CHAPTER. ONE Marls saw her first as site st.ei, ped from Newt Gale's black bug;es and walked into Sioux Spring House, a jaunty, ruffled creature, billowy with flounces, pleats, awl tueks, instantly, he was interest- ' ed, Never in a raw, frontier town had he sten anyone like her, Nor had Newt. who confided to alert; afterward he was almost afraid to sit down hy, "a11 -of them ruffles," driving her over from tile stege line. Mark saw her next that after• noon at the lend office. She was a single splash of wbite. breath• taking, in a sea of somber denims, ducks, and ilomespuns. She was sealed at a long, paper -littered 'Cable talking with bluff Colonel Barrington, laud. office clerk, when Mark entered, The blisines, of homesteading seemed to have stop- ped completely at her appearance. "Of course, o"coarse, there's land, whole sections of it," the co1one.1 'wag v'onions Ira till:;, wiping Isis broad forehead in the heat of that August afternoon. "But you're alone. alone, Miss—Miss Lane. This ain't no country for a woman —alone." He paused awkwardly, having blurted out the whole, nak- ed truth in one sentence. The girl eyed him steadily. Sud- denly, Mark thought, she seemed somehow frailer, out of time and place in the hot, crowded roma. But it site was, it the colonel's blunt warning had shaken hoe, she covered it up quickly. "Colonel," !the said, and leaned for'wurc1 with a smile Mark would never target. "I'm sorry, but this IS the country --for a woman alone." She paused- ever so slightly, giving her words deliberate effect.. Then she went. o11: The Girl In White "As my uncle wrote you, Mother died two years ago, And last year my lather. My health wasn't too good even before that.

Uccle said you would know best about a location, a homestead close to town. I wouldn't need to stay long, only a few months, perhaps, till the estate was settled. And then . . . Silence had falletl over the room like Sunday. Standing in tight little knots, the homesteaders were hang- ing on every word from this strange, petal like girl. She looked about, startled, went hurriedly on, as if sensitively aware of the cur- ious eyes trained on her. The colonel, appreeiatime her glance, brought matters to a head, Pushed a big, open •map across the table toward her, indicated. a home- stead trait with his stubby finger. She leaned over the.

'.'here were no roade. you had to dig for -water, few neighbors- --yet. At length, the clerk handed her a 1(f;- al.looking paper. s1u' signed it and rose to pay her fee. "Is that all, Colonel?" sheask- ed, tucking the paper in her long back puree, adjusting her hat with a deft touch that: secretly thrilled :Stark. "Thank you—so much," she said, and turned to go, while the homeeteadere homesteadershuffled awkwardly to ono side to let her pass. The land office buzzed again and Mark Denel was back in the boom- ing present. But not all of him, Something had gorse out that door with the girl in white. The Boom Starts He knew that the moment be .saw Carrie Lane again that even- ing. He was walking back from supper at Ma Parmley's, his boots rattling the boards ou the make- shift walk, his fiat-c.rn\vne•d felt hat pushed back fl'01) his lean, bronzed tare. He was tat—king to Nemo Gale .about the drive from 1110 siege line.

Newt was saying how 500 •settlers would move into Rock Creek before fall at the rate they were coming. The M iesout'1 was bringing them in by the boat- loads, there was talk of a railroad. "Bring .its some more like that Lane! miss 'and, I'nl a settlin' here permanently," Newt added, wiping the perspiration from his bald head, hitching his belt, He eyed Marl( with a nod. "Tell mo the boost .is just getting started. Hear one fellow is out here selling fake town lots already, advertising with ahewsboys 011 every train out of Chicago what a great country this is out here, Guess he's even selling 'Stn a state capital we ain't got yet." He laughed, ending, "Be a state before no time, Mari(." "That's so," Mark started to an- swer with sudden interest, and cut Himself- short, Down the street, stirring with horses and slouchy figures, a .buggy was drawing up before the. hotel,. A'mau in 'broad - brimmed black hat, cutaway coat:, had leaped clown to assist h woman • from the seat. Mark's Heart quickened, It was the girl in while. He strode along the nucven walk, passing the bug- gy just ,;s she entered the one - storey frame hotel. The Ivan was climbing back into the seat. Mark was able to see his face clearly;. it was heavy, unpleasant'. After- ward, Mark remembered the small, bird -like eyes. He studied the man hard—for an instant, then swung on down the street. i' (. * She was at Ma Parsley's the next morning when he strode in for breakfast. Ma fed hall the town pancakes and sorghum, giving them a little extra lift ou Sundays with white flour biscuits. Newt was at the table when, Mark entered, red-faced, burying himself in. huge, forkfuls, He was sitting' across from Carrie, so dodg- ed the introductions. But .Lia, big, florid, homey, carried them out. "Set right down before it's all gone," she motioned to Mtuk, 'And Mark, this is Carrie Lane. Miss Lane, this is Mark Deuel. Ice's a homesteader or claim jumper or somethin'. Don't know much about hien. Only been here a few days." She winked at Carrie broadly. Newt gulped and grinned. There was no smash of white this morning. Mark .noted. The girl was dressed in a trim gray suit, with roped shoulders• and dainty blouse', and, like the white outfit he had first seep her in, too dainty for frontlet' Sioux Springs. Mitrk noticed, too, the gol- den hair, piled high in a mass of "I'll Get Along" }Ie imagined she blushed just the tiniest bit, but almost before he. could overcome his own em barttulsaueilt, she was talking, tak- ing the convereatiou away from them all, saying gay, airy little things. asking questions about Sioux Springs and homestead life and praising the ilreakfast, inquir- ing (Newt gulped. nearly knocked over his coffee) how often the mail was delivered at the homesteads. Mark studied her. Site was pret- ty, infinitely so, with a determined little chin. Determined enough, be wondered, for this sort of life? He stirred his coffee, sugared it twice before conversation cam' easily. "ITnderstand you've filed a homestead claim?" he asked. "Yes, over on Rock Creels." "That's good Iand." He paused civet. his coffee. "Anyone helping Yon get started out there?" And rot' the first time he was sure site was a little frightened. She, looked up, suddenly sober. "No," she said, "but.

That is the be- lief of Dr. George W. Teuscher, assistant professor of child den- tist s at 'Northwestern Univer- sity. In ,studying .173 children with the habit, he found that all but throe suffered from deformi- ties of the lips, jaws and teeth, he reports in the Journal of the `Dental Association. PREVENT JAW DEFORMITIES The easiest solution for par- ents is to prevent formation of the habit, but where thamb- sucking is already being prac- tised, raytised, mechanical contrivances sonhetiiles are effeetive in check - it. Dr. Teuscher would prefer, however, that parents study the individual and to determine the best "psychological formula" for correction, even though this ap- proaelh frequently involves parent education in child development.

When insects are not about, screens serve no purpose. In a clition, they deteriorate more orapidly if exposed to the weather throughout the year. Authorities recommend that, screens' be taken down and stored away:'. when no longer needed. Where stored in a place which e t- posea. them to children at play, careless coal men, or other damage, the screens should be covered with some protective cloth.' or paper. It is important that. ;screens be kept free from moisture. LAURA WHEELER FINDS CROCHETED CHAIR SETS A POPULAR TREND • ;•.rte: •'00 ,: • ear: •�s - :,•i,9 a A.°, els•,. � • COPR.

Let's Sandier the various pre- valent ]hut -styles of today, and weigh up their advantages and disad setntagee. HALOS AND I,'I,0WEItS The Halo should never • be worn by those who suffer from a large nose, a bulging 01' receding fore• head, lack of chin or a fat face. The halo lays brut'):tl emphasis on all such, face -faults. It's a real god- send to the girl with too small a face. The }Tore Itet Tooke jest plain silly if perched ou top of a large, fleshy face. Don't fall for a flower hat unless you've got the right clothes with which to wear it. PILL -BOX ANi) TURBAN The Pill -Box, Relic of Edward- ian days. It's excellent for people with narrow or receding foreheads for the simple reason that it covers them up. Provided its circumfer- ence is not too small and it is worn well tilted forward it can also conn• teraet the line of a large nose. Don't wear it if you have a square face, The Turb'l can look lovely ea the regular -featured but tends to lay stress on receding chins and ou over -large noses. Should be av- oided like the plague by the long - faced (as should all high -crowded hats). - SRI MINI ED HATS The Sailor. Probably the most universally becoming itat of this day and age. It's smart; it's prac- tical. it successfully camouflages a large nose. Its cute little brine throws a glamorous shadow across a pair of sparkling eyes. It's trim and it's neat and it goes with al- most all kinds of clothes. The Picture Hat. Very becoming to all types of face except the very small. A boon to the elderly. The Breton looks its best on the regular -featured and on those with determined nosee. Should be avoid- ede by the receding chinned. The Sports Felt is a safe bet with all snits, tailored dresses and country clothes. Can look extreme• ly smart - - or thoroughly dowdy; depending upon the angle at which you wear it. When partly eool add 1 tablespoon of horseradish, 1 tablespoon minc- ed onion and ?, cup grated carrot, Place in moulds (individual) and serve on shredded lettuce with sal- ad dressing. CARROT PUDDING 1 cup each of sugar, raisins, cur- rants, suet, grated carrot, grated potato, ?z teaspoon salt, 1 tnasp0on soda, 14cups flour. Dissolve soda in a little cold wat- er.

C. t t -t*', li- brarian at Queen's University, The manuscript, believed to be an exact copy of one I„ longing to the Earl of Verula:.1, which is used by historians as an insight into conditions in England in 1628, before the days of Hansard, be- longs to E. 11. Sahiston, at Perth, Ont. MENT 10N 01' CROM Mom, The manuscript begins "a true relation of all the proceedings in Parliament in the last session, be- ginning the '0th of January, 1628, until the dissolution thereof." In the middle of the manuscript is a mention of Oliver Cromwell in connection with a charge that a Dr. Alabaster Nati "preached fiat Popery." It was the first. Parlia- mentary mention of Cromwell, who was to become the greatest figure in Euglaud within the next 20 years. Turbulence of events leading up to the outbreak of civil war are described in the document. At the end is recorded the motion of ad- journment of Sir Denzill Hollis. It was 11 years later before Par- liament assembled. Compared with ants, mankind is very "young."
