It column are filled with important message You, Jud, stay out of it! which you should read. There was a retort and an immediate shifting of men. They seemed .at to be taking sides, some back of Art Tilison, a good many others behind himself. What happened then passed actually over his head. He had crouched to meet a blow. At once the space that had been a ring, was a crush of men, drunken curses, the spat of fists upon flesh. In a wave of bodies he was borne on, knocked down, cast over to the edge. Before he could move, the house was plunged into darkness. Someone had pulled the light switch. A match flared at one end of the stage and in its short glow Breck saw a grinning face. The mans voice was lost in the tumult of bellowed shouts, but his mouth framed a word: Fire! Laughing crazily, he dropped the match into a pile of boards and scene canvas, and danced abdut as the flames shot up. Breck lunged to his feet. On the floor below him the mob surged to the exit. One girl stood over at the side, alone, motionless against the wall. In springing toward her, he jerked the ropes that held the stage curtain. It crashed down and about them was piled with boxes of provisions, fire tools, telephone supplies and other equipment ready to be packed to the mountain station. A flivver truck stood outside the door. And beyond that, past the first fifteen miles of sloping desert and red rock hills, rose the granite wall of the High Sienras. Youll ride the cushions today," Cook said, when the meal was finished, but tomorrow youll be forking hard leather. He crossed to a plank chest and unlocked it, asking over one shoulder, Have you a gun? No, Breck answered. I intended to buy one in town this morning. Dont do it. Cook stooped, dug in the chest, then came back with a German Luger. Breck stiffened with recognition. 1918! In a flash of memory he saw that same round, cold bore thrust between his own eyes ; then a vision of Cotter, himself wounded, a struggle, the gun turned, its sharp spat muffled, and only Cotter rising where there had been two.

Since 1924, the National Safety council says, motor vehicle fatalities have increased 172 per cent. In cities over 10,000 population they went up but 30 . per cent. Of course, the council points out, a large part of this increase may be the result of d rural travel. But most traffic authorities believe, however,- that the more favorable city record can be traced to the more effective traffic control measures in municipalities. In 1037, the loss of life to traffic accidents in rural districts and cities under 10,000 population was 27,400. In cities over 10,000, there were 12,100 lulled. While collisions with pedestrians constituted the major fatal accident problem in cities, rur,al districts had their greatest difficulty with collisions between two or more motor vehicles. Rural Traffic Traffic much-increase- - He whirled from it and confronted Art Tilison. for a time the house was again black. His hands found the girl as he stumbled along the wall. Quick! he ordered.

He offered his arm formally. Ill see you home, if you wish. No, thank you again, but Im staying at the hotel, and soare the Tilison brothers. I think you have seen enough of them for one evening. At this moment he could work up a good rage when he thought of Lou- ise Temple. He could easily hate her. Yet he knew that after a while he would remember her eyes, with feet-fore-m- the grin on his distorted face and heard him say, Ill keep this. Might bring good luck sometime. Cook placed the gun on the table without speaking. Breck picked it up, feeling the old familiar balance of the brown grip .in his hand. Ive seen this "before, he said. Cook bent over the gun with fond I suppose so. And I guess eyes. Cotter would want you to have it. So its yours.

Am I hearing you right they set them? I reckon they do, son, Cook laughed. Theyre twenty - five miles from your station.

If they turn off little patches of brush every year well never have, a big area go up all at once. Well Ill be darned!

Now that the Gibson girl is back in fashion the fundamental rules (on high authority) are about the same still the perfect 36, tall, slim waisted and long legged, comments the Kansas City Times.

The women of average or less than average height can find comfort in the fact that they have lots of company. Incidentally, the men seem to be perverse about the whole business. They have a way of falling in love without consulting the fashion dictators or a yard stick. We even know some men who admit that small women excite their protective instincts. They like to beam down from a masculine height of 5 feet 11 inches with a complacent sense of their own strength and stature.
