Tim's story. Tim took ore peci

him to buy, but IriM had an op
portunity to chance the tpeci

Tim bought the land, found it
worthiest. I'm faded out uiilh her
accomplice, Latshaw.
Chapter 10
A Girl Propose!
J INNER was early that evening
' ' lor two reasons: Bun ana urn
ere laint with hunger, e
.eorge Weekes had to return to
. ;oulder Deiore rugnuaii.
"And even though the late la
lented Atkins improved your road
Dmcwhat, I'd like a little light on
nv flying trapeze act," he told
.3ufT.
He happened to be In the hall
vhen the girl came downstairs,
md he gave a low whistle when he
;aw her. For reasons best known
o herself, she had changed into the
me dressy frock she had at the
anch. Its material was chilTon, its
:olor pale green, and its floating
nem almost touched the lioor.
Buff was transformed, Weekes
told himself. He had seen her hith
erto only in her favorite knitted
suits, more often than not almost
obliterated by one of Mrs. Webb's
voluminous kitchen aprons. Also
she had changed the style of her
hairdress tonighV The severely
plain knot was loosened a trine,
allowing silky little waves and ten
drils to escaDe: and to tOD it all,
she had used a knowing bit of
lipstick, and clasped a sparkling
bracelet about a slender wrist.
"Help!" exclaimed the visitor.
Buff extended a satin sandal to
ward the fire.
"Like the getup? It's to cele
brate." "Celebrate?" Tim put the ques
tion from the doorway where he
had halted at the sight of her.
"Celebrate. First the rout-
horse, foot and dragoons of the
Hunts appropriate figure of
speech, don't you think? second,
a good meal which, oh, rapture! I
didn't cook myself. Though per
haps in the interests of accuracy,
I should say I didn't try to cook.
All in all, I thought the occasion
warranted a bit of dressing up."
She smoothed the folds of chiffon
complacently. .
"Gosh, I'd hate to sec you when
you really celebrated, George
told her. "As it is, it's only the
knowledge of my penniless condi
tion that " He halted abrupt
ly, aware of the tightening of
Tim's jaw.
It was a gala meal. Mrs. Webb
apparently labored under the de
lusion that the three would have
no opportunity to eat again for
days, and supplied them with food
accordingly. Buff was equally re
lieved by the departure of the
Hunts and the restoration of the
hniispkeener to har nrnner rintipfl.
George gayly seconded her efforts
at light-hearted badinage. Tim did
his best to share their festive
mood but Buff's eves rested on him
thoughtfully. Just so did her father
jook when lire occasionally seemed
too dimcuit lor mm.
George took his departure with
effusive thanks and admonitions
to his partner to "stay on as long
as mur can put up with you.
"Which will be no longer than
tomorrow, I im said. I hey had re
turned to the fire, Buff curled upon
fat pillow on the floor, Tim oc
cupying the hardest and strnight
est chair the room afforded. "No
use telling George so. All he'd do
would be to argue to quote the
doctors, and so on.
"Well, but but you aren't
really well. Urn And it vou bo be.
fore I find another foreman, that
will leave Mrs. Webb and me
alone here!
He smiled. "May I noint out (a)
that you are a singularly fearless
young person? And that (b) I'm
not much of a protector to anyone
in my present state?
"Aha!" she said triumnhantlv
"You admit then that your present
state isn't normal?"
"I admit nothing. I merely an
nounce that the sooner I act back
to work the better for everybody,
myself included. You've been
heavenly good to me," he con
tinued, "and with no reason on
earth except that it appears to
come natural to you to help lame
dogs over stiles. Will you accept
my most earnest thanks and and
goodby?"
Tell Me About If
"pOODBY tonight?" She rose
VJ lo a kneeling position on her
pillow and looked at him with
tnrtlcd eyes. "Why tonight?"
"I thought it would be easier all
round if 1 left before you were up
tomorrow," he explained. "Mrs.
Webb will give me an early break
fast. George," he went on,
"thought he was being mighty
careful and discreet, but It hap
pens that I know what took him
back in such a hurry tonight. The
poor guy's been doing two men's
worn while 1 loated and moaned
around here."
Buff clasped her small tanned
hands about one knee.
"Tim, you told me that what
Maudie May said was true. George
amplified the outline somewhat.
But there's a lot yet that hasn't
been said on the subject. Don't
you think it would do vou good
to tell me about it? Every single
thing, I mean?"
"What is there to tell?" he asked
drearily. "1 was a fool, and all of
Boulder perhaps most of Denver

SUB-STRATO PLANES
TO START NEXT YEAR
Kansas City. Oct. 17. (AP)
Transcontinental and Western
Air Inc., today announced plnns
for sub-stratospheric travel next
year and ordered five Booing
"stratoliners," the first four mo
tored airliners for a domestic air
line. The new planes, which will
cost about $350,000 each, will
to him. I shall make It up to him,"
he said with quiet firmness.
"Tim." The word came In the
merest whisper. "We're both of us
in in a fix, do you realize that?
How would it be if if we joined
forces?"
He turned a perplexed and
frowning look upon her.
"How do you mean Join
forces?"
"I need someone to take care of.
You need to be taken care of," she
said simply.
"Both your premises are false,
my dear, but even if tiiey were not,
what could we do about it?"
"They're not false!" Stars of
anger shone in her eyes. "I took a
course in psychology it lasted
only four months because Lance
had to go to England or thought
he had to but I had my textbooks
and I kept on studying. I discov
ered that I'm definitely the ma
ternal type." A flush rose in her
cheeks, cither from the heat of the
fire or from embarrassment. Tim
could not decide which. "I'll al
ways need someone to take care
of. And it's simply rot for you to
say that you don't need to be
looked after. You do you will,
for months. You have," she fin
ished proudly, "a scar on your
psyche."
"Great guns!" was his startled
comment. "If that's the sort of
thing you learned in your course,
I'd say you were definitely better
without it. 'Scar on my psyche,'
indeed! It sounds as if I'd bad my
appendix out, or had stopped a
bullet!"
She said coldly and sweetly:
"You're simply betraying how lit
tle you know of psychology! I
shall pay no attention to you any
more than you would to me if 1
came in all excited over finding a
bit of fool's gold in the mountains
and declaring to you it was the
real thing!" Then seeing his ex
pression change, she hurried on:
"What matters the thing that
really counts is that we should,
as I remarked before, join forces."
"Meaning ?" '
"Meaning marriage," she said,
though this time the fire could not
be held responsible for the bright
color in her face.
A Woman's Privilege, Too
"pUFF, you're crazy! I think it's
J you who have what was it?"
a sear on vour Dsvche. Good
gosh! Marry you because I let a
woman fool me! Dump my trou
bles on a child? Ask you to "
"Child! I'm twenty years old,
Tim Corliss!"
"And I, my dear, will be twenty-seven
in November!"
"So what?" Buff demanded.
striving to maintain her usual
composure. She was remembering
several conversatirris with her
friends in which it had been decid
ed that it was as much the woman's
privilege to propose marriage as it
was the man's. She had subscribed
heartily to the theory, but no one
had told her how difficult it would
become in actual practice.
"So you will advertise for an
other foreman or didn't you say
that Dr. Westland rould got you
somebody? and will run along to
Canada or Chicago or wherever
your parents are anxiously await
ing you; and I will hustle to Boul
der and relieve old George. In a
couple of months you will say if
someone should happen to men
tion the unlucky wight who put
you to so much trouble hero 'Let
mo see! What on earth was his
name? Tim Something, I believe.
A perfect nuisance; hut I did my
Boy Scout good deed for months
to come because of him.' "
"You seem to have forgotten the
letter 1 had from Eleanor from
my mother. They they want to
he alone for a few months; per
haps for always. They'd bo glad if
I were were married, or some
thing!" "Make It 'something' then." was
his advice. "Sec here, Bull! I've
never studied psychology but I
seem to know more about its prac
tical application than you do. It's
plain tlitit your father and mother
want you to build up a life of your
own for your sake, not for theirs.
You're an odd sort of girl, did you
know it? Modern to your finger
tips in most things, but a regular
old-fashioned daughter just the
same. The kind that would forego
matrimony and devote herself to
the care of an invalid parent
that sort of tiling.
"But your father and mother are
both perfectly healthy people, so
far as I can make out; amply able
to take care of themselves. So for
get oil this dutv business, turn
over a new leaf, and go in for
something on your own."
"As for instance?"
"Well dancing and er well,
dancing. Parties. New clothes. Isn't
that what interests most girls?"
"None that I know. One of my
friends lives in New York and has
a good position in an advertising
firm. Another is an interior deco
rator "
He interrupted her wildly.
"Whatever you decide on. promise
me you won't interior decornte!
Great Scott, the crimes that are
committed under that head espe
cially by your sex! Seems to ma
their sole object is to make a room
as hideous and uncomfortable as
possible. Take this living room
now "
"What's the matter with It?" she
asked belligerently.
"Nothing. That's what I'm get
ting at. Simple and restful. Noth
ing to he knocked over or off.
Hoom for a man to stretch himself.
Comfortable couch and chairs and
a fireplace. My idea of what a
room should he."
Buff smiled knowingly.

Alcona, Mich., was a booming lumber town in the 1880's when Newton Edwards took oath
as mayor. Then came the big fire Alcona's main mill burned down and everybody moved away
except Edwards. Today he lives there all alone and is still Mr. Mayor, according to R. E. Prescott,
publisher of the Alcona County Herald.
FIRST PIPE LINE
William Murdock gave London Us first coal gas for lighting purposes In 1815 in a unique
manner. As no suitable piping existed, he threaded old musket barrels and screwed them together
in a continuous line.
