As a usual thing you have your own way with Inc." Tien Burney rose at dawn bathed, made his way silently out,of the king's house and over to the corral, where he found his horses. His ontfit was piled neatly on the ground just out- side the gate, so he extracted from it a clean shirt, a change of linen and socks, a brush and comb, a small mir- ror and shaving outfit, toothbrush and paste. In the shelter of the closely i linen; boarded e<mral he changed his hn , at the watering trough he shaved, bl•nsheil his hair and teeth and, his toilet completed, performed a groom- ing service for his horses, after which he sat on the top rail of the corral and waited for the ranch cook to ring the breakfast bell.

"Good old King Bardin," Mr. Art Graydon murmuredappreciatively 1 and smiled a thin, small smile of inward satisfaction. "So," Ken Burney continued, "if it's all the same to you, Mr. Graydon, I'll be glad to show you what I can do.

Evidently this information did not sit well on the Graydon stomach, and Burney was sufficiently quick-witted to realize this, "I hope you'll not hold n.y delinquency against me, Mr. Gray- don," he begged. "Credit me with having sufficient good taste to slip out of the castle before the family was up and come here for breakfast. I know my place."

MAKING IA HERO Everybody will gather round and cheer when a brave man risks his life at the seaside in order to save a bather in distress or when anyone dis- tinguisheshiniself in a moment of clan- ger. But nobody dreams of cheering when a cat puts up her back and spits at a clog. Essentially, however, scientists say that there is no difference between the two. Both the act of heroism and the spitfire fay of the cat are due to the same cause—a substance called adrenalin; which flows into the blood from the adrenal gland. According to Mrs. Adams, lecturer on biology at Cambridge University, heroes are just people with enlarged adrenal glands. But it is doubtful if a dose of adrenalin, which can now bo made in the laboratory from coal tar, would produce the desired results if it were administered, say, to soldiers before a battle. According to another authority, the adrenals, which are ductless glands situated above the kidneys, mobilize the resources of the body for exertions like struggle or flight when tinder the Infiirence df fear or auger. So if you gave adrenalin to a man who was already afraid, its ef- fect might only be to make trim run away more quickly, The adrenal glands seem to be necessary, to life.
