"We're going riding" he said,

Island. Go upstairs and see
what Santa brought you"
She ran up the stairs under
the friendly eyes of the man
wilkins. In the bedroom she
found a suitcase, fitted,
stamped with her initials; and
in the suitcase a winter sports
outfit, stockings, sweater, scarf,
beret, chamois coat, amusing
trousers, glovers.

to him.

Presently, the suitcase and
one of his were put in the car.
They drove out of town swiftly

white Christmas. Lighted trees
shone from the windows of
apartments and houses and
from churchyardS.
It's beautiful" said Lynn,
listening to the chimes.
They had left the town be-
hind them. There was little
traffic and Dwight drove fast.
Beyond Great Neck he turned
into a long, snow-rutted lane.
Trees laden with snow,
frosty, cleaning, bordered it on
either side. A turn, and there
was a house waiting, a house
from an old-fashioned Christ
mas card. Every window was
lighted; they wore wreaths of
holly: there were two lighted
trees outside. AS Lynn got out
of the car she heard voices,
laughter.

Host and Hostess
She did like them. Their
hostess. a fat woman, had the
skin of a child, the wide blue

husband, was lean, bronZed.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN


! We talked it over one day on
the famous veranda of the
Hotel Raffles in Singapore-my
friend Joe Winter and myself.
1t was an appropriate place.
For the veranda of the Raffles
is the social capital Of Singa-
pore and Singapore is the CEN
ter of everything in the FEEDER
ated Malay States and Straits
Settlements.
Joe Winter was the manager
of a big rubber plantation SO
miles north of Singapore. I had
recently made a minor contrl'
button to it-an Airedale ] had
brought from America-and Joe
was almost EN- b a rrasSingly
grateful. Every planter likes to
have at least one good dog on
mis- place. The type of dog avail
able in Johore is stupid mon
grel, so Joe welcomed the gift
Of the smart and loVable
"Bunkie," to which he soon be-
came attached. Dog and mas
ter were inseparable, and my
friend, placing too high a val
uation on my gift, never could
do enough for me.
Joe, over a gin sling, was &C.
cusing me of being unsociable-
or unbuSineSslike. Or both. He
was pointing out that several
weeks had elapsed since I had
visited him at the plantation.
If 1 wanted to deprive myself
of fine home cooked meals-Joe
had one of the best cooks in
the East-all we'll end good.
It's a mans privilege to give his
stomach a raw deal if he wants
to.
But a chap has no right
neglecting his business, and II
I didn't see the wisdom OF TAX

his company was clearing of
another thousand acres to be

A Big Job
"I didn't know you had that
Job under way" I spoke up. I
remembered, of course, that
Joe's company had long been
considering the advisability OF
clearing off another huge tract
of heavy jungle.
Joe accused me OF not know
ing what was going on. His COM
pany, he said, had recently
made a deal with a contractor
who specialized in clearing OIL
heavy jungle, and even now 30
choppers were at work remov-
ing the big trees and thick
brush.

worn over a chiffon afternoon

even be worn for an informal

your accessories, and you've

of course there's nothing more

MAN Who ROBBED BORREE
Store IN 1880 CAPTURED

Tom Lewis who, with Ray
Gorham, robbed the Borree
Corner store in 1899, is in a
Texas jail awaiting trial on a
burglary charge, according to a
telegram received by Sheriff
Walter Laveen the early part
of this week. He was located
at Uvalda, Texas, by finger
prints. The telegram notify ng
Pinal authorities of the capture
of Lewis contained the further
information that it is unlikely
that Texas will relinguish him
to Arizona authorities until af-
ter he has served time for the
crime for which he is now un-
der arrest.
Following the arrest of Lewis
and Gorham for the Borree
store job Gorham entered a plea
of guilty and is now serving a
sentence of 3 to years in the
state prison. Lewis, however,
made his escape from jail on the
night of February 8, 1881, by
saving his way out of the tanks
and then to the outer wall to
freedom. Since Texas seems
inclined to hold Lewis for trial
it is unlikely that an attempt
will be made to return him to

Discovers Evidence or
Old Hawaiian Culture

Paved stone foot trails extending
over the widest and rockiest
stretches of lava, artificial fish
ponds, which are formed by building
barrier of rock across a narrow
bay or cove, and Fairgrounds repre-
sented by prepared tracks down
grassy slopes for sled coasting are
among the accomplishments of for
gotten culture found by w. NJ.
Walker of the bureau of American
ethnology on the almost deserted
island of Maui in the Hawaiian
group.
He also found sites of 23O altar
places, usually on headlands over
looking the sea and oriented
towards the ocean, which evidently
had prominent place in the old re-
ligion. The largest of these was
more than 400 feet long and had a
terraced slope 500 feet high extend
ing over the edge of the hill. Much
of this culture, especially the paved
trails, is attributed by the natives
to the genius of legendary hero.
