Concera for them now mounts. CHAPTER XV Bob and Mary IVIelissa had com- pletely lost not only their sense of direction, but any sense of time. The absolute darkness in which they were living made sane, normal thinking almost im- possible. "I would say we've been here anywhere from 12 to 24 hours," Bob guessed. "But it might just seem that long, and really be less." They dared not separate more than a few feet, lest they be lost from each other. .A.nd they dared not move save by crawling and feeling with tiheir hands, lestJ they fall and be killed. "It'll be something to tell our grandchildren." suggested 'Lissa, trying to be brave. "A real ad- venture." "Correct," agreed Bob. Neither added the "if" which was upper- most in their minds. There had been no more kiss- es, after the first one. It was su- premely deliciou.s to Bob, but he had asked it in a spirit more of comradeship than of love, doing the best he could to boost her spirits. It had been a lingering kiss. And it had been warmly returned. He had wanted to kiss her again and again â€" to hold her fierc-ely and pour out the declara- tion of love which had suddenly enveloped him. But he must bo fair. He couldn't take advantage of the girl under stress of cir- cumstance like this. The thought made him a bii more formal for a half hour or so, but their mutual danger soon enveloped them. Then he tried singing. Singing In The Dark "Sailing, sailing. Over the bounding waves â€" " His big baritone filled the un- seen auditorium. The novelty of it caused them both to laugh, which was well. 'Lissa clapped her "hands, entered into the spirir of it. "Can you do imitations also, Mr. Ginsberg?" she teased. "No, but have you heard my tap dancing?" * r » Rations He beat out a drum rhythm with two rocks on a giant stalag- mite near them. "I'm really Bill Ro-binson traveling incognito, you know. See how dark 1 am !" He kept up the silliness, be- cause it diverted them both. Ii was nevertheless fantastic, there in the cavern. Somehow, they couldn't force the blackness out of their transeiousness, even by play. Bob wa.'» talking and sing- ing very loud. When they were both weary, he suggested that they try to sleep. They lay prone, touching m^^ ^CkcmteplBP' THIS COLORFUL RESORT . . •â-  Lake >*«.

P.<t each other for consolation, and were still for perhaps two or three hours. And although neither ac- tuallv slept, strength was restor- ed. "Do you suppose it's â€" tomor- row?" 'Lissa asked, vrhen they were aroused again. "Probably. Maybe day after. Here, I am rationing the choc- olate bar. Feel my hand. Just a bit, but it'll lessen the gnawing." The "gnawing" was rather acute, rightly enough. Moreover, Mary Melissa and Bob had the extreme added suffering of thirst. Tliey didn't mention it, but each found it difficult even to swal- low the bite of chocolate candy. "Yoo-hoo !" Bob shouted, just; to keep up spirits. It hurt his throat some, but he thought it justified. Anything now seemed better than just sitting, or etera- ally crawling and feeling to no avail. "Echo: Echo!" he called, be- cause he had heard one. A faint repeat of it shot "back at him. "That means we're in a pretty big room, with some sort of flat wall oppostie," he told 'Lissa. They tried to crawl toward it, but they canie repeatedly to the drop-off â€" the ledge over which the lantern had fallen. Or per- haps another like it, they couldn't be sure. A Wierd Echo Bob threw some rocks. Many of them hit and bounded, hit and hit again, rolled and were quiet. It must be a long way down, somewhere, the boy and girl agreed. "HEY DOWN THERE, ECHO!" Bob yelled. They listened, but tba phrases were too long. Only a jumble of noise reverberated. They sat si- lent, in increasing if unspoke'i despair, holding hand.s again. .V second or so passed. Then â€" "Hey! Hey!" A faint sound, an exclamation, came out of the darkness!^ Bob felt 'Li.ssa become ten.se, knew she had heard it too. His own heart was pounding. "Li.ssa:" he barely whispered it. Thenâ€" 'HE;Y1 HELP!" He yelled at the top of hi.s lungs. It came back, but it was too long for an echo: "eh-eh-eh!" It was unnatural, weird. Bob .strained to determine the direc- tion. "Pray God it's coming from above!" he said, .squeezing "Lissa'-^ arm. "It may be help from up there, just echoing and seeming to come from bekw us!" It might have been, but â€" i'; wasn't. "I Saw A Light" "No! N"o-no! NO-O-O!" The last was almost a scream, as Marj' Meli-sa spoke it. "\0 BOB! It's not help! We're â€" crazy or some- thing. 1 saw a light flash â€" awa.v below â€" in imai^ination 1 gue.^.s. OH!" She was sobbing, and he held her close. He shut his own eyes, tightening his muscles trying to regain control. He knew their trouble. He h.id herrd of hallucinations that be- devil people facing slow death from hunger and thirst. Thirst takes rapid toll in the arid We.^t country. Bob's own tongue felt very thick, and his legs were werik. How much more "Lissa mu.<t be suffering, he knew. Unashamedly, then he kisried her. and she kissed him back. "I want you to know some- thingâ€"before »'e lose normal control eretirely!" he whi.spered it fiercely. "Yes, Bob?" "I love you, Mary Melissa. 1 have always loved yoa. I guasa." "Ki*.s me again, please. I ha\i- loved you -longer than always!'" He held her. patted her. "We'll sticHc it out as long as humanly possible, sweetheart. I am not afraid to die. I â€" am sorry, for you. But the end comes Somewhere, somehow, no matter what we do in life. Tf thta la ours, I can die happy now. But I wijih I mig^t have toved'' you longer." Incorrect Shoes Hurt Children They Suffer From Wronflly- Fitted Footwear More Than Adults Do; Permanent Harm May Be Caused "Though the danger of bad shoe fitting strikes home to everyone, child or adult, children are more liable to suffer perm- anent injury," says Ralph W. Merians, president of the U. S. Orthopedic Shoe Men's Society. "They are usually too shy to say anything when they are being fit- ted for shoes and often don't realize that their feet are cramp- ed. Their bones, being soft and pliaijle, are easily injured and dis- torted." BOYS MORE SENSIBLE K survey of New York public schools shows that although at birth only cne out of 10 children has defective feet â€" at the age of 10, seven children out of 10 havj developed foot ailments. In- teresting to note in this survey, is the fact that 80 per cent of girls of school age have foot deformities and mechanical dis- turbances. Boys seems to be more sensible about their shoes, for those of school age are suffer- ing from foot ailments are 65 per cent. * Bootleg Beauty Banning of permanent waves by the Tokyo gvoernment has led to a type of bootlegging at the beauty parlors. Women are ob- taining permanent waves through loopholes in the law and the let- down in enforcement. The ban is a part of the restriction on electrical consumption.

CHAMBERS SUMMER BEVERAGES AND SMALL CAKES As summer is arriving most of us are making an inventory oi our recipes and ideas for bev- erages and the small cake und cookie, that we may be ready fov the caller or visitor. What a privilege for us to be able to have an afternoon or eve- ning snack on the lawn or out-of- doors somewhere or just on the porch, enjoying it in safety in comparistn with pur friends ovei' seas. No doubt our visits and con- versations this year will be of a very serious and anxious natura and knitting and Red Cross sew- ing will be spare-time occupation, but let us be truly thankful as we visit and work for our priv- ileges. In tlfcse days we are thinking and are told much about nutri- tion and the low cost of meals, and as milk always holds an hon- ored place on menu lists we can do no better than start our sug- gestion? with these few hints. Iced Chocolate Milk Mix equal parts of chilled milk and prepared cocoa as for drink- ing; add a spoon of maple syrup or caramel syrup. Shake thor- oughly. Add a spoon of Maple ice cream in an iced tea or coffee glass. Serve with a spoon. Or try this: place a large spoon of vanilla ice cream in an iced coffee glass, add ^i cup of milk, then pour in ginger ale to fill the glass, stirring all the while. Drink at once. Flavor iced milk with maple sugar, with brown sugar, with melted chocolate peppermints. Heat large chocolate mints in the upper part of the double boiler. When melted stir into milk. Mint Punch There has been a request for the mint punch of last year. â€" 1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves 1 cup powdered sugar % cup lemon juice 4 cups orange juice 1 quart ginger ale Crushed ice and mint .sprigs Rub the mint leaves and sugar together until well mixed. Add lemon and orange juice. Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes, in a cold place, preferably longer. Strain, add the ginger ale. Pour into glasses \-i full of cracked ice. Garnish each glass with mint sprigs. Always remember, when yoa wish the very simplest kind ot beverages, that the simple orange- ade and lemonade are always re- freshing. In making orangeade, for a single glass allow '-i orange and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice sweetened to taste. Then to add variation to this you may serve plain grape juice or again a com- bination of orange, lemon or grapefruit. Ginger ale added to any of the above dees give them zest. Now for the accompaniment to the beverage, which may be just as simple as you wish, such as the plain cookie, or may run tht whole gamut of small cakes to the elaborate fro.sted one.

Life Expectancy For Quints: 47 Judging From Insurance Sta- tistics Their Chances Indiv- iduady Are For An Age of n The Dionne quintupieto, who celebrated their sixth birthday May 28, have an even chance, as a group, of living 47 years. Con- sidered individually, each quint should reach the age of 6tt. "These figures,"' according to sta- tisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, "are based on average conditions of healtn prevailing at present in the Un- it>?d States." The girl;^. who were puny at birlh, already have surpassed the health record of many normal infants, and, as a group of five individuals, have "successfully overcome mortality risks equiv- alent to those which the average woman meets in the cour.se of the first 58 years of her life." "Now that the Canadian quin- tuplets are six years old." the statisticians say, "they should be guarded against accident-^, which form the greatest hazard for both boys and girls of that ago."' The Dionnes have already establi.^h- ed a longevity record for quin- tuplets. Modem War Kill$.
