the battle!
Thereafter Alester kept his eyes open
and figured things out for himself. In
between regular stops he managed To
spend few hours occasionally at the
Lakeview Beach, and he soon discov-
cred that Frank worked in the city,
and consequently spent only week ends
at the resort Alester, of course, made
capital of the fact
Soon he came to know that Della
| loved all the sports that the vacation
| spot offered, SO Alester went to work
on that angle. Rides in the early
morning, golf. tennis, swimming and a
| half dozen other recreationS began to
| take up the time he cheerfully gave,
even at the partial expense of his busi-
ness, to the lovely Della
* X X
GRADUALLY Alester began to be-
come exceedingly intrigued by
the continued air Of sisterly COM
| panionShip which Della took care
| to maintain with him Never in
| his admittedly varied experience had
he eXerted his wiles upon feminine
subject without getting some sort of
! definite reaction to his efforts! The
ordinary girl, he knew by test, would
| long ago have asserted herself either
| positively or negatively. and here was
| Della taking everything in her stride
and giving out no knowledge whatever
of how she felt about him!
| AleSter thought long and deeply
| about the matter. The long Summer
| was nearly at its end and the most
glamorous proposition in selling him.
| self to prospect he had ever encoun-
| tered was still in a neutral state
! Force OF habit caused him to stop and
take stock of things to determine lust
/ what the sales resistance euotient con-
sisted Of And finally he came to the
conclusion that he would now launch
the direct-attack system, having ex-
hausted everything else.

| a CCORD1NGLY, that Saturday he
showed up at the pool on the west
| lawn with the fire of determination in
his eye. He found Della in the CEN
! ter Of the usual crowd of young men
and girls And as usual he disregard
ed Franks baleful glance and ue-
empted Della for a swim
! But 1t wasn't until they had climbed
out to the edge Of the pool that Alester
sprung his coup d'etat. Audacity!
That was it! He grasped the surprised
! Della suddenly, and before the whole
crowd kissed her ardently and thor
| oughly!
Surprisingly, he found himself spun
around by fierce grip on his shoulder
and Immediately thereafter hurting
through the air into the pool at the
receiving end Of tremendous, scien-
| tlflc Wallop! He climbed out with an
aching jaw to find Frank awaiting him
belllgerently and Della beside him with
an enigmatic look in her eyes.

~ VEIL has the long-leaf pine
a | been called the aristocrat
wv of the Southern pines. On
the light sandy soils of the
coastal plain, from Southeastern Vir-
ginia to Western Texas, this lofty
ranger reaches height of 100 to 100
feet.
Before you stretch the glorious
months in which you may find many
of your friends of the open spaces.
When you go among them, really do
your best to become so well acquainted
with your tree neighbors that you will
recognize them anywhere you see them.
You will feel so much part of the
outdoors that you return refreshed in
body and soul, each time you have
this blessed privilege.
Once upon time when we inherited
the original Southern pine forest, the
1ong-leaf pine far outnumbered the
loblolly, slash pines and the short
leafed At that time the long-leaf
held the position in national impor-
tance that the Douglas fir does today.
The temperature and the rainfall
provided in the southeastern part of
Virginia through North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi Louisiana and Eastern
Texas, enables the long-leaf to do it's
best. For the soil is moist and well
drained, the loan is sandy and deep,
or in some locations, sandy and gravel
ly which they like equally as we'll
The leaves or needles are from to
18 inches long, in bundles of three
They drop off at the end of their sec
ond season.
Like all other pines, these trees are
3ather-mother trees-that is, male and
female flowers are to be found on each
tree. In the early Spring inspect your
1ong-leaf pine and you will see dark,
rose-colored catkins circling the base
of young shoots. They have an album
dance of pollen, the valuable golden
grains, needed to fertilize the female
flowers (pistillated. They are to be
found in pairs or small clusters, near
or at the end of the upper branches.
Godfather Wind shakes the golden
dust from the ripe male flowers
Clouds of it are floating over the trees,
enough reaching the waiting pistillate
flower. The male flowers shrivel up as
soon as the pollen floats away The
second season at the place where the
female flowers were seen there will
be found cones to 10 inches long
When the seed children are ripe they
are provided with wings, and under
each cone scale viii be twins. They
travel on the swift, bracing breeze to
new homes, where they will in a short
time show what fine stuff they are
made of by growing into sturdy, up
right youngsters.
The healt-wood is a light red to
orange, very hard, durable and strong.

very thin, ivory -oolored layer of sap

an order for things they wouldn't have
dreamed of purchasing from any one
else, things for which they had no
actual use.
Alester wasn't a bad-looking chap,
just pushing on his early sos A natu-
raj arrogance had been cleverly trans
posed to fit his own needs, and now
what the general public saw was not
forwardness but subtle indication Of
elan coupled with smooth line Of
chatter. Even his company had
learned to leave Alester to his own
devices
1t is not to be supposed that Alester
himself was without a knowledge Of
his attributes. Indeed, almost every
thing Alester did or said was the result
of some previous thought as to just
how it should be done or said He was
grandstand player Of the more sue
cessful type, inaSmuch as people didn't
catch on.
Alester had been making weekly
stop at the Lakeview Beach resort for
half the season when he first saw
Della. She was sitting on the resort
verandah, indifferently Haunting a
neat pair of fiamboyant beach pa
mas under one of those big, foppy
beach hats when he came out OF the
hotel door
He stopped momentarily, realizing
instantly that this was an occasion.
He was being permitted to gaze unac-
customedly upon real work of beauty
Carefully he stored the knowledge
away.
by THE time he had made the rest
of his territory and came back to
the LakevieW Beach, Alester had
thought things out very carefully. Un-
fortunately, his one weakness was van
ity, which was rather understandable
1t was not for nothing that Alester
had labored with his gifted tongue and
asserted his manly figure about the
environs of Lake County, as host of
girls could testify!
He was certainly no bungler in those
matters. His first step toward adding
Della to his collection of beauties was
to be introduced, of course He chose
the hour when he knew that every
able-bodied person at the hotel would
be in or around the Grecian swimming
pool on the west lawn, to make the
initial move
He thought that the gorgeous girl
rested her eyes upon him more than
f1eetingly when he appeared in the
swimming trunks and beach role he
had wangled from the manager But
true to the formula. he disported him.

people. This is Della. and Frank

names meant little to Alester. He
concentrated upon Della, giving her
the cream of his style, and before long

a GANG of bank robbers planned 70
rob an outlying bank of city and
were discussing the best time to do the
job. They knew that two police squads
patrolled the street the bank was on
from the center Of town to the end
where the bank was located. Each
squad took 25 minutes from one end
to the other and stayed 5 minutes at
each end. After making their decision
the gang put their plan into execution
the following night. They had decided
to hit the bank Just as the police
squads passed each other. At midnight
the squad near the bank started for
town and when they got taree-quarters
of the way to town they found the
other squad with fat tire which eX-
