He made a gesture that ended the talk, then swung his pony and rode to the bank. He dis- appeared into the shadows. Virginia watched Jim Randall vide back from the stream and knew genuine relief. The atmosphere was thick with danger. She could feel it.

"Score one for you!" he said, and turned away. Mel Scarlett reappeared and this. time squatted down, apart from the others, his back against a boulder near the tent. He relaxed wholly, his gaunt, roughly-clad person drooping dejectedly. He glanced at Virginia and smiled. She crossed to him, She asked him if his excursions into the brush weren't. dangerous, and he merely smiled again in an- swer. Then she asked: "What did the Apaches want?" "What did the Heutenant say they wanted?" "T don't think he maid," Virginia replied. Mel Scarlett looked up at her, his eyes wistful, She realized suddenly that 'he was a very old man and the years hadn't been kind to him. "All T got are my suspicions," he said. "I figure by their tactics that they wanted to capture It. Ram- dall" "Capture him!" Virginia's voice became a lHttle thin.

(Continued Next Week) Where Tears Turn Into Icicles According to geologists, the cold- est place in Europe is the bottom of a 450-ft. pot-hole discovered on a mountain in, Lastern Austria. Cold air currents maintain a tempera- ture of at least 58 degrees (F.) below zero. If you wanted to find the world's coldest spot you would have to visit tH® tiny village of Vershoyansk, in North-Eastern Siberia. In 1947 the temperature there was minus 113 degrees of fros:, It is not so cold as that at either the North or the South Pole! A man was once blinded at, Verk- hoyansk because another man sneezed in his face. The moisture, freezing in mid-air, smote him like pellets from an air-gun. And none of that village's 600 dares to venture out in the depth of winter for fear of being frozen tg death, t When Ernest W. Smith, the war correspondent, went on a -sledge journey in Siberia, his moustache . froze on to his fur-wraps and was nearly dragged ou' by the roots when the sledge 'iolted while he was dozing. lIcicles hung fron- his eyelashes, At Lenin's fuuer.l, he said, tcars shed by peasants actually froze into icicles as they streamed from their eyes.

Provence is mostly dry, scrubby, rocky, arid land. flowered with endless miles of olive trees, and bordered with rows o} towering, deep-green cypress. . . Provence is -a triangle of land bordering on the Mediterranean-- roughly speaking, be ween the Ri- viera and the: Spanish peninsula. It has a language quite its own, which is sometimes spoken, sonie- times sung in folk songs, and some- times used on restaurant menus for old 'times' sake. . . . : : The biggest ciiy of Provence, and the most untypical, is Mar- seilles, which is also France's larg- est port and second largest city. Big and brawling Marseilles is the' plaque tournante for Sou.heastern France. East is the Riviera, soutn across tlic sea lie the island of Cor- sica and the cities of North Africa and up the norih road are Nimes, Arles, Avignon, and the ruins of the empire that was Rome.--From "Foot-loose in France," by Horace Sutton.'

A "pencil which enables the blind to read .a_ printed page, and a "flashlight" which permits them to explore their "surroundings, have been developed in a study of elec.ronic aids for the blind. The reading device. which resembles a pencil, scans any page of ordinary type. The blind person using it wears 'an 'earphone connected to the umstrument. The device "reads," then "talks back" to the blind by transmitiing sounds. The second electronic. aid devél- oped, carried in the hand like a flashlight, is a substitute for the tapping cane. The sounds, which. vary with the nearness of objects, are transmitted to the blind per: son, allowing him to. scan scenery, detect trees, rocks and water. REEL FOR VACUUM CORD.
