And he couldn't marry her, either:
in a year or two she'd likely lose

He kicked the starter Of his car
rather unnecessarily hard, and
swung around to go back home.
He wasn't In a good mood. "Tll

THAT ought to get the outfit run

Going through the business dis
trict Of Nogales he saw another
rancher whom he knew, and
stopped to swap talk for another

O'Clock when he finally started for
the ranch, and nearly midnight
when he got there. Even from a
distance he saw lights in Ellen's
house and wondered about it.
Ordinarily she didn't stay up very
late.
1t had worried Bill that a pretty
young woman should live thus in
q big ranch house anyway. But

very high type servants, women
who would be more nearly COM

But tonight it wasn't just Ellen

When Bill stopped his car he heard

and women obviously In high

YUNE is the favorite month Of
poets. They sing about the
roses in bloom and call 1t the
~ month of roses, although the
honeysuckle is the months floral en-
blem. The gem Of the month Is the
agate and moonstone The rose has
been chosen as our national flower.
We will agree that this month is
filled to the brim with everything to
make nature lovers happy. Listen to
the songs of birds. It is the singing
of the wooers. and later the endearing
conversation of the father standing,
sentinel fashion, some distance away
from his little, brooding mate.
II Is little trouble now to see
couple Of dozen birds in space of
half hour. Perhaps your lawn has
bird baths, flowers, worms. and insects
aplenty. Then YOU need only peep
through your window and watch them.
We have catbirds coming early in
the morning. They stand on the tip

stump in which he finds crushed
nuts, seeds, and, If he cares to work
hard, lusty grub or two.
The robins look especially fat this
season. They find many worms in
the damp spots, grass seeds, and
some insects on the flowers. They
are joined by the starlinss, funny little
bills contrast so well against their
somber uniform; flickers, Euejays,
thrushes. flycatchers, pigeons. Mack
birds drop In for drink and bit of
food. Meadowlarks and bronze grackles
march over the meadows, seeking food
for hungry babies. In the shrubs the

his call that sounds more like get

Flowers, wild and cultivated, have
50 many wonderful secrets to share
with you. Their strange and clever
devices for showering their insect
guests with pollen. Their colors to
attract attention, their hidden en-
frances and exits. 1t is worth your
time to sit beside them and watch
how busy flower really can be, yet
not moving.
Go to a brook in the sunlit woods.
There you will see many old friends

to the stem, for all the world to see.

NEW YORK, Aug. l8. (UP)-
The blood was barely dry today on

hold three titles at the same time.
They saw Ambers, knocked clear
across the ring once and knocked
down twice, get up off the floor
and shake the blood out of his
eyes and come back to within a
Whisker of winning the fight. They
saw two men who were bleeding,
leg weary and gulping breath into
burning lungs, stand toe to toe and
slug for 10 seconds after the fight
was over. No matter what a man
paid to get into the Garden last
night. he got his moneys worth.
Armstrong got the lightweight
title. Ambers got the cheers. He
was never more popular than at
the moment when Madison Square

knees twice by explosions on his
