OF course the language among the
different tribes OF Indians varies. I
have chosen for you some of the names
the Modoc Indians used. The old Modoc
country stretches from the valley OF the
Lost River in Oregon down into the
northern part OF California.

Bobbje Tells Why

Dear Cynthia--Kindly print the fol.
lowing to "Seesaw." am fellow Of
nineteen and l always hang around the
dance halls, Not to praise myself, but i
have been told by more than one that
am not the worst looking person In this
world. In other words. from the view.
point of others and my own viewpoint
j am a good-looking chap. i don't hate
myself.
Now to come to the subject in uues-
ton. concerning why the fellows rave
over the wild girls and then when they
come home they really despise them.
When 1 go to the dance hall l pick
out the girl that has a box of powder
and a barrel of paint on her. to dance
She looks pretty to me at that moment
She let's me kiss her any time feel like,
and she knows every one and every one
knows her. I can have all the fun with
her. which no really nice girl will allow
any fellow. Every one knows this kind
of girl at the first glance. Now, Gym
thia, when l go to the dance hall. whom
should take out for dance-a decent
quiet little girl and then talk to her on
topics of the day, or should ] take out
the big-timer. who will let me speak to
her on any subject whatsoever? Then
when i go home whom should really
praise-the quiet girl, who is very par
tieular as to the friends she goes with
or that vampire who knocks them al
cold? Cynthia, after all l have Just said,
can you imagine wnom VIII marry
later on--the quiet girl or the one thai
every one knows? Why, Of course. the
quiet girl.
Now, girls, here is a friendly tip from
a fellow who knows girls and fellow:
through and through. You big-timers
who think you are fooling the fellows
and try to make John out Of them
don't think that you are fooling them
for you are foollng yourselves, He
doesn't think much of you, although he
will say so to you. He will never spend
any money on you for nothing, and it's
not respect that he gives you.

Carrington Bellairs was touched by
the appeal on Mary's pretty face, To

went on:

Before two hours elapsed Mary had
been upon the verge of tears.
1t was Just about that time that Car

In five minutes he returned, looking
rather curiously at Mary.
In his hand he he'd her handkerchief
and brooch. 49,, ,
Mary caught sight of the little pearl
ornament. Her whole face lit up and
she gave an eager cry:
"Oh, I'm so relieved Where-where

Mary gave low, hurt cry. She put
her two hands up to her pale face, as
though to hide It.

There was silence in the library after
Mary spoke. A dreadful, unforgettable

60 TEALOUS!" Sadie shrilled. 'Jeal-
- Gus of thief. Say. what do you
take me for? I suppose you'd rather
have me come home and say we'd do
everything in our power to protect her,
wouldn't you. Sam Howard? Well,
don't worry. nothing like that's going
to happen"
And she went off into the bedroom
to take off her hat and coat, already
gloating over her news and the sen
sation it would make when retold TO
the different people in the tenement.
II don't want her to tell" whimpered
jake.
ooh, shut up" said Sam irritably
There's never any peace or quiet in
this family" Harriet's face haunted
him and in imagination he saw her
bounded by the police OF course, il
she really had escaped with the money
she deserved what she got. and vet Sam
could not believe it possible. She
simply wasn't thnt sort. There was a
vindictiveness about Sadie's attitude
that worried Sam. Like most men he
could not understand one woman s
cruelty to another. He did not realize
what il meant to an unattractivc WON
In like Sadie TO get even with a woman
of whom she had always been jealous.
Harriet was late at the office the next
morning. She had purposely avoided
the crowds hurrying to work. although
IL she had but known il her safety lay
in crowds. As she hurried into the
Offices of Harmon & Graves she came
across Charley Harmon talking with
Lucy Pratt. They drew away quickly
when they saw her. and Charlcy's face
wore an expression of half anger and
half bravado. Lucy had turned away
so quickly that Harriet had no chance
to see her face. but her own cheeks
burned, and again she wondered what
there was between the two. Harriet
could not imagine a woman who would
stoop to hold a man who didn't want
her. 1t somehow cheapened all woman
hood when a girl was willing and eager
to do that.
That night Harriet purposely stayed
overtime to finish up some work. She
clicked away at her typewriter for half
an hour after the others had left and
when she finally put on her hat and
coat. she felt that she could venture
into the street in safety. She was so
certain of this and her thoughts were
working so busily that she was startled
when some one stepped up from behind
her and spoke few words in her ear.
Turning quickly she looked directly
into Sadie Howard's eyes.
OH Harriet gasped.
| Sadie was walking along beside her
and there was nothing else to do but
accept the fact. although Harriet
thought desperately of trying to make
an escape.
II had a hunch that il waited
around long enough I'd see you" Sadie
exulted. II even saw the building you
came out of. so you see the games up. "
But why. Sadie?" Harriet asked
quickly. why should you feel that
way toward me? I've never done any :
thing to you. Don't be cruel" Her
heart was beating fast. Was this the

A fire that wiped out two buildings

escaped with their lives is attributed
to the carelessness Of telephone oper-

A fireman passing the building was
the first to see the smoke at an upper

where it took him seven minutes to
get a connection with fire headquarters
and turn in the first alarm. BY that
