In the midst of such serenity It was wicked to feel so restless.

Judith admitted grudgingly, resentful eyes upon the light, "but 1 w.. never seen himr' In her heart she blamed Reuix. not only lor her delayed happi ness, but for Gary's present defec tion. But for that man upstairs in the four poster bed she would never have met the thoroughly un pleasant girl who had dragged Gary from her. She would be en- gaged to Gary, not waiting for iary. B'tt even while she told herseli this, she knew infallibly that she would alwayt. be waiting for Gary. Social, gay Gary who, like the but terfly, took the pleasure of the mo ment where he found it Not a light - o' - love loyal at heart, meaning to come back always coming back, when the diverting moment had passed, filled with confidence, ;harm totally un mindful of his wavering. That would be her life waiting for Gary. The waiting would be sweet if he loved her. If Abruptly she stopped her tattoo upon the bench. Cissy's word came drifting back to her. "You're so self-satisfied You never even bother to look over the rim" Was there perhaps a grain of truth in what that girl said? Judith wondered if she had taken life a of it, too much for granted, fol lowed too ilosely the pattern cut by others? She commences her tattoo again She was being silly. What did this Cissy Rogers know of the finer things of Lie? What did she know of anything jazzing and junket ing and revelling In sensation? But although Judith did not realize it. Cissy had cast the first stone of doubt into the pool of her mind. It would lie buried for years. perhaps never come to the surface, but the stone had been cast Ten minutes ticked away, twen ty, thirty Judith felt longing rise within her, like a tide. Somewhere was infinite beauty for everyone a rnritaca waitinff to be claimed. She felt it in the deepest recesses of her being. Why then all this fumbling uncertainty? Tormenting Memory SOMEONE was coming along the path between flowers opening honeysweet hearts to the night ' "Gary?" It was the lank colored boy. Ben. "Mr. Gary on de phome. Miss Judy." She went swiftly between dew kissed sweet alyssum, up the steps and into the lighted hall. "Yes. Gary? she spoke quickly into the telephone. "Judy I n at Olivers place cuced awkward to leave." "Why?" unsteadily. "Hostless party, you know. Cissy asked me to get things going." 1 see. Cissy somewhere In Judith a light went out brie wants you to come over.

Standing six feet, eight and one-half Inches tall, Chief Nam pun topped the scales at 300 pounds, Yet Nnmpuh'a greatest glory lay In his feet. His name means "big foot," and, strange as it seems, his feet measured no less than 174 Inches In length and were six inches wide, according to Professor Brosnnn of the American history department, Uni versity of Idaho. Nam pull's big feet were no Impedi ment. So fast afoot was he thot 80 miles a day was not difficult. Ho us ually traveled on foot; his tribe fol lowing on horseback. A bold and fear less leader, Nampuh occasionally got his big foot In a Jam. Horse stealing, thievery and murder, figured among his crimes. Consequently, white set tlers of Idaho were out to get him. After attacking a number of im migrant trains and killing several white travelers, Nampuh's capture was deemed necessary to the success ful and peaceful growth of the west. Early settlers of Fort Boise posted a reward of $1,000 for anyone who would bring back Nampuh's scalp and feett Nampuh finally was captured and killed by a hlgnwayman named John W. Wheeler. In July. 1868. In 70 years no one has disputed Nampuh's claim to Immortality . . . his big feet. Bell-Klnglng . Since medieval times, bell-rlnglng has been an art and a science re quiring great skill. Societies of change-ringers have existed In Eng land for centuries. When a series of bells Is rung over and over, each time In a different ordor, the term "change-ringing" is applied. The number of possible changes on any given series of bells may be determined by multiplying the number of bells together. Thus, on three bells, only six changes (1x2x3) can be produced. A set of 12 bells ,con be rung In 479.001,600 different changes. Fullest peal ever rung was carried out In 1761 at Leeds, Kent, England, when 14 men, relieving one another, rang 40,320 changes.
