his freedom. His wife refused. They
returned home together. An inter-
cepted letter revealed that Mile. Ba-
bin, her mother and sister were in
Kansas City. There was another
scene. Then Shippey made known
what Madelaine had come to Amer
ica to reveal. There was to be a
child. Again Shippey asked his
freedom. He pleaded for the op-
portunity to give the expected
child name. Mrs. Shippey was
obdurate. But she offered to adopt
the baby.
"The baby is mine," said the
French girl. 81 would rather it and
were both dead than give it to an

fish, and some peculiar kinds Of
aquatic reptiles; and an occasional
plesiosaur or great sea reptile made
its way up the rivers from the ocean.
But the chief inhabitants, were dino
saurs, the lords of the swamp and
forest, great, long-legged reptiles of
strange and varied form.
The majority of them were herb
ivorous, browsing or grazing crea-
lures corresponding to the hoofed
animals of the modern world. Of
these there were three chief kinds
the horned dinosaurs (big rhinoc-
eros-like quadrupeds), the armored
dinosaurs covered with great bony
plates from head to tail) and the
duck-billed dinosaurs, which walked
or ran upon the hind legs and had
no horns or armor, but were excel
lent swimmers. Then there were
various kinds of carnivorous dino
saurs which preyed upon their vege-
tartan relatives. All these were
bipeds, using their forefeet only to
seize and tear their prey and their
long tails to balance the body in
running. Some of these were huge
and powerful; others quite small and
speedy.
1t is only in recent years, and
through the explorations of such
rich fossil fields as those of the Red
Deer River, that we have come to
know much about this world of the
dinosaurs and to realize what it was
like. There is very little in the
textbooks about these recent dis
coveries. Many of them have not
yet been published. But the visitor
to the Dinosaur Hall of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History can
see there a surprising number and
variety Of these bizarre and formi-
dable beasts, and will, we hope, see
many more as the explorations and
exhibition work Of the museum con-
tinue.

"About year ago certain rich

plundered several tirnes in swift sue

of the villages called on the district

NHE most recently installed ex-

= scum Of Natural History is

the skeleton of the deinodon,
or "Terrible TOOTH" a prehistoric
animal, which, if he were alive TO-
day, would be about the most for
midable enemy that a man could
meet. And a deinodon was swift and
active, built for speed as we'll as
power. One could neither dodge him
nor outrun him, and the average
man would be just about the size
of prey that he would consider suit
able for his next meal.
The skeleton stands 11.5 feet
high, about twice the height Of a
man. The length from nose to tip
of tail is 20 feet, and for all his
slim and elegant proportions he
probably weighed in life several
times as heavy as any lion or tiger.
Sucked the Eggs
DR.. w. d. Matthew, curator Of the
museums department Of vertebrate
paleontology, says that, fortunately
for US, perhaps, the deinodon was
not one of the beasts our prehistoric
ancestors had to contend with. They
had cave lions and hyenas and
wolves and great cave bears, not to
mention mammoths and mastodons
and woolly rhinoceroses, and those
were quite enough. If they had had
a lot of carnivorous dinosaurs into
the bargain they might have been
wiped out altogether. But the
dinosaurs had all become extinct
long before the time Of the pre-
historic cave men. The deinodon
lived during the cretaceous period

odd millions Of years ago, if we may

Chinese Soldier Pays Himself

Gil of "The Stars and Stripes" gives
the following account of the manner
in which an ambitious buck private
in the Chinese army quickly learns
to select his own pay days:
HE doesn't do much Of anything,
in fact, except when he takes to ban
ditry. which is about two-thirds of
the time for most Of the Chinese
army. OF the numberless bandits

ers. The girls were Madeleine
Babin and her younger sister.
The chaplain suggested that Ship
pey carry the flowers, which were
heavy. Shippey did. The girls had
a camera. Shippey's films were ex-
hausted before he had taken the pic
lures he desired, and the girls lent
him their camera. A few days later,
after developing the films, Shippey
returned the borrowed camera.
The Beginning
That was the beginning of the
romance. Or, if you prefer, call it
the beginning Of the tragedy.
In her letter Mrs. Shippey had
said:
"If you have lost your heart in
France will be good sport But
you owe it to me to come home and
straighten the thing out like a
man."

the alteration of radioactive min
erals.
At that time our very, very re-
mote ancestors were little opossun-
like, furry creatures, living in trees
and quite too small and inconspicu-
Gus to be troubled by the huge rep
tiles that in those days held the
earth in fee. But in revenge FOR
this disdain, it has been suggested,
our little opossum-like ancestors may
have helped to bring about the ex-
tinction Of the great dinosaurian
aristocracy-by sucking their eggs.
This skeleton was found three
years ago by Charles H. Sternberg
in the great canyon Of the Red Deer
River, in Alberta. The canyon,
500 feet deep and margined by
steep walls and bad-land gullies, is
the richest repository for dinosaur
skeletons that has yet been discov-
cred. 1t cuts through the heart of
the finest wheat district of the Ca

Shippey went overseas. His wife,
although she was offered position
as special correspondent in France
for magazine, remained at home
and took over her husbands task of
writing column Of paragraphs for
Kansas City newspaper.
A Wife's Intuition
Now comes not the least remark
able feature of the whole astonish-
ing story. Mrs. Shippey, 4,500
miles away, discovered her hus-
bands love for another woman be-
fore Shippey knew it himself.
Shippey had been living at no.
tel. 1t closed, and he went to board
at the Babin home. Its charm fas-
cinated him. In an article to his
old paper he described the ideal
family life of the French in general
and Of the Babin family in partic-
ular. There were word sketches of
the Babin family.
1t was a simple story. No one
who read it found anything un-
usual in it. That is, no one-except
Mrs. Shippey. She read there
things the words did not say. Pos
sibly it was instinct. Anyway,
after reading the article, she wrote
to her husband, saying:
"You are in love with Madeleine
Babin."
Mrs. Shippey knew. Lee Shippey
didn't. Up to that time, if he is to
be believed, he had had no idea he
felt more than friendship for any
member of the Babin family or more
for any one member than another.
The acquaintance had begun in
an irreproachable manner. Shippey
and an American army chaplain set
out one Sunday for military cem-
etery to take some pictures. At the
end of a trolley line they inquired
their way and were told to follow
two girls who had alighted from
the same car and were bound fol

good.
"Mr. Shippey's sister, Virginia,
and his mother understand all that" :"
The young woman drew from q
drawer letters from Mr.. Shippey's
sister, Virginia, and telegram from
California.
Both commiserated her and ex-
pressed the desire that she come out
to California. The letter stated that
it might be difficult to accommodate
all three of the little French family,
but that they would do their best.
"Dear little GIRL" the telegram
read, "you must try to bear up in
this"
One letter written by Shippey's
sister said: eve do not know
whether you will come with Lee or
whether you will come later, but in
any case, we shall welcome YOU"
Mother Defends Shippey
Madeleine must not be classed as
home wrecker, Shippey's mother
declares. His home was wrecked
years ago, the elder Mrs. Shippey
asserted.
Lees wife became estranged
from him many years ago." his
mother declared.
"She has, therefore, no honest
claim on him as a wife. When he
went to France as Y. M. C. A.
worker, where he met Madelaine,
they were estranged and, when Lee
came back, it was not to a loving
home such as a congenial man and
wife would create.
"He told her of his love for Ma
delaine and asked for his release by
divorce, so that he could marry the
French girl he loved. His wife re-
fused and this distasteful notoriety
has been the result.
'Lee came to California to pave
the way for divorce
AS is quite natural, Mrs. Ship
pey's mother just as Loyalty absolves
her daughter from any blame for
the pairs unhappiness.
Shortly after Mr.. Shippey met
my daughter he told of the French
girl" said Mrs. Woodson. "While
she realized that affection was dead
between them, yet she urged that
for the sake Of their child, who had
been waiting so eagerly to see his
soldier daddy, who was a hero in
his eyes, that they return here and
make an attempt to rebuild their
home."
Blames Y. NJ. C.. A.
Mrs. Woodson is bitter against
the Y. M. c. A., declaring that it
was in measure responsible for
permitting "such girls as Made

Poem to Friendship
These things were near his heart
1t was in this spirit that he wrote
Under mans scourge or Gods

Though but fight to die,
No ills my life may spoil

Though bitter the grief and hard the

But would nobler be than that, and

fine specimen is on view in the
same hall with the dinosaur skele-
tons) show that there was at least
dry and rainy season; and there
were many trees-willows and tulip
trees, sycamores and oaks, that were
very much like those of the pres
ent day.
A Strange World
The animal world was far more
strange. Not only was there no sign
of man or even anything distantly
suggesting his future evolution, but
not even the ancestors of all the
higher quadrupeds with which we
are familiar had yet come into be-
ing. Save for those tiny opossum-
like creatures in the trees, there was
none of the higher quadrupeds or
mammals, so far as we know, in
these marshes and forests that bor-
dered the great central sea. Nor
were birds, if there were any at ALL
common enough to have left their
bones in the grea come

fed. The advice was immediately
effective. The newspaper discharged
Shlppey as an improper person to
have in it's employ and the immi-
grafton authorities took charge of
the prospective mother.
Shippey, unable to get other work
in Kansas City, went to California,
where his mother and sister are and
where he found a job on Los An
geles newspaper.
In Kansas City Nine. Babin and
her younger daughter are doing fine
needlework to support themselves
and Madeleine. The latter expresses
only sorrow that she has brought
misfortune upon the man she loves.
The girl said that it was the kind
ness Of Shippey during the illness
and deathsof her father, merchant
in Paris, that won her heart. She
said that Shippey seemed very sad
and miserable at times and that she
tried to cheer him up, as did her
mother and sister. All through their
grief over the death of their
father the girl declared, Shippey
stood by them, assisting in every
possible way.

presidents of the Missouri Writer'S
Guild, the annual outing of the guild

event to which he looked forward all
the year. At the nightly campfire
