It was remarkable that the car kept on the road despite the terrific rate of speed it was traveling. Chickens cawing shrilly fled !rom the road. Cows lumbered heavily out of the way. People stopped at their various tasks to gaze at the automobile and its hilarious occupants, and to shake their heads and sigh as they resumed their work. The group of animated young people in the car had consumed a copious amount of intoxicating liquor. Their idea of a good time was the telling of vulgar jokes, socalled "necking", and reckless driving. When they should have been just bursting into womanhood and manhood like budding flowers, these young society people were polluting their minds and bodies with liquor, cigarettes, and cheap talk. Now they were quarrelling over whose turn it was to have a draught from the flask. But this was never decided, for with a lurching, dizzy motion, the car plunged over a precipitous cliff. Deafening crashes like the distant booming of many guns sounded as the car and its occupants struck a jagged pile of rocks a. hundred feet below. Days later when Marylyn DeVeau, one of the members in the accident, awoke in her luxuriou s bedroom with a devoted, distracted father by her side, and with many nurses and her step-mother in the room, did she learn t h e results of that reckless party. One of the crowd crippled fo r life, two of it since buried-she of the four the only one saved. Marylyn shuddered at the realization o:f the tragedy. Thus ended that disastrous hour of entertainment. When a much chastened Marylyn was fully recovered, her father one day called her into the library to talk to her. "Marylyll\" he began. leaning back in his chair, ..you are like your mother. Long golden hair, large dark eyes, a saucy, inpudent nose, a lovely for m, grace--Yes, you resemble her in all this!' He paused for a moment, and then as he continued his face seemed sad "'I had hoped your soul, too. would be bea.uti.ful like hers, noble, ambitious. ldnd. But I am s i ncerely, genui.n,ely disappointed. You are cheap, BE':Ifish, mean, disobedient and unkind; aiJ the base things' your mother was not." Seeing the look of amazenumt, chagrin, and even amusement de- pict e d in his ds\ltrhte r ·~ fr· ::t'"Hr~R. he. ceased for :-.. moment. Takin~ .P<h.~an~l\~c of this ].-!nrylyn said, ••Fat..;.cr, I am !'mre I do not understand your sudden mood, but don't you think it is going a bit strong to call your own flesh and blood surh names?" "It is true and you know it is true," went on Mr. DeVeau, and seej:pg that Marylyn was about to interru.pt hi.."'ll., he silenced her with a w·.~: vc o"f his hand flJld went on, ·~ linve tried. your atepmother has trfed, to bring you up wi~h n fine sense of propri'ety stamped on your conscience. Perhtt.ps we used the "\.V!'("'D.;; tactics. We showed our love wit!l material things. Weheaped Upon you every convenience, every luxury. V{e thought we did right. But it is obvious to us and to the world tJ)at our method was a dismal failure ... Duri.Iig this discourse Marylyn had stood erect. a scornful curl Of disdain on her Jips. When he had finished ~be said sa.rcasticallv "Well, I'm glad mv devoted pa.reiif ha!!! such a flattering, complimentary, estimation of the value of his daughter." "Marylyn, I shall not endeavor to argue with you. That is an impossibility. I shall merely give you the facts and you'll accept them whetb,er they please or vex you. I thought that the gruesOineness of this accident, the horrible scandal (you know. my dear, that you have no one's sympathy), would reform you and take some of the recklessness and excess frivolity out of your spirit. But you !'.re unchastened, still the undisciplined girl you were of yore ... Marylyn, now thoroughly disgusted and provolt:ed, replied in caustic, bitter tones, "Now that you have thoroughly discussed my deficiencies, may I go? I ha.ve a rather important engagement pend ing at the clubhouse and am fully f ive minutes late.'"' c "You will not attend this import- ant engagement." Mr. DeVeau slightly accented the word import- going com- pletely mad, or have you been sampling the Christmas beverages down in the basement? Come, now, don't delay me further with this nonsensical joke," she laughingly answered, but seeing the serious aspect of his countenance she drew back and a puzzled frown wrinkled her brow. Crossing the floor and opening the door leading to the hallway he said, "You have only a short time to don your traveling togs, remember.' Then he left 'the room quietly. All Marylyn's vigorous protests and anger were of no avail. and in sixty minutes a tearful, rebellious.young girl of eighteen was safely stowed on board a passenger train bound for the far-western ranch of her uncle, Mr. William Jameson. The trip was tiresome. The monotony of the noise ot the wheels, the never-ceasing stretch of land, and even the kindly consideration of the conductors and passengers only irked Marylyn. And when she arrived at the socalled station of the little cattle town her spirits were indeed low. Her Uncle. Big Bill, as he was called by his hired hands and the neighboring ranchers, was a strong ly-built individual whose skin was toughened by the winds .of the Prairie, tan:ped by the hot rays of the sun, and calloused by hard labor. But in his eyes were kindness and deep understanding of humanity and life. Experience had taught him many lessons and he had read between the lines of the letter his brother-in-law had wrttten him. He comprehended the filial love and devotion of his dead sister's husband and the eager hope and the doubt he was experiencing. He had written in reply taking over the responsibility of caring for Marylyn for one year. So the conspiracy tor Marylyn's welfare was planned. Mr. DeVeau had done hls part by getting her safely to him. The rest depended upon Bill. As the puffing train pulled In and stopped, he was prepared to meet her. It was true that he had expected her to be like an untamed colt, but she far exceeded a.ll his dubious expectations. He realize d, with a sinking heart what a d i fficult tasJc be had undertaken. But he was prepared for it and he n1et the storming girl with a smile. After a lapse .of three months Marylyn's spirit was stin fiery. She had gained more beauty from life n th e op en wtthout liquor, cigarettes, and cosmetics. Her only joy was r!_ding Gypsy. a gift of her uncle's. She ha.ti becmn c an e :cpe rl rider. She had learned to shoo t a.nd various other thing·s that onl v a Western cow-hand could teach But for the second time in h e:· life Marylyn was den.ied her own Ct?sire. Thus reflecting she rode over ~he· hi!! n.nd sitting with case in the !'iaddle she gazed over th .... great expanse of laud dotted with la .. ~:- her·ds of grRz.ing cattle. Ya.-s. h r"" f h c ught.3 were n•)t plcaso.nt oneq. S !-tf' fullv r~:tllzr>rl th r·n •Nha t h.e ... mom~nts of frivolity had cost her, :.ne nuicUlt: and disdain of a tall lEmcsl, noble cowboy. If anyv!l~ had told her a month ago that she would be repenting because of the love of a man, she would have derided, scorned, cursed them. But t.he see mingly inevitable had happened. It was true. Taking her field glasses she gazed upon the feeding herds. She spied a man upon a white steed. It was he. How she admired his agility and strength. Her reveries were suddenly interrupted by the :'ippearance of B.!lother person by her side. lt was Ramon Sanchez a Spanish-blooded cowboy, owne; ot a p.eighboring rancb. Marylyn dr-ew her horse away from his. He had been paying amorous attentions to her, and though f=he felt flattered by hls advances, h e was repulsive to her and she sensed danger in his presence. So, not desiring to converse with him, she drew away and turned as if to rle~ part. But he detained her hy grabbing hold of her reins. ''Do not burry so. beautlful ~~n orita. I have something of utmost importance to say to you," he said in broken accents. (Continued next week.) HOW SMART ARE YOU? Answers on page 4 1. How long is a fathom? 2.
