TO him for that. In one way, It
should help to impress upon him
that this was no country for either
of them, and particularly not for
her. If he really loved her, he
couldn't ask her to remain here.
She left her room, presently, TO
look over the house. A girl had
been sent over from the Waldens,
to help out for a few weeks until
she could get her own household
to running smoothly.
It would give her something TO
do for the next two or three
weeks, while Steve was busy with
the roundup, She needed 10 be
occupied. 1t would be fun, and 1t
would also demonstrate her good
intentions. Humming little tune,
she set about measuring windows
and rooms, making a mental list
of what would be required. In the
midst of that she came suddenly
upon Uncle Link, in his wheel
chair, sitting in the sun before a
window.
She had forgotten him. For a
moment shock held her, at sight
of him-a crippled man who had
once been strongly active. Sym
pathy warmed her face
Steve says he thinks you'll be
walking again, one of these days"
she said. II think so. too. But
we've got to make ii easier for
you until that time comes. / know
you're desperate with doing
nothing"
Link looked at her, and new
expression came into his gray
eyes.
you're kind of abrupt" he
said. so I'm going TO be, too. l
wasn't Just too sure, for a while

wear fancy clothes. But | see he
knew what he was about.
Melody eolored with pleasure.
sYou and are going TO get
along, Uncle Link" she said.
"And now if there's something
you'd like to do. some game you'd
care to play"
He hesitated, searching her
face, then nodded.
Usually High Binder comes
in to play a game of checkers
along about the middle of the
forenoon" he explained

THERE were lot of cattle here,
l. but far too many of them wore
brands other than Diamond r.
The greatest gather spoFted the
Moose on their right shoulders.
Many others had Cass Walden's
Gross Buck on their left ribs.
There was Turkey Track, Pot

cattle, plenty of brands. But little
more than half the total of Dia-
mond r which should be showing
up. This tally, so far, was making
il close to tale of disaster.
He turned his head, aware that
Indian Joe had squatted beside
him, with his own laden plate.
They had ridden together good
part of the day, both watchful,
and both, he knew, arriving at the
same conclusions, though neither
of them had voiced what was in
their minds. Now Steve made an
oblique comment.
Thought you said there was
luck in that rock, joe"
"Yeah." Joe swabbed a half
biscuit in gravy and popped 1t
into his mouth. PLENTY luck. But
warned you--lots of it amt
good"
His mind reverted to the facts
being revealed by the roundup.
There we're too many Moose cattle
on the range-almost as much out
of proportion as the lack OF Dia-
mond r stock. That had an ugly
look. But, SO far, there was no
proof.
NIELODY'S emotion had been
lSI genuine, her terror real. The
wild ride home on the stageceach
might have been intended for
only a rough sort of horse-play
She understood that. But, coming
on top of the other events, II
was too much for over-strained
nerves.
BY the next morning, when
Steve left, she was better, almost
herself again. She was both glad
and sorry that 1t had upset her sc
greatly. 1t was not an suspicious
beginning for married life, and
she regretted that part as sim
cerely as could Steve. But there

New Bone Cave Section Found,
Cumberland Priest Reports

Brother Nicholas reported the
discovery Of a new section of the
cave which may yield still other
important fossilized bones of
American history, through periods
of apparently great climatic
changes which brought different
kinds of animals to that area dur
ing thousands of years.
Most of the bones appear to be
from animals which became caught
in crevices near the surface, grad
ually disintegrating until their dis
jointed bones eventually worked
their way to the bottom of the
cave.
The cave, about three miles
northwest Of Cumberland. is per-
haps the outstanding source of our
knowledge of animals that lived
in the pleistocene era in Eastern
North America, Brother Nicholas
said.
Bones in the newly found section
consist mainly of fragments OF
skulls and long bones, apparently
mostly animals of the rodent fam
lily, but also some birds. Scientists
excavating to find the bones must
wear breathing masks because of
heavy dust raised from the cave
floor.

|GreenbeIt Won't Try
To Enjoin u. 5. in Sale
OF Electric Utility

Greenbelt's city council decided
yesterday it can't enjoin the Fed
eral Government from selling the
city's electrical utility to q private
concern, so it's looking for other
ways to kill the deal.
Greenbelt wants to run the util-
ity itself.
The Greenbelt Veterans Hous-
ing Corp. is buying the community
from the Public Housing Admin
istration, effective Thursday.
PHA has already dedicated the
water and sewage system to the
city government. But PHA has
agreed to sell the electric utility to
the Potomac Electric Power Co
The council met yesterday, hop
ing to begin injunction proceed
ings. But City Solicitor Ralph
Powers said he didn't think the
court would grant an injunction
since the sale apparently was legal
Greenbelt still isn't convinced
the sale was legal. The council
says it never had a chance to
negotiate for the power system
So council ordered it's attorney to
study the sale to see if he can
find something the city can chal-
lenge in court.
The council also instructed
Mayor Francis j. Lastner and City
Manager Charles T. Mcdonald to
ask Maryland's Senators and the
5th District Representative to put
pressure on PHA. The council
hopes such pressure will persuade
PHA to set the sale aside and let
Greenbelt get into negotiations.
The councilmen also discussed q
franchise fee they would try to
extract from PEPCO in case the
city can't get the power system
for itself. They didn't specify any
sum they would make PEPCO pay
Mayor Lastner and other Off
cialS will confer with PEPCO Off
cials Monday afternoon.

Auditing Firm Praises
Arlington S Improved
Financial Procedure

Arlington County financial pro-
cedures, harshly criticized last year
in the annual audit, are much
improved, the Richmond firm of
r. Coleman Andrews & Co. re-
ported to the County Board yes
terday.
while there is yet much to
do" the new report says, analysis
Of the years finances indicates
considerable improvement in solv-
ing the problem of adequate finan-
cha lcontrol. The account keep
ing was more nearly current, ap-
preparations. generally, have been
made in advance of actual COM
mitments and expenditures and
budget operations on the whole
were greatly improved"
The report covers the fiscal year
which ended last January 30. The
Andrews firm also made the 1850
81 audit.
Board Alert to Problems.
"It is obvious that the board
and operating management are
alert to both existing and pros
pective problems and have a posi-
tive program for meeting them"
the auditors reported.
The firm found that with re-
spect to the Pension and Retire
ment Fund, 1--WE are able to report
that with appointment of a full
time executive secretary effective
July l, 1852, plans have been initi-
ated which should eliminate the
unsatisfactory condition of the
records and the confusion in the
operation Of this fund which had
Heretofore existed"
All funds are accounted for, the
report added, and 1--WE found no
indication of county officials or
employees being financially inter-
ested in contracts with the
county"
Suggestions Presented.
Several suggestions for changes
in financial procedures were pre-
sented. The purchasing agent,
now under the director of finance.
should be directly responsible to
the county manager, the report
said.
1t was also recommended that
the police department should be
relieved of the duty of collecting
coins fro mmeters. This job should
be taken over by the Treasurer's
office, the Andrews firm suggested.
Board Chairman Alfred E. FRS
bic announced that a copy of the
audit will be available in the
boards Office.
