and his chum, Tubby Forbes, are
discussing Bryn's coming marriage.
'rNbby believes it a scheme to get
Bryn's wealth from him. Should the
girl. Deborah, whom Bryn had met
at the office of his attorney, Ted Hol-
worthy. marry Stuart Graham before
her twenty first birthday. she will
inherit vast fortune from her
grandfather. Stuart had greatly dis
pleased Deborah, who refuses to
marry him. Bryn, posing as an un-
employed engineer, offers to marry
Deborah, as Stuart, for $50, 1000, they
not to live as man and wife. Twenty
three years previous, Anne Larned
had eloped with an adventurer on
5he day set for her wedding to
Courtney Graham. Two days after
the birth of her daughter, Anne died
shortly after, the father died. The
iarneds, grandparents, took the child
with them to Oregon where, without
child companions, Deborah grew up.
To safeguard her from some for
tune hunter, her grandfather had
arranged for her to marry Stuart,
son Of Courtney Graham, when of
age. When Deborah was fifteen, her
grandfather died. Securities had
heen set aside to keep the family,
but a market crash left scarcely
enough for them to live on. This was
unknown to Deborah's grandmother.

white porcelain sink beneath the
windows. Gary was there, with a
big, clean apron tied over his trous-
ers, washing up his own breakfast
dishes.

Custard pies should first be
started to bake in a hot oven to
set the crust, then the heat of the
oven should be quickly reduced so
that the custard may cook slowly.
When you have potatoes left
over from a meal do not peel, as
cold potato keeps better with
the jacket on. If peeled, it dries
on the outside and must be
trimmed before using, and that is
wasteful. Also, an economical way
to prepare mashed potatoes is
boil them in their jackets, peel
and then mash.

Turner, the famous English
painter, once ridiculed his own
paintings as a salad was offered

I've done. If I'd come back not

tell her everything. How poor we

Don't you believe in love at first

She Sprang up and faced him.
That's what Gary said you'd start
talking about next" she accused.
II think you might have better

Il suppose he compared me to a
leech. | suppose he couldn't un-
derstand that a young man could

She raised her eyes. "Just min

.cy, and few other qualities which

played toward her was quite sin

She was gazing into his face. A
slow wave of color, quite unlike the
angry flush of a short time ago, be-
gan TO spread up from her throat
over her face. She dropped her
eyes.

for me to have any feeling for you

ragged at him, while he looked down
into her dark eyes, smiling, waiting
for her anger to subside. There

The music stopped abruptly. in the
middle of a bar. Her hands dropped
to her lap, and she stared at him,

said plaintively.

piano stool with a swish of starched
skirt. You may add something ex-
ira to your bill for the trip" she
said cOldly. and turned and went
from the room without a backward
glance.
He went upstairs again and
knocked on Grandmother's door.
She opened it promptly.
Il have to go to town in the car"
Bryn told her. would you care
to put on your bonnet and come?
We could be back by dinner time" -"
Her eyes opened wide. "Go to
Lynndale? l? In the carr"
The road is pretty rough, but
I'll drive carefully. Come on,
Grandmother, let's go on a bust"
why | don't know" Her
hands nuttered helplessly. II have
not been away from here for many
years"
You'll be comfortable. Really"
promised Bryn.
She lifted her chin. She drew
deep breath. Very WELL" she
said at last.
He went downstairs and out to
the car. He started the motor,
turned the car carefully, came to
halt again at the door, and Grand
mother was there. Bryn lifted her
gently and put her do% N in the car.
Bryn stopped the car at the gate.
He pushed the button of the horn.
A long melOdiOuS call rang out. In
stantly Deborah appeared or the
little balcony before her room. Bryn
opened Grandmother's door. and the
old lady leaned out.
I'm going to town, dear" she
cried in her thin old voice, and
sank back again with a sigh. And
Bryn smiled behind his hand at
the expression of Mortified incre-
dulity that had come over Deb
orah's face.
Bryn had finished all the impor-
tant business which had brought
him to town. He had been to the
bank, had identified himself as the
owner of the account transferred
from San Francisco few DAYS ago.
He had been to the poStOtIice and
had posted Tubby's letter, as well
as terse one of his own to Hol-
worthy.
Grandmother was waiting in the
car. She had been sitting there
ever since Bryn had parked the car
when they had reached town, her
eyes wide and excited. From time
to time, he came back to her, two
or three times followed by white
aproned clerks with their arms
piled high with packages which
they placed in the trunk at the rear
of the long car.

By their tails you may know them.
The teeth are very pointed and slen-

The fully grown members reach a

foot sand sharks to be taken. Longer
ones have been reported, but most
likely some other sharks.
Where there are shoal waters the
sand sharks can often be seen. In

Bedtime Stories
Danny Fools Killy.

Now OF course Danny knew oil this
In q way of speaking. he was . pris.
oner. Yes, sir, Danny was q prisoner
So presently he began to look around
to see If there might possibly be some
means of escape. Very carefully and
stealthily he crept around the foot Of
the tree until, as he peeped up, he
could see Killy. Then he lodged
back, for he had felt Killy's sharp
eyes. Yes, sir, he had really felt
them. Anyway, 1t seemed so to him.
Danny went around the trunk of
the three the other way until. as he
peeped around, he could see Killy. So
he had almost circled that tree and
he had found no way Of escape. This
time Killy didn't see him. and this
gave Danny time to look to see II
there was any way Of escape on that
side of the tree. What he saw gave
him hope. The trunk Of that tree was
partly decayed on that side and this
decayed place was partly hollow. and
the hollow led clear to the ground.
There's a chance, and If can get
into that hollow ! can escape"
thought Danny. Perhaps that hol-
low goes down into the roots. II so,
I certainly will be safe. It's chance
worth taking"
So Danny whisked around the tree
and into the hollow on the side. 1t
was none too soon. He was hardly In
when Killy the Sparrow Hawk was
lowering just outside. That hollow
did extend into the ground. Danny
was safe down there. and he knew it.
1t had been a narrow escape, but he
was safe now, and that was all that
mattered.

ground he was on his feet. Danny
NAV look q little clumsy, but ne can
be very quick, indeed, at times. He
was now, and it was lucky for him
that he was. You see, Killy the Spar
row Hawk also can be very quick. Or
course he felt Danny slipping from
his grasp, and the instant that Danny
actually did get free Killy turned in
the air and shot down after Danny.
Now when Danny hit the ground
he didn't stop to look for hiding
place. No, sir, he didn't stop at all,
nor did he run straight away. He hit
the ground and lodged. That's what
Danny did. He lodged. 1t was

Danny lodged just as Killy struck

twisted about in the air to strike
again. Again Danny lodged, and
again he was Just in time.

thought Danny. I'll have a chance.
If I can get that tree between US I
don't believe Killy can catch me-"
So each time he lodged Danny
lodged toward the trunk of that tree.
He was so near it, anyway, that he
had to dodge only two or three times
before he reached it.
Then he darted around the tree,
and for the minute he was safe. Killy

and from there he kept watch. He
felt sure that sooner or later Danny
would show himself. You see, so
long as he remained hidden by the
trunk of the tree there was no way
for Danny to know If Killy was still
keeping watch. So now 1t became a
eatter Of patience. If Danny should
