SYNOPSIS
Copyright by The Penn Publishing Co.

Prudence Schuyler comes to Prosper
ity Farm to make new life for her
self and her brother. David, his health
broken by tragedy. The second day
Prue falls from the barn loft into the
arms OF Rodney Gerard, rich young
man, neighbor. There is at once a
mutual attraction, but Prudence sus-
poets men since her sisters husband
ran away with her brothers wife. Len
Galloway tries to buy Prue's timber,
but she contracts with Rod to dis
pose of the trees. David comes to the
farm. Prue accompanies Rod and Jean,
Rods thirteen-year-old niece, to cir
Gus. Chicot, an old clown, is accident
ally killed. He was the grandfather
of Milly Gooch, one of the circus
riders. Rod became friendly with Milly
when she lived on Prosperity Farm.
Galloway intimidates laborers SO that
they cannot be hired to cut tho tim
Der for Rodney Gerard. After Chicot's
death Rod calls on Milly to see II he
can be of any help. Prue sees in a
newspaper fiashlight picture ct him
with Milly. Rodney goes to New York
for timber cutters, taking David with
him to help ss'ect men from among
the Rescue Mission hangers-on. Rod
sends word of his coming, with a crew
OF laborers. To keep the knowledge of
the workers arrival from Galloway,
prudence enters her timber tract with
him on the pretense of bargaining on
the numbering. He confines her in a
cabin. An escaped convict appears
and -robs Prudence Of her pearls. Then
Rod arrives and holds a gun on CAL
ioway and the convict recovering the
Jewels. Escorting Prue home, Gerard
assumes something of domineering
attitude, which the girl resents, and
In Z spirit of defiance she tells him
she IL engaged to Jim Armstrong, Rod
neys closest friend. Twenty-Five men
are brought to the forest and put
to work.

Life in Crowded City
Leads to Individ,lalism

II effect upon the human race of
the cluttering together in huge cities
is not easy to foretell, says writer
in the Montreal Herald. I know, of
course, that In the woods where trees
crowd together too closely they grow
up slender and spindling, to the loss
Of rugged strength. I suppose 1t is
true that the human race likewise
deteriorates when crowded together
too closely. But on the other hand
there should be advantage. If knowl-
edge Is power cities should develop
power, for knowledge of man by man
is exceedingly possible where men
are thrown closely together. Mutual
ity ought to grow, the pressure OF
numbers should weld people together
in closer communion. AS matter
of fact it does not. People in the
back settlements are much more
friendly than those In the towns.
There is probably more ignorance
about worthwhile things in sthe city
than in the country, certainly as
much If not more selfishness. Curl
ously enough, the city seems to
promote individuallsm more than
does the country. The city individual
lives to himself. He does not know,
nor care to know his next door
neighbor. He will deal with mer-
chant for 20 years without knowing
him. He Is concerned with the pro-
motion of his own interests. And
that is not good for person or for
his world. Individualism can never
better the race very much. Nothing
can but cooperation. Country folk
are learning that more quickly than
townsfolk.

hung around for few minutes to make
sure they were on; then l beat 1t. No
chance Of flop now, the carts
backed up, you win. Don't stall, Gallo
way, come across with the money you
promised when you wrote asking me
to come to High Lodges to do little
work for you. Cash on delivery, re-
member-but, of course, you won't
stall, you're such an honest man."
There was sardonic mirth In Wal
ter Gerard's voice and hint of hatred
"Oh, all right. I'll pay. Here's your
money"
Prudence crept ON hands and knees
to the doorway. She must watch the
passing Of that money. Someone
would pay for the destruction Of the
truck belonging to the firm Of Schuy-
Ter and Gerard, and it wouldn't be
either of the partners.
Crouched in the dusk, she watched
the two men standing within the
radius Of light from an oil lantern on
the forge. A knitted cap was pulled
low over Calloway's ears. Facing
him, Walter Gerard counted the bills
In hand.
"Okay. Now I'll light out. I'm not
| going back to the house. I'll catch
q ride
A tap on the window! Another tap!
Put out that light"
The harsh whisper was Walter Ger
ards. The shop went dark. Pru-
dence tiptoed to the wood pile. She
misjudged the distance, struck 1t.
With sickening moderation and rum
BILE the sticks began to slide.
She held her breath. Now what
would happen? Someone was breath
ing hard at the lean-to opening.
"Find out who's at that window,
Walt" 1t was Calloway's hoarse low
voice; she couldn't mistake it. "I'll
take care of the snooper hiding in
| here"

my word? I may be hard man, but
I'm just. Milly Gooch Is at the Puff
fers. suppose she's come to see
Rod
'Milly-'
"That was all l heard Father say,
for the door closed. I waited till I
was sure they were gone. Then I
sneaked out and made Patch drive me
over here"
Prudence crossed to the window. So
-Milly Gooch had arrived on the
scene. Now what would happen? She
thrust the thought of the circus rider
into the back of her mind and said
without turning:
"Repeat what Galloway said about
meeting your father, JEAN"
"Tonight at the old smithy.
Eight"
Eight o'clock? Are you sure?"
"Yep."
"Where's the smithy?"
HE meant the old blacksmith shop.
When Grandfather ran a big farm he
had the horses shod there. Uncle Rod
keeps it in repair because he thinks
it's interesting"
Perhaps Mr.. Galloway has en-
gagged your father to boss lumber
crew for him."
Payment on delivery doesn't sound
like that kind Of job. Father boss
a crew? Don't be dumb! It's some
thing else. You don't think it is any
thing that will hurt Uncle Rod, do you,
Miss Prue?"
"Of course not. Perhaps they are
planning party for-for Milly Gooch.

mats just what II Is. weren't we
foolish not to think of it before? Ely
the way, Jean, tell me again where TO
find that blacksmith shop"
Before the mirror in her room Pru-
dence zippered the jacket of her ski
suit over the orange shirt. She pulled
on warm oversocks, fastened heavy
boots, while her thoughts ran on:
what luck that Dave phoned he
was dining at High Lodges. He would
go into the air if he knew what I am
about to do. What he doesn't know

Macky 60 to the early movie with the
Puffers, and presto, the way was
cleared for my personally conducted
expedition to the smithy to find out
what the rendezvous of Galloway and
Walter Gerard means. can't get lost
The snow is marked with ski-tracks
No danger Of meeting anyone. Eight
o'clock is zero hour. How soon should
start? l ought to be parked long
before the conspirators arrive"
She counted the strokes of the. old
clock in the hall. Seven. Better get
going. She thrust fashlight into the
pocket Of her trousers. In the back
hall she frowned appraisingly at the
collection Of impedimenta hanging and
leaning against the walls.
Skis or snowshoes?" She visual
ized steep declivity. "The skis have
It," she decided, and shouldered a
pair. Poles in hand, she stole around
the house to the road.
With frequent pauses to listen, she
entered the old lumber road that
wound up to the sky line. She looked
back. What was that? A shadow
across a patch of light She waited.
Held her breath. Would 1t come
again? No. Must have been a vine
swaying.
Resolutely she turned her back on
warmth and security and slipped and
stumbled over the rough road whose
hidden pitfalls were tricked out with
spotless snow. Was she doing a crazy
thing to try to find out what Walter
Gerard and Galloway were scheming
about? She was not. In spite of her
reinsurance to Jean, she was convinced
that they were conniving against the
lumber firm of Schuyler and Gerard.
That being the case, it was her Job to
find out what it was all about, wasn't
It?
She adjusted her skis, picked up her
poles, and slid on between serried
phalanxes Of evergreens. She had q
prickling sense that she was not alone
In the wods. Had shadow slipped

White House Families"

Three families have sent two
Presidents each to the White House.
The Adams family Of Massachusetts
sent John Adams to the White House
from 1897 to 1901. He was Fed
eralist. His son, John Quincy Adams,
Republican, served one Presidential
term, beginning in 1925. William
Henry Harrison, Wing, was Presi-
dent from March 4, to April Ia, 1841,
when he died. His grandson, Benja-
min Harrison, Republican, was Pres
ident from 1889 to 1893. The Roose-
welt family Of New York was in the
White House in the person Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Republican, from
1901 to 1909. And his fifth cousin,
the Democratic President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, was elected In 1882.

and the humidity controlled to a
very high percentage for the ripen-
ing process. The air conditions in
the ripening room are not unlike
the fruits native tropical climate.
Ethylene gas Is used at times to
assist the ripening process and to
bring the fruit to the proper color.
The process Is much the same for
many other fruits and vegetables
which are now artiflcially ripened
for the market, a method which, 1t
Is claimed, actually improves the
flavor Of the articles.

In the midst of the deafening re-
Spouse Prue started down the trail to
her car parked on the road. Body and
mind were in tumult. When Rodney
Gerard had flung himself under that
falling tree, the world had stopped for
her. Nothing, nothing mattered If he
were safe, she had vowed passion
ately.
AS she stepped from the car, Jean
flung herself upon her.
"Oh, Miss Prue! Miss Prue! I'm
so glad you've come!' Her breath
caught in a sob. i've got something
cagey to tell you'll"
Prue laid an arm across the fur
covered shoulders.
"Don't get jittery, dear. Come into
the house and tell me about it."
Jean closed both doors. "Can any
one hear?"
Impatient at her temperamental re-
Spouse to Jeans histrionics, Prudence
shook her head vigorously.
"All rightly. Come over by the
mantel."
Standing close, she whispered:

CONTINENTAL USES UNIQUE ADVERTISING

One OF the most unusual and dram
attic ways ever conceived to exploit
the use Of newspaper advertising has
been adopted by the Continental Oh
Company. A novel contest has been
inaugurated whereby during the conn
ing Spring months cars and trucks
will be seen OH the streets and high
ways of some forty states plastered
In hOdge-podge compelling fashion
with reprints OF Continental's news.
paper advertisements.
Jack Ktelstrup, district manager,
has his car decked out and 1t LOOKS
like q travelling billboard.
In addition to the circulation OF
ten million that Continental Oil
Company gets for ITS advertising by
using 1858 daily and weekly news
papers, Continental's advertisements
through this unique stunt will do
double dirty this Spring.
The unique appearance OF Contin-
entail cars and trucks not only serves
to call attention to the Conoco cam
paign now running in newspapers,
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1935-04-18

but also reminds Conoco statesmen OF
the tremendous number of car own
ers who read about Conoco products
throughout the year In their news-
PAPERS.
It Is estimated that more than
5000 r and trucks will participate
In the stunt. Aside from these COM
pany-owned and operated vehicles, It
is expected that a good percentage of
the $4,000 Conoco dealers will like
wise participate.
Continental Is M OF the cOuntrys
largest of newspaper advertis-
ing and gives this medium a large
share OF the credit In achieving an
increase Of 60.4 percent In sales OF
Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil
since April, 1884.
Continental this year is celebrat-
ing It's sdNtieth anniversary. 1t began
