Later he found that bicycle rider

with the hearts of normal men.

boxers showed relatively little
change in the heart and fencers ap-
parently none.
They found that bicycle riders
did not stand at the head of the
list, but came after the rowers and
skiers. The large hearts of the
skiers are explained on the grounds
that mountain climbing involves
the constant lifting OF a heavy pack
and, Of course at high attitudes.
Tho relatively small heart of the
boxer seems to be a striking Oh
servation and was explained by the
fact that over-exercise seldom ac-

such as we know on the prairie lands,
to appeal to me. And the people are
not as frank and friendly as they
ought to be-"
The other acquiesced.
Most persons who have lived in the
West any length Of time feel this way.
The men were not patrons of the

dressed and appeared reasonably
prosperous.
It wouldn't miss the opportunity of
riding in q day coach Mt this time of
the year and studying my fellow pass
engers," ventured the first speaker.
Most every seat was occupied, and
there were number of babes and
children among the passengers.
Two seats before them sat an at
tractive young mother with a babe
just able to walk. In spite of its zig
gag journey and the lurching of the
train as 1t negotiated numerous
curves, the youngSter persisted in
walking up and down the aisle, at
tracing q great deal of attention and
getting in the way of brakemen and
passengers who had to pass to and
fro. Across the aisle was a child of
about three, quite amiable, but swing
ing in his small hands a half-eaten
banana with its golden envelope dang
ling about 1t, to the evident annoy
ance of an elderly semi-invalid and
her dignified daughter who sat
nearby.
But the holiday season was ap-
proaching and no one was "crabby''
enough to complain. Old maids and
confirmed bachelors, if there were any
in the car, either enjoyed the baby
or kept their thoughts to themselves.
Passengers moved about frequently,
as is quite common on long journey,
and some of the more restless ones,
it is safe to say, occupied nearly every
seat in the car before they reached
their journeys end.
Near the front of the car sat a
woman whose only child was a song

0A ARLAN CLARK and her

VIe 1t was Christmas Eve and
NN they were alone. 1t was
the first Christmas without
the mother, who had passed on the
previous summer.
Marian had not gone back to. college
in the fall She had not been able to
make herself feel it was right to leave
her father alone on the farm. Be-
cause she was always cheerful and
gay, Mr. Clark hadn't fully compre-
hended the sacrifice Marian had made,
nor how much it had meant to her to
drop out her last year. Even though
she might go back later, it wouldn't
be her class.
Marian had prevailed upon her IA
Their to get the radio a few weeks be-

them particularly enthused over the
radio; yet it gave them a contact
with the outside world.

Clark's mind; so that even while he

the past. Marian's thoughts, too,
were busy, but she was thinking Of

long cold winter stealing in about
them. She couldn't leave her father
alone with no one of his own to talk
to or understand.
Suddenly Marian realized that the
carols had ended and voice was
asking:
albert Clark, are you listening in?
Your sister wants to get in touch with
you"
Marian jumped up, astonished.
She shook her father now nodding
in his chair:
Father, listen! It may be your
The voice went on:
"You were two orphans. You were
adopted by a family called Clark, and
your sister by people named Gibbons.
She has never seen nor heard of you
since. That was forty years ago.
You are fifty-one years old. Your
sister is forty-seven, and lives in
Coloma, Mich. She wants to get in

"Father, isn't that you?" Marian
was staring in amazed incredulity,
but the voice was repeating:

this was the last night it would be

Albert Clark was not listening to
the explanation-Coloma was only
fifty miles away. There wasn't much
