"You don't believe her, do you?"
Both arms locked round hl neck,
he smiled up at him wistfully.
"Believe that you're marrying me
for my money?" Robert laughed.
"No, I don't! Apart from anything
nlse, I haven't got any of my own,
have I?"
Daphne slid from his arms and
patted down his hair.
She said softly, "It was rather silly

"But It was a near thing. Such a

and they were really cheap!"
ALISON had not gone to her room.
When she slammed the boudoir
door, she ran down the stairs, tug

OF VIKINGS' VISIT
IN 14TH CENTURY
DETROIT LAKES. Minn. (UP)
Belief that a, tribe of ancient Norse
men visited this terirtory In the 14th
century was voiced by P. T. Oustav
aon. Pequot, Minn., nationally known
anthropologist, after a study of sev
eral stones at Cormorant Lake near
here known as the "Norse Anchor
o tones."
After viewing the stones. Oustav-
son declared that the runic Inscrip
tion on the famous Kensington Rune-
stone fits entirely with the Cormor
ant Lake stones.
The Inscription on the Kensing
ton stone reads:
"Eight Qoths and 22 Norwegians on
exploration Journey from Vlneland
Westward. We had camp by two
skerries one day Journey north from
this stone. We fished one day. When
we returned home we found 10 men
red with blood and dead. Ave Maria.
Save from evil! 'Have ten of our par
ty by the sea to look after our ships
In 14 day journey from this Island.
Year 1302.
Gustavson explained that a day's
journey meant at that time the dis
tance traveled by boat along the coast
of Norway, about 80 miles.
'The lake with the 'two skerries'
Is Cormorant Lake," he added, "while
the sea where the ships were left Is
probably Hudson Bay. The party
must have come down the Nelson
River, Lake Winnipeg and the Red
