Superficially, the natural thing would have seemed to be for her to be attracted to Tom Runyon and not to Ted Gaynor. And yet, just the opposite had happened.

It was mighty hard to be hand icapped by an invalid mother and a blind sister, and then have all the breaks against you, as he had evidently had. He was no weakling, that was S ?,ePeration may have driven him to an act of folly, but it was an act of defiance against material things, for the sake of those he loved, who were depen dent on him. Kay tried to picture herself In those circumstances, with Aunt Kate and Babs hungry. Hungry! She gave an involuntary shudder. He actually had said "hungry"! A man could be forgiven almost any desperate act under those circum itances. "Thank goodness we came along flrst, Flicker," Kay mused aloud! It would have been the end of mm, if Tom Runyon had found him instead of me. I know he'll make good, now that he has a break at last." Dread Discovery ' TOPPING a rise In the range, Kay's eye caught a faint haie over to the east, that spread like a Stay film in the clear September air. "Flicks!" Her voice held a note ef alarm, as she pulled up and gazed intently toward the strange phenomenon. She glanced quickly to right and left to get her bear ings, and a light feeling caught her throat. "It looks like smoke," she hardly Terognized her own voice, "anil it s just about where the house is." As she watched, a thin gray yinte column rose slowly, ending In a brown pulT, as it dispersed. It was followed by another, and yet another, but Kay was no longer watching. Leaning forward In her saddle, he was urging Flicker to his top mo l speed. In a brown streak the dried bunch grass of the range fla.'hcd past, and the rushing air fanned the color Into her cheeks and brought hot smarting tears to her eyes. Impatiently blinking them back, he gazed desperately nhrnd lo the ever spreading cloud of smoke with lis ominous portent. j house, beating out the flying sparks, as they fell on the roof and porch.

I just got back in time to save the Old MHn's desk, and a few things out of ihe living room." He pointed with a smudged blackened finger to a small pile ol furniture that Kay had failed tc notice before. The sight of the desk galvanized her to sudden action and sho ran over to it, pulling Seth with her. , "Thank Heaven, you saved that Seth," she gasped. "AW Dad's rec ords are there, and the insuranct paptrs with them." "Thank God you're Insured!' Seths face, smeared with black and with one bushy evebrow hall singed off, was comic'a' in its re lief.

Eclipsed by post war news In a still panicky world, the. trans-Atlantic flights made dur ing this two-month period brought but a slight stir In comparison with tho lni.ere.it created by Lindbergh's solo flight eight years later. First to mnko a successful trans Atlantic flight was the NC-4, an American navy aenplane, piloted by Lieut. Com. A. C. Read. Taking off from Trepamy, Newfoundland, on May 16, Bead flew to the Azores, re mained there a few doya, then flew to Plymouth, England, via Lisbon, Portugal. The first, non-stop trans-Atlnntlc m . - Tf I Vsw flight was nwde from St. Johns, New foundland, to Cllfden, Ireland, by Capt. John AJcock snd Lieut. A. Whltten Brown, both of the R. A. F. The htke-off was made on June 14 and the flight was completed 16 hours, 12 minutes later. A Vlckers Vlmy bomber was used. On July 3 the British dirigible R-34 left East Fortune, Scotland, on the first llghter-than-slr crossing of thp Atlantic. It arrived at Roosevelt Field, Long bland, New York, on July 6, and returned to Pulham, England, a few days later to complete the round trip trans-Atlantic crossing. O. Henry Most unorthodox was O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) In his meth ods of writing. Many of his stories were originally written for new-spa re ft IkNMffct ts aaula, tat. I -7 - Of pers and he seldom wrote them ear lier than the day before they were scheduled to be published. As he finished a page, he turned It face down on his desk. A messenger from his newspaper frequently fidgeted outside tbe door, welting to rush the story to the prlntshop. . Occasionally, O. Henry paused to read back a few lines of bis manuscripts, but never did he read a story in Its entirety before It was published. Blue Hen State A native son of Delaware. Captain Caldwell was a great lover of cock fighting. His well-drilled Revolu tionary war soldiers were known as the "game cocks." Through his claim that blue hens produced the best cocks, his home atate derived Its nickname of the "Blue Hen State." PARKS CAR'ArlD HEADS FOR MOVIE -fHEA-fRE, UR6IN6 FAMILY foHUUsV L60K4 BACK.
