CHAPTER v

Brena Selcoss had been born on
American soil.
One of her most vivid memories was
that of her father, an austere man,
who all his life long had carried about
in the great and muscular body with
its slow movements and its suggestion
of latent giant power, a restless SOUL
ever seeking to find its way hither and
thither like a strong giant n Of I'M
ceasing activity looking for new WORK.
She could remember dimly that her
mother. whose hair never lost the red
gold Celtic glory until she and her sec
ond child died together when she was
forty-tWo, had referred with whispered
awe to the turbulent career of her nus
band. Demetrius. There were vague
recollections of the mothers pride in
the fact that he had risked and lost his
career, begun so early in life n so
brilliantly in chemical research and IN
a professorship in Athens, that he mad
tossed aside all consideration for him.

and to risk his life in a conspiracy for

The plan becomes effective at once
and places a guarantee on used Ford
cars purchased from authorized Ford
dealers, thereby insuring a proper
mechanical operation under ordinary

In assuming the supervision and

Ford Motor company feels that it is
embracing an opportunity to be OF

bunch of race track touts and they are said to have taken him for close to $1O0,0OQ.
 That was another awakener and when he returned he sent for his friend, Harry Heilman, outfelder for the Detroit Tigers, and took out policy for s75.OOO on his (Ruth's) life.
 That will take care of the wife and little Dorothy" he said T don't care so much for myself now, but I've been sucker not to be l thinking of them.'
 l For man who was so robust in appearance, the Babe was very fragile and was subject to many attacks of indigestion that came from satisfying violent appetite that he always carried He couldn't get enough to eat. Friends told of seeing him many times go into the dining room near midnight and get away with a huge steak, several chops and dish of potatoes and some salad. He didn't care much for vegetables and his doctor said that was the cause of his trouble.
 The Biggest BeIyache.
 Miller Higgins tells story of an experience the Babe had in 1924 at the Yankee training camp in New Orleans. The Babe complained of a violent case of indigestion during the afternoon workout and Huggins told him he. should take some bi- carbonate of soda.
 Hey, boy" he yelled at a little negro" GO get me some bicarb." And he handed him dollar.
 That's be an awful big dose,' Huggins said.
 T know it, but I got the biggest bellyache in Louisiana" he roared. Ruth's immense frame and huge appetite made it difficult for him to keep ulnSSI dL pIoyin6 "Oi6hs about 21O pounds. Every winter he put on from 20 to 45 pounds of fat and took it off in the spring by the most violent exercises. His huge frame-6 feet, inches-de manded food in immense quantities which made training off his winter poundage still harder. He would lose five pounds after strenuous day under the southern sun and re place all he had lost at dinner the same night. Then more violent training the next day. All of this left his system ready prey to at. tacks of "flu," to which were added indigestion and frequently blood dis orders.
 AS the Babe grew older, he gained weight more rapidly during the off. season and every year found it harder to remove. He took winter exercise on his Massachusetts chick en farm during the winters but, as he ruefully said: "The more work, the more l eat."

Airplanes Move Miners
 Over Desolate Country

VANCOUVER, B. C., May 19-(P) Success in the use of airplanes to carry miners and supplies to mining districts near Fairbanks, Alaska, and in the Pacific northwest, has result ed in plans being made here for speeding up stampede into the Cas- siar country of northern British Co., lumbia this summer over air routes. Dog-sleighs and pack-mules were pitted against freight-carrying air planes for the time when the wealth CT would permit prospectors to rush to Dease Lake.
 Reports of rich gold strikes in the Cassiar were confirmed at the start of winter. Canadian police placed a ban on adventurers making the | journey, for fear of starvation dur ! ing the severe winter and the possi- bility of freezing to death if an at- tempt was made to return to civiliza- 1 tion.
 A strange assortment of dogs com
 posed the teams arriving at Wran-
 gell, Alaska, preparing for the rush.
 The husky type, bred in the north,
 predominated. There were also Irish
 settlers. A German police dog led
 another team.
