Strange Facts Odd Court Rulings Freaks for Speed Minnows, Whales During recent years, courts of law in various states have held that railroad cars are buildings, asses are cattle, bicycles are animals, dentists are mechanics, death by lynching is an accident and baseball is labor, not a game or sport. Even the Supreme court of the United States ruled in 1931 that the airplane is not a vehicle. Many characters in animated movie cartoons are drawn with only three fingers and a thumb on each hand because the omission is rarely observed and saves considerable time and labor. The chief feature of a recent sports festival in Germany was a chariot rac'e "in which motorcycles took the place of horses. Each quartet of riderless cycles was held upright and apait from one another by crossbars and steered from the chariot by reins attached to their handle bars. The seeds of some flowers, such as certain species of petunias and begonias, sell for 10 or more times their weight in gold. There are approximately 700 submarines in commission in the navies of the world today, ranging in size from the giant French "Surcouf" with a surface displacement of 2,880 tons down to the little Finnish "Saukko" of only 99 tons.

Three miles beyond, she came to the massive pillars of field stone that stood at the entrance to the Castle of the Norns. The name still suited the place as it had done when she was twelve years old, her fancy steeped in ancient lore. Her father had been pleased with the name she had chosen for that odd pile with its curious gray stone turrets and parapets, the like of which had probably never adorned another ranch house in all the world. Uncharitable people in the community had called it "Old Dean's Folly," but Autumn had adored it from her earliest memory. She checked her horse to a walk as she rode up the gravel approach between the tall pines. A light was discernible now in the east tower of the Castle. Her father's study was there, and he himself would probably be seated now in his deep leather chair, lost to his surroundings in the pages of one of his old and beloved books. Except for the subdued glow of the light in the spacious hall tears and laughter of a ghost heard from infinity. Hector did not reply at once. "You knew mother very well, didn't you?" she prompted him. "She couldn't have been more than ten years younger than you." "Millicent Odell" It might have been the wine he had had. Autumn thought, but it seemed to her that for an instant he was quite oblivious of her presence. His narrow, brown face with its myriad fine seams glowed as though he were listening ardently to the music of that name, the name of her mother, twenty years dead. Then he glanced down at the bell once more. "I have fashioned a little conceit about this bell, Autumn. Perhaps you would like to know what it is." "Do tell me. Hector." He smiled boyishly. "It is like the Odell women. Its beauty casts a a over vast distance. Its muspell sic echoes and reechoes into eterhaunts you forever. It nityand has an elfin soul, my dear, and its power is blackest magic." Autumn clasped her hands and laughed with delight, although an incomprehensible tremor stirred within her. "You were meant to be a poet. Hector not a collector of antiques," she said gayly. The doorbell rang and Hector went "I tell you it's me, darling!" quickly to answer it Autumn's luggage had arrived. the house was in darkness.

He tells her that she should not have come home, that things have changed. OSTENSO it i MARTHA OSTENSO Autumn kissed him and laughed. "What difference does it make, you dear rascal! We belong together and we belong here. That ought to be reason enough for anything." "Reason? Reason? There is no reason in anything you do. You're a woman, and the devil himself is in women! But go into the room there and get some light on you so I can see what you look like." Autumn turned from him and skipped toward the doorway that opened into the drawing room. She pushed the button on the wall and the long room became flooded with a pleasant amber radiance. Autumn clasped her hands as she stood still for a moment, her senses possessing the room, making its simple harmonies her own again. Jarvis seated himself before the white marble fireplace, where a pink glow slumbered in the ash. From a tiny, lemon-huesatin settee opposite. Autumn looked at him. His long, bony hands were clasped above his cane, his leonine head jutted forward, and there was in his eyes a naked look of was it fear or mere perplexity? Autumn did not know. A hideous feeling came upon her that this was not her father at all who sat facing her, but some grotesque old changeling with a demon-ridde- n soul. His eyes burned as he searched her face, his massive hands clenching the arms of his chair. A tremor took possession of her so that her shoulders quivered involuntarily. She twined her fingers tightly together and bent forward. "Tell me what is wrong?" she said softly. The old man's body seemed to sag, exhausted, into the depths of his chair. "Your mother's hair bur nished as October," he said absently, then lifted his head slowly. "Nothing is wrong, my child, nothing." The sound of Hannah's footfall on the stairway broke the moment's spell and Autumn got up as the old housekeeper hurried nervously into the room. violet-colore- d d "Hannah!" The woman halted suddenly, her hand clutching at her breast. She eyed Autumn incredulously, then drew her breath in a quick gasp. Autumn hurried toward her and put her arms about the bowed shoulders. "Hannah don't you know me?" The only immediate response was a sob that shook the old, woman's frame as she clung to Autumn. "My baby my baby!" Hannah said at last her voice thin and broken and incredibly old. Autumn drew her close and soothed her with little words of endearment remembered from her childhood. "Hannah, Hannah! Little old Muzzy-wuzzy!- " Jarvis Dean drew himself up pon- derously in his chair. "Come, now!" he thundered. "There'll be time enough for that! Put the kettle on the fire and make us a pot of tea." Hannah drew away and Autumn patted her affectionately on the shoulder. "Yes. Hannah, make us some tea. We'll have days and days to talk. I'm never going to leave home again." The old woman pattered away to the kitchen and Autumn sat down again on the satin settee. "So you are counting on staying here." her father said. "If I have to turn sheep and run with the flock. Da," Autumn laughed. Jarvis Dean's head sank forward on his chest "Were you not well enough off with your aunt then?" he asked her. "I have nothing against Aunt Flo, Da. She has always been lovely to me." "What brings you home, then?" was deep, his breathing labored. "I'm fed up with all that meaningless existence and this is my home." Autumn's voice quivered and broke at the realization of the fantastic heartlessness of the situation. Bewildered and appalled and crushed, she struggled to regain control of her voice. "Do you mean you really don't want me here. Da?" she asked. The old man shifted uneasily in his chair. "Here? What kind of a place is this for a girl like you?" he demanded. Autumn's eyes darted helplessly from one object in the room to another, as though she were seeking refuge from the overwhelming and cruel stupefaction that had come upon her. "Why whatever can you have against my being here I can't Jarvis Dean's voice believe" PAGE SEVEN saying things about the Deans. A change came over him. so swift and brilliant that the horrible thought swept through Autumn that perhaps he had. for the agonizing period just past, been mentally deranged. His head, with its smooth waves of white hair, rose proudly, a half mocking smile played about his stern mouth, but his eyes were wistful as he came toward Autumn with his hands outstretched. She got up quickly and put her arms about him, beating hack the tears that threatened. "Poor old Da!" $he said softly. "I should nev er have come if I " "Enough of that! You are here." He turned from her. "What's keeping you, Hannah?" "I'm coming directly," Hannah replied querulously. The old man shook his head slowly. "She's about done, that one," he muttered. "She's more misery to me than she is help, but there's nothing I can do about it I can't kick the old dunderhead out at her time of life. "The more need you'll have for me about the place, Da," Autumn observed archly. Her father turned on her brusquely. "It'd be a poor creature that couldn't get along better without either of you." he told her. "That'll be enough of that fool talk for this night,"- said old Hannah as she entered the room and came toward them bearing her loaded tray. Autumn laughed and placed a small table before the fireplace as her father sank once more into his chair. - Polite Crime There's nothing like an apology to soothe an injury except possibly this one.

Her slender red smile, red still as she died in fever, red in the undying love of another, slender in hatred of himself, seemed to pierce the brooding east now as he stared at it with vacant eyes. "Fool, fool!" he muttered to himself. "I might have known I might have known!" He turned as Autumn, dressed for the ride, came down the stairs. "Let's go!" she sang out, and stood before him slapping her boots with her quirt. Two horses stood before the door, Jarvis Dean's big black and Hector Cardigan's hunter. In a moment they were in the trail and heading eastward over the way that Autumn had come the night before. They were on their way to visit old Absolom Peek at his camp in the ravine. When they turned at last from the main trail and took a winding path that led toward the a camp. Autumn remembered roundabout and more picturesque way to the place, down through a gully where a tiny creek ran and where the white birch grew in a dense wall up either slope. Landor's Gulch it was called locally, partly of its length marked because one-hathe boundary between the Landor and the Dean acres; partly, too, because it was down there beside the creek among the birches that the body of Geoffrey Landor had been found years ago by one of his own men. The years had dimmed the details of that tragic story, though they had served only to deepen the legendary color that invested it. Years ago, old Hannah had told Autumn that sheep herders had encountered Geoffrey's ghost among the white birches there, of a moonlit night in spring, and had heard his voice calling to his sheep-dog- s when the wind came up from the river. Autumn had aD but forgotten the legend, but its memory smote her now as she drew rein and turned her horse toward the gully. "Come on. Da!" she called. "Let's go down this way."

CHAPTER II Jarvis Dean stood before the great windows in the hall, looking out upon the world where the light of early morning was aflame above the spires of the pines. He moved away once and called up the stairs to assure himself that Autumn was getting ready for the ride she had insisted on taking with him into the sheltered ravine where the lambing was in progress. When she replied, he strode back to the window and looked out upon the softly lighted mosaic of the world that was his. As he stood, weary and haggard from a sleepless night it came to him that it had been better had he sold it last winter when he had had a substantial offer for it. Why had he not sold it? He was getting old. Pride, pride! Pride and vanity. Vanity of possession, of power, of triumph! Yes that had been it triumph! The triumph, as he had thought of his own conscience over a catastrophe of twenty years ago.
