WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR
Daphne Haines, seventeen and love
ly, is literally driven from home by
her nagging stepmother, whose sole
Interest Is In her wn daughter. Crys
tal. The second Mrs. Haines is deter
mined that Crystal shall marry Ralph
McKevitt, a handsome young man of
wealth. Ralph, on day admire s Daph
ne, whom he sees at a distance, and
Mrs. Haines decides to permanently
eliminate the younger girl, whose ri
valry she secretly (ears. She provokes
a sordid quarrel In the household, and
Daphne, realising the helplessness of
her position, leaves home to make her
way in San Francisco. The quest for
employment Is difficult. She is almost
starving when she encounters Ralph
McKevitt, her stepsister's "prize" young
man. In a clieap restaurant. He buys
. her a hearty meal and takes her home
in his car. As weeks pan a nice
friendship develops between them.
Ralph secures a good position for the
girl, and when he kisses her in the
moonlight she feels she is in an earth
ly paradise. The motley assortment of
roomers at Daphne's house speculate
"wisely" about her each time young
McKevitt calls In his flashy car, but
she finds two good friends In hard-
boiled Flora McCardle and a love-
starved little dressmaker called "Miss
Viola."

only . Flora McCardle who had
forgotten her key.
"Hello J honey, thanks for open

where are you going?"
Flora ran all her words to
gether as If she were too lazy to
separate them. Her voice was loud
and course, with something nusK

Flora, that layers of hard sophis

In spite of herself Daphne
melted under the spell of Flora's

see herself, walking up me aisie
in her new hat. with Ralph.
'For God's sake, why don't he
take you to dinner first?" Flora
broke In on her thoughts. "He
might do that much. Riding!
. That's cheap amusement. Doesn't
he ever intend to spend more than
the evening? What does he think
a girl spends her time for "
"I love to go riding!" Daphne
cried hotly. "He has a wonderful
car, and I just love to "
Flora laughed. "I suppose so.
I'm an old cat. But I like to see

they've got it. Well, you're young

on Daphne's blue dress, freshly
pressed. Her hat and gloves and
purse. . all ready to go, and
no coat.
"You'll need your coat, the fog's
coming in."
Daphne flushed. "I don't think
I will."
Flora looked down at ber own
coat, summer ermine. "She never
bought that herself." Mrs. Halll
day observed to Mrs. Spellman
whenever they saw It. Her big,
freckled hand patted it thought
fully. She shifted- awkwardly from
one foot to the other.
"She's going to offer me her
coat!" Daphne thought nervously.
"Oh I wish she'd go away I don't
cant It!" !
"You're foolish if you take cold
trying to look beautiful for any
man," Flora was saying. "Girls
do crazy things . . I used to.
There was a gray coat I had .

She got away from Flora final

gone from the night. She picked

that she couldn't sleep.
Toward morning she dropped
into a troubled doze, and dreamed

golf with Ralph in the prune or

She woke with a cold in her

STORIES
By lUx Trell
Not as Smart as he Thinks
"I can tell you anything you
want to know," said Knarf, "any
thing."
Mlj, Flor, .Hanid, and Yam
the other little shadow-children
with tie turned-aSout names
looked up at him.
"How do you know you can?
demanded Hanid.
'Because l m so clever," re
torted Knarf. "I'm the cleverest
shadow In the whole world."
Now this didn't please the oth
ers any too well, for, to tell tha
truth, they thought they were
clever, too. It Isn't agreeable to
think that someone else thinks
himself ever so much .cleverer
than you. They decided at once to
put the boastful shadow-boy to
the test.
"Since you know so much," be
gan Mlj, "tell me why trees grow
up instead of down?" Knarf's
eyes sparkled which, for a sha
dow, was unusual.
"Anyone knows that," he re
plied promptly. "Trees grow up
so that you can climb on them.
How could you climb on them if
they grew down?"
Mij looked puzzled, and so did
Flor and Hanid and Yam. To
tell the truth, they hadn't the
slightest idea how anyone could
climb on trees If they grew down
instead of up. By and by, when
they had gotten over this a little,
Flor turned to Knarf and asked:
"Why have giraffes such long
necks?"
"Because," replied Knarf in a
twinkling, "If they had short
necks they wouldn't look like gi
raffes and what good are giraf
fes if they don't look like giraf
fes?"
This got them more puzsled
still It seemed amazing that thty
hadn't thought of that before.
Really, when they stopped . to
think about It. giraffes weren't
much good unless they did look

The others nodded in agree

too much like tea if one could

her head. "There's one question I

anything that I don't know."
"Very well," said Yam, "this Is
the question: Can you tell me

Knarf was on the point of say

would have been equally bad. He
hesitated in bewilderment.
"Well?" asked Yam slyly. "I
don't bear you saying anything."
"He's stuck, "he's stuck!" cried
the others.
"Humph," grumbled Knarf,
turning on his heel, "I can't be
answering silly questions all day
long, and anyway I'm the clever

all began to laugh.
"You may be the cleverest sha

Melon Season Is Here How to
Slet Good Ones
Some day another Burbank will
lay down the infallible law about
melons and then we shall all go
marketing for them without feel,
ing that melons are just one gam
ble after another. For how can
you tell a good melon?
The old test sticking a specu
lative forefinger into the tip to
see if it yields, means absolutely
nothing. After half a dozen early
shoppers have applied their
thumbs to a melon it acquires a
misleading softness. However
there are a few signs borne by a
good, ripe melon generally, and
these may be of hlp. But no guar
antees! Because sad experience in
dicates that even with these osten
sible marks of quality, the opened
melon is disappointing. But here i
they are for what they're worth.
A cantaloupe, to begin with,
should be very thickly retted. !
When the netting is thin, with'
sparsely covered spots, the melon
mav lack flavor. MpIo
course, merely flavor there's no j
particular nualitv in tha nnln inH I
flavor in melons comes only after
ripening. The best-flavored mel
ons are those'which are permitted
to ripen before being picked. If
picked at the proper time, the stem
slips off easily, and this leaves a
dark scar on the melon. So look
for the dark scar, as another
guide. Also, since a good melon is
juicy, it should be heavy for its
size. If there's a yellow tint under
the netting, that's another good
sign. So is the pleasant aroma sent
McNeil.
The trial of Ellis and Day, co
defendants in the conspiracy esse,
will start tomorrow morning.
"I am the victim of circumstanc
es," Frederickson told a reporter
when sentence had been passed.
"All thin h rrnwn n nf a t4A
and I am 4he victim. But I am ia
nocent of the charge. My enemies
have built up a circumstancial
ease against me that I felt it was
boneless to combat. That's whv I
ehanged my plea."
