Heavy fire doors between the room
and the main building, kept the
blaze from spreading, and daaame
was confined to the roof of the
tmall structure.
A. L. Barker, engineer, had left
the boiler room lor a moment to
Inspect another part of the hos

the room tilled with smoke, and
flames breaking through the roof.
On the first floor, w. A. oros

neighborhood, mindful oj the stipu
lation of her uncle's will that she
must not be absent more than one
hour at a time.
Before leaving for Milton Peggy
rummmaged in the drawers of
her uncle's fat-top desk and found
a small, leather-bound memoran
dum book.
On the first blank sheet she drew
some lines, printing at the head of
each column the words, "Date, De
parture, Return." and at the top
-Log of Yew Lodge, M. Prescott,
Owner."
She entered the date. May 17.
1929. then alanced at her wrist
watch.
Julia was brushing out the car
when Peggy appeared, water pitch
er in hand. While Julia filled the
radiator, Peggy looked at her crank
case guage and her tirea, then
climbed In behind the wheel, and
backing the car around, headed
down the lane.
She had gone 500 veards or more
alone the winding lane, when she
put on her brakes sharply as a
closed gate loomed up before her.
Considerable- surprised, she climb-
ed out and opened it. The pate had f
not been closed the night before.
Once again she started and had
covered a like distance when a sec
ond gate stopped her. It took a
moment to unfasten tne rusiy
latch and, neglecting" to shut the
gate, she climbed back Into her
car and $ped on toward Milton.
At the general store, Peggy se
cured such supplies as they had.
but it left Julia's list woefully In
complete. She found the clerk most
obliging, however, and-while filling
her gasoline tank he gave her the
names of shops in Litchfield where
she might telephone her orders and
have supplies sent Dy parcel siuei
via the post, office at Cornwall
Bridge.
"It looks as though I'd have to
become a vegetarian," she commen
ted. "Obadiah Evans might let you
have chickens and duck, provided
he don't turn cranky." the clerk
suggested. "He lives in the farm
house next to the lane where you
turn off the Milton road."
A chicken dinner loomed large
in' Peggy's mind, but there was no
sign of Obadiah Evans at the well
kept and recently painted farm
house somewhat back from the Mil
ton road. Just beyond Mohawk
Lane.
m her creat annoyance the first
gate In the lane, the on with the
rusty catch, was once- more closed,
and this time so securely fastened
with heavy wire that she failed to
unlatch It. She went oacK to ner
n, tn uArrh for her tool kit and a
pair of pliers. She was about to lift
the front seat when, through a gap
in. the trees to her left, she caught
sight of a man In the pasture be
yond. Peggy pressed the button of
her motor horn. The man approach
ed with maddening slowness,
Please hum'." she called, and he
oulckened his footsteps. "I cant
get the gate open."
Instead of. going toward it. the
man came up to her car.
This lane Is privately owned,
he stated brusquely.
It Is owned by me." sne re
sponded, and met his steadfast re-,
gard with an equally steady look.
"I am Miss Prescott."
"Oh!" The ejaculation escaped
unwittingly and again the man and
the girl eyed each other.
The angry sparkle In her eyes
and her heightened color added to
the charming picture that she made.
Standing fully six feet, two inches,
his farm clothes hanging loosen
on his thin frame, the man's tanned
cheeks reddened also.
"Mr. Obadiah Evans?" she In
quired, and her soft voice grew ,
more cordial.
He shook his head.
"Pop," he called over his should- f
: and for the firs! time Peggy' be- ;
came aware that another man was
approaching her car.
"This Is Miss Prescott, Pop."
Obadiah Evans advanced with
rapid strides.
"I am pleased to see you," he said.

the car sped through the gate and

Peggy's utter disregard of the
roughness of the lane and its nu
merous curves drew a remonstrance
from the man clinging on the run
ning board.
"Go easy." he exclaimed.
Chicago (IP) The potential value
of sound and color in motion pictures
was one of the subjects emphasized
at the Clinical Congress of the
American College of Surgeons meet
ing here. More than 3,000 sur
geons assembled for the congress.

can now be put Into permanent
records and widely distributed The
inestimable value of such pictures
has led the surgeons' association
to make an extensive study of the
possibilities offered by the modern
motion picture.
Medical motion pictures oi tne
ordinary type have already begun
co play an important part in edu
cation, according to Dr. Franklin
H. Martin, president of the Col
lege of Surgeons. A department
for creating, supervising productioTSi
of and criticising them was cstab-
lished In 1927 by the college.
Thirteen subjects have been
filmed by this department for loan
to professional organizations. Four
more recently were rushed to com- .
pletion for the Cluneal congress
here. These pictures arc perman-
ent records of perfected, standard
surgical technic. I
While most of the films now-
available are for the profession,
definite plans have been made for
popular medical reels. One has
already been produced. It is In
.tory form with a cast including a
school girl, her1 family and her
physician. An attack of apuendt
clties provides the dramatic ele
.licnt. "Perfection of the motion picture
by addition of sound and color Is
of great interest to an organiza
tion such as the American Col
lege of Surgeons, which Is devoted
to Improving the quality of medical
education and raising the ethical
and technical standards of surg
ery," said Dr. Martin.
"Several interesting color pictures
have been produced by different
Individuals. The first talkie' film
has Just been completed by a Lon
don physician."

FRANCE HOPES
ENGLAND WILL
FAVOR TUNNEL
Paris LP Prance hopes that
when the delegates of five powers
meet in London to reduce naval
armaments, the British Admlrality
may be persuaded that there will be
no danger to England's isolation
from the construction of a vehicular
tunnel under the Channel.
As far as Prance is concerned, Its
law-makers stand ready to vote ap
proval of the undertaking. The mat
ter has been put squarely up to
England, and only the shadow of
the Admirality falls over the scheme
which, France contends, could wipe
out England unemployment prob
lem in a week.
The French parliamentary com
mittee handling the tunnel matter
has been Informed that a British
parliamentary body Is working, pre
paring a report to be ready by the
end of the year, detailing the eco
nomic and financial possibilities of
the giant tube. -
There seems little doubt, accord
ing to information received in Paris
that Parliament will be in favor.
But then the proposition will be
turned over to the Army and Ad
mrialty for study and a report. Only
then will the matter return to Par
liament where a bill will be pre
pared authorizing the building and
financing of the tunnel.
French technicians have pro
gressed very far and have plans
prepared tor the work as It would
proceed from the French shore.
They have made use of the plans
which were adopted when part of
the hole actually was bored twenty
years ago.
The question of building the tun
nel is nothing new. This year it is
127 years old, for it was in 1802 that
Mathieu advanced the idea of a
tunnel to permit horse-drawn stage
coaches to travel from Paris to London.
Husband Repelled by
Varicose Veins
Bob was fast losing every bit of
his love for Mary somehow those
hideously enlarged Varicose Veins
on her legs made him shudder
actually repulsed him. ,
Foolish Mary If only she'd get a

This powerfully penetrating and
antiseptic Oil quickly stops the pain

front wheels caught In a deep rut ;
and slued the sar around: "Shall
I drive?" :
The girl's cheeks flamed red; that
his criticism was Just made it rankle i
the more. The four-wneel oraxes
brought the car to a stop almost on j
top of the second gate. ;
Peeev. her eyes on Jim as he
wrestled with the wired latch, op
ened and closed her handbag with
vicious snap. What was there
about the man to irritate her?
The elder Evans nao met ner

Jim why the very set of his shoul
ders radiated disapproval was he.

her down a peg? A glance at her
wrist watch showed that sne naa
but three minutes to make Yew
Lodge.
Peggy's foot came down on the
accelerator and the car, In second
gear, shot through the opening. At
the same moment her extended
hand released a half dollar.
As Jim caught the tip, the silver
coin struck against the amethyst of
his class ring, worn with Its tell-tale
setting turned palm inward.
