year. He was made Cardinal

claimed temporal sovereignty, Plus
I TX is the first pontiff since 1870
to obtain recognition from Italy
of his independent authority in the
Vatican City dominions.

We know that Betty will go far on
the road to success because of the
ability, sincerity and straightforward
ness she possesses.
Miss Cullen

garet Cullen is the last of the high

Miss Cullen was born and reared
in Pocomoke and received her elemen-
tary and high school education here.
Later she entered William and Mary
College which is located in Williams

horseback riding.
She has character, personality, and
ability, is enormously capable and con
scientious. She is an inspiration to
her pupils with her outstanding charm

a foundation of her interest in her

to her their sincerest good wishes.

Tn Spaniards worked a mine. But that was a hundred year or so ago, the man said. This Percy wouldn't been born. He's just full of superstition. That's how come the mountain got its name. likely"
 This seemed to be logical summary of the situation. The three men turned their conversa- tion to Carolee.

CHAPTER HI
{Xs63Ik Arnold

At Apache Junction. 36 miles from Phoenix, the Golfers took the left and moved along the road that skirts the north base of Supersti- ton Mountain. The father had made some inquiries, learning that suuatters would be tolerated for a time almost anywhere along the mountain slopes. This was part of a national forest. They pulled off the main road and drove nearly six miles across the gently sloping desert.
 When they made camp for the night they were at the fot of a cliff that must have been 1000 feet straight up. It somehow awed them, shrinking them to animated minutiae and making their khaki tent a mere brown speck in the forest.
 Carolee threw back her head and shouted "HELL-O-O", but they were to close for an echo.
 "Cain't you help cook no sup per?" her father demanded.
 They stayed there three days, while the men searched for a more permanent campsite. They want ed to get in deeper, and they event.

Her temper flashed quickly then.
 What if I did ask about him?" she challenged. He's the only man who's been decent to me since left school. And you even tried to kill him. You've dragged mother and me a thousand miles from home and stuck us up on a mountain. Do you think I want to be a hermit?"
 Nobody answered immediately None of the other Golfers could keep conversational pace with Carolee, whom they loved in a strange fashion, enough to have sent her through a junior college, and who had grown too far away from them. Old man Golfer re- newed chew of tobacco, labored at it and Spat.
 We are up here after gold" he reminded her laconically. Court in don't figger in this"
