Wind, which for a short time reached hurricane proportions, accompanied the storm which struck the southern part of Lake county early last Monday evening leaving in its wake a trail of twisted trees and overturned build-, ings in the vicinity of Prairie View. To add to the damage a heavy fall of hail struck at the same time break^ ing windows and damaging the standing crops in the farming community in that section.

NAME JUDGES FOR FALL ELECTION fpHE picture was terrible, and Royal ,shuddered, thinking of the dreary hotel lobby and the three blocks of sleet and muck he'd have to walk through to get there. He hesitated, uncertain for a moment, and then settled back against the seat and closed his eyes. , At least the theater was warm. The chair shook, disturbing his doift and he looked Op Irritably as a d|m shape slid into a seat beside him. He had one glimpse of a white face and then, with no preliminaries at all, the girl produced a tiny handkerchief and proceeded to cry Into It with quiet "Abandon. Royal watched with a detached sort of interest, wondering idly If she had marked him as the victim for soma lachrymose racket of which he had never heard. But after a while* Royal reached out and took her hand tn hla f e w o . • _ . . . • • Thera was a frantic and unsuccessful tug, and then the girl turned a quick, startled glance toward the empty seats all Ground them. "If jou scream I'll turn you loose," Royal warned firmly. He let her consider that possibility for a moment, and went on: "You were crying, you Jjunow." "I-- It was because of the picture." "It is a lousy picture,, It almost moves me to tears, too^--- There was another half-hearted tug to release her hand. . ---- "You're laughing at me." "On the contrary, I feel very* much like crying with you. Perhaps if you'd tell m*--" "There Isn't anything to teli," "I thought perhaps ther* was a •boy--" .. "There is not J* ~ "--who at this rery moment If being nice to some blond siren," "Her hair was hehnaed!" , "The color doesn't matter. She's a cat Just the same." "I'll never speak to him again." • "Serves him right for running away to. dinner with a red headed "siren when he could be with a swell---" "Blond," she replied. "How did you know that he took her out to' dinner?" "Trust a woman like that to take him where STTe can wear her most b0r coming evening gown. They'll probably at the Blue Bonnett right now.'t; j "The Pjfiza!" "What a coincidence! I wanted to go there tonight, b\it I detest dining alone."

He was a hefty twenty-one, no doubt played guard on his footbfdl team, and, Royal reflected, ha was quite capabla of making a battle ground of the restaurant "Now, Dorothy--" "Betty." "Now. Betty, yon like me floe, and 1 am very fond of yoo. We can't have Oscar--" "His name Is Bill" . "We can't hare Bill thinking you're eating your heart out for him. That's ( not the Idea at all. Tm not such a bad looking duck myself, and-- Stop looking at me as If I was your father." Royal bad to admit that she wis doing a very good job of liking htm. Har eyes were beginning to glow tenderly. It was their second dance together, and he was a little bit startled whfn an abrupt hand fell on his shoulder and Bill stood with arms outstretched toward the girl, Ignoring Royal. "Sorry, Bub," Royal's voice was softly patronizing. "I haven't seen Betty In a long time." Betty's answer stuck somewhers In her throat, and Royal executed a flourishing reverse step that left Bill blink* Ing his atonlshment. After the dance Betty mumbled an Incoherent excuse and slipped away. Left alone, Royal suddenly noticed that the red-headed girl had changed xseat8 and now sat facing him. . The red-head was beautiful In a vital sort of way. She met his gaze across the dance floor, and there was a suggestion of a smile on her lips. Royal sighed deeply and m^de a feeble effort to bring his thoughts back Into, safer channels. Confound Bill I If Betty would only hurry back and-- No, If she would stay away a little longer, he would contrive In some/way to meet the redhead. Bill was greeting a party across the room, and he could use their mutual friends as an excuse to speak to her. At the worst, she could only Ignore him. And she had already smiled at him! She smiled again when he stopped by her table, and because the shock of It left him strangely weak, he slipped Into the chair facing her. "Couldn't we make this a--eiv--: party?" he managed to ask. "My-^-er --Betty and I, and you and BI1L Yon see, there are so many jolly things four can do." "I'm afraid we can't," Bhe answered. "You see/ yeur--er--Betty' is gone." "Gone?" "Yes, and so Is Bill They left together. I just saw them slip away." Royal pondered that; startling Information for a moment. "Gone, are they? Well, let's make It a party of two-.
