Very large crowds, including many
freshmen, attended the Golden Belt
Pair, which was held just, outside of
ihe Henderson city limits for four
days and nights, last week, October
23, 24, 25, 20.
The exhibit hall was well arranged.
Some of the exhibits were agricultur
al booths and cooking and canning
displays. The Midway was enjoyed
by every one and some of the rides
were the Chair-Plane, Caterpillar,
Linyy Loop, Tilt-a-Whirl, and two
iForris Wheels. The sideshows and
other entertainments were placed
around the midway. Free acts and
fireworks, given every night, also
drew many people.
A few of the Freshmen boys who
belong to the Boy Scouts stayed at
the fair grounds all the time *hat. it
was possible. They helped take up
tickets for the rides and shows, pa
trolled the grounds, and did other
things to make the fair a success.

FIFTEEN .MINUTES later Green
leaf. white and disheveled, and Plane,
gun in hand, tried to enter the door
to the Black Chamber. There was
lio sound within but from under the
tloor came a thin wafer of light.
“Door's bolted,” said Greenleaf.!
“\Y e'll have to go in by the secret ;
entrance.”
Downstairs again and up another j
stairway, a flashlight turned on the j
secret lever which opened the door !
“My God,” exclaimed Greenleaf, 1
•It's been used!*’#
Blane held Ids electric torch close.
The secret entrance had not been
tightly shut. Someone had come and
; gone iii those irreparable minutes.
Greenleaf, guessing, what would
confront him, pushed the door open j
• gnd entered. The room was bright
ly lighted! .. The vessel over the Buh
t sen burner still gave oft’ its brown
fumes which were sucked into the
ventilating hood above. Across a
desk on tho farther side of the room,
the telephone receiver clutched 'n
liis d'end hand, lay the body of Cap
tain Bill 'Martin.
“Dead,” said Blane after a swift
Inspection. "Right through the brain,
jle never knew what bit him.”
Greenleaf said in a still voice, "He
saw it coining and tried to give me
the rest. The message broke off.
That’s when he saw the gun. He
Said two words and then I heard the
shot, and the crash of the fall.”
Carefully he searched around and
under the body and in the pockets.
“Os course, the letter is gone.
That’s what they were after. But
who, Blane, knew about that en
trance? I never told even Bill or
Jake. ' You and J, so far- as 1 know,
are the only ones who knew of it.”
“Evidently,” ,< said Blane, “we
, kidded ourselves. Smart work on
; the part of someone.”
Greenleaf nodded sombrely.
"That's so. Wo know now what
we're up against."
Blane began to swear in a low hor

patiently.
“Sure we’ll All them full of holes.
If we ewn. or bring them before a
firing squad which will he belter.
But—” He looked at Blane.
“Yes, what?” Blane asked.
"We’ll have to shut this up some
how. We’ll give it out that Bill was
called away on some secret commis

and clues spoiled. What do you
think?"
Blane nodded gloomily.
"His wife?” he asked.
"She’ll have to know, of course,
but we can ask her to keep it quiet
for a while. Patriotic duty, it is a
patriotic duty.”
Blane cleared his throat. He said
huskily,
“you’re right, of course. But 1 hate

Joel's new party dress was a mul
berry colored silk. She laid it ten
derly on the bed and looked at it
with affection before she put it on.
Os herself in it she was more critical.
Too dark, she thought. Beside the
countess she would seem dark in
deed. But probably she wouldn’t be
beside the countess except perhaps
for a moment. It. would be a swell
affair, no doubt, with a lot of the
Washington bigwigs and no one
would look at her, except perhaps
Mr. Greonleaf. And if he looked at
her at all it would be as a secretary
only. She rather wondered why -*e
had accepted the invitation, for she
guessed that parties, dances espe
cially, bored him. No doubt it w r as
to catch a glimpse of the countess.
And she a married woman. A
woman was only interesting to some
men when she was married, a rather
improper state of affairs. she
thought, though perhaps interesting
for the women.
I She was all dressed and ready
i when lie called. He’d not like to
| wait, so she was down the stairs two
[•minutes after the maid inelegantly
| announced, “He’s come. Miss.”
Greenleaf was standing contemplat
ing a bad portrait of one of Mrs.
Harris’ aristocratic ancestors. He
carried a broad-brimmed felt liat in
his hand, and her heart sank. He
turned, and she saw that he was in
evening dress and looked better than
she had feared. Someone should tic
his ties for him , though. His was
slightly askew. She thought of of
fering to straighten it but decided
hotter not.
"You’re prompt.” he said. “Effi
ciency."
r He did not smile, however, and his
’ 'voids seemed mechanical, as though
his thoughts were somewhere els®.
The beautiful mulberry silk via
mum number of points, and it is hop
ed, as soon as possible, to require a
minimum number for the *pupils to
graduate.
The purpose of the point system in
our activities would be to develop a
talent in particular phases of extra
curricular work without straining the
mind or body of the individual, and to
enter into school activities. The de
tails of the plan will be worked out.
by a committee.
THE GIRL’S GLEE CLUB

' Girl's Glee Club has, it is certain to

H-ifaily wasted on him.
He helped her into the taxi, di
rected the driver, and got in beside
her. Why didn't he say something-
Instead he sat preoccupied. She
made conversation because she was
ill at ease. •
“Sorry Captain Martin has been
called away?” he repeated after her
•‘Oh. yes. of course.” He looked out
of the window' and was silent. Then,
“Fn this business a man’s likely to
be called away any time."
“It’s a secret where he’s gone?”
she asked.
He looked straight ahead ae
though he hadn't heard.
She thought it rather foolish thal
she shouldn't know where Hill had
gone. As though she would tell
Probably it didn’t matter anyhow
and was just a part of the official
way of doing things. Men seemeo
to like that sort of thing, it was a
con\ ention of the game they played.
Jake said war was a game, too, and
she had been patriotically indignant.
Yet his words had stuck in her mind.
She wondered what he would be like
at a. party. Awkward probably, but
he would be entertaining.
Greenleaf said abruptly,
“Sometime tonight, if I stand In a
doorway and nod to you, 1 wish
you’d make your excuses to your
partner and come out of the room.
I may want you. It will be late
probably.”
She wondered what his vagueness
might conceal. He answered her
thought.
“Business, official business,” he
said. “Even at parties we have it
with us. But I hope you have a
good time before that.”
“I’ll gladly give up the dancing,”
she began.
But he said brusquely that she
shouldn’t. It was part of her job to
dance. j
She resented that. To appear at
the dance as an official duty was
quite another thing than to go for
pleasure. She felt rather dashed.
Yet it was a part of the way things
were done in Washington. All these
functions were only the glittering
surface. The young people prob
ably liked them, but to older people
they were only official duties. She’d
never be like that, never. When she
ceased to enjoy dancing and the in
toxication of bright lights and that
sort of thing, she'd know life wa»
over.
