referred to it as a gold mine.
No Explanation
Neither of them had offered any
explanation of the dark room. or
indeed, offered any explanation at
all except the rather flimsy one
that they were working on an old
gold mine.
The girl felt sinking sensation
/ inside her, a sensation that was
entirely new to her in her rela-
tions with Rick.
For the first time, she honestly
suspected him of double Dosing.
For the first time, she realized
that there might be a very def
mite basis for Barringer's suspi-
cions that Rick was mixed up in
an espionage plot.
Before her mind had been kept
open so far as Rick was concerned.
Unconsciously, she had been try
ing to find things that would dis
credit Barringer's suspicious, that
would support her hidden feeling
that he was innocent.
That anything that tended TO
involve him might be easily ex-
planned away.
She was surprised at her feeling
of disappointment-her disillusion-
ment in Rick. She certainly was
no judge of character, she real
lied now, for having known him
even for such a short time, she
would have banked on his utter
honesty.
She would have staked a great
deal on her belief that Barringer
was entirely mistaken about him.
Thousand Questions
There We're a thousand ques-
tons she wanted to ask him, ques-
tons that might have cleared all
doubt, either way. regarding Rick
and his activities, but she was
afraid to ask them.
The point Major Barringer had
stressed, when he gave her in
structions, was that she must pro-
coed very cautiously so that Leslie
wouldn't suspect she was trying to
get infor nation from him.
ITS very delicate job I'm en-
trusting to you" he had said. II
weren't sure of your good judg-
ment and common sense. I never
would have chosen you. If he ever
suspects that you are trying to
get something on him, that you
are trying to pry into his private
affairs, your usefulness to me will
be at an end.
Don't try to pump him, OBJ
viously. Try to get as friendly as
possible. keep your eyes open and
remember anything that may slip
out"
Any questions she had asked.
she had tried to make natural and
casual.

Shield Against Sharp Winds

On unexpectedly cool spring and
fall days lightweight coats and
suits may not be sufficient to
ward off penetrating breezes. For
that extra bit of warmth that
spells comfort use a new shoulder
shield to snap inside the back of
suit jacket or coat. The shield is
wool lined. covered with rayon
satin and cut and shaped not to
interfere with the svelte lines of
your costume. The colors are
navy. beige and black.

Discipline
Dear Miss Grey: A reader wrote
70 you recently to complain about
. neighbor who. as she said. was
forever criticising other children
but never her own. Well. I realize
that many mothers think their own
children are perfect and that the
children of others are always
wrong. However. will say in Jus
lice to some of these critical par
ents that often they take their jobs
N parents seriously while too many
lenient parents want to neglect
their children and yet grow indig-
nant when their youngsters are
criticized.
If you look about you II will be
EASY to find the children whose par
ents are letting discipline take
vacation along with vacation days.
Too many mothers think that be-
cause school days are over. their
5obs a. parents have 4 right to

Personally. / think 1t foolish for

Dear Mrs. Post: From time to
time. in answer to various ques-
lions on serving, I have noticed
that you bar serving yourself first,
stating that this involves not only
fashion, but courtesy and that you
would not have yourself served
first mefore a woman guest no
matter where you might find your
self living. While this answers a
question that has long been in my
mind, / am still somewhat in
doubt. How can this courtesy to
ones guests be shown when the
host does the carving and the
plates are passed from one to the
other and not taken to each place
by a maid a?
Answer: The host should ask

ANOTHER COURTESY TO
ONES GUESTS

Dear Mrs. Post: In our COM
munity it is customary for people
to stop in at r church, unlimited,
to watch a wedding. This is a
small town and naturally every
one has some interest in everyone
else even though they may be no
more than speaking acquaintance.
Usually the people who have the
most right to the best seats. come
last and find the worst seats left
for them. / would like the situa-
ton to be different at my we'd
ding IL I can institute change
without seeming rude. Can l do
something and how would I do
this?
Answer: You simply put up one
white ribbon barrier back of the
few front pews reserved for your
nearest relatives. and then put a
second white ribbon back of a
second block of pews which are
for your particular friends. Back
of these two ribboned sections,
people would be seated according
to early arrival-without discrim-
mating between the invited and
the not invited as is customary, in
your community.

The trouble with the girls nova
days is they think they are a lit
tie better than the men. All !

and a little above me socially.
II they did not think they came
from a better family or had more
TO offer socially or financially.
they thought they had a better
education than !.
The one girl I liked the most
turned me down because she was
afraid would never be able to
offer her a. much as she had been
used to.
Why are these modern girls 40
snobbish7 Unless some of them
change their ideas they will re-
main old maids to the end of their
days. No man likes a girl who
has 4 superiority complex.
MODERN BACH.
Many Of these girls are
snobbish without realizing IL.
Thoughtlessly they boast about
their heritage. social prestige,
money and education. They talk
at great length about these
things without realizing they
are frightening masculine adj
mirers away.
When you encounter a girl Of
this type, don't acquire an in
feriority complex in her pres
ence. Don't feel sorry for your
self-feel sorry for her. She is
the one who rates sympathy for
acting this way. II she doesn't
change her tactics she will pay
the price.

Handy Hints
SHODDY RUGS NO BARGAIN

Shoddy rugs, even at best bar
gain prices. are never good buys.
Quality in floor covering actually
is economy in the long run, and ii
is usually intelligent shopping to
purchase products of manufac-
turer who has reputation to
maintain. Wooden rugs should be
made from flexible, good quality

CHAPTER SIX

Cf1AI Ell SIN
With Rick as her guide. Ellen
explored the canyon pretty thor
oughly before they decided to call
it a day and head for home. To
her inexpert eyes. it seemed that
the place was inaccessible on foot
because of the towering cliff at the
far end. Certainly, it couldn't be
reached by car or even on horse
back.
That's right" Rick confirmed,
when she told him her belief. only
way in here is by plane"
Suppose something happened,
and you couldn't come to bring
Mr.. Caithness supplies ?"
He laughed.
Not much chance Of that. How
ever, he has two weeks reserve
rations stored away in the cabin
and if ever I miss coming, he
knows he'll have to shift for him.
self. There is a way out, but it's
tough one. It's a hard trail up
over the mountain. But he'll never
have to use it, as nothing will keep
me from coming"
How in the world did you ever
find it in the first place ~ she
wanted to know. He grinned a bit
ruefully, as he answered.
Something Happened
"As a matter of fact, something
did happen. Ny gas line clogged,
and I had to make a quick landing.
I saw this level floored canyon,
and sat down. After I'd repaired
the plane and made sure I could
fly the ship out again, spent
several hours exploring and found
the old mine shaft.
when I got back to town,
looked it up and learned that it
had been abandoned. 1t was in the
public domain because no one had
done any work on it for many
years, so I filed a claim.
Later, Caithness and flew the
cabin out here piece-meal. Bought
a knockdown shack and even then
we had to cut some of the larger
pieces into sections to get them
into the plane. When we got all
the stuff moved. we put it up,
doing all the carpenter work our
selves. Makes pretty snug
place"
1T surely is secluded Ellen
remarked. "A person could live
here for years if he had some way
to get supplies. and no one would
ever know it"
It's a real hideout, all right"
She glanced quickly at his face,
but there was nothing there to
betray that he knew others had
discovered he had the secret hide
out and suspected that his pur-
pose in having it was a sinister
one.
The more she thought of it, the
more suspicious it seemed to her.
This little place hidden away in a
spot that could only be reached
from the air, except in an extreme
emergency.

Frisco Strike
 Being Studied

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-Wa- terfront employers and the striking CIO Ship Clerks Union are studying the proposal of Gov. Olson's fact finding committee for ending the five-week San Francisco port tieup.
 Spokesmen for the employers in dicated that the next move is up to the union.
 Mediator Geurth of the Federal Maritime Labor Board conferred with both sides on the plan.
 Both sides refused immediate comment on the proposal of the Governors committee.
 The report recommended that the Clerks Union abandon for the time being their demand for control of waterfront clerks employed by the month. The plan called for the Clerks to arbitrate if no agreement is reached within 24 hours.
 The Employers previously baked at submitting to arbitration the is sue of control over the monthly Clerks. They claimed that such clerks are responsible executives in handling shipping.
 The Governors committee pro- posed making thorough study of the merits of the Union demand, after work is resumed.

 The time was Il o'clock Sunday forenoon.
 The conversation was interrupted when fire alarm AS was sounded in Juneau.
 After the last sounds had died away, the Japanese operator said:
 What is that believing I so dis tinctly hear here?"
 Williams replied that it was Ju- neau's fire alarm and the Japan csc operator was not only surprised at the queer way of summoning a fire department but also with the distinctness with which the alarm was heard
 Williams station here is K7ELB, high frequency, 10 meter, and the Japanese station he was talking with is JPN, Tokyo.
