wire, please? HELLO! The call is
for the Lawrence cabin, Mrs.
Sprague. HELLO! Yes" His voice
quieted to less aggressive tone.
''Hello, Ralph. Yes. Houghton speak
ing"
The call had nothing to do with
her. Gays apprehension subsidized.
She waited for the end of the con-
versation, not gathering much infor.
nation from what she heard. John
said, eyes" at intervals, asked a
direction, said, eyes. Right away.
Yes. Thanks, Ralph. Good-by."
"This telephone!" He smiled in
comic evaporation as he placed the
receiver on the hook. Everybody
from here to Machias listens in. It's
favorite amusement in Washing
ton County,"
That's jolly, isn't it," His smile,
her response, relieved the con-
straint. II thought it might be long
distance" she said.
''Long distance? Good Lord! A
call from here to New York would
probably take week." He hesitat-
ed, then asked, Twill you be afraid
to stay here alone until Kate re-
turns?"
Her quick glance questioned him.
"That was Ralph Sprague up at
the store. They need doctor at
the Whitaker place. Somebody went
to the store to telephone. They
couldn't locate either DR.. Nelson or
DR.. Branch, and Ralph thought Of
me. don't like to leave you here
alone"
She thought that he was less con-
cerned with her than with getting
away. It didn't matter that this
was her last night here. He was
grateful for an excuse, perhaps. She
lifted her chin.
'sI'm not afraid to stay alone"
'You might ride out there with
me-" he suggested diffidently and
without, Gay thought, any special
enthusiasm.
mo, I'll stay here. Kate win be
back before long,"
"An right" He walked to the door
opening into the kitchen, paused
there to ask, you're sure you don't
mind, that you won't be afraid?"
Certainly not" she said coolly,
wanting to 60 with him more, she
thought, than she had ever wanted
anything in all her life before, feel
ing each foot-step that took him
away from her fall like blow on
her heart.

struck it on my land. You know I
bought this spring here from Old
Man Caldwell and I took up 100
acres around it for ranch" There
was some truth in his statement
but he had never recorded title to
the water rights.
However, he made his bluff good
and they counted him in" When
news of the rich strike spread there
was grand rush to the scene.
Because the vein Of gold had been
found on land which was supposed
to belong to "Old Pancake" it was
named for him and not for the men
who discovered it. Later, when
quartz mining started there, more
than 500, 600, 900 worth Of silver and
gold was taken from the place.
But "Old Pancake" didn't profit
much from it. He sold out early,
for 1000, soon squandered all Of
his money, drifted to Montana and
there, penniless and almost starving,
committed suicide in Bozeman on
September q, 1870.

X-Rays of Voice Box
Aids Study of Larynx

If you stutter, don't blame it all
on your tongue or your facial mus
cles. More probably it's the fault
of your larynx.
That is the conclusion of DR.. Har-
old Westlake, instructor in speech
at the Pennsylvania State college,
based on an analysis of $500 origi-
nal X-ray pictures Of the mouth and
"voice-box" of several hundred per-.
sons of all ages and both sexes, some
OF them Sufferers.
elm singing, in speech instruction
for the deaf and in voice correction,
we have been over-emphasizing the
tongue simply because we didn't
know how important the larynx
might be-" he said. ssThe X-ray pic
lures show that this is important
that the obscure vocal folds and the
back cavities of the throat infiu-
ence our speech very decidedly"
In producing vowels, for instance.
it was found that the hidden motions
and placements of the larynx play
a bigger role than the position of
the tongue. With consonants, on the
other hand, the major function is
supplied by the tongue.
Pictures Of Sufferers revealed
that in most cases spasms occur in
the larynx before they are discerni-
BILE at all in the tongue or facial
muscles. The traditional treatments
have dealt almost exclusively with
the visible organs.
DR.. Westlake believes that as the
larynx becomes better known, it will
assume great Importance in speech
instruction. Electrical instruments
are already available, he said, to
measure the amount Of energy be-
ing expended in the larynx, and
these will facilitate correctional
treatments.

70 KEYS to a cabin
L D A L A r RI N Or E
Q MACRAE SMITH CO. WNU SERVICE

His expression became more reso-
lutte. ''You're probably right" he
said crisply. ''It might not be too
comfortable. / may be detained"
He left the room without looking
at her again. Standing on the hearth,
she heard him moving about in the
room he used for laboratory. Mo-
ments passed slowly, dropping like
water which might not be gathered
up again, spilling, wasted, gone for
ever. Presently footsteps thudded
across the kitchen floor. The back
door closed.
The sound of the door closing vi
brated through her senses. Gay took
a step forward, stopped, then went
running out through the kitchen,
jerked open the door, sped down the
steps and across the clearing.
"John!" she called breathlessly.
"Wait for me! I'm coming!"
John opened the door of the farm
house and looked out across
stretch of weed-grown lawn. His
car was there under the willow
where he had left it at the edge of
the lane.
Goodnight, Ben," he said to the
lanky young man in overalls who
had accompanied him to the door.
"Don't worry. Everything's all
right"
Thanks, Doc. Jenny and are
mighty grateful"
"That's all right. I'll run in some
time tomorrow-today."
A thin high wall came out through
the open door. The unshaded lamp
trembled in the shaking young hands
which held it. John laughed.
"Only healthy one could make
that much noise. He's going to be
an opera singer"
"Not if he takes after his Dad"
The boyish face traced with lines Of
WEAKNESS and anxiety shone, then
darkened. "You sure Jenny's-al
right"
"Fine. She'll probably sleep I'M
til noon. Your mother will know
what to do. You get some sleep"
"All right, Doc. We sure thank
you. Goodnight"
The door closed. John walked
across the stretch of lawn toward
the car. The full moon had dropped
below the dipping hills but the farm
yard was bright with radiance it
had left. John drew in deep breaths
of the cool damp air. He came up
to the car walking quietly, shorten
ing his long eager strides.
But she was not asleep.
"Hello, Doc" she said, and sat
erect in the seat of the car.
81 thought I told you to go back
to the cabin" he said, but his at
tempt to sound stern was not very
convincing.
"You did," Gay said. "You've
been telling me that at intervals all
night"
"Are you frozen? Let me look at
you." He leaned past her into the
car and turned on the dashboard
lights.
She wore his old college sweater,
too large for her, the sleeves rolled
back to free her hands and she had
bundled herself into a cocoon of
car robes and blankets.

Sand you've had nothing to eat. !"
''I'm not hungry" The constraint
in the atmosphere lay like a weight
upon her spirits.
.'Kate left something in the oven
for YOU" His eyes avoided her
glance. He adjusted the wick and
replaced the shade on the lamp.
~ don't want anything, thank
you" She stood with her back to the
fire, now, printing his features upon
her memory as she saw them in
the light striking up from the lamp.
Her throat ached. Her heart felt
too big for her breast.
you'll be making an early start
in the morning?"
Probably"
"Then I'd better fill the wood
basket tonight
He came to the hearth and bent
to lift the basket. The freight shone
on his thick dark hair, on the lean
angle of his jaw. By extending her
hand she could have touched him.
Why not? There was only tonight
The telephone on the wall whirred
and tangled.
"What the devil" he exclaimed
in an undertone and walked across
the room to the telephone box
against the wall.
