Tope offered no comment. So pres
emily they drove back up Kenesaw
Hill. There they could only wait,
while the embers of the Hurder
house still smoked and steamed. In
spector Heale went presently to
sleep, here beside Tope in the car.
A gray and miserable dawn came
at last, through the drenched and
sodden trees to reveal the desola-
ton here. Where the Hurder house
had stood was black pit now, with
embers and half-burned timbers
scattered all around. Firemen were
busy; and steam still rose from the
embers. Dawn became day, and In
spector Heale woke, and took Tope
away to breakfast and brought him
back again.
They could only wait; and it was
near noon when they got back to

came swiftly toward them, with

The common cold can cause in

the respiratory tract and ears, Sid

Calf, says in The Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Nasal congestion during a cold
interferes with circulation about the
openings of the sinuses. This in
creases swelling and congestion
within the sinuses and permits &C
emulation of mucopus which the
hair-like projections in the respira-
tory tract are unable to remove.
This complication is unfavorable to
tissue defense.
'tThe purpose of local treatment
during acute infection is ventilation
in order to improve drainage" the
author says. Shrinkage of the nasal

June woke to strange surround
ings; to a room she had never seen
before, a bed she did not know. She
woke, and lay with wide eyes, re-
membering; and for a while she
was content to stay abed, putting
her thoughts in order, asserting all
her Mortified impressions of the
night before I. . At last she heard
someone stop outside her door and
stand still there as though listening;
for q moment she shuddered with
vague terrors, then decided this
must be friendly step, and called:
"Come in"
So Miss Moss opened the door;
and June saw kindness in her, and
strength and affection. The older
woman came gently to her bedside;
she said quietly:
"Good morning, Miss Leaford.
Did you sleep well?"
II must have, think" June con-
fessed. ''What time is it?"
''Past eleven" Miss Moss told
her gently. "Stay in bed. I'll bring
you some coffee"
But June sat up quickly. ooh, no.
So latel" And she asked: where's
Clint?"
Sound asleep"
''Is he all right"
eyes; yes, my dear. Perfectly.
Just a few burns and blisters."
"He was so brave" June whis-
pered proudly; and Miss Moss said
srnilingly:
"He's sleeping like a child. He
took Inspector Tope out there last
night, after you went to bed; but
he came back soon himself, and
took care of him."
June nodded. "You've always
taken care of him, haven't your"
"Since his mother died, yes.-Of
him and of Clara"
The girl insisted on arising; and
she and Miss Moss had long hour
together before Clint woke at all,
moving quietly, speaking in half
whispers so that he might not be
disturbed. Once the telephone rang,
and Miss Moss answered it. June
heard her speak in a steady mega
ton to some insistent one, and
guessed the truth before Miss Moss
confessed to her.
"That was your cousin" the old
er woman explained. .Mr. Taine
wanting you to come home. He said
he would come fetch you."
"Rab or Asa?" June asked, al
most fearfully. =
II don't know
'Oh, don't want to CO." the
girl declared. II can't bear to go
back there" a
"You need not" Miss Moss as
sured her calmly. ''You will stay
here as long as you choose, my
DEAR" She smiled and lifted the re-
ceiver off the hook. "We'n not even
answer the telephone" she de-
clared. Besides, it might wake
Clint. He needs Sleep"
II want to see him." June adj
mitted, her cheeks bright; Miss
Moss smiled, and on a sudden i'm
pulse put her arm around the girl.
Later Miss Moss heard buzzing
in the telephone, and it continued
so persistently that she lifted the
receiver. This was Aunt Evie, in
sisting in her even, pitiless tones
that June come home. But Miss
Moss yielded not an inch; and June,
when she heard who it was, cried:
81 can't, Miss Moss. Mothers
dead, and now Grandma. Oh, ]
can't 60 back to them"
Her voice was raised; it may have
reused Clint, asleep in Inspector
TOPICS own bed. He came in pa
jamas to the door, his hair rumpled,
his eyes drowsy, still not fully
walked. But when June saw him
there, she ran into his arms, and
he held her close; and Miss Moss
said in a deep and tender mirth:
"She wouldn't be happy till you
did wake up, Clint. ! couldn't please
her."

At one place this tough compost
ton, harder than wood, had been
whitfield with a knife till the soft
metal conveyer within was exposed.
This metal now was fused. The COM
position was smutted all around the
opening. The whole was set as
though it had lain in water.
And Chief Mason cried tri-
umphantly: "There you are! That's
how it was DONE"
Tope turned the thing in his hand.
"Just how do you mean?" he asked.
And the Chief explained:
Someone turned on the gas in
the cellar, let it run for a while;
then he short-circuited the light
wires, somehow, and blew this fuse.
The flash would set off the gas"
And he added: "It was a piece of
luck we got this. The explosion
must have blown it off the wall,
and it fell in a drain-ditch full of
water, didn't burn"
Inspector Tope felt a quick pre-
monition of success. It was such
accidents as this which had be-
trayed murderers before, and would
again. He looked at Inspector Heale
wondering whether the other had
the same thought; but Heale's eyes
were fixed on someone little dis
lance off, and when Tope swung
that way, he saw the man whom
June had called Uncle Jim APP
preaching them at swift long
strides.
He came near, and he cried:
'sWhere's--Miss Leaford?"
Heale said harshly: ssWhere've
you been? I've been looking for
you."
Glovere made an impatient ges-
ture. ''Is she all right" he in
sisted.
Tope said gently: eyes, she's all
right, Mr.. Leaford."
And at that word Heale swung
toward him, then back to the other
man. "You Mr.. Leaford?" he de-
manded in a quick establishment.

Natures Children
Torrey's Pine
(Pinus Torreyana, Parry
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

In this genus we have 800 hun
dred species and varieties described
and named. They have many things
in common, but there is always
some distinguishing mark that gives
them individuality.
Torreys pine may be identified
by its very dark green tufted leaves,
whiche grow to the extraordinary
length of 9 to 13 inches, and in
clusters of fives in close, tight
sheaths.
1t is rather isolated in its range,
which is on strip of land eight
miles long and less than two miles
wide. 1t is found along the entrance
of the Soledad River in Southern
California, and also on the neigh
boring Island of Santa Rosa.
Shows Courage.
This pine is courageous and de-
termined to make the most of its
opportunities. When you find that
any plant develops special ways
and means for survival, you know
that it has been making every effort
for the continuance OF its own.
We find that the cones are very
abundant, assuring many, many
seed children. The cones. are oval
in shape, woody and heavy. The
scales are set with strong recurring
beaks. The nuts are large, thick
and edible.
In going through the homelands
of Torrey's pine. yeu will notice
that there will be many healthy
and vigorous offspring growing up
among the older generation.
The wood of this pine is not
especially in demand. and in fact
we have so many other pines that
are far superior to 1t for lum-
ber purposes, that this pine is per-
mitted to have its own way in the
spot it has selected. So we can be
fairly assured that these lovely pines
will for some time to come keep
up their quota. Where they are
Evening star., 1939-03-01

established they make lovely sight
and pay for their place in the sun
by their decorative value as we'll as
holding soil in its place.
Resinous Wood.
The wood is heavy, resinous,
coarse grained, and usually of a
dark color. Because of the large
amount of resin, saws would soon
become coated with this sticky SUBJ
stance or be unable to be of much
use in reducing the wood to usable
lengths.
The Indians and the Mexicans at
one time depended greatly upon
this pine for its edible nuts. AS they
were SO large they were often
roasted and ground into meal.
When ripe they were eaten raw.
Many very palatable, nourishing
dishes were made from them, and
no doubt these rich seeds helped to
save many from starving.

Chongesm Week
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July IA slow
decline in commodity prices, CEN
tering in farm staples, carried the
Associated Press index of IS basic
products down this week for the
fifth consecutive loss.
Recessions for the most part were
small and in spots there were signs
of renewed buying on a larger
scale, as in world sugar futures
and in the export copper market
near the week end.
Outstanding was a scramble to
accumulate "copper" for foreign &C
count. Trade rep orts said nearly
$4,000 tons of copper were bought
yesterday for export channels, pre-
sumably destined in large part to
supply metal for the great arma-
ment programs of the chief indus
trial nations.
War Scare Watched.
A new war scare, rising out of
the Danzig question and fore
bodings Of a severe summer crisis
in statements by Premier Daladier
OF France and other European dig
nitaries, was watched in commodity
circles with varied emotions. Grains
at times were inclined to rally, but
in most markets the tendency was
to stick close to shore until the
outlook clears.
The Associated Press 35-comodity
index receded to $3.50 from 66 30
the preceding week, but was only
a little under the comparable 66 80
a year ago. Meanwhile, the big
staples of world trade have been
moving in narrow range which
now represents the longest period
OF stability commodity markets have
enjoyed since 1929.
Replenishment of inventories, 1t
appeared, provided a prop for Ger
tain wholesale markets, notably cot
ton textiles. Prices in these lines,
which generally were considered be-
low. production costs, have moved
up recently against the trend in
farm products and metals.
Rains Help Crops.
Abundant rains in many places
improved the crop outlook and
thereby kept the agricultural sur
plus problem in the forefront of
market attention. A rally in hogs
was an important exception to the
weeks main line of movement.
