Therefore. take inventory of your
face in a mirror. And have a good
light on the situation 50 that you can
distinguish your virtues.
For example, if eyes are your special
attribute, eye cosmetics should hold
an important place among your make
up accessories. Blue-green eyeshadow
is generally hattering. Put it on in
long line. tapering it out beyond the
corner of the eyes. To get that lam
guorous look, make the eyeshadow
heavier near the lashes. With an eye
brow pencil always accent the line of
the brows. If your eyebrows are
fortunately natural use little
brush or comb to smooth them cor
rectly in place.
Should you decide that your mouth
is your best facial characteristic,

She stopped speaking because he

unconscious of her, until he spoke
again suddenly: Your job is to stand
by the man of your choice. That isn't
running away. Stand by him. Share
what's coming to him."
Marquise hesitated between pride
and impulse She spoke calmly but
her eyes were wild: Are those orders"

"Your orders?'
Yes
She laughed then. 1t sounded like

There was new tumult. The invisible
drums were laundering crescendo.
Goddard's voice, louder than
through a megaphone - the voice
that made guns obey when the thun-

Haigh moved like lightning. Mar
quise with him. Down went a swath
of bearded riflemen. spread-eagled,
sprawling in the crowd below the
platform. Haigh shouldered them
away like ninepins. Before Goddard's
last word of command could leave his
lips Haigh stood with arms extended,
Marquise beside him. in the full glare
of the headlights, in the way OF the
machine-gun
"As you were" Haigh's voice was
uuieter than Goddard S. but it carried.

1t commanded. Silence. Dying drum
beat. Then Goddard's voice: "Haigh,
I'm your senior. Come down off that
platform. Bring Marquise and the
Guru. I'll cover you with the machine
gun"
The eGuru appeared and stood beside
Marquise. Haigh spoke: Goddard,
the commands mine"
Goddard laughed. 1T Uas your
command, Haigh. until you abandoned
it. l took over in your absence"
Haigh accepted the challenge:
"Naik"
"Ha, Sahib?"
"What are your orders?
Generals orders to obey you,
Sahib."
''Unloadr'
There came the click of breech-locks.
Unload that machine -gun!'
Someone obeyed in the dark. Then
Goddard's voice: "Haigh. if we get
out of this alive. III have you court
martialled!'
meanwhile, Goddard, you're a
casualty. The naik is second-in-com-
mand. Naik'
"Ha, Sahib9"
Lay down your rifles. Be ready to
retire at the word of command"
"Ha, Sahib."
The man on the tree stump began
to howl for action. but the crowd was
watching Haigh's right hand. They
demanded silence. Even the drum
beat ceased. Haigh spoke to the crowd:
This was unfortunate. promised
there should be no reprisals for this
nights foolishness if you'd all 60 home.
Then this happened. 1t was mistake.
l am now keeping my promise. Get
out of the way. That truck and those
armed men shall return to Mt. Abu."
Silence. Murmur. Mood changed.
Crisis melted into new sensation. Some
started homeward. The mistaken
torches lost anger Men we're thinking.
And then suddenly Goddard got
down from the truck. He had no
weapon. He came limping along. The
Guru cried shame, and two villagers
offered Goddard their shoulders. He
put a hand on each of them and came
and looked up, smiling at Marquise.
He ignored Haigh. Coming with me,
Blue Eyes?"
Marquise glanced at Haigh. He
smiled. The crowd was breathless,

A passage opened.
Marquise and the Guru walked to-

which the moths swan. Torchlight
glowed in the outer darkness. Silence
fell. Then suddenly. from the gloom
beyond the trucks headlights,
Goddard's voice, resolute, resonant:
Keep your heads now. Wait for it.

Goddard's voice growled on note
of impatience: "As you werer'

The armed men on the platform surged

standing near the edge of the zone of
light at the left end of the platform.
His eyes acknowledged her.
There was breathless suspense, but
no silence. The Guru was arguing
with fierce bronze villagers. Their fire.

shikd1is - tiger -slayers. They had
faced death hundred times. They
had no particular respect for human

Goddard's voice exploded, sudden
and strong, from the darkness beyond
the headlights: Look sharp, Haigh.
Bring that Guru with you. He's

Haigh raised his right hand. Nothing
spectacular. But it gained priceless
seconds. All eyes were on Haigh. The
Guru watched him. Marquise watched
his eyes and tried, with all the pride
she had, to mask emotion in her own.
Her voice was as reserved as his: Il

to reach the truck. They won't harm
him again. He can protect me-"
You'd be safe in the truck" Haigh
answered. There's a clear line of

he had read every tell-tale change in

controlled ironic note: "Haigh. if
you're afraid, III send two men to"
Yells drowned the rest of that. Too
many of the mob knew English. They
made it plain: if man moved from
the truck they would kill him. But
again Haigh raised his right hand. And
because no one knew what he would
do, they grew silent.
Marquise spoke again: Il can try

Haigh interrupted. Iron reserve sud-

shake the CRATES gently, stopping
when the first red glow shows in
the ashpit.
Then refuel the fire, remember
ing to fill the firebox to the level
of the bottom of the fire door.
This will provide a deep fire,
which is considerably more eco
nomical than a shallow one, for it
burns less coal and lasts a longer
period of time. Also, it minimizes
the attention you have to give a
shallow fire in trying to revive it.

Stormy Days in Capital

D ETURNING from his fishing trip
IN in Florida waters with an IN
fected gum, President Roosevelt
was confronted with a situation
that was decidedly disconcerting.
What has been called the Roosevelt
depression was becoming still more
depressed and congress seemingly
couldn't make up its mind what to
do about it. The demand for tax
revisions that would assist business
out of the slump was insistent, and
so was the necessity of balancing
the budget. Passage of the four
administration must" measures
appeared to be impossible during
the extraordinary session. All of
them were opposed by various blocs
of the majority party as well as by
the Republican minority.
The senate's farm bill seemed to
have the best chance to get through,
but it differed so radically from the
house measure that it was certain
a conference committee would have
to try to find a common ground.
Secretary Wallace was reported
dissatisfied with both senate and
house bills. One official close to
him said Wallace might urge Pres
ident Roosevelt to veto any bill
finally enacted which approximated
either the senate or house measure.
Democrats were so badly split
over the wage-hour bill that hope of
passing it before the regular session
of congress was about abandoned.
Labor. too, was divided concerning
this measure, the A. F. of L. OPP
posing it and the c. I. o. advocating
its passage. The federation offered
its own version, calling for fiat 40
cents an hour minimum wage and a
40 hour maximum work week. The
house bill was finally rescued from
the rules committee by petition.
House Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn, Democrat, Texas, went ahead
with plans to whip administration
support behind the house measure.
He said that fewer than 100 votes
would be cast against the bill in it's
present form but warned that
amendments which would make it's
wage-hour provisions more rigid
might shunt the measure back to
the labor committee and delay a
vote indefinitely.

Court of Appeals was endangered
because it was thought from his writ
ings that he did not believe in judicial
review. However, he appeared be-
fore the senate subcommittee, con-
sisting of Senators Borah, Burke and

courts to declare legislative enact
ments unconstitutional he said:

ly established as legitimate part

which was intended by the great ma

court for any declaration of the
validity of that part of our consti-
tutional system"
