 "I love it," she replied in her odd throaty voice, the kind of voice one would expect her to have.
 "It is beautiful" he said. "but not half as beautiful as you are. You're gorgeous tonight, Jean"

 T love you, Jean," he said quiets ly, and knew that she was trem. bling.
 He wondered how many men had told her that, wondered resent. ment.
 "Youve heard that before, of course," he said. Do you ever grow tired of hearing it?"
 What woman would ?" she coun- tered, turning her full face to him.
 How many stop with saying - just that?"
 She looked at him quickly. "Jean! Jean!" he cried, "why can't we--you and I-" She stopped him with gesture. "I know" she said wearily, "just you and - a man - a woman - away from the world. that it, isn't it?"
 "Jean!"

 Jeffrey Lansdowne had heard Hubby Whitfield wax enthusiastic on the subject of women before, so he turned disinterestedly for 8 glance at Tubby's round, pink face before he allowed his eyes to fol- low the boys pointing finger across the sunsplashed pool to the diving tower.
 Poised on the edge of the top most springboard was girl a slim, lisome creature in an emer- ald-green bathing suit. As Lands downe looked, she left the board lightly, to float like an arrow of vivid green and velvety whiteness into the water.

 "Gosh--" Tubby's enthusiasm rendered him inarticulate. Gosh
 Lansdowne's eyes followed the linn figure until she dis appeared in the crowd on the oppo- site edge.
 "Boyw Tubby's voice held the quality of awe that comes to one who has been privileged to look up- on a goddess. Isn't she wow?" "Who is she?" Lansdowne asked. The expression of ineffable sad- ness that rested upon the boys cherubic countenance deepened. "Her name" he grinned sheep 1shly, "is Jean Lanton and she seems to be pretty well satisfied with it."
 "Jean Lanton," Lansdowne re- peated softly. That's pretty name, Hubby. Tell me, have all the young fellows around here had the same luck-with Miss Lanton?" "Yes," Hubby admitted, grateful for the company that misery loves, "she can't see any of 'em with a telescope"
 Lansdowne was silent for a mo- ! ment.
 "How long has she been here Tubby?'
 About eight weeks. Funny you haven't met her." "Oh, l don't know-Tve been here only about a week, and most of that time I've spent in the noun
 tains."
 "Yeah," Hubby agreed readily
 You're such q bug on climbing mountains and poking into out-of- the way places-' The boy broke off suddenly and
 let his eyes run over the bronzed features of the older man, saw the
 firm jaw, the clear gray eyes, the 1.-the, athletic build. "Say!" he cried, "why don't you take q whirl at her yourself?" "I think" Lansdowne said slow ly, "that l shall do just that" Hubby, watching, was amazed tt . see the odd light that famed in the others eyes.

Upon leaving high school he obtained work
in the woods and injured himself with an axe
Such are the vagaries of the poor his family
insisted that he had deliberately caused the
injury to avoid work.
He entered the university at seventeen. He
seems to have been interested in little besides

He ran away from home the next year. He
did not 60 far. Changing his mind. he went
to his brothers home in Portland, Oregon.
This brother promptly returned the future
crooner to his family.
He had been drummer in high school
orchestra, where friend, AL Rinker, had
played the piano. They formed band, and
played lat parties, ice cream parlors, tea

he bought complete trap drum outfit from

somebody's record. Occasionally Rinker or I
would do vocal solo, or even duet. Nobody
seemed to object, so we worked up some trick

The manager of local theater heard the

In meeting January 10 the Stu

"any person entering school after the
regular term begins must still pay

they will receive the back copies of

The subject of whether or not there

Scoop to beat:
Bright and early one cold and frosty
morning last week when the thermom-
eter was lowering around zero or a
little bleow, our good friend and
neighbor, Jacob Bethel, arose from
his warm bed and hied himself out to
build fire and heat water in prepara-
ton for butchering a porker which he
was to have dressed at an early hour.
Having all in readiness-water heat
ed, butcher present, knives sharpened
and gun loaded, they proceeded to the
pig pen for their meat, when to their
surprise the porker, probably sens
ing the danger, had made an early es-
cape. After much phoning and inquiry
the porker was located several miles
from home and friend Jacob went out
over the mountain singing happily:
Where, oh where, has my porker gone;
Oh where, oh where, can it be?
If l get you back, I'll sure make some
tracks,
And tie you to that old apple tree.
