"For goodness sake!" Mrs. Need: ham gasped. "] came along with the horses, Ma. "Anyway, 'twas pretty lonesome at the ranch, Thought maybe your interest in the horses proved you was hanker- in' to get back." "It certainly. does not," Ma snap- "ped. "And. there's=another thing that brought me," Pa continued. 'Some- thing I want to talk to Gay about." "What!" Mrs. Needham asked sus- piciously. "About that purifyin' plant, a lot of sickness this year. That ir- rigatin' water never was so bad. Thought Gay might like to put up some money--" There's "I would!" Gay said quickly, but her 'mother interposed. "Nonsense! You need your money for other things." And that seemed to settle it, "How long will you be here, John?" Mrs. Needham asked her husband. "Guess I'll be leavin' tomorrow." "Why don't you stay, Daddy?" Gay pleaded. 4 But Mrs. Needham again objected. "Why, look at him, Those clothes, that hat! He'd disgrace ts. No it's better, John, for you to go back to the ranch." Pa swallowed .-hard. "Guess you are right, Ma. But first, 1 think I'll amble down to Virginny to see Celia at that school. There's something about her letters--she's restless and unhappy. I'll stop down there and see her, and then, I'll go back .and stay where I belong." = "Take Jock With You" Mrs. Needham was thoughtful for a few minutes, "I wonder," she said slowly * 'wheth- er it wouldn't be a good idea to take Jock with you." She looked at her husband. "He's been drinkihg too much, and gambling, and there's an actréss who--seems to be a bad in- fluence, If he'd go back to the ranch for a few months--I'm worried about him. Oh, sometimes I wish we'd nev- er come East!" The sudden her WOMEN WHO SUFFER OMEN who suffer in si- . lence often pay a double penalty for wearing this gag of unselfishness or silly pride.

Pa pleaded. "We can't, Pa. We've a year's con- tract with Van Gordon." "I see. Well, I'll see what I can do about Jock anyway." But later, when Pa saw Jock, his hope that the hoy might go home with him was quickly dispelled. "Not as long as I can toddle about Broadway," Jock answered, Pa did succeed, however, in mak- ing the boy sit down and listen to him and, before he finished, Jock's bored air had left him, Finally he took hig father's hand. i "You're right, Dad, about us," he said huskily, "But I've some gambling debts. - I couldn't leave now. In a few months--maybe . . ." They stood then, face to face, hands clasped--nearer to each other than they had been for a long time. Then Jock went out, and Pa dropped wear- ily into a chair, CHAPTER VII A few days later, Pa Needham reached home after a most unsatis- factory visit with Celia. "Muley," one of his cowboys, met him at the depot. "Half this country's got typhoid," Muley glumly. informed him, "and they say Celia's friend, Dick Myers, is in a critical condition." Pa was shocked. er?" he queried. . "Yep! "You'd 'better drop me off at the Myers' place," Pa said quietly. Later, when he looked at Dick My- ers' fever-flushed face, and heard him "muttering, "Celia"--talking to her in his delirlum--Pa turned away with tears in his eyes, He made tracks for the barn, where sitting on an upturned barrel, he whittled furiously. - Mingled with Dick's fevered cries, were the words of Celia when he had visited her. "Please take me home with you, Daddy ... TI hate it here... and--and I must see Dick!" He had done his best to comfort her, to per- suade her to stick it out because of her mother's wishes. "Huh," he now mused, whittling slower and slower, Then, he threw the stick away and hurried back to the house. "Want to put in a call," he said to Mrs. Celia." A few days after that telephone conversation, Gay received an air-mafl letter- from her sister. "I just want you to know," {it be- gan, "that I'm home and married to Dick Myers, who may die of typhofd. It's your fault, Gay -- yours and Mother's. It's the irrigation water, of course, .." There was much more --all a bitter denunciation. Gay cried for several minutes after finishing the letter, Then, determin- edly, she phoned the trust company that handled her money, and instruct- ed that thirty thousand dollars be sent to hér father at once. She followed that with a wire to her father to start all of "Irrigatin 'wat- long-distance Myers. 'To plans for the purifying plant.

His gambling debls were taking on staggering pro- portions, She found him in bed, recovering from a hangover. She gave him Celia's letter. "That crazy kid," he muttered, "As though it's our fault! I would not even answer that letter." "I already have," Gay replied. 'I've sent Pa thirty thousand for the plant and--and--Jock--I want to talk to you , .."" "Not this morning," Jock groaned, holding his head. "This hangover..." "That's just it," Gay interposed. "You have a hangover every morn- ing." "It's Irene," Jock sald miserably, "She's driving me crazy!" "Why don't you quit seeing her?" "I've tried, Jock answered, "but I can't. I'm crazy in love with her. A fellow tries to do the right thing but, with a girl like Irene pulling him on-- oh, what's the use! I'm throwing your money around like confetti, Gay, but " "ee "We'll talk about it some other time," Gay soothed. She left the room, and went down- stairs. She stopped near the library door at the sound of her mother's an- gry voice.

How to Choose A Proper Mate Boston Prok essor Wor Out A ~ Test Sytem to' to A Boston Univers professor has worked out a "yardstick" for picking a mate, says the Sydney Post-Record, Dr, Dayld D. Vaughan, professor of social ethics at the university's school of theology, who dréw up the 22-point chart, said one of his students rated two girls by it, proposed to the one with the highest score and was accept- ed. 'Total Score 100 Each/item in the "mate-chart'" has a score, the total reaching 100 points, as follows: 3 Health, geven points, Intelligence, femily (biological in- "eritance), capacity for conjugal af- fection and personal integrity (faith. fulness), six points each. : Age, education, religion and busi: ness ability received tive points each. Four points each are awarded to the family (social inheritance); disposi- tion (personality); emotional balance (patience) sense of humour, sgocial- mindedness (unselfishness); sense, of responsibility (ambition, self-reliance) appearance (style sense); common in. terests (comradeship) and domestic interest, Three points each go to artistic and aesthetic interests; wealth and' leisure time interests, Royal Training For Quints ; The Dionne quintuplets are to be --trajned-to- withstand-the public stare like a "royal family," it was. disclosed !

Such objects, consisting mainly of implements of flint and stone, and tools of bone and horn, have been found in considerable quantities in the upper reaches where deposits of gravel overlie the heavy London clay in many places. Small riverside com- munities appear to have settled .in this region wherever a favorable site could be found. t: Could 'Make Pottery These Stone Age men living on the banks of the Thames, attained a fair- ly high level of culture, even so far back as two thousand years before .Christ, They possessed a knowledge of agriculture growing wheat « and barley, and kept flocks of domestic animals; - Their industries included spinning, weaving, pottery making, mining and flint knapping. Among the implements recovered is a formidable axe which is called the "Thames Pick," varying from 4 to 20 inches in length, a solid rod of flint chipped into shape and point: ed at one endl How Life Be Began: ~~ A New Theory - Is Advanced That Evolution Of Life Started On This Planet Following Collision With An- - other Planet. Life on earth may have begun as the result of its collision with an- other planet moving through the uni verse at tremendous speed, Lucien Beckner, geologist of Louisville, Ky., told the Association for the Advance- ment of Science meeting last week -at Indianapolis. Attacking previous theories-on the. origin of the continental land masses and 'the oceans, Beckner declared they could not account for the dis- tribution. of layers of rock in the earth, particularly the top layer on which pan depends. for his existence. Moon, Thrown Off By Earth Another theory, called isostasy and developed by Major William Bowie of the coast and geodetic survey at Washington, holds that stead of a collision being responsible for the present d'stribution of land and oceans, the earth threw off a large piece of matter which 'is now the "moon. Measurements of the mass of the moon indicate it is approximately equal to the mass of rock which would fill in' the present water area of the earth. advanced by Beckner do not account for the restricted distribution of the two upper layers of rock on th: earth, their accidental shape, or their phy- sical constitution, he declared, and only the theory of an accidental ti- tanic collision of one body with an other in the skies could account for such distribution, : From this distribution of new ma- _ terial on the earth's surface, evolu tion of life probably began, he added, giving water animals the opportunity to get a foothold on solid ground and "begin déveloping into new evolution ary forms, Two Cigarettes Dulls Taste After two cigarettes, the sense of taste gets temporarily keener in about one persqn in four, while for the other three, taste is dulled. This discovery, which turned up us' expectedly during studies of heredi ty, was reported to the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Science by Ada Hall of Wellesley College of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The experiment was tried on about 60 persons. They went nine hours without a smoke. Then they smoked two cigarettes and tasted a bit of phenyl-thio-carbamide, This stuff tastes bad, worse than quinine.
