"And how long will on he away?'
Anne asked.
"About three months."
That means you'll return early In
August?"
"Yes." He was silent a moment
then he turned to Anne and looked
at her anxiously, "You'll be careful
while I'm away?"
"Careful?" aha repeated and
laughed. "Goodness, John, you make
me think there are goblins 'bout to
git me.
"There may be," be retorted

that were the moat Important thing

She wanted to ruffle the glinting
strands of his hair, to smooth the
opened collar of his shirt.
."You know you're very precious to
me, Nlkkl," be said as the rock
dropped with a plop.
"I . . . wbyl thank you."
"Going away 1 had to tell you. You
might not be bere when 1 get back.
You're the one I told you about that
day I came back from Crescent City

I saw you. I'll never forget that

feeling pretty good, bad some line

folks were treating me grand.
tagged It to the dance. Just as I al
ways did. because I could never find
a girl to suit me.
-rvujus Lansing and I were
1 standing In the door, when you
came In. You were looking very
serious. I liked that. I waa tired of
giggles. You came on up the stops
you remember that short flight, and
then you smiled at Duke. It waa like
the sun rising.
"Thore you were, everything I'd
dreamed about In one girl. And Duke
knew you. He Introduced us. and
wangled the dance for me, forced
your escort to give It up. I won that
dance and those three encores with
my touchdown that afternoon. I'd
have made a dozen, Nlkkl, If I'd
thought there was such a prize wait,

"After I'd given you back to that
chap wbo brought you. I sailed over
to Duke to ask wbo you were, where
I could meet you. Oh, I remembered
your name all right, I Just hadn't
associated It with the fisheries. But
when Lansing said you were Luke
Farnsworth'a daughter that finished
It"
"But why?"
"Nlkkl. don't you see the differ
ence It made, me a fisherman, and
your father the cannery owner? Ob.
I know this is America and there Is
only democracy and the char
woman's daughter marries the mer
chant prince ... In stories."
Anne looked at blm In growing
wonder. 8be was the girl who gave
Ufa a meaning to blm. And she'd
never suspected it. But badn't she?
Hadn't she known that that peculiar
magnetic attraction be had tor her
couldn't hare existed unless It was
mutual?
"And now?" The words left her
Hps of their own volition.
"Now?" he looked at her. "Now
I'm Just where I was when you
Jumped from the Ahtl that day. I
couldn't believe my eyes when 1 saw
It was you, and that I'd boen prlv
Hexed to hold you In my arms for
that brief moment"
"Then John"

branches back with her hands and
slipped through to a tiny dell, car
peted by short grass and cut through
by a small stream which trickled
along over moss-grown rocks.
Anne sat down and stared before
her In dismay. She, who bad thought
herself cured of all love, had re
peated her mistake In a scant fort'
night Could she depend upon bei
emotions? Perhaps she was merely
fickle at heart, spinning like a mag

attraction.
With characteristic honesty she
faced herself. She had been fascl.

had been satisfied by bis obvious
preference for her when so many

Hor emotional nature, unstirred
by the passing lltrtatlons at school
and abroad, had responded to the
clover touch of the man of the world.
But now she knew the difference.
Nlkkl!" John waa calling. "Nlkkl,
whore are you?"
She heard footsteps on the othor

parted and John stopped through,
trode across the grass and gathered

Nlkkl, forgive my blundering way
of saying things. You didn't under

"But you wore right." Anne didn't
fight against the blissful comfort of
his arms. "1 don't know"

"It means belonging to someone,"

Whciitver tliero is an rcllpF.e of the
sun, the temperature of the affected
area on earth drops slightly due to
the fact that during tho ecllpae the
rays of the aun arc shut off by the
moon. This temperature drop 1
slight, and la hot noticeable to the
average person. The earth la protected
by its layer of atmosphere.
The moon does not havo this pro
tection, and Its surface temperature
Is greatly affected py tho rays of the
sun. Normally the surface tempera
ture of tho moon Ij 250 dpftrees at
the hottest point. During the few
minutes that the sun la cut off in
an eclipse of the moon, however, this
temperature muy drup to 150 degrees
below zero.
In the June 14 eclipse of 1027, Beth
B. Nicholson of Mount Wilson Ob
servatory and others measured a drop
of 345 degrees. When the moon was
exposed to the sun's heat again, the
tempernture began a awlft climb It
increased 345 degrees in less than two
hours. These measurements were made
on a spot on the moon that has
a normal temperature of 160 degrees.
Strange as it seems, water conducts
electricity only when there Is an
Ionizing agent in it such as salt or

but a pinch of salt or a little hydro

allows electricity to pass through it.
Eight consecutive shut-out victories
In their 1934 8-game schedule was
the record of Wheeling High school in
Oregon a school with only 29 boys
enrolled and 17 of . them out for foot
ball. Coach "Buck" Hammer concen
trated on line plays, and every touch
down of the Season was made on run
ning plays. Half their games the
Wheeler team did not even punt dur
ing the games. Under high school
rules, they played 12-mlnuto quarters.
