"My talent is all wrapped in a nap-

a little over your head, I know'. 1
must say that married life seems to
agree with you."
He had been appraising Jeffrey
closely since that young man had
posed in a chair with graceful ease.
He was faultlessly attired and
had a healthy outdoor coloring.
But Victor thought he detected an

office. After an enthusiastic greet-

father at home?"
“No,” Victor returned in some
amazement. "He went up to the
city oh business . . . plans to return
tomorrow. Evidently this is a sur-
prise. Did Mrs. Castle come with
you?"
"No,” Jeff answered shortly.
"She's at home. We came back
rather unexpectedly. Olive wanted

quietly without taking his eyes
from the other man’s face.

here . . . indefinitely."
I "Look here, Jeff. You can't do

I Instead of replying directly, Jef-

' Honolulu. Most of it was a pane-
gyric . . . devoted to you. I wasn’t
surprised, knowing your efficiency
of old. I could see that my absence
wasn't disrupting the scheme of the
Parville universe.” -
“Don't be an ass!” Victor retort-
ed sharply. “Look at me, if you
don’t mind, and tell me what all
this drivel is leading up to.”
"I’m not coining back to Par-

“Oh, I'm feeling pretty fit,” the!

"All right, I should say. When
do you plan to settle down in har-l

Henry Brand listened attentively
to his subordinate’s request and
was unexpectedly cooperative. “I
don’t wonder, Quinn, that you wish
the association with Judge Castle.
It is a real opportunity for a young1
man. 1 think it can be arranged if
you wish.”
Victor’s next move was to call
' Jeffrey Castle at Parville. “I say
Jeff,” he began with a carelessness
that would have done credit to
Jeffrey himself. "I just talked oyer
that proposition with Mr. Brand.

"Yes. That is, if you plan to be

"Oh, it will be plenty long."
"What about your father?"
, "He’ll be tickled pink! He's away

"Well, look /or me about the

One hundred years later, in an attic
only a few miles from the starting point
of history’s most famous ride, Alexander
Graham Bell gave the nation a faster.
'One, if by land, and two, if by sea.'
Waiting on the outskirts of Charlestown,
Massachusetts, Paul Revere fixed his
eyes on the moonlit tower of the Old
North Church.
Suddenly the light of a lantern pierced
the darkness... then another. The white
road echoed the pound of galloping
hoofs as the midnight rider called the
sleeping countryside to arms.

Today America needs no midnight
rides like Paul Revere’s. For this coun-

system owned by more than 600,000
American people, employing nearly
300,000 skilled men and women, and
used by Americans from coast to coast.
In emergencies today, Americans turn

President Clarence A. Dykstra,
of the University of Wisconsin,
was in Washington Monday to
accept the post of federal draft
administrator. He was granted
an indefinite leave of absence
by the board of regents, which

the government for as long as
he was needed.

"More like April than December
today,” Anthony Swan remarked
to his family as he pushed his
chair back from the lunch table.
“I believe I'm getting a bit of
spring fever.”
“I know I am," Audrey admitted.
“Dad, have you any jobs that are
crying out to be done?"
"There's that roan of Bardsley's

"No. I’m leaving shortly with the
truck. I've got a car of feed in
tow'n and I want to gel it out here.
I’m taking Jim and Robert with
me. You can manage your saddling,
I dare say."
An hour later, wearing a wind-
breaker and her oldest jodhpurs,
Audrey was leading the big roan
gelding from the lower stable. "No
tricks, now!” she warned, getting
a firm hold of the reins and her
boot in the stirrup. As she vaulted
to her seat, the roan jumped

questions. He seemed changed,

think of some cheerful safe topic

by remarking: "I suppose you
haven't seen Father lately.” It was
more nearly a statement than a
question."
"No. Not in quite a while. 1 don’t
believe that I have talked with him
since the night of the dinner.

“Just wondering how he is these
days, that's all. 1 wish I didn't
