 and they drifted away, glance,
 following them as they passed. < In the great foyer of the hote the girl saw face she knew. I'm spulsively she put out her hand
 Shane McDermid. How nice tc see you!"
 t The big man in the brown suit smiled. Well, well! It isn't Miss Barrett any more, is it?''
 Mot now"
 {. Give shook hands with Shane cordially. "I haven't forgotten that night you saved our lives"
 Shane laughed boomingly. "I did nothing at all. I was on duty"
 Give said, q often wondered how you knew what was going on. You came out from town, didn't you?"
 Liane interposed swiftly. She knew instinctively that if Shane answered fully Tressas name was bound to arise. She felt a generous impulse to shield her vanquished rival.
 "The lieutenant is much too clever to tell us how he works" she laughed, giving him a swift warning glance. Shane dropped his eyes.
 "D'you mind if I leave you for q bit?" Give asked. Want to tele- phone the garage to send the car over"
 Liane sat down in one of the deep chairs under the palms. Through the fringe of her long lashes she looked shyly at this big man who had played so odd q part in her life: q owe you great deal, Shane McDermid," she said.
 He looked uncomfortable. Not at all. not at all" He frightened. You don't mind me saying this but you're happy. aren't you?"
 She nodded. "Oh, awfully. Why should I mind? You've been one of my best friends" ;. I'm glad. Young girls nowa- days, most of them, don't seem to know what they're after" He Crowned.
 You're not married yet ?' Her matronly air was amusing. "Im not I've had no luck with hn 1ndinG Tho I in business are not the marrying kind"
 : She smiled at him. You'll find one. You deserve one of the best"
 Give came back. They said good bye to the shrewd-eyed policeman in the business suit. . 'I'm not at all sure I liked the way he looked at you Mrs Clees- paugh." Give said banteringly on the homeward ride.
 "Who?' She had forgotten all 6 bout McDermid. She was think ing of other things.
 Give slipped his arm under her shoulder. "Our Celtic friend. He looked as if he'd like to eat you up."
 : ''1diot. That's your imagination" Iazily Give inquired, However did you meet him, Liane? You never told me-" fyhe gave a little start. ought she to tell him? Ought she to go back to that night year ago when 8 silly, pleasure-loving young girl had paid with terror and tears for an innocent enough adventure? No, she decided she would not. The old Liane Barrett of the shabby clothes and timorous pleasures was gone forever. The woman in her place was strong and loving and wise.
 Shane McDermid would never tell. He knew what an ignorant child she had been. He had helped her out of a bad place. She was eternally grateful to him for it.
 So she evaded her husbands question. "Oh. I just met him

"Why not question Miss Merry man? That will establish proof she certainly is innocent" Thomas Andrews said.
 Establish proof! It would do any thing but that.
 Certainly, I'll answer any ques- tions that you want me to-" Sue answered. Flash of blue black eyes. Dangerous. Dusky rose reepening in her cheeks. Her body slim and taut, like a smoky blue flame. ASK me anything" Suddenly she let go. But you don't believe that I'm guilty, do you?"
 Certainly not" The elder An drews again.
 Anyone who does is. Oh, this is terrible. I'll answer for Sue Merryman. Isns she the girl Pm en- gagged to marry? You ask a fellow to come to a party and then...." pr Barnes broke off shortly.
 How long have you been en- gagged to pr Barnes?" the voice of Jim Young interrupted.
 Not very long," Sue answered. She couldn't lie. The elder An drews knew better. A lie would only injure her. Had you known him long be fore that?" e"
 Just since I've been in town. !" Her voice didn't falter. Her breath was coming too quickly, though She could hear her heart racing under the folds of chiffon.
 How long have you been In town?"
 "Just a couple of weeks"
 "Humph!" Expressive. Like conclusion.
 "How long have you known Dr Barnes?"
 "Just a couple of weeks!" Sue flung it out, and faced the young lawyer defiantly. She would let them all hear the answers they wanted to hear. Then she would let them all apoligize for the manner in which they were acting. Circum- stantial evidence was against her She flung her head higher.
 Why did you get job in his officer"
 Because I was broke and need ed work"
 "Do you live alone?"
 Hold off. Young, this is going too far!" Dr Barnes had been standing, ready to jump. Another question like that and I'll give you the one I was reserving for this liar in the corner"
 Sue, familiar with the ways of lawyers. knew that Jim Young, in- tensely interestel in the courtroom side of his practice, had forgotten what he was doing. He wasn't pur- posely putting her on a torture rack. To him she was a witness to be interviewed. He was merely doing his job. Even while she might be ruthless even while he
 She took his head between her two slim hands. "Fussbudget" she said.
 There was an interval and then she told him. "Muriel Desmond was here to-day. She liked our child"
 Jealously he demanded, why wouldn't she? Louisas perfect. Like her mother"
 Liane laid her cheek against her husbands. Darling. sometimes I'm frightened, it's all so perfect. Do you suppose you'll always feel this way? I should die if you ever stopped caring"
 Stoutly he cried, But I never shall. I shall love you forever and ever"
 She laughed, exultant, but there were tears in her eyes.

Tourists were not the only people
who came TO Brownsville during
the past eight months.
There were during that period
approximately 100 families added
to the population Of the city. An
average of four OF a family means
an added 400 TO the city's popula-
ton.
This is shown in a census just
completed by the Tourist Depart
ment of the Brownsville Chamber
Of Commerce.
This census records 80 families.
1t is estimated that at least 20 ad-
ditional families have been acded
to the city's population, but we're
missed in the census.
The families are divided into
three groups. according TO reason
for coming TO Brownsville.
In the first group are 10 families
who came here TO live permanently
who have either purchased and i'm
proved property. or who plan to
purchase property.
From England
They are from New York, Penn
~sylvania, Kansas, Nebraska, and
other states. and even from as far
away as England. two families
moving from that country.
Most OF them gave as reasons
for picking Brownsville the climate
here. and the fine opportunities Tor
investment.

sons for picking Brownsville as

Red Indians Not Cxnnibals

Cannibalism was not unknown
among the Indians Of North Amerf.
ca. The almost extinct Tonka-
ways Of Texas have the reputation
of being 'the last of the cannibals,"
and the Attacapas owe their name
to this practice, attributed to them
by their neighbors. Cannibalism has
been rarer In America than is gen.
orally supposed. As one writer says,
"Outside of its occurrence through
necessity in ways known to civil
lied peoples, it was chiefly martial
and ceremonial"
