agreed Travis.
He did not argue. Lefty was ador-
able. but she was welded to belief
in signs, and it now looked as if his
ayowal Of love had been rendered
fruftless by the funeral procession at
the very instant when he had read his
triumph in her eyes. Lefty loved him

argue when she was so obsessed by
the fear of the omen

Answers to Queries

COUNTING SEQUENCES-J. NJ R.. Oakland.
What Is the latest rule in regard 10 counting
sequences in cribbage?
Foster, in his latest edition of Hoyle,
says: ANY three or more cards fol-
lowing one another in numerical order
form sequence. A sequence may also
run into court cards, such as 910-J, or
l0-j-q, or j-q-K; but Okla is not a
sequence. The counting value of a
sequence is one point for each card in
it. Sequences formed in the course of
play must always be single. although
cards forming them need not fall in
regular order Those formed in the
hand or crib may be double, and those
formed with the aid of the starter may
be treble or quadruple."
WATERMARKs- F. r. CITY: What Is the
difference between 'watermark' and wire
mark in paper?
The watermark in paper is generally
the trademark of the maker, or, in
special cases, that of the person for
whom the paper is made. This is pro
duced by characters worked into the
fine wire dandy roll under which the
paper passes in the making. A differ
ence in the fineness of the mesh causes
the watermark. In hand made paper
the watermark is made in the mold in
which the paper takes its FORM A wire
mark is caused by the difference in the
size of the wires running across the
mold from those running lengthwise.
CAST0R-Two Readers City What is the
origin OF ito shy your castor into the ring?'
1t is equivalent to the old time prac-
tice of throwing down the gauntlet =
common as a sign of challenge to
combat. In modern times "shying the
castor" means a challenge to any con-
test. In quarter staff and single stick
competition, challengers signified their
intention to compete by shying their
hats into the center of the ring. Hats
were formerly made of the skin of the
beaver (genus castor), and hats became
known as castors.
