More than 100000 school chill

The general public is being taught

using their powerful influence
against accidents. More than sixty
cities, ranging in population from

Sally sat in chair and screamed.
She busted herself for a while in
the kitchen, confident that he would
keep his promise.
When the kitchen satisfied her,
she started on an exploration or the
rest of the lower floor. There was
a pantry, with more china in 1t,
which caused her eyes to widen.
Beyond the dining room was an
enormous living room; it occupied
at least half Of the area Of the ranch
house. She liked it at once, not only
for its spacious dimensions, but for
the comfort. even luxury, with which
1t was furnished.
She roamed about the big rooms

amazed at anything she saw. but
marvelins that it should all be there
in the middle Of the range country,
where most living rooms run to
plainness and simplicity, and too
often to drab barrenness.
Finally she picked up a book that
she did not believe would be dis

chairs close to a window and curled
herself into a knot of luxurious COM
fort. She followed the story for a
chapter or two. forgetting the
Wreck and the fiivver and the train

mind became pleasantly dull and
hazy, and a gentle weight nher
eyelids closed them. She was aware
only of the fact that she was going

to lick Charley McSween: no man

But he was not so entirely 4
creature of impulse as Sally be-
lieved him. There was a streak of
calculation in him; it could not be
called caution. but it involved a Ger.

reckoning Of consequences. He
could see Sally's point about the
hide-out. 1t irked him to acknowl-
edge that 1t had merit; he would
not publicly admit it. But he was
honest with himself. His funda

McSween until he produced the

Sally away to the nearest point on
