My business is to love and serve, worship and glorify God. In do ing this I am to keep His holy com mandments, walk humbly, meekly and lowly before Him, keep in close touch and sweet communion with Him, live in obedience to His Werd and will daily and hourly. I must “pray without ceasing,’’ and 'In everything give thanks.’’ I must keep my affections set on things above, not on things on the earth. I must practice the means of grace at all times and under all circumstances. God’s holy Word must be my daily study and daily food. I must keep in the footprints of Jesus all along life’s journey, though oftentimes they lead in rough and thorny pieces of tests and trials.^ My business is to love all man kind, and do all the good I can to all the people I can, in every place I can, In every way I can, and just as long as I cnn. I must not be an enemy to any person on earth; but if I have enemies I must love them, pray tor them, do good for evil to them, and help them to find and serue the Lord Jesus Christ, and point and lead them heaven ward if possible. At least I must show them the Christlike spirit, and this includes all that I have said, and more. My business is to live right be fore God and man, regardless of how my fellows live. I must not be influenced by them in the wrong direction. I must not cater to their desires and whims If this is con trary to Ood and His holy 'Word. I must stand straight, walk straight and live straight. My business is to wield a good' influence over my fellows by abstaining from all Mn and wickedness, and by living the Christian life. I must show them that there is reality in the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. I must reveal to them that I have some thing in my heart that the world can’t give, neither can it takeaway. My business Is to live righteoue- ly, soberly and godly in tnis pres ent world. This is reasonable, this is right, this is absolutely necessary in order to reach heaven at last. I must not love the evils of the world, nor its material values to the ex tent that they weuld come between my soul and the Saviour. I must lay up my treasures in heaven and not upon the earth. Here moth corrupts and thieves break through and steal. Up there in the glory world are no thieves and no moth. Heaven is free from all that is evil, all that is contaminating. Halle lujah! My business is to be an honest, truthful man. I can’t af ford to be anything else, and neith er can you, my dear reader. Hon esty and truth is absolutely essen tial to a good experience with the Lord, essential' to good character and influence, essential to ‘noble and successful living and victorious dying. If one is destitute of this he is lacking In Christianity and true goodness and greatness. He is lacking in dependability. He cannot have the confidence of his fellows. They oan’t trust him. My business is to travel heaven ward. I must continually look up and climb up. I must keep my face turned in the right direction; for we travel in the direction our face is set. I must be spiritually and heavenly minded, not earthly and sinfully minded. I must pos sess the mind and spirit of Christ'. I must think dean thoughts, speak deun words, do clean deeds, live a dean life. I must feed my mind on good food, and this is to be found In the Word of God, in the best of books and literature and a- mong the best people. I must keep good company. This is my busi ness. I must likewise be good com Home-Coming And Singing at Center. Next Sunday, Sept. 7th, is the annual • home-coming and singing at Center Methodist Church, (our miles west of Mocksville, on the Statesville highway. Hundreds of men, women and children from Davie and adjoining counties, will be present. One of the high lights of the day is the old fashioned country dinner which is spread on large ta bles on the church lawn. Luther Tutterow, prominent mer chant of Center, is master of ceremonies: Center church was organized more than one hundred years ago. The public is given a warm invitation to be present for this big event. An interesting program has been arranged. Good singing by choirs and quartettes. pany. I ought to give the world as good as I expect to receive. I ought to make the world better by having lived in it. This is my bus. iness. Is it yours? It ought to be; it must be if you are going to live right and reach heaven. If you are going to be a success in life and help others to live sue cessfully. My business is to save life, not destroy it. I must be a soul-win- ner. I want to live, pray, advise, warn, give, labor ann toil for the salvation of precious souls. I want to see mankind gloriously saved and wonderfully sanctified. I must lead sinners to the old rugged cross, down at the feet of Jesus, that they may repent nnd be born of toe Holy Spirit—born from above. “The way of the cross leads home,’’ and leads to life eternal and away from death and damnation. Amen. Falliug Behind. The rate of production of defense materials has increased relatively little since last January, despite warning from leading defense offi cials In the past few months that production must be vastly increased if the nation is to secure vitally needed weapons In sufficient quan. tily and in time.

Recently I came to the countv to secure and prepare for permanent preservation sketches of all white churches in Davie county. Having worked in tbe county at three dif ferent times, I know the countv is rich in historical interest. This work is being done over the state and couatry by the WPA; sponsor ed by the Federal government for the preseevation of much valuable history that might be lost forever. Securing accurate information is very difficult. For you to know something of what the worker is asked to do, I will list the ques. tions to be answered: I Nante of countv. 2. Location of church. 3. Exact name of the church. 4 . Exact name of denomi nation to which church belongs. 5. name of association, diocese, con ference to which church . belongs. 6. Date organized. 7 Sketch of dead churches. 8. Earlier names of church. 9 . Other affiliations. 10. Description of previous buildings. 11. Date present building dedica ted. 12 Daieanddescriptionofall repairs. 13. Description of present building. 14 . Full name of first settled pastor. 15 During what years did he occupy the position. 16. Describe his educational back- * ground. 17. Fullnameandaddress of present pastor and years he' has served. 18. List. all unpuhlished sketches of the church that can be found 19. Pubsished histories and sketches or directories. 20. Histor ical sketch of the church as com plete as possible, reason for organ, ization, names of persons responsi ble for organization,- changes in church body, changes in denomi national affiliation. Tbe above is the barest outline, but indicates what the worker is expected to do'. Few people have any special interest in even the his tory of their own local church, ne vertheless, some of its past history, struggles and accomplishments is necessary to inspire tbe greatest loyalty in those now living. I am entirely dependent on the pastors and people to help me secure accur ate information. These sketches will be published and permanently preserved. Another feature ot the' work done is to inform anyone wishing to study the history of a denomination in the countv jnst where and what tbe sources of in fo, matlon are. Tbe worker is requested to visit every cemetery, public and private, and take every name prior to 1914. In 1914 we had a vital statistics law go into effect, and since that date all births and deaths are on record. The number of graves made sin^e 1913 is called for, and the number of graves having no tombstones. This article Is written with the hope it may interest the people of all the churches in the collection and preservation of the story of their own churches—in many cas es'the story of tbeir own ancestors, of which everyone should be proud. Much history, entirely too much, is alreadjr forever lost, but with the assistance of those- who have cherished traditions, much may yet be reclaimed. Please help me re1 claim it. CHAS. H. UTLEY.

Ninety four farms in 2 0 North Carolina counties, including Sttrry, Davidson and Davie in the Pied mont section, are being used to de monstrate the value of potash In a well balanced and properly man aged farm products in the state, ac cording to E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at N. C. State College. Purpose of the demonstrations is to measure the farming progress and improvement in living stand ards on the farms which are co operating as whole units with tbe program sponsored by the exten sion service and supported by all state branches of United States De partment of Agriculture. Basic information about each of the participating farms, such as number the people, average operat ing cost and living cost, cropland acreage, pastures, crops grown, tax rates, mortgages and interest rates, has been compiled to measure and compare progress made on tbe farms trom year to year which may be directed entirely to the proper use of potash on cropland and pastures, the agronomist explained. Ga* Problem May Be Solved. If one bad paused a metnent to consider how things are done in A- merica, that one wonld not have been entirely dismayed by tbe pros pect of doing without the family car this winter. .. Even if tbete were a shortage of gas, American inventiveness would soon have fonnd an “ersatz” sub stitute. But there was no short, age in the liquid fuel, merely a lack of tracksportatton facilities. Sure ly it would not take Yankee brians long to untangle that problem. There is oil in tbe West aod here is the need in the East. Thesitna- tion resolves itself into tbe more or less simple question of making tbe twain meet. Rallying its forces in the face of this new crises, tbe oil industry seeks to find the solution in pipe lines, not pipe dreams. Eleven large oil firms have presented plans for the longest single pipe lines in the world from Texas and Louisiana to Philadelphia and New York. It seems not quite sensible that the people of the United States should “starve” for oil while there is plenty. From a layman's stand point, it would appear tbe wiser thing for the government to expe dite the flow of oil from the pro ducer to consumer to cut down on consumption in the face of abund ance If pipe lines are the best so lution of the problem, then the sooner the work of laving these lines get under way the better for tbe individual citizen and for tbe defense effort.—Twin City Sentinel.

In the first World war the maha rajah placed his entire fighting force of 30,000 highly trained Sikhs at the British service and after the war, when revolutionary disturbances oc curred in the Punjab, he mobilized his troops who took over the pro tection of railroads running through the Punjab to the northwest frontier. Sir Bhupindar Singh, ruler of Patiala, second largest state in the Punjab section of India and one of the wealthiest of India’s potentates, has often bedazzled London and other world capitals with his Oriental splendor. He is six feet tall, broad shouldered, black bearded. He goes turbanned, gloriously enrobed, be spangled with precious jewels. A conservative estimate has placed his annnai income at $4,- 000,000. He lives up to such a sum, certainly. If a dog strikes his fancy he will pay $1,500 for the animal, provided he can get it no cheaper, and for a pair of flamboyant trousers of spe cial weave he makes no bones about parting with $1,300. Last time he was in London with a hundred retainers, a retinue as magnificent as any glorified pag eant, he took an entire floor of a great Strand hotel.

SAMUEL GOLDWYN has a sure-thing combination in Bette Davis and Director Wil liam Wyler, who’ve just done “The Little Foxes’* -for him. They were responsible for “Jezebel,” which won the sec ond Academy Award for Bette, though a lot of people thought she’d given: ■ better per formances in other pictures. They also did ‘.‘The Letter,” a hit film. Bette is working ilbw 'in “The Man Who Came to Din ner,” and likes it because it’s legiti- ™ mate comedy; the !I com edy she did Si with Jam es’Cag ney, “The Bride C am e C. O. D.,” wasn’t so much to her liking, be cause it was slapstick stuff. Bette Davis John Garfield And RKO, which releases "The Little Foxes,” may have. a sore thing on its hands in Terry Frost. He is the last of the three men who played “Killer Mears” in the stage version of “The Last Mile.” Pro ducer Bert Gilroy picked him for a part in Tim Holt’s “Cyclone on Horseback," in which Frost wilt make his film debut after a wait of 11 years. And—the other two men who played “Killer Mears” were Spen cer Tracy and Clark Gable—and' it was Gilroy- who picked Gable for his first film, “Painted Desert.” So, if good things come in threes, Terry Frost is headed straight, for star dom. A matrimonial expert, who’s been asking American wives “What has Chades Boyer that your husband doesn’t have?” maintains that 70 per cent of the country's married women are in love with male stars.

Blues,” was sus pended; - and Rich ard Whoif, the very talented'actor who has appeared so of ten on the stage with Lunt and Fon- tanne, replaced him. Garfield was as signed to “Bridges Are Built at Night,” and all seemed well.But it wasn’t, and now he’s been suspended again, and again Whorf has replaced him. Seems to be be coming a habit. Maybe Garfield has forgotten the rumpuses Bette Davis and .James Cagney had with the sam^ studio—and that both of them went back to work at the same old stand when the fuss was finally settled. , . .. Guy Lombardo has been having a lot of fun with those lyricized com mercials, superimposed over a mu sical background, and radio audi ences like them so much...that he’s decided to make them a regular fea ture of his Saturday evening pro grams. Tom Hanlon, announcer on Gene Autrey’s CBS Sunday program, “Melody Ranch,” figures that he’s on his way up, in motion pictures. He recently played a scene with Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas at the Metro studio. He did a com mercial announcement which they were supposed to hear^oyer the ra dio during an important Sequence. But—he worked , just out' of camera range on the set with the Swedish star. Bed Skeiton-has alfeadjr arrived at the top, if reports of what pre view audiences thought of. “Whis tling in the Dark’’ are' a prophecy.

S Lesson for September 7 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Relieious Education; used by permission. REVELATION: A MESSAGE TO ' PERSECUTED CHURCHES LESSON TEXT—Revelation 1-3. .. GOLDEN TEXT-Be thou ‘ faithful unto death, and I will give thee- a crown of life.— Revelation 2:10; The Revelation is so little known that we need part of our first lesson for an introduction to the book. 'The fact that this is a “revelation” which Uod gave to Jesus Christ, “to show Uhto his servants things which must shortly come to pass” (1:1), should make us all eagef'tcr stady. it. But it is significant that th^ce. IsVtf promise of special blessing to those who do read ..(1:3), and a solemn warning against tampering with the book (22:18,19). Quite evidently God places- great importance on-'- the reading and study of this book. Can we do less? The'book is not easy to interpret, and men have ,differed greatly as to its meaning.- There ire four gen eral schools of interpretation: (I) The preterist, • which puts it all in the past. Since many of its pre dictions have not yet taken place, this view seems untenable.' (2) The idealist, which regards the book as being entirely symbolical of spiritual principles. , There is ..truth to this vieftr, but it does not cover the his torical events mentioned in the Revelation which are yet to take place in the world. (3) The histori- cist, which regards - the book as mainly an outline of church history. This too fails to account for prophe cies yet unfulfilled. (4) The futurist : (which seems to be the best view); namely, ' that chapters two and three, while relating to actual churches then in existence, also out line the entire history of the church, and that the remainder of the book relates to future events. This is the interpretation which is largely held by conservative Bible teachers.' A brief outline of the Revelation is found (1:19) in the book itself: I. “The. things, which thou hast seen” '(John’s vision)—chapter I. _ 2. “Tlje things which are” (the seven; churches)—chapters'2 and 3. 3. “The things which shall be” (the six sevens; namely, seals, trumpets, personages, vials, dooms, and new things)'—chapters 4 to 22. Our lesson portion brings before us two of the seven churches of Asia—Ephesus and Smyrna—with their lessons for our day. L The Ephesus Church—Active but Cold, and Facing Judgment (2:1-7). Following the salutation and the glorious vision of the Son of man (do not fail to read it, Rev. 1:9-18), John the apostle, who was the one to whom the vision came, is directed to write to the church at Ephesus, address ing it through “the angel” of the church. We do not know who he was, but since the word 'means “messenger,” it may refer to a lead ing officer or elder. The picture '-of1 the church at Ephesus was a very beautiful one. It was an active church, not afraid to work, patient under trial1, 'com- mendably impatient with sin and worldliness. It was not afraid to exercise discipline, to discredit false apostles, and to stand against the evil works of the worldly-minded. There would seem that there could be nothing more said for a church, but there was a vital note lacking. In activity they were perfect, but they had departed from their first love. What is meant by leaving their first love? “First love is the aban donment of all for a love that has abandoned all . . . The church at Ephesus was still a remarkable church, but it lacked the element of that enthusiasm, which in the eyes of the calculating worldling, is im prudent. There are some people who imagine that this lack of en thusiasm is an advantage. May God have mercy on such. I pray the day may never come when the heroisms and enthusiasms of first love shall cease” (G. Campbell Morgan). Repentance was called for, or God said He would extinguish the light of that church. The lesson for us is that cold orthodoxy will kill a church. D. The Smyrna Church—Poor but Faithful, and Facing Persecution (2:8-11). This is one of the two churches of the seven for which there is no word of rebuke, Philadetohia being the other. It was a poverty-stricken "church humanly speaking, but: rich in the sight, of God. Such a church may be more useful to God and more precious to Him than a large church which is cold and indifferent. What does He have to promise this church? Persecution. We who'fol low Him upon whom men spat, who was so buffeted and despised, yes, even crucified—shall we be sur prised if a hostile world persecutes us? Note that the Lord Imew all about their sufferings, both present and future. He' was with them and would-continue to be.with them, >so they had no occasion to fear. TTien at the end of their suffering there would, be the crown of life. Woolknits, Jerseys, Gay Plaids 4Big Three’ Campus Wardrobe By CHERIE NICHOLAS it I W J ? \ fT sHIS is the home-from-vacation time of the year and “so what”? There’s no guess work about the answer. Throughout 'shopping dis tricts from coast to coast the very air is vibrating with the message of a wild “rush” in pursuit of clothes such as go to make up the perfect campus and classroom wardrobe for Miss Collegiate and her pert little sister, who must an swer “present” when the back-to- school role is called. Campus clothes collections are so intriguing this fall it is going to be difficult to arrive at actual choices. After you have window shopped and looked to the limit', the better part of wisdom is to calmly and delib erately take time off to go into con ference with yourself. To think it through with the aid of notes you jotted down as you meandered through miles and miles of aisles and aisles of sports'clothes -sections, -dress shops and departments,, mil linery displays and so on. Sifting it through you’ll find that all signs point to woolknits, also handknits, jersey dresses and gay plaids (especially smart for suits) playing the role of “Big Three” in a college girl’s wardrobe. Invest in a woolknit two-piece, a plaid suit that has the “new” look silhouette. Add a jersey dress cut along a pat tern of chic simplicity as expressed in the new drop shoulders, deep armholes and sleeves cut in one with the yoke (see illustration) and you will be started in the right di rection toward a wardrobe that will serve you faithfully throughout your fall and winter campus career. A new day of triumph is dawning for knitted fashions. Sweaters es pecially were never more attrac tively designed and varied in mood. Plan to buy several sweaters for they are so versatile they tune to every occasion, from most formal to most informal and sports. The new woolknits are S im plyj amazing. One of the big favorites is the trim swank jacket, suit that" looks as if it had been expertly man- tailored of a stunning wool weave. Once try on a woolknit jacket two- piece and instantly you will be mak ing an inroad on your clothes allow ance to the extent of the amount on the price tag. Thereisagreatdeal to be said for woolknits “as is” these days. Their production has been so perfected they neither stretch nor sag and they are styled to the ’nth degree of chic and charm. See the charming machine-knit dress shown to the left in the illus tration. This casual two-piece of gold nubby wool chenille yarn has all Sie appearance of a “classy” ex clusive handknit.- Its only trim is' the knotted plastic buttons and crescent bordered pockets. With it . is worn a new and flattering hand-, knit hat made of bows that stand up behind a pompadour, the bcfars attached to a band of the same, hand-knitted yarn. The accent on: knitted and crocheted hats and -trimming details' on wool dresses is “strong” this season. Jersey for this,-jersey for that, jersey for everything from hats “to dresses and blouses is a trend that is 'bringing vast influence to bear as to what must be included in every well-ordered wardrobe of schoolgirl and college miss. For of- ifice wear, unwrinkable, unstretch- able jersey is regarded as the ideal fabric. .The jersey dress pictured to the right is designed on a pattern of simplicity that’s news for fall of] 1941. Smooth “dropped-shoulder” yoke, elongated molded midriff, ac cent on hips are exclamation points of high fashion that point to a def initely new silhouette for this casual gray jersey frock. The plaid suit in the oval also announces a sil houette so new and /'different” it is sure to intrigue the interest and fancy of every style-conscious school-faring maiden.

Brown Outstanding Color for Autumn If in doubt, choose tones of brown for your color lead in assembling a new autumn wardrobe. With brown as. a basic color, you will make no mistake. Opening displays put the emphasis on brown suits, brown dresses, brown fur coats and brown furs as trimming on cloth coats. The milliner, the jeweler and the glove maker have all joined in the brown fashion crusade this fall. With the now-so-fashionable beige and biscuit colors you will find thrill ing schemes that , call for acces sories in the new browns. The new topaz and amber jewelry is especial ly attractive. It will be very much in the foreground this fall. Brown leather buttons and beltbuckles match the new brown gloves and many' sports hats are how trimmed with brown suede or smooth-finished leather. Sweaters Very Fanciful For Modepn School Girl It .is the opinion among enthusi asts on the knitted theme that a girl starting to school should take along at least six sweaters. ; And there’s a reason. Sweaters this season cov er the entire field of both utilitarian and social needs. Then too, not only is there a sweater for every occasion but the new sweaters are simply irresistible, having taken on intriguing detail that is fascinating. You will find the new sweaters made-very fanciful with wool fringe trimmings, little dangling yarn ball treatments. Then there are quilted effects, wondrously achieved, . and plaid patternings *nd color contrast with bright yokes, sleeves and banded sections. Formal sweaters have flattering decollette treatments and sparkling embroideries. Every season the white ant or ; termite proudly produces a million baby termites to swell the world’s ant population. Toads and frogs both have large families, the for mer in the neighborhood of .6,000 at a time, and the latter half that number.Snakes are three to four times as prolific as rabbits, for whereas the latter rarely produce more than a dozen baby rabbits at a birth, a snake often produces 40. The king of the jungle, Lord ^ Lion, is- usually the proud father ',of quads, and his hereditary "enemy, the tiger, can boast of the same number.

It is a little more than a year tin til the next election, hut some of the bovs are already discussing who who is to be our next sheriff and clerk of the court. Davie county must be getting bet ter. The May terra ot court was cancelled, and the August court consumed by a little more than one day in trying Davie cases. There is always room for improvement. Major Paul Younts, former Char. Iotte postmaster, seems to be in trouble. Some laws have teeth in them, and the Hatch act may cause some of the slick politicians a little worry. Election laws some, times means nothing. It all de pends on whose ox is gored. Davie farmers have been hard bit this year. A prolonged drought early in the spring damaged the corn and cotton crop Tbis was followed by a month of constant rains which damaged bottom land corn and otber crops. Anothersix weeks of dry weather followed, which seriously damaged late corn and tobacco. The farmer is up a- gainst a tongb proposition. He is res' ricted as to bow many acres he shall put in certain crops, with no account taken of droughts and floods. But despite all the set backs, the farmer is the man who feeds us all. He is our help in our time ot need, and The Record is with him one hundred per cent. Here’s hoping better days are a- liead for the tiller of the soil. To Operate On Old Time We have been advised that all Davie county schools will operate on Eastern Standard Time. The Davie schools are scheduled to open the fall term on Thursday, Sept. I itb. A full list of all county teacb ers will appear in The Record as soon as a few vacancies are filled. Guernsey Makes State Champion Record. Peterborough, N.

N, U S ervice / Carol Coburn, Alaska-born daughter of a *bush rat" who died ‘with an unestablished mining claim, returns North to teach Indian BChool. Aboard ship, she is annoyed by Sric (the Red) Ericson and is rescued by Sidney Lander, young mining engineer. Lander merely turned his back on IJie poker-spined Miss Teetzel. “Are you going to stand for stuff like this?” he demanded, towering over me with a quick flame of in dignation lighting up his eyes.Behind me I could sense the last boat of hope burning up on the coast of desperation.^ I knew, when I spoke, that I was issuing an ulti matum. "I don’t intend to,” I quietly an nounced. Miss Teetzel flounced out of the room.Lander, when we were alone, stood a Uttle closer over me. “I got you into this,” he said, “and it’s up to me to get you out of it.”I was conscious of his bigness as I let my gaze lock with his. My laughter, I’m afraid, was a Uttle reckless.“There's nothing to be done about it,” I told him. But deep in the ashes of disaster I could feel a smaU glow of happiness at the thought Siat he was there to lean on. “Why not come back with me?” he finally inquired. "What good would that do?” I said. Lander, after looking down at me for what must have been a full half minute of silence, walked to the window and then returned to my side. “It wouldn’t do any good,” he said, with just a trace of the color ebbing from his face. “It’s aU hap pening a little too late.”“What’s happening too late?” I asked him.“Our coming together,” he said. "There are things,” he went on, “not easily talked about." “But we can at least be honest with each other,” I announced, for instinct had already told' me what he was groping toward. “Yes, we must be honest,” he agreed. And the unhappiness in his eyes made my heart beat a Uttle faster. “So it’s time,” I said,' “that we both came down to earth." “What do you mean by that?” ex acted my grim-jawed companion. “I saw the girl back on the Se attle wharf, the girl you said good- by to. And I can understand why you must play fair with her." Lander’s glance came slowly back to my face.“I’ve been engaged to her,” he said, quite simply, “for over two years now.”If I reached for a chair back, to steady myself, I at least managed to laugh a Uttle. “That’s fine,” I said, with my chin up. .“Fine?” he echoed, plainly puz zled by that lilting Ughtness of mine. “Of course,” I maintained. “For now we can go on being good triends, without any worry or threat of—of compUcations.”"Can we?" he asked as his eyes once more rested on my face. “Good pals,” I cried, “to the end of the traiL So let’s shake hands on it, like two old-timers.” He failed to observe, as we shook hands, that I had to swallow a lump in my throat. “Would yoji mind telling me,” I said when that was over, “just who she is?” It wasn’t easy for him, of course. But he faced it with a forlorn sort of casualness. “She’s Barbara Trumbull,” he ex plained. “John Trumbull’s daugh ter. We practicaUy grew up togeth er.” “Then you must have a great deal in common.” He studied my face, as though in search of second meanings. “We had,” he finally acknowl edged. “But you talk of fighting her fa ther,” I reminded him. “And I intend to fight him,” said the wide-shouldered man beside me. “But she’d feel things like that shouldn’t count between us.” When I spoke, after thinking this over, I was able to keep my voice steady. “How do you feel about it?” I asked. “I can’t answer that,” was Lan der’s slightly retarded reply. “You see, she’s coming to Alaska to get things straightened out. She doesn’t agree with her father that I’ve been disloyal to the Trumbulls.” That also gave me a moment of thought. “Then she must be very fond of you,” I heard myself saying. To that, however, Lander offered no answer. CHAPTER TI TokIutna didn’t get rid of me so soon as it expected. Two days after my scene with the acidulous Miss Teetzel I was interrupted in my packing by Katie O’ConneU. “We’re in quarantine,” she an nounced, “with two cases of scarlet fever in the infirmary.. And Ruddy says you can’t walk out on him.” “Miss Teetzel,” I reminded her, “said otherwise.” “But old Teetzel’s' out of the picture. She’s in bed with bronchitis. THE STORY SO FAR Lander, working (or the Trumbull company, which is fighting Coburn’s claim, is en gaged to Trumbull’s daughter. Though a romantic spark Is kindled, Carol is on guard against her own emotions. • Lander. Carol, and an abandoned Indian INSTALLMENT V And Ruddy says we’ve got to carry on.” - I felt less at sea after-Doctor Rud dock had me write to the Territorial Commissioner (following up, I dis covered, a secret dispatch of his own) asking' for a teacher’s posi tion in the Matanuska Valley. When I heard, by that grapevine circuit which seems to operate in all frontier countries, that John Trumbull had visited the valley and that Barbara Trumbull had flown in to Anchorage,’ it seemed like echoes out of another world. Even when I heard that Lander had taken over the management of the Happy Day Mine and that he and Trumbull had fought a wordy battle on the open platform of Matanuska station, I failed to be as excited as when Katie told me that the little Indian girl from Iliamna, up in our improvised pest ward, wasn’t going to die, after all. I kept waiting for my Commis sioner’s report. That report was neither prompt nor encouraging. It acknowledged they were in need of a teacher for Matanuska but that conditions were not suitable there for a young and inexperienced outsider. I wrote, back admitting my youth but pointing out it was a defect which time would undoubtedly cor- I wrote .back admitting my youth. rect. I also alluded to my physi cal sturdiness and my eagerness to work in the new field, with an un-' derlined postscript announcing I was Alaska born. And in the meantime both the calendar and the excite ment of our little redskinned wards reminded us that Christmas was close at hand. Then came the second- blow. For Katie and I, with Miss -Teetzel still. Weak and crabby, did what we could ’ to make the children’s holiday a' happy one. We sent to Anchorage.- for hard candy and sugar-canes and. colored candles and glitter-paper and powdered mica.: With any own' hand I cut dowA a'’spruce tree and. dragged it in over the hifis, This,, when duly installed -in..the school room we draped with strung' pop corn and emblazoned with bits of ribbon and spangled with tin stars cut out of . empty tomato cans, adding copious streamers of wrapping cord dyed red with'beet juice and snowy, handfuls of absorbent pur loined from the. surgery. And over everything we sprinkled a generous glitter of powdered .mica. It was all pathetically meager and make-believe. But the' raptness of the children’s eyes, as they stood and watched that tree, brought a lump to my throat. It paid for the long hours when Katie and I sat up wrapping oranges in red tissue pa per, one for each child, and labeling the mitts and stockings and sweat ers out of the community gift boxes from Seattle and Juneau; But my little Injins loved it all. On Christmas momiiig, in fact, when I appeared in pillow-stuffed Turkey red, as Santa Claus, they got so ex cited we had to drape the school room doors with blankets, to keep the noise from Miss Teetzel’s dis approving ears. They put on paper hats and sang “Rock-a-bye, My Lit tle Owlet” and “Jingle.Bells” and even had a try at.Handef’s “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks,” which Katie and l found it expedient to finish out-by ■ ourselves. Then they made the gafters ring with “Al- ouette;” , . .But their Uttle Indian souls eventu ally got so drunk on music and; ex citement that we had to ease them down with a sqijare dano&- And the easing down‘would have Been less dire S a little Copper River brave hadn’t chased a still smaller Innuit blubber-eater from the Kuskokwim right into our twinkling and gutter ing Christmas tree. -That collision overturned one of .the Ughted can dles. — I heard a crackle of flames j and a dozen shrill cries from a dozen Ut tle throats. Then I saw, to my Iior- baby which his dog found, spend a night ta a truck when a snowstorm traps'them. But the next day Lander is able to get them through. '* 1 Miss TeetzeL head of the schooL who re sents Carol’s youth, is shocked, and says so. J ror, that our ; tree was a tower of fire. I I snatched one of the blankets draping the doors and tried to smoth er the flames.—BaFitrWas toiAlate. The blanket took fire. Elven my; Santa Claus gown started to'burn, and I tore' it off in the picktofdBne. I knew, as I did sq,- jUst'^hat’’wtuld' happen to that old tinderbox of a building-if it ever, got gfrngt? And I remembered1 .'there were six or seven Helpiesi' childfeh iip in the infirmary.^ •• vr.olorftJB'i oi"l> 'I Katie .must, Smjembefed the same thing, for^ifte “ihbuted for me to get up to thoheiaassafeisaitiie she got the-milUng.end -swpjjgigjischobk, room group safely- out- of-the- budd ing- .-Qijji■; i .r’ Even in the fmterliall the smoke was thick as J t-aced.for the. infirm- ary. There I caught up a wailing Uttle redskin from the first bed, calling back for the others not to move as I ran for the door and hur ried down the stairs to the west-end door, where Miss Teetzel, unexpect edly active and efficient, was com manding the bigger boys to clear out the buUding known as the Ware house and spread blankets on the floor. Then I raced back for my second patient,- The smoke was thicker along the haU and stairway, and I found it harder to see. But I knew a surge of reUef when Katie passed me, carrying, a child in her arms'. Two minutes later I was safely down the stairs with the third help less tot in my arms. Miss Teetzel, as she took the patient from me, looked sharply-into my sooty and reddened face.'I. For the first time in my life I failed to see hate in her eyes. A village Indian who’d been wast ing water.and energy as one of a bucket brigade tried to stop me as I started in through the door. He. shouted that the . stairs were on fire. But I pushed him to one side and raced up through the smqke. I found what was IhK 6f the chil dren out of bed and huddled in one comer of the infirmary. There were four of them. They shrieked when they saw me, for Katie had given me a wet sheet with which to cov er my head. That seemed to keep some of the smoke away and made it easier to breathe as I groped my way down with a Uttle Nitchie in my arms. Again Miss Teetzel eyed me as I handed over another patient. “No go back,” a ragged half-breed bellowed, at me as'I faced the burn ing building. He stood there, block ing my way, with one hand clamped to either side1 of' the door. It was Katie’s vigorous kick, coming down with a child in her arms, that sent him sprawling out on the ground and gave me gangway. I could hear the crackle of timber and see flames licking ,through the stair boards as I fought my way back to the infirmary. It would, I knew, be my last visit to that room. So I caught up the two., remaining chUdren, covering their heads with my wet sheet, and felt my way to ward the hall. Their-weight, when I was so in want of Jpreath,, made' me stagger. But they helped me, in their terror, by hanging on Uke leeches. I thought, for a moment, that I was going to. faint, , I staggered'irown ttfat runway ol Ucking and dancing flames, with my shoes scorching^ from the heat and my lungs acting tor,jbne . whiff of pure air. I had, by this time, no sense of-place or-direction. - But through the‘murk I coufd make out the pale oblong of the open door. And out through that open-door .1 stumbled, stumbled straight into th» arms of Katie O’ConneU, who hnski Iy croaked, “Glory: be to Gbdf” as’ she eased me down on the trodden dooryard snow and started flailing my burning clothes with the wet end of a blanket. Then, for a min ute or two, everything went black. When I opened my eyes Katie was trying to make me Sw allow a cupful of brandy and water. “That’s the ticket,” she said. Then she busied herself rubbing oUve oil on my scorched hands'and cheeks. I didn’t know it at the time, but my eyelashes were missing and a goodly part of my front hair had gone gUmmering. “Did I get them aU?” I asked. It hurt me to talk, for my throat was sore from the smoke. “You did, old-timer,” affirmed Ka- tie. “But it nearly got you.” And with that she picked me up is her arms and carried me to the im provised barracks that--had once, been our Warehoifse. -where a. stove had been put ,up, .and floor' bunks were arranged for the children. It wasn’t long before Dgctor Rud- dock arrived on the scenii: “Hello, stoker,” he said, blinking down at me. Then he stooped for s moment to take my pulse. ‘You’ve got the stuff this country needs.”- “Fm-all right,” I told him. “You must look after the children.” He nodded. / - " “I’U .fix you up later,” he said as he put .the blanket back over my scorched clothing. “But stay wher< you are, young lady, or TH nai you down.” (TO BE CONTINUED* Grand Coulee World’s Number One, Dam Grand Coulee, biggest dam in the world, is now in action. The Co lumbia river, which has been dammed, is one of the swiftest and fiercest in the world, and to curb it a barrier has been erected which is three-quarters Jof a mile long and 500 feet high. The result will be .a lake 151 miles long, the irrigation of 1,200,- 000 acres of land, and sufficient electric power to supply an area five times the size of i England. Boulder dam,, which harnesses the Coloradp river,“With all its col lateral works, was completed in 1935. It is thrown across a terrific gorge called Black Canyon, which is 2,000 feet wide, and the lake be hind it -is 115 miles long and took three years to fill. So tremendous is the weight of water in this lake that geologists have suggested that it may cause a bending in the crust of the planet. Habits of Salmon A group of Pacific salmon, or king salmon, that inhabits the Northern Pacific waters, dies after the breeding season (July to De cember) is over, says Pathfinder. These salmon never return to the sea. Other types of salmon, however, return to the sea after spawning, and remain there until the next breeding season. All salmon live partly in the sea and partly in fresh water, breeding in the latter. They ascend rivers and tributary streams to spawn.

"Have Another?*' Smoothest excuse-maker* for liq uor are the "traffic,’’ people who make profits out of peddling a nar cotic, and the addicts, people who hurt themselves and others by drinking a narcotic. Anyone who has had anything to do with a drunkard—or a day-after* day "social drink er”—knows that he's as lull of ex cuses as he is of rum. The liquor traf fic is Ihat way too, the W.C.T.U. points out. When a business means money In a man's pocket, he'll find excuses, whether it’s for ' liquor, slot machines, or naughty pictures. , Mr. Ordinary Citizen usually de cides though that excuses aren’t worth much when they are stacked up against the considered verdict of experts, whose only interest is man kind’s betterment and not profits. Morgan Cloud, a captain of the medical corps of the U. S. Army, published a book in 1934 to give an objective report on liquor. He quot ed eminent opinion as-follows: DR. CHARLES W. MAYO: The only legitimate use of alcohol is in the arts and sciences. MARSHAL JO FFRE: Alcohol, by diminishing the moral and material strength of the army, is a crime against national defense in the face of the enemy. DR. RICHARD C. CABOT: Medi cally and socially the case against alcohol is just as clear as the case against opium. DR. HOWARD A. KELLY: There is no disease in the world for which alcohol is a cure. It does undenia bly cause thou sands of cases of disease. HORSELYAND STURGE: Alco hol weakens the heart, lowers resistance to dis ease, shortens life, impairs one’s judgment, reduces one’s earning power, is harmful even in the small est dose, delays and prevents diges tion, is a poison, has become obso lete as a remedy, kills everything that lives, preserves everything that is dead.SHAKESPEARE: O thou invinci ble spirit of wine, if thou bast no other name to be known by, let us call thee devil. A Tip to Youth "A Campns Qneenit If you want to be a B.M.O.C. (Big Man on Campus) or a Campus Queen stay away from liquor. Not only young people’s societies but an increasing number of college leaders, movie stars, society lead ers, health columnists, and etiquette experts are giving such advice to youth. “You can’t be the conquering quarterback in Saturday’s game __________1_ and have spent Friday night in a beer barrel” is the theme presented by college u n its of th e Youth’s Temper ance Council, flie youth division of W.C.T.U. “In fact the choice isn’t even left up to you. The men that the coaches se le c t fo r th e ir teams are not those with in their right arms trained to hoist beer steins.” Girls particularly are told to main tain mental alertness and physical attractiveness by complete abstinence from liquor. One effective quotation is from a “Tips to the Teens” column in a current national magazine: “A girl is never so attractive after she’s had something to drink as she was before. After a drink or two your hair sort of slips,'like a wig. It gets tired and looks it. Your eyes, supposed to shine like stars, are fixed and 'glassy, more like marbles. It all adds up to this: You are an at tractive girl or you wouldn’t be out ( I n ' parties, self less so?” "Or, a Bar-Fly?” Why make your- Without Controls Those hidden unsocial impulses which lurk near the surface in ev ery man are generally kept locked in a secret room, behind the closed door of ..self-control. Alcohol is the key which unlocks that door, ac cording to Bertha Rachel Palmer, scientific temperance education di rector for the W.C.T.U. Whatever is in that room stalks out—cruel im pulses, amorous or ugly emotions. Blowing Rock Orphan- iS^cSSiSl superb &»« age Day Successful Banner Elk, August n —Resi dents and summer visitors of Blow ing Rock contributed $3085.00 to the support of Grandfather Home for Children Sunday in an offering taken at the Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church there. Mr. David Ovens of Blowing Rock and Charlotte presided, and the devotional moment was con ducted by Rev. Walter K. Keys, the Pastor. Grandfather Orphanage Day has been a yearly custom at Rumple Memorial Church Blowing Rock for over twenty years. The contribu tions made there have been an im. portant part of the support funds of the Home, which is dependent upon voluntary gifts for its sub- sistance. Grandfathers Home for Children is a department oi the Edgar Tufts Memorial Association at Banner Elk. The other departments are: Lees-McRae College, co education al junior college, and Grace Hospi tal, a sixty-bed institution serving the mountain area. Mr. Edgar H. Tufts, president of the Association, said: “We are grateful to all those who had a part in making Orphanage Day a sue cess. Without this annual contri bution it would be very difficult in deed to make ends meet at the Home.” IS THERE W Ym, and In Yowr Attic Too!

C. “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the: everlasting arms." Deuteronomy, 33:2 7 ' To the child of Goii this is sure. Iy one of the most encouraging pas sages of scripture iri tbe Old Testa ment. It is heartening aid, assur ing. Thank God for it, ’ arid may we take it tip ourselves as His chil dren, disci\.lesanr servants Why not? ''.-'V;.:':': From ..day to day we need to en courage ourselves In the Lord, and what can be more encouraging than the precious promises of God, as suring us of His goodness, - mercy: and love toward us. His presence with us, and His mighty power to protect and keep us? Hallelujah! We can quote aud shout the prom ises' of God right in the face of the devil when he is tempting, testing and tiying us yery soreiy. God’S holy Word is the sword of .the Spi rit with which we are to qUench the fiery darts of the wicked one. Glory to God forever. It is certain that all men need a refuge from the mighty forces evil, sin and wickedness, and some, thing, to lean upon that is stronger and more dependable than, human flesh and power. We have this re fuge in God, also this strength and power upon which to lean and dev pend in His “everlasting arms.” This is enough to make us happy all the days of our life, and to shout about while passing through time, and on into the_eternal nges. “The eternal God ls thy refuge.’’ What is a refuge? Webster says it is a “shelter or protection fram dan ger or distress; a stronghold; a sanc tuary.” Now our God is all of this to His people. He is stronger than the everlasting bills and moun tains; stronger than all the forces of evil, sitt: and wickedness com bined; stronger than dictators and all their mighty armies and muni, tions of war. He can take care of His people when all hell seems tur ned loose against them. It mis so in olden times; it is so today. The eternal' God took care of Daniel in-tbe den of lions so he was not hurt or harmed, in tie least. He went into the fiery furnace with the three Hewbrews who would not bow the knee to Baal,’ thus bring ing them out. ,without ,.even ., the smell of fire upon their garments, were in the care and keeping of the: “eternal God.” He was their re fuge. . They leaned upon. His “ev. erlasting arms.” They put their trust alone'in Him and He marve lously and miraculously delivered them... He is the very, same • God today He is “from everlasting to everlasting ” He changes not: He loses no power; love; mercy and. compassion. -He was the God of Moses, Enoch and Elijah. He is the Rock amid the waves.” He is a shelter in the time of a - storm He is the same God, same Christ, who spoke to the raging sea of Ga! ilee, saying, “Peace, be sttll;” and immediately a great calm prevail ed. Bless His name. It is wonderful indeed to: know: we have a God who can protect us as we travel life’s rugged pathway. SB we fight life’s dangerous battles; as we sail life's boisterous and stor my sea^ He cares for His own: He never leaves nor forsakea His. dear children:; If th re is anv leav ing and forsaking it is on our: part and not God’s.

WiUkie caUed for unified sup port of the effort to make tbiscoun- try safe from aggression: Speaking before a- recent mass meeting in Hollywood, California, the G. O. P. Praidential candidate said'“the cure for.a bad defense program is not more opposition but more support.” “The New Deal, in my view,” Willkic asserted, “has long sought too much power, - and behind .the blind ol National Emergency is continuing to do so today.” Wtilkle declared he was unalter ably opposed” to this. It is pointed out: that our de tense program is being badly , man aged,” Willkie said, "that we are not getting ahead as fast-as we should; that Washington is in dan. ger. The President has failed in the most elementary task of man agements the task of delegation— the task of calling in.the ablest men in the country and giving them power to act. It is true that Wash ington is in confusion. It is: true that our defense program is in dan ger. But the remedy for this is not to obstruct the defense program The remedy is not to haog back, or to oppose thoseJarger aims which are involved in such moves; as that which we: have undertaken in Ice land. No, the remedy is just the' opposite of that. “ Wemust—every one of ns—ap propriate this defense: program as our own. - We must realize that In it lies our greatest hope of freedom. And we must get the kjnd of man- agement we want,: not through pet ty criticism, but-through the ap plication of the , enormous pressure of American public opinion, insist ing that a good job must be done; We must lift this: defense pro gram out of politics and above po litics. We must press every Con gteasman and every Senator to do Ua or. her utmost; even-though ^t means a political sacrifice; to make the wheels go round: and to n them go faster than anybody thought-they conll go, around.; “It is true that we should all of US have taken alarm sooner than we did. We should^ have begun to prepare , the; moment the . rise of Hitler revealedour danger. We did not.

We refer to the correct success ful attempts of numerous labor, or ganisations to hold up. government and industry, using national de fense as their blackjack.- Airplane factories — shipyards — other vital defense industries.' At Sandnskey, Ohio, workers getting $160 a week, on a defense project which- called for. time-and-a-half on -Saturdav and Sunday. For these workmen; who a year ago probably would have been glad to get $30 a week, $160 a week' isn’t enough.

We are now being told- by- some of the administration experts that the national war debt will amount to at least too btllion dollars before thing is over, We hinted tbe same thing several .months ago. We have said it before and we repeat it now that we are heart and soul against the policy, of. interna tionalism. In our opinion, every Internationalist is a traitor to God, and- home-and. native land. Ifthat bef reason, make the most of it. - Referringto the “good old days,” we might suggest that was back when no one ever dreamed that the time would come when a group of people could by-a thing called a 'strike” throw an entire commu nity info consternation, or Htat some“ emergency”- could upset the common way of life. They are figuring now that the cost of preparedness; including , all waste and graft,- may run as high as 200 trillion dollars. That sum.re presents over half of the total va luation in the United States. And it also means tax-alavery for the next two or three generations.

Hence one finds satisfaction m the news that ,the Sbuth American Bae deker is being worked up by a man of German birth who is'also a thir ty-second degree American He is Earl Parker Hanson, engineer ex plorer. geographer and writer pre paring guides to all Latin-Amencan countries, under sponsorship of the Nelson Rockefeller committee . It is revealed that the guides will spot up their material against a background of "cultural and his toric discussions." That might be more effective than sending down hoofers and spoofers. as we have been. Two volumes, containing about 800.000 words, will have been prepared at the end of this year, under Mr. Hanson's direction. . Mr. Hanson was born in Berlin. of American parents, in 1899,- eame to this country in his early : youth, attended the University' of Wisconsin and did graduate work: at the IJmversity of Chicago. He was the editor of technical publications, beginning his exploring/career in Iceland, fol- - lowed by wanderings in the Ca nadian sub-arctic, where he be-. . came a friend of Stefansson In 1931 he made studies of ter restnal magnetism for the Carnegie institution in the basins of the Ama zob and Urmoco and thereafter described the expeditionin his nota ble book,. '‘Journey to Manaos.”: .Mr-. Hanson didn’t . need a guide book .to tell him- where Adolf Hitler was heading.

Alaska-born daughter of « ‘‘bush rat*' who died with an unestab* Iished mining claim, returns North to teach Indian school Aboard ship, she Is an* noyed by Eric (the Red) Ericson and Is rescued by Sidney Lander, young mining But I refused to stay put. There Was too much to be done. I didn’t want to seem a slacker when every body was so busy. And in looking after the others I could pretty well forget the pain of my own flame- blistered face. Where the rambling old school- house had been was a stretch of smoldering ashes with the skeleton like iron bed frames and a stove or two standing there as melancholy as tombstones. And everything I owned lay consumed in those ashes. AU I had left were the few scorched clothes that hung about my tired bones. But I hadn’t time to fed sorry for myself. A special train, I was told, was already on its way from Anchor age, to pick up our homeless school • waifs and carry them on to the In dian orphanage at Fairbanks. From the pUe of emergency clothing Katie commandeered for me an oversized pair of corduroy trousers, a patched plaid Mackinaw, and a caribou par ka that had seen better days. To these Doctor Ruddock (who'd given up his little wooden-fronted office as sleeping-quarters for Katie and me) added socks and pacs and an old bearskin cap that made me look like a lady-huzzar in a busby. “What are we going to do?” I asked the ever-hurrying Doctor Rud dock when he dropped in, next day, to anoint my scorched epidermis with ambersine. “Toklutna’s off the map,” he pro claimed. “Katie will stay on here, probably until the breakup, to look after the old folks.” “Then where do I fit in?” I ques tioned with a sudden feeling of homelessness. "You fit in very neatly,” he said as he listened to my heart action. “I’d the Commissioner on the wire this morning and he agrees with me that this country owes you a berth. So you get the school job at Mata- nuska.” It took some time for this to sink in. “When?” I asked. “As soon as you get sense enough to take care of yourself,” he said with a barricading sort of curtness. “I told you to rest up, after your fire shock, and you didn’t do it. So roll up in that bunk and stay there until you get a release from me.” He stopped in the doorway, with his dog-eared old medicine case in his hand, as I none too willingly shook out the blankets of my floor bunk. "And there’s a long-legged engi neer waiting outside to see you,” he added as he watched me dutifully crawl into my bunk. “But ten min utes is his limit, remember.” I had my second shock to digest. For the waiting visitor was Sidney Lander. He stood very tall in that small office-surgery. And my appearance must have startled him a little, since he stared down at me, for a full half-minute, without speaking. . “Are you all right?” he finally asked. I had to laugh a little at his solemnity. “Just a little scorched around the edges,” I said with an effort at levi ty. But my heart was beating a trifle faster than it should have been.“I flew over, as soon as I heard,” he rather clumsily explained. He looked out the window and then back at me. “That was good work, saving those children.” “But I lost my eyebrows,” I reminded him. Lander walked to the window and back. “We’ve at least saved those citi zenship papers,” he announced. I’ve shown them to John Trumbull,” be explained, “and Trumbull claims they’re not backed up by the rec ords. That led to an argument that ended in a split-up. The Chakitana Development Company has lost its field engineer.” “What are you going to do?” I asked. His laugh was curt. “I was tying up with the Happy Day outfit,” he explained. “But Trumbull’s just trumped my ace by buying up the Happy Day.” “Does that mean you’re going out side?” I asked, trying to make the question a casual one. “Not on your life,” was his prompt reply. “We’ve got to wait until the records show who’s right in this.” “But that’s my problem,” I ob jected.“I happen to have made it mine,” he retorted with an unexpected light of battle in his eyes. CHAPTER VII I began to understand the mean ing of what they call “the deep cold” before I set out for Matanus- ka. For the snows of midwinter soon buried the ruins of our lost school. The storms along Alaska’s one stretch of railway also brought slides and broken snowsheds enough to block the line and keep trains from moving for over a week. That cloud had the silver lining of giving me a chance to make over my nondescript wardrobe, to which Oir-hea.rted Katie added a sweater •t .,-,.nl and a pair of -vmlf. THE SIOBT SO FAB engineer.

Christmas day. a fire breaks out at the INSTALLMENT Vl skin gauntlets, a trifle over-sized. She was, I think, genuinely sorry to see me go. So when traffic moved again and I mounted my day coach I found it crowded to the doors with leather faced old sourdoughs and cud-chew ing trappers and Mackinaw-clad log gers, along with a homesteader’s wife who carried an undersized pig in a slatted crate. I wasn’t sorry when the conductor, pushing his way through that overcrowded day coach, blinked down at my still heat-blistered face and said: “Next stop Matanuska, lady.” “Could you tell me,” I asked one of the men at the station, "where I’d find Mr. Bryson, Mr. Sam Bry son?” His face, when he peered up at me, impressed me as both sour and sardonic.' “I’m Sam Bryson,” he said. “The school superintendent for this district?” I persisted. “I be,” he retorted, plainly re senting my incredulous stare. “And ain’t it fit and proper, seein’ I hap pen to own that doggoned school- house over there?” I meekly acknowledged that it was. And with equal meekness I “Next stop Matanuska, lady.” told him that I was the new teacher sent on from Toklutna. “But you wasn’t to turn up here till Easter,” be said testily. “We ain’t got nothin' ready for you.” I showed him the Territorial Com missioner’s letter, which he held close to his seamed old face, his Ups moving as he labored through the undisputable message therein contained. “WeU, you should’ve got off at Wasilla,” he complained, “where you could’ve found lodgin’ until things was ready.!’ “But I’m here," I said with a smile that was entirely forced. And as he pushed back his wolfskin cap and stood scratching an attenuated forelock I quietly inquired: “Just where is my school?” He studied me with a lack-luster eye. “You ain’t got no school,” he pro claimed. “But I was sent here to teach,” I contended, trying to keep my Tem per. “Sure you was sent here to teach,” acknowledged the old-timer. “But it ain’t our fault we wasn’t rigged out with a noo schoolhouse this win ter.- Gover’ment’s so danged busy with a heap o’ highfalutin’ plans for this valley it ain’t got time to look after our needs. Spends a half-mil- Uor on that noo Injin school at Ju neau and lets us hillbillies scramble for our book-larnin' as best we can!” ’Then what am I to do?” I asked, feeling more interested in my own immediate future than in the mis takes of governmental expenditure. “I guess you’U just have, to siwash it,” he said, “the same as us old- timers did when we hit this vaUey.” “Just how win I siwash it?” I demanded. “By froggin’ through as best you can, the same as our circuit-ridiii’ sky-pilot does, 'without a meetin’- place. We was figgerin’ on you cir- culatin’ round the valley homesteads andladlin’out the book-larnin’ where it was most needed. Instead o’ them cornin’ to you, you’ll have to go to them.” '“Why can’t that old schoolhouse be used?” “She needs a. noo roof and noo floor siUs,” was the listless answer. “And I’m danged if I’m goin’ to dig down for ’em.” “Are you trying to teli me,” I quavered, “that I’U have to go from farm'- to farm, like a mail carrier, and give my lessons in a kitchen?” “You’ve guessed it,” he wearily acceded. "Only. you’Jl be plumb lucky to be stretchin’ your legs out in a warm kitchen I've got a girl ove- home right how. rarin’ to git school when the children, are playing rounq the Christmas tree. The school bums down. Carol proves the heroine, saving the chil dren.. The doctor orders her to bed. The fire left Carol without clothes and without definite plans. polished up a spell on her readin’ and writin’. And if you ain’t willin’ to do your teachin’ on the wing that- away, until this valley gits a real schoolhouse rastled together, I guess, lady, you’re mushin’ up the wrong trail.” There was no mistaking the finali ty of that statement. "But where am I to live?" I asked as I stared at the snow that stood so white between the gloomy green of the sprucelands. “We was figgerin’,” he explained, “on settin’ you up in the old Jansen shack. That’s just over the hill there behind that tangle o’ spruce. But you’d sure have some tidyin* up to dp afore you got set there.” He looked with a, frown of disapproval at my sprawi of luggage. “ ’Bout the best thing for you to do, lady, is to leg it over to the Eckstrom farm and see if they’d take you in for a day or two.” I had, however, no desire to go wandering about that-snowy world asking strangers to take me in. I wanted my own roof over my head. And, I so informed the morose Mr. Bryson. Jqst then I became conscious of a strange 'figure making its way down the opposing hillside. It,was a man carrying the carcass of a deer, a ragged and shambling man with a rifle and a tined head above his stooping shoulders. It was Sock-Eye Schlupp. “I’ll be homswizzled if “it ain’t Klondike Coburn’s gal,” he said. “What’re you doin’ back in these parts?” I told him why I was there. “Where you goin’ to bunk?” he demanded. “They tell me I’m to live in the Jansen shack,” I explained. “They’re plumb locoed,” said Sock-Eye. “You sure can’t den up in that pigsty.” “I’m north bom,” I reminded him. “Mebbe _ you are,” he retorted. “But this is a plumb lonesome val ley for a chalk-wrangler t’ take root in. I reckon you’d better come along t’ my wickyup until things is ready for you.” That, I told him, would be out of the question.' “I s’pose you knowyoung Lander’s swingin’ in with me?” he said with the air of an angler adjusting a gaudier fly. That, I knew, made it more than ever impossible. “And if that Jan sen shack’s not ready, I’ll have to make it ready.” "Quite a fighter, ain’t you?” he observed. After a moment’s silence, he add ed: “I’ll give you a hand over t’ that lordly abode o’ yours.” He left me standing there, to re turn, a few minutes later, with a hand sleigh borrowed from the sta tion agent. On this, with altogether unexpected dispatch, he piled my belongings. Over them he draped the deer carcass, thonging the load together with a strand of buckskin. "Let’s mush,” he said. I took a hand at the towing line, and, side by side, we made our way along the trodden scow, as crisp as charcoal under our feet The valley seemed strangely silent But I felt less alone in the world with that morose old figure beside me. “Why is Lander swinging in with you?” I asked. “Seein’ this valley ain't bristlin’ with hotels,” answered Sock-Eye, “he deemed my. wickyup good enough for a college dood until they could build him up-to-date livin’ quarters at the Happy Day.” “But I thought outsiders bought up the Happy Day,” I ventured. Sock-Eye stopped to gnaw a cor ner from his chewing plug. “They sure did,” he admitted. “And left young Lander out on the limb. But, as far as I kin make out, that hombre ain’t no squealer. And I reckon Big John TrumbulTU find him as full o’ fight as a bunch o’ matin’ copperheads.” We went on until we came to a solitary small figure standing knee- deep in the roadside snow. It proved to be a Swede boy in an incredibly ragged Mackinaw, with a blue woolen scarf wrapped around his waist as high as his armpits. His eyes, I noticed as Sock-Eye asked him about a short cut- to the Jan sen shack, were even bluer than his encircling sash. “But oT Yansen ban dead,” he announced. “He ban dead of the Au over three'months ago.” "Which same makes room for you, little cheeckako,” snorted my grimeyed trail' breaker. But I stopped to ask the sash- wrapped youth his name. I liked the feeling of warmth he carried under that cocoon of wool and rags. “Ah ban Olie Eckstrom,”..he said with the friendliest of smiles. It wasn’t until.-we came to the edge of a clearing that Sock-Eye stopped for breath, “There be your wickyup,” said Sock-Eye, with a wave of his mtt- tened hand. (TO BE CONTINUED! Pattern 7038.

Onr Stas;ering Nation al Debt. Rev. Walter E. Ieenbour. Hiddenite. N. C. Never in the history of the Uni. ted States has there been such a staggering debt upon us. The New Deal will long be remembered for this. The outlook at present is that she is going to bankrupt the nation. National indebtedness is very much the same as individual indebtedness. When one becomes so entangled in debt until he can’t pay, he loses bis credit. Individ uals and companies are afraid of him. They can’t trust him. They realize his circumstances. He is unable to meet his obligations. He might pay if he could. He is help, less. The mistake of the individual is in going into debt deeper than he should. It is unwise. Oftentimes be borrows and buys much that he doesn’t need, or that he could do without. Many people want to live high, have lots of luxuries, and if they can borrow money with which to do all of this, they don’t hesitate to do so. It is indeed a great mistake. Better even suffer than go into dabt beyond one’s a- bility to pay. No doubt we have spent billions of dollars foolishly, as a nation, during the last several years. It seems the aim of the New Deal has been to put money into circulation, and in order to do tbat she has borrowed, borrowed, borrowed. It is common sense to know that we can’t live on borrowed money on and on. We can’t borrow ourselves to- prosperity. We can’t borrow ourselves rich. Impossible. It must give out, and When payday comes, what then* In order to go on at the high rate of lending-spending, borrow, ing-spending, as a nation, we are being taxed to death. Never in the history of the nation, so far as we know, have taxes been so high. And the prospect is tbat they are going higher and higher, higher and higher. It seems that we arc going to collapse under taxation. No doubt there are millions of peo ple in our country today who ab solutely can’t pay their taxes. Mil lions and multiplied millions of dol lars worth of property is advertised for taxes. And in order to get more taxes our officials are layink the burden heavier and heavier upon the shoulders-of those who pay until we can’t pay. What will the end be? Only God knows. And as a nation at large we need to seek Him earnestly tor help. Gur entanglements are such that we can’t get out without Divine help. Wildcat National Reunion. The U. S. Army have assured the National Reunion Committee of the Wildcat Veterans, tbat they will send a large Unit of Tank Corps, as well as the newly equipped “Army on Wheels” to take part in the great Military Parade to be staged during the National Reunion in Raleigh, N C.. on October 4th through the 6th.- The National Adjutant, James E. Cahall, has just returned from Washington where he conferred with Military leaders on the part the Amry will play in the National Re union of the Old 81st.

I see an editorial in your issue of of August 22 , headed: “The Pres ident and Safety.’’ Then you say, “President Roose velt's proclamation calling upon every American citizen to enlist in a campaign against accidents—Is a timely reminder of the close rela. don which exists between our pre paredness program and safety in'in- dustry and traffic/’ Well said, indeed! But how much better it would have beeh had Mr. Roosevelt considered the traf fic” accident feature when he was advocating the repeal of the eigh teenth amendment to our constitu tion. I feel sure I am right when I say that the years while said amend- ment was In force, were the sober est years the country has had in the last fifty or more years. I was on the road as traveling salesman for thirty-eight years, traveling both before, during the time, and after that repeal, and I am sure that the country, during the years while amendment was in force, bad by far lessdrinking than any time in my recollection. Every citizen, from President Roosevelt down (and he, of course, was the main leader in it), who ad vocated, and helped to bring about that repeal, should hang their heads in shame today, when drunk en drivers are killing innocent men, women and children by the hund reds. They consider it terrible now if it should interfere with the “de fense effort,” but they seemed to care but little what it did to society at other times. Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel I —Jno. W. Kurfees, in Winstoq-Sa- Iem Journal. It seems almost futile to report to the House a revenue bill of three and one-half billion dollars when we are spending between twenty and twentv-five billion dollars this year. —Rep. Frank Carlson, Republican, Kans, Cong. Rec. U - This Day Thau ShaIt Be With Me. Strange things go on in this sorry world—end where will you find one Btranger than a ehapri built by thieves within a prison and given ihe name of a theif? Dees this sound irreverent? It iB not meant to be. for few things could be more reverent than the dedica tion at Clinton Prison Dannemora. N. Y.. of the Cbapol of the Good Thief. When the bells rang out over Dannemora the other day, it signal ed no “break,” no emergency. It summoned all prisoners who wished to come to a sturdy stone Gothic chapel beneath the very machinef gun-guarded walls, a chapel built over aoteriod of three years by- pri aoners Some 640 convicts entered for the first service, and not all were Catholics, the faith whose service was held; the organ of the church was donated by two Jews; one of the bells was given by a friendly Methor diet church. Over the entrance, over the altar, hung portrayals of St. Distnas, the Good Thief. To men confined in Dannemora, his story means something that it is not likely to mean to the rest of us. We have perhaps, forgotten St. Luke’s moving incident cf the cru- fixion: “And one of the malefacters which were banged ruled on Him, saying, Tf thou be Christ, save Tbyself and us.’ But the other answering, re buked him. saying. Dost thou not fear God. seeing thou art in the same condemnation?” And we indeed justly, for we receive the due award of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.” This man had done wrong, but he was repentant. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.” That is the story the convicts in Dannemora remembered when they, with their own hands raised the first chapel of its kind in a maximum se curity prison in the United States, and raised it with stones taken from an old cell block. That is si story all America ought to bear,- a story that shouts that in all America there is no man so a- bused, no man so failed, that he may not still labor for something outside himself, may not still build some thing greater than he. Can free men outside the wall see this thing and be satisfied? Have we built, as nearly as within us., lies, what lies within our power to build? —Salisbury Post. Lnnd^poaters at this office. Doing Honest Work. I well remember aa a lad I often thought my dear old dad Put lots of work on me unfair. Sometimes I thought too hard to bear. And showed me how to do it right. And then came round by day or night To see if I bad done my best. And if the job would stand the test. I had to hoe the corn and cane And help to cut the grass and grain. And work the fields and cut the wood And do the things he knew I should; And then be honest, though quite , small. And never alight my work at all, And idle not my time away. While other lads could romp and play. My father taught me that I must Do work that others, too, could trust. And never shirk a task, though he Was not around my work to see; And ,so I learned in boyhood days To do the work my dad could praise. Though small the tast I had to do The work was good when I was through. And now that years have come and gone What father taught is living on. Although he’s run his earthly race And death from us has hid his face; But what is honest, good, sublime, Wiil live and last through vears of time, While things dishonest and unfair Will alwavs come to naught some where. WALTER E. ISEN HOUR. Hiddenite, N C. Black Snakes Where They Oiight Not Be. (Monroe Journal) One day last week Mrs. Cleone Mullis of Waxhaw Rt. decided she would listen to her radio while eat ing dinner, since she had been out all morning and was getting behind with the world news. Hurriedly she went to plug in and noticed that there seemed to be too many wires about. Sure enough there were. One of them proved to be a real live wire, for it was the tail of a long black snake of the racer type. Mn. Mulls now thinks electric wires are tame compared to snake wires, and she thought about it so much more listening that day. Mr. J. B. Boatright of the same locality also had a round with a black snake. Early one morning a. bout getting up time Mr. Boatright was aroused by a strange noise un der his bed. Like most men do when they wake up scared, he called his wife to jump up and strike a light. She did so and Mr.,Boatright then bravely looked under the bed. He saw a large black snake with a big rat in its coils being choked to death, Mr. Boatright had no objections to the snake killing the rat, but he didn’t like such doings right under his own bed. Just for curiosity’s sake, we would like to know what they do to a man who raises .wheat in Russia.

Penalty Of Drunken Driving. A decision of the United States Court of Appeals of the Dissrict of Columbia recently dedared that a drunken driver is a murderer when His reckless driving makes an in nocent citizen the victim. An appeal of a 27 -year-old youth to overrule a prison term of fifteen years to life for killing two persons in a drunken joyride was denied by Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner. The boy’s defense was that he was too drunk to know what he was doing, that he suffered a lossof memory and that be recalled noth ing of the tragedy until he awoke in a cell and wondered why he bad been arrested. The defefense call ed it insanity. The jury called it murder in the second degree. Tbe jury’s judgment was confirmed in strong words by the Chief Justice. Drunkeu driving and its result ing deaths has long been consider ed one of society’s greatest prob lems. Because the boy chose to get hopelessly drunk was no ex cuse that he should escape the pun ishment of the law; The Court of Appeals had the strength to rule as' it did on this type of case,. and its decision is sure to have far-reaching effects on similar cases that come up in other courts. True, there was no malice afore thought when the bov, iu a stupor, committed bis crime. But there was a great .deal of malice, as the Judge pointed out, in bis complete and reckless disregard foi others. There were no mitigating circum stances in the case. A. T. . Who is Asleep Now.

I-an* i n W. N. LL Service It was not, I could see, a very appealing abode. It looked, with its sagging and snow-mattressed roof and- its time-weathered timbers, about as inviting as a mausoleum. Nor did it add to my joy when I saw Sock-Eye, kicking away the snow, disclose the flattened-out body of a dead coyote lying there, its teeth grinning malevolently up from the uncovered jawbones. My companion, with a prompt sweep of his foot, brushed the frozen carcass to one side and swung open the door. Doors in Alaska, I re membered, were * very seldom locked. I had to shut my teeth tight so the trembling of my chin wouldn’t betray me. For about all that.musty- smelling and deep-shadowed room held was an untidy wall bunk, a table and two wooden chairs with roughly spliced legs. I could see wherethe smoke pipe had fallen from a rust-stained stove and where ro dents had been attacking a grub box Imperfectly armored with a Joseph’s boat of flattened-out tobacco tins. Above it was a dish shelf with a few rusty pans and a showing of badly chipped crockery. At the foot of the bunk lay the dead body of a. barka-squirrel, half buried in a scat tering of lint from a much-chewed quilt. Along the wall directly above the bunk were tacked, to remind me Alaska was still a man’s country, ir regular rows of equally irregular toovie-queens, interspersed with Hancing houris. Each and every one Cf them, I observed, was in an ar resting state of dishabille. But even more revolting was the filth that covered the floor. Soek-Eye’s questioning glance must have detected some shadow of hopelessness on my face. “You a-goin" t’ stick it?” he chal lenged. "I’ve got to,” I said. "There’s no other way.” My companion, as he turned and swept that room with a saturnine eye, proclaimed that an old skinflint like Sam Bryson should have two inches of lead in his gizzard. “But since he’s put you here, I’m a-goin’ t’ give you a hand t’ git planted.” I had thought of Sock-Eye as a maundering old man. But as he threw off his coat and got busy I realized I had altogether misjudged both his skill and his strength. His first act was to force open the windows. Then, grunting with indignation, he went at the place like a cyclone. He tumbled the greasy table and bhairs out into the snow and scraped the litter from the floor. Then he left me alone with my worn-down stub of a broom. He reappeared with a rusted axhead, into which he fitted a rough handle of birch wood. When he started to shovel the ashes from the stove-box I told him to save them, as they’d come in handy for scrubbing. By the time he had a fire going and snowwater melting in our galva nized tub I’d unearthed a shriveled cake of yellow soap and a lopsided Ecrub brush. While I scoured the grease-blackened table and chairs with hot water and wood ashes he dragged the bunk mattress out into the snow, emptied it, pounded the last of the dust from it, and refilled It with wild hay which he.comman deered from a pole-stack at the back of the clearing. At last everything smelled clean, and seemed different, and the sing ing of the old iron kettle on the drum stove was almost homelike. But my spirits declined to. rise as they should. Sock-Eye, after spitting into the rusty stove front, reached for his eoat and crossed to the door. “I’m a-goin’ over t’ the village ,1 he offhandedly announced. “We’ve a one-hoss store there. I’ll see if kin rustle a pair o* blankets and pack in a mite o’ grub for you. When he returned, I stood blinking at the size of his sleigh load. “Git in out o’ the cold,” he com manded. “I reckon I purty well know" what a cheechako -needs.” I felt my throat tighten. “You can’t do this for me," contended as Sock-Eye piled things on the table end. “I ain’t a-doin’ it for you,” he retorted. “I’m a-doin’ it for your bl’ pappy. He rustled many a mess o’ grub for me." That didn’t take the lump from my throat. I watched him in silence as he disinterred two candles from his store supplies and lighted them.“Evenin’ ’pears to be cornin’- on ,1 he said. “I reckon I may as well stay an’ have chow with you.” I started to -thank him, but he cut me short “When you git settled,” he said. “You’ll have t’ have .a gas lamp. And I’ll tote over a hunk of sourdough for your bread-makin’. And, meanwhile. I’ll leave you.,a slab o’ deer meat that’ll; help tijieiover the week end.” - . - \ yi'Vi I laid the table, usmgje'newspaper for a cloth, while th’e old-tinier be side the stove cooked bacon and eggs and pot coffee on to boil and punched two holes in the- toPAqgg milk tin with his hunting' kntfe'.Tfi was surprisingly adroit and quick XBE SIORX SO FAR dcr, working tor the Trumbull company, which Is lighting Coburn's claim, is'an* gaged to Trumbull's daughter.

When he sharp ened a stick and on it speared a slice of bread, which he began toasting at the stove front, I found the aroma of that browning bread niixing with the aroma that came from the coffeepot. And I realized there were times when food was more important than philosophy. Things is goin’ t’ come easier,” explained Sock-Eye as we ate to- i jether with the honest and una bashed appetite of the hungry, “once you’ve took root here.” “And made friends with my neigh bors,” I added. You ain’t got no neighbors with in a mile,” countered Sock-Eye. 'And the valley folks nacher’ly ain’t goin’ t’ fall over themselves f wel come you, seein’ you was sent in here by them Juneau bureaucrats. Yep; you’ll have f stoke that ol’ firebox yourself. And rustle your own grub and wood and water. I s’pose you’ve got a shootin’ iron?” I didn’t see, I told him, how a shooting iron could solve any of my problems. “It kin ease your mind consider- ble,” argued Sock-Eye. “There’s no satisfaction like knowin’ you’ve got a six-gun in reach. Kind o’ perks .“It kin ease your mind consider’ble.” you up when you’re alone. And I reckon I got an ol’ blunderbuss or two I kin be bringin’ over t’ you.” I was afraid to thank him for what he had done. It didn’t seem to be the'-valley way. I merely stood in the doorway watching him as be trudged off .in the snow and was lost in the blue-tinted darkness. CHAPTER V in Those first days in my Matanuska wickyup always remained a clouded memory of discomfort shot through with incongruous moods of exalta tion. But Sock-Eye had been right. One took root, in some way, and fiber by fiber time wove one back to the soil of one’s birth. I learned more about the valley of toe Muddied Waters—for that, ih the language of tiie local Indians, was what the word “Matanuska” meant. It revealed itself as a deep- soiled and lightly timbered valley of. almost two hundred square miles, with a friendly huddle of mountain shoulders that cut off the Arctic winds and framed the lowlands In eternal white. Diagonally across the valley ran the Matanuska River, and up that river, ih the open season, the salmon came in swarms. Here’ and there, along the lower benches, Uttie patches of land had been cleared, mostly as subsistence farms for hill trappers and disheartened gold-seekers, like old Sock-Eye and Sam Bryson. On those farms they grew two-pound potatoes and thirty- pound cabbages and oats and rye and hay as high as a horse’s back. For the growth from that black soil, Once-lMayed on by its bath of twenty- hour sunshine, was prodigious; But the UtUe homestead-shacks, I found, were scattered and far apart, and life, apparently, was stUl pre carious, with no fixed market for the settlers’ produce and no final reward for a short season of indus try after a long season of hiberna tion. Yet the valley was rich. It could, according to Sidney Lander, prove itself the grub bag of the North. Its soil was drouthless and inex haustible. And under that soil it had coal in abundance. And through all its outer hUls it had game enough for an ever-enduring backlog on the fires of hunger. I ’came to Matanuska as a teacher/but it was the vaUey, I found, that was teaching me tilings. Its first lesson seemed to be that fron tier life was the mother of inven tion and the father of resourceful ness. For I learned how.to attach a .wire handle to a discarded gasoline ’Call' and turn it into a water pail, and how to cover an empty packing through Doctor Ruddock’s aid. But there’s no schoolbouse Ior her. For a residence she gets an abandoned shack. But Carol is optimlsUc about Matanuska. The shack truly needed some thorough overhauling and SockjEye helped. r case with chintz and convert It into a dressing table. I learned how to stuff duck feathers, into a sugar bag —with the lettering boiled off in lye water—and call it a pillow, and how to make sheets out of factory cot ton and dish towels out of flour sacks, and even a Dutch oven out of two boxes interlined with chopped oat straw. I relearned how to whit tle shavings from a spruce stick and start a fire, and chop wood without standing in a tub to protect my feet, to say nothing of the discovery that bircff logs split easiest whpn frozen. I knew how a baking-powder tin could be turned into a biscuit-cutter, how bag burlap with a design cro cheted on its ends made a passable door mat, how a broom handle fast ened across a room comer curtained off with calico converted the same into a clothes closet, and how life, after all, was mostly what you made of it. I’d never liked that red-rusted old stove of mine, standing as it did a monument of neglect at the center of my new family circle. So on a sufficiently mild afternoon when I could afford to let the fire go down I decided to sandpaper off some of the rust and replace it with a bright and shining coat of black lead.The old potato sack I’d pinned around my waist didn’t leave me looking any too regal. My hair came down and my hands took on a dis tinctly negroid tint. On my face, too, I must have smudged a good deal of the black lead that should have gone elsewhere. And just as I was wielding my polishing , brush on the last rough-surfaced old stove leg a visitor walked into my hum ble abode and stood regarding me with a quietly bewildered eye. “Where will I find Carol Cobum?” an unexpectedly well - modulated voice inquired of me. I knew who it was, even before she told me. “I’m Carol Coburn,” I told her, as quietly as I could. “Won’t you sit down?” She blinked at me, for an incredu lous moment or two. “I’m Barbara Trumbull,” she an nounced.“I know,” I murmured as I poured water into my tin basin and engaged - in a hasty struggle' to remove some of the black lead. “Can’t I make you a cup of tea?” “No thank you,” she said, with a second study of my partially cleansed face. She pulled up her sleeve and looked at a jeweled wrist watch. “I’m flying back to Anchor age in a few minutes.” “I’m sorry,” I said in the silence that ensued. You know Sidney Lander,” she observed. She- said it softly. But it was like the softness of velvet with razor blade wrapped up in its folds. 'And?” I prompted, feeling that all the frostiness wasn’t to be on-one side.And you know, ol course, that we’re to be married next summer?” she continued, making it half a ques tion and half a challenge. 'Yes, he told me about that,-” I acknowledged.And again I heard the musical laugh edged with ice. You and Sidney, I understand, had a very adventurous trip togeth er a few weeks ago.” 1We got storm bound on the trail,” I explained. "But he survived it, quite unscathed.” “That’s what I wanted to. make sure of,” said the lady in the mink coat, ignoring the touch of acid in my voice. But her eyes narrowed a little. Then, with great deliber» tion, she drew off the luxurious gauntlet that covered her left hand, It was -a very white hand. And on the third slender finger I could see the glitter of a diamond. “That’s his ring,” she quietly but conclusively announced. “Do you want to stop my marriage?” It impressed me as rather primi tive. But I was at least compelled to respect the lady’s directness. “What makes you think' I could?” I- asked. She, apparently, both suspected and resented my- air of guUeless- ness.“My convictions in that quarter seem to be weakening,” she said with a languid sort of asperity. “Then why bother about'the source of them?” I countered, a little tired of being accepted as merely an Aud rey of. the backwoods. “Why are you fighting my fa ther?” John Trumbull’s daughter rather abruptly demanded. “And making Sidney break with the one man who could have him amount tc something? It won’t, of course, dc any good.” I met her gaze without flinching. “Are you saying that for your owe sake,” I asked, “or for your fa ther’s?” Barbara Trumbull laughed a lit tie.“My father’s big enough to figh: for himself,” she announced. “Then what are you worrying about?” I found the courage to ir quire.

Otily a few short months ago when the Davie draftees came to Mocksville to leave for one year’s military training in an army camp, the local band assembled at the bus station and played martial music, the photogragher was pre. sent and made pictures which were printed; the draftees were given cartons of cigarettes and cold drinks in the presence of a large audience. Things are different today Only a few days ago we were at the bus station to bid 14 draftees good bye. Only a few relatives and friends were present—uo baud, no photo grapher, no cigarettes and cold drinks so far as we know. And thest bovs were not leaving for one year, font for 30 months or longer.

Miss Monroe’s mother, Anna Laughlin1 was the first Dorothy Dale, in “The Wizard of Oz,” with Fred Stone, and when the daughter made her musical comedy debut in “Louie the Fourteenth,” in 1925, old- timers in the audience, this one among them, were moved to poign ant and all but tearful memories by the winsome daughter’s resem blance to her mother. Little Doro thy Dale was forever young, still in a land of enchantment—that was all there was to it.

Fur thermore there is disclosed here a trend away from showmanship as an old-line, 'dependable mo rale • builder. Billy Rose of Broadway was back in New Tork a few weeks ago, after a session with the army morale- builders. He was all fussed up. “Nothing happened,” he said. “They told me my blueprints were wonderful, the ideas were wonder ful and I was wonderful. Then they said good-by. That’s all I expect to happen.” General Osborn, never a hoofer or spoofer, is 51,the son of W.C.Osborn, distinguished New York lawyer, and an alumnus of Princeton university- who started a career of business management in 1912. His book, “Preface to Eugenics,” published last March, reveals uneasiness about the falling birth rate and the urgency of nice people having more children. He has six. Always in deadly earnest, he’s farthest north from Broadway, and Irving Berlin’s little bit of sunshine in the Y.M.C.A. Possibly a highly technical war de mands that kind of morale-builder.

Val ued at more than $50,000, the minia ture city shows Paris as it was be fore the German occupation. Part of the proceeds of the tour will go to war relief organizations. When trav eling, the city is housed in eight crates; setting it up keeps four men occupied for two days. Apparently everybody who saw Kathryn Grayson in that last Hardy film wanted to know what her next picture would be. Letters poured into the Metro studios, and out went the word that she will appear in “The Vanishing Virginian.” She’s but recently returned from her hon eymoon—in private life she’s now Mrs. John Shelton—and will be back before the cameras soon. It’s rather a shock to realize that Hedy Lamarr has been resting for nearly eight months—hasn’t worked since “Ziegfeld Girl.” She’s begin ning a new picture now, “H. M.

Maybe you’ll be crazy about the latest Walt Disney, “The Reluc tant Dragon.” But a lot of us wish that Mr. Disney would abandon these long features and stick to good short ones. Both this one and “Fantasia” could be cut into several good shorts. M ifm t Q k a m b e fU MAKE THE MOST OF VODR LEFTOVERS!

Her daughter’s birth interrupted her picture mak ing for a while, but Paramount went right on making plans for her; she’ll be starred next in “This Gun for Hire,” in which she’ll portray a magician who becomes involved with a munitions magnate in a mys terious murder. Which means that she’ll have to take lessons in the art of magic. — * — Lewis Stone is taking time out from the "Judge Hardy” role, be tween the family chronicles, to play an army colonel in “Steel Caval ry,” the new Wallace Beery pic ture. But he’ll have to be careful not to do anything the Judge wouldn’t do, or the fans will pro test. — * — Charles Laughton (have you heard the new radio program, “Three Ring Time,” starring him and Milton Berle?) would have been an inn keeper if Laughton, Sr., had had his way.

And his son learned one valuable thing—how to impress a haughty waiter. “Just order water and a poached egg on toast,” says he. Seems that it gets them down every time, especially if they’ve been urging champagne on you: - Leftovers on purpose! There are So many delicious ways of using left overs, why not call them “planned aheads”? Casseroles, meat loaves, salads, soups and so on will do much to turn the tag ends of -day- before - yester day’s dinner into mealtime “corne ous.” The trick is not to serve the same old hash or stew in the same old way, but to give left over foods fresh faces with fresh recipes. Like many thrifty homemakers, you, too, can discover the economy, both in time and money, of buying and preparing a large roast, or more than enough, vegeta bles, with leftovers in mind. You can’t always make mealtime foods come out even. So, let’s be practical about the situation. If you serve roast chicken or baked salmon for Sunday dinner, plan to do all sorts of things with the leftover por tions for weekday meals. Here’s a roll call of leftovers and how to fix them—proof that “day- after” foods can be not only good, but' delicious! Sommer Meat Pie.

Heat again and blend thoroughly. Serve this mixture in the center of a rice ring which has been turned out. on a serving plat- 'ter or chop plate. Garnish with the buttered peas and sprinkle with .paprika. The children who attend New York city’s public schools ought to find at least some of their lessons pretty en joyable.

OVERCOMING THE ADVERSARY LESSON TEXT—Revelation 12:7-12: 13:2-4.GOLDEN TEXT—And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of Uieir testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.—Revelation 12:11. War! What a familiar word! Men are saying we should put an end to war. We wish it were pos sible; but as long as sin rules in the hearts of: men, there will be wars;, in fact, our lesson tells us of a greater war which is to take place in the heavens. The devil is busy not only on earth, but in the heaven ly places, and wherever he is there is war. Only when Christ, the Prince of Peace, comes to reign will peace come to all the earth. Our lesson presents three scenes: Conflict in heaven, rejoicing over victory there, and a victory on earth which brought joy in heaven. I. War In Heaven (12:7-9). A clear, succinct, and helpful word on these verses is quoted from Dr. John R. Bradbury: “The dispensations interpretation of this passage is that during the period of tribulation, which follows the rapture of Ihe saints, as described in I Thessalonians 4:15- 18; I Corinthians 15:51, 52, and other passages, there will be a war in heaven between Michael and his an gels and the devil and his. Satan is not in hell now. It is wrong to teach that he is there. He is the prince of the power of the air. He rules the darkness of this world. He inspires wickedness in his domain and on earth. Against these conditions the Christian is solemnly warned to pre pare (Eph. 6:10-18). When we say that Satan is in heaven, we do not mean the heaven of the immediate presence of God. The Bible speaks of different heavens and there-is even a ‘heaven of heavens’ (I Kings 8:27). “From whence come all the cross currents of wickedness now sweep ing over the world—many of them contrary to the wishes of the vast majority of the people? That there is a malevolent genius directing sin ister operations to hinder and baffle God and to destroy mankind is easy to understand. Many people ask, ‘Why. does not God destroy him?’ The answer to that is in this lesson. His hour is coming. He will be ex pelled from his domain by Michael and his angels. Then, because the people of this world have co-operat ed with Satan so willingly, he will be allowed to take refiige in the earth! : He will come down (v. 12) in great wrath, ‘because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.’ ” n . Rejoicing in Heaven (12:10- 12).If we accept what seems to be the correct view; namely, that the wom an of Revelation 12:1-5 is Israel, the nation'in which the child (v. 5), who is Christ, was bom, then it would appear that those who here rejoice, in the victory over the dragon (Satan) would be the. Jewish believ ers who will have come through great tribulation. At the same time it is quite appropriate to apply the truth of the passage to us who now find ourselves in conflict with Satan ic powers. The accuser does not hesitate to appear even in the presence of God to bring charges against us (see Job 1:6-12): But we need not fear-him, for he is already judged (I John 16:11) and will (as we see in our lesson) one day be cast down to earth, and (as other Scripture re veals) will ultimately be cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:10). But he is here now, a supernatural (but not divine) being, plaguing us, tempting us, accusing us. What shall we do about it? As to his accusation, we know we have a just and loving God and also have an Advocate to plead our causes before Him (I John 2:2). For his present attacks, our lesson gives the secret of spiritual victory in verse 11. IH. Victory on Earth (Rev. 15: 2-4). The scene of victorious rejoicing which we see here is evidently in heaven, but it is because of victory on earth. Here are those that have come through the horrible conditions described in Revelation 13, and have been victorious over the beast, - in spite of his great powers. They sing; that is the token of real victory, of a heart victory. Whatever loss they may have suf fered, and whatever trials they may have gone through, they have “got ten the victory” (v. 2). They siim the song of Moses and the Lamb (cf. Exod. 15:1-21 add Rev. 5:9-14). It is right that the redeemed of the Lord should sing, glorifying the name of God (v. 4) and magnifying His great and marvelous works (v. 3). Let us remind ourselves again that if we are Christians, we are on the victorious side. The glimpse into the heavens which we find in our lesson should give us the right perspective with which to view the troublesome experiences of life. God has a plan, and He will bring it to complete and victorious fruition in -Bis own time and His own way. A S E W I N G A NEW-FOUND smartness for •^junior girls is presented in this basque dress.

Fringe on Our Flag There is no significance attached to the yellow fringe on the Amer ican flag.. According to the war department it may be regarded as “fringe. :only, and is of no value or significance as a part of the flag.” The use of the fringe has long been a debated question, although the war jiepartment sanctions it, and S e United States Flag asso ciation does not consider the use of the binge as improper. Never theless, the first flag adopted by the Continental congress in 1777 bore no fringe, and many patriotic citizens feel the American flag needs no decoration. On this question the war depart ment says: “For a number of years there has been prescribed in army regulations a yellow fringe for the different colors and stand ards of organizations of the army. The war department, however, knows of no law or regulation, which either requires or prohibits the placing of a yellow fringe on the flag of the United States.” rfiiissa- I Ground nutmeg on fresh peaches with your breakfast cereal' is a palate tickler.• * •Chicken fricassee does a lot bet ter with a pinch of ground ginger cooked with the chicken. * * * Dry salt sprinkled immediately on new fruit stains will prevent them from being permanent. * * • ,Te* should never be stored near anything with a distinct odor, for ” will absorb the stronger odor id lose its own flavor. !

MOCKSVILLE, H. C., SEPTEMBER 17.1941, I n P l a c e o f B e e r "Heref” Xvety family h u its cholc* to make: on the one hand there’s the ultimate unhappiness which flows out o( beer stein, wine glass, oar whisky bottle; on the other hand, the W.C.T.U. points out, there’s a chance for a lot of personal and family happiness. The nation spends $3,390,000,000 each year for beer, wine, and other Uquors. Translat ing this .sum into necessities and recreation, tem perance workers show what Mr. Average Citizen could buy if he stayed out of tav erns or liquor stores. The total mon ey "now wasted on alcohol” would buy all of the fol lowing items for three million Amer ican families: Pay $30 a month house rent for a year; buy 2 loaves of bread daily for a year; buy 2 quarts of milk daily for a year; buy IS pounds of m eat weekly for a year; buy | t worth of fruit a month for a year; pay for 4 movie tickets a week for a year; buy a daily paper or 4 week ly paper subscriptions for a year; buy 2 magazines for a year; pay the doctor $50; give $52 to sup port the church; buy another suit for father and pay $80 for more clothes for moth er and children; buy 3 pairs of $5 shoes; pay. $50 for extra house h o ld su p p lies. And, all of fills : would still leave ;14 million dollars for miscellaneous items. This is why the social workers de- i clare that family budgets stand the economic loss in connection with liq uor and that the man who actually pays the liquor bill is the grocer, the tailor, the butcher, the baker, the doctor, the landlord, Uie printer, or the shoemaker. “Or, H cntw A Judge’s Opinion ; A Des Moines, Iowa, judge stud ied evidence presented to a grand Juiy and declared that the amount of alcohol it takes to put a man ’Mmder the influence of Uquor*' is I cocktail, or I highball, or 2 bottles •f beer.

AUU ABOUT "B anging H im se lf’ The brewers are very unhappy these days, and they have reasons to be. At least that was the ex pressed opinion of church and social welfare groups on the eighth anni versary of the return of beer. Reviewing that beer was the wedge used to bring back the entire liquor traffic, the W.C.T.U. said in its study of the eight years of beer’s relegalized history: “History is a warm comfort to the temperance forces. Throughout its existence the na tion has made re peated efforts to control the liquor traffic by regula tion and by par tial prohibition. It again will find prohibition to be the only answer. “Repeal gave the liquor traffic, enough rope, and I it is hanging it- 1 self. Misled in j ~ by very clever propaganda, American citizens since h ave. learned through first-hand observa-i tion that liquor is an ally of crime, ■ of all the forces inimical to the I American standards of moral, phys- ? ical, and religious life. ( “It should always be understood that ‘liquor’ refers to alcoholic b ev-, erages, hence includes beer. S d -' ence and medicine unite in terming alcohol a ’poison’, a ‘narcotic’, ‘dan gerous to the human system’. Beer , contains alcohol. In fact, beer is the door through which alcohol steps to gain addicts. First, the custom- . ers drink beer, then hard liquor,! and then may become addicts. j “Eight years ago there was a Iim- * ited reception for the views of tem perance people. Today, the situa- tion is entirely d ifferent. The b rew ers know w hat it m eans when there is a rising tide of pub lic indignation at liquor - inspired acts which are in imical to social w elfare, when , church groups become active against all divisions of the liquor traffic.

A t M id n ig h t. Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenlte. N. C. "And at midnight Paul and Sil as prayed, and sang praises unto God.’’ —Acts 1 6:2 5. Paul and Silas were in jail, not because they bad committed crime, but because they, were preaching Christ, and men and women were turning fsom sin to righteousness, from the devil to Jesus. The ene. my was stirred. He put enmity and hatred enough into the hearts of the people to bare these mighty men of God cast into prison. Their feet were even fastened in stocks. They couldn't walk about, but were bound hard and fast. In tbis condition they were pray ing at midnight and singing prais es unto God. It seems that tbis was rather a strange place, and certainly an adverse place, to sing. Jt might not seem strange that they p ayed, but to sing praises onto God in such a condition as they were in, and under such circum stances, was strange, or we would think it so today. However, they sang. But we want to notice that they first prayed. It is always in order to pray, regardless if circumstan ces. We can pray in prison or out of prison. We can pray when we are bound, or when we are free. We can pray when the battle goes ha'd, or when things are going easy. We can pray when we are down on our back, or when we are on our knees, or when we are walk ing about. We can pray when we are going through the most trying ordeals ot life, and when .clouds hang low and thick, or when' we are going easy and the snn is shin ing brightly. We can pray when we are suffering, or when we are free from suffering. We can pray ;n the tninst of our enemies, or when we are in the midst of friends. Thank God forever for the privi lege of prayer. It may be a privi lege that angels do not have. Then it is wonderful to sing pra ises nnto God regardless of life's circumstances. Usually we sing most when we are happiest, or when things ate going easy. But, Paul and Silas sang when they were imprisoned—even in the inner prison and fastened bard in stocks. There were no friends about fhem. They were away from church. No donbt other prisoners were near them, even guilty criminals. They were in the midst of enemies. They were suffering in bodv, no donbt, and certainly realized that their earthly freedom was gone. Maybe they felt that they were facing im^ mediate martyrdom. It seemed to make little difference with them; They were in a spirit of prayer, a' spirit of worship, a spirit of praise/ They were happy. God was with' them. When God is with us we can endure anything the devil may impose upon us. God will bring us out triumphant. He will work everything out for our good and His glory. “And we know that all things work together for good Io them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 . God certainly heard the prayers and praises of Paul and Silas. Let if be understood that they prayed and sang prelses unto God. It was midnight. No doubt the outside world was locked tn sleep and slum ber. Perhaps the other prisoners were asleep. Maybe the prison keeper was a sound sleeper aind knew nothing of the praying and s-nging of these men. Certainlv he was asleep. Suddsuly a mighty earthquake spook the prison and opened she doots and turned Paul and silas loose. The keeper of the prison was suddenly startled, woke np. and seeing the prison doors 0 - pened, drew out bis sword and would have killed himself but for H e a d a c h e s . A middle aged McDowell conn ty farmer has filed suits for a total of $5 0 ,0 0 0 for damages against a North Carolina concern manufac turing headache powders, whose product he alleges brought much physical suffering to him over an extended period, when he thought he was buying relief from tempor ary pain. Every now and then similar com plaints have arisen against this par ticular “remedy”, which perhaps is no guiltier than other concoctions parading under the name of relief. Some rather impressive tales have been told about the hurtful quali ties of these powers. But just the same they continue to be bought. Nothing has been done about es tablishing the merits of the so-call ed remedy, and the makers of it are growing fat on the dimes and two- bits that come from the public shakedown. The fellow with a headache can* not be blamed for-coveting relief without being too inquisitive about it. But headaches steam from some cause that may be either temporary or chronic, and the individual who is afflicted with them would do well to consult a doctor, if be of she can not determine of their own accord the bnweome of these afflictions— which is quite possible in a majori ty of cases. Taking habit-forming pellets is bad business, particularly when they undermine the health of one indivldul, even if another es capes. The physizian can better advise about this. But that does not lift the respon sibility from government which is continually making laws for the protection of those who are not for. tunate enough to be able to think for themselves. If there is anything wrong with those powders, it ought to be somebody’s business to point it out, and if the wrong is import* ant enough, they ought not be put within such easy reach of the gulli ble. The McDowell man, through his attorneys has asked for an injunc tion against the sale of these head, aches powders in North Carolina, but a Superior Court judge claims that he doesnt have jurlsdictiyn. So the individual is left free to wreck his health if be wants to.—States ville Daily. G U L A R B L O O B H O U N D S O u r W a n t A d s Paul and Silas who cried out, say ing, '‘Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.” , The result was that the prison keeper was'converted, and all his household doubtless, and they were flaptized that night. He took them into his house and set meat before them, and they all rejoiced togeth er. The next morning Paul and Silas were given their liberty, and no doubt went their way rejoicing and praising God, and telling the sweet old story of Jesus and His love. Glory to God. Many yeople won’t pray until they are in trouble, and some peo ple won’t sing until sorrows and trouble overtake them. However, Paul and Silas were not of that class'. They were mighty men of prayer before their imprisonment. No doubt as they went about they prayed, and they had seasons of prayer, and were accustomed to sing praises unto God. along life’s pathway., Now they could pray aud sing under the most trying circumstances.

Senator Bailey’s name for the new tax bill which he and other members of the Senate Finance Committee have thrown together is that—“Tbis is the worst tax bill in the history of on • government.” He was referring, of course, not to the technical framing of the tnea sure, nor what may be considered its inqnities, but only to the fact that it is going to bear down with with heavier and more punishing impact upon more people in this this country tban have ever before felt the hard and heavy hand of Federal taxation.

T r ib u t e T o M r . C . C . T ille r : By Chas. H Utley. Inthe year 1862, in Cherterfield county. South Carolina, ten iciles from Hartsville, a babv boy was hnrn whom his parents christened Chrfe- torpher Columbus Tiller. S;nce that date almost four fifths of a century have'paased. At that date and time. South Carolina, like every other Southern state, was torn and bleed- ing under the impact of civil war Great and bloody battles were being fought; and the prospects for final victory for Southern armies were more auspicious tban afterwards. In those days public schools, such as we have now, were practically un known, and private subscription schools were rare. And Christopher Columbus Tiller was far more fortu nate than many bovsto pass through seven grades:; for this, at that time was a real achievement. His family, like all others, bad felt the devastat ing effects of war, poverty abounded, living conditions were hard, food scarce, and luxury unknown; the formerly rich had been reduced to abject poverty*, and the poor had nothing C- C. Tiller was still a small boy when Sherman’s army, on its march to the sea. literally burned a wide path across the state in one of the most devastating campaigns of vandalism and destruction known in the annals of war. Around the fireside he heard the stories of old soldiers, some with an empty sleeve where once an arm had been, while others hobbled on a wooden leg; but the boy knew these had been brave men; and perhaps these stories of heroism inspired the growing boy with a determination never to show himself a coward when courage was in demand. Long a wise man said “The boy is father of the man.” Let tbat be as it may, somewhere, in some way, either by inheritance or acquisition one, or both, C. C. Tiller developed those traits and character* istios that so differentiate one man from the masses tbat through life he is a marked man by reason of the things he represents.and stands for. When 24 years old, Mr. Tiller mar. ried Miss Roxana Wilson and to this union have been barn 14 children, 8 cf whom are living; his marriage was in 1886; therefore he has been married five yeara more than a half a century. Two years married he united with the Methodist church; and for 50 years has been one of its most loyal, faithful and valuable members, serving his church as Steward, teacher in Sunday School 'and financial leader advisor in, all linps. A man and member his paf>tor ,could always rely upon; by tempera ment and taste progressive in atti- tude, his influence has been felt for betterment in every line of local pro* gress. We, who serve the public, identified with manv men and move ments, often wonder just why so few men feei so little responsibility for the public welfare, and fewer still have convictions and moral cour. age. however, these three essential traits have been characteristic of Mr. Tiller. No movement for im provement .and progress has lacked the hearty support of C. C. Tiller; his neighbors knew where and bow we stood without asking. In hinr bootleggers bad an inveterate, an im- placement foe, ready to face them in private and public final anafraid. He reached Cbuleemee two months before the mill opened; and there fore more than 40 years he has stood a tower of strength for righteous* ness, integrity and human better* ment. The greatest English writer made one of bis character say: Upon his brew shame would be ashamed to sit.” and this too. can be truthfully said of C. C. Tiller. In the summer of 1901, Mr. Tiller was one of 43 charter members who constituted a Methodist church in Cooleemee under the missionary ministry- of Rev., J. M Downum, Since that small beginning two church buildings have been’etected, first a wooden building, but now there stands a magnificent brick church, commodious and convenient, with a membership numbering sev. eral hundred; and here is a physical S e e n A lo n g M a in S tr e e t By The Street Rambler. 0 0 0 0 0 0 Atlas Smoot busy eating chick en—Jacob Stewart, Wilburn Stoue- strect and Bob McNeill discussing In front of cafe—Bobbie JeanSmith looking at letter from Ann Grant— Bettie Honeycutt having basket at tached to her bicycle—Hilary Me roney sitting under water oak in park smoking cigar—Miss Elouise Chaffin tiying to get change for a $30 bill—Dave Beck selling water melons—Miss Nellie Wilson wait ing in front of dime stoie—Two young ladies and one young man occupying chairs in front of furni ture store—Two Negroes staging Saturday night fight in the heart of town—Joe Graham and Phillip Young leaning against auto watch - ing the crowd go by —Mrs. Frank Fowler selling tickets at Princess Theatre—Arthur Daniel busy sa luting friends on Main street—Mr. and Mrs. Guy Stroud and young son shopping in dime store—Paul Grubbs busy collecting insurance— Smith Grove Jbhool faculty doing their fall shopping on Saturday evening—Miss Nancy McIver read ing newspaper in hotel lobby—Miss Maru Johnson motoring across the square.

Tbere have been some hints that there will be one. Let's hope tbat Brother Ickes doesn’t conduct that one. These shortages develop among the commodities which have been marked by unmanageable surpass es. There has been so much oil and gasoline that pumpless days bad to be observed in the oil fields. There has been so much coal that mines were abandoned. Now nails are scarce but OLce thty could be bought by the keg in any cross roads hardware ttore. If we aren’t careful there’ll be a cotton short, age next January. March may come in with a spinach shortage. November may be a frightful month because of shortage of persimmons. There’s an idea: Let Secretary Ickes be put in charge immediately of the spinach and persimmon shor tages and next July he can be shif ted to the squash shortage. Be. tween times he might handle the pumpkin and bumble bee deficieu cies. Nobody has yet been found who can make faces like Ickes and act like a man scaring the public to death There’s really one shortage the nation needs--a shortage of Ickeses. —Charlotte Observer.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) ."\TEW YORK.—From somewhere deep in Sybil’s Cave in Wash ington comes the whisper that the government has secretly called in Maj. Her- Maj. Yardley Again bertO. Yard- Assaying Foreign ley, its cryp- Broadcasts Here? tic cryPt0‘ grammer, forgiven his indiscretion in publish ing “The Black Chamber” a dec ade ago and set him to work again plucking diplomatic and espionage secrets from the air. This is highly interesting in view of Major Yardley’s frequent predic tions that the state department would have to set up new listening posts, and carry on where he left off, in the event of war or even the threat of war. Major Tardley was so expert as a de-coder that, knowing no Japanese, he could catch Japa nese double-talk on the air, and de-code it. When Henry L. Stim- son was secretary of state he didn’t like either espionage or counter-espionage and thought no decent nation should have anything to do with it. , Hence, Major Yardley’s secret “Black Chamber” in New York, which must have been something like the lair of ..Caglistro 1 was sum marily closed and the major was fired. Then he wrote his book and its repercussions were such that congress passed a law against his writing any more of the same kind. In this boob, he included de coded messages showing how Japan had been giving this conn- ' try the grand run-around during the Washington arms confer ence. It almost caused a cabi net crisis in Japan and made our state department reach for its smelling salts. Herbert O. Yardley, a native of !Washington, in his youth a tele graph operator for the war depart ment, became a code expert and was transferred to the cryptograph ic bureau just before our entrance into the first World war. Whether it’s nice or not, the exi gencies of the time are such that the newly organized foreign broad cast monitoring service is now work ing a 24-hour shift, assaying about 900,000 words of daily foreign broad casts.

So the farm boy the North Carolina mountains Vlung up his hoe and followed the white plume Old Sguirrel Gan of smoke to TaagktTycoonto fame and DrawSharpBead fortune.Young 1Jhomas A. Morgan’s muzzle-loading squirrel gun was an instrument of precision compared to the best arti fice of economics and business at h time like this. It taught the fu ture president of the Sperry corpo ration to draw a sharp bead on what ever he was shooting at and in Lin coln’s phrase, never to “shoot at a louse on his own eyebrow.” So, today, his target is post war solvency. With all the rush of defense orders and plant ex pansion there is each day some thing in the kitty for what may come hereafter. For the first half of this year, $433,316 has gone into this “cushioning” fund. The margin for error in such computations probably is greater than that of a Sperry bomb - sight, but whatever a skilled precisionist may do is being done. At 16, Thomas A. Morgan fetched up in the navy, was quickly en grossed with the magic whirligig of a Sperry gyroscope and was there by steered into his manifest destiny. His skill with the gyroscope brought him in touch with its in ventor, Elmer A. Sperry, and his career as a maker of precision in struments—the need for which is al ways in inverse ratio to the stability and precision in the affairs of men. It wasn’t all smooth sailing. During the World war, the czar’s navy was ducking and dodging and hiding in the mists. Mr. Morgan chased it here and there and everywhere, to sell it gyro scopes, caught up with it and rang up a sale. It was an epic of American salesmanship. Mr. Morgan became president of the Sperry corporation in 1928. Shortly thereafter he became an em inent patron of aviation and soon was caught up in a swirl of insti tutes, chambers, boards, funds, councils and societies—the inescap able fate of eminence and intelli gence in America. If the chariot of progress needs anything new on its dashboard, he and his company can be relied upon to figure it out and install it overnight. Mr. Mor gan had but 10 months of schooling behind him when he broke home ties to join the navy.

THOUGH practically all the girls in Hpllyvyood are hav ing their hair cut very short, M yrna Loy is holding out for longer locks. She’s showing us a new hair-do in “The Shadow of the Thin M an,” however. Part ed in the center, the hair is rolled behind the ears and caught by a barrett or a bow at the nape of the neck in a cluster of curls. She likes variety, says she, and that’s why she likes fairly long hair. Inci dentally, the Coast hairdressers are worried for fear that the tightly shorn locks of the heroine of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” will become too popular, so,. on the.. screen they’ll be longfer than in the book, we’re told. Jimmy Dorsey’s band will furnish (he music for “The Fleet’s In,” the navy musical on which Paramount certainly seems to be shooting the works. Dorothy Lamour, William Holden and Eddie Bracken head the cast, which includes Betty Hutton, Cass Daley and Gil Lamb. William Schertzinger directs. J»v Gregg Toland, who did the cam era work on Samuel Goldwyn’s “The Little Foxes,” recently picked out Hollywood’s 10 most interesting faces—said that they had one thing GARY COOPER in common, a something that “time cannot dim nor custom stale.” They are Gary Cooper, Gloria Swanson, Ingrid Bergman, Frederic March, Marlene Dietrich, Frank Morgan, John Qualen, Bette Davis and Ronald Colman. He explained that their faces register character, intelligence and physical magnet ism, adding that Bette was tops among the women, Cooper among the men. The Canadian government has thought up something new in the way of army training. Walt Disney has been commissioned to produce a group of animated films for the training of recruits—work has al ready started on one dealing with the operation of the new anti blitzkrieg weapons. On the face of it it doesn’t seem quite right that a white man has been daubing war paint on 16 Indian braves at Warner Brothers’. Fur thermore, he’s getting them ready to massacre a troop of United States soldiers. It’s all for “They Died With Their Boots On,” the story of Gen eral Custer’s final battle,, and they can’t put on their own makeup be cause it’s against the regulations of Uie Screen Make-Up Artist’s guild.

Whitman—WNU Service.) Drip From a Stove Pipe QUESTION: My stove is connected to the chimney with a pipe 12 feet long. A black liquid drips through the joints of the pipe so that I have to have pans on the floor to catch it. Can this dripping be stopped?............. Answer: I take it that you burn wood in your stove, or very soft coaL When the fire is burning, the gums and sap of wood or the oil of the coal become vaporized and start up the chimney as smoke; If the upper part of the chimney is cold, the vapors condense, and the liq uid forms; it runs" down the chim ney and through your stove-pipe back to the stove. To prevent drip ping through the joints, take the pipe down and put the sections to gether again so that the upper end of One section is- outside the end of the section next above. Attic Openings Question: In & two-family frame house, I have made an opening with a trap door leading to- the attic. To use the attic I must lay floor boards across. the two - by - four beams. Should I put in windows for cross ventilation in the attic? There are none at present. Answer: Two-by-fours are very light for attic floor beams; too light to support any weight in addition to the ceiling. You should not use the attic for storage for this reason. Openings for cross ventilation will make your house much cooler in summer than it has been. With openings, and leaving the trap-door open, you will get a thorough draft from downstairs that will carry off much of the heat of a summer day. Leaks in Water Tank Question: I have a galvanized hot water boiler in the kitchen. In two or three places it leaks about eight inches from the top. I have been putting putty on, but it does not help. Can you tell me what to put on to stop the leak? Answer: Replacement is advisa ble. A tank that is beginning to leak in several spots is evidently badly corroded and may cause seri ous damage. A sliver of white pine or maple whittled to a long tapered point fine enough to enter the hole, then driven into the opening, may; hold, longer than putty. Marred Teapot Question: After washing a new china teapot in soap and moderately hot water, I preheated it before making tea in it, after which I put the pot' on an asbestos mat over a very low gas flame, to keep it warm. A large black soot-like stain ap peared, marring the pot through from the inside to the outside. What caused this stain and is there any way I can remove it? Answer: The glaze inside the pot may have been cracked when wash ing it in hot water, when the pot was cold. The china clay under the glaze, being absorbent, soaked up some of the tea which was steeping in the pot. The stain is incurable. Too bad. Painting Old Walls Question: Old plaster walls are roughly patched and ceilings have cracks. Sonie have been white washed. Is there a cloth that could be pasted on and would stay on so that it could be painted? Answer: You can get wall-cloth that is finished in oil paint, either plain or In wallpaper designs. This will cover defects and hide cracks. Later it can be painted, if desired. Any paperhanger and decorator can supply it. Curling Corners of Rugs I Question: What tan I do to keep! the corners of my small rugs from curling? Answer: One way to take the curl out of the corners of rugs is to dampen the comers with water and then to press with a hot smoothing iron. TOien flat, they can be kept so by painting the backs with a thin solution of glue in water. Shellac can also be used. - Drain Pipe Cleaner Question: We occasionally use a drain pipe cleaner, in our kitchen sink, but are told that this will kill the action of the bacteria in our sep tic tank. Is that true? Answer: Quantities of drain pipe cleaner used frequently will stop the action of a septic tank, but the occa sional use of only enough to clear out a drain pipe should do no harm. Alligatored Paint Question: Flat paint in one of my rooms has alligatored. What can11 do to get a smooth finish again? Answer: Using a broad- putty knife, apply white lead paste to the walls to fill the alligatoring. After a few days for drying, rub down with sandpaper wrapped around a block of wood. Loose Tiles Question: Two tiles have come loose in the floor of my bathroom. What can I use that will hold them in place? Answer: At a hardware store you ;an get a kind of cement intended for tile repairs. You could also use a mixture of I part Portland ce ment and 3 parts sand, with only enough water to make a workable mixture. Before using this cement, soak the tiles in water for several hours, apply and let the mixture dry thoroughly before stepping on the loor. ■ j£ y * u t G l i a m b e t e \ LET’S MAKE A DATE FOR LUNCH (See Recipes Below) FALL LUNCHEON As the leaves begin to crackle and fall’s favorite flower, the chrysan themum, stirs in the sweet smelling earth, and fruit hangs heavy and ripe on the trees—do your thoughts turn to luncheons and bridge? If they do, prepare to have one now, using as your theme the leaves, _ fruits or flowers that fall has to of fer as a welcome c h a n g e from sum m er lunch eon s y o u m a y have had. If you are having a pre luncheon bridge, try carrying out the fall theme on the bridge tables with small vases of fall flowers, in candies, and decorations. Favors can be had using the autumn theme and prizes may be wrapped in the burnished fall shades or tied with .ribbons of that color. Whatever you do, have your tables and especially the centerpiece stun ning enough to stimulate interest and conversation. It’ll make lunch eon and bridge afterwards a real success, and star you as a smart hostess. Play up the oranges and yellow in food for luncheon, picking it up here and there in this dish and that with a touch of green to heighten in terest. Do something unusual in the main dish by having a frozen or cooked fish fillet lightly creamed and well garnished. Simple to fix, a dream to behold, yet delicate to taste, here’s your main, dish: 'Creamed Fillet of Flounder With Mushrooms. 2 packages quick frozen fillet of flounder, cooked or 2 % cups cooked fish 2 Vi cups fish liquor or light cream Vk cups sliced mushrooms 6 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper Watercress If using frozen flounder, cook in a saucepan, adding I cup boiling wa ter and % teaspoon salt, and cook until tender. If using cooked fish, be sure it is well drained. Flake fish. Cook mushrooms in butter, un til well browned, add flour. Add fish liquor and cream, gradually stirring constantly and cook until thick. Add fish and seasoning. Serve an hot buttered toast or in patty shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Gar nish with watercress. When serving the vegetables, pret ty the platter by serving both the green beans, cut in long, lengthwise strips, and the carrots cut length wise, side by side. Or have a mound of carrots or beans in the center, and then have alternating mounds of green bean and carrot strips-coin- ing out toward the rim; of the plate. If you were to take a poll among your. - luncheon - guests, you would probably be surprised how many LYNN SAYS: Sit up and take notice of fall’s possibilities for table decoration. Cornucopias and centerpieces of fruits and vegetables interlaced with burnished leaves and bright ly colored flowers certainly have a way with them and will do very nicely for your luncheon ta ble. Take a tip from the outdoors and make the most of the hum ble squash, apple, pear, or a spray of bittersweet^ Let your fruit glisten and shine by rubbing with oil and then polishing to a high luster. For more permanent effects, have the fruit laquered. Arrange pears,- apples and grapes on doilies of autumn leaves and set on a mirror for the center piece, or have the fruit arranged from the opening of a squash. Dusky red or bright chrysanthe mums look effective if arranged in a small squash. Any of these will give your table a smart note and also a piece of grand con versation for lunchear guests. Speaking of nice touches, put a leaf of deep rich red, brown, or yellow, or a bit of bittersweet to the side of a placecard. This will be just fine to carry out the autumn theme of the centerpiece.

A happy, ending may not suit the fancy of modern writers of fiction, but it does suit God.' He “who work- eth all things after the counsel of his own will” (Eph. 1:11) will see to it that redeemed man shall “be to the praise of his glory” (Eph. 1:12). The eternal, omnipotent God will bring the history of His dealings with mankind to a glorious ending. The last book erf the Bible comes to its last pages where, after dealing with the final struggle of man with his enemy Satan (which has gone on since the entrance of sin into the world in the Garden of Eden), we find the glorious, God-given revela tion of the “divine, final restoration of the universe, a picture of the home where we who love the Lord Jesus will forever dwell.” I. “The Tabernacle of God Is with Men” (w . 1-7). Our God is always with His peo ple, but there is a promise of the time when He shall “pitch His tent” (for thus we might translate the word “tabernacle”) in their very midst and . “be with them” in full and unhindered fellowship. This He once did for a time when “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14), or literally “tab ernacled among us.” In the day of which our lesson speaks He will come to live permanently with His people. The blessings of His divine pres ence are beautifully described in verses 4 to 6. There will be no more tears, because every occasion for them is gone. There will be no death, pain or sorrow, for. the one who sits upon the throne will have made everything new. Christianity, does not evade the question of sorrow and suffering, but it does point to a glorious day when they will be done forever. What a precious promise! n . “The Holy City . . . Having the Glory of God” (w . 10-12). The description of the holy city is differently interpreted, but per haps the 1 best one is that it will be in the form of a pyramid on a square base 1,500 miles in width and length (12,000 furlongs—v. 16), rising in terraces, and 1,500 miles high at the top. The description of the city is glo rious beyond words (read 2 1 :1 through 22:7), but the crowning fact of all is that it has “the glory of God.” His presence means more than all the glories of precious stones and of “pure gold, like unto clear glass.” He is more than His gifts, and His presence is more glorious than all His mighty works. ra. God the Almighty and the liamb Are the Temple (w . 22). ' . As long as we live under the pres ent conditions of life, we cannot do Without a place to m eet to worship God and to receive spiritual help and strength—a temple. But when the redeemed are gathered in the Holy City they will have no need for a temple. The place of meeting With God “which now has to be de limited from the world, and set apart for God—yes, and held with !determination and force of will against invading hosts—has there expanded to cover the whole area of human experience and activity. God’s presence has no longer to be sought; it is known; it is felt, uni versal and all-pervading as the light of day” (C. Anderson Scott). IV. No Need of the Son—the Glory of God Did Light It (w . 23, 24). I The great need of man in this world is light. He rejoices in the sun as it sheds its lifegiving rays upon the earth. He does his work and finds his healthful recreation in the day. When darkness comes, he must have illumination, that he may read, study, work, or fellowship with others. From the flickering pine knot man went on to the candle, to the lamp; and now in most places he floods his city and its homes with the light of electricity. But even so there is too much darkness in the world, and the men who love darkness rather than fight (see John 3:19) are able to practice their evil deeds. In the New Jerusalem all will be light, for the One who is light (I John 1:5) and the source of all light, .permits His glory to shine forth and “lighten it.” Jesus, the Lamb, who is the light of the world (John 8 :12 ), is the never failing lamp of the city. In such light not only the nations of the earth, but their kings as well, will want to walk, doing honor with all their glory to the One who is all-glorious. The versus 'yp<hich. f0]_ low our lesson tell us thatsthe gates of the city shall never be closed, but only that which is good and honorable shall enter in.- Nofhmg sinful, vile, or false shall come with in its blessed portals.

I think the army life is wonderful and I like it very much. We live in barracks that hold about sixty soldiers; they’re two storied buildings with thirty on each floor. We’re up at 5 a. m.. and go to sleep at 9 p. m„ except on Sunday when we ci sleep late.First thing In the morning we have ex ercises for about ten- minutes and then we make our beds and clean the barracks. We have breakfast at 5:30 a. nu and its a very substantial meal. At 7:30 we start our work, drilling or lectures and demon strations until 11:30. Dinner is at 12:00 noon, and at I p. m., we start with more drilling and more lectures un til 4:30. Supper is at 5 p. m., and after that we’re free to do as we like. The soldiers here at the Proving Grounds are assigned to the Ordinance Department so our lectures are about small arms, am munition, artillery, automobiles, trucks, chemical warfare and lots of other stuff. We just had a chance to try driving army tracks and try for army driving licenses. Pretty soon we Ii be on the firing range with .45 calibre pistols; we don’t use rifles. There’s lots of activity down here, and guns are firing all day—anti-aircraft guns, field guns and just plain pistols. Must of them are being tested. There are about 15,000 soldiers up here getting training and the camp isn’t finish ed yet. When it’s completed there will be about 30,000 troops here. Sincerely yours, Pvt PETER HENDRIX. Co.

Sidney Lander, mining engineer, rescues her aboard ship from annoyances of Erie (the Red) Ericson. Lander is engaged to "About the change in Sidney,” ccas the unexpectedly frank re sponse. “He’s a man of his word. And he’s a good mining engineer. Yet he’s willing to throw up his chances by hanging about this God forsaken valley.” I resented that slur on the land of my adoption just as I resented the implications behind it. “I have no intention," I said, “of interfering with Sidney Lander’s ca reer. I happen to have a career of my own to look after.” "I understand you’re to be a teach er here,” she said with a commiser ative small smile. ‘‘I am,” I replied. “And my work will keep me too busy to think of wrecking other people’s happiness.” "May I tell Sidney that?” she asked as she buttoned her queenly cloak of mink. "Of course,” I retorted with more vigor than I had intended. She stood silent a moment, and I could see the hardness go out of her eyes. “Thanks,” she said, rather quiet ly- Before I knew it, in fact, I found myself taking the hand which she held out to me. CHAPTER IX It didn’t come to me as a sur prise when I learned that Sidney Lander was no longer concerned with the management of the Willow Creek Mine. What perplexed me was the discovery that he didn’t go to Seward when Barbara Trumbull sailed for the States. But it wasn’t mine to question why. AU I cared to remember was that, for reasons entirely his own, he somewhat sedulously kept his trail from crossing mine. 'So, in that interim of suspended ac\ion, I lost myself in action enough of my own. I trimmed the wick of the\lamp of learning and came a little\closer to my valley neigh bors. And even Sam Bryson, I be gan to feel, was no longer an open enemy. He thawed out sufficiently around the edges to come and in spect my shack and declare the school board would have to keep me in firewood. One Sunday, as I was shoveling the drifts from my doorstep, Sock- Eye arrived with a home-manufac tured hand sleigh, which sam e, he dourly explained, would make it eas ier for me to mush supplies from the village. On that sleigh, howev er, reposed a war-scarred old rifle and an equally worn revolver, to say nothing of a Morris chair which he had fashioned with his own hands and upholstered with the hide of a moose brought down by his own trusty forty-five. ViTien he took me out to practice marksmanship on the side hill back of the shack, the rifle made my shoulder sore and the six-gun did things to my wrist. But I soon found I could hit a spruce plank at twenty paces. Sock-Eye, watch ing me, eventually admitted I han dled a shooting iron like an old- timer. “I’ll bet it was your pappy first showed you how t’ handle them peace-makers,” he chucklingly ob served. "It was,” I admitted as I took a final pot shot and made the bark fly from a hemlock trunk. “Then he gave you eddication that meant something,” conceded Sock- Eye. “I’ve seen a heap o’ changes in this cockeyed country. But she’s still raw around the edges. And there’s times when slappin’ leather’s Btill the short cut t’ a square deal.” .My teaching was an odd sort of teaching. For morning by morning, in parka and mukluks, I set out for one or another of the lonely home steads, and there, beside a stove crackling with spruce wood and birch, I held my classes, sometimes with the Monday’s washing or the Tuesday’s ironing being done on the other side of the room, sometimes with the sourdough sponge being worked into loaves on the far end of the table at which my solemn-eyed little scholars were at work with paper and pencils. I was asked, as a rule, to have dinner with the fam ily. Sometimes, when I started for home, I’d be given a jar of blue berry jara or a bowl of sauerkraut, sometimes even a slab of deer meat. But very few of them, I found, were able to be givers. Most of them were shockingly destitute. I did considerably more than teach the three R’s and correct papers and pass out assignments. Sometimes I looked after a baby or two, and took the bread out of the oven, and airily prescribed for an earache or frost bite, and tried my hand at cutting a pupil’s hair, and attached much- needed buttons and even more ur gently needed patches Ioi the gar ments of my not ungrateful little scholars. They no longer laughed at Sock-Eye’s old revolver, which I carried in a belt holster around my waist and from which I derived a somewhat foolish sense of protec tion. For I felt more self-reliant.

When Sam Bryson first told me he nad a girl in need of schooling I pictured a frail and frostbitten child W pigthils. But Salaria Bryson— universally spoken of as “S’lary”— turned out to be something quite different. I found myself confronted oy a dusky and wide-shouldered Boadicea who towered several uiches above me. She wore her hair close-cropped, dressed like a man, and could swear like a trooper. She was hard-muscled and strongly-knit and could swing an ax or drive a team or carry a deer carcass over her shoulder. She proved herself fonder of hunting, in fact, than she was of housework. And taken all in all she seemed about the most perfect specimen of physical wom anhood I ever clapped eyes on. Her attitude toward me as a chalk-wrangler was openly hostile, until she discovered I was Alaska born and had once lived in a hill camp. She was willing, after that, to overlook my unhappy dower of book learning. But there remained something pathetic about S’lary. She had missed so much of life, without quite knowing it. She was as strong as an ox and as tireless as a sleigh husky and as fearless, in one way, as a wildcat. She lniew her woodcraft and could keep herself alive, I suppose, in any cor ner of Alaska. But she was afraid of that side of life which a school teacher stands for. The sweat came out on her face when I gave her a list of third-grade words to spell. S’lary, however, was seldom meek. She shared her father’s re sentment against the outsider in general and all invaders of the val ley in particular. And certain new comers, she' intimated, would Uve longer if they talked less about that raft of broken-winded cheechakos The sweat came out on her face. the government was shipping up north in the spring. They were to be families, rumor had it, taken off relief in the Middle West, hard-working farmers who had failed in their old homes and were looking for a new Land of Hope. “But if they was failures there,” contended Salaria, “they’ll sure fail here. And all they’ll do, after the first freeze-up, is amble out and give the valley a bad name.” “But they’re to bring their wom en and children,” I pointed out, “and the government is to stand behind them and build their houses and supply them with seed and stock.” I could see-Salaria’s eyes flash. “And it’s a hell of a lot the gov- er’ment did for the old-timer,” she exploded. “They fixed it so we couldn’t even land a salmon or kill a deer without havin’ a warden at our heels. They put the bush-rat out o’ business by playin' into the hands o’ the big minin' companies. They kept us with the Indjins and Eskimos and squealed like a.stuck pig when we asked for a school al lowance. And they wouldn’t even build a road for us.” “Perhaps,” I suggested, “they’ll bring along some of the things we seem to need.” “What t’ hell do we need we ain’t got now?” was Salaria’s prompt challenge. I meekly suggested that !hospitals a n d schools and churches and good roads and telephones and a radio station might help a little. Salaria’s smoldering eyes viewed me askance. “I reckon you’ve been powwowin’ with that long-legged college dood who’s dennin’ up with ol’ Sock-Eye for the winter. He sure burns my pappy up hot-airin’ about what’s go to*, to happen to this valley. But any silk-shirt swamp-drainer needn’t look for too many lovin’ words from the old-timers who came in here N , U.

They cleared their own land and built their own wickyups and didn’t ask an agent in brass buttons t' slice their sowbelly for ’em.” It was at this point I loosed an arrow in the dark. “Then you don’t approve of Sid ney Lander?” Salaria’s smoldering eyes grew perceptibly softer. “He don’t approve o’ me,” she finally proclaimed. “He goes dumb ev’ry time I git within rifle-rangr o’ Sock-Eye’s shack.” CHAPTER X Sock-Eye appeared at my door and presented me with a bearskin, fresh off the stretching frame. I suspected this was merely an excuse for a man-to-man talk. Sid Lander, my caller casually explained, had just blown in after a week out on the trail. As I had no answer for that announcement Sock-Eye sat morosely and medita tively chewing his cud. “I reckon you think quite a lot o’ Sid?” he finally ventured. I felt the need of picking my way. with care. “He was very kind to me once,” I acknowledged. “There’s too many females think a lot o’ that hombre,” proclaimed my saturnine old friend. “It’s sure get- tin’ him roped and hog-tied before his time.” “What’s the trouble?" I asked with an effort at lightness. "The immejit trouble is that out law offspring of ol* Sam Bryson’s,” he announced. “S’lary’s hit so hard she ain’t got no shame left. She’s borrowin’ readin’ books from him and carryin’ home his socks t’ dam. And that ain’t good for no hombre who has obligations elsewhere.” “What obligations?” I inquired. “I reckon he’s told you he’s goin’ t’ marry Big John Trumbull’s daugh ter?” I could feel the bearlike old eyes studying mv face.

As I stood staring into Salaria’s flashing eyes I began to realize that she was of the same statuesque mold as Lander. She had the same love for open trails. She had the same ruggedness of body and the same wide jaw and the same brown tone to her skin. And I fell to won dering, with a ghostly twinge of en vy, if there mightn’t eventually be some kinship of spirit between them. “I’ll respect your secret, Salaria,’* I said with what dignity I could command. “Secret? It ain’t no secret,” was the prompt and primitive reply. “Even ol’ Sock-Eye knows Sid Lan der could do what he likes with me. And the fire-eatin’ ol’ killer, piped up and said he’d put a bullet through any short-horn female who made a pass at that shack-pard o’ his.” “What’s Sock-Sye saving him for?” I found myself questioning. “For that sap-headed Trumbull blonde that’s got him hog-tied, I s’pose,” was the sadly intoned an swer. “He’s willin’ t’ play ball with her even after her yellow-bellied old man came and bought up the Happy Day outfit jus’ t’ give Sid his walkin’ ticket and grind his nose is the dirt.” I sat down to think this over.
