Two excellent casual styles are
here offered to petite young things
who wear Junior sizes and like SIM
pie, casual clothes that are none
the-less animated. The princess
introduces the popular nautical note
in its sailor collar and braid trims.
That slick princess cut molds into
your waistline, smooth as cream,
and has the new look of easy mo-
ton at the f1ared hemline.
The frock with notched shirt
collar and unusual side-button faS-
tening is an extraordinarily youth
full version of the classic shirt
WaiSter. Gathered onto shoulder
yokes, this design has bodice full
ness that makes it very becoming
to thin girls who ordinarily shy
away from tailored things, and like
filling out" effect over the bosom.
Both fashions make up beautifully
in flannel, spun rayon or fiat crepe.
and both are smart for college or
office as we'll as sports wear. Both
patterns are easy. and include STEP
by-step sew charts to guide begin
ners. They'll be equally good in
street cottons later on.

moment. I haven't far to drive, just to the Hammond estate on Indian Creek"
 Jim Mallory nodded. He'd wait with her, but only because she might be more done in than she looked. Then the name she had spoken clicked.
 He said, "Jeffery Hammond's placer" And when she replied in the affirmative, the first part of the puzzle fell into place. Jeffery Hammond was president of the Hammond Steamship Lines, and the Sonora was a Hammond ship.
 Jim Mallory felt a secret excite ment. The Sonora, a freighter, had gone down six months ago in the Caribbean. He had found the loca- tion by accident, and had written Hammond about 8 salvage deal. Hammond had been unintereSted.
 There were a lot of queer angles to the sinking. Queerest of all was the interest shown by this girl, this Mary Larsen who came from Hammond's house. You couldn't figure that out, Jim Mall lory thought. He had guessed she came from the man who wanted to pay him, then threatened him, to reveal the Sonora's location
 That man couldn't have been Hammond and 1t didn't seem likely that Hammond had sent this girl to learn the location. As owner of the ship, Hammond wouldn't seek the information in such an underhanded way.
 Jim Mallory said, looking down at the girl, So you come from Hammond's place. But he didn't send you?"
 No ." She lay there, watch ing him with half -cloSed eyes. Her lashes were incredibly long. T came on my own. I'll be hon. est with you. I wanted to find James Mallory ana ask him about certain ship that was lost at sea-"
 "Why?"
 She didn't answer that.
 Olo hammond Know you were trying to find Mallory"
 No"
 And you wouldn't want Ham, mond to know what you were up to?"
 Her eyes opened wide, meeting his with disturbing steadiness. That's right" she said. Did you have some idea of telling him?" He did't answer. He gave her hand when she started to get up and walked to the car with her after she got into the beach robe. She took pair of sandals from the car and put them on her feet. She still looked little shaky. She got into the car and started the motor. It was big yellow roadster with the top laid

He believes Sae b an accompIice of a man who has bribed and threatened hira for the location of . nnys- tery ship. But Jim invites Mary to stay for lunch, thinking he may learn the identity of the men. When Mary asks if she may ques- ton him, Jim tells her to go hack tO the man who pays her.

back. It looked like 6 lot of money to Jim Mallory.
 Since you've played hero for me-" she said, T suppose should forgive you for almost breaking my arm on the tug"
 Jim Mallory said, Thanks. :" Then, as she released the brake: Come around to the Ajax Sal- wage Company's office tomorrow. I think you and James Mallory have lot to say to one another"
 She looked at him for a long moment. Then said, Thanks, Spike"
 Don't mention it."
 He stood there and watched her drive away. He called himself a fool. He could have told her now, as well as tomorrow, that he was James Mallory. He had no good reason Nor keeping that secret, or for seeing her again. The girl was trouble.
 He shrugged, turned, walked to the water. Curly had put the tug in closer to shore. It wasn't much of swim, this time
 There was letter awaiting him when he got to the of1ice at Bar rows Landing. Harris, who ran the office after a fashion, said it had been delivered by uni- formed chauffeur in a town car. That was unusual enough for Harris to note and comment on, The letter gave him a jolt.
 It was an invitation from Jeff fiery Hammond to spend the weekend at he Indian Creek mansion. To talk business. ,(T0 Be Continued)

LAST TREE CLEARED
 FOR RESERVOIR

With a two-handled timber saw, State WPA Administrator Carl Smith and Supervising Engineer F. A. Banks of the Coulee Dam felled the last tree in the vast Columbia river reservoir area behind Coulee Dam. Water in Coulee lake has yet to rise 16 feet to reach the oficial high water mark for 1941. Crashing of the last tree at Kettle Falls (Washinston) climaxed 8 WPA op- eration that required the work of 5000 men for two years to clear 180,000 acres of land. Addressing the crowd from the stump of the fallen tree, Smith said: Some day in the not too distant future these men, who through circumstances have been forced to look to the WPA for their livelihood, and have helped make this reservoir possible, may be operating the machinery of industry powered by the waters of this river"

Chapter II

The battered old salvage boat rolled slightly with the surf. From the galley, Blacksheeps rich voice Samented in a spiritual.
 Jim Mallory kept his grip on the girls arm until he saw the fury fade out of her eyes. She rubbed her wrist then as if he had hurt her She didn't try to leave again, but sat and looked at him in coldly bitter way.
 She was pretty, yes. With her eopper-tinted hair and wide gold necked eyes, she was pretty, And perhaps more than pretty. Jim Mallory looked away from her, thinking he'd better watch his step. Some friend had once told him, "There's Irish blood in you, Jim, and the Irish are sentimen- tai. You'll be pushover for pretty face, whether it's the right or wrong one"
 He heard this girl, this Mary Larsen. say "All wanted to know was where could find your employer, James Mallory, the owner of the Ajax Salvage Com pany."
 'EIe has an office"
 He's never there. I was there twice, and could get no satisfac- ton out of he office boy. But at least he didn't manhandle me"
 James Mallory won't go for a pretty face any more than I will Now tell me who sent you here to question me"
 He put his pipe between his teeth again, and this time felt in his pockets for matches. He had none there, but box was on the table. The girl picked up the box, took out and struck a match, and held it out for him. He saw laughter in her eyes as he puffed. He wasn't suspicious until she rose and showed the table against him. She turned and ran for the comranionway, reaching the deck before he recovered from his sur- prise. He heard the splash as she took to the water, and reaching deck he saw her striking out for shore.
 She swan well, but not too well, and he knew before she was half way to shore that she wasn't going to make 1t. He kicked of his Ghoes when he say the first faIter in her stroke, then ripped off his shirt and dove in when he saw her go under.
 He couldn't find her at first. That scared him. The water was treach- erous here. A wave hit him and took him under He felt the drag of the undertow before he broke surface. He saw her then, 20 yards away, threshing wildly.
 Sh0 went under again before he reached her. She was gaSping, choking, but she didn't fight him. He got his arm under her, felt her go limp. She was so free of panic that he though she might be faking. But then he knew, somehow, that she wasn't like that.
 He got her onto the sand, up where it was dry. She lay with eyes closed shivering, or trem- bling. There was a car parked up by the road, which he guessed was hers. He went to it and found 8 beach robe. He took the robe back and covered her. Her eyes were open now, wide and without fear.
 T suppose I ought to thank you," she said.
 "You ought to know better than to swim after 8 heavy meal" he said. What he liked about her was her lack of mysteries. And he was sore because he liked any, thing about her, since she had been put onto him.
