received a small weekly devoted to
Arizona cattle raisers.

these weekly meetings was the hour

her that Will Thane was the first
civilized person she had seen since
leaving the East. It seemed years'

the ship's staff, noticed the bag as it
dropped to the water. It flashed off
in the river current. In a trice he
communicated with a nearby tugboat

chased the purse, overtaken it and
"rescued" it, just as it appeared to be

Scouting Heads off Delinquency 1
Addressing the Windsor Board of
Education regarding a -wave of juve-
nile delinquency, credited in part to
radio crime stories, Inspector J. E.
Benson suggested that Boy Scouts
be intensively organized in the
schools. The records of the Windsor
Juvenile Court showed that enly one
Scout had ever been before it, he
declared, and this boy was drawn in-
to trouble indirectly.

Marble Yields Brandy
Railway auction sales of unclaim-
ed- articles have always proved a
groat attraction for numerous people
and many surprises have been `sprung.
Recently at an auction sale in New
York of unclaimed articles a three,
foot bloek sof imitation marble was
put up for bidding. Nobody, evi-
dently, wanted a three-foot block of
imitation marble so back it went into
the storeroom. It arrived abut a
year ago from Spain and had lain
around in the storeroom from that
time. Since the block was taking up
too much space, and evidently it was
impossible to sell it, orders were giv-
en to break it up and dispose of it.
With the first blow of a sledge ham-
mer the block split wide open and in
the centre were found 24 bottles of
fine brandy.
INLAND SEA WHICH SANK
The gypsum deposits of New
Brunswick, among the purest in the
world, are believed to have resulted
from the sinking of an ' inland sea
which once existed in and surround-
ing the Bay, of Fundy. This sea
probably had a very narrow outlet
to what is now the Atlantic Ocean.
The subsidence was slew and led in
certain parts to the evaporation of
sea water which in turn caused the
formation of deposits of gypsum and
salt over a larger area. The climate
then seems to have changed and mud
and detritus were carried into the
region by rivers. Fish died and be-
came buried in the mud that now
forms the shale which characterises
the gypsum areas, where perfectly
formed fossilized fish are commonly
found today.
"Any mail for the Dead Lan-
tern?" she asked Old Charley in a
casual tone.
"Nothing but the papers. But I
got all the stuff you wanted" He
smiled, beginning to take packages
from the machine. One of these, a
roundish box of cardboard, he gave
to David. After ono lock inside,
David carried the box 'reverently to
a rock some distance away. There
he seated himself, wrapped in a
rosy nhnbus of bliss, the hat cov.,

Ruth hesitated. "Thank you,"
she smiled, "perhaps it would be best

'Ruth progressed 'rapidly in her ed-

questions to the brisk formation of
plans. The talk often turned upon
the building up ef herds and ranch
improvements. Old Charley seemed
to know by instinct just what Ruth
wanted to learn most. She learned
that it is often possible to do much
without capital; that one may even
increase the quality and number of
one's cattle without spending huge
sums er becoming too artistic with a
branching iron. Old Charley praised
the "fine feed among the foothills
there" with a gesture which included
the whole Dead Lantern ranch.
These talks with the old man
gave the girl new courage; she un-
derstood something of what she had
to do; she saw her problem clearly,
Old Charley bad given her weapons
with which to fight her battle; she
was no longer quite so helpless.
