TN spite Of her exhaustion and
4 loss, Kay slept well. AS she met
Ted Gaynor at the corral the next
morning, life seemed vaguely ex-
citing and full Of promise
Ted had Flicker saddled and
waiting for her, and a few min
utes later they were pounding
across the open bench Of the mesa
toward Red River.
"Was Seth surprised when you
turned up last night2" Kay glanced
Oyer at Ted with that strange feel
ing that she had never seen him
before. It seemed incredible that
he was the desperate man she had
encountered yesterday. His whole
bearing had changed, and he
seemed years younger.
HE certainly was" Ted an
swered with laugh, but he made
the best of it.

my depoSitors, I'd have to make
the same decision"
Kay bit her lip and faced him
with flashing eyes, not daring to
speak for the moment. A sudden
memory of Josh Hastings trium-
plant look when she had spoken
of the insurance, came to her mind.
So he'd known about it all the
time!
What am I to do then, Uncle
Dan?" She made a brave attempt
to be calm under this unexpected
blow. Gan ] borrow enough

She shook her head at him re-
proachfully. You don't suppose
I'd be so easily discouraged as
that, do you? Of course I'm going

to see you about-the insurance. /"
She pulled her policy out of her
pocket, and laid it on the table.
Aren't you proud of me for being
a good enough business woman to
renew it,"
Dan Steele looked from Kay's
bright face to the policy, and his
eyes clouded. He picked il up and
examined it, as though playing for
time, When he finally looked up,
his face was grave, and he cleared
his throat several times.

voice was as troubled as his face.
II wish I didn't have to be the one
to break this news to you, but the
law says that any insurance
money must first be used to pay

DOings Around The
Golf Links
(By CRAvY)
eeeeeeeessseseeeeessesee

One day last week, our GENIAL
Postmaster, who is also known by
numerous other names among
which are Sam and Harris. was
showing off his golf proves to
few select friends. In the last
two holes of play, Sam was feel
ing very much like it was an aus
picious occasion to show his golf
ing ability, took the 18th hole by
sinking his pitch shot from about
SO or so yards off the green. OF
course, that caused mild surprise
to Sans friends as they bet him
on the next hole that he couldn't
do it again Well, Sam made a
mighty walIop of drive except
the ball did not go very far. So
again he swatted same for another
gain of 100 yards. BY this time,
being desperate and still 165 yards
short of the hole and also being
two strokes, our genial Postmas-
ter measured off the distance very
carefully with his No. 2 iron, and
gate the ball neat knock to the
green, up to the cup and down
the hole for a birdie 8. Now, all
who do not believe that story
must do so because Sam had vi.

Mesa and Hartley Albury as Cd.
ponents. Because Cookie and
Hartley won by IL up does NOT

MYSTERIOUS MURDER CASE
WILL LIKELY GO DOWN IN
HISTORY AS tNSOLVED
Fire Destroys Barn
VIM. Mason, Second St.

Firemen responding to call Thurs
day afternoon about $3.50 o'clock
found the large barn, owned by Mr..
Will Mason and located at the rear
of Mr.. Mason's home on Second St.,
Extended, a mass of flames.
Fighting to keep the sparks from
igniting surrounding buildings the
firemen were too late to save the
structure, the fire having gained con-
siderable Roadway before it was dis
covered. Nearby stables caught but
the flames were quickly extinguished.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is attributed to spontaneous
combustion as the building was loaded
with hay. The entire building and
contents with the exception of a trac-
tor in adjoining shed were destroyed.

WILL CONDUCT
BIRTH SURVEY
in MARYLAND
Birth Registrations Assuming
Increasing Importance
Year By Year
SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRI-
BUTING TO IMPORTANCE

The completeness Of the registra-
ton of births in Maryland is to be
tested in a survey to be conducted by
the u. S. Bureau of the Census in
cooperation with the State Depart
ment of Health, in two or more coun-
ties on the Eastern Shore.
In announcing the plans for the sur
vey, DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health explain
ed that it is preliminary to more
comprehensive campaign to obtain as
close to 100 per cent registration In
the state as it is possible to achieve.
"Some areas in the State" he said
already have nearly complete regis
tration; in others, notably the more
rural sections, ito is believed that the
deficiency may prove to be as great
as 10 per cent.
"Birth registration" he continued,
ais assuming increasing Importance
year by year. The demand for infor-
nation relative to birth certificates
has been at least trebled during the
last ten years. Copies Of birth GER
tificates are being demanded for such
purposes as entry.-into school, for
work permits, to establish the right
to inheritance, to secure passports,
to some extent to obtain automobile
drivers license and for many other
uses. The recent social security leg
islation is also making it more essen
tial than ever for every child to be
registered"
The Maryland survey has been plan
ned and will be supervised, DR.. Riley
said, on behalf of the Census Bureau
by DIR. George Dobbs, acting in CO.
operation with DR.. A. w. Hedrich,
Chief of the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics of the State Department of
Health. DR.. John Collinson, who re-
Gently left the Department to become
associated with the Federal Census
Bureau assisted in planning and pro-
noting the project.
