Show 1 THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH PARADE fcy Evelyn Campbell (Copyright by Evelyn Campbell.) WNU Service t, O wracking, disturbed her mood. She glanced' rather helplessly around the lighted car, and her eyes encountered those of the good looking young man across the aisle, who at that moment chanced to be looking toward her. Across the tall backs of sections all through the coach other inquiring faces peered, most of them stupid and anxious. The possibility of an accident had aroused every one from the languor of dullness that belonged to such a day. r ' What is it? Linda asked, speaking quite naturally to the young man, who seemed to have 'absorbed all the intelligence of all the' passengers. Have we run Into a wall or a ditch? He smiled, appreciating her coolness when the other women were already beginning to flutter. One or both, he answered easily. Im afraid weve met the Waterloo of trains passing through Nebraska In can be a wall January. He had the and a ditch as well. pleasantest smile. It crinkled his eyes at the corners and they smiled, too. Nice brown eyes that had a remarkIll go ably straight look about them. and see, he said, and swung oft down the aisle after the other men who were pushing one another in the passage. .Linda leaned back and waited. She was a seasoned traveler and knew that fretting got no one anywhere. So be- , CHAPTER II Continued There was one smaH-sheof certificates that Linda had, been advised not to sell for two years, at least But these went'Into a brokers hands before Mr. and1 Mrs. Courtney Itoth left Boston. However clever one may be,, there are times when currency is absolutely necessary, and Roth explained that with a lovely young bride on his hands .this was one of the times. He passed lightly overc the fact that it was Lindas money that furnished the means of their migration... He forgot the unpleasantness as quickly as possible, and advised her to do the same. The Roths went? abound the world, but not as rapidly as they had planned. It took two years to go as far as they had counted on going in six weeks. But they did not! travel as the crow flies ; they went as the fox runs from cover to cover, wherever the grass was greenest and the hares most plentiful. Not! a bad two years, if you didnt care too much, a gay two years If restaurants lovely frocks were enough; if you didnt mind ugly scenes with landlords, and , delayed luggage. If you , were careful about making friends and chose them among people who had delightful houses and played bad cards. Linda was made amazingly beautiful and interesting by all this travel and change, and Courtney, Roth held his head higher than ever. Wherever they went people remarked about them. What a lucky pair. They have everything. Good looks, popularity, Life Is perand wonderful times them. for petual play ItJ was a desperate sort of play that, carried on rather grimly behind the scenes. Linda learned all her husband could teach her In those two years, and if she did not respect him she liked him in a tolerent way, pitying his boyishness and sometimes even admiring his coolness in the face of overwhelming ' situations. ' But Roth had lived for ten years when Linda lived one. He was burned out with peculiar fires and he wanted to rest, though never suspecting his own tiredness. " It was a game, however,' that had no breathing spaces. The mad whirligig of change held both of them relentlessly. He grew to depend 'more and more upon Lindas Ingenuity in managing, and when she failed or seemed to fail, he became victimized by a silly, futile rage that blamed her for their particular predicament. It took them two years to get to Switzerland, but they reached there at the proper moment. The ice was at its best and all the winter sports were as keen as if the weather had ' been ordered by aerial wire, . ' ' ; Roth meant to, enjoy every moment of it. , He liked snow and there were some new stunts that year. But three days after their arrival he had an uncomfortable interview with the manager of the fhotei: ' He promised to move on that night; then he went upstairs and struck Linda across the face with a blow that left an ugly mark for time to come. He left her lying across the bed shielding her shame, and swaggered put, determined to have his play to the last. He had it for two hours. Later they brought him in on a stretcher with a broken neck, and that was the end of a honeymoon that should never have begun. af r . Morrows Name Linked With That of Cortes Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow has linked his name to that of Her-na-n Cortes, the famous' fmjish cap! tain who conquered iCo in the name of her grat,wiis ''majesty Isabella, Catholic queen of Spain. Cortes, charmed with the unparalleled climate of Cuernavaca, 50 miles south of Mexico City, ordered a castle built for himself in the early days of the Sixteenth century. Morrow, 400 years later, equally captivated by the town of everlasting spring season, established his summer residence there and decided to have the Cortes castle decorated as a gift to the city. The castle at present is the home of local authorities. Its turrets rise over roofs of serried houses as a landmark and serve as an attraction for tourists. The walls are being decorated with richly colored frescoes by Diego Rivera, a painter who has achieved notoriety for his Communistic activities. Congress had to pass a bill permitting the decoration of the castle, one of the oldest buildings on the continent, and the embassador paid $22,000 to Rivera for his work. Men!
