JUDGED BY SKILL AT POKER

After all. there is something to be

expects, does not always learn It. A
Los Angeles business man recently
asked an acquaintance, "What do YOU
think about Smith? Do you think he
would be a good man to take into our
firm ?" His friend looked him straight
In the eye and replied, Yes, 1 think
he'd be a firSt-clasS man TO tie to and

him last night and I discovered that he
plays safe. He is what religious

and what the world In general. espe-
cially the bold ones, call a coward.
but a man whom nearly every one Sc
cretly respects, envies and almost
fears. He never takes a chance. He
doesn't gamble. When he bets on a
hand he's got the cards. When he
doesn't get the cards he lays his hand
down with smile and waits until
they come to him. and then he plays
'em to the limit. Yes, / think he's
safe, all right. He could play with my

Innes saw Richard at his long pine

At table, that evening. her family
heard with surprise Gerty'S announce
ment that they were to eat in the mess
tent with the men. 1t was too hot TO
cook any longer; this had been one of
the hottest days in the year.
She expected to hear a protest to
the new arrangement from Tom. She
was TO see a new development-sull
resignation. If he would accept it, she
must not argue. Both sister and broth

FORCED TO WAIT FOR NEWS
People Got information Slowly Before
the Invention of the Telegraph
and the "Wireless"

Today when the latest news of the
day is flashed all over the world by
wire and wireless, we are apt to
forget the difficulties of gathering
news before telegraphs were in gem
eral operation. The earliest fast news
courier service of record was reported
by Marco Polo, who relates that Geng-
his Khan, ruler of Chinese Tartary in
the thirteenth century, sent relays of
couriers across the country, covering
about 300 miles each day.
David Hale, manager of the New
York Journal of Commerce from 1927
until some time In the 30's, found his
paper shut out of q gathering
combination. so he organized an indie
pendent service. He first created a
private news boat service. which en-
abled him TO scoop all his competitors
in bringing the first news of the French
revolution to this country. During the
exciting period of Jackson's admins
tration he established horseback ex-
press service from Philadelphia to
New York, which resulted In the insti-
tuition of the celebrated ''Halifax ex-
press"
Richard Haughton, founder of the
Boston Atlas, used relays of horses to
gather election news In Massachu-
sets, and he was able to print the
returns Of the election of 1880 at 8
o'clock on the morning after election

A White Woman and a Brown.

For a few weeks Mrs. Hardin found
the mess tent diverting. Before the
Delta had expanded the capacity of
the camp her soft nook had been over
taxed,a her hospitality strained. The
men of the reclamation service. thrown
into temporary inactivity, were eager
to accept the opportunity created for
another. Failing that other. her zeal
had tagged. Events were moving
quickly at the break; Richard was alb
sorbed. Mrs. Hardin told herself that
it was the heat she wished TO escape
not to her own ear did she whisper
that she was following Richard. nor
that the percolator and chatting dish.

wasted effort. She kept on good terms
with herself by ignoring self-confi-
denceS.
Richard, the discovery unfolded
slowly. took his meals irregularly His
breakfast was gulped down before the
women appeared; his dinners where
he found them.
NO wonder!" reflected Gerty Har-
din. ''Ling's cooking is SO bad" Small
wonder the manager foraged for his
meals.
She worked out a mission as she
lay across her bed that hot afternoon.
Her duty became so clear that she
could no longer lie still. Immediately
she must retrieve her weeks of idle
ness what must Richard think of her?
She buttOned herself thoughtfully into
a frock of pale colOred muslin, cream
slipping toward canary. White was
too glazing on a red-hot day like this.
Pink was too hot, blue too definite. A
parasOl of pastel green. and she looked
like a sprig of fragrant mignonette.
She found the open space of the
trapezium swarming with strange
dark faces. So silent their coming she
had not heard the arrival Of the tribes.
She isolated the COcOpahs. stately as
