 "Nicely done," fellow" she said casually.
 Linda saw Donald turn his head toward her for an instant - head that was smeared with grass and dirt from his fall. He grinned, then saw Linda. His face lit up. Wait for mel" he called - to Linda. He took his saddle, jumped on the scales, was weighed out. L6aped off the scales, tossed the tack to a valet, started toward Linda.
 Come on, Don," the woman known as Merle called, turning her back on Linda. and walking off, followed by her crowd.
 Brown Donald strengthened. His mouth opened, but he said noth- ing. Stood still as the chatelaine moved away majestically. Then he turned, came straight to Linda, now standing alone. How'd you like it2" he asked, looking at her eagerly.
 "A brilliant ride, Donl It was greatP
 "Oh, Don!" Again the woman was calling to him-from 20 paces away. we're waiting for youl"
 Linda saw the mans face crin- son. He stood on one foot then on the other. Started to speak to her, started to answer Merle and did nothing.
 "Donp the call was imperious.
 Linda smiled sadly. T think, my dea Don," she said softly, that you'd better answer mama"
 She turned her shoulder to him. It gave him an out.
 "Ill call you later," he num- bled.
 Don't trouble to, m'lad. Hustle along!"
 Brown Donald trudged off.
 Six hours later, after furious driving down Kentucky's roads, Linda Gordon reached the white- painted farmhouse of her uncle. There was no light showing. No sign of life, until she heard the sudden barking of Jerry the Scot- tie, tied to the front porch. A light did flash on as she went up the steps; the door opened. There stood Callie Tompkins, the new cook.
 What you wantp Oh, lawdy! Miss Linda! An sho' Is glad you here. MT. Sandy, he an Norman an the colt, they all done run away"

 An urgency in her tone caused him to drop his hands, to draw away.
 "Don," the girl said quickly, "emotions - they are tricky things.
 But, Linda, I've I've wanted you since the moment you looked across at me over the shoulders of those rough-necks at the auc- ton. You seemed to be calling me"

 "oh, hang sleep when l can be with youp
 "Come we're going" she said firmly.
 She took his hand, in friendly fashion; they walked back to his car, got in. Started homeward.
 What time Is the race2"
 "Scheduled for B. on Merle's private course. But we never start on time. A hunt club race Is like old home week, y know; every body greeting everybody else; swapping the latest gossip. Sup. pose you come to the paddock early; want you to know Merle"

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Where Ice Cools The Equator
v vssSaoAAAAAAAAkAAAsAA ss Sa AAl

OUT of the depths of Africa
 came reports 100 years ago of an extraordinary mountain, soar- ing above the matted growth of the jungle to an ice-clad summit within few degrees of the equator. Some scientists met the rumor with derlsion. No one in- Vestigated.
 So the mystery of mighty Kili- 'manjaro remained a secret until finally in 1861 Karl von der Decken, a German scientist, con- frmed the report about the noun tain made by Johann Rebmann, m English missionary, l3 years before. The Paris Geographical Society conferred a medal on Reb- mann and his associate, Krapf Ludwig. Thereafter interest in the peak. rose keenly.
 Several expeditions sought It's summit. Charles New, a mission ary,. reached the snow line at 14,000 feet before he was forced to descend, and Joseph Thompson of the Royal Geographical Society was the first to work his way around the north side. Forty years after 1t had been first sighted, Dr. Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purt- scheller stood upon Kilimanjaro's summit. Since that date, 1889, a number of explorers have sealed the peak.
 Kilimanjaro rises abruptly from the plains and eliminates actually in two peaks, one 17,500 and one l9,728 feet high. The peak of Kibo, the tallest, has a crater over 5000 feet in circumference and 500 feet deep. Kilimanjaro is shown here on a stamp of Tanganyika, British protectorate since the World War. It was formerly Ger man territory. (copyright. 1898. NEA Service. lnc)

CRANllJN CRACKERS

MT. William Brown lives 10 blocks west of the post office and his brother John lives 10 blocks north of 1t.
 When William Brown wishes to visit his brother, he may drive 10 blocks north and 10 blocks east, or 20 blocks.
 Or he may turn every corner as he comes to 1t, going diagonally towards his brother, and yet he will have 20 full blocks to go.
 However, MT. Brown insists that the diagonal way is the shortest. Is he right?
