Good TO you'll" he exclaimed. "But
they amt a-bitin' Jest right. The
moons wrong, and the signs Is wrong,
TO- f1shin'."
At that instant John Moreland ap-
peared at Heck's side. He seemed very
serious about something.
"Bill Dale" he called, "come over
here"
Wondering, Dale put down his rod
and turned to obey. Two minutes later
he stood before John Moreland.
II jest wanted to tell ye," and the
mountaineer almost closed one alert
grey eye, "'at ye're purity shore to
git into trouble over thar"
''Tm an able-bodied man." Dale re-
turned smilingly.
"You shore are" frowned Moreland,
but mebbe you amt used to burned
hard fghtin'."
Not used to hard fighting! Dale's
smile broadened. Once he had whipped
heavyweight pugilist; and he had
fought as a matter Of principle, and
uOt 1Or money OF preStlSe.
Moreland suddenly jerked one thumb
toward the other side Of the stream
Dale looked and saw, standing beside
Babe Littleford, a quite formidable
man. He had the height and breadth,
almost, Of Goliath. He was black
eyed and black-haired, and his thick,
short beard was curled like the hair
between bulls horns. In one hand
he carried a repeating rife as lightly
as though 1t were a mere straw.
One Of his great arms suddenly
Strengthened toward Dale, and a voice
as gruff as the growl Of a bear said
hotly:
What was you a-doin' here a-talkin'
to my gyurlf"
Babe Littlsford looked angry. Dale
flushed, then went pale.
II have a habit Of talking with
whom 1 please" he said evenly.
"Spoke like a man." drawled the
lanky Heck in very low tone.
Goliath Of the hills stared unbeliev-
ingly. Dale said in an undertOne to
John Moreland: "Is it that Ball fel-
lowT
"Yes," answered the hillman; '1t's
Black Adam Ball."
Ball dropped his rifle to the
violets, slowly clenched his huge and
hairy hands, and thrust his bearded
jaw out aggressively.

IF you have any business with me,
come over here and transact it." Dale
retorted. II won't rum"

objected. "But I'll meet ye half way
and I dare ye to take me up, ye lace
trimmed pink mollycoddle
Halfway would be the middle Of the
river, and no place for fight, surely.
But Dale was nettled. His temper,
the temper that he had never been
able to keep wholly under control, was
rising fast. he threw of his coat and
hat and rolled the sleeves Of his soft
shirt to his elbows. Then he waded
into the pool. The slowly moving
water was up to his waist at the half
way point, and the bottom was Of
hard-packed sand.
The Goliath stared unbelievingly.
He was not accustomed to having his
challenges thus accepted. He threw
off his hat and went to meet the 1.-THE

NATURE CARRIES NO SPARE TIRES

A MEXICAN young women average more than an inch taller than
~ women Of the same age so years ago. This is discovered by Dr.
IN Celia Duel Moshcr, medical adviser at Leland Stanford univer-
sty, who has checked up the measurements of girl students for three
decades back.
Women also are getting heavier, says DIR. Mosher. She attrib-
.ufes the change in feminine physique TO more sensible clothing and
exercise, particularly participation in sports.
London scientists say that English women in the last half cen
fury have increased their height an average Of three inches and
that their shoulders have begun TO broaden.
On the other hand, say the scientists, English men Of the next
f.~ generations will decline in stature as result of heavy war losses
among the best physical types.
The world has gone on wheels. This, in the long run, Is bound
to weaken and probably shorten the human legs. Our whole mode
OF life is changing so radically that the human being OF 100 years
hence may be starningly different.
For nature changes all living things as changing environments

WCUR0PEs tO,tering civilization has become a stock phrase Of
