Clever Coyotes Finally Fall to Hunter’s Wiles LA JARA, Colo. (U.Rb-The deprerthtions among livestock of “Macbeth” and “Lady Macbeth,” bloodthirsty coyotes of the San Luis Valley have been brought to an end by hunters and trappers of the predatory animal division of the U. S. Biological Survey. Hunters said they possessed uncanny cleverness in evading capture. They gained their names, the federal hunters said, from the fact that the male coyote was not as dangerous as his mate and was goaded by her to most of his killings. “Macbeth” was caught in a trap. “Lady Macbeth,” brooded over the capture of her mate so that she was an easy target for a hunter’s gun.

CHAPTER XXXIV. "Wib you please explain this I nonsense?” said Diane, wrathfully. They shrieked with malicious delight “You tell her, Sally.” Mrs. Mcßride explained with mock gravity: “Why, you see. dearie, we-uns have discovered a modem version of the old story wherein the gracious king knights the poor beggar, so that poor beggar may with propriety wed the beautiful princess. In this new down-to-date edition the rich princess finances the poor backwoods moonshinin mother so that said princess may with more or less propriety have the beggar son.’’ Diane faced them calmly now. “All of which means, I suppose, that you have discovered Ann Haskel and her son living in my old home.’’ “Have we discovered them!” shouted the chorus. “You don’t know the half of it, dearie.” . . “Ann Haskel is throwing a party for us.” . . . "All the Lodge crowd are invited.” . . “And are we-uns a-goin’l” . . . “I’ll say we’re goin’, and how!” Diane asked, scornfully: “And would you actually be so crude as to accept an invitation for the sole purpose of making game of your hostess? Really, it doesn’t appeal to me as funny.” “It’ll be scads more fun than any slumming expedition we ever pulled.” . . . “Ozark Ann will be a bigger card thar. that Apache In dian Bess Converse had on her string last season.” . . . “Yes, or Nell Godwin’s pet prize fig’ ,er.” . . “Besides, if we go to Ann’s party she’ll be bound to come to our Wilderness Club ball.” . . . “Oh, boy! Oh boy! won’t that be a riot!” “A regular knockout.” . “Ma Cinderella in person!” “But it isn’t decent of you!” Diane protested “Really, for wellbred people. I don’t see how you can do such a thing.” They received this with a chorus oi jeers “You’re a good one to preach tc us.” “You’re qualified to tell us what weil-bred people should do!” "Yeah, after .ast summer.” . . . "Look what you're doing yourself—you’re actually keeping your John Herbert and his ma.” . . “It’s really more your party than 'tis Ann’s. You know dearie, your home, your money.’’ Desperately the girl told them I about the fortune Ann had inherited. She even tried to explain her motive in establishing the mountain woman and her son in the Carrol home. She insisted that neither Ann nor John Herbert knew of her interest in them or that they were living in her home or that she was in the city. Her tormentors received her explanation with jeers and wisecracks, and continued ragging her without mercy. It was Mrs. JonesWilliams who fired the parting shot—“ We’ll see you at the party, dearie.” “Indeed you will not!” Diane retorted, warmly. "I have a few shreds of self-respect left even after living with you and your crowd all summer Besides, as I told you, Mrs. Haskel doesn’t even know I ! am in town.” When her departing callers were safely in the elevator Diane hur- ! ried to the telephone. Upon receiving an answer to her call, she said, "Wilson?” “Yes, Miss Diane." “Be careful, don’t speak my I name They may hear you.” "Very good, miss, I’m sorry. But it’s quite all right.’’ “Listen. Wilson, 1 must see you at once. Can you manage to slip away? Something terrible has happened.’ “Very good, miss. Yes, I can manage. It’s about the party, I suppose?” “It is, but we mustn’t talk about it over the ’phone. Please come as | soon as you can.” “Very good, miss. I shall be with you immediately.” When Ann Haskel told her son

| should not be overlooked. A supply should be tucked in all about the garden, to lie allowed to bloom for decoration and not for cutting. The graceful spikes of the pri-
of het proposed party, John Herbert, naturally, was not a li-tle disturbed. “But, mother,” he said gently, “you can't invite that Wilderness Club crowd here.” “I’d sure admire to know why I cain’L” "Because — well — because it wduldn't be the thing to do. It’s quite impossible.” “Hit don’t strike me thar’s anything impossible ’bout hit. I reckon I can afford to have a party if I want.” “I know, mother, but it’s not a question of expense.” “What air hit a question of, then?” “It’s a matter of social differences, mother. You know. We don’t belong in the same class with the Wilderness Club people.” “You mean them Lodge folks hold theirse’ves above we-uns, I reckon. Wai, son, I used to feel they war better’n me. Then I got to know ’em an’ 1 begun to think mebb* I war as good as them. Here lately I’ve come to know doggone well that we-uns air a sight better’n what they be. Look at Mr. Belden. He ain’t no ways ashamed to be friends with we-uns. Makes hisse'f regular home folks. Ain’t ary one of that Ix>dge bunch could even come within sight of him fer quality.” “It’s not exactly a question of being ashamed, either,” John Herbert persisted. “Wai, what in thunder t* hit a question of, then? ’Pears like hit’s blamed hard fer me to git what you’re a-drivin’ at, son.” The young man was forced to admit that it was somewhat difficult to explain. “It’s simply this, mother: these people are just not in our set.” “That’s what Wilson 'lowed, hut. 1 done told him I’d set them.” The mountain woman’s face was grim. “But I tell you, mother, if you attempt such a thing you will only bring disappointment and humiliation upon yourself. Please believe me, won’t you?” “Seems like I can’t believe you. son, ’cause you’re plum’ wrong. I know I ain’t goin’ to be disappoint- 1 ed, ’cause they’ve all done said they’d come. As fer the humilia- ' tion, we’ll jest have to see ’bout that later." The young man gasped. “Mother! You’re not telling me that you 1 have already invited these people and that they have accepted!” ' “I sure am a-tellin’ you jest that, ] Soon’s ever Wilson told me they’d come home, I up an’ asked ’em. Y'ou see, I’d done give Wilson his orders to let me know. Mebbe I best tell you. so’s you won't he afaultin’ him, that Wilson tried to git me not to do hit. I done told hirn, though, as how I had my reasons.” “But can’t you see, mother, that we have nothing in common with such people?” At this Ann laughed slyly. “ 'Pears like as how you done ehanged your mind since last summer, son. I used to think, from the way you war alius a-hangin’ ’round the Lodge, you war right smart common with ’em.” The young man retorted with some spirit: “You know very well it was not the Lodge crowd that interested me. I warn you. mother, if that gang of morons do come to your party, it wil] only be to make fun of j’ou. They will simply lay themselves out to make you ridiculous. Have you forgotten all about what they proposed to do for Ma Cinderella?” Ann Haskel’s face set in the old hard lines and her black eyes shone dangerously “I don’t reckon you know your maw so very well yit, Herb,” she drawled. “If you did you’d sure know that Ann Haskel ain't fergittin’ nothin’ like that. I ain’t never goin’ to fergit what I hyeard them Lodge folks say "bout me til) I’ve squared hit with 'em fer good an’ all.” “Then why put yourself in their | hands by giving this party ?” “I figger hit’s the other way ’round, son. 1 ain’t aimin' to put myse’f in their hands I’m aimin’ fer them to put theirse’vps in mine.” The young man made a gesture
| inulinus hybrids are fine for garden effect. The atiffer spikes of the larger and more robust growing hybrids lack the grace of the I more slender prims.

The light blue bedding petunias are also effective as a ground planting
of hopelessness. “1 give it up. it’s too much for me." “Mebbe so," Ann admitted, chce rfully, “but I sure got hit all figgered out. Didn’t I hyear them a-talkin’ whnt fun hit’d be to make a foo' out of old Anr. Haskel? Didn’t 1 hyear them a-wantin’ to take Ma Cinderella to the city so’s they could laugh at her? I hyeard all the names they called me behind my back. An’ 1 hyeard ’em a-tellin' how sorry they war fer you on account of you havin’ sich an ignorant old she-hellion fer a mother. Wai, I son. I'm askin’ ’em all to this hyear 1 party of mine so’s to give ’em a good chance to go right ahead with what they 'lowed they’d do to me if they had me in the city. I aim fer them to git all the fun they can out o! me—which mebbe won’t be so much as they’re a-figgerin’ on. “I done give orders to Wilson that my party’s got to be every bit an grain as grand as ary of theirs cvei war, an’ a little mite more so. Wher I’ve showed ’em what I can do, IT feel some better 'bout that Ma Cinderella joke.” “You have told Wilson to go as far as he likes? You have given him a free hand?” “I sure have, son. I told him I wanted him to fix up a regular humdinger. 1 don’t care what she costs. He says he's got the only woman in the whole world what can fix up the exact kind of a party what ought to be give in this house, an’ that she’s right on the job a-doin’ hit.” As the date set for the party drew near John Herbert’s uneasine-s increased. The young man suffered in anticipation all the agonies which he foresaw he and his backwoods mother would be forced to endure at the hands of their unfeeling guests—the ridiculing comments, the sly allusions and scarcely concealed laughter of that ill-man-nered wisecracking crowd. Why on earth couldn’t his mother see what she was letting herself and him in for? If only she had consulted him before going ahead with her crude backwoods idea. But now it was too late. The thing was done. His mother had trapped herself and him. They were to be exhibited for the amusement of the spectators. These people would come in the spirit of people on a holiday excursion to the zoo. But, in spite of John Herbert’s certainty that his mother was making herself ridiculous, and in spite of his indignation and anger that he should be forced to endure such humiliation, there was a deeper feeling of sympathy with her. The young man knew, instinctively, exactly how his mother felt toward the Lodge crowd, and, under all, was in hearty accord with her. It was the mountain woman’s crude methods and the possibility of failure which exasperated her son. His sympathy with her purpose, and his understanding and admiration of her spirit led him, finally, to resolve that he would see the thing through. To the best of his ability the last of the Haskels would second his backwoods mother in her fantastic affair of honor. • • • Under the skilled hands of decorators and florists the old Carrol house put on all the gala beauty and social pomp of its former years when by the divine right of “quality” it had reigned supreme. Not since the death of Diane’s mother had the place been so joyously alive. During the years of Aunt Jessica, as the members of the old social elan had retreated before the advancing modern city hordes, the Carrol place, refusing to surrender, had withdrawn more and more into its lonely self. Behind the stone wall and iron gates it lived alone. Surrounded on every side by business blocks and apartment houses, deserted by its own kind, it had had for years no part in the social pageant which it formerly led so proudly. As Ann Haskel said the day of their arrival. “Hit’s jest like that thar fairy place whar the princess an’ everything war asleep waitin' fer the prince to come along an’ wake ’em all up with a kiss.” (To Be Continued) Copyright. 11l J. by Harold Bell Wright Distributed by King Faaturee Syndicate.
