She nodded, and hand In hand they slipped out Into the garden, where the rlrh smell of earth min gled with tho distant fragrance of lespedeza that to Emily would mean Carrollton as long as she lived. David stopped suddenly, with hl handa upon her shoulders, and turned her until she fared htm In the darkness. "You're going hark tomorrow," he sairl. She bent her head, too unhappy to apeak. His grip tightened. "Mind being a farmer's wife, Emily?" Ills voire Tas husky. CUE and Judith left next morning, J followed by laughter and bear hugs and farewell admonitions. The Irish settor, who tclt now that Emily was hor prlvnto property, wanted to climb In tho car and sit In her lap, and Starlight whinnied excitedly and tried to pull up the post to which she was bitched. Mrs. Carroll, who was wearing a dress as a concession to the occasion, kissed her warmly. "People always havo to pay us a second visit to prove that the first hnsn't incnpacltntcd them." To Judith she said, "We're going to miss you, houcy, like a front tooth. Ho sweet, llko Emily hero, and then you won't need to be so care ful."

"You can't Imagine what a tribute this Is." he wrote the first time. "Somehow tho family cnaghl me at It, and tho discovery almost caused 'a panic.

P) A per fectly timed football tackle that would have warmed the heart of any big-time coach was credited today with having cheated death of a cer tain victim on the treacheroua Sen tinel peak In Chelan (Washington) national forest. Denlaon H. Lawrence of Portland, the fortunate victim of the tackier, told the story as he was treated for painful injuries. The hero of the episode was Dan O'Brien of Portland, who, with Law rence' and Dr. W. Ronald Praser of Portland, scaled Sentinel peak last Saturday. They were descending the peak when Lawrence, knocked unconscious by a fall after turning hla ankle, slid 100 feet down the steep moun tainside over rocks and ice. As he was about to tumble over a 50-foot ledge, O'Brien, at the risk of his own life, hurled himself through space to seize the victim of the fall. Lawrence, son of Ellis P. Lawrence, dean of the school of fine arts at University of Oregon, suffered broken heel, broken nose, six rib fractures and many facial lacerations. Dr. Prazer rendered first aid. Five days of agony followed for the Injury ta man during the long trip to civ llizatjon from the Isolated area.

Strmige ns It seems, the first sub marine warfare dates back to the beginning of United States history. when a crude yet Ingenious one man submarine nttacked n Brlt'.sh frigate lying at anchor in New York harbor. The submarine, designed and bull! by David Bushnell, was hand ope rated. For a quick dive, water could be admitted into the bottnm of the boat, later to bo pumped out by hand when the craft was ready to rise. The torpedo was tied on the out side; with It was a screw arinuge- mcnt so that the operator could attach It to an enemy ship. On Its first attack, this submarine, called the "American Turtle," was actually brought up under tho hull ot the British worship "Eflgle" in New York harbor but the copper sheath ing oil the bottom of tho ship was too heavy for the screw to penetrate. Unsuccessful thus far, tho operator cut his torpedo free and propelled his submarine to safety. The torpedo floated to the surface where men aboard a captured British prize schooner saw It and hauled it aboard. The torpedo then exploded, killing three of the crew, blew up the ship and set It afire. The word "lumber" Ig traced baca to the name "Lombard" In Horthc Italy. The Lombards wer notad for iheir money lending, and in ng land the word came to meos litoney lender or pawnbroker. 9y a tendon, it was also applied to thlnp pawns, later to furniture and other thlns held by a pawnbroker, and finally to anything that Is stor or piled up such as lumber in the senw wt know.
