Gay pleaded.' - ; But Mrs. Needham again objected. 'Why, look at him, Those clothes, that hat! He'd disgrace us. No it's better, John, for you to go back to the ranch." Pa swallowed. hard. "Guess you are right, Ma. But first, I think I'll amble down to Virginny to see Celia at that school. There's something about her letters--she's restless and unhappy. I'll stop down there and see her, and then, I'll go back and stay where 1 belong." "Take Jock With You" Mrs. Nesdham was thoughtful for a few minutes. "I wonder," she said slowly "wheth- er it wouldn't be a good idea to take Jock with you." She looked at Ler husband. * "He's been drinking too much, and gambling, and there's an actress who--seems to be a bad in- fluence, If he'd go back to the ranch for a few months--I'm worried about him.

We've a year's con- tract with Van Gordon." "I see. Well, I'll see what I can do about Jock anyway." But later, when Pa saw Jock, his hope that the boy might go home with him was quickly dispelled. "Not as long as I can toddle about Broadway," Jock answered. Pa did succeed, however, in mak- ing the boy sit down and listen to him and, before he finished, Jock's bored air had left him. Finally he took his father's hand. "You're right, Dad, about all "of us," he said huskily, "But I've some gambling debts. I couldn't leave now. In a few months--maybe . . ." They stood then, face to face, hands clasped--nearer to each other than they had been for a long time. Then Jock went out, and Pa dropped wear- ily into a chair. CHAPTER VII A few days later, Pa Needham reached home after a most unsatis- factory visit with Celia. "Muley," one of his cowboys, met him at the depot. "Half this country's got typhoid," Muley glumly informed him, "and they say Celia's friend, Dick Myers, is in a critical condition." Pa was shocked. er?' he queried. "Yep." "You'd better drop me off at the Myers' place," Pa said quietly. Later, when he looked at Dick My- ers' fever-flushed face, and heard him muttering, "Celia"--talking to her in his delirium--Pa turned away with tears in his eyes. He made tracks for the barn, where sitting on an upturned barrel, he whittled furiously. Mingled with Dick's fevered cries, were the words of Celia when he had visited her. "Please take me home with you, Daddy . . . I hate it here... and--and I must see Dick!" He had done his best to comfort her, to per- suade her to stick it out because of "Irrigatin 'wat- her mother's wishes. "Huh," he now mused, whittling slower and slower, Then, he threw the stick away and hurried back to the house. "Want to put in a call," he said to Mrs. Celia." A few days after that telephone conversation, Gay received an air-mail letter from her sister. "lI just want you to know," it be- gan, "that I'm home and married to Dick Myers, who may die of typhoid. It's your fault, Gay -- yours and Mother's. It's the irrigation water, of course ..." There was much more --all a bitter denunciation. Gay cried for several minutes after finishing the letter, Then, determin- edly, she phoned the trust company that handled her money, and instruct- ed that thirty thousand dollars Be sent to her father at once.

His gambling debts were taking on staggering pro- portions. She found him in bed, recovering from a hangover. She gave him Celia's letter. "That crazy kid," he muttered, "As though it's our fault! I would mot even answer that letter." "I already have," Gay replied. "I've sent Pa thirty thousand for the plant and--and--Jock--I want to talk to you..." "Not this morning," Jock groaned, holding his head. "This hangover..." "That's just it," Gay interposed. "You have a hangover every morn- ing." "It's Irene," Jock said miserably, "She's driving me crazy!" "Why don't you quit seeing her?" "I've tried," Jock answered, "but I can't. I'm crazy in love with her. A fellow tries to do the right thing but, with a girl like Irene pulling him on-- oh, what's the use!

How to Choose A Proper Mate Boston Professor Works Out A Test System to Make Task Easy A Boston University professor has worked out a "yardstick" for picking a mate, says the Sydney Post-Record. Dr. David D. Vaughan, professor of social ethics at the university's school of theology, who drew up the 22-point chart, said one of his students rated two girls by it, proposed to the one with the highest score and was accept- cd. Total Score 100 Each item in the "mate-chart" has a score, the total reaching 100 points, as follows: Health, seven points. Intelligence, family (biological in- heritance), capacity for conjugal ai- fection and personal integrity (faith- fulness), six points each. Age, education, religion and busi- ness ability received five points each. Four points each are awarded to the family (social inheritance); disposi- tion (personality); emotional balance (patience) sense of humour, social- mindedness (unselfishness); sense of responsibility (ambition, self-reliance) appearance (style sense); common in- terests (comradeship) and fornostie interest. Three points each go to artistic and aesthetic interests; wealth and leisure time interests, Royal Training For Quints The Dionne quintuplets are to be trained to withstand the public stare like a "royal family," it was disclosed Dr. A.
