The White Desert D □ □ By Courtney Ryley Cooper

Fata bad Been fit to shape the life of larPiT HOUSTON Info a series of tragic molds. A Litter eiperier.ee In his past caused his father to lose faith in his Bon aad therefore bequeath to him timber holdings in Tabernacle only on condition that a high output be maintained. Mysterious accidents hare prevented this and Houston, arriving from Boston. find# that this due to the treachery of bis mill superintendent, FRED THAYER. Houston is assisted in his work in the timber country by BATISTE RENAUD, an eccentric French-Canadiaa, whose ltfe has been saddened by the double tragedy of his son's death in France and the unsolved murder bf his wife. Houston discharges Thayer, despite the remonstrances of AGNES JTERDOX, a girl who has a mysterious hold over Houston. The mill is burned. Houston decides to carry on the fight whpn he is confronted with a forged lease, which turns his timber rights over to a neighboring lumber company. Houston claims he doesn't remember signing such a lease. In the presence of MEDAINE ROBINETTE, to whom Houston is attracted. Thayer savs Honston prot ably doesn't remember the night he murdered his cousin, TOM LAXGDOX. CHAPTER Vlll—Continued. White-hot with anger, Barry Houston lurched forward, to find himself caught In the arms of the sheriff and thrown b3ck. He whirled—-and stopped, looking with glazed, deadened eyes into the blanched, horrified features of a girl who evidently had heard the accusation, e girl who stood poised in revulsion a moment before she turned, and, almost runfling, hutrled to mount her horse and ride away. And the strength of anger left the muscles of Barry Houston. The red flames of indignation turned to a redden, dead thing. He conld only realize that Medalne Robinette had heard him accused without a single statement given in his own behalf: that Medaine, the girl of his smoke-wreathed Creams, row fully and thoroughly believed him — a muidtrer! CHAPTER IX. Dully, Houston turned back to the sheriff and to the goggle-eyed Ba'tiste, frying to fathom it all. Weakly he motioned toward Thayer, and his words, when they came,' were hollow and expressionless : “That's a lie. sheriff. I’ll admit that 1 have been accused of murder. I was Bcquitfed. You say that nothing counts hut the court action—and that's all I* have to sav in my behalf. In regard—to this. I'll obey the court order until I can prove to the judge's satisfaction that this whole thing is a fraud and a fake. Ia the meanwhile, almost piteonsiy, “do yon care To go with me, Ba’tiste?” Heavily, silently, the Freneh-Canadlan Joined him. and together they walked down the narrow road to the camp. Neither spoke for n long time. "Well. Ba'tiste," came In strained tones. “I might as well hear It now. You'll only be leaving a sinking ship.” “What you do?” '“That depends entirely on you. Ts you’re with me, I fight. If not —well, frankly—l don't know.” “ ‘Member the mill, when ha burn down ?” “Yes.” “You no believe Bateese did heem. Well, now I no believe either;” “Honestly, Ba’tiste?” Houston had gripped the other man's arm. “You don’t !*■? Y >r. don’f—” “Ba'feese believe M'sien Houston. You look like my Pierre. My Pierre, he could do no wrong. Ba'teese satisfy ” IJ sent anew flow of blood throngh the veins of Barry Houston—that simple. quiet s’atement of the old trapper TTis voice bore a vibrant tone, almost of excitement: “I'm going back to Boston tonight. I'm going to find out about this. There'* fraud. Ba'tiste —and I'll prove It if T can get back to Boston. Miss Jierdon knows the truth about this whole thing •—every step of the way. Will you tell her?” “Oui. Ba’fpese tell her—about the flume and M'sieu Thayer, what he say. You go* Boston tonight?” “Yes.” Weazened, wrinkle-faced little Jenkins met him at the Boston office. ‘‘You're back, Mr. Houston! I didn’t know whether to send the notice from the Mountain. Plains A T.ake Railroad. It Just came yesterday.” Abstractedly. Houston picked It up and glancpd at the specifications. “Jenkins!” Houston's voice was sharp. Insistent. The weazened man entered, tuhbii g his hands. "Have we any stumpage contracts?” “Only one, sir.” “One? What!” “Th one you signed, sir. to Thayer and Blackburn, just a week or so before you started out West. Don't you remember, sir; you signed It, together ■with a lease for the flume site and lake?” “1 signed nothing of the sort!” “You certainly did, sir.” “You're lying!” “I don't lie, sir. I attested the signature and saw you read both contracts. Pardon, sir. but if auy one's iriae. air—it's yourself!” ' CHAPTER X. Ten minutes after thjtt, Barry Houston was alone in his offlde. Jenkins was pone, discharged: and Honston felt a F- rt of relief ia the knowledge that he had departed.

He returned to Tabernacle and attempted the only solution; he must secure timber from Medaine Robinette and bid on the railroad contract. Houston felt that he would be presuming to ask It of her—himself a stranger against whom had come the accusation of murder. Y'ct,' withal, in a way, he welcomed the chance to see her to seek to explain to her the deadly thrusts which Fred Thayer had sent against him. Medaine’s hand trembled slightly as she extended it to Ba'tiste. Houston she received with a bow—forced, he thought. “We have come for business, Medaine," Ba'tiste announced. “M'sieu Houston, he have need for flume site.” She seemed to hesitate then and Houston took a sudden resolve. It might as well be now as later. “Miss Robinette," he began, coming forward. “I realize that all this needs some explanation. Especially,” and he halted, “about myself.” Houston came directly to the question. “It's simply this. Miss Robinette. If I am guilty of those things, yon don’t want to have anything to do with me. But I am here to tell you that I am not guilty, and that it all has been a horrible blunder of circumstances. It is very true in one sense—” amD his voice lowered—“that about two years ago lti Boston, I was arrested and tried for murder.” “So Mr. Thayer said.” “I was acquitted—but not for the reason Thayer gave. They couldn't make a case. A worthless cousin, Tom Eangdon, was murdered. They said I did it with a wooden mallet which I had taken from a prize fight, and which had been used to hammer on the gong for the beginning and the end of the rounds. I had been seen to take It from the fight, and It was found the next morning beside Langdon. There was human blood on it. I had been the last person seen with Langdon. But they couldn’t convince the Jury; I went free, as I should have done. I was Innocent.” Houston, white now with the memories and with the necessity of retailing again in the presence of a girl who, to him, stood for all that could mean happiness. gritted his teeth for the determination to go on with the grisly thing, to hide nothing in the answers to the question which she might ask. But Medaine Robinette, standing beside the window, the color gone from her cheeks, one hand fingering she curtains, eyes turned without, gave no evidence that she had heard. “I hadn’t seen Tom Eanedcn in five years. Always had looked on him as a sort of black sheep. He asked for my j,..' * She seemed to” hesitate and Houston took a sudden resolve. father and appeared anxious to re* him. I told him that father was out of town. Then he said he woul 1 stay in Boston until he came back, that he had information for him of the greatest lmpt rtanee, and that when he told father what it was,, that he, Largiion could have anything my father possessed in the way of a job and comu-neuee for life It sounded like blackmail-*-I could think of nothing else coming from T-un 1 argdon—and I told him so. That was unfortunate. There were several persons in my office at the time. He resented the statement and we jiarrcded. Ttry heard It and later teslifud He suggested that we go to Jinu-r together and Insisted upon it. There was nothing to do but acquiesce, especially as I now was trying to draw from him something of what had brought him there. We had wine. Oh,” and be swerved suddenly toward the woman at the window. “I’m not trying to make any excuses for myself. We left the case, he fairly intoxicated, myself greatly so. We saw the advertisement of a prize fight and went, . tting seats near the ringsMw. They weren’t close enough for me. I bribed a fellow to let me sit at the press stand, next to the timekeeper, and worried him until he let me have the mallet that he was using to strike the gcr.g. “The fight was exciting, especially to me in my condition. I was standing most of the time, even leaning on the ring. Once, while in this position, one of the men, who was bleeding, was knocked down. He struck the mallet. It became covered with blood. No one seem to notice that but me—and every one was too excited. A moment more ~nd the fight was over. Then I stuck the mallet in my pocket, telling r zerv one who cared to hear that I was carrying away a souvenir. Langdon and I went out. together. “We started home —for he had an-

For Beanpole Figures How is your silhouette this season? Os course, you understand that you may wear s loose one-piece frock by day ,nd look as shapeless as a potato sack. But the latest word from Ppris is that the kng, straight and very slim silhouette is the Invariable rule for evening, and you might as well make your figure understand this at once. The interesting thing noted during the past fortnight is that In every collection from Paris there are a few draped gowns, forerunners of what may boa strong revival of draped effects. One of the nicest things about the draped gown is that, If the drapery Is skilfully handled, even a stoutish figure is made slimmer looking by it. And a slim figure is ravishing beyond words'. Thus far tha drapery noted is mainly caught up at one side of the low waist line, and at this point the only ornamentation of the entire costume may be placed —a Jewelled or beaded ornament, a lovely flowt-r, or even a little bunch of fruits. So utterly simple are the newest evening gowns that they depend for their eff.-ct upon the beauty of their materials and the smartness of the accessories worn with them. The crepes are perhaps most popular Just now, though satin is always liked. Muire—a lovely new moire, supple, soft and as ligitt as a thin *il_k —is also creeping to the front this spring, and may be worn more and more, even Into the summer, though chiffon always Las its best season then. For warm weather nothing could be daiiiter that! the new organdie fans, delicately painted in pale color* and ijnounted, usually, on sticks of imitation ivory. These are particularly summery looking and quite inexpensive. Among the .'zather fans, red, orange and bright green are most seen, often giving the only note of color to an allwhite costume.

It is important that an outdoor sleeping place be protected from the wind on two or, in very windy places, three sides. But of course sleeping out does not reach its maximum efficiency if free currents of air are not secured. In cold weathe a thick mattress, or two mattresses should be used. It is not only what is over the sleeper, but also what is under that insures warmth. The b' d*h should be warmly clad and the head aDd neck protected by a warn, cap or helmet. To prevent the entrance of cold air under the bed clothes, one or more blankets might be extended at least two feet beyond the head, with a central slit for the head. Sheets should be*well warmed In the winter time before being used. Blankets next to the skin are not hygienic. KEEPING FLOWERS.

STYLES CAN BE TRACED TO OLD ROYAL CUSTOMS MY MARIAN HALE. "No fashion comes out of the air." This from Ethel Traphagen, who won first prize in the international contest In design In 1013 and Is one of New York's foremost authorities on design. “Most fashions,” Miss Traphagen “can be traced to a past period and the whim of some member of the royal family—often that member was a man and the fashion dictator his paramour. “The present mode Is an adaptation of the lines of the fourteenth century. “The fourteenth century was a period of transition. In the very early days tho ordinary dress of women was much like the habit bisters of Charity now wear. “Gradually that was changed until It reached the long lined, loosely-girdled apparel now In vogue. “In 1461 women found their waistlines. “And," Miss Traphagen went on, “finding their waistline* started a sort of craze for curves and points, so we find the dunce cap In evidence as a quite proper headdress. "It was during the sixteenth century, while Louis XIV was on the throne, that the most radical and importance changes came. “Corsets appeared, dresses were strongly stayed and hips were built out over strong, wide frames. "Louis XIV was young. He loved beauty. The story is that one of his court favorites, a woman with a beautiful face, was quite deformed about the hips. In order to hido thp defect, and yet achieve an effect of loveliness, the lady began the fashion <>f tho very small, 6tayed waist and hip frames. “The bouffant dancing frocks of our present debutantes are an echo of this. “The Fontanges head dress was also a fancy of Louis XIV. It was during a fete that a young woman caught her hair on tho branch of a tree. In order to hold the disarranged lock In place the young woman removed her lace garter and put it around her head with her curls puffing loosely out about it. "Louis liked It and said her hair j should alwajs bo worn that way l SILKS COME TV. “Madame Pompadour and Maxima DuBarry, favorites of the court of Louis I XV, brought in a period of fancy silks, j extremely bouffant skirts, small waists ; aud general ornoteneas. - "it was not until the eighteenth cen-| tury that the wives of royalty hal any Influence on fashion. "In tiie unhappy period which fol- j lowed the latter part of the eighteenth century clothing became more severe aud , then appeared tbe tailored suit. “So everything we have in fashion now,” Miss Traphagen says, “is traceable to soma part of a past century.” 30 IN PHARMACY SCHCOL CLASS . j Thirty students of the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy will he graduated Friday night at she Hoosier Athletic Club Pri'f.

DID YOU KNOW— You should dispense with the formality of removing your gloves when shaking hands with a mau friend. However, St Is a nice courtesy to remove them when shaking hands with one of your own sex who is noticeably older than yourself. You should not remove your gloves during a formal call, even for bidding your hostess farewell. You should not wear the cuffs of your glove turned back over your hand.

“Now don't be so sure of that!” laughed Raggedy Ann, “Your little dress and bonnet was given yon for & real good purpose and let us Just suppose that suddenly you would have them changed to a dress like mine!” “OJi that would be ever so nice!”. Tlllie Toad cried as she clapped her little hands together and rolled her large eyes. "Humm," mused Raggedy Andy. “Maybe It would be nice for her, Raggedy Ann!” "No sir! Indeed not!” said Raggedy Ann, “For why. Just cause. And I will tell you what I believe! Sposln’ you have a dress like mine, blue with pretty flowers on It, and a white apron with & pocket in it and—” “A nice little pock hanky!" said Tlllie Toad “Now yon Just wait!" Raggedy Ann said, “And sposin' you were sitting upon the muddy bank of 4 the little meadow brook and Mister Sherman Shikepoke came flying along. He has very keen eyes as you know, and if your little bonnet and dress were blue with pretty little flowers, he would see you just that much easier, and Mister Sherman Sherman Shikepoke would swoop down and • say—'gobble-gobble' then where would your pretty little blue dress aud bonnet be?” “Id hop into the water and swim down to the bottom and hide in the mud; that's what I'd do!" Tillle Toad said. “Ho-ho!” Raggedy Andy cried, “Then he’d see your pretty dress and bonnet as plain against the brown mud!” “Then I'd hide up against a tree trunk!" said Tlllie Toad. "Yes indeed!” Raegedy Ann laughed softly. “That is Just what yon would do, Tilly Toad, and that Is why, Dear old wise Mother Nature gave you your little brown bonnet and dress! She knew very well that if anyone tried to catch you, you would either Jump Into the water and hide on the brown muddy bottom or you “would scrootch up against a tree trunk; And “continued Raggedy Ann. “Mother Nature wishes juju to work for her and sho gave you these ’ rown rus; y grey clothes to protect you!” “flumm!” Tlllie Toad mused. “Now do you see?” Raggedy Andy said, quite proud to know Raggedy Ann could explain it so well to Tillle.' “Yes. I do!” Tlllie Toad replied, as she wiped her eyps entirely dry with Ttuggedy Ann’s apron. “And I shall always be thankful to dear old wise Mother Nature that she gave me these brown rusty gray clothes and I'm going right home and explain it all to every one of my six thousand Pollywog children so that when they grow up, they will never be ungrateful.” And after thanking the two rag dolls Tlllie Toad hopped away down the little path towards the pollywog play pool In the llttlo brook. “You 'splained it fine. Raggedy Ann!” said Raggedy Andy as he put his arm around Anny’s neek. “I just told Tlllie Toad what she already knew down in her own little Hoppytond heart!” said Raggedy Ann, “When any one boy, or girl, grown up or tiny creature becomes di-isattsfied witjf the way wise old Mother Nature made ®em, then they become unhappy. so the wav to do is to be Just ns sunny as possible Inside, then no one stops to look at the ontslde!” “Yes, indeed, Rapgxiy Ann!” agreed Raggedy Andy, “Perhaps an old, old unpolished violin, may contain the sweetest tones and the loveliest of pearls may be found in the shell of the roughest oyster"’

Our First Year Chapter XXXIY—Mary Smith Advises "BY A BRIDE.

Once and once only did Jack and I discuss our first quarrel. He had not intended to offend me by his order, “Come back here!” He had surmised that I was deeply hurt by bis visit to Mrs. Uerrod; he Imagined that I was running away from him, and his stern tone and abrupt command were due to his distress and nervousness. I confe sed that my feelings had been terribly lacerated by visions of his game with the beautiful blonde widow; I said that I was wrong that I was proving myself unable to live by our futurist radical rules for mutual freedom after marriage. “You proposed It, Peggins. you know! I admit the theory souqds sane, but isn't it possible that it conflicts with human instincts ?" “1 wonder!” I replied. “For really, Jack, I’m getting to be just as jealous as any old-fashioned wife dominated by Mrs. Grundy!“ "Looked at so, I guess we'd better revise our contract!” “Are you never jealous. Jack ?” “I don't think so —I don't think so!” “Then —then we won’t revise it!’ Alone. I meditated upon the situation. Was jealously unescapable for the wife ? Jack didn't care whether or not I played love scenes with Bart at the Little Playhouse. Was he not vastly, different from most men ? This was all too Intimate to discuss with the girls, but I described to them.

D. A. R. CHAPTER OFFICERS FOR YEAR ELECTED Mrs. Darrach Again Made President—Report From ~ Congress. The Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, have again chosen Mrs. Eugene H. Darrach for their regent. Mrs. Darrach, during her past term as regent, has brought I her organization much favorable notice and her re-election seems to indicate the appreciation which her fellow members feel for her work. For the office of first vice regent, Mrs. James L. Gavin was chosen. Mrs. Ben- • jamin D. Walcott was again elected second vice regent, and for third vice regent Mrs. Oliver Willard Pierce was named. . Other officers of the society who were re-elected were Mrs. Henry C. Ketcham, recording secretary; Mr*'." Robert B. Keith, historian; Mrs. Theodore Vonnegut, registrar, and Mrs. Theodore Craven, librarian; Mrs. Samuel E. Perkins as parliamentarian. Mrs. F. F. Chandler, treasurer, and Mrs. Paul C. Curnick, chaplain. During the afternoon Mrs. Perkins, who is State regent of tho D. A. K.. made a brief address to the chapter. Reports of the recent congress at Washihgton were made by Mrs. E. J. Heckex and Mrs. Thomas C. Howe. RESEARCH WORK INTERESTING TO MOST LAYMEN CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May s.—The type I of scientific research going on here at the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ; ogy is enlightening to the average lay- | man, who Imagines the work of the re- ! search scientists to be highly interesting i If you know what it's all about, but of | little practical value to anybody. There is a quality to the work turned 1 out by the scientists that strikes For instance, the average human is a j coffee drinker, and while he might find ! the Einstein theory a trifle dull, he is ! interested to learn that since 1920 two i full-time chemists, one pharmacologist and several assistants have been experimenting In the department of biology | and public health to determine the best | methods of preparing coffee as a bev- ) erage and also to analyze the p&ysiologij cal effect of coffee on the system. I The scientists have discovered that ! none but glass or porcelain pots are fit i for making coffee worthy of the name. The apparatus used by them in making the perfect cup of coffee ia fearsome to behold. Retorts, coils, condensers and a myriad of tubes are connected together and the coffee that is concocted in this outfit is believed to be tbe best cup ever brewed. Complete results will be announced later-when the work is fin--1 .’shed. i A squad of women employes of the lnj utltuU assemble every noontime and are : given two cups of the beverage, one j brewed from one grade and the other I from another. They are expected to file their ©pinions on the two cups and the-o i opinions are ronsidered in passing judg- | ment on quality. ! Problems in which the householder is ! deeply Interested are attracting considerable attention from th research work- • ers. Methods of preventing the molding of bread, which is anathema to the house- \ wife, have been worked upon by biological chemists for months. Experiments in mothproofing woolen fabrics, success in which would cause millions i to rise op and call the scientists blessed, have furnished a knotty problem which ; has not yet been overcome. The rottinff| \ Os timber is being studied carefully in' S the same department, for the purpose of preventing it. | Treatment which will prevent the “reddening” of dried codfish, a -natural phei nomenon which spoils huge quantities of I the food every year is now being devised, j The possibility of extracting sugar from i dahlias was investigated some time ago, ■ hut not found practical. During tha j war the entire facilities of the Dcpart- : ment of Hydraulics were turned over to experiments on the rate of descent of i depth bombs in water. Formulae de-1 vised as a result of these experiments! were later used by the Navy in firing. I All of the research which is done.l however, is not designed to be of immej diate application. It Is intended thaj| I In general the amount of “pure” researcM done will equal the amount of practical.® Pure research is not designed to solve® i definite problems, but is prosecuted mere® !ly to gather general scientific informs-® J ticn for the future benefit of mankind® j The research done is either experjß mental or analytical in character, and Bd divided among the various department®! laboratories in the more branches of instruction. The actual wn® is done either by members of the facullSg or instructing staff, by students who aiS candidates for advanced degrees, or bfl research assistants or associates fin® ployed for the purpose and paid for th® time they spend.

the exciting scene in the park. “So Jack played the cave-man,” commented Jeanne. “He pursued you—laid low your assailant —carried you back home in truly primitive style! "And might have been shot for his pains!” Mary Smith, the practical, reminded us. “And if he'd been killed, Peg, It would have been your fault.” “Seems to me Jack won every way,” Jeanne meditated. , “He did!” was Mary's decision. “A man usually does when a wife sets out to discipline a husband. Peg, you might as well learn now as any time that you'll never get anywhere with a husband by disciplining him.” "Reforming a husband seems to be a good deal like reforming a criminal.” laughed Jeanne, the cynic. “You can t punish humans into being good. Try kindness, Peg. Try to understand Jack!” This, from Jeanne, was sarcasm. A Mary of the old-time training did laugh. '•Jeanne isn't married, you must remember, Peg. She hasn’t learned that there are some things about husbands a wife never can understand. But she can learn the best ways of getting along without understanding. Some of the ancient ways have proved sound —the smile, good cheer, new ideas, gay clothes. Peg, when you feel as if you would like to slap your man just take up your cook book and plan a surprise dinner for him.”— Copyright, 1022. (To bo Continued.)
