Roughly she showed the men out
into the blizzard and closed the door.
Then she stood with her back to 1t,
deep sobs racking her body.
Now as she had almost died, and
Wee Jerry too, so would Marcus Mac
Kenzie. The, vicious hope that she
could see him writhe In his grief took
possession of her.
Distraughtly she placed the bar
across the door, making sure 1t was
locked. Then. creeping to the cot,
she gazed down at the wet bundle.
There, where she had helped Oscar
Bennett over dark rough places into
the light of Eternity, lay the dearest
dear of her bitterest enemy.
She uttered an exclamation when
she saw a lifting shudder go over the
thing on the bed A smile fitted
across her face, and her hands came
together convulsively.
Slowly she knelt down and I'M

Ign Mackenzie was staring out at her,

completely filed her mouth and Polly
grinned at her.
"Do you know what squatters do to

Although she could not speak, Eve

her eyes, her face going drabber In

Polly had stepped to the wood-box
and was picking up the ak. She

"This." was all she said, tapping
the handle.
Evelyn struggled; and Polly
laughed, wicked laugh, no more like
the ripple which Daddy Hopkins had
loved to hear than the bark of a wolf
is like the iark's morning song.
Tears rose into Evelyn's eyes and
rolled down her cheeks. The smile
faded slowly from Polly's face. Ever
had excruciating agony touched her;
like a sunbeam through rift In q
storm cloud. the old Polly leaped up to
take heed of another's hurt This feel

ak on the floor and squatted beside the
bed.
Scarcely had she done this before
loud knock came on the door. She
threw the blankets over Evelyn and
went swiftly forward and lifted the
bar.
Larry Bishop thrust the upper half

Idaho Falls.-At a meeting repre-
senting the commercial, financial and
business interests generally of the
Upper Snake river valley from Idaho
Falls north, including representatives
of the sugar interests held under a
call issued by the chamber of COM
merce of Idaho Falls plans were COM
pleted for the financing of the sugar
beetgrowers of the valley. Represen-
tative bankers stated that through
the medium of the war finance cor
poration funds could be secured which
would enable the banks 20 take care
of the large borrowers and in that
way relieve the situation to the ex-
tent that local banks can handle the
situation so far as the needs of the
small borrower is concerned. This in
conjunction with the financial aid ex-
tended by the sugar companies
through the aid of the war finance
corporation will solve the matter of
the financing of the sugar beet crop,
it is said. The representatives of the
sugar companies went further and
agreed to enter into contracts with
growers to furnish seed, equipment
and provide suitable labor at the pre-
vailing price and to assist in moyins
the crop.

Both Hands on the Wheel.

Motorists are cautioned time and time
again to drive with both hands on the

unabated and is too often encouraged
by the stock argument that as practically
all makes Of cars are equipped with
steering gears Of the irreversible type
no ordinary, unexpected road inequality
will be more than ono hand can COM
fortably handle.
But the road surface Is not the only
factor to be considered in steering, as
an investigation Of a recent odd acct-
dent showed A driver vc5 ambling
along a quiet street at not moro than
ten miles an hour. He vas steering
with the left hand only. graspins the
rim of the wheel little below the half
way point on the left side. The other
hand was saluting passing pedestrian
Suddenly, and without warning, day
dreaming motorist ran his car squarely
into the rear left fender of the slow
moving. machine, causing IT to nound
forward Tho sudden impetus from te-
hind naturally threw everything for
ward. including the driver. and since his
left hand was firmly grasping the wheel
it exerted a sudden upward motion TO
the rim This caused the car to swerve
to the right. That meant heading in
the direction Of the pavement, where a
sturdy telegraph pole was in readiness
to smash up the front OF the machine.
Had both hands been on the wheel

and his hands would not have had such
a decisive effect upon the steering. In
all probability the car would have
bounded straight ahead. sparing all the
front end damage. Nowadays in motor
ing what's before you is often deter
mined by what's behind.

Observations.

A fatalist Is a man who can feel
comfortable when his wife is driving
him homo from the ofiice during rush
hour
Some Of these drivers who burn
their headlights in the daytime in
order to keep their batteries from be-
coming overcharged might better
waste current by using the horn a
little more frequently.
Those who are forever delivering
sermonettes on the strikingly human
features OF tho automobile will doubt

that we will soon be running our
cars on castor oil. Hope our engines
take to 1t better than we do Why not
play safe by trying Castoria?
Judging by the number Of neglected
cars on the streets. some people who
choose their cars for appearance
must have an awful change OF heart

eventually overhead. -.
A source Of lost power in hill
looked Is the bouncing Of rear wheels
over q rough road. Every bounce OF
a wheel that IL driving means a loss
Of momentum due to free m0mentAry
spinning. The solution to this IL to
give attention to avoiding the holes
in the road or feedins less gas for
avoidable rough place.
A lot Of drivers Imagine they are
gaining momentum by rushing over
the rough places. but they would
accomplish more by taking 1t easier.
Unless the throttle is closed mo-
mentarily while the wheels gre going
over very rough spot wisS the car car
ofttimes come almost to a standstilI.
When under power the wheels tend
to run free, and when they are IA
vored with the opportunity they run
wild.
The practice of cutting curves
so has led to the habit Of taking
tho short cut around curves when
hill climbing. This accounts for the
lost power" Of many q motor be-
cause the grade of the inner side of
the curve is always greater than
that OF tne outer sue. ne uIIfci
who in hill climbing keeps to the
outer edge of curves-provided they
are not dangerous-gives his engine
the same sort of advantage Doobin
used to enjoy when his owner helped
him up hills by criss-crossing from
one side Of the road to the other.
In hill climbing an apparently in
consequential thing will often mark
the difference between making it in
high" or resorting to second"
Keeping on the crown Of the road
is Just one of these determining fac
tors. The driver who keeps getting
of into the gutter or ditch unneces-
sarily increases the road grade when
he again tries to steer up on the
thing counts. The point is to know
what these things are.
An optimist is one who believes
his car actually does the mileage per
gallon that the man who sold it to
him said it would.

Using two cylinder head gaskets in

power Of an engine? Raising the
head increases the displacement of
each cylinder 50 that it can accom-

Parking Pointers.

The proper way to make" q small
parking space is first to steer the car
slightly. into 1t and then out again
before backing in. This brings the
rear wheels nearer the curb in prepa-
ration for the backing process and
thus facilitates the work Of making
a neat parking job. Most motorists
drive up parallel with the car ahead
Of the parking space and then back.
This requires more room, increases
the possibility of humping the rear
fender Of the car ahead and, in gen.
eral, makes the work more difficult.
The embarrassment Of holding up
traffic while preparing to back into
parking space can be avoided by
parking head first into the space
temporarily. When traffic has passed.
back out and take your time doing
, the job in the manner outlined above.
This method also saves forfeitirg a
space to some one who may sneak in
behind while you are preparing to
back.
When backing into or pulling out
Of a tight position where the utmost
care Pust be exercised to prevent
applying too much gas and hitting
another car it Is often good plan
to set the emergency brake part way.
This acts as a drag on the car, thus
fo1 estalling the possibility of moving
forwards or backwards too reck-
lessly.

Insurance Inquiries.

@. Must q policyholder accept the
amount of indemnity as determined
by the automobile insurance adjus-
ter?
A. The policyholder is given the
right of resorting to an appraisal of
the loss, one appraiser being appoint
ed by each party to the insurance
contract. The appraisers select, in
turn, a disinterested umpire. to whom
they submit their differences If they
fail to agree
q. Is the cost of appraisal charged
to the insurance company or to the
motorist?
A. The expenses Of appraisal must
be equally shared by insurer and In
sured.
Q. Why must a motorist usually
wait sixty days before the insurance
company sends draft to indemnity
for loss occasioned by theft OF car?
A, The policy-contract specifically
states that the loss shall not become
payable until sixty. days after notice.
