You can get them in as large a size as you want --I'm sure you—" Ann interrupted her with a ges- ture, which included the silk and to her in the will of her brother, re- the dresses in the ironic.

Arriving at the nearest town, she learns that the ranch, "Dead Lantern," is 85 miles across the desert. Charley Thane, old rancher and rural mail carrier, agrees to take them to "Dead Lantern" gate, which was 5 miles from the ranch house. As they wearily walked past a huge over- shadowing boulder in a gulch in coming to the ranch house, a voice whispered "Go ' bast, Go back!" At the ranch house they ere greeted suspiciously by the gaunt rancher partner, Snavely, and Indian Ann, a herculean woman of mixed negro and Indian blood. Snavely is diffi- cult to understand but regardless. Ruth takes up the task of trying to adjust( their three lives to the ranch and its development, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY stoma As soon as supper was over the girl asked Ann if she might help with the dishes. The black Indian eyes flashed to where Snavely stood in the doorway before their owner replied that "dishes is my work." But Ruth wculd not be put off; she was determined to make Ann her friend, or at any rate to get a little behind that protective shell with which the giantess had cover- ed her real self. At times it seemed to Ruth that the real Ann might be more like a wistful little girl than anything else — if she could be found. Bo half an hour later Ruth enter- ed the kitchen and asked Ann to conte to the adobe as soon as she could and help with the unpacking, Snavely had gone down to the cor- rals, and. Warren and David were inspecting a newly arrived calf who was wondering aloud on the strange- ness of earth, in a gully not far from the cak tree. Ann sour came to the adobe. Some time later while Ruth was again hanging a dress in the clear et, she heard a low sound, a single guttural word almost a moan. Peeking around the edge of the closet door she sew the giantess crouched before the trunk tray which had been set to one side on the floor. Ann's attitude was almost one sof adoration; one huge hand lay upon her breast, the other was out- stretched over a compartment in the tray. Slowly the outstretched hand was lowered, softly the fingers carne to rest. For a full minute the giantess did not move. The girl watched fascinated. Suddenly Ann seemed to remember that Ruth was somewhere near. The spell was broken and the giantess arose. With- out turning her face in Ruth's di- rection, Ann left the adobe. ical, lovable boy Ruth Grey had el oped with six years before. His old zest for the concocting of dreams which he believed to be plans, re- turned. He thoroughly considered the possibilities of the ranch. Calling Ruth's attention to the low hills of the pasture lands, he observed that they looked very like certain hills in ! Oklahoma where he had seen oil derricks. It might, he thought, be Worth while to have a geologist tome out and look around. And while the geologist was there, it wouldn't hurt to have him prospect for gold and other mineral wealth in the moun- tains —I Arizona was famous for mines, There was perhaps only our use of the twenty -thousand acres up- on which Warren did not speculate —their use as a cattle ranch. In her heart Ruth knew that tilts was the only real value of the land. Just how valuable a ranch it was, or hots valuable a ranch it could be made, she had no indea. She wished she could talk to Old Charlie about it. Kenneth's schemes about the ranch dwindled and for a day he found nothing to interest him. Then sud- denly he discovered the fascination The girl hurried to the tray and looked in the corner compartment. She saw that it contained David's first pair of shoes and his first hood cf ]ace and ribbon. The girl bad almost finished un- packing before Atm returned, She handed Ruth a baking powder can. "I went to get these here," she said gruffly. Ruth opened the can; it contained moth balls. "Oh, that's right, Ann, I forgot about them.

She opened the box, "Here, Ann. wouldn't you like some of these? They're just scraps—T don't knew why I keep then around."

When she looked again, Ann was stroking the silk with lin. gering fingers. The girl watched sil- ently. "That is nice, isn't it?" she asked, coning forward.

The idea apparently was to spread Nazi souvenir propaganda. The seeming result was to cause the German lads to regret that they too were not on the way to Hungary. Nazi souvenirs distributed through the train later were collected by a "mopping up" party and turned ov- er to the gendarmes at the Austral- ian border. A concerted "rush" of 20,000 Scouts of 33 countries and the Bri- tish Empire was the climax of the enthusiastic reception , given B. -P. that peals where he could see the whole world and he was going to write. As she watched him ride away she was a little envious of the bun- dle tied to the back of the saddle. for besides the lunch was a pad of paper, and some of these sheets were going to be very fortunate. As Ruth worked she was more nearly happy than at any time since coming to the ranch. She even hummed a vague little tune while she stirred the clothes in the tub which sat on two stones over a mesquite fire near the back screen door. Washing in this manner did not seem such a hardship now, She was amused when she remembered the electric washer, wringer, dryer she had once owned, and with which she had had no concern except to make sure her laundress understood how it worked. The weather was cooler than us- ual and no wind their, a silver cloud slid under the sun, bringing a wed, come shade. The windmill worked slowly, methodically repeating its squeak and click. 13y noon, the sky was solid with white clouds; little rushing winds came and went suddenly; the songs of the birds included a new note, expectant and gay. All the desert awoke from its long sleep in stup- efying heat and mingled its frag- rant, spicy breath with the little gusts of wind. (Continued next week) as Chief Scout of the World. Fine weather prevailed through- out, and many thousand visitors were at the camp each day; on the first Sunday 100,000. In spite of Hitler's opposition Ger- many was represented by a group of Scouts who were hiking outside of. Germany when the edict was is- sued. They had not heard of the edict "officially." Two great, opening religious ser- vices were held. Following Mass and the Blessing of the flags, Bish- op Shvoy addressed some 10,000 Roe roan Catholic Scouts in Hungarian, French, German and English. At a Protestant service for some 12,000 boys the services and hymns were sung simultaneously in the same four languages. A notable event was a march past the Scouts, themselves in the stands, by nearly 50,000 ''camp neigh- bours"—town officials, business men, artisans, farmers, women in the national holiday dress. The spectacle made a deep impression. "Another splendidly successful dee monstration of the international friendliness of youth," was one •Can- adian Scout leader's summary of the gathering. BY ITS NEWSPAPER This week there occurred an inti, dent, interesting at least to the local press. A business man in a remote city had contemplated purchasing a business in High River. He was in doubt as to the move, and as a pre- cautionary measure decided to sub- scribe to the High River Times and find out what manner of town this might be. For six months it seems, he has .been one of our subscribers, studying news columns and adver- tisements, and probabilities and the class of people here. Apparently he was satisfied with what he read through and between the pages of Tho Times, for he has this week ar- rived in the town to complete the contemplated deal. This is one concrete instance of the unsuspected errands which the home town paper may perform, once it leaves the local office. From time to time new subscribers in distant parts of this country, or ether coun- tries, are added to the mailing list, without any local knowledge of who they may be, or why they are inter- ested in the district. But it may be taken for granted that they have a reason, and their interest may event- ually develop in something of value to the town. As has been repeated to the point of monotony, the weekly newspaper is, in a aense, the show window of the district, and the editor is con - scantly seeking for attractive nia, terial with which to dress his show. window. He reacts to the news of any little achievement or success 0n the part of any citizen, as a father reacts to good news from a member of his family. It is something bright, colorful or valuable for the show window. It reflects credit on the whole High Riven. family. And there is no telling whose eye may be at- tracted. Remember, if there is some modest accomplishment to your cre- dit, or the credit of your neighbor, let your newspaper know about it. It will brighten the show window. --High River Times, Crippled Children's Clinic Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, will be the mecca of Huron County crippled children on Wednesday, September 20th, when the combined 'Seaforth and Goderich Lions Clube will hold their annual crippled chil- dren's clinic. Already a large number of cases of deformed limbs, bad eyesight, ton- sils, and any one of a hundred other child ailments have been reported to crippled children's committees of the two clubs. These cases have all been investigated and the parents infor- med of the clinic. There i lots of time, however, for any parents, who have a child needing' medical examination, to have that child entered among those who will receive attention on Sep- tember 20. Parents are advised to notify Dr. F. 3. Becheley, Seaforth, or H. S. Griff, Goderich. Dr. Ramsay, London, will again be in charge of the clinic. Eyes will be examined by Dr. H.

Probably the dry goods merchant gets it first. He passes it on to the hardware merchant in payment of an account. The hardware merchant pays it in wages to one of his employees. This employee pays it to Isis landlady, who pays a grocery bill with it. The grocer can then pay his butcher. The butcher passes this on to his produce mer- chant, and this produce merchant, buying largely from the farmer, Passes this ten dinars back to the farmer, frost whom it originally came.
