Stones Run Back to Roman Occupation;
to Be Used in London Transport Memorial

London Transport has decided
to erect memorial to a Roman
Procurator, who will be commence
rated by two stones built into the
wall Of the sub-station at Tower hill.
When the Metropolitan half of the
Inner Circle railway was extended
to the Tower of London station in
1882, 70 feet Of Roman wall were
destroyed. The only consolation for
the loss, says the London Times, is
that the wall was photographed
carefully. 1t is shown by the Com.
missioners for Historical Monu-
ments in their third volume on Ro-
man London. The link with the Dis
trict railway at Mansion House was
completed in 1884, whereupon the
Tower station was closed and Mark
Lane station took its place. TIE site
remained undisturbed until recent
ly, when a sub-station was built on
the cutting to the east OF the old
Tower station.
A rich store of Roman remains
was unearthed by the excavators,
most remarkable being a stone bear
ing beautiful and perfectly pre-
served lettering. Archeologists re-
ported that similar stone had been
found on the site in 1852. 1t was in
the British museum, but had not

mo, Horse; it isn't good. This is
maybe the worst thing that any of
us have come to, ever, in all our
long trails"
Held in that sharp, hard silence
that could clamp down so suddenly
here they could feel the chill of the
walls. Wheeler was seeking way
to go on.
Marian was holding her uncle's
hand against her cheek, and now
Horse drew his hand away. Billy"
he said; and hesitated. Then,
"Speak out, mani" he said at last.
"Two-three different things have
happened" Wheeler said. Marian
and found Lon Magoon dead, lit
tie way back in the hills. Coffee,
here, he went to Pahranagat-"
How'd Magoon die?" Horse
Dunn asked.
Wheeler would not be turned
aside. II guess that don't so much
matter, Horse, in view of couple
of other things. For one thing, Mar
ian had her horse shot out from
under her, in plain light, back in the
hills. I've been thinking whole

been identified. When the two relics
were placed together it was seen
that they were part Of an altar
tomb erected by Julia Pacata,
daughter Of Indus, in memory Of
her husband, Fabius Alpinus Clas-
sicianus, who was sent to Britain as
Procurator in A. D. g., after the
outbreak Of Boadicea's rebellion.
The London Passenger Transport
board agreed to present the second
stone to The British museum, but
they felt that there should be some
record Of the memorial near the
discovery, and instructions, were
given that replica of the two
stones shall be built into the wall of
the substation.

lot, Horse" he went on, "about how
anybody would ever come to take a
shot at her. Now-1 think I know"
what are you coming to, boy2"
Horse Dunn said.
Horse" said Billy Wheeler
Horse know who killed Marian's
pony last night; and know why"
He saw Horse Dunn's big shaggy
head sway and tip a little to one
side as the old man sought to peer
more closely into Wheeler's eyes.
"If you know that" he began.
Wheeler's voice was fiat and re-
Taxed with utter certainty. 'You
know I do. Horse"
Billy Wheeler could hear his own
blood beating in his ears, like far
off Indian drum; and this time the
silence was terrible silence, un-
endurable to those gathered there.
Coffee" Horse Dunn said in an
unnatural voice. ''I'll talk to this
boy alone"
Perhaps some faint persistent
hope that he was wrong had lasted
somewhere in Billy Wheeler's mind.
But when Horse Dunn told Old Man
Coffee to go out, Wheeler knew that
he had not been wrong, but that
they were at the end.
Old Man Coffee moved quickly,
with the smooth, sliding stride Of
one of his own lion hounds. He
was glad to be out Of there. For
moment the young sun splashed
through the open door with the bril-
lance Of powder fare-up; then
the half-dark closed again as Coffee
let the door swing shut behind him.
They heard the crunch of his heels
in the dirt as he walked off down
the side Of the hill.
"You go too, Marian" Horse
Dunn said softly. BILLY and I'want
to-"
"You want her to stay here.
Horse, / think"
"Stay here?" The old mans voice
was blurred by strange and unac-
customed uncertainty. "You want
her to stay here?"
cts you that needs her here"
Wheeler told him. Then after mo-
ment he said, almost inaudibly-
TELL her, Horse"

Sun and Moon Beliefs

1t Is quite usual, following classi-
cal custom, to regard the sun as
having masculine attributes and the
moon as having feminine attributes.
It is Of interest to note, in the Ok
ford dictionary, that in Old English
moon" was masculine and "sun"
was feminine, but since the Six.
teenth century the classical influ.
ence has prevailed. The ancient
Greeks and Romans worshipped a
sun-god and moon-goddess.

high ventilators outlined Dunn's big
shaggy head and the sweep Of a
great shoulder, but his eyes they
could not see. AS he spoke it seemed
that it was not the big old fighter
who stood there, but an old man as
vaguely bewildered as child. Tell
her?" he said dimly. "You want
me to tell her"
Once more the silence descended,
brutal, complete; it held on end
lessly, as If no one Of them was ever
going to be able to break it again.
And still Horse Dunn did not speak
nor move, but stood like a frozen
man, a great shadowy figure just
beyond the bars. Billy Wheeler tried
to say something, anything, to break
that terrible taut stiffness; but he
could not.
Suddenly Marian Dunn stumbled
forward, against the bars. She
reached through, drew Horse
Dunn's wrists through the barrier,
and hid her face in his two great
hands. Her voice came to them
choked and smothered.
II didn't KNOW didn't know"
Horse Dunn's words shuddered as
he cried out-"W hat-what didn't
you know?"
'That you-could love me-so
much ;"
Wheeler saw the old fighter sway;
but in a moment he was steady
again. He spoke across Marian's
bent head, and his voice had hard
edge. "You don't know what you're
talking about. Old Man Coffee has
been loading you with Look here:
is he in on this?"
"Tm virtually certain he knows,
though he figured it out different
than I did,"
Figured out what? Spit it out,
mani"
HORSE" said Wheeler with more
sadness in his voice than he had
ever known in the world before, II
can name you every step Of"
Horse Dunn's voice blazed up,
breaking restraint. "In Gods name,
how did you find out?"
"Frorn something Marian said.
After the first shot at her, she said,
I'm glad it happened. I can't tell
you why I know now what she
meant by that. Those shots proved
to her that no one who loved her
was mixed up in the Short Crick
works. And today it suddenly came
to me that just to fix that idea in
her mind might have been reason
enough for dropping those shots
near her. Then remembered the
night when you tapped up your ankle
where it was skinned, and spoke of
Strengthening your spur. OF course,
a spur doesn't skin a mans ankle
bone. Some boot weapon would have
to do that; and a derringer would
have fitted ina derringer carrying
a shotgun shell. The shot in tn,
saddle fooled Coffee, for awhile;
it looked to him like it came from
farther away than the horses had
stood apart, and made him think
there was third man. But just
happened to think that the shot could
have come from short, weak gun
with the same effect. Well"
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-05-20

Wheeler finished-"Coffee has Been
to Pahranagat; he found out that
Flagg came through there like a
bum."
Dear God" Horse Dunn whis-
pered. "It's-the end Of the rope"
He pulled his hands away, and be-
gan to pace the two strides that the
cell permitted-back and forth.
back and forth.
Marian" Wheeler begged, tell
him you see"
Marian raised her face, surpris-
ingly in command Of herself again.
Her voice was steady. II do see
it! ! see it ALI"
Dunn's pacing stopped: he raised
big shaking hands, pleading hands.
"And yet you-you ain't-you don't
think
Marian cried out to him-and
there was pain in her voice, but
there was glory in it, too-"T think
nobody ever loved anybody so much
as you have proved you love mel"
I'll can't hardly believe
Horse Dunn sagged down onto the
bare steel cot within his cell. Mar
ian, il you're telling me that you
you know-and yet you're backing
me, still"
The girl was pressed against the
bars that kept her from him. "1'm
telling you that believe in you with
all my hearth"
Horse Dunn stood up slowly, like
a man in a dream.
He said, "How much have you
told her, boy?"
''She knows only what she's
guessed, I think. The rest Of the
story has to come from YOU"
The boss OF the "a appeared to
consider for what seemed a long
time. I'll don't know as I can
make out to do that. Life hasn't
gone easy, or smooth, with me.
Other times, long ago, I've faced
down other men, more men than
these. But I swear I never raised
gun to any man, without he got his
break! I stood with empty hands,
always, until their guns showed"
''She has to know it ALL" Billy
insisted; from the very begin
ing.
II can't hardly expect her to un-
derstand how it come up. Those
shots threw so close to@her- that's
the crazy part, that a man can't
hardly explain. couldn't ever have
done it, if didn't know for certain
that I could put slug into two
bit piece at hundred yards-ten
out Of ten, easy as you'd put your
finger on a nail. It seems a wild
and crazy thing, even to me. But
I tell you, never a man lived that
could throw the fear into me that
this kid has always been able to-
just on the scare that she'd quit
me. And thought If there was one
thing she'd be sure Of on earth, 1t
was that I'd give my life to save
the least hair Of her head from
harm. And took that way; so that
she'd always be dead certain, what
ever might happen or be proved
later, that it couldn't be true that 1t
was me killed Flagg."

freight, just the same! And here's
how you can get it done.'
"Well?"
"Old Man Coffee and Horse
Dunn's niece are here with me. Give
us an hour to talk to Horse Dunn
alone. That's the proposition and
all of the proposition"
"And if l do that you'll pull out
of here?"
within "a hours. I'll stay out
until the killing case against Horse
Dunn is cleared up, one way or
another. After that maybe I'll come
back to the 81 and maybe I'll help
it with its finance; I don't say one
way or the other. But if you want
me out of it for the time being,
here's your chance"
There's a hook in this some
place." Amos said. "But I'll take a
chance. Horse Dunn's in the Jail,
where he belongs. I'll take you there
and I'll give you an hour"
The Inspiration jail was tiny, but
it was perhaps the most modern
thing in the town. It sat by itself
on a rise of ground 200 yards be-
hind Walt Amos house, which was
the nearest dwelling.
In structure it was a 20-foot
square cube Of concrete, with tiny
air holes near the roof, and an iron
door. Within was an inner cage of
steel bars, separated from the
outer shell, all the way around, by a
corridor four feet wide. The place
had no great capacity, but it would
have been a double job for a good
craftsman to make his way out.
Old Man Coffee was reluctant to
visit Horse Dunn here. Don't hard
ly seem fitting"
There's special reason I want
you to come, for minute or two"
"Have it your own way"
Sheriff Walt Amos swung wide the
outer door. "1'm putting you on
your honor not to try any funny
business" he said. But in case of
doubt-just remember how easy it
would be to cut loose on you from
the housed"
"You talk like Child" said Cot
fee.
1t seemed strange, Billy Wheeler
thought, that the old king. of cattle,
the man who could not only dream a
cow kingdom but make it live, was
to be found standing here in two
by-four Jail. Yet, within the black
shadows of concrete and steel Horse
Dunn lowered bigger than ever,
straighter than ever; he seemed,
not an old man at the end of his
rope, but young giant, easy in his
strength. The great sense of latent
power that radiated from Horse
Dunn made it seem that lie only
waited here within these cramped
walls because he wilfully used his
own great body as a pawn, laid in
hazard while he awaited his adj
vantage.

eyes.
Horse Dunn grinned upward and
about him at the steel and concrete.
The walls could not shame hint
was he who shamed the walls. IA
thousand miles Of range have to be
held by money and cows and men
not by a little tin continuance
palmed off on the county by some
hardware salesman. You think they
can hold me here an hour, once I
decide to move out?"
No one answered him. There
where the daylight could hardly en-
ter, the silence had way of de-
scending sharply, like the closing Of
iron doors. After little of that
quiet no one could forget that man
had been found dead in the Red
Sleep, and another at Ace Springs,
and still another at the head of
gorge without a name.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

The Smiths had to move again, because MT. Smith had been sick and then reduced to easier work They could not keep up the house on Harbor Street, which they had ambitiously rented when he had gotten his last raise.
 It was hard to get out of their lease, but the landlord, confronted with a non-paying tenant, had fin- ally given his consent, if the Smiths would take another of his houses near the flood district. So that was what happened, and now here is Mrs. Smith listlessly packing, feel ing that life is too hard to bear. It is the children who worry her. Poor Donnie, just getting acquainted where she was. Only last week Jennie Jackson had asked her to a party, and the Jacksons were such lovely people.
 Other Disadvantages
 And then, too, little Kurt was about to go to the big kindergarten nearby. He played so nicely with the children on quiet Harbor Street and the neighborhood they were go- ing to was simply swarm of every kind of child under the sun. She thought about these things for the hundredth time as she folded sheets into a basket and laid out an old spread to cover a mattress.
 Were the children to have no better chance than she had had, or Elmer? She shuddered as she thought of the dark little old flat in which she had spent her child hood.
 What a dreadful place to grow up in," she said to herself. "Six of us in that hole and Grandma coughing her heart out. If things keeps on, some day that will be me. But don't care. It's the children I worry about"
 Mrs. Smith began to lift an old
 box to the top of a trunk, and then some unexplained urge made her open it. Inside there was a mixture of everything "a broken buckle, some assorted nails, a piece of striped sash, few shells, little blue pitcher with the spout gone.
 Back Down Memory Lane
 Mrs. Smith sat down and smiled. The blue pitcher was hers when she was about Donnie's age. How she had loved it. No tea party was real unless it had the brave little pitcher on the homemade box table, to impress the other children from across the hall. Grandma had giv- en it to her, relic of her own girl

Gloriying Yourself
 Rx Alicia Hart
By Alicia Hart

Smart girls come back from winter vacations looking like a mil lion dollars. Eyes shining, figures just right, skin smooth and clear and tanned warm, golden beige, their appearance shouts that they had fun and, at the same time, got themselves in the pink of condition.
 It really is a mistake to decide that you aren't getting your moneys worth out of the resort hotel unless you have five huge meals a day. You'll eat more than you ordinarily do at home, of course, because you'll be taking more exer- else - but don't overdo the idea and come back with a bulging waistline, or worse.
 On the other hand, it is just as big a mistake to overdo the business of exercising. One who has been chained to desk for year or who has had no exercise to speak of ill months, shouldn't even try to swim and play tennis and eighteen holes of golf and a bit of pingpong the first day, or even the tenth. The body will tolerate no such quick change from a lethargic mode of life to a violently active one. Take it easy, and give your muscles a chance to stretch gradually, to get used to the new routineS.
 Also, don't try to burn the candle at both ends. It would be silly to spend vacation worrying about getting to bed or getting up at a certain hour. On the other hand it is any thing but silly to make it a rule to sleep nine hours out of every twenty-four. If you dance until three and get to bed at four, then sleep until lunch time. Or get up bit earlier than that and take a nap in the afternoon.
 Get the coveted coat of Suntan in sensible manner, too. Use sun tan oil or lotion and stay in the bright sunshine no more than fif- teen minutes the first day, twenty the second, and so on until your skin is conditioned - no longer in danger of burning instead of tan ming.
 Then, too, do use cream around your eys at night and wear colored glasses when lying on the beach, riding in a rumble seat or sitting on the boat deck. Eyestrain can bring along a trail of beauty griefs- crows feet and turkey tracks, swoolen tissues, nervous habits that destroy boise, induce drowning and headaches.
 Colored lenses, even in the dark sports type, can be ground to pre- scription. If you wear glasses most of the time anyway, have some flesh colored lenses ground to your prescription. If not, better get some deep rosy lens to guard your eyes

well ?" mean only one thing, "Does the man have money?" And if he doesn't, 'Does it look as though he will have money some day?" In other words, "How much can he give herr"
 Women go on asking that question even when they know from their own lives that money has nothing much to do with a suc- cessful marriage, and that lack of it doesn't make marriage failure.
 But how are girls to know what is import ant and what isn't, when middle-aged women casually pronounce a "good marriage one in which the girl moves into an easy way of liv- ing?
 Maybe some day women will be far-sighted enough to see that the only way to tell whether or not girl has married well is to see if her marriage is short or long term contract. Meanwhile they might swear off that misleading question:

 A low trump was returned and West played the ten, declarer win ming with the king. A low club was returned, West winning with the ten. A spade was returned, which declarer ruffed.
