She came to his door and with her she brought Hayward. "Jim," she began, "Mr. Hayward has been trying to tell me something --" "What? Already?' A flame leaped jnto Rowan's eyes as he turned them upon the Bonanza foreman. "Yes, already! It's best to have it out and over with," the latter declar- ed, doggedly. "1 asked him to say it before you, Jim if -- if he insists upon saying it at all." "I merely started to tell her why she could not afford to have anything further to do 'with you," the visitor announced. "I tried to tell her that I love her and want to marry her; that I'll give her a home and end all of her troubles." "What was it you said about Jim?" the girl insisted quietly. Hayward told her; frankly, brutally he repeated what he had previously said. Jim listened in silence. "Is it true?" Rose turned a strained, white face upon the Michigan Kid. , "Most of it is. Not that about the killing of Thompson, of course. He shot himself because he had lost the comZgly mcney." of Killed No Women "Rose, will you let me take you to town?" Hayward asked, earnestly. Slowly the girl shook her head. "Jim has arranged to drive me in. I'm sorry you didn't wait a while before -- I've had a good deal to bear." When the young man scowled at Rowan and op- ened his lips to protest, she smiled faintly. "I'll be perfectly safe with him. The Michigan Kid hasn't been accused of killing women, has he?" ' "Very well. I'm sorry too, that it had to come at a time like this. But I thought it best. I'll see you tomor- row, Rose. Forgive me if I've been too rough. It's only because --" The spea- ker stammered, choked then he turn- ed and went out into the chill twilight. When the crunch of his footsteps had died out Rose inquired, simply: "Why did you do it, Jim?" Rowan answered carelessly: "Oh, I am just naturally a bad sort, I guess! No great amount of character. I did want money, and gambling was the easiest way to get it. "I don't mean that. Why did you come out here with father, the way you did?" . "Well now, I'm not sure that I can explain unless it was because of that hunch I told you about," Jim manag- ed a splendid assumption of sincer- ity. "We gamblers play hunches, you know. And say, it just proves there is something in them. "A mighty queer thing happened to- day, Rose. I didn't mean to tell you yet, but your father was right. There is pay on this claim!" said Rowan. "Please don't let us talk about it." It's All Yours "But Rose, listen! While I was dig- ging up there on the rim the gravel looked good. I took some of it down to the creek and tested it. I can't be- PAIN ACROSS KIDNEYS! OU may pro- long life by taking the advice of a famous phy- sician, which is: "Keep the kidneys in good order, avoid too much meat, salt, alcohol or tea." Drink plenty of pure water and drive the uric acid out of the system by taking A-nurie in tablet form. It is the discovery of Dr, Pierce of the Invalids Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Sold by all druggists. Read what Mrs. W. Horton, 76 Poulette St., Hamilton, Ont., said: "The kidney se- cretions passed too frequently at times and burned. "When I stood on my feet awhile I would get such a pain across my kidneys. My feet and ankles swelled too. Before I had finished using a bottle of Dr. Pierce's A-nuric 1 felt so much better." Buy now! C gin to guess what wag in it, but it was rich. You're a rich woman. There's no mistake. It wasn't a 'prospect,' it was big pay, coarse gold!" For a while the girl sat silent, then abruptly she hid her face in her hands. "Oh! The pity of it!" she cried. "After he had worked so long and en- dured so much! Poor father! So pa- tient, so gentle, so old --!" Tears then stole through her fingers. "He told us he would land in the pay-and we would nat believe him. But I know he's glad, for it was you he wanted it for, not himself, and every- thing has come out just the way he would have had it. I -- I'll bet he's happy at last." "Pshaw! That 'partnership' arrange- ment was a joke. I've got money, lots of it. I could have made things a good deal easier for him and for you, but I didn't dare. No, Rose, it's all yours and you have nothing to worry about any more. You needn't pay any atten- tion to what Hayward said, unless you want to. I know you like him and -- he's a mighty nice boy. He has the courage and he loves you. "But, Jim, I don't love him. I don't even like him any more." "Then, that's that!" Rowan declar- ed heartily. "I love somebody else." The girl lift- ed her tear-stained face. "I'm in love with a boy from our old town. I think I must have cared for him ever since I wag a little girl. And I've been in his thoughts, too. He has carried my pic- ture constantly." "Well, well! That's certainly nice." Jim could think of nothing else to say. Found the Picture "He's an unselfish boy. He did a great deal for his father. I think he'd give hig life for me. And yet he has never said that he loves me. I had to find it out by chance." : "Rose!" All the reserve, all the counterfeit cheerfulness of the Michi- gan Kid, fell away. It was Jim Rowan, the Dover boy, who stared at her with working face, and exclaimed in a voice suddenly grown hoarse. "You -- found that picture!" "Yes, that night when I was looking for medicine. How long have you had ity / "Ryver since the day you graduated. I've always loved you, ever since I was a ragged kid and you drove by in your wicker pony cart. Rose dear, it was because of you that I gambled. I wanted money. I think I'd have killed to get it -- almost: I went through hell again because -- well, because of the hell I'd been through. I -- I'm not much of a man. I'm afraid you've made a mistake --" } : Jim did not finish for the girl held up her arms to him and said, quaver- ingly, like a weary child: "Take me, Jim. Please! tired!" So it was that The Michigan Kid's luck held through to the finish.

Very soon 'they too hegan using this na- tive sweet and have improved on the quality and methods of production ever since.

Coiffure For 1938 Is Custom-Built See End of Platinum and Popu- | larity of Brass Blondes Milady's coiffure will be "custom- built" for 1938, style leaders conven- ing at St. Louis last week announced. At the same time, they predicted the end of "platinum" blondes and a preponderance of "brass" hued tresses for the year. Stani Mars, New York, president of the coiffure division of the National Hairdressers' and Cosmetologists' As- sociation, led those who foresaw the new "brass" hair style. "The upward trend of hairdress is apparent," he added. "As for length, women will prefer about four or five inches for the back." Individualized Styles Mare Gartman, of Chicage, presi- dent of that city's association, ex- plained the "custom-built" coiffure. "By custom hairdressing, we mean individualized hairdressing," he said. "Beauty operators will spend more time studying their clients' hair be- fore they begin, examining texture, natural lines of growth the determin- ing what style best fits the face." Gartman warned that "such care costs more than less thorough meth- ods," but claimed much better results would be obtained and home care would be easier. "Then, too, the customer has the satisfying feeling that her hair is done in a manner best suited to her as an individual."

AAAAAAAAAAA a Past Decade Sees Orchid Less Rare Now Is One of Best-Loved Flow- ers In Any Large Exhi- bition Orchids were a novelty even to the best flower growers at the time of the Great War, rarely seen by the public, Today they are as familiar as roses to almost any assembly. Their period of popularity began in Boston with the election of the late Albert C. Burrage to the presi. dency of. the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society. He sponsored the debut of the orchid and for ten years watched its upward career under his own guidance until the orchid be= came one of the best-loved flowers in any large flower show. Even the American Orchid Society came to Boston to give a show. Process of Cross-Pollenization Side by side with the great pink and white heads of the Cattleya, large as dinner plates, will be orchids' whose blooms are not much larger than the head of a pin. More deli cate hues of purer colors are never found than these flowers present. In. this work of developing the science of orchid culture, Robert Doig, of the, Burrage Shows, has had the aid of his sister, who has become a special- ist in her particular field, that of taking the pollen from one: orchid: flower and placing it in the IIUILINE" ody of another, z= process of cross- pollenization which is a means of hybridization that promises much for the future of American orchids.
