cates and the Eighth Grade Promo
tion Certificates will bo sent out in
August this year.
Red Cloud is tho only school in tho
county that is accredited by the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools.
Red Cloud and Guide Rock are the
only "class A" schools. Cowles, Blue
Hill and Bladen are the only "class
B" schools.
Accredited schools are such as,
under inspection by the University
Inspector of Accredited schools, a;c
found to meet tho "Standards of Ac
credited Schools" to a degree appro-
pi lato for their respective classes.
Accredited schools arc approved by
the state in all cases without question.
Approved schools are schools that
have i cached the standards required
by tho State Superintendent. All of
the rural high schools, 25, 41, 3G. 85,
Rosemont, Eckley nnd Inavale have.
been approved by tho state.
There will be a two-day teachers'
nvnminntion .Tunc HO and July 1.
This examination will bo hold in Red
Cloud. Eckley nnd Cowles and per
haps in Bladen.
The papers from Bladen in the last
examination were lost by the express
company nnd arc beinp traced. This
is vcrv unhandy for the teachers as
thev arc very anxious for their grades
as they need them for securing their
positions. Tho school boards should
take this into consideration as the
shortage in the teacher is through no
fault of theirs.
"Missing Link" Still Missing.
I think every palaeontologist of the
world now admits that not u single
missing link has been discovered be
low man, nnd that we know even less
concerning the origin of man than we
thought we did formerly. . . . The
puzzle of origin again harks back to
where It stood when Darwin began to
Investigate. Ills theory nnd Its suc
cessors Jiang on the clothesline,
thoroughly nlrcd aad Happing In the
breezes. Parallel evolution being a
fact, all of us can accept It, even the
layman and the orthodox clergyman.
All can readily admit, for Instance,
thnt every human being has 28 bones
in his cranium, Identical with those
of reptllln and amphibia. Beyond that
fact, no one need admit or deny origin,
but merely stand pat or pick out his
own ancestor. . . . All past theories of
descent having been abandoned for
want of connecting links, we find our
selves Just where Agasslz left mat
ters, with only his doctrine of mul
tiple origin with which to tie. W.
II. Ba)rou, th North American Re
view. Clashed With Spain In 1854.
Tho Spanish-American war of 1808
was the second time that trouble de
veloped between Spain nnd the United
States, originating In Cuba. In 1854
tho "Black Warrior," a steamship be
longing to United States citizens, wns
seized in the harbor of Havana, and
declared confiscated. The proceedings
aroused feeling against Spain, and
diplomatic exchanges took place at
Madrid, the owners demanding In
demnification of $300,000. The Spanish
government proved reluctant and at
length the Ostend conference was held
to adjudicate tho matter.
The vessel was finally released on
payment by the owners of a fine of
$0,000, and amicable relations with
Spain wero restored.
