tnan dislikes Eddie, and one afternoon
when Eddie is calling on Marian, Free
man comes in and Insults Eddie. M-irt-an

more swing to her. Arno tries to make
Eddie return to the city, but Eddie re
fuses and goes back to the farm. Free

fight ensues In which Freeman is

before you get home. Maybe you
ought to have some kind of stim

Freeman aald. "I'll try a shot of.
your, father's corn liquor."
"A small shot," she agreed,
and brought it to him. They all
-went out on the front veranda
and Eat In wicker furniture while
Freeman finished his drink.
"Yes. sir, it wa3 one doggone
hot fight while it lasted." Free
man said reminiscently, as he sat
down his glass. "I reckon I'm not
th" man I used to be or I would
n't hare passed out so sudden.
But I don't want to take any
credit away from you Regan. You
are a hard-fisted scrapper 'and
you got plenty of nerve. Even if
I hated you which I don't I'd
have to give you that much cred
it." "You had me licked up to the
very last second," Eddie said, gen
erously. "You are both idiots." Marian
declared, but somehow there was
to sting In her words. She could
call them idiots and make it sound
like a compliment.
They were surprised when the
headlights of an autmoobile turn-o-'
i-t'j the drlvv.-ny. Marian's
father, unexpectedly, Had come
home. A friend had driven him
over from the station. Marian's
mother had not returned, but
would be back the next day.
Marian ran down to the car to
meet him; Freeman followed her
and picked up Mr. Thorndike's

and discolored face.

Somehow the atmosphere be
came noticeably awkward. Free
man was going. The fight and
the return of Marian's father had
spoiled Eddie's evening and he,
too. was ready to go.
Surely Marian would realize
that he deserved another evening
shortly in compensation.
"I think I'll go along too,"
Eddie said.
Marian made no hollow protest.
"Well, I'm glad you dropped
In. anyway."
Mr. Thorndike excused himself
and passed into the house. Eddie

an inward excitement.
"What was the matter with
those two young fellows?" Mr.
Thorndike asked, returning to
the veranda from the house.
"Ob, Just some of their foolish,
ness." Marian said.
"You might as well tell me the
trnth." he said. As he passed
behind her going to a chair, a
hand softly caressed her hair.
"They had a fight," she con
fessed in a burst of frankness.
"I didn't know It was going to
happen there was nothing I
could do to stop them. But it
didn't happen here, thank Heav

"Mr. Regan."
"That's surprising. I shouldn't
have thought he would give Tom
any trouble at all. What did
they fight about?"
Marian's color deepened.
"They didn't tell me," she said.
"From what I got out of it they
met at Locust Grove and got into
an argument. Tom was knocked
nnconcious and Eddie Mr. Re
gan brought him here to the
house. We. carried Tom upstairs
and put Ice on him and held am

Thorndike said. incredulously.
"You say Mr. Regan knocked Tom
out why. they "didn't seem to be
at all angry with each other. They
even went away together like
friends."
"I think they both realized
what Itiots they were." Marian
explained. "Anyway, they shook
hands and made up. I don't
think there will be any more trou
ble between them."
She waited for her father to
express satisfaction, but he was
coldly silent.
"It was a dreadful thing to hap
pen, I know" Marion went on with
a lowered Voice. "You'll never
know what I went through while
Tom was unconscious on the bed
upstairs. I was afraid he might
never wake up."
"What were they fighting
about. Marian?"
"They didn't say. father."
"It's no use trying to deceive
me. child. They fought over you,
didn't they?"
Marian's voice sank. "I sup
pose so."
Mr. 'Thorndike compressed his
lips and Bhook his head.
"I knew we were breeding
trouble when you let that Regan
fellow come to this house. Tom
Freeman is all right there's
good blood there and he is a suit

love Tom and want to marry him
I wouldn't have a single objection
In the world. We've known him
all of his life, and, whatever his
failings, he's a gentleman. But

he is all wrong."
"The fact that Paradine took
up with him proves it for me.
Who Is he? He's a foreigner and
the commonest kind of a man.
Doubtless he is a rogue, too. Mar
ian, we can't have him coming
here any more."
"I don't think you're quite fair,
father." said her plaintive voice.
"You don't know him at all."
"That's Just it we dan't know

lot of exercise. You come back with tanned

ercising a lot in the open air be sure to keep;

into the open every day.
There is quite a fad now for having a tanned
skin. There are so many fads that dont appeal
to me, I am actually happy when one which I
can endorse comes along. In my opinion, the
stimulation the skin has received from the in
creased circulation of the blood, is a good thing.
That is what the sun does for you.
When you see a person with a milk and water

SEATTLE. Aug. 20 (AP)
Chester Minear. 30, was near
death here tonight, and John Min
ear and Warren Hall, 18, were se
verely injured as a result of a 600
foot fall in an airplane near the
i city limits.
Witnesses said the biplane be
gan to wobble and then spun to
the ground, smashing heavily
into the muck and water of the
lowlands. A freight train crew
on a switch rushed to the scene
and took the victims from the
wreckage, while other witnesses
summoned ambulanees.
The Minears are cousins and
Hall is a close friend. John Min
ear, pilot, had received bis pilot's
license only last week and has 25
hours in the air, his parents said.
Chester was suffering from a
skull fracture and possible broken
back, John received a broken leg
and body injuries and Hall a brok
en leg and badly mutilated face.

(AP) Whether Lieutenant Al

Failure of the flyer to get his

on little silver knobs. When the
knobs were lifted off the tiny
openings in the flute's sides, the
notes rushed forth. Each note
had its own special opening and
emerged loudly or faintly accord

blew.
Not being accustomed to notic

Knarf, followed by MiJ, Flor, and
Yam, sprang upon the flute. They
took care not to trip over the fin

openings, looking for the notes.
They could see none, for the notes
sped past so swiftly that they

"I'll go down and get one,"
Knarf said, letting himself into
one of the openings.
"Don't!" Hanid called up.

Knarf didn't heed her. He let
