Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH on Drive You By EDWIN BALMER Copyright by Edwin Balmer WNU Service CHAPTER X Continued 17 She lifted her hand with the letter. "Jeb has not, sister, quit his claim on you, Bees handwriting assured. That Is not J. E. Braddon. He does not speak about you much; but he does a lot of listening, when youre mentioned. . . . Hes giving you time to get yourself straightened out. , Suppose she married Cathal OHara? What did it mean that, as she lay in the late afternoon shadow, she so much as played with the fancy? (And now my times with you are spent; theres nothing of you left for me in all the future. Well be in the world, both of us, but I may never again speak to you or see your face.) Agnes stirred, and twisted a little. She wanted to be in the world with Cathal OMara. ! They traveled slowly through Provence, into northern Italy in the au tumn, on to Interlaken below the Jungfrau, and reached Paris, at last, in November; and there they were when the crash came, and the cafes and counting-house- s alike the Cafe de la Paix and the American branch banks on the Place de la Concorde and Boulevard Hausmann became places of panic. To the crowded hotels of the Rue de Rivoli and about the Etoile the cables carried to Americans only messages of catastrophe. Millionaires overnight became penniless, or worse. Little slips of paper told them; All you had is gone; and you owe more." A few words on a cablegram slip less than a score of syllables, sometimes and a man who last week strutted and boasted that he was worth six millions shut himself alone in his suite at the hotel and shot him- the ten-roo- self. What had changed? What curse caused this incredible calamity that spared no one? The Gleneiths, mother and daughter, moved among groups utterly confused. Beatrice had a cable from her husband In Chicago: All right enough with us. Dont worry. She was not dependant, as many about her were, upon monthly remittances from home, or upon renewals of a letter of credit. Bob had provided generously in advance. Some wives, in her situation, were however cashing their letters of credit and cabling the proceeds home. So astonishingly had the situation reversed itself! . Then the second big drop came. It had come much closer to the Gleneiths than merely to people they knew ; but the two of the family in Paris had not yet received a letter written that day. They had only Bobs sec ond cable to his wife: Some temporary losses of course, but nothing serious; no necessity whatever to alter any of your plans. Bees letter arrived the next week: "Quoiations" V Even nature is simple if we happen to look at it in the appropriate manner. Albert Einstein. The higher life is always a hard life.

Father shouldnt have done it. He's been taking losses on his own that would sink anybody else. Why did I let Davis in for this? But I never dreamed he could get in so deep. 1 didn't know that men could lose more money than they ever had. It seems they can.

It is expanding like a gigantic bubble and probably almost doubles its diameter every billion years. Friedman, Slipher, Hubble and the rest of the world famous scientists' have been expounding theories on the expanding universe and gathering data to prove them for sev eral years, but a recent report by Dr M. L. Humason, of Mt. Wilson Ob servatory, gives pretty definite proof that all star systems beyond our Milky Way are rushing outward at tremendous speeds. Doctor Humason has studied the spectra of 1UO extra galactic objects and has found these galaxies to be moving outward at speeds ranging from 100 miles a sec ond to almost 25,000 miles a second. He has further found that the speeds of these vast star systems depend di rectly upon their distance. The galaxies are comparatively near the Milky Way, while those showing the greatest speed are separated from our island universe by 250,000,000 light years. This increase in speed was estimated at about 100 miles a second for each 1,000,000 lighr years of distance. These bare facts only add to the mysteries of the universe. Wnat is happening to it and where these outer galaxies are bound are still questions to be answered.
