Lady Lindsay
Is Hostess

It was a small and select COM
pany invited by Lady Lindsay,
wife of the Ambassador of Great
Britain, to the dinner party
which she gave last evening at
the embassy on Massachusetts,
Avenue. Even though the party
was in honor of the notable
British viSitorS-the former Min
lister of Foreign Affairs and
Mrs. Anthony Eden, who are
house guests at the embassy
it was necessarily of an infor-
NAL nature because Of mourn
ing for the late Queen Of Nor
way. The Ambassador is in
England on a leave of absence
from his post.
Guests last night included
Senator and Mrs. Warren Bar
bour, the Swedish Minister and
Nine. Bostrom, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Woods Bliss, Mr.. Nor
man Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. Pierre
pont Moffat, Mr.. and Mrs. Fe-
lix Morley, Viscount and Wis.,
countess Hinchingbrooke, Mr..
Ronald Tree, M. P; Mr.. and
Mrs. Victor Mallet, Mr.. Arthur
Krock and Sir Martyr Beckett.

counts in the scheme Of things.
I don't"
Molly was still remembering
Syd's fate, as she waited for
Red.Eye to be let into the chute.
She was glad sgd had been
anxious and upset, as well as
angry. How would he look the
next time she saw him?
Resolutely, Molly put down
the fatalistic "if ever" that ac-
companied this thought, like a
dirge. She couldn't give way
to fear now. This ride she was
facing called for more skill and
courage than any she had ever
taken in her whole life.
1t was a lucky break, riding
Red-Eye. If she had had an
easier mount, people might have
suspected.
The whole idea had come to
her in flash when she had
seen Clara Stones look at the
drawing. Molly was glad to do
it for Clara, all right, but she
wasn't fooling herself that she
was being noble by riding Red
Eye in her place. She was grab
bing this chance to test sgd.
Then, Red.Eye was below her,
thraShing and kicking against
the wooden rails; she was on
him, the gate was open, a shout
rose from the crowd at their
whirlwind plunge into the arena.
Skyscraping and sunfishing,
Red-Eye hurled himself into the
air again and again, squealing
with rage as Molly's spurs raked
him.
Through all the terrific pound
ing that Jared her spine as
though tearing every vertebra
apart, Molly's mind clicked with
clock-like precision. It must be
perfectly timed, her plunge;
timed so that she could roll free
of those wicked hoofs; getting
killed wouldn't save sgd.
At particularly violent twist,
Molly deliberately loosened her
grip. She heard the shouts of
the crowd falter as the ground
came up to meet her. With one
last super-human effort, she
flung herself beyond the shadow
of that rearing mass, before
rushing black void swept over
her.

Travis B. Bryan, self-styled "coun.
try-banker," is urging other bank
ers of the South to do their bit in
the war against cotton pests by
adopting his new strategy of
financing sulphur-dust campaigns.
Pointing out that cotton grow.

from the ravages of the cotton

both farmer and banker can reap
dividends from this sort of co.

FRACTURED RIB

Voices penetrated the dark
ness; a strange voice saying,
fractured collar bone and rib;
reckon that's ALL"
internal injuries?" That was
Syd's voice, that tense question.
Molly wanted to open her eyes
and reassure him, but her eye
lids were too heavy.
Don't think so. What's
that?" A voice from farther
away said something Molly
couldn't catch; then, They're
holding the championship for
you, Sgd. Go ahead and ride.
She'll be all right with me-"
ITO hell with the champion
ship" Syd's hoarse whisper
broke. "You go tell 'em I'm
signing off"
Molly's eyes did come open
then. For a blessed moment,
she and Sgd were alone. Sgd
bent close to hear her faltering,
"You mean-for good, Syd?"
For good, kid" he said. He
flashed his old smile at her, his
voice determinedly light above
suppressed emotion, positively
