Van took me back to the [Monterey hotel thet night" she resumed, finding her words slewly. "And he kissed me good-by and said that he would always love me and that I belonged to him. I be- lieved him. I was all excited but not ashamed, not one bit unhappy, Gail. I thought that there was something heroic about it-- "Dot didn't come in until after I did and of course I didn't give her any hint. But we talked things over and decided that we'd gét up early the next day and give the boys the slip. We were wild at em! But the next morning the i said that they were sorry and {they'd drive us home quickly and the whole thing would blow over. "I was--well of course I hadn't jslept all night, but it was a sort of ipleasant excitement too; I felt-- Sort of swimming, in emotion' you ow, and I said I'd like to watch the Pebble Beach golf for a little wha; so we went there. Van was looking stunning of course and rribly sweet; and we had & Tew words together-- "I wanted to get home and get rested, and have things to go back {to normal. So we started aoout twelve and then-- "Then of course the accident ame, I thought Van would come to me the minute -he heard, But he 't. He stayed away--I thought I would lose my mind, worrying and thinking and wondering if that 'would come out in the evidenee too where I'd been from midnight un- ti two o'clock Saturday night. "And then when he did show up court, he only would laugh, and couldn't get him back to that ood--the way he'd been at Cypress . {--and he didn't say about an engagement, ! "Once when I said something he (hushed me up as if he were scared ven to think about it, and said his p-father would cut him off with- out a cent if he ever dreamed of it! He said that the main thing was to keép out of jail" i Gall d hear him.

"But he didn't. He was wonder- care--that way. "And then Christmas week came and Dick was going Christmas af- ternoon to Los Angeles on a case for three weeks. I wondered if he could get me a job, any kind ot job. So I went fo lis Sitice-ang 1 told him the wh A "He was wonderful! He never said a word of blame; the only thing he seemed to think of was how to get me out and how to spare you and Ede and Phil. He adores our family of course. 'He sald that since I was a minor a very serious charge could be brought against Van. At first I wouldn't consider © that. But he talked me over and composed a let- ter to Van, as my lawyer, and sent it off that afternoon, a few days before Christmas. And Dick told me just to keep quiet and not worry and he would keep working at it and it would all come out all right. "Van wouldn't write me, ever through the Clippersville post of- fice, for fear we'd be discovered. We had rented a box in the Greenvale post office and I used to take the trolley over there and ask for let- ters. And during this Christmas week I went over and there was a letter--from Van. "I had written him that I was sure now." But he didn't say any- thing about that. He just said that he was not going back to college but that his father had staked him a year's trip around the world, and he and his chum were going. Gall, it went through my heart like a bullet. "You should have wired his mother!" Gall said passionately. "You oughtn't to have let him get away with it!" bw . "She knew of course." "She couldn't!" "Of course she did!" Gall was silent, sickened by the badness of the world. 'Van had simply--as far as she cared," Ariel said, "simply got @ Clippersville girl into trouble!" "I can't bear it!" Gail whispered hands over her face. "Gall ,do you know that I neve: felt--bad." Gall reddened in embarrassment "I know what you mean." "I mean," Ariel said, "that I lov- ed him--I did care. I was carried away; I'd never loved any one be- fore! But what I did feel was fury Fury at myself for being such 2 fool! Like some cheap little factory worker--like a servant girl; why the servant girls have more sense! I could have torn myself to pleces having Van smile and go his way and Dorothy and her mother clea: out like that." 'You have a child, Ariel?" "Wait, Well, I lay awake all thal night of Christmas Eve and 1 thought and thought--how to ge! away, what to do! And it seemed to me that I was going raving mad JI was, too. .And then quite. . ly, peacefully, I made up my mind to go away with Dick, to make you think we were eloping. I thought that if Van sent for me I could tell you then, and if he didn't-- Dick would fix some way out! "I got up at four and packed my bag and ged it down and shut it in the old woodshed. That af- bod 10 gone to Miss Vail's I went out and waited for the trollty, and took the bus to San Jose, and bought myself a ticket to Gilroy. That was as far as my money would go. After the train had started I walked through it, and I found Dick talking to a man, and he came right back with [" "You see, Gail, ten days after that 1 I knew what I was facing.

"You poor little thing!" It was the first note of sympathy that had ome into Gail voice and Ariel an- swered i% by a quick blinking of filling eyes. "It was all my own doing, Gaill" "Isn't it always?" Gall asked lowly. Those had been happy days for . Days in which she haa ais- covered Dick, discovered her own heart. And all the time the little Ariel said. "It's--well, there seem' to you to be just two classes of wo-. in the world. .The girls who in trouble, and the ones who 't! And no others. And you to yourself, "if I ever get out-- I ever get out--" "I can imagine!" "I told Van. I didn't know what to do! He didn't believe me or sald he didn't" Ariel resuthed, 'and the next thing I knew some told me calmly that he'd gone as just one thing, used. "Just one thing from killing myself," e added. //And that was you." "Me!" me and I told him what I'd done! "And wds he wild?" "Wild Oh, no! He said that he thought I had done right. He was wonderful!" Gail's eyes flashed darkly blue "Dick--" she breathed. "He sald he thought-it was the right thing to do.

THEIR MINDS He's merely stubborn you will find, Who will not sometimes change his mind. --Speedfoot the Coyote. It was not all playtime for the little kids of the Antelope band. Goodness, no! There were les- *song every day. Some of these lessons were part of the play and these were the nicest lessons to ramember. But there were other lessons. Sometimes right in the middle of a game one or another of the mothers would give a dan- ger signal and each little Ante- lope would drop where it was and there lie, looking as much as pos- sille like a part of the surround. ings until Mother gave the sig- nal that all was well once more. That danger signal was always given whenever a stranger, were it man, horse, cow, coyote or anyone else big enough to be a source of possible danger, appear- ed in sight, This was to get the children out of sight before they were seen, As soon as the moth- ers were sure that the stranger was harmless the children were pllowed to resume their play. So the days passed and the kids ran races across the prairie and grew swifter of foot and stronger of lung and better prepared to run for their lives should there he need, Now Speedfopot the Coyote and Mrs. Speedfoot had never ceased to think of the baby Antelope din- rer they had been so sure of when they had hunted for Kid Antelope and his twin. sister They knew that they had been completely fooled and outwitted by Mrs. Fleetfoot, but they had- r't given up hope that they would some day get even and have that delicious dinner their mouths wa- tered for. Then one day whan they were hunting gophers they saw the Antelope band coming their way and that band cone tained a number of kids. At the game time the two coyotes were flat in the grass, so they had not been seen, "Now {is the time we ought to get that Antelpoe dinner," said Speedfoot, "They are feeding right tédwards us. If they get ncar enough we ought to be able to separate one of those kids from the band, and once we do that, he is ours." "They are big enough to rua pretty fast," ventured Mrs. Speed. foot doubtfully. "True enough," replied Speed- foot, 'but they cannot keep fit up for long and we can. It would have been much easier to have found those kids before they could rum, but we didn't. Now if we are smart, we should be able to get at least one of them, If we take them by sur- prise and dash right in among them they will scatter in all di- rections. Then we will pick out one and run it down." Nearer and nearer came the band of Antelope, all unsuspect- ing, for it was very still and there was no wind to take the scent of the Coyotes to them. The kids were gamboling and playing as usual, When they were as near as they were likely to come Sneedfoot dashed straight for the band, with Mrs. Speedfoot at his heels. The very thing happened that Speedfoot had counted on. There was a frightened scattering in ali directions. One kid, who was separated from his mother and sister and did not see which way they ran, started off th blind terror straight away from the others. The two Coyotes made straight for him, They paid no attention to the others. He was a good runner was that little fellow, and for awhile, Speedfoot, fast as he was, could not gain. But he knew that the kid would tire shortly and he grinned as he ran. Then at the sound of galloping hoofs he glanced hack. The kid's mother was coming at full speed. Speedfoot had expected this. He would keep her occupied while Mrs, Speedfoot ran down the kid. That was the advantage of hunt- ing together. Straight ast Speedfoot dash- ed the frantic mother, dodging him as he leaped at her. Mrs. Speedfoot had almost caught the kid when the angry mother was upon her and she was obliged to dodge.

But it was too late, Another angry mo- ther had arrived and a third was coming, for by this time all the other kids were lying low. Abruptly the Coyotes changed their minds. They didn't want young Antelope for dinner. They had an important engagement elgewhere, and they started to keep it at top speed while two thoroughly angry Antelope chus- cd them and his mother comfort- ed the trembling, panting little kid. .

BROTHERSTONE-=PALMER A pretty wedding of particular interest in Picton and Peterbor- ough took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd S. Palmer, 316 King Street East, on Saturday af- ternoon, when their sister, Doris Edna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ethan Palmer, of Picton, became the bride of Andrew Brotherstone, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Brother- stone, of Peterborough. Rev. T. Harston performed the ceremony in the living room before an,im- provised altar of ferns and bas- kets of summer flowers in front of the fire place. The charming bride, given in marriage by her brother, Mr, Lloyd S. Palmer, was gowned in an afternoon frock of white crepe with trimmings of place green. She wore a picture hat of white and carried a hou- quet of butterfly roses. The bride's only attendants were the two winsome daughters of the host, Leone and Frances Louise, both in dainty frocks of Nile green French organdie, and car- rying baskets of white larkspur and pink butterfly roses. At the conclusion of the wed- ding ceremony a reception was held and refreshments served to the twenty-four guests. Later the bride and groom left by motor for Kingston to take the boat for a short trip. They will return to make their home in Peterborough.

MENTAL HEALTH OF CHILDREN STUDIED Conference in Wales Dis- cusses Important Aspects of Matter London -- Proper attention is only now being paid to the mental health of children, and parents and doctors have much to learn. That was the effect of what Dr. Llewellyn Williams, Medical Mem- ber of the Welsh Board of Health, had to say recently when he pre- sideq at the Maternity and Child Welfare Conference at Cardiff, In the past, he said, parents never thought of having a doctor for wayward, timid, or passionate children or seeking his advice for untruthful, dishonest or immoral children, but now doctors were be- ing called in. Morality wag to some extent a question of health, temperament and environment. Even vice might depend on disease, heredi- tary or acquired, Must Be Taken Young "Temperament plays an impor. tant part in _a child's life," said Dr. William¢. "Children's emo- tional sufferings are very real, and are intensified if neglected, ignored or misunderstood. "We must take preventive measures to check excitability and strengthen a child's control be- fore he develops bad habits for it is from this class we get. the neurasthenic, *'Unemotional children are easi- ly brought up. They are the backbone of the country, good at games, excellent citizens, but not distinguished for anything in par- ticular except unimpeachable or- thodoxy and respectability. They respond well to medical treatment and pay their bills. "The neurotic, emotional class are difficult to understand and handle, being full of idiosyncra- sies, unreliable and not respon- sive to treatment, but they are very intelligent. ow | "Many have creative minds, and from them come, our poets, painters, musicians and some- times inventors so they are well worth while. "It is time we applied the principles of preventive medi- cine, 80 successful in physical ail- ments, to ills of the mind; but we must do so in early childhood." Dr. Alice Hutcheson, medical officer of Tavistock-square Clinic for Functional Nervous Disorders, said we should feel afraid if chil- dren reached the age of seven be- fore asking anything about the origin of life. It was the children who turned away and said nothing who demanded sympathetic un- derstanding. "It is perfectly normal," she said, "for children to tell wun- truths and romance up to the age of seven. It is most valuable for them to romance, so long as they learn to come back to reality, as we do when leaving a theatre door." treal, flying a Canadian machine, | Seven Women to Compete In British Air Race Classic +* Yes, truth is stranger than fle- tion; probably because it is not heard so often.
