knew that whenever he fice everything in it went strangely, unimaginably wrong. So when he got back from an unwilling week at the seashore late one afternoon, he went at once to his office. It was still there, and that was something. But the bookkeeper had gone home, and Farrell, too. and there was nobody there but the office boy and a strange female.

He saw her sitting at Miss Gale's desk. "Where's Miss Gale?" he demanded, in a sort of panic. The stranger looked up with a dazzling smile. She was young, and definitely pleasing in shape, size, and color, but what did that ter? "Miss Gale's away," she said. "Away?" "Her sister sent for her.

She'll probably be back in a few weeks. But she explained everything to me," said the stranger reassuringly. Davidson looked at her more carefully. She had a lot of blond? curls all over the back of her head. she had dimples, and blue eyes, she wore a pale-blue dress with puff sleeves.

and jingling bracelets. He had never seen anyone 80 wrong. "To you?" he said. "Yes. Miss Gale came over to the agency, and she said she thought I was just the type of secretary you wanted.

Angela Loring is my name. She smiled again, and out of politeness he smiled at her, though grimly. "I see!" he said. "Now. let's have my mail, please." He was relieved to find the correspondence properly annotated and everything in order.

"Did you do this?" he asked Miss Loring. "Yeth, thir!" He leaned back in his chair. "Thanks!" said. "You needn't wait, Miss Loring." Davidson sat at his desk for an hour, and at least half of that time was devoted to thinking of Miss Loring and how he could get rid of her most quickly. When he arrived at the office next morning, early, Miss Loring was there, and she wore a pink dress.

"Lots 'n' lots of letters she said. "And four orders." That rather deflected him; he looked at the orders first. His business was growing. He manufactured curtain rods; he knew that they were the best curtain rods in the world, and he had always felt sure that in the course of time the world would beat a path to his door. Late in the morning Banks came in.

Banks had been Davidson's roommate at college. He was now running a small advertising agency, Former Ball Player Nominated in Atlanta By Staff Correspondent.

weather bureau statistics for the past six months showed that rain and snow over the midMississippi valley had been tionally heavy. The one dark spot in the map was a belt of extraordinary light precipitation immediately east of the Rocky mountains from North Dakota and Montana to Texas. Rainy Season Ahead This western plains region, extending from the Dakota bad lands to the Rio Grande, usually receives its rainfall during the three spring months of March, April and May. If this fails this year, these sections are in for A worse drouth than last year, officials predicted. Already dust storms have been reported from these sections where less than half the normal precipitation was reported.

"The drouth over a large area had been broken but over the ern plains there has been no relief whatever," said Joseph B. Kincer, chief of the division of climate and crop weather. More Snow for Mountains In the great basin west of the Continental Divide, precipitation was slightly below normal although much more satisfactory for the farmers than last year. More snow is stored in the mountains which may be used for irrigation purposes than last year, it was pointed out. The sub-soil in this section needs more rainfall but the conditions are far superior to last year.

The Eastern Ohio valley also was below normal but this region immediately west of the Allegheny mountains was not severely hit by the drouth last year. Midwest Above Average As an example of the tremendous increase in rain and snowfall throughout the mid-Mississippi valley, Kincer cited La Crosse. where the precipitation lacked only one per cent of being double the normal. Other cities all the way down the Mississippi river to the gulf were far above average. The lowest precipitation figure in the distressed western plains area was reported from Amarillo.

where only one quarter of the normal rain fell. Other representative reports from the area included Pueblo, 38 per cent of normal: Cheyenne, 44 cent. and Bismarck. N. 49 per cent.
