1t was hard to see at first. Some
living creature was advancing along
the slope toward us-something that
seemed dark and not very tall. We
stood still and waited. There was
nothing else to do.

Hayward and l were having a
good night cigar together. My wrist
watch indicated a few minutes after
ten. And then Hayward saw a
shadow waver in the moonlight of
the golf green.

were away at school. They couldn't
see in the shadows-but my father
says that beyond all chance of doubt
some living creature bounded
through the thickets in front of
them. 1t might have been a calf
or even large dog.
"a few weeks ago the details be-
gan to vary. 1t was after my IA
theirs old friend. Mr.. Hayward, and
his son came to visit us. But tell
me this first. Would you say the
younger Mr.. Hayward would be
troubled with faulty nerves?"

Hayward had no nerves to trouble
him."
Gust a few nights after his ar
rival, Villas Hayward came in to
dinner with curious look of ques-
ton on his face. He said he had
seen something"
Josephine's eyes were full and
intent upon mine, and the sentence
died away. The silence of the vast
room was the kind to be listened to
in remote deserts. or in the noun

The elder Hayward and | were
stroling on the course, and a few
minutes before our host had been
with us. He had gone into the
house on some errand. Josephine
was with Villas on the veranda, and
his chair was drawn close to hers,

would have wandered off, and Villas

MRS. HOOVER ONCE MANNED

WASHINGTON, June 7.-(Spcc,
ial. IF Mrs. Herbert Hoover be

March, America will become ac-
quaintcd with probably the most
cosmopolitan and versatile f"min-
inc figure ever to- grace the White
House.
Nomination Of her husband as
Republican candidate for the pre-
sidcncy has thrown the spotlight on
this gracious California woman and
revealed background more color
full with adventure than even the
most venturcsomc modern girl could
picture in her fondese dreams.
From operating a machine run
in the Boxer rebellion to sitting
with crowned heads in European
palaces is a far cry. But both OK
pericnccs have come to Mrs. Hoov-
er, as well as q score more as vivid,

a biographical sketch written for
the July issue Of The Farm journal
As Il bride she went with her
engineer husband into the Chinese

Famous Frontier
Mining Camp New
Deserted Village
By Charles V. Kinter
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

REDDING, Calf, July Tie
final chapter Of the history of
Horsetown, formerly thriving
gold mining community is about to
come to an end.
About 80 years ago more than
2000 people called Horestown home.
During the Civil War one Of the
few telegraph offices in this section
was located at the mining camp,
and the Portland, Ore, newspapers
depended on its wire facilities for
their news Of the struggle between
thc North and South.
At its Zenith IIorsctown was one
Of the "Widc OPEN towns of the
frontier. Saloons and dance halls
furnished the entertainment for the
miners when they came in from the
surrounding diggings, while the
community boasted one of the few
newspapers Of this section of the
state.
Mines of the district turned out
fortunes in gold for the men who
toiled in the placer and underground
excavations. The gravel and veins
were exceptionally rich.
But now everything is changed.
Horsctown is deserted, while the
hills have practically been scraped
bare Of its flccks of gold which
brought the town prosperity during
its carly days.
Thirty years ago dredging com
pany began operations after the
washes and hills had been worked
over by individual miners. Even
the toWnsite was purchased by the
drcdge owners and the individual
buildings were moved so as to allow
working of the dirt where they
rested.
Owners Of individual claims in
the townsite willingly sold to the
dredge company, considering them
selves fortunate to obtain something
for their property holdings in the
deserted town.
There was one man. however, who
would not soil. Robert Boyd, a
prospector, stil! ekes out his exist
ancc from his claim III the town
site, and it was predicted that he
will soon be the only resident Of
the vicinity.
So unprofitable are the efforts
of individual miners that a visit
ing geologist who offered 80 cents
each for certain fossils in nearby
formations caused the diggings to
be deserted while the workmen
scanned the hills for the desired
specimens.

When Tad Jones coached Yale foot'

looked for in his grid candidates
was competitive spirit
When I knew a man had the
real competitive spirit in him I felt
pretty sure he would make me q
good man." Jones said.
"YOu see men In sports who
are sheep on the practice field
hut regular tigers i'm a game.
This type rises to full power
when the moment demands it.
Those are the kind of men i
sought.
The other type, and the kind
steered shy of, always do their best
when the result means nothing. In
a pinch they collapse. These are
the kind l term poor competitors
and the kind wasn't so anxious
to have around"
Jones resigned as coach from Yale
last fall, but is certain to be around
young man Stevens to render ad'
vice, II needed, this fall.
