ton which will try to locate Capt.
Roald Amundsen and his fellow polar
flyers by keeping an airplane watch
along the edge of the ice field left the

Chapter VII

1t would be enchanting to be able
to record that Selma, next day, had
phenomenal success, disposing of her
carefully punched wares to great ad-
vantage, driving smartly off up Hal
sted street toward High Prairie with
a goodly profit jingling in her scuffed
leather purse. The truth is that she
had a day so devastating, so catas-
trophic, as would have discouraged
most men and certainly any woman
less desperate and determined.
She had awakened, not to daylight,
but to the three o'clock blackness. The
street was already astir. Selma
brushed her skirt to rid it of the cling
Ing hay, tidied herself as best she
could Leaving Dirk still asleep, she
called Pom from beneath the wagon
to act as sentinel at the dashboard, and
crossed the street to Chris Spank
nOebels She knew Chris, and he her.
He would let her wash at the faucet
at the rear of the eating house. She
would buy hot coffee for herself and
Dirk to warm and revivify them. They
would eat the sandwiches left from the
night before.
AS Selma entered the long room
there was something heartening, reas-
surfing about Chris clean white apron,
his rudy color. From the kitchen at
the rear came the sounds of sizzling
and frying, and the gracious scent of
coffee and of frying pork and pota-
toes.
Selma approached Chris His round
face doomed out through the smoke
like the sun in fog. "Well, how goes
it all the whilef" Then he recognized
her. "Um Gottes why, it's Mis- De-

Selma drew the whip out of its socket
and clipped sharply her surprised nags
With a start and shuttle they broke
into an awkward lope. Ten seconds
too late the German farmer perceived
her intention, whipped up his own tired
team, arrived at the spot just as Sc

"Heh, get out of there you" he

In the absence of this, her natural pro-

Woman amt got no business here in
Haymarket, anyway. Better you're
home night time in your kitchen where
you belong"
This admonition, so glibly mouthed
by so many people in the past few
days, now was uttered once too often.
Selina's nerves snapped.
Don't talk TO me like that, you great
stupid! What good does it do a wom-
an to stay home in her kitchen if
she's going to starve there, and her
boy with her! Staying home in my
kitchen won't earn me any money. I'm
here to sell the vegetables l helped
raise and I'm going to do it. Get out

Against French in Morocco

Undeterred by the defeat of
his best troops at Taounat by the
French, Abd-el-Krhn, pretender to the
Moroccan throne, continues to con-
centrate his men for another offensive
against the French in that sector.
The prestige of the rebel leader
evidently suffered greatly through his

restore it by striking a spectacular
blow with the immediate objective Of
bringing about the fall of Taounat.
