Miss Moss ached for him. He grinned at June, said then to the older woman: This sweet kid has come to live with you for a while, Miss Moss. It wont be long. Just till she comes to live with me. Miss Moss looked at June, and saw in the girls eyes something like a plea for forgiveness; and June said softly: Hes talked so much about you. I know you must be hating me. No, Miss Moss smiled fondly. No, Im dear," she said gently. glad for both of you. Well, Inspector Tope chuckled. now thats all settled, to the satisfaction of the womenfolks, he suggested. How about me? Miss Leaford, do you mind if I ask what happened? You mind telling me? No, she June shook her head. said in a dull tone.

June, come help me, will you? She led the girl toward the kitchen, called over her shoulder: "Inspector Tope, let Clint rest till we come back. I want to hear. But Clint said; I dont want to rest. His tone suddenly was grim. Lets go with them. Inspector, be suggested; and Miss Moss saw them come on her heels. In the little kitchen, while she was busy about the electric stove, Clint sat on the sink and drew June close beside him; and these two told what there was to tell. Id taken June to see a picture, But the picture Clint explained. didnt seem to mean much to us, so we left early, drove back to her house. And parked outside for a little while. We sat there talking awhile, and then she saw that the house was on miliar sometimes, too friendly, offensive. She doesnt say much about Asa, but I think she knows him rather well." Tope reminded her: "Asa went to see her, the morning after Mrs. Lea-fordied. Remember? We met him in the woods, and you saw him down there." I remember, Miss Moss agreed. It didnt seem to me she was glad to see him, that day . . . You know Ive been trying to guess who will inherit the Bowdon fortune, now that s Mr. Bowdon is dead. And Mr. money, when he dies. Mrs. Leaford would have been Mr. Hur-deheir, you know." Inspector Tope stared at her. "You could outjump a kangaroo, Mrs. Tope, he said, in a deep admiration. "Youre three jumps ahead of me. He rose. "Youve given me enough to think about to keep me awake," he said. "And I had as much as I could stand already. Lets go to bed. Continued 9 "Youll see lots more with me, Clint promised. "This is a bum one, really." And he urged: Lets start home. We can drive slowly and be together without so many people round. Unless you want to see the rest of this? June a little reluctantly professed a complete lack of interest in the film; yet she looked back wistfully as they went up the aisle. Upon their arrival, she had not removed her coat till they reached their seats; but now in the lobby she expected some word from him about her new gown. When he said nothing, merely offered to help her into her coat, she protested: You havent noticed my dress. Dont you think its nice? Clint stood back to survey her. Sure, grand!" he dechuckling. clared. He came close to her again. But what you wear doesnt make any difference to me, June. Asa gave it to me! Asa? Clint echoed, frowning faintly. Why?" She slipped her arms Into the sleeves of the coat he held. He told me to wear it to catch a young man!" she confessed, laughing up at him over her shoulder. He knows about you and me. Clint chuckled with pleasure. "It will be my turn to buy pretty things for you soon, he said happily; and her hand tightened on his arm as they went out to the car. They drove slowly, Clint clinging to this hour; and when they came in front of the great sprawling house at last, he stopped and turned off the lights, and said urgently: Lets sit here a few minutes. You dont have to go right in. I must, soon, she urged, yet made no move to leave. They found no great need of words. They were snug in the car, the windows raised against the rain. There was a light in the rear part of the Taine house; and June said, with a ripple of mirth in her tones: "Uncle Justus is still asleep in his chair. If no one wakes him up, he may sleep there all night. Is that his room?" Clint asked, surprised. No, hes in the kitchen." Her tone was mirthful.

We think that some strange thing has happened to us, and that our lot is an unusually hard one. But such thoughts are altogether unworthy. Our fathers found life as hard a battle as we do, and if they had not fought we should not be alive to fight. Every stage of human history is the outworking of the same destiny; and it is in fulfilling ours, and entering well into the struggle for life as arranged for us, that we do our part toward perpetuating the moral life of humanity. We are descendants, and somebody is responsible for us. We are progenitors, and we are responsible for somebody. n ESSENTIAL LIBERTY 'T'liEY that can (ive up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Not till after Asa did, as a matter of fact June and I had been pretty busy, but it must have been quite a while." Miss Moss echoed: Mrs. Taine? You see, Clint explained, Mrs. Taine and Asa were staying with Mrs. Bowdon last night Mrs. Taine said they didnt hear anything till their lights went out and she went to look at the fuses, and saw the fire through the pantry window. She came running over, just about the time we got the old people out; and then Asa came. He and I carried them into the Bowdon house, out of the rain. And Mrs. Taine and June started taking care of them. But June came out again when I did. Were they dressed? Tope asked. Mrs. Taine and Asa?"

Hilton, authority on desert lore, has disclosed that he found the trees after a long fight to overcome superstitious fears of Indians. The sap of the tree of death," or elephant tree, is believed by the Cahuilla Indians to be a deadly poison for doing away with enemies quietly, Mr. Hilton said. They also believe, he said, that in the hands of medicine men it can drive away evil spirits and that, if prepared and used properly, it gives extra keen perception in playing pum and other gambling games. The recently discovered trees are believed to be the farthest north on record. Knowing better than to ask direct questions about the fabled trees, I had to wait until some Indian told me about the whole affair," Mr. Hilton said.
