There was a slow, steady rain fall
Ing when strange figure stepped out
upon the leaf-covered porch Of the
unknown Peter Holidays shack In the
woods somewhere between Beamish
and Centertown. If there had been
a hidden observer, he would have
seen what looked like q short little
man. covered from heels to chin in q
soiled, cracked yellow slicker. and
wearing enormous mud-caked old
boots on feet obviously too small for
them. The misshapen yellow OIL
cloth rain cap which matched the
slicker was so large that the wide
brim almost touched the wearer's
shoulders. In one brown-gloved hand
was the flimsy wood box, in the other
water pail.
Crystal felt so we'll disguised in
Peter Holidays slicker, rain hat and
boots that she thought it was rather
pity there was no observer to hasten
later to the police with the thrilling

ardently hoped, she found a more
than sufficient supply of gas.
Her midnight planning still seemed
good to the girl who had involved her
self so hopelessly in a web of lies,
deceit and pain. When her "rescuers"
came. they must find concrete evil
dence Of the visits of at least one Of
her "kidnappers" to the shack in the
woods. The brook, whose distant
purling she had heard in the deep 81
lence Of the night before. had given
her the idea which she now set about
executing. The rain was falling
steadily. and while it was not yet
dawn. there was enough light for
Crystal to see that the shack stood in
a little clearing in rather dense
woods.
When at last she arrived at the
brook, which was lightly swollen with
rains farther upstate, she stamped
hard into the soil on the very edge
Of the little stream. even went SO far
as to step into the purling water, walk
ten or twelve PAGES. then emerge
again. to begin the trail back to the
shack. Her story, of course. was to
be that she had been carried uncon-
scious, from her kidnappers car to
the shack, and therefore had no idea
by what road she had arrived there.
But with all these broad. man's-shoe
footprints to guide them, her rescuers
could form their own conclusions. It
would not be necessary for her to sug-
gest that her "kidnapper" had broken
his trail by walking a mile or more
IA the brook.
NEXT: Her own jailer.

Washington, Jan. 26-The last few
years have seen q great infiltration
nto the Argentine not only Of branch
offices of North American firms, but
also OF production plants.
High tariffs have speeded indus
srialization in the Argentine since
the war and have made many large
fortunes with the building up OF in
FAINT industries and the country's In
creasing self-sufficiency.
They also have brought North
American plants within Argentine
borders by making It so much more
economical for the larger American
manufacturers to make. or at least to
finish. their products inside the duty
wall.
Trade experts expect steady in
crease in the number Of such branch
factories and assembly plants. They
see q large market for radio sets In
Argentina and a healthy development
Of aviation. There will be more and
more Of q demand for complicated
manufactures such as typewriters and
adding machines.
American public utilities also have
been branching out and only recently
the international Telephone and Tel
egraph Company, an American con-
Germ, took over the Argentine tele-
phone system. One can now tele-
phone from Buenos Aires to Chile,
Rio de Janeiro or Uruguay, and the
day is foreseen when international
will operate a telephone network all
over South America, with the hope of
covering territory up to the United
States-Mexican border.
The Armour Packing Company has
several big plants in the Argentine.
Swift has two or three and Wilson
one. These sell to the local market,
exporting some hides and q little
canned meat to the United States.

Motor Vehicles in u. S.
Mount to 24.592,37O

New York.-There are 24,592,37O
registered motor vehicles In the United
States, an increase of l,463,055 over a
year ago, the annual tabulation made
by Motor Magazine from the registry
records of the various states shows.
Passenger cars showed an increase
Of g. per cent during the year, mum
bering 214GS,50G. The number of
motor trucks is 2,123,774. a gain of
70 per cent.
New York state leads in the num-
bel of vehicles in use with 2,090,Sl5,
followed by California, l,S06,224; Ohio,
l,GG2,00O; Pennsylvania, 1,G49,4OO; Illi'
nois, l.5O2,076; Michigan, 1,24SOSO.
and Texas 1,111,407.
The increase of 1,4G3,055 In all
classes of vehicles during 1928 com
pares with an increase of l,125,922 re-
corded during 1927.
"Domestic sales of passenger cars
last year approximnted 3,O75,OOO," the
magazine says, land the registration
increase was only 1,254,OO0, so II is
obvious that more than 100000 of
the cars previously in use were
scrapped or taken out of service In
some other way. Requirements. there
fore, are accounting for about GU per
cent Of the total sales"

BATHING DOES NOT
BOTHER LAPLANDERS
Clothing Is Changed but Twice
a Year.

New York.-The Laplanders, who
belong to nOmadic race which wan
ders in the Swedish territory north of
the Arctic circle in pursuit of rein
deer, change their clothing twice a
year, drink reindeer blood, and sleep
with their guardian dogs, still cannot
be classified as primitive people. ac-
cording to Carveth Wells.
On the contrary, said Mr.. Wells,
they are civilized and educated. since
many Of them speak as many as four
languages luently and are expert
botanists.
Each Laplander, the lecturer said,
owns herd Of wild reindeer whose
migrations he follows through the
lovely Arctic summer and settles with
it in the forests north of the Baltic
sea during the winter months. The
meager nourishment offered by the
Arctic regions manifests itself in the
Laplanders themselves, who never
measure more than feet 6 inches In
height, the reindeer, which stand two
feet high and the many rhododendron
bushes, which. when in full bloom,
measure no more than two inches.
If Laplander dies during his wan
behring's, continued Mr.. Wells, he Is
buried on the spot, dug up on the
return journey, and Is then taken to
church, where rs many us 10000 no.
MAIDS gather once year for funerals,
marriages and baptisms.

Animals Can Foresee
Changes in Weather

If you see bull leading the herd
like colonel at the head of bat
TALON, you may be sure that rain is
on the way. The bull leads the herd
like that when he Is angry. because
his temper has been rufIled by the
prospect of rain. To see bull lick
ing his hoofs Is also sure indication
of rain.
In fact, some animals make very
reliable guides to impending weather
changes. When dog seems sleepy
dfsInterested, and evlnces n sudden
loss Of appetite, 1t is a sure sign of a
heavy full of rain. The continual
cackling and quacklng Of ducks and
geese and other poultry Is said to in
dicate rain.
