SCANLAN Synopsis of Preceai"g chapters The principal character in the story is Kelly Penoarrow. !telly Is the son of Sir Mlles Pen - farrow. a lawyer whose father and Mother emigrated to New 'Zealand and brought up a family who are now the parents of the young people with whom the story is concerned. Sir Miles Pencarrow wished Kelly to become a lawyer and to enter his father's practice. Kealy insists on be- coming a farmer. He joins an uncle, .Michael Pencarrow, who owns Duf- field farm. His uncle nas a daughter, 1:11a, who fails in love with an Englishman nam- ed Gentry. E11a's father offers Gentry a bale -share in the Duffield Farm. This infuriates Kelly Pencarrow, Fie quarrels with Gentry, assaults him and leaves ',Infield to work elsewhere. Kelly received a summons to the bet- Aide of his dying grandmother, the mother or Sir Miles Pencarrow, Arrived at the bedside, he is asked if he will apologise to Gentry anti thus give her the assurance that the family a hope of reconciliation. By the Will, belly inherits two thousand pounds, and purchases some bush land at Tapuwai. In his second season he invites his mister Genevieve, his sailor -brother Pat, a.nd his cousins Robin Herrick and Jessie Macdonald to come to Tapuwai. Now read on Thought it was actually a bridge, they always referred to it as the Cul- vert, for the stream was narrow, and ran swiftly between fairly steep banks. It was built with a high arch in or. der to permit the free flow of logs and uprooted trees in flood time. Otherwise it might be carrieo away, or the stream obstructed, and the lower part of the Valley flooded. Jessie was used to bush fires. She bad seen several down the Sounds, but the bush there was not .nearly iso dense, nor the trees so large, "It just love it; it's thrilling!" she said excitedly, "Especially when a big tree crashes and there is a great splutter of sparks. Wait till you see the flames- leap from one tree to an- other; it's marvellous!" Genevieve did not entirely share her enthusiasm. Somehow she seem- ed nervous touight; the brooding calm of the atmosphere was highly charged with tenseness. "A bit of a wind makes it more ex- citing"—and Jessie talked on raptur- ously as they waited for the moment. "You didn't tell Mother, 1 suppose?" said Kelly, "Don't be silly! Do you imagine she would have let us come a yard if she knew? We had to keep that a dead secret. It was hard enough to get away as it was." Kelly and Potty Barker went with Fabian and Hughes to the appointed spur where they were to start the lire, "You stay here—you'll get a good view—and wait till we get back," said Kelly, "How long?" asked Genevieve.

PINKDAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND "And hour or two; perhaps more. I can't say, So long," Not a breeze stirred, but the tim- ber was very dry and the Hames leapt up instantly, • Soon a rool of thick smoke rose above the hills and pro- claimed to the neighbors that the big burn at Tapuwai bad started, The flames roared as they licked up the dry wood and swept through the fell- ed forest and undergrowth, in less than two hours Kelly and Barker came back, and they boiled the billy for supper, which they had on the banks of We stream, where the lurid light of the fire vied with the orange of the sunset. "How long wilt it take to bw'n out?" asked Robin. "Three or four days; perhaps a week, Much depends on the wind and the weather." "You have struck a dead calm at the moment," said Pat, and he turn- ed a searching look towards the de- parting sun. "What if it should rain?" asked Genevieve. "ft would just be my luck," Kelly said gloomily, "You are not thinking of that old Maori curse of Tapuwai, are you?" There was scorn in Genevieve's tone, "You can't start an argument to. night, it's too tot," and Kelly evaded an answer. "How much will be burnt by mor- ning?" asked Robin. "Get up, my lad, and have a look for yourself," Genevieve suggested. "Depends," said Kelly, "But it should be well away to the north," Robin found the whole business in- teresting, but a little puzzling, It was late when they left the stream and returned in Leisurely fa;, shioii to the whare. "I hate to leave it. I'd lika .o watch it all night," said Jessie, "It fascinates me," Genevieve ad- mitted, "but I would hate to be any nearer." The girls went to bed, but Kelly opened a couple of bottle of beer, for it had been a hot day and thirsty work, as be said. For another hour they sat and talked, Before turning in, Kelly had a look at the lurid picture at the head of the Valley, with the great curls and coils of smoke rolling lazily upwards and drifting away towards the north, It was a magnificent spectacle, and a touch of awe mingled with his personal interest in it. "How is she going?" asked Barker. "Pretty good, Enough breeze to take it right away." "Come and have a look, you chaps," Potty called out from the door, "What a marvellous sight!! said Robin, deeply moved, for the deeper dark of advancing night had given an added brilliance to the lambent flame and curling smoke, Genevieve Slept fitfully, he. dreams haunted by the flames. At first she was not sure what was real and what merely a dream. Then through the misty borderland of sleep came a sharp tap-tap•taping, It was the flap- ping of a loose iron on the roof, Then Jessie woke, "What is it?" she asked sleepily, seeing Genevieve sitting up in bed, "Just the wind; a gale seems to be springing up. Walt, I'll go out and see," "Is that you, Genevieve?' came a voice from outside. "Yes. What's wrong, Robin?" "Nothing—yet, But Kelly was a bit anxious at the change in the MAKE YOUR FALSE TEETH HOLD FAST ''at, talk, sing and shout and never fear embarrassment.

Osis but little—any drugstore, wind, and they've gone .out to have a look. round;" Jessie followed them out into the hot glare, and stood silently watch-, ing the fierce glow now fanned by the wind, "Youre not seared?" Robin asked, "No: Why should 1 be?" Genevieve's', hand bad felt the nipping tremor' under it as she put a casual: arm round Jessie, "Come along inside," and Robin closed the door. Jessie looked nervous. What if the burn should go wrong? She thought of the terrible possibiiitiee if the fire should spread from the felled to the standing bush, and down into the Valley. They bad taken every precau- tion, recaution, but "What diti Kelly say?" Genevieve enquired anxiously, "Just asked me to stay oehind with you, Pat wanted to see the fun, a fire is a novelty for him; he gets his thalls out of icebergs round the Horn," He tried to speak lightly. The wind increased to a gale, and an hour later a perfect hurricane was blowing, sweeping across tLe coun- try, fanning the dames, which leapt from fallen log to standing tree, clear- ing the whole range in its devastat- ing onrush. They were trapped in the Valley, the only exit being the narrow wind- ing bridle path, now barred by flames. Genevieve saw the terrot in es- sie's eyes. This was so different from the bush fires they had bad down the Sounds, Robin tried to cheer them but his eyes were anxious and his mind was busy planning a way of escape. Sev- eral times he opened the door and looked out. "It's getting nearer," Genevieve said. "Yes." Robin slipped an arm through hers, and they drew close together, "Are you afraid?" he asked. "Yes, I'm terribly scared, "Don't get panicky, a lot may de. pend on keeping your head," "Then you believe ......,, " She stop- ped and looked at him, "I don't think there is any real danger yet, but " He paused. "There is always the stream," "Did Kelly say that?" "Yes," Outstanding Quality 70'? Fresh from the Gardens leaching Helps Correct Sun Tan The Brown That Was So Flattering With Summer Clothes Not So Pretty Now At thls time of year, a girl discov. ers that the suntan which was so flat. tering with active sports clothes is quite horrible with new fail street dresses. In addition to the shade of her skin which, goodness knows, is annoying enough, there are the prob- lems of dryness and coarse pores, Of course, conscientious use of sun- tan lotion in the daytime and tissue cream and a pore -shrinking, bleach - the present catastrophe but there's no use talking about that now, Ac. tion is mare important—that is, ac- tion combined with a good bleaching cream and a port -shrinking, bleach- ing tonic. When you've wasted face and neck with soap and water, smooth an the bleaching cream, Let it stay on for live minutes and then remove with cleansing tissue. Afterward pat on the bleaching, toning skin tonic and let it dry, If you feel that you need another coat of cream, part of which can stay on all night, smooth a thin layer of the same thick cream on your skin, Wipe off only the excess, "Then he knew. .. " "Just as a precaution, he said to girls Develop ge there if it got too—too hot." "Where have he and Pat gone?" "To have a look at things, and round up the horses and any sheep they can. They will make for the stream. We will be quite safe under the stone bridge, and the water is only waist -high there." Potty Barker, neatly blind with smoke, galloped up to the weir, 'Take anything you value, and, the food, and make for the stream. As a last resort, get under the culvert, You should be safe there, But it is backing round this way, an4e, the whare will probably go later." 'r+' "Where are the others?" asked Gen- evieve. "Fabian's horse bolted and threw him. The fire scared it. He's got a broken leg, I think, and they are try- ing to get him down here." "Where are you going now?" ask- ed Robin, as Potty wheeled his horse; "Fabian's mother is in his cottage, with the baby. She came up to spend the New Year and brought the young- ster. He is nearly out of his mind about them." "I'll come with you," "Hurry, then, we've no time," "Oh, Robin!" It was a poignant cry that escaped Genevieve, Far one instant In the glare they conked at each other, "It is all right," Robin said, reas- suring her. Quickly he turned 'and kissed her, and, tearing his hand away from hers, put bridle to one of the terrified horses, and followed Potty Barker. Fora moment her head whirled, and the blood seemed to leave her heart, then came rushing back. Confused, she tried to drag herself back to the dangerous reality of their posi- tion, "Has Robin gone, too?" Jessie ask- ed, fear now starkly in her eyes. "Yes, with Potty. Old Mrs, Fabian and the baby are in the cottage, and Fabian has been injured. Kelly and Pat are carrying him down to the stream, What a horrible business, and I feel responsible for bringing you ail here!" (To lie Continued,) Golden Hen The scientific hen has arrived in England. This amazing bird, christen- ed the Golden Calabar, is the product of years of laboratory research and erperiment, crossing and recrossing one breed with another, and isolating its best features. Though a prolific layer and rapidly maturing hen, her chief recommendation lies in her eggs. Cockerel chicks hatched from them are born blondes, and hen chicks brunettes; both sexes retain- ing their original and distinctive plumage for life, Normally, British poultry -keepers are unable to sex chicks until they are at least three weeks old, during which period precious food is wasted on fattening unsuitable birds. The Golden Camber will save thein thous- ands of pounds. Mass Hysteria Denied Right to See Their Sweethearts, They Swallow Spoons Budapest, --Because grey were not permitted to see their sweethearts among the troops of the Hungarian army, school girls of the reformatory at Rakospalota developed what doc- tors diagnosed as mass hysteria. Eche girls, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years, began swallowing all sorts of objects from teaspoons to tooth brushes. They had to be given hos- pital treatment immediately and some were reported dying from the effects of operations to remove the objects. The girls had been forbidden by the Catholic nuns in charge of the school to write their boy friends, so they started smuggling cut the love letters in loaves of bread and in cakes, This subterfuge was exposed and pun. ishment was swift, Then the epidemic of mass hysteria broke out in the school, culminating in the orgy of swallowing foreign objects, Doing Your Best How easy it is to say "I'm doing the best I can." Some of you young people always say this if a teacher criticizes your work, or an employer finds fault, Well, it is true that you cannot do more than your hest, but the point is that too few of you do that. Some one has .aid that only ten per cent. of the energy stored in coal is used when it is burned in the fur- nace; the rest is wasted, Experts estimate that human energy, also, is largely dissipated. Not_even ten per cent. of it is utilized. Some of you young people say, "1 did my best," in a very meek voice, as though you were apologizing, When you can honestly say, "1 did my best," however, you are making as proud a boast as ever fell from human lips.

GEO. ST. CLAIM (Grapho'Analyst) All Rights Reserved. (Editor's Note: It is very evident that interest in these articles, and in the subject of Charaoter Reading from Handwriting is Increasing. Many rea- ders are sending in their own hand- writing for a personal reading by this well-known handwriting expert. Have YOU sent in YOURS? See the offer following this article), In the course of a huge mail that comes in to me every week, I am im- pressed by the number of young ped. ple of both sexes, who are very vital- ly interested in finding what their friend's character is really like, Some of them are franker than others, and inform me that they will rely entirely on my verdict, 1 am gra- tified by this confidence and always do my best to guide my correspon- dents aright. I often hesitate to inform any young person that their friend is totally un- suited to them, because, so very often people can rectify weaknesses or ne- gative traits by a little self -tuition. The great point is that a lot of people are unsuited to others, unless they get down to brass tacks and improve them selves, A young lady wrote to me recently, and sent me a specimen of her boy friend's handwriting. Incidentally, she told nze that he was very fond of gambling, and did not seem able to give it up, A cursory inspection of his writing revealed that his worst fault, was his inability to say "no." He was vacillating and prone to procrastin- ate. He was indescisive, unable to make up his own mind. It does not take much thought to realise that this young man is guided too much by others, and, in his par titular case, he finds it impossible to refuse whenever his chums suggest some form of gambling. Hehasn't tbe backbone to say "no," There is a chance for him, and for my correspondent's hope of making a successful union with him—but it de- pends on himself. He must exert a great deal more backbone, He must learn to decide things; to make up his mind, if he doesn't, or will not, then my Pave Generations of CanacItnns have enjoyed i+a aoothint lather sly; eel di teons t a to' young lady friend may as well write him off as a bad loss, and turn her at- tentions in another direction. One of the worst failings to which anyone can be subject, is a chronic indecision and procrastination. Any- one who has this disease—for It is a mental disease—is an unlucky person to become fond of. Unless the failing is overcome, trouble and unhappiness are almost certain to follow. There are cases where I have no he. sitation in warning people to have no.. thing to do with certain others, Their deceit and dishonesty stand out in their writing like flag poles. I will deal with this subject further in a later article, "Mabel," Toronto—The writing of your friend shows that she is thrifty and cautious. You will be quite safe to entrust her with the matter you speak of, because you can be sure that she will look after it. It is her nature to do so, And, being honest and straightforward as she is, you can de- pend upon her, Would you like to know what YOUR handwriting discloses?
