Watermelon Is Native of Africa.


 Although scientists disagree on it's early history, most historians are of the opinion that the American water melon began life in Africa way back before Columbus found us. And they further go on to say that 1t is highly probable that the fruit came over as stowaway, perhaps only some fugl- tive seeds, the only possession of some savage black man captured by slavers and chained down in the hold of a vessel for the voyage to the New World. The watermelon was a wild, untutOred thing in It's native land. Two hundred thousand acres of land are devoted to growing the fruit in this country, mostly in Texas, Georgia and Missouri. Next after the United States, Russia has been most addicted 70 devouring watermelons.

Within the bedroom, Barry Hous-

An hour-and three more after
that-a last final, Gathering journey
and Barry leaped from the seat with
something akin to enthusiasm.
Through the swirling snow which
sifted past the glare of his head
lights, he could discern a sign which
told him he had reached the summit,
that he now stood at the literal top
of the world.
From now on he could progress
with the knowledge that his engine
at least need labor no longer. But
the dangersl Barry knew that they
had only begun. The descent would
be as steep as the climb he had just
made.
Again he started, the brake bands
squeaking and protesting, the ma
chine sloughing dangerously as now
and again its sheer weight forced
it forward at dangerous speeds.
He grasped desperately for the
emergency brake. For fixe minutes
there had come the strong odor OF
burning rubber; the foot-brake lin
ings were gone; everything depended
upon the emergency now! AMI al

Careening, the car seemed to leap

car, clutching tight at the wheel,
leaning, white, tense-faced out into
the snow, rs he struggled to nego-
tate the turns, to hold the great
piece of runaway machinery to the
road and check its speed from time
i to time in the snowbanks.
One chance was left, and Barry

gears could only hold the car for a
more or so more
But sudden, swapping crackle
ended his hope. The gears had
meshed, and meshing, had broken.

car was speeding down the steepest
of grades like a human thing de-
termined upon self-destruction.

CHAPTER |.

1t was early afternoon and down in
the hollow which shielded the scramb-
ling little town of Dominion the air
was warm and lazy with the friendli-
ness of May.
A long, sleek, yellow racer came
to stop beside the gas tank and
wheezed into silence A young man
rose from his almost fiat position in
the low-slung drivers seat, stretched
himself and started upward toward
the glazing white of Mount Talu-
chen, the highest peak of the CONT

coldness of SHOWS that never depart

yep" The young man stretched
again. Fill up the tank-and bet
ter give me half gallon of OIL"
Young he was, almost boyish; yet
counterbalancing this was a serious
ness of expression that almost ap-
preached somberness. The eyes were
dark with something that approached
sorrow, the lips had a tightness
about them which gave evidence of
the pressure of suffering, all form
ing an expression which seemed to
come upon him unaware. But in a
fash it was gone, and boyish again,
he had turned, laughing, to survey
the gas tender.

"Camoufage," laughed the young
man again. That's my name"

A thrill shot through Barry Hous-
ton. His life had been that of the
smooth spaces, of the easy ascent of
we'll paved grades, of streets and
comforts and of Injuries. The very
raggedness of the thing before him
lured him and drew him on.

The gears meshed. A stream of
smoke from the new oil spat out for
second. Then roaring and chort-
ling with the beginning of battle,
the machine swept away toward the
siightaturn that indicated the scrag-
gly end of the little town of Domin-
ion and the beginning of the FIRST
grade.
"A six per cent grade if it's ar

He settled more firmly in his seat
and gripped hard at the steering
wheel Gradually, the severity of
the grade had increased to ten, to
twelve and in short pitches to even
eighteen and twenty per cent!
