I've been wanting to but remembered the old adage that familiarity breeds contempt and 1 couldn't .risk contempt from you. Have you ever seen a case of love at first sight?" "I have seen what turned out to be infatuation at first sight." THE STORY THUS FAR: Mary an eastern jirl, li lured to a by the advertisements of the Wagon Wheel dude ranch, operated by Ma and Pa Burdan. she Is met at the station by Len Henley, rodeo rider, who tells her that the Wagon Wheel has gone out of business. Len takes her to Phoenix, where she meets Len's Aunt Margaret Maxwell. Hearing that the Wagon Wheel Ranch li broke, Ham Henley Sr., Len's Sad, purchased the Burdan notes from the bank. He wants complete control. While at Phoenix Len enters the rodeo, drawing a broncho known as Mad Hatter, toughest horse In the West. Ham Henley bets his son Len three to one that Len won't be able to stay on Mad Hatter. a love that had had a quick birth and might be destined to die as quickly, but with that contingency they were, happily, not concerned, for Time, the tomb-builde- also builds Castles in Spain When they returned to the table Hamilton Henley gave them both sharp looks, in which pride and curi-osity were mingled. He said to Ma-ry, "What business is your father in, young lady?" and murmured, "Tck! Tck! Tck!" when Informed that her father had no occupation, unless that of killing time could be "Do you believe it's possible for considered one. one to fall in love at first sight of the love object?" Len asked. "In diagnosing a disease doctors often make the mistake of confusing the symptoms; hence it's not sur-prising that the symptoms of true love and infatuation always confuse the patient who will insist on being his own doctor. Love is a profound emotion and infatuation is a halluci-nation." "Well, when one feels all hippity-h- o inside, when his feeling is one of worshipfulness and admiration for quality, when he'd swim a river full of hungry crocodiles to fight three world's champions on the farther bank because they were in his way, and if he was unhappy about it be-cause his circumstances indicated he should keep his mouth shut " "Why, you old Pollyanna!

"I should have retired long ago myself," he an-nounced, "only I been afraid to. I wouldn't know what to do with my time. It takes a smarter man than I be to make his pile an' retire an' chuck the habit o' work. The art o' playin' has got to be learnt when a feller's young, like Len." "My father started learning it in his crib." "I see. Your grandfather done it all, eh?" "No, the drone strain in our fam-ily sprang from my who went to California in 1849.

The nrice of a drink was a The ladies donned their wraps presently and the party motored out to the Phoenix country club in Ham Henley's car. The orchestra was playing as they entered the dining room, so Len appropriated Mary for a dance while his father led Mrs. Maxwell to the table. "Well," he announced, as they ircled the small dance floor, "that's my old man, dinner clothes, cow-man's fine boots, black sombrero ind his own tobacco and cigarette papers. I hope you'll like him." "I hope I shall. He requires know-ing, however, although I have half suspicion his bark is very much worse than his bite. I gathered that you haven't seen each other for a long time." "We don't travel the same roads, Miss Sutherland." "It's nice to think you'll meet now that you have decided to buy the Wagon Wheel ranch." She added, after a long pause, "Why not leave the Wade brothers to some- - pinch of gold-du- from a miner's poke and had an unusually large thumb and forefin-ger. Eventually he employed both bands and grabbed everything In sight." That tale drew a hearty laugh from Hamilton Henley. "Well, you ain't a stuck-u- p dude at any rate," he complimented her. "Len's great grandfather was one o' the first set-tlers in Arizona an' while the grab-bi-was good an' he had the grab-bi-instinct the Indians didn't leave him no time to grab. All he col-lected was the scelps o' Apaches twenty-eig- of 'em, an' then got himself killed resentin' an insult to his jedgment o' scelps.

He spoke in Spanish Mary was to discover that a great many native Arizonans are "Be careful, son. I'd have kissed her, too at your age.

"But first he'll make me demon-itrat- e I can manage it capably and profitably. So I think I'll glean my experience on a job that I'll boss; then, if there should arise necessity for a good job of criticism or scolding, I'll do it." "I could wish you hadn't made that bet with him, Don Leonardo." "I could, too, but he asked for it and I gave it to him, because there was a certain malice behind his de-sire . . Well, not malice, really, but that hateful formula of father-hood in the woodshed. He thinks I'm conceited about my rough riding and that it's his duty, as my father, to lake a modicum of that conceit out of me. Also, he'd like to wreck me o hpcause he thinks that "Call me Mary, Len?" something sloppy and synthetic has taken its place in the modern world?" "Not one hundred per cent. For instance you could not possibly in-duce in any man anything sloppy or synthetic.

Hamilton Henley spoke again to his son in Spanish. "Not that I blame you, son. It ain't often a fuse blows out and leaves you in the dark for half a minute with a dashin' young woman like this one. A feller's got to smother his oppor-tunities." "I suggest you start getting ac-customed to her now, father, be-cause I'm liable to marry her in spite of hell and high water." "You would," Ham Henley re-plied. "Trust you to make a fool of yourself. And after she's lived with you about a year she'll tell you East is East and West is West, an' leave you flat, takin' the baby with her." "What I have I hold. If she leaves me it will be my fault and I'll take it on the chin. I'll not be embit-tered like you." Ham Henley turned to Mary. "What brought you boundin' out to Arizona?"

They help themselves to whatever they want." Aloud he asked, "Can you cook?" "Certainly not." "Suppose you married a feller that couldn't afford to hire a cook for you?" Margaret Maxwell noticed that Len appeared to be having difficulty subduing some slight internal dis-turbance. She did not speak Span-ish and she did not know how this which her woman's intuition warned her was an undeclared war had started. However, she decided to find out, so to that end said, "Len, I'm not so old and stiff in the knees I wouldn't enjoy another dance with you." Then she added, "Suppose we leave these two to get better ac-quainted." Out on the dance floor with Len she said: "I'm not color-blin- dear, and neither is your father. That adorable girl, kissed you." "Half a dozen times." he con-fessed with huge satisfaction. "I slipped out and gave the colored bar-tender an honorarium to pull the electric switch for thirty seconds."

Hexagon Shape Seems To Have Nature's Favor Among the countless things na-ture makes d are snow-flake- s, the cells of the honeycomb and the segments of the eye of the housefly, says Collier's. The hexagonal form is also found in chemistry. When a strong solution of salt water, colored with carmine water color, is dropped, drop by drop, into a weak solution of salt water in a flat plate, the round red drops converge and form a pattern of hexagons. |
