Show THE UINTAH BASIN FARMER Just last week he had borrowed her JUST A BREATH OF ADVENTURE By NELLE EBERHART book on opera stories. "Awful rot, I call them, Jacynth, but Pd read Sanscrit for you If I could learn It." Jacynth felt that the merest breath would point the wavering vane of her love toward either man. Yet sometimes, though her heart and her reason refused to choose, her instinct sensed a vague difference between them. She wondered if Jims engaging gaiety played over a rock or a sandbank. She bad a wise little head ; she felt that her heart would Anally go to the man she respected most. Unexpectedly, the breath, the faintest zephyr of circumstance blew out of the quiet sunset sky. As they came to an cemetery, grassy and shaded, Edith exclaimed : Do lets stop and go In awhile It seems so cool and restful. Looks old. too. Over in England last summer, I read some of the quaintest epitaphs; perhaps some of these will be as interesting. There was a listless agreement from her companions. Edith led the way, studying curiously the lines. Frank and Jim kept persistently near Jacynth, to her annoyance, for the one jested endlessly while the other sulked. Neither exhibited Interest in the mossy records about them. Finally, as they were returning toward the road, Rosselle paused beside a leaning headstone, indicating It with a neat, canvas toe.

He remembered his friends, too. Oh yes. Windy was not one to forget his friends. He did not like them for presents they might bring him. In fact that made no difference. If they brought him presents h was delighced but he did not think they should bring him presents because they had before. He was not on the lookout for what he was going to receive. A member of the monkey family enjoys his food and enjoys presents but they are not a greedy family. So when a great triend of Windys went to see him not long ago and had not brought so much as one banana as a present to him he did not think it was strange at all.
