to the left front door, both tenders, and the
running board caused a half day's delay mi ii gated
somewhat by the other dr1veris offer to pay for the
damages.

Professional Names

Of US feel that IT is not improper

Cleanliness Secret
OF Personal Charm

Cleanliness is one Of the sound
principles on which true sttrac-
tiveness is based. No fastidious
woman, determined to appear at
her best day in and day out, I'M
derestimates for a moment the
importance of a daily bath or OF
hair which looks, smells and Is
clean.
She may battle in the morning
or at night before going to bed or
Just before dinner. She may pre-
fer a shower to q tub. She may
like bath oils and after-bath To-
tions or she may not. Her pref
erences in these matters are not
so very important. What is i'm
portant Is the fact that she does
take a bath every single day.
With the blunt end of an or
ange stick or with little brush.
she cleans her nails every cay.
She knows that dark polish con-
ceals dirt under the nails. but she
won't stand for any covering-up
business. Her nails are clean, poll
ish or no. So are her ears.
She has. or gives herself, q
shampoo once a week. At least
three nights, between shampoos.
she brushes her hair with 8 clean
brush and remembers TO wipe the
brush on a towel after every ten
or Is strokes. Besides stimulating
the scalp and being good for the
hair. the brushing removes the
days accumulation Of dust and
CRIME.

CHAPTER TWO
At first Steve made light of his
failure TO find help. But that was
because Mark, conscious for the
time being. watched him gravely
and listened anxiously for every
word.
Il was afraid to explore long.
steve explained unconvincingiy. Il
thought I might lose my way and
the afternoon was getting late. To-
morrow morning I'll start out
early. I'm sure there are houses
near"
Clothes Torn
Mark closed his eyes as though
satisfied with the explanation.
But Doris knew that the ex-
PLANTATION was a very inadequate
enc. 1t was true the sun hung low
to the horizon but the world was
still bright. Besides Steve had
been gone for many hours.
Too, he must have travelled
miles. His clothes were torn and
his face and hands scratched on
the underbrush.
After Mark slept, Steve reused
himself from his exhaustion. I'VE
ought TO build a fire here on the
beach. II they send a rescue
plane"
"A rescue plane Tears of re-
lief flooded Doris eyes. II hadn't
thought of that. A rescue plane !?
Why surely they will.
When they fail to hear from US
by radio-they'n send help. OF
course. That stands to reason.
Not once all day have I thought Of
that. thought your finding
someone would be our only help"
Steve was almost kind as they
talked over their plight.
IT didn't see sign of human
habitation. I'm convinced we're in
the wilds of northern Ontario, 100
miles from any camp or village"
But surely rescue plane"
No Message
Doris. we didn't have any time
to send out a message. No one
will know where we are. We were
off our course to begin with. Even
that doesn't sound like very much
Of hope"
Steve got YEARLY to his feet
1--WE can light fire. I've got my
cigaret lighter. I didn't smoke
all day. The lighter is tricky and
was afraid it might fail. II we
get fire going once we can keep
it going
But wood of the burnable kind
was not easy to find. Underbrush,
most of it green, there was an
abundance. Driftwood, too, but
most of it was damp.
Steve piled some rocks around
a scooped-out hole in the sand
I'VE can start our fire going here
A small one. Well have to keer

tured. At least it was something
that Steve was even civil in his
remarks to her.
Just as soon as the sun goes
down below the horizon it will be
cold"
In early October? ?"
Sometimes the lakes start
freezing over in this country by
early September. If we have q
siege here of three or four days
until they find US"
Three or four days" Doris
could not keep the dismay out OF
her voice.

wood he had hesped up carefully.
IF you know any prayers batter
trot them out. Because IL this fire
doesn't burn. it'll be a whole lot
less comfortable for Us tonight
than II il right now
But the fire did burn, miracle
though il was. They watched II
breathlessly. First q few Of the
dry leaves Steve had gathered to-
sether ignited and then some OF
the bare brush.
Presently the fire was sending
out a warm, cheering glow. Il
know now Doris said softly.
how the first cave woman must
have felt when the first fire was
built in front of her cave"
Many a man as hungry, tired.
discouraged as Stephen Carleton
might have found a moment to
gaze at Doris with admiration.
True. she wasn't well groomed
at the instant. Her face, devoid
of makeup, was grimy, her curly
red hair hung in witch-like wisps
around the piquant oval Of her
face and, her tired eyes had lost
much of their sparkle.
Even her pretty. petulsnt mouth
dropped just a little. Her shirt,
open at the neck. was torn, and
her jodhpurs and boots were
scratched and torn by scrambling
over the rocky ledge
Yet, in spite of the deficiencies
of her makeup, Doris was beau
tiful girl. She needed comfort and
encouragement.
Pressing Demands
But more pressing demands than
talking with q beautiful girl occu-
pied Steve's mind. 1T sounds very
pretty to think of the way the first
cave woman must have felt about
a fire in front of her cave" he OBJ
served enthusiastically, but
you've got more important things
to think about.
We've gathered wood to last
less than two hours. We've got
long, dark night ahead Of us.
II don't know what kind of ami
mails wen find in this heaven
forsaken part of the world, but de-
pend upon it, therell be animals,
and the only way we can keep
them off of us will be by a fire,
and a big one"
This brush will burn" Doris
suggested.
Maybe. We can't be too sure
of that, it's plenty green. We can't
waste any of the precious daylight
hours"
Dorts worked uncomplainingly
Her back ached with pulling up
the stubborn underbrush and carry
ing heavy driftwood. Her bare
hands were stung by the nettles.
But not until the last rays of the
dying sun sent its glow over the
lake did Stephen Carleton relax his
industriousness in gathering wood
and preparing for tie night ahead.
First Watch
Doris was shaking with nervous
exhaustion when Steve decided
they had enough wood. used with
care, to last them through the
night. I'll take the first watch
Of the night" he told the tired girl.
THE first watch? I don't un-
derstand."
I'VE aren't on a picnic" Steve
declared promptly. You'd better
try to understand our situation
more clearly. Since you persisted
