FOX HUNT
"TXARN you!" shouted Judith,
i ever break my neck It will be
your fault!"
Emily watched them tor a mo
ment In astonishment, but uan
merely grinned. Finally, seeing that
Aubrey was being badly worsted he
caught Judith's mop of flying hair
and pulled hor to her feet.
' "And you were the one," he r
minded her sarcastically, "who was
'wise-cracking about my not having
a good behavior.
Judith panted. "He knows bow I
hate for him to do me that way:
"Well, lay off," Dan said severely,
'or I won't take yon to the movies."
; She turned to him radiantly. "The
movies!"
"Yes. There's a swell picture at
the State, and I thought we'd drive
In to Montgomery to see It. But I'm
hanired if I'll go with any wild
women."
She embraced him ecstatically.
see now why I put up with you." To
no one In particular she cried dra
matically, "I wonder why It Is that
my soul still cries out for the white
llahtsT"
They laughed and followed her
Into the hall, where she was already
pulling on her hat and running to
wards the door. Aubrey gated re
signedly after her.
"Is It any wonder I've lost all my
balr?"
They drove the twenty miles to
Montgomery In less than half an
hour, arriving Just as the last show
started.
"I won't come to any but tbe last
show with Jude," Dan explained as
they entered, "because no matter
what time you come she always
,- wants to stay until they've closed
the theatre."
"Well," she said plaintively, "I like
to get my money's worth."
"You mean Dan's money's worth,"
Aubrey amended drily.
The drive home was leisurely and
silent Judith slept as peacefully as
a child, with her head In Aubrey's
lap, and even Dan said very little,
Emily realised that she too was
sleepy, ,.nd wished she might follow
Judith's example.
Dan Raynor'a intentions might be
strictly dishonorable, but like most
men of his type he was a very com
fortabla peraon.
He evidently sensed her wish, be.
cause he suddenly put an arm around
her and drew her head down to his
shoulder.
"I'm not feeling very conversa
tional," he said. "Go on to sleep so
I won't have to talk to you."
' She gave up the pretense of wake
fulness and relaxed against him.
JUDITH paused at Emily's door to
give advice.
"Better wear wool stockings un
der your boots, and a aweater or two
under your coat. And It your
breeches don't lit too close you could
do with an extra pair of knickers."
Emily laughed. "Ill look like a
teddy-bear."
"You should worry, with your Og
ure. And when the cold grsy dawn
. begina to seep Into your bones you'll
wish you were a teddy-bear!" Her
head disappeared.
The horses had been sent to Dan's
cabin at Pine Level that morning,
and they were to drive over In time
tor supper. Dan had gone on ahead
with his cook and the Master of the
Hounds, as he gravely dubbed the
hard-bitten Individual who was to
run the dogs.
Two weeks ago tonight, Emily
thought as ahe dressed, she had
come to Morton HalL The two weeks
had gone with Incredible swiftness,
and yet she had at the ssme time a
feeling of having been here always,
of having closed and locked a door
upon that other existence.
She had written home frequently
and in detail, taking care to censor
the activities of the countryside for
Frances's benefit, and had had sev
eral letters from Frances and Jot
trey; letters telling of things that
seemed unreal and tar-away.
There bad been no news of Edwin
In their letters: only Dorothy Shane
had remarked In her one brief note
that Edwin seemed to have sunk
back Into the state of Innocuous des
aetude from which Emily had mo
mentarily lifted him the one atate.
ahe added heartlessly, tor which he
was really fitted anu ... .. ae
could be really content.
, The remark bad hurt, as Dorothy
had Intended that It should for
Dorothy believed in surgical meth
ods but Emily had been forced to
admit that It carried a great deal of
truth.
Aubrey tapped at her door.
"Ready?"
"Coming." She pulled on a felt
hat, caught up her gloves and went
with him down the stain.
Judith was already In the car,
reclining on tbe back seat with her
feet elevated to the blanket rod.
"We're too bundled up to sit three
In front You all sit up there and let
me take my ease while I can."
Emily said reproachfully, "You're
such liars I don't know what to be
lieve. One minute you say this Is a
pink tea, and the next you talk about
resting while you can."
Aubrey started the car and smiled
down at her. "She's baiting you.
Turn around and tell her to go to
hell."
The night was crisp and clear and
dark, but there would be a moon
about eight, which would make rid
ing easier and safer. They reached
Dan's cabin soon after seven and
found several people already there
some of whom Emily bad met, one
or two of whom were well on the
way to being drunk. Dan, with his
arm about her waist, shouted at the
noisy gathering.
"Here's a new recruit, ladles and
gentlemen: Emily Barnes. It you
haven't met her before that's your
hard luck. You san step up and tell
her your own names; I can't remem
ber 'em."
THEY greeted her warmly, and
the drunkest of the men tried to
kiss her. Dan put the palm of his
hand Into tbe man's face and pushed.
"You'd make me out a liar, would
you, when I'd Just Introduced you as
a gentleman?"
Judith and Aubrey had been ab
sorbed into the crowd and Dan led
Emily ti a chair near them and
brought her a cocktail.
"Those are in your honor," he ex
plained. "Tbe rest of this outfit take
it straight, from a tin dipper."
She accepted the drink, thinking,
as she had thought so often during
the past two weeks, of Edwin's hor
ror at the mere mention ot such a
scene.
Judith saw the mirth In her eyes.
"What's the Joke?"
"I was thinking ot Edwin," she
confessed, "and what he would say!
to all this." . . I
Judith grinned. "He'd probably
have a severe stroke." She called i
across the room to Dan. "When do
we eat?"
"Right now." He flung open a door
Into the other room of the cabin.
"Women and children first, and keep
your heads. There are no place cards,
so you can sit wherever there's a
vacant space."
The dining-room waa furnished
with a long, rough pine table and
benches made ot single wide pine
boards. A kerosene lamp suspended
by wires from the celling gave out
black smoke, an acrid odor, and a
dim, disheartened light.
At each end ot the table stood a
negro, holding a great bowl of steam
ing Brunswick stew.
Having seen thst his guests were
seated. Dsn crowded In beside
Emily, thereby displacing the intox
icated gentleman who had tried to
kiss her.
"You'll starve to death unless I'm
here to grab (hlngs as they go by,"
he explained. "At least that's my
excuse."
She watched him pile up her plate
from tbe steaming bowl. "Walt
mlnutel What do you think I am?"
He frowned paternally. "Eat every
bit of It, or you don't get to go fox
hunting."
She laughed and ate-a mouthful
of the Brunswick stew. "It's per
fectlv h-avenly! What on earth li
la It?"
"Birds." he said briefly. "And God
knows what else. It's Ambrose's
recipe, and Just try and get him to
tell you how he makes it. I'm scared
to death he'll get killed before I've
wheedled It out of him."
Conversation moved about the
table as swiftly and erratically as a
rubber ball. Warmed and stimulated
by the cocktail Emily ate the entire
plate ot stew, as well as three bis
cuits ss large as saucers, and drank
two cups of coffee. Dsn smiled down
at her.
"Had enough?"
She groaned. "I'm all out of
shape."
He patted her hand. "Take a nan
after a while, and then you'll be
ready to lick wildcats."

LIFE WAS TOUGH
FOR EARLY MAN
PEIPINO, China, Oct. 16. (AP)
A wealth of new fossil remains
which shed additional lights on the
hablta of te prehistoric "Peking
man" haa been uncovered In exca
vations at Choukoutlen cave near
here. Dr. Frans Pefdenrelch, former
visiting professor of the University
of Chicago, announced today.
Dr. Peldenrelch aald the remains
of 24 Individuals of this primitive
human type are skulls for the most
part, leading to the belief the "Pe
king man" was a head hunter and
cannibal who preyed on others of
his kind.
The studies show, researchers de
clare, that the Slnamthropus, the
earliest true man yet discovered,
was related to the modern Mon
golian, the Eskimo, and possibly the
American Indian.
In the aame cave scientists un
covered bones of extinct types of
tigers, bears, hyenas, mastodons,
and rhlnocerl, indicating life was
no bed of rosea for China's earliest
settlers.

f lf?ST ANO ONE Of "THE Most
WfoOTftNT 0rtfn.ES OF WE CIVIL WAR.
.t s- yi ia,u -it . r m iwd
The bombardment of Fort Sumter
was, in its Its way, the most Im
portant battle of the Civil War. It
came when there wns still hope that
actual fighting could be averted be
tween the states. But when the first
shell broke over Sumter, where Ma
jor Robert Anderson and a garrison
of 128 vainly defended their post, i
war had begun. There was no longer
hope for peace and both South and
North came to the abrupt realization
that war was not now a possibility,
but a fact.
The next day, April 13. 1861, Presi
dent Lincoln called for 75.000 volun
teers. Little more than two weeks
later another 83.000 were called. In
the meantime, operations were start
ed, ports were ordered blockaded. In
late July came the first battle of Bull.
Run, and with It the promise that a
lon and bloody war was at hand.
Port Sumter was no sham battle.
Twenty-five hundred shells hit in
side the fort, almost demolishing the
stronghold. Yet, strange as It seems,
this battle which started the war
which cost more American lives than
any other, was fought without blood-

shed. No one was kiilea on either
side, no one was even wounded.
Among the many legends of India
Is one that tells that a cobra spread
its hood to shield the sleeping
Buddha. Hndus, whu called the snake
"the black snake." look upon It as
sacred. They refuse to kill it. The
snake, protected by superstition, is
free to wander and kill at will. About
23,000 people are killed every year in
India, and an untold amount of
property damage is suffered by Its at
tacks on live stock.
