Chapter 43
Judge's Sacrifice
BUT It u two day later btort
Georg cam back, with Judg tn
tha seat besld him. dusty and
circled but still determined to fo
away again tha moment b got th
chance.
"The police had called to say they
thought It wai he they were holding
at Philadelphia." George telephoned
from th Tillage. "But I didn't want
to aay anything till I mad lure."
The little boy stood, defiant and
pale and dirty. In the circle of anxious
grown peopl in Eva'a living room.
"Not goln' to itay, you can't make
me!" : laid to them, ready to cry.
Eve knelt and threw her arms around
him.
"Oh, you darling foolish baby, why
didn't you ask before you went off?
If you'd listened a minute longer
you'd have heard me tall Oenny 1
wouldn't marry him, no matter wnat
happened to you," rha said, careless
of the listeners.
" Twasn't thatl" Judge said and
shut bis lips tight again.
"Well then, what th nation was
It?" asked Unci Henry impatiently.
"Oliver, you ought to be paddled, big
as you are, and I'll do It If you don't
stop acting up like a fool. I thought
you were as sensible a boy as aver I
saw.
Judge looked round at the circle of
eyes and desperately gave in.
"So you see yju ran off all for
nothing."
Judge, tired and shaken, flung him
self on Uncle Henry and began to cry
frankly. "He did like Eve. he did!"
h wailed. "Everyon said so. Mattie
and Adriano and all and Eve liked
him. And now you've all changed
round. I hate it, It's all mixed up"
He went on sobbing till Uncle Henry
put an end to the scene by picking the
child up and carrying him to his own
room.
"What you need's a bath, and sup
per in bed, son,'" he said sensibly.
Th three left behind stood silent a
moment
"I have to be getting back to the
Inn now," George said uneasily.
"I'll drive you," Ellen said. She
held out her hand. In Its bright-colored
pique gauntlet, to Eve. It was.
Icy cold. "See you later. Eve dear."
jhj added with Just her usual smile.
Eva watched Ellen's flying scarlet
silk cape and gay scarlet heels going
down the porch steps beside George's
dusty golf clothes. Nobody was going
to say anything. It had passed. Life
would go on. . . .
To Bide For A VThlle
EVE stood watching till they were
out of sight. She could hear the
little boy sobbing on upstairs and
Uncle Henry's voice quieting him
And there seemed nothing anywhere,
any more. . . . Nothing but th ever
lasting ringing the telephone. She
answered it, Mrs. Minturn over the
Ridge; a loaf of bread, two dozen
Some of the desolate, numb misery slipped away from Eve.
" Twas on account of Georg then,
If you must know!" h said angrily.
"I wouldn't mind about Denny, he's
not so hot But he did say any man

"Eve put a desperate hand over his
mouth, remembering too late that he
had been away th whole week Ellen
and George had been engaged, and
In th confusion of th fir must hav
heard nothing of it
"Wa don't want to," ah began.
Judge said doggedly, pushing down
her hand, "I heard you by th wind
break, the night of tha Ore. You said
you couldn't but you wanted to.
You said," ha blushed and evaded,
with a small boy's self-consciousness,
any mention of love "that you did,

A V.M Boy Saba
EVE dared not look at George,
standing with his hand on the
door lintel, nor at Ellen, very stlU
beside Uncle Henry. She took a long
breath Ellen was her friend, Ellen
had stood by her when no one ls
had
"Judge, little boys Ilk you cant

You made a dreadful mlstak. It is
Ellen George wants to marry. Don't
you see how slHy you ware?"
"Georgel"
Judge's cry made Eva In spit of
herself turn to where Georg stood
with a stony fact, his knuckles white
where he gripped the lintel.
"I'm going to marry Ellen, Oliver,
he told the child, even smiling a little.

house burnt right down to the ground
and was It true that George Clove
land's experiments were ail burned
up too? , . . She answered clvlly. sne
took the order and gave the Informa
tion. This was what her life would
be from now on, foravermore.
1 Finally she could go from the houti'
and the- sound of the child's crying.
She could hide for a while. She ran
down . the hall, her light skirts flying
behind her, she fled out and between
the tall rosebushes, the thick border
of tail late sweet peas, to the rough
stone steps that would give her the
blessed shelter of her orchard.
Tha narrow path among the gnarled
trees received her like arms around
her. The heavy scent of sun on ripen
ing apples was In her face. Some
thing of the desolate numb misery
slipped away as she went blindly on
among the tree trunks. This was the
place which spoke most to her of
George, where she should have been
most miserable; strangely It com
forted her, as she felt the last sun
light on her shoulders and the twigs
underfoot
She dropped beside an old Jrei
whose crotch mada a low wide seal,
and crouched in It her head burled
In her arms, as if It had been a living
friend to whom she could com for
comfort and protection. Far away
sh heard tha sleepy birds; the wind
was aweet across her curls. If she
stayed here for a while perhaps she
could be steady and go on.
A twig snapped under someone'i
toot She lifted her wet face. .
George.

flreat Pyramid Mystery.
Of all the unexplained mysteries of
the past, the question of how the
Egyptians came to choose the site
for the greatest monument to their
civilization stands among the fore
most. It haa completely baffled the
world's leading authorities on the
subject for years and will probably
continue to mystify tb.elr successors
for centuries to come.
Was the selection of the site due
to sheer coincidence? If so. It was
perhaps the moat amazing coincidence
In all history. Scientists consider the
odds against It having been a matter
of chance too great to consider It as
such.
The tip of the pyramid marks the
almost exact pivotal land balance
point of the earth's entire land sur
face. Lines drawn through It from
east to west and from north to south
would. If extended around the globe,
divide the world Into four sections
of equal land area. The lines would
travel along the greatest land area
over which any similar line could be
drawn.
Old the Egyptians know that they
were selecting the earth's land cen
ter when they chose the Oreat Pyra
mid's site thousands of years ago
when most of the world was cup
posedly unknown to civilized man?
Many authorities are convinced that
they did know. The fact that the
pyramid Is slightly off center only
emphasizes their belief. The exact
5-37" u'N,a' BrdU, lac
plVotal balance point of the earth's
land area lies on a hill adjoining
the pyramid. It Is as near the north
ern brink of the hill as It was pos
sible to construct a foundation for It
Vet on what could these ancient
builders have based their calcula
tions? Were they masters of Borne
science unknown to man today? Old
they have charts of the size and loca
tion of every great land mass on the
earth thousands of years before Co
lumbus opened up the New World?
Was the selection of the site due
to coincidence In spite of the tre
mendous odds against Its having been
chance? The questions seem to defy
solution.

Plant More Trees
ST. PAUL (UP) Prediction that
1937 would set an all -time record
for tree planting on Minnesota farms
was made here by Parker O. And
er&on, extension forester at the Uni
versity of Minnesota farm. Farmers
of Minnesota's pralrlo region have
pooled orders for from 30.000 to 60,
000 windbreak trees per county.
Rivalry Grous
HONOLULU (UP) Rivalry Is still J
on for the biggest plantation in Ha- I
wall or even the mainland itself. The )
purchase by the Kohala Sugar com
pany of the Nlulill mill and plants- 1
tlon properties for more than $1,000,- j
000 gives It a plantation of 12.000 i
acres that ranks as the second larg-'
et in the Islands.
