"1 haven’t bothere»Lnry head about him,” Roberta told him angrily. "He’s your giiesL or employee, not i.nlne.” "Just so.

Why, I’ve left school.” , Her father nodded. “Still you won't like hanging around idle, will you?” Roberta opened her rpnnth and spoke, as Is the habit of the younger generation, without thought and with heat, forgetting how wary are these middle-aged people—bow quick to perceive and use any loophole given them «“1 don’t know what I want. Except to KCt away from this place.” “Giris who don’t know what they want are dangerous animals to let loose In strange When you .know w hat you want come to me and we’ll talk It over. Happiness, by the way, comes frojn within.” “ She hated him for his reasonableness. - Looking at her bls face softened. “There was a time. Roberta, when you would have come to me and talked it over.” - It was true. To her. as a child, her father had been some one great and powerful, whose coming meant gifts and fun, circuses, party clothes and treats innumefanle. To be with bet father, to walk beside him. silent or chattering as his mpod permitted, to travel with him, to go to his office and see him monarch of all; to be made much of and to be admired by him anu his friends, was as near heaven as this earth could give to Robert Macßeth's little daughter. it was different now. Now she wanted to arrange her own life, be happy In her own way. and here her father, once her greatest ally, to whom she ran tor advice and suggestions, was decidedly in the way. “Don’t you feel like going over your plans with’me?" Her father had been study ing her downcast facA She shook ber head. She was oppressed with a desire to climb into his lap, to put ber head against his shoulder as she used to do. but she wonld not yield to tt. So across the

gulf of the years that separated them, they looked at each other helplessly. - Helplessness being a state that Robert Macßeth was unaccustomed to and declined to accept, he said peremptorily: “Well, when you want me I m here, my girl, and meantime what shall we do to make your aunt’s visit pleasant?" •“1 think you can manage that between you without my help,” snapped Roberta. “Just as you like. I thought It might amuse you to engineer It. Sir George will be a bit of a sensation here, don’t you thiiik?” “I don’t know. He doesn’t interest me in the least." Her father's face expressed a not too polite incredulity. “Since when?" he asked. “Since I first saw him." \ •’Why?" “Oli. I don’t know. He's good-look-ing enough but he has no—” she felt her father’s amused eyes upon her and blurted It out. “no sex appeal." Her father, shouted with laughter and. mortified. Roberta withdrew. She had seen Sir George coming from the library as she fled to the summer house, while her father still rpafed with delight over her last speech. Would he tell Sir George? -Roberta’s face burned, • • • • • • it was little less than marvelous how l ady Sandison took hold of the housekeeping. Roberta, anticipating, the terrible-awakening her aunt.would have when she encountered the usual American housekeeping difficulties, had so far t>veti di-:V|»poitrted. Lady Sandlsoti knew,’ none better, how housework should be done, and she saw that it was done in lust that way. She knew t.hat in Roberta she had an enemy rather than an ally. Therefore she asked her brother, casually, bow much his household bills amounted, to on an average and being told, and I ‘ v' I He Waited, but Roberta Did Nothing but Blow Smoke Rings. shown the hills for the last few months, she had interviewed the hew cook, stated the limit within which the bills were to be kept, promised her a bonus for any and wiped that worry from her mind. She knew she had an ally in the new cook now. had made a possible saving for her brother's purse, and later, when she knew more, she could he more drastic. Lady Sandison. like moat Scots of her class, was careful rather than mean, and providetl well for both family and servants. She was busy working out her pians. and adjust'ng herself to this vastly different life, with its vastly different needs, that she found herself plunged Into. She "as likewise very much concerned about her hrother. it was her opinion tlmt Rob was fur too young a man to be crippled in this manner and she was planning an enetgetlc campaign in which she meant to enlist the doctor,-to get Rob to take a holiday far from domestic and office worries. Rut Rob would be hard to move and Roberta promised to be a barrier to any plan that took him from home just now. Sunshine flooded the terrace, his islahd was steeped In beau.y, yet Robert Macßeth shook his bead as he spoke to h?a sister: “It "as a mistake to tell Roberta your title." “It would have been a bigger mistake to make a secret of it,’ snid his sister.- ’and Roberta’n no easily fooled. If you hr d tricked her she would have been just wild. She’s red-headed.”

Hope to FincL Use for Black Mamba’s Poison

Tn the black mamba, spitting cobra of Africa. Dr. Adolph Monaelesser of New York, expects to find a cure for epilepsy and rheumatic afflictions. Several years ago one of the spitting cobras was placed in the Bronx zoo. He immediately began spitting at every |»as»erby. ills alm is perfect even In the dark forest, and in the light of the reptile house he must have felt certain that he was Winding hundreds of people every day. Stimulated by his long procession of victims he spat and spat. After a while the cobra noticed that the victims did not sink down and die. and that the venom was collecting upon the glass in front of him. Thereupon. he refused to spit, and even though zoo visitors collected tn front of his cage and made faces at him, he Ignored their presence and saved his venom. The poison was removed from the Cause of Hailstorm* The stones which fall during ordinary hailstorms measure from oneeighth to one-half inch in diameter, their size depending upon the violence of the upward columns of air that produce them. Hail, like rain. Is caused by the vertical circulation of the air. Rain is formed by the condensation of drops of moisture in cooling air which grow larger as the air rises until they are heavy enough to falL Each of the drops rises and falls at least once. Halt which Ls frozen rain, is caused by the drops being tossed higher.

“I don’t recognize her at all," said Roberta's Irritated father. “Six months ago when she left school, you wouldn’t have wanted to know a sweeter or better mannered girt" “Who’s the man?” Robert glanced at his sister. "You’re daft. ATfgy ! She's a mere child. She's popular enough with the boys, but there’s no man. At least, there’s no one in particular, that 1 know of.” “It’s the one you don’t know that counts. She has something up her sleeve. What Is it?" Robert Macßeth shook his head. “She hates the Island,” he admitted reluctantly. Aggy looked about her and sighed. “It’s a bonnie place. But you never can tell about young people." There was a pause. “Was there nothing Roberta ever asked you to let her do, Rob, and you refused?" He shook his head. “Not any one particular thing. I think she had an idea she’d like to go abroad, but 1 thought that would come later. Anyway she hasn’t made any clamor about it." Aggy nodded her head. “Well. It will break out somewhere, and where you least expect it. 1 wish she’d fill the house with young folks. I’d like fine to see her amused." “I’ll give a party for you and Sir George- That'll stir up things maybe.” “Maybe." agreed Aggy and sighed. “1 wisji she likes! me." Roh sighed, too. “It's strange the two women I like best will neither of them like each other." “I like her fine," declared Aggy. “It's me she cannot thole. She’s under a good deal of strain, Rob. I wouldn’t give this party unless she wants it. You’re likely to have her make tt a terrible failure if you give it before she's agreeable.” “I wish I knew what to do." said Roberta’s father. “1 know this Is only ■ a’temporary phase of Roberta’s character we re beeing now. but 1 don't like It. It gives an entirely wrong view of Roberta. When she Is nice —is herself, 1 mean—no girl could be sweeter.” ‘■l take your word for it,” said Lady 'Sandison. • •••••• The doorway of the summer house darkened but Roberta did not look up. “1 beg pardon.” Sir George said softly. "Sorry to disturb you.” ‘T in not disturbed.’’ Roberta told 'him coldly. “What is It?” She lookedup at him and ht once perceivetl her error in so doing. Ye gods! But he was handsome! Os course, he knew it. I'll show him he. leaves me cold, she thought to herself. He was looking at her questioningly. If Roberta could only have guessed it he too was, disappointed in tjie island, it was beautiful, it was peaceful; but he might as well be In Sandisbrae for’ all the excitement he was likely to find. Save for American slang and American manners- and this girl's studied rudeness, life was as smooth as a mill pond. “Smoke?" lie asked and offered a cigarette. “Father doesn’t approve." “6h, well." Sir George said easily, “fathers have to have some prejudices, biit I must say yous bld lad is remarkably free from tljefn. Seldom, met one more open-minded." “Yea?" “Jolly good sort, if you ask me.” “I didn’t." . “What? Oh. yes. quite so," Sir George smiled. She was a pretty thing, this red-headetl girl, even if she was a trifle brusque; “Well, then, I voh’mteer the remark.” 4 He waited, but Roberta did nothing but blow smoke rings. The middleaged might be a puzzle to her but she flattered herself that she knew her own generation. This young man had come out to make himself agreeable. Well, he would be left to do it all by himself. But she had mistaken her young man. He looked off over the river and than back at her. "Got something rather awkward to say to you.” he advised. “Fact is there’s a young man on the mainland been trying to attract your attention for some twenty minutes." “Where Is he?” Roberta asked, her face stiff and masklike. To her utter chagrin she felt It stiffen. It must be Why did he make a fool of himself by coming here and not coming to the house openly? “Over beyond the bridge on the road. Be has left hls car—rather a spiffy car. He’s down on the towpath now.” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

glass and since has been used for experimental purjHws. Additional black mambas are being imported, and experts eventually hope to prove that this deadly denizen of the jungle has his tele<»logical place and that even cobras spit together for good. Colonial Architecture When speaking of Colonial buildings, none should be Included of,a date later than 1776. In New England most of the buildings of Colonial times were of wood and were built by carpenters who were also shipbuilders. These artisans developed a style that had a flavor of its own. and differed in many respects as to detail from that done in New York, where the settlers had a Dutch background, which was again different from the English background of New England. The Colonial style of Pennsylvania is characterized by sturdiness and solidity. Most of the buildings were of brick or stone and the detail was not ao delicate a* that of New England. Efficiency Some time ago a section foreman was severely criticized by the road* master for the careless handling of track material for his men. “For instance.'* said he. “a few days ago one of your men was seen to thoughtlessly throw a spike into the weeds. Don’t you realize they cost money?” "1 know they do," returned the foreman. “I Lad my men spend three days looking for that spike.”—K. R. Magazine.

.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■! Can I Learn ! Kr*#-»****r***#*********#»*#**<-»>r**4 to Fly? by William R. Nelson How to Taxi Airplanes do not zig-zag when taxiing along the ground because they are unruly. The suake-iike course is a safety measure. “Now I want you to taxi out," my instructor said through the phones connected to my helmet. “To start, open the throttle slowly, until the i plane begins to move, then cut the motor speed. Never taxi rapidly. “You have many things to watch for—ground obstructions, other planes, chuck holes, people—and joti have a ’blind spot’ in front of you. ConstantI ly turn first one way. then tiie other. , gently, zig zagging enough to uncover the area directly ahead.” I pushed the throttle lever on the left side of the cockpit forward—forward is open, back is closed—slowly. ' Soft earth momentarily held the j wheels. My instructor “kicked" the rudder pedals back and forth slowly. ’ The slipstream of air from the propellor striking the huge rudder surfa e pushed the tail from side to side. The movement started us forward. “To turn right while taxiing, move 1 the stick rigtit. but put on left rtfd- | der." came through the phones. "We cross the controls—right stick and Tight rudder turn the plane to the right in flight—on the ground because j they are more sensitive that wpy.” I did as he instructed and the ■ plane turned slowly .to the fight. A T movement of the stick to the left and a full forward movement of the right rudder pedal brougth it back and turned us to the left. But instead of a "gentle” gnipevine movement my ffi-st attempts were like a block letter “S.“ Having Just learmsl how to use the | stick ami.rudder pedals to make turns j in flight. 1 found it awkward to “cross” them. Then, too, a plane once Jt does start turning it seems determined to ■ keep right on doing so. As we reached the starting point my instructor spoke again. •’Now. turn left and blast the motor. ( then ’cut’ it." ’ I did so and we wheeled around to | the left and stopped. "Now look ail around to see if the j air ami ground ahead are clear, then hold the controls and blast the motor I until you head into the wind.” I By some rather jumpy blasts 1 finally managed to "kick the tail” around, took another look around, lin’d we were ready to “give ’er the gun." ». • » The Correct Take-Off MODERN. airplanes appear to take off so easily, when an experi- ■ eneed pilot is at the controls, the I maneuver seems simple. Just getting the plane into the air is easy, but there is a knack to it. the same as there is to shifting gears on an automobile. “The secret of a good take-off Is holding the plane in a straight line while running along the ground.” my instructor began as we-were about to start. “Your rudder movements will have to be more pronounced on the ground because it has less effect there. \Ve kick the rudder first one way, then the other, to hold to a straight course.’’ I opened the throttle and at the sahie time pushed the stick forward, As we started the tail came up to ! flying position, which brings the ftisej lage parallelkto the ground. As we , picked tip speed 1 was cautioned to let the stick come back slowly to neui tral. It will do so of its <swn accord if not held forward. As it reached neutral we bounced slightly once or I twice, then were in the air and climbing slowly. “Keep the wings level. Kick the 1 rudder pedals quickly if the nose swings away from your course. Try to keep aimed at that red barn over there." came through the speaking tube. Holding a straight course both on the ground and in the climb was more { difficult than 1 had suspected. Just as I’d get the plane back on its course a wing would “drop.” and in making the sidewise movement of the stick to bring it up I’d forget about the rudder and the nose of the plane ; would veer to one side or the other, ! “You wilt notice you have to hold i pressure on the right rudder pedal to j keep to your course." my instructor said. "That is necessary to offset j torque caused by the propellor. Kick ' the rudder quickly and at the first sign of turning. If the nose starts to swing right, kick left rudder. If ‘ left, kick right rudder. But do it quickly and repeat It if necessary. Keep the wings level. Don t climb too rapidly." We leveled out. made our turns about the pattern, and cut the motor to idling for the glide to land. He made the landing with me “following ‘ through" on the controls. <£l 1»SO.
