CHAPTER XXI

IT there was a more beautiful world than that of snow-bound Lake Placid, Sally had never seen it. Great blue-white mountain peaks pierced the deep azure of the sky, pine trees formed tall black regiments, frosted fields shimmered like miles and miles of silvered gauge; the lake itself wore Q dull glazed sheen.
 The crowd was exceedingly gay and smart, lovely girls in all man. ner of sport outfits; rugged, hand some men in ski sweaters and knickers. None handsomer, or more attentive than Corey; no girl more strikingly pretty than Sally Blair. Again heads turned as they passed by, skating arm in arm, or carrying skis and poles; again people remarked what a fine looking couple they made. "That's Sally Blair,". someone would say. Remember, she was Queen of the Dartmouth carnival last year!" Or, "That's Corey Porter with her. His father is the millionaire. He and Sally are engaged, you know"
 Looking at them anyone might be envious. They had everything, this young couple, good looks, health, money to burn - and love. The world was all theirs! Or so 1t seemed. No one could guess that this particular world, in Sally's thoughts, belonged just to one person. A boy who this time last year had been king of them all in this world of his. A boy whose memory was stingingly potent, achingly ever-present as Sally skated and skied, flirted and laughed, pretending to be as gay, as happy as the old Sally Blair.
 The day after the arrival of Corey and his party there was to be 8 contest. "It's a sort of unofi- cial tryout for the Olympics, I un- derstand," Corey said. T believe there will be contestants from everywhere. It ought to prove in- teresting. We ought to go and watch it."
 The Olympics that Dan, this time last year, had hoped to make, That he would have achieved, surely, had it not been for Sally. That he had said, one day beside . brook in the spring, he would ono day try out for again.
 But of course Dan would not

STORIES: IN \ ' AMP Ss

SoImon-River Kings HARDY and important fish is the AA salmon. It inhabits the north Atlantic, ranging from. Hudson Bay, Iceland and northern Europe to Cape Cod and, the Bay of Bis- cay. It enters the maJor rivers of North America, and. where 1t en- ters it IS king.
 Salmon feed mostly on mack erel, herring and sand-eels. It breeds from September to Febru- ary. The female fish scoops out trough in the gravelly shallows and, sinking into it, deposits eggs which are fertilized by the male. By adroit strokes of her tail she then covers the eggs, burying them often 12 inches deep. The eggs are about one-fourth inch in diameter, and hatch near the close of winter.
 The young fish depend on a large yolk-sac for nourishment for a month or two. After that the fry. scarcely more than an inch long, emerge and swim in the shoals, feeding on bugs. Gen- orally in about two years the sale mon is six inches long and big enough to go down to the sea on his own.
 Very few salmon live more than 10 years or spawn more than three or four times. Often they attain 30 pounds weight, but this is not because they are necessarily old; they have merely spent sev- eral years in the sea without spawning.
 AS in trees, salmon reveal their life history in their concentric rings. These lines of growth are located close together on the cen- tral part of the scale formed dur ing life in fresh water. The more rapid growth in the sea is marked by more rings farther apart.

and last of all - and as Sally had thought before, that other time when she had watched him-most beautiful of all, too, the slalom race.
 T want to congratulate him, " Sally said after it was all over and Dan was the center of an admiring group. T want to go over and say hello to Dan, Corey" She had to do that; just as she had had to meet Dan after she first had seen him that long ago day. Nothing or earth could have kept Sally from meeting Dan then. Nothing could keep her from going to him now. Corey glanced at her, his blue eyes narrowed. "It won't do any good" he said, even as he had said that other time. "Dan proved he didn't want anything to do with us, Sally. He took himself out of our world. Why go back into his2"
 That has nothing to do with it," Sally said. You're not afraid to go are you, Corey2"
 This brought an angry flush to Corey's fair cheeks, quick denial that was almost too ready. He was afraid. But not for the reasons Sally thought.
 Come on then," Sally said Her reasons were different from what Corey might have supposed, too. If she met Dan again, talked with him, looked into his eyes, then maybe at long last she really could forget him.

the infection from the ear got into
the bloodstream. causing a clot
which blocked of the blood supply
to the child's legs.
Through two rubber tubes, air Is
pumped in and out of the glass boot
to force the blood to circulate
through the legs. The theory of
the apparatus is that when air is
pumped out of the chamber a
vacuum is created around the feet
which relieves the pressure and
causes the blood to flow into the
feet. Then when air is pumped into
the boot, atmospheric pressure is
created, the blood vessels collapse
and the blood flows away from the
feet.
The whole machinery is timed to
the normal circulation of the blood.
While her young mother, Mrs.
Joseph Tippett of 625 L street Sc,

A nurse explained the child wasn't
in anv pain, although she seemed

capped top of the boot, which en-
circles her waist.
Her mother said the child was
just learning to talk, but all the
nurses could get from her was stop"
