Reyburn would appreciate She relented toward you to the extent of naming you legatee should the girl die without children; she was canny enough to prevent her fortune from falling into the hands of her family. You wouldnt think Brooke Reyburn a schemer if you saw her; youd know that she had a background of cultivated living. She has a vivid face with a deep dimple at one corner of her lovely mouth; her voice is sweet, spiced with daring. She came out of college to carry her whole darn family when her father died he was one of the tragic twenty-niner- s whose investments were wiped out now, I suppose, her brother, who is acting in a stock company, and her sister will chuck their jobs and settle down on her.

We were talki- facing her couldnt have looked more stunned when she made her theatrical entrance had a hold-u- p man with leveled gun suddenly stepped from behind the hanging So this was Mark Trent. She had been careful never to go to Lookout House when he was there, for fear that he might think she had planned to meet him. She had not realized that he would be so bronzed nor so tall, that his dark eyes were so uncompromising, nor that the set of his mouth and chin could be so indomitable. There was a fiery strong quality of life in him which sent prickles of excitement like red-hslivers shooting through her veins. She knew now that she should have appeared from behind that hanging at Jed Stewarts first word. Stewarts always ruddy face was the color of a fully grown beet. He coughed apologetically. Sorry, Miss Reyburn. Didnt know youd come. Ill slit the throat of that secretary of mine for not telling me. So you two have met before? Thats a coincidence. No coincidence about it, Jed. Apparently we were both on the way to this office to keep an appointment with you, when we met in the street almost in front of this building. Brookes anger flared again at Mark Trents cool explanation. She met the terrier brightness of Jed Stewarts gray-gree-n eyes. She had liked him when she had come to his office in response to the courts amazing notification that she was residuary legatee under the will of Mary Amanda Dane. The black and white check of his suit accentuated the rotundity of his body. He puffed out his lips as he regarded her with boyish entreaty. She laughed. The present uncomfortable situation only goes to prove, doesnt it, Mr. Stewart, that listeners never hear any good of themselves? Though really I wasnt listening. I stepped behind the hanging to look at the marvelous view, and then You heard Jed say that your hair was like copper with the sun on it, and I stufJ my fingers in my ears for a while, but I heard a lot more, a whole lot more, Brooke cut in on Mark Trents sarcastic reminder, before I heard you refuse to marry me. it But that was before I had seen The suavity of his voice you. brought hot tears of fury to her eyes. Before she could rally a caustic retort, he pjcked up his hat. Thats a bully exit line. Ill be seeing you, Jed. Hope youll enjoy the house and the fortune. Miss Reyburn. Happy landings! He laughed. Id better say, Safe landings! Youre such a reckless person. Hi! Fella! With an impatient jerk, Mark Trent shook off the hand on his sleeve, rammed his soft hat over one . eye, and closed the door smartly behind him. Stewart relieved his feelings in an explosive sigh and pulled forward a chair. That seems to be that. Sit down, Miss Reyburn, while I tell you about the allowance which will be made you while Mrs. Danes estate is being settled. ot ng of the Reyburn girl. You have nerve to make the suggestion that I marry her. Men have been put on the spot for less. I wouldnt marry that schemer if Brooke flung back the hanging in a passion of rage.

New Breed of Rabbit Produces Havana Satin Pelt, Free From the Rough Hairs At the annual show of the ican Rabbit and Cavy Breeders association here, the animal most attractive to delegates was a long, sleek Havana Satin, which featured a new and important development a glossy coat, writes a Fort Wayne, Indiana, United Press correspondent. Free of the rough guard hairs of the common domestic strain, this new type offered to furriers a pelt short, soft, uniform in texture, possessed of an unusual, natural sheen. Rabbit breeders are considered almost as important to furriers of this country as those men who provide sable, ermine and exotic brands. Although foreign furs are more expensive, the rabbit, simulating other animal pelts, is offered public in great to the e quantities. Nubian seal is rabbit fur. There are twenty-on- e other legal trade names. Regulations of the association require a new breed to be exhibited three successive years before gaining recognition as a genuine new model. Then, the breeder must show proof of some characteristic Amer- one-typ- to justify this breeding innovation of other types. Most breeds can be traced to Europe, and the bulk of the show rab- bits are descendants of rabbits prevalent as far away as Patagonia and India hundreds of years ago. A new line starts when a breeder sees a mutation, an unpredictable freak, in a litter. Always weak, the freak requires introduction of r' pevitality, then over a riod the strain is strengthened. A likely offspring is mated back to the parent. This is repeated for five generations, when a cross is made with another branch of the now very large family. The six years, twelve generations, produces a true breed, a literal thoroughbred. six-yea- Love Curls Women love curls. Theyve always loved them. Years ago, a woman got kinks in her hair by putting a slate pencil in the kitchen range and twisting her tresses around it.
