the cabin among the trees, almost
hidden in the dusk. There was no
light in the window, and her heart
fell at the thought that he might
not be here, after all. If he had
already gone
She rode up the narrow trail and
dismounted among the birches, leav-
ing her horse to Craze as she ap-
preached the door. She did not
knock, but pushed the screen door
quietly open and stepped within.
Bruce was on his knees in the
middle of the floor, packing heavy
box with supplies. He looked up
quickly, then got to his feet and
faced her in the shimmering gloom
of the place. She retreated a step
and leaned her back against the
frame of the doorway.
For a moment neither spoke. Then
he stepped toward her.
"Autumn!" he said, his voice
quick with excitement.
"You did not answer my question
this afternoon" she said.
"What question:" he replied.
Autumn strove to speak but her
voice failed her. Bruce came and
stood looking down at her.
''What question:" he repeated.
'Did you mean it-when you said
the past is past?"
81 meant-just that!" he told her.
Forever"
"Forever-and ever!"
She looked at him for a moment
before she spoke again.
"And you told me once-that I
should never come here again." she
said, smiling up at him. "Did you
mean that, too?"
The slender furrow deepened in
either cheek as he leaned toward
her.
81 meant that, too" he said. ST
meant it-then."
She caught her hat suddenly from
her head and flung it across the
room.
"I'm here!" she said. "That's
why I've come"

81 don't know, Florian," she adj
mitted.
"You don't want to Co." he told
her.
"You know I don't"
81 thought as much" he said, lift
ing his glass. "Well-here's luck!"
Autumn lifted her glass and drank
with him. When she set it aside
once more, she got to her feet.
"You are going to stay for din
ner," she announced abruptly, and
in spite of his protests she went to
the kitchen to confer with Hannah.
The sound of Florian's car on the
highway was still audible to Au-
tumn as she hurried to her room
and began removing her white linen
suit. She changed quickly to her
black riding clothes and fastened
bright green scarf about her throat,
her hands trembling with an I'M
accountable excitement.
Her flight down the stairs and out
of the house brought from old Han
nah mere despairing click of the
tongue. She had long since given
up the struggle of trying to cope
with the vagaries of her young mis-
treSS.
The sun had gone and the new
moon had cut a barely perceptible
silver curve in the pale sky as Au-
tumn mounted her horse and turned
him westward. She was glad,
shamelessly, that her gaze fell full
upon it, and neither over her right
shoulder nor over her left.
Beneath the serene dome of eve->
ming the mountains had drawn into
their blue secrecy. The drowsy muir
muir of the range drifted toward her
and overwhelmed her senses with its
prophecy of fulfllment.
Bruce had told Florian that he
would not be at home. He would
be in his cabin. She turned from
the trail and rode over the hills
straight in the direction of the ra-
vine. As she came to the white
birches and looked ahead, she saw

him hurriedly, as Florian's football
sounded at the door.
Before he could reply, Florian had
hailed them from the doorway.
Bruce drew back step and Autumn
turned to meet Florian, who was
coming toward them, his usual easy
self, his hand extended.
Hello, folks!" he greeted them.
Great to see you again, Autumn!
And you, too, Bruce! How's the big
sheep man? Gosh, I haven't seen
you for an age!"
"The last time we met" Bruce
began, but Florian interrupted him.
"Say, the last time you spoke to
me-you had murder in your heart"

smile.

quently broken then; it is the most
broken now. Consequently, truth-lov-
ing people devised means of ascer-
tanning whether or not the spoken
word was fact or falsehood, writes
Thomas Hayes Jaycox in the Scien-
tific American. They learned that
attempted deception is usually &C
companied by certain visible physio-
logical changes such as pulsations in
the throat, blushing, eye squirting,
apparent dryness of the mouth and
lips, and many other manifestations.
The ancient Chinese required their
suspects to chew rice while being
questioned, and then spit it out for
examination. If the rice were dry
the suspect was presumed to be
guilty because his tension of guilt
was supposed to cause a cessation
Of the salivary gland secretion. In
India the movement of a suspects
big toe was supposed to indicate
deception.
Not always, however, have inves-
tigators depended entirely upon the
physiological reactions. History, in
the Observation-Disclosures field, re-
cords some amusing, yet effective
psychological tests. The outstand-
ing one of these among the ancients
is attributed to crafty Hindu prince
who used the superstitiousness of
his subjects to catch the guilty.
Whenever a crime was commit
ted within his jurisdiction the prince
sent his Investigators into the field
to round up all the suspects. They
were gathered into one large cham

Serve waffles as soon as they
are baked. If they are allowed to
stand they are apt to become
tough. Never stack them, since
stacking makes them soggy.
The juice in apple and berry
pies runs over because the oven is
too hot. Turn down the gas and
let the pies cook slowly after the
crust has begun to brown.
Keep brass articles from tar
nishing by covering them with a
thin coat of clear varnish. The
varnish will form a lacquer which
will not wear off unless the brass
is handled frequently.
To clean gas stove burners boil
them in a strong solution of wash
ing soda and water for about half
an hour. This will remove all the
grease. Rinse thoroughly, dry and
put back into the stove.
Orange and tomato juices lose
much of their nutritive value after
they have been exposed to the air
for several hours. Consequently
it is a good plan to prepare them
just before serving. Buy tomato
juice in cans which hold an
amount that will be quickly con-
sumed after they are opened.

hands behind them. They were told
that in an adjoining chamber was a
sacred ass who would bray loudly
when his tail was pulled by a lying
person. They were further instruct
ed to proceed, one at a time, into
the chamber and grasp the tail OF
the guilt-detecting ass, and then re-
turn to their original positions.
Each superstitious native took his
turn, went alone into the chamber
with the supposed supernatural dom
key, gave the tail pull and then
returned, hands behind them, to
his original position along the wall.
When each of the group had been
into the chamber and the donkey
had not brayed, the Hindu prince
ordered all suspects to extend their
hands in front of them for inspec.
ton.
A quick inspection showed that
only one suspect had emerged from
the donkey's chamber with clean
hands-the guilty one. The prince
had busted the donkey's tail gener.
ously with black powder before the
test, and those who grasped it soiled
their hands.
In the Sixteenth century Benve-
nuto Cellini, Italian artist, metal

his son for the musical world and
attempted to thwart his inclination

i'll about two months during which
time my father had me most kindly
treated and cured, always repeating
that it seemed to him a thousand
years till I got well again, in order
that he might hear me play little.
But when he talked to me of music
with his fingers on my pulse, see
ing he had some acquaintance with
medicine and Latin learning, he felt
it change so much if he approached
that topic that he was often dis

Leonard experienced the electric
shock, which is believed to be the
cause of his ailment, about two
years ago. He said that while he
and companion were in a factory
building that had been damaged by

been exposed when a piece of ma

Leonard said he had been making
regular trips to the hospital several
years for checkup on a heart all
ment he has had since childhood.
He said physicians have told him
his heart condition is not serious
and that it probably will disappear
after a few years.

Youth Without Feeling Battles Physicians

The case of Charles Leonard, In
dianapolis newsboy who is not SEN
sitive to heat or cold, does not feel
pain and can not identify objects
through the sense of touch, is a
battling one for physicians.
The 18-year-old carrier, who has
been examined at intervals the last
two years by medical authorities,
apparently has rare ailment be-
ieved to have been caused by cleo
trio shock. Although his condition
causes more or less discomfort, it
is not regarded dangerous.
On the other hand, physicians
seem unable to discover an effective
treatment.
In a series of tests given him, it
was determined that the youth can
not distinguish between hot and cold
articles and he apparently feels no
pain from pinching, pin pricks or
even a solid blow. Physicians hand
ed him two test tubes, one extreme
ly hot and the other cold and Leon
ard could not decide which was the
heated one. He says he is aware of
a slap on the back but can not de-
termine the force of the blow.
Likewise, cut or scratch causes
no discomfort other than bleeding.
Leonard exhibited deep scratch
on his left forearm, caused when
he fell against wire fence and
declared he experienced no pain
and noticed the injury only when
the blood started.
At the newsstand where he is en-
ployed, Leonard said he was scuf-
fling recently with another carrier
and jokingly told the youth to shit
me hard"
"The boy hit me on the chin hard
