trembled a bit and she got up and went

is COOL"
The landlord, a kindly man and earnest,
smiled.
THE Swallow" Miss Hope" he said, is
perfection. There could be nothing better
for you than a ride in the early day."
Good-by to scruples. to lifelong conven-
tions!

ised on the spot.
-Sun-up-an' Anna will lend you riding
skirt, sure"
That promised sun-up found her on the
steps with eyes Of wonder fixed on The Swal-
low, who stood on the beaten sand. The
Swallow, blue-roan and silver, whose beauty
beggared description!
With trembling Lilith Hope got in the
saddle and took up the reins and the world
turned over Who can describe a
ride at dawn in the desert countries?-when
the cool blue shadows are giving way to
pale floods of rose, when the little. dawn
wind comes sweet in ones face, when the
cacti stand like patient ghosts and the smell
of the night-sweet sand is in the air?
. She breathed deep and the tired lungs in
her breast expanded gloriously. She raised
her glowing eyes to the far levels ahead
and they were no longer monotonous. but
filled with mystery.
The old fears and inward WEAKNESS
rushed backward and away with the roll Of
The Swallows rocking gait.
She had forgotten the youth beside her
when he spoke.
See" he said, already you are awaken
ing to this country"
True. 1t was the same, yet not the same
at ALL And she was drunken with the rock
and sway of The Swallow beneath her.
That was the beginning.
Day after day Princiep' brought the horses
and day after day the girl mounted and
rode away into fairyland.
OF course the loungers talked about the
new and quick Acquaintance and Of course
she knew it and was troubled-but the won
derful country-it was no longer anything
but wonderful-tempted her and she fed to
it like a hart to water.
And Princiep' Allorez?
All! Princiep'!
The world had turned over for him, too!
His ready tongue became halting at times.
He could not find the graceful speech he
was past master of. And a strange thing
. had happened. As this fair girl with the
soft brown hair passed slowly out Of her
seeming OF sadness, the gay youth who
was always happy passed into it. Verify a
sadness fell upon the gay and gallant heart

Q kitten. She is SO pleasant on her pretty

There was . very soft note in Princieps
voice when he spoke Of a little child. The
babies now. the babies and horses-they
were the veritable last gifts Of God when he
had given all the rest. the sweet, fine, gratu-
ity.
"You will go with me out across the
desert an let me show you the sweetness
that lies beneath the grimness out yonder?"
he pleaded. But Lilith had already broken
her habitual rule in this pic!z-me-up conver-
, sation and she could not go further.

said. trihe dubiously. " and kindly. too
but-no, think not. Good night, Mr.. Al
lorez I feel better for this little visit" she
added honestly, as she went indoors.
Princiep's eyes were like stars in a twi-.

to walk swiftly toward the livery stable at
the other end Of the sandy street.

For the next two days Lilith Hope saw no
more Of her new ACQUAINTANCE, which was
: just as well, for she was slightly regretting
her eagerness to accept a strangers COM

quite so hopeless, for she fell to wondering

youth had! She could see that little mare
like "a fairy horse.

CAMPAIGN TO

Hartford, Sept. 1.-The State Tu- berculosis Commission has begun a ca ampaign to raise S100,000 to finance its so-called preventive and educa- tional program in Connecticut cities and towns the coming year in con- nection with the clinics, dispensaries, tuberculosis nursing which have been developed as a part of the anti-tu, Christmas Seal Sale, this campaign has become permanent and attrac- tive feature of the tuberculosis work of the state. Through 1t, the tuber- cities and the free tuberculosis clinics are maintained. More than $79 900 was raised last year by the Christmas Seal Campaign and ss3,oo0 the pre- vious year.
 The State Tuberculosis Commission Commission has established as it's To- cal representatives in all the cities and large towns of the state health tion. visiting nurse association, a public health society, or some sim liar organization to cooperate in car
 rying out such a searching tubercu- that every case of the disease can be discovered at an early stage and many cases prevented. While the local tuberculosis units, with the aid of nurses and other tuberculosis work CTS, search for obscure cases, the State Commission assigned its tuber- l culoSiS experts from its live sanator1a to conduct free clinics in cities and
 towns to aid general physicians and the local health officials in clearing | up the disease.
 | The result has been a steady de- l cline in the tuberculosis death rate | in Connecticut which the tSate Com
 mission believes is capable of much l further reduction. Special efforts
 have been made the past year to To- | cate and treat early cases of former

MISSING LINK" OF
 DARWIN IS "F0UND"
Colorado Scientist Unearths Reptiles Skull With In
 ordinate Brain Cavity.

Colorado Springs. Colo, Sept. 17- Fossils of prehistoric life that may lead to the discovery of Darwin'S fla nous missing link" have been un- J W. Scott, of Falcon, twenty miles east of this city. Scott has gather ed large collection of interesting and valuable specimens for several years, and they are now being inves- tigated by leading scientists.
 Scott's latest find is a skull, which is apparently that of a. huge reptile that experts say lived before man ex- isted. The most startling feature of this skull is the brain caSe'' which exceeds in measurements anything previously discovered in fossils. Scott believes the reptile skull is missing 1ink"-much older, however, than the missing link" that has been sought for centuries in connection with the Darwinian theory. He believes this piece of bone. long preserved in the ment of the reptile into the mammal.
 Scott is also convinced that he has unearthed the skull of a prehistoric buffalo which must have roamed the Western plains of America something like 125,000 years ago. The buffalo skull dug up by Scott is deeply curved, whereas, he declares. skulls of buff falo usually are perfectly flat across the forehead.
 PaleontoIogic Lore
 'I place this skull in one of the glacial periods" Scott said, "and have no doubt that it is at least 125,000 years old.'
 In an effort to cooperate with sci entists, Scott has opened his farm house museum to I. Allen keyte, professor of geology at Colorado Col lege, and Dr. Keyte has forwarded photographs of many specimens to Professor Maurice Mehl, of the Uni versity of Missouri widely known paleontologist for classification.
 Scott himself has devoted much time during the last twenty-five years to the study of the many fossils he has unearthed and expresses the be- lief thatt he Pike's Peak region con- tains some of the most interesting fos- sils in the world.
 "I really believe that in this pe- culiar skull which I recently found." Scott said, ''I have the missing link between the reptile and the mammal The large brain case is the striking thing"
 He said that he believed other spe- cimens may be found in this vicinity that will throw more light on the missing link theory and develop the fact that the owner of the skull was possessed of a high degree of intel1i- gence.
 The discovery that the Pike's Peak region is probably rich in fossils has led to the addition of a class in pa1eontology to the curriculum at Colorado College this year.
