"You say you wrote to him, and then you got this letter? Why didn't you say something to me first?” “I thought I might persuade you to change,” answered Dorrie. He shook his head. "It wouldn't io, darling, at all. Insurance is a business I know nothing about. It would take me a year or two to learn—and what would we live on luring that time?” “John thinks you might do very well in a few months, See what he says,” she tossed the letter over to him from John Reeper, husband of her sister Beryl It was a mild communication, of- fering little or nothing; if Hugh wanted to take up the insurance business in New York, he would put him in touch with the right par- ties. Hugh groaned to himself that Dorrie should regard this as a busi- ness opportunity! The lace on the flowing sleeve of Dorrie’'s negligce fell away as she lifted her arm to pour a cup of coffee. ‘Your father was in the in- surance business—you should have some talent for it,” she said idly. Hugh disregarded that. ‘We'd have to move away.” “Exactly.” “You want to? Leave this little place, our place?

It was July when the season pauses in stillness. The sparkling, capricious spring was past; there was no hint of autumn. The new highway crested the hills. They drove higher and high- er until a panorama of countryside, the sweep of field, the darkness of wood, the stubble of cut grain and shimmer of piled wheat, extended in great rolling distances to right and left of them, so far that a blue haze met the horizon.

Henry in the Washington Star. On of these dogs, the dinocyon, was as large as the Kadiak bear and probably looked much more of the canine family. It is known as the bear-dog, although directly re- lated to neither animal. Another, the mesocyon, was small, but may have been more savage. The skeleton of this animal indicates some possible relationship to the true canine family, made up of the dogs, wolves, foxes and hy- enas. The actual order of animals to which these dogs belonged, how- ever, has long since vanished from the earth. Hitherto the family has been known, for the most part, from scattered bones from which it Was necessary to reconstruct an en- tire animal. These ancient dogs had very large, formidable teeth. The proba- bilities are that they were largely feeders on carrion or that they stalked their prey rather than ac- tually chased it. From the structure of their legs they apparently were not good runners. Neither, for that matter, were any of the ancient animals upon which they fed.

The lark is still one of Poland's favorite birds. Americans traveling through the countryside are often surprised to see a little patch of grain left for no apparent reason, in a harvested field. This spot invar- iably marks the nest of a lark, for no one would think of disturbing the bird, even though grain must be wasted to let it rest in peace. Polish fields are divided into strips, without fences between, and one man may own several small parcels of land scattered over his district.

Saturn has a family of nine satel or moons, when scientist In They are divided into two groups, one a compact inner group close to the planet composed of five moons, distant satellites, some of which move in a direction opposite to those nearer the primary body. The nearest moon is about 115,000 miles from Saturn, or about half the distance separating the earth and our moon. Saturn has about ten times the diameter of the earth, so is the earth's moon. Its largest moon is 750,- 000 miles removed, and its outer most one 8,000,000 miles away. The outermost moon requires about one and a half of our years to its orbit. around Saturn. ts largest moon, Titan, makes the Saturn's moon that has about the same length of orbit as our moon completes it in four and a haif days. The inner moon, 115,000 miles from Saturn, completes its orbit in twen- ty-two houfs, which necessitates a speed of about 15,000 miles per If it did not travel at this high velocity, it would not remain Jaws for Bolting Food Even a snake charmer might a pair of legs.
