The White Desert □ □□□ □ □□□□ By Courtney Ryl e y Cooper
A father's lack of confidence in his son s ibility caused BARRY HOUSTON to inherit a lumber mill on condition that he maintain a high output. A series of mysterious accidents are preventing this and when young Houston arrives in the Colorado timber lands he finds that his superintendent. FRED THAYER, has been systematically wrecking his plant. In making the discoveries, Houston has been assisted by BATISTE RENAUP. an eccentric French-Canadi2n, who quit the practice of medicine and xstired to a cabin to forget the double tragedy of bis son's death in France and the murder of his wife. He nurses Houston bark to health when the latter's automobile plunges over a cliff. Houston, to deceive Thayer, feigns complete loss of memory. In Ba’tiste’s cabin, Houston meets MEDAIXE ROBINETTE, a girl who owns the adjoining timber lands Suddenly, Thayer arrives from the railroad station with AGNES JIERPON, a girl who has a mysterious hold on Houston. CHAPTER VI. The woman in the buggy was holding forth her hands to him and he assisted her to the ground. •■Wen," she asked, in a sudden fawning manner, “aren't you going to kiss me?" “Os course.” He took her in his arms. •'I —I was eo surprised, Agnes. I never thought of you ” “Naturally you didn't." It was Thayer again. “That's why I sent for her. Thought you'd get your memory back when " “I've had my memory for long enough coldly—“to know that from now on I’ll run this place. You're through!" Three hours later, the !gst of the men paid off. Barry Houston approached the door of Ba'tiste’g cabin. Barry raised his band to knock—and halted. His name had been mentioned angrily; then again ‘‘l don’t know what It is, Ba'tiste. Fred wouldn't tell me. except that It was something too horrible for me to know. I can't be pleasant to him when I feel this way." She ceased. Houston had knocked on the door. A second later, he entered the cabin, to return Medaine Robinette’s* cool but polite greeting. “I'm afraid Fre stayed longer than I Intended," she apologized. “It's late. Good night.” Then she was gone. Houston looked at but the old French-Canadlan merely waved a big band. “Woman." he said airily, “penff! Eet is nothing. Eet will pass. Now, what ruus' Ba'teese do?” “At the mill? I wish you'd guard It for me. I'm going to Denver on the morning train to hire anew crew. “Ah, oui. It shall be.” The next evening brought Barry to Denver, and the three days which followed carried with them the sweaty smell of the employment offices and the gathering of anew crew. Then, tired, anxious with an eagerness that he never before had known, he turned back to the hills. With his rough-faced men about him, Houston reached Tabernacle, and started the Journey to the mill. Into the canon and to the last rise. Then a figure showed before him. a gigantic form, running and tumbling through the underbrush at one side of the road, a dog hounding beside him It was Ba'tiste, excited, red faced, his arms waving like windmills, his voice booming even from a distance: “M'sieu Houston! M'steu Houston! have fail! Batees* no good! He watch for you—he is glad you come! Ba'teese as'name’! Ashame'!" They had reached the top of the rise. Below them lay something which caused Barry Houston to leap to his feet unmindful of the Jolting wagons, to stand weaving with white-gripped hands, to stare with suddenly deadened eyes— Upon a blackened, smoldering mass of charred timbers and twisted machinery. The remainder of all that once had been bis mill! .
CHAPTER VII. "Eet was my fault!" The French Canadian still stared at the ruins. "Eet is all Ba'teese’ fault ” "I thought you were my friend, Ba'tlste.” "Sacre! I am." ‘‘Then show it! T're got shout fifteen thousand in the hank. There's enough lumber around here to build anew sawshed, and money to buy a few saws. And I need help—l won't be able to move without you. But ’’ “Oul ?’ ‘‘But,’’ and Barry smiled at him. "if you ever mention any responsibility fur this thing again—you're fired. I>o wc understand each other?” The next morning Barry went to Prayer, and in a week returned to Tabernacle, thence across country -a camp. He found no Ba'tisf.-> but there was something else which held Houston’s interest for a moment and which stopped him, staring wonderingiy into the dis tanoe. Anew skidway had made its appearance on the side of the jutting mountain nearest the dam. Bogs were tumbling downward in slow, hut steady succession, to disappear, then to show themselves, bobbing jerkily outward toward the center of the lake. A thunderous voice was booming belligerently from the distance: “You lie—un’stan’? Ba’teese say you lie —If you no like eet. jus’—what yousay—climb up me! Un’-etan'V Climb up me!” Houston broke Into a run, racing

along the flume with constantly increasing speed as he heard outburst after outburst from the giant trapper, interjected by the lesser sounds of argumentative voices in reply. Faintly he heard a woman's voice, then Ba’tiste's in sudden command: “Go on—you no belong here. Ba’teese, he handle this. Go •’long!" Houston, at last made the turn of the road as it followed the flume, and saw the broad back of the Canadian, squared as he was, half across the road. Facing him were five men with shovels and hammers, workmen of the Blackburn camp. Houston looked more closely, then gasped. It was another flume; they were making a connection with his own. “What’s this mean?" lie deinarded angrily. The foreman looked up caustically. “I've told you about ten times." he answered, addressing himself to Ba'tiste. “We're building a connection on our flume." “Our flume?" Houston gasped the words. “I own this flume and this lake and this flume site—" “If your nntre 7 Houston. I guess you do," came the -.iswer. “But if you can read and write, you ought to know that while you may own it, you don't use It. That’s our privilege from now on, in cold black and white. As far as the law is concerned, this is our flume and our water, and our lake, and our woods back there. And we're going to use all of ’em. as much ns we please—and it's your business to stay out of our way!" chapter' ['111. The statement took Houston off his feet for a moment: but recovery came Just as quickly, a reooii with the red splotches of anger blazing before his eves, the surge Facing him where five men with shove!* and hammer*, workmen of the Blackburn ramp. of hot blood sweeping through hia veins, the heat of conflict in his brain. His good hand clenched. A leap and he had struck the foreman on the point of the chin, sending h!m reeling backward, while the other men rushed to his assistance. "That's my answer to you!” shouted Houston. "Run tell Thayer!" shouted the foreman, and then with recovering strength, he turned for a cant hook. But Ba'tiste seized It first. "Her-; come* somebody!" Ba'tiste's grip tightened about the cant hook and he rose, squaring himself Houston seized the club and stood waiting a few feet in the rear, in readiness for any one who might evade the bulwark of blows which Ba tiste evidently intended to set up. A moment more, and Ba'tiste, with a sudden exclamation, allowed his cant hook to drop to the ground. “Eeet is Thayer and Wade, the sheriff from Montvlew, and his deputy. I’euff! Have he fool heem too?" The sheriff pulled two legal documents from his pocket and unfolding them had shown Houston the bottom of each. Barry’s eyes opened wide. “That's—that's my signature," came at last. “This one's the same, isn't it?" The second paper was shoved forward. “Yes." "Then I don't see what you're kicking about. Do yon know any one named Jenkins, who is a notary public?" “Yes.” “Then look ’em over. If that isn’t a lease to the lake and flume and flume site, and if the second one isn't a contract for stnmpnge at a dollar and a hnlf a thousand feet well, then, 1 can't read.” “But I'm telling you that I didn't give it to them.” Houston had reached for the papers with a trembling hand. “I don't remember ” “Didn't I tell you?" Thayer had turned to the sheriff There he goes pulling that loss of memory stunt again. That’s one of his b st little bets,” he added sneering, “to lose his memory." “I've never lot it yet.” ♦'No *hcn yon can forget things awful ■ . Such as coming out here and pretending not to know who you were, iou ini <ven remember the nignt you murdered your own cousin, can you?" “That's a—” “See, sheriff? His memory's bad." All the malice and bate of pent-up enmity was in Fred Thayer's voice now. One gnarled hand went forward in accusation. “He can't even remember how he killed bi> own cousin.

The comical figure In red and green doublet and baggy white pantaloons will bring Joy to the hearts and vital lessons on health to the minds of many Indianapolis children when Cho Cho, the health clown, makes his visits to the Colored Orphans' Home, Junior Red Cress and Dispensary Aid Clinic the last three days of the week Cho-Cho's visit to the colored orphans is scheduled for 2:30 Thursday afternoon. and will be followed by an appearance before the Jewish Federation at the communal building at 4 o'clock. Friday morning at 9 o'clock he will delight the Junior Red Cross of School No. 2 with his delightful clowning, after which he will call their attention in his cleverest manner to the essential requirements of good health, such as proper food, clean teeth and milk Instead of coffee and tea for little folks.

Cho Cho will close his Indianapolis visit with avail at tho Finnner House at 10:30, but the impressions which ha will make will no doubt survive for months, for he has been winning the hearts of children ail over the country for the last three years, and has accomplished wonders in driving home his health lessons through his art as a clown. Having secured the interest and attention of the chl!dre.n by his antics, ChoCho entertains them with vivid descriptions cf what is best for them to eat and drink, pretends to weep when he finds children who drink coffee and ex presses his Joy in the most approved clown fashion wh°n he finds children who drink milk every day, keep clean teeth and otherwise observe health rules

Exact rules prescribing Just when to call a doctor in illness or Injury cannot be made to cover all cases, but some help may perhaps be given. if an illness comes on suddenly with high fever, considerable prostralion, and headache, a doctor is needed. He is also needed i.i case of severe headache or pain in the abdomen, especially if these are present after an injury. All injuries of the head and abdomen have very serious possibilities. Croup is so terrifying that the doctor is usually summoned at once by the frightened mother. Se vere sore throat may be diphtheria, and you need th“ doctor at once. An eruption with fever, often means a contagious dlsca se. Some diseases which come on slowly should not be neglected. Mouth breathing means adenoids. Loss of considerable weight means something wrong. Persistent coughing is a danger signal. Any deformity should he shown to a doctor. Deafness may often be improved or cured if given early attention.

BY FRANCES GORDON DENNY. Mrs. Eugene H. Darrach. regent of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, 1). A. R , is one of the public spirited women of Indianapolis who have added to the high esteem in which her organization is held not only in the State, but in National IX A. R. circles. Although she is only in her first term as regent, Mrs. Darrach has already advanced the w r ork of tho society In many directions. She Is especially interested in the education of the children of Southern mountaineers and was instrumental in having her chapter make a gift of S.IOO to a mountain school in Tennessee. At present she is planning to establish o chapter room In Indianapolis as headquarters for tho loca' society where the properties of the chapter may be kept and also where members form both city and State may come for business and for rest. She hopes that from this beginning may be developed a chapter house which will eventually become the property of the State organization, and which may be the moans of bringing all the chapters of the State into a closer relation as one groat body. Mrs. Darrach is a woman of decidedly domestic tastes. Home-making Is one of her hobbles. Upon her return from tho Continental Congress of the D. A. R. in Washington last, week she said the thing that, impressed her most in the work rec ommended by the convention was the better homes movement of the Americanization department. The purpose of this work is to make the girls of the present day as proficient in the arts of bouse making as were the good women of "ye olden time.” While much of the work is now done by the society among girls in the foreign quarters of the larger cities, it extends to Americans as well. In fact the members are urged not to fall to take their own daughters into tho traluing schools and to have them emulate the example of the ancestral housewives from whom they are so proud to be descended. Another thing upon which, the reseat
sooiation. and tho Brick Masons' and Hot Carriers' unions, is almost completed. It consists of the complete front of a pretty brick home, with the lawn landscaped and a brick wall around it. News that Ross Crane has been asked to attend the exposition on Friday, May 12, to lecture on home decorating and planning was given oyt yesterday by Mrs. Martha Yoh Marson, vice chairman of that day at the exposition. It is probable Mr. Crane will accept. invitations have gone out to ail Indianapolis club women to attend the exposition, and their attendance In large groups Is expected, as the exhibits and lectures are identical in interest with the work In which many of the clubs are active this season. Rules for exhibitors have been sent ont by the exposition director to the entire list. All that remains to be done Is to install the many exhibits, turn on the lights and open the doors to the throngs

But their heads were sewed up very neatly and there was not s single rip anywhere. “That's too bad," said Hoppytoad, “for this magic lotion would enable yon to see all tha fairies and elves and gnomes ’n' everything." “Oh, dear!" the rag dolls both exclaimed. “We would like to see the
of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter lias decided views is the habit of smoking among women. She expressed a desire that, ilie Daughters of the American Revolution ns individuals should everywhere discourage the habit, and that the national society should take an official stand against it. It was at Mrs. Ilarraeb's suggestion that Alvin Owßley, director of Americanization work of the American Legion, was invited to address the Continental Congress la Washington. Asa result of his address the national society decided to investigate tho antiAmerican propaganda that has been introduced into certain school histories of tjie United States. Mr. Owsley paid a tribute to the merits of the famous Guide Book for tho Education of the Immigrant, compiled and issued by the Connecticut Society of the D. A. R.. and extensively by the American Legion in its Americanization work. The Legion has asked the 100,000 copies of this book. It is issued In several languages, the translations having been made by ambassadors of the respective countries to the United States. Mrs. Darrach is a native of Indiana, having been born In Cumberland, Marlon County. She is ft charter member of the National Society of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America, by virtue of her descent from Simon Huntington, who was one of the founders of the town of Norwich, Conn., late in the seventeenth century. She is a member of the Society of Indiana Pioneers and of the Daughters of the War of 1812; the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and also of the Woman's Department Club. As regent, of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, Mrs. Darrach uses a gavel made from tho wood of a cherry tree that was blown down last year In the grounds of the George Washington home at Mount Vernon. It was sent by Mrs. Benjamin Walcott, who la one of the rice-regents of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, and vice president of the M;. Vernon Association of Maryland.

The five-room house Is to be awarded to the person submitting the best five reasons why one should own his own home In Indianapolis. It has been decided by the Judges that the reasons which have been sent in from out of town will be eligible to the contest. Indianapolis people will be required to place their reasons in a large barrel for that purpose at the model house at the exposition. Judging will be carried on daily by twelve judges and the best of each day’s pile kept out for the final Judging at the end of next week. Thousands of entries are expected. Rules of the contest for the home have been sent to all the high schools, and it Is expected hundreds of students will try to win the home.
fairies and elves and gnomes ever so much.” “What are yon trying to do?” Grampa Hoppergrass asked as he came up the path with Grama Hoppergrass on the way to the movies. Granpla Hoppytoad told him. “Then it is easy to fix," Grampa Hopergrass said. “Just lie still a moment,” and with his hind leg Grampa Hoppergrass sawed a hole In Roggedy Ann’s and Rag gedy Andy's head, back up In under their yarn hair, where it would not show. Grampa Hoppergrass'* leg was Just like * saw. but neither of the two rag dolls had known this before. It only took GYample Hoppytoad a moment to push the magic lotion Into Raggedy Ann’s and Andy's soft cotton stuffed heads, and Aunt Sophie Spider, who lived close by, was called to sew up the holes. "Isn’t It lovely, Andy?" asked Raggedy Ann as she sat up and gazed about. "Indeed it is,“ Andy replied. "There are fairies everywhere, swinging upon the grass blades and flying around the flowers. Thank you very, very much, Grampie Hoppytoad and-Grarnpa Hofipytoad and Aunt Sophie Spider." “You are welcome," the little creatures replied. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy could now see al! the little fairies and the little elves. Just like all the meadow rrea tures could see them, so when a swarm i of tiny little fairies swooped up nnd flew over the top of the grasses with Raggedy Andy's little blue cap, the two dolls, laughing and shouting, ran after the fairies as fast as their rag iegs could carry them. My, what great fun they had! Some times the little fairies would let the dolls get so close they could almost reach the hat, then, with a merry shout, the little fairies would whisk Andy's hat high in the air. When the little fairies had tired playing with the hat, they brought it and placed it upon Andy's head. “That was lots of fun,” Raggedy Andy said. “When we rest awhile, let's play again." “While you are resting, we’ll show you a dandy fine game," one of the tiny fairies cried, nnd with this Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy were both whisked higher in the air than Andys’ hat had gone before. Then, when they were way. way up above the great yellow meadow and could see for miles and miles, the little fslries would all let go of the two ; rag dolls and they would tumble head over heels faster and faster until they almost touched the top of the grass, then the tiny fairies would xvhlsk them high in the air again and do it all over again.
