DESERT GOLD

SIN Radford Chase he said. His
voice betrayed the boldness Of his &C

1t was over, In a few moments. The
tables and chairs were tumbled into a
heap; pool table had been showed
aside; lamp lay shattered. with oil
running dark upon the floor Laid
leaned against a post with a smoking
gun In his hand. A Mexican crouched
close to the wall moaning over a bro
ken arm. In the far corner upheld
by comrades another wounded Mexi-
can cried out in pain. These two had
attempted TO draw weapons upon Gale,
and Ladd had crippled them.
In the center of the room lay Rad
ford Chase, limp, torn, hulking,
bloody figure. He was not seriously
injured But he was helpless, a mis-
cradle beaten wretch, who knew his
condition and felt the eyes upon him.
He sobbed and moaned and hoIlad.
But no one offered to help him to his
feet
Backed against the door Of the hall
stood Ben CIase, for once stripped of
all authority and confidence and cour-
age Dick Gale confronted him. He
shook huge gloved fist in Chase's
face.

Here the ascent became toll. Gale
could distance Yauui going downhill !;
on the climb, however, he was hard
put to 1t to keep the Indian in sight.
It was not a question of strength or
lightness of foot. These Gale had be-
yond the share of most men. It was a
matter Of lung power, and the Va
qui's life had been spent scaling the
desert heights. Moreover, the climbing
was infinitely slow, tedious, dangerous.
On the way up several times Gale
imagined he heard dull roar of fall
ing water. The sound seemed to be
under him, over him, to this side and
to that. When he was certain he could
locate the direction from which it came
then he heard it no more until he had
gone on. Gradually he forgot it in the
physical sensations of the climb. He
burned his hands and knees. He grew
hot and wet and winded. His heart
thumped so that it hurt, and there
were instants when his sight was
blurred. When at last he had toiled
to where the Yaqui sat awaiting him
upon the rim of that great wall, it was
none too soon.
Gale lay back and rested for while
without note of anything except the
blue sky. Then he sat up. He was
amazed to find that after that wonder
full climb he was only thousand feet
or SO above the valley. Judged by the

HOW TO BUY A HAT

Some women complain that they
can never find a becoming hat. II
that is your trouble, you had just as
well make up your mind at the outset
that you do not go about choosing q
hat properly. Surely a sufficient
number of hats are brought out each
season to suit all types. There are
a few simple rules for selecting a be
coming hat which, carefully followed
would make the veriest f1apper a pas
master in the art. Usually she is
Have you noticed?)
In the first place, never buy a hat
when you are 'sall tired out. Plan
your shopping SO that you get your
hat f1rst--the rest can wait. A good
time to look at hats is early in the
morning when you feel fresh and
rested.
Never buy hat in a hurry. Try a
number on, studying them from each
side, from the front, and from the
back, in a triple mirror.
Always stand up and walk about
with the hat on Sometimes a hat
may look very pretty while you are
sitting, but when you stand you may
find that you are either too tall or
too short for that Style of hat. Walk
back and forth before a full-length
mirror, observing yourself from every
angle just as your friends are going
to observe you when they see you
coming. It is important that a hat
not only look well on the head but in
proportion to the rest of the figure.
Another thing to remember. is that
If you gain or lose weight you may
have to change the shape of your hat.
A shape that is becoming for a slen-
der figure is not desirable for a stout
one.
If the hat is to be worn with some
particular dress or suit, be sure to
have that garment on. Otherwise
it is almost impossible to get just the
effect one desires.
Never buy hat merely because 1t
looks new or interesting in the shop.
Ask yourself some such questions as
these: Is It becoming to my face, hair
and figure? Is it suitable to wear
with the clothes have? What gar
ments have / that require a hat?
How few hats can I get along with?
1t makes a difference whether you
are buying hat to be worn every
day to school or business, or only
to make an occasional visit in your
closed limousine.

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
PROBLEM OF sHRINKAGE
= = = = = = = =
20, 1922, Harland H. Allen.

The question Of Shrinkage is an i'm
pOrtant one to the shopper 1t is no
little thing to lose 100 square inches
out of a square yard, as sometimes
happens when a flannel or other wool
material returns from the tubs.
Wool materials especially present
grave dangers from this source. They
should always be shrunk before max
ing up, otherwise they will not only
felt and harden if Numbered, but they
will shrink the first time the garment
is worn on damp day, and will spot
from rain.
The reason wool shrinks so badly
is something like this: The fbers of
wool, when seen under the micro
scope are composed OF many little
overlapping segments that are toothed
and notched at the edges. When wet,
these little notches open and expand,
and then catch in one another and
become tangled, thus causing Telling
and mating of the cloth. Often, even
when the laundering is done as care
fully as possible, the best wool gar
ments Will still shrink in daily wear
just from the warmth, moisture and
friction of the body You notice this
especially under the arms where
sweaters and wooden garments are
pretty sure to mat and thicken.
The average wool material shrinks
from quarters to one inch to the
yard. You can judge something about
goods by outside appearances. For
instance, those fabrics seem to shrink
most which contain curly, rather than
hairlike, wool fibers; that have q
carded rather than a combed yarn;
and in which the yarns lie close to-
gether In the weave. ColOred wool
ems are less apt to shrink, because of
the thorough washing which precedes
the dyeing, especially when they have
been dyed in the cloth, instead of
dyed in the WOOL
Cotton goods will average one or
two inches shrinkage to the yard
Some women shrink all cotton goods
before making; but as this takes away
some Of the attractive new look
many prefer to make their gowns
larger than necessary just at first to
allow for shrinkage. Linen cloth
shrinks very little, though coarsely
woven linen will stretch.
It is sometimes very convenient to
be able to find out just how much the
goods you contemplate buying will
shrink. This can be computed by
measuring the length and width Of
sample, and then washing it with hot
water and soap. First overcast the
raw edges so there will be no loss of
threads. Dry and iron without
stretching. Measure again, and the
loss gives the shrinkage.

Desert Gold.

A summer day dawned on Forlorn
River, beautiful still, hot, golden
day with huge sail clouds of white
motionless over No Name peaks and
the purple of clear air in the distance
along the desert horizon.
Mrs. Belding returned that day to
find her daughter happy and the past
buried forever in two lonely graves.
The haunting shadow left her ewes.
Gale believed he would never forget
the sweetness, the wonder, the pas
sion of her embrace when she called
him her boy and gave him her bless

''for-I-I can't marry you!"
The boyish brightness faded out of
Gales face. Here, Bedding saw, was
the stern reality arrayed against his
dreams.
THAT devil, Radford Chase-he'll
tell my secret, painted Nell. He swore
if you ever came back and married me
he'd follow us all over the world to

Bedding saw Gale grow deathly
white and suddenly stand stock-still.
"Chase threatened you, then?" asked
Dick; and the forced naturalness of
his voice struck Bedding.

Then the woman in her burst
through instructive fear, and with her
eyes blazing black in her white face
she lifted parted quivering lips and
kissed him.
Gale left the patio, and Bedding fol-
lowed closely at his heels. They went
through the sitting-room. Outside
upon the porch sat the rangers, Mr..
Gale, and Thorne. Dick went into his
room without speaking.
"Shore sometimes comm off," said
Ladd, sharply; and he sat up with his
keen eyes narrowing.
