solution. If it comes to choice be-

sixty he could still show his son Flor
ian point or two at polo, and that
a fencing foil was still sweet in his
hand. Certain people with a spite
full turn of mind might say that it
was not surprising that Mrs. Parr
had given up the ghost long ago,
but that was neither here nor there
so far, at least, as the younger gen.
Grafton of PARIS was concerned.
Florian's dog, a copper-colored
Irish setter, came bounding up the
steps and laid his head wistfully on
Autunn's lap.
"You dear old fellowl" she said,
pulling the dogs sleek ears. How
friendly he is!''
'Case of-loved by me, loved by
my dog" Florian said, getting UP
and setting his glass aside. He prof
fered Autumn his cigarette case.
Whats his name, Florian?" Au-
tumn asked, helping herself to a
cigarette.
'Tantivy," Florian told her.
Hes adorable"
"You may have half of him."
Florian replied, whenever you say
the word"
''I wish someone would bargain
for half of Elinor's hound" Linda
remarked. Lord, how I hate that
beast"
HAS Elinor got one, too?" Au-
tumn asked.
"She has," Florian told her. "It's
an English bull and he eats any
thing-very fond of griffons."
As he spoke, Elinor came up the
slope from the orchards, her lugu-
brious-faced bulldog at her heels.
She was dressed in khaki breeches
and flannel shirt, and her short,
dark hair hung raggedly about her
head. She had striking dark eyes
and a full, irregular mouth, and
there was certain shyness In her
manner that won Autumn to her
Immediately. She shook hands brief

said. "Tm so glad you've come to

be here In a minute or two. Isn't
anyone going to offer me a drink"

ian said, filing a glass and hand

grace around here, where I'm con-
cerned," Elinor said, with a ieetine
smile at Autumn. you'll have to
overlook that"
You're scarcely human, dear"
Linda remarked, stretching her
arms and yawning.

Those Ancient Giants

The Book of Genesis records
that before the flood there were
giants In the land"
Science thinks it has found some
of them in Palestine. II science
is right, then modern man IS more
gigantic, more splendid physical
specimen.
Sir Arthur Keith sketches the
scientific story, in the British
journal, Nature. He refers to the
bones of men and women who
lived 0,00O to 100, 900 years ago IN
Palestine. He quotes Genesis on
giants and says:
''The fossil people we are now
dealing with are almost worthy
of such a name. The men were
tall; four of them range IN height
from feet 8 inches to 5 feet Il"
American studies of college
men and women indicate that
height and size are a matter of
food. With the diets available
long ago, these old Palestinians
might truly rate as giants.

Autumn lowered her lids in the
quick pain the words brought her.
She bit her lips in vexation at her
own feeble will, her inability to put
Bruce out of mind, cleaniy and def
initively. She must play up now or
be lost, she thought desperately.
'tYou are too free with your COM
pliments, Florian," she said YEARLY.
"You mustn't turn my head"
She looked across at Linda as she
spoke. The girl had seated herself
on the porch swing, her shapely legs
hoisted above her and her feet
braced against the chain upon which
the swing was suspended.
"You might turn it and look at
me-" Florian ventured.
Don't let him fuss you, Autumn, I"
Linda said. He always gets COM
plimentary on couple of silver
fizzes."
Autumn smiled and looked out
upon the panorama that lay below
them. The Colonial mansion of the
PARIS stood on a bluff overlooking
the long crystalline mirror of Lake
Okanagan. From the columned por-
tico one could look down, in spring,
upon a sea of bloom, the white,
pink, and deeper pink froth of thou
sands of fruit trees in flower, apple,
peach, cherry and pear. And be-
yond the rosy nacre of the orchards
lay the long blue shaft of the lake,
vanishing behind misty headlands on
the north and south. Here, in the
ample security of their well-being,
the PARIS had lived for years, a
lusty, swift-living and pleasure-lov-
ing family whose brilliant exploits
had become colorful legend in the
countryside. It was the boast of
j. Elliot Parr that at the age of

Just Good Food

In her own town and in her time,
Aunt Edith was considered good
cook. When prizes were awarded
for the best cakes at church fairs,
Aunt Edith won her share of them.
But she had her bad days, too, when
this pie crust was soggy or that
cake fell fiat. Aunt Edith used to
say, "Well, I had good luck with
my baking today" and sometimes
she said, ''I don't know why, but my
sponge cake isn't near as nice as
usual, this time" Luck played quite
a part in the success or failure of
The Ely miner., 1940-01-18

She laughed at Autumn, drained
her glass and went into the house
to prepare for dinner.
"Filthy!" Linda flung after her
as she disappeared.
Blame yourself for it." Florian
said. "You always get the worst of
it when you run into Elinor. Here's
Dad and Tim
The two men came up the steps
as he spoke. j. Elliot Parr was a
tall, slightly fiorid man, his hair
thinning a bit, his chest thrust out
in the determined effort to defer an
inevitable corpulence. He was
dressed in white ducks and a polka
dot tie, a handkerchief bordered
with polka-dots nattily pointing from
his breast pocket. He greeted Au-
tunn with vigorous handshake.

Millicent's girl! Well, weIl-and a
fine young FLY she is, too. Eh,
Florian?"
Don't I get in on this?" asked
Timothy.
Autumn took the hand he held out
to her and met frankly the search
ing gaze he bent upon her. He was
heavy-shouldered, darkly good
looking man with eyes in which
there was constant and aggressive
search.
Don't be afraid of him, Autumn, I"
Linda piped up. "He was divorced
last year for preferring blondes" I"
"Shut up!" said Florian agreea-
bly,.
I'm not narrow-minded," Timo-
thy assured Autumn. ''My only kick
against the world is that there are
too many good-looking women in it,
regardless of coloring. A man can't
get around to them ALL"
Timothy does his best" Linda
jibed from her place on the swing.
"But what did your pater mean
by keeping you tied up over there
in the Old Country all these years?"
the elder Parr enquired.
"He probably thought it was for
my own good" Autumn returned.
"But I'm awfully glad to be back
home again.
Hell, yesl I should think so!''
Elliot declared heartily. There's no
room over there for girl like you.
You want space to move around in,
eh?" He turned away to enter the
house. well, make yourself at
home, my dear. Your mother had
many a good time in this house" I"
He disappeared through the door
way as he spoke and Timothy took
up the conversation as he poured a
cocktail and seated himself.
We'll, I've laid a substantial bet
against your chances in the game to-
morrow, Florian," he said. "Alex
Campbell seems to think you ought
to Win"
'Alex is wise bird" Florian
retorted. ''We ought to nick them
for a margin of three goals, at
least"
''Not with young Hutchinson back

Autumn looked at Timothy and
gave him a supercilious smile in re-
turn for the challenge in his eyes.

gested.

anyone whose money I'd rather

Autumn listened while the talk
centered on the fine points of the
game, and strove to be attentive to
it. Presently a Japanese, whose
face was an obliquely discreet mask,
appeared in the doorway and an
nounced dinner.

The sun had already set when they
left the table and drifted out again
to lounge about the porch.
Florian took Autumn's arm and
led her down the crude stone steps
into the sunken garden, which was
forgotten wilderness of flowers and
fern and tangled brambles. Here
were meadow rue, moss pink, for
get-me-not and roses, tall blue stee-
pies of delphinium, and white foun-
tains of spirea. Autumn involun-
tarily drew her breath at the turn-
bled beauty of the garden. At the
extreme end of it spring trickled
over messy stones and formed
honey-colored pool in the early twi-
light.
