Strawberries

1roquois Indians declared: 1.-THE
road to the Happy Hunting Grounds
is covered with strawberries. When
man dies and is on his way to
the Happy Hunting Grounds, he
stoops down and picks the berries. {"
Like wheat, oats and other
grains, and like many kinds of ber-
ries,. strawberries were found in a
wild state and then were tanned"
Care on the part of growers has
brought us crops of large, juicy
berries. Although tame strawberries
are larger than wild ones, 1 never
have found any so sweet as wild
ones have picked.
Ninety years ago, the yearly crop
OF Strawberries in North America
amounted to about 10000 bushels.
Today our continent produces mil
lions of bushels each year. Straw
berry growing has become an i'm
portant industry in many places.

Strawberries have been known
and eaten in Europe for more than
1000 years. Our name for them
grew out of old Anglo Saxon words
meaning hay berries" 1t is be-
leved Anglo-Saxon farmers often
found berries growing wild under
hay which they had cut down, and
this probably explains the name.
On our continent the wild straw
berry was known to some Indian
tribes. They seem to have priced
the berries for food.

In defensive play discarding is of
great Importance. In particular,
when one player wishes to apprise
his partner of strength in certain
suit, he should discard the highest
card he can afford to play, without
however sacrificing trick. Today's
hand provides one of the very few
exceptions to this rule we have ever
seen, for East should have made
discard that would have cost trick,
but at the same time would have
insured the defeat of the contract.
Against five clubs doubled West
opened a heart. Declarer trumped
and Immediately played the ace.
king and jack of clubs. On the
third trump lead East discarded a
small heart, and his partner, after
some thought, led a second heart.
Declarer gleefully trumped this and
then ran off five spade tricks, get
ting rid of his three losing dia-
monds.
While West might well have read
the situation and shifted to his

the contract would have been set

have seen the danger of the spade
suit and signaled with the diamond
jack when the opportunity presented
itself. True, this would have cost
a 300-point trick, but that would be
only of secondary Importance COM

lad had had good reason; that in time he would return to offer it. He was not as convinced now that Sally, although she wore Corey Porter ring on her slender finger was in love with him.
 'T'm not in any hurry to lose my little girl" MT. Blair said. Especially not in hurry to lose her to young Porter, he might have added. But he had nothing in particular against the boy, except that he was bit wild, had had too much of the good things of this world. If Sally was sure he was the right man for her, her father would have to be satisfied, too. He did not see as much of Sally as he had for awhile, so that he did not find it easy to talk these matters over with her.
 "Oh, I'm not in any hurry" Sally returned, stopping to lay 8 light caress on her fathers forehead. That was not exactly true; she was in 8 hurry now. Outside Corey'S horn already was honking impa- tiently for her to join him. Sally wanted to be in 8 hurry. Then there was no time to think-or to re- member. "I'm not rushing into any, thing, Daddy"
 She wanted to rush, to run, to dance-to live on the edge of ex- citement and thrills. Surely that was the best way to forget what might have been, not to think of what was going to be. The only way she knew to try to fill that aching emptiness. Oh. she was doing a very good job, as she had promised her. self she would, of being the old Sally Blair again.
 But not quite good enough to satisfy her fathers keen, loving eyes. "Tell me one thing" he said, before he relinquished her after that light caress. DO you love Corey, my dear? Are, you sure he is the one you want? I rather hoped it might be someone else at one time." He did not need to name Dan Reynolds. Sally would know WltOlLk 1ICA 1dpAlC1 AAAOuA1G.
 "There is no one else" Sally said. And flinched because it was so true. If only there had been, if only that someone had wanted her, then she would have been sure, oh, very sure indeed. Don't fret about me. dar- ling!" She dimpled at her father, in the old way, to reassure him. She laughed, almost too gaily; she blew him another kiss, before she ran out of the room. down the long flight of steps, into a white world covered with a thick blanket of snow, the first of the season.
 Corey jumped out of his roadster to open the door for her. His blue eyes surveyed her with admiration and approval. Approval that held the pride of possession. She was so pretty, his Sally, so sweet, so gay. Her dark eyes were so bright, her cheeks so flushed. She looked like princess in her beautiful fur coat with its matching fur cap under which her dark curls escaped to frame her lovely face. She had been worth fighting for, worth waiting for, worth winning. And Corey had won, as he had known he would.
 T have a surprise for you" he told her, as they whirled along the white road at the fast, reckless speed that carried them through all the hours they spent together. I'm going to get party together, all the old gang, and go up to Lake

Placid for the skiing. Soon after Christmas. The snow should be just right by then. We should have @ very gay time of it. What do you say, would you like that, my sweetP"
 He threw a brief side-glance at her, wanting to see how she would like his surprise. But her face was averted. He only could see the sweet curve of her cheek, the sweep of her long lashes. She did not answer for moment, so that he thought she might not have heard him and said again, You would like it, wouldn't you, Sally?"
 Her anwser came promptly this time. of course. I'd like it very much, Corey" Sally said.
 She was glad they were travelling at such a fast speed. She was glad that Corey could not look into her eyes. That he thought she had not heard him above the roar of the motor. For then he would not be able to hear her hearts painful hammering. He could not see the pain in her dark eyes depths.
 At first, which was why she had not answered right away, Sally had wanted to cry out, No, no! She had wanted to say don't want to go anywhere where there is skiing, I don't want to climb to the top of any mountain. For all of that would remind her too vividly, too poig- nantly of Dan. Dan who had been the King of skis. Dan who be- longed in that white world of the big outdoors.
 But Sally said, of course. I'd like it very much, Corey" She did not cry out in protest. What if it did bring back this stif1ing nostal- gia, start her heart hammering again?
 It right remind her of Dan. Or it might prove that she had for- gotten him. It might convince her that the things she told herself were true, that she no longer cared for Dan, that she no longer be- ieved in him.
 She had to be convinced of that some time. Or she could not go on pretending. She might as well take this way of facing 1t. Dan had left her world. She could go back to his. Perhaps then she could put him out of her heart forever, fill that emptiness.

CHAPTER XXI

The first thing that Sally did, an the process of trying to forget the Sally that Dan had not wanted, was to destroy the letter that she had kept locked SO long in her jewel case. She told herself that Dan was Q coward, since he had run away. She told herself that the tables had turned, that she, the old Sally Blair again, did not believe in Dan Reynolds. She would forget that she ever had believed in him. She would forget she had ever known him.
 She had no use for his letter now; she would never read it when she took it out of its hiding place. She tore it into tiny fragments, de- liberately, cruelty, with that dan gerous brightness in her dark eyes. A brightness that was not satisfied even then. She carried the frag- ments to the fire burning in the grate in her lovely bedroom; she tossed the pieces into the flames. She watched them crumple around the edges, shrink up into 8 pitiful small heap of gray ashes.
 Like my heart, Sally thought, watching them-and leaned down swiftly to gather them into the palm of her hand, to let tear fall on them. The last tear, she resolved fiercely, that she ever would shed over Dan Reynolds. If only she could have turned her love to ashes as simply as this, tossing it back into the flames again!
 She wore Corey's big diamond on the third finger of her left hand now. She was supposed to be en- gagged to him. Corey had made up her mind for her. Sally, dancing until dawn, partying. laughing, playing the part of the gay glamour girl once more did not have any mind to make up. Nor any heart. Only a dull emptiness, taking the place of the old ache, where her heart once had been.
 T hope you won't rush into this marriage" her father said. He was troubled about his daughter. He was not at all sure she was happy these days. She was too feverishly gay, too restless, too eager. Her dark eyes were much too bright to suit him.
 He had hoped that if Sally must make choice of one of the numer- OtlS young men who always had clustered around her like bees buzz ing over & flower that it would be someone like young Reynolds. But he must have been mistaken in thinking that Sally had been taken with the lad. She would not have forgotten him so soon, when he went away so unexpectedly. Sam Blair had been sorry about that. But he had been convinced that the

 THE long-horned wandering
 = caribou is slipping from the North American scene. At one lime, say the scientists, the cari- bou grazed along the swamps and glades as far south as what is now New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ken. lucky and as far west as Iowa, Utah, and Colorado.
 Today two types of caribou exist In North America, the northern type, living largely in the Arctic area and the woodland caribou, confined chiefly to the forests of eastern Canada. The northern Caribou may be found also as far south as the mountainous areas of &he northwestern states.
 There are many types of the caribou, but all are surprisingly |AlilSe in habits and appearance, differing only in color and size. Some are less migratory than oth- lers. The caribou generally is a wandering animal.
 The woodland caribou of east |ern Canada once abounded in northern New York and New Eng land, but today faces a hard fight for survival. In winter they gath- fer in large herds of several hun- dred and dig through the snow for berries and leaves and lichens. In the summer they are constantly on the move, mainly to escape nies. In the Arctic regions the caribou is the principal depend- ence of the Indian tribes. The bar ren-ground caribou or the north ern type is perfectly suited to it's environment. The peculiar struc- ture of its hoofs, for one thing, which have sharp edges, give it a remarkable sureness of foot on
