touching.

assured him swiftly.
He studied her for a moment and
then he asked in a puzzled tone,
"Meggie, how did you and I start
disliking each other? I've been do
ing a good deal of thinking lately.
I admire you very much. You're a
fine girl and brave girl, and
well, I can't quite understand why
it is that we seem to rub each other
the wrong way all the time. I'll prob
ably be just as hard to get along
with tomorrow, as I was yesterday
only tonight, I'm-well, I'm lone
ly, Meggie, and tired, and maybe
just a little afraid. Could we sort
of-be friends, do you suppose?"
"Of course, Dad!" She bent swift
ly and kissed his cheek.
Jim looked at her for moment
and then nodded as though he had
reached some sort of decision.
Both Jim and Megan were silent
for bit, each with his own thoughts
of their new-found relationship.
He cooked an eye at her humor-
ously. "Of course, you understand
that I'm just as lazy and shiftless
and generally no count as ever, for
all that I'm suffering a change Of
heart tonight. But, you know, Meg
gle, the whole thing boils down to
the fact that I've been jealous of
you since the day you were born"
jealous, Dad?" the astonished
Megan repeated.
He nodded. 81 adored your moth

a jealous, possessive love, the sort
of thing that makes a spoiled little
boy say, If we can't play my way,
then l won't play at ALL We were
happy at first. I was first with her;
her every thought was for me, for
my comfort, my happiness, my we'll
being. And then-you came along,
and took up lot of your mothers
tenderness and thought, and had
to take second place. And like the
no-good that was, I resented it."
"Oh but, Dad-that's-why, that's
wicked! Poor Mother!" she said
just above her breath. at wasn't
that she loved me more than she
loved you; it was that I needed her
more"
Sand resented that, tool" said
her father.
Megan could say nothing. She
could only wait, her hands linked
tightly together, her eyes clinging
to his face.
''Odd, what a Christening effect it
has on man, when he realizes that
he has made complete and un-
mitigated fool of HIMSELF" he said
at last. 81 feel as though I'd been

struments. The release of atomic
energy at the given point OF the
bomb burst will in the opinion Of
these scientists release heat and en-
ergy at that spot of a nature never
before experienced upon the surface
of the earth but it's effects will be
confined to relatively very small
area. One scientist declared that
the radio activity released from the
bomb, if absorbed by living tissues,
would result in chemical changes in
the proteins of the tissues, in some
cases of sufficient intensity to kill
the tissues and in other cases like
ly to produce new kind OF living
tissue or new variety of organ. 1t
is a well-known fact that X-rays
have created this phenomenon in
living tissues and the radioactive
rays from the bomb are practically
the same as X-rays. Thus a man
who comes in contact with these
radioactive particles may well be-
come sterile and be chemically
changed as to other characteristics.

predict tremendous tidal wave as
result of dislodging a huge landslide
along the slope of Bikini atoll which
rises some $4,000 feet from the floor
of the ocean. Another predicts the
bomb will crack open the ocean
floor and let the water into the
molten matter beneath the floor re-
sulting in a tremendous volcanic ex-
plosion. These predictions, howev-
err, are generally discounted.
Are Sworn to Secrecy.
This reporter anticipates plenty OF
action and plenty to write about
when this bomb is dropped by the
Bog over the target array of naval
ships. The most dramatic will be
the second test when bomb is
detonated below the surface of the
water in the midst of what is left
of the target ships. The handicap
under which the lay members of
the press work is, however, that we
will not know nor will we be told
whether or not these bombs explod-
ed at full efficiency or whether or
not in fact they were buds.

THE STORY THUS FAR: Amos, An
MES husband, revealed that when he
was coming home late at night he saw
a ghost bury something in a graveyard.
Also, Amos revealed that he had seen
Meg with Tom Fallon that night. Lau-
renee enlisted the aid of Bob Reynolds,
detective, and they set to work TO solve
the mystery Of Alicia's murder. After
careful checking, they were inclined to
believe Amos story. Jim MacTavish
came in as Larry, Reynolds and Megan
were ready to eat. He was tired, his
shoulders dropping. Reynolds announced
abruptly that it was an open and shut
case, and Jim almost dropped the carv'
ing knife. Later Meg tells Larry that
she and Tom had met accidentally.

Took Over IL Hours to
Run This Motion Picture

The longest motion picture ever
released in this country was Gone
with the Wind, which ran three
hours and so minutes, or over
twice as long as the average fea-
ture, says Golfers. The longest
American picture ever produced
was Greed, made in 1924.
While it's running time was cut
down to two hours and Sc minutes
for theaters in the United States,
this film was shown in Latin Amer

Bassorin absorbs water and forms the

Why BULK? Ii gives the intestinal
