Under Sefton’s sympathetic tuition, he had made great strides with his studies and obtained a clearer insight into the ways of men and cities. How- ever, the lure of Africa was still in his blood. He felt that civilization was tawdry and unsatisfying. y When the Marleys heard. of his re- turned, Madeline insisted upon going down to see him, She was accom- panied by Sheila and Reeves. When they arrived at Honeydale, Kaspa was ten miles away in the forest, padding softly among the trees, clad in noth- ing but a bathing suit. He scared up a deer and feeling the need of exercise, determined to chase it down. The deer took a roundabout course through the forest. Finally he chased it out on the open ground bordering the lake and as it trod the loose sandy soil he saw that it was almost spent; the end of the hunt was in sight. Madeline had grown tired of the The shad- owy room with its atmosphere of ci- garette smoke and sophistication was most distasteful to her. She got up quietly and. wandered out on to the veranda and so on to the lawn. It was a beautiful evening. She walked down | to the lake, looking over the water. How futile and unsatisfying everyth- ing was! She was twenty-three, heal- thy and beautiful, and condemned to follow a career of senseless gayety until, wearied to death, she made her escape by marrying one of her nume- rous suitors—only to begin the same thing all overagain. As she stood there brooding, she was acutely unhappy. , There was a suden crash in the bushes, and she turned upon a start- ling sight. Out from the forest stag- werédd a fine stag, its breath panting, its eyes turned backward in a glassy stare of terror, and behind it, running with the effortless freedom came a huge god-like figure clad in a torn and faded swimming suit. Kaspa overhauled the floundering deer in the middle of the glade. Bel- lowing in despair, the wretched animal turned at bay, but Kaspa was too quick for it. He avoided the lowered antlers and, leaping at the beast’s shoulders, seized it by the head and neck and overthrew it on the grass. He held it there helpless while he raised leonine face to the sky and sent | out the call of triumph and meat: “Argh-h-h; Ee-argh-h-h!” It rolled and echoed away into the forest, and never had cry like that been raised upon the shores of that northern lake. The effect upon Madeline was elec- trical; she was thrilled and horrified. The wild lion-music coming from the throat of a human being was unna- tural and frightening, but there was something pleahurahle and -inspiring in the gight of that splendid figure wrestling with its prey. It was like some long forgotten scene when the forest was young and naked men pur- sued his meat, fleet and tireless as the wolf. Here was reality, ruthless and dis- gusting, yet imbued with a strange beauty. The girl found herself con- trasting this man, hunting his meat in the forest, with other men she knew who hunted dollars in office and sales room, dollars wherewith to pay men to kill their meat for them with callous monotony of machinery. The compar- sion was in Kaspa’s favor. Her last scruples were dissolved in admiration of this man’s beauty and physical prowess. : The lion-man stood up, heaved the exhausted deer tn its feet and held it by thee horns. : “Please don’t kill it,” called Madeline softly. He caught sight of her stand- ing in the shadow of the tree. She observed that his eyes had a wild laughing glare in them. It made her shudder to look at him. She had never imagined that light in human eyes. “I was not going to kill it,” he an- swered in a soft, deep voice, with a purring note in it. “I have no need of “meat.” He laughed. “My meat is pro- | vided for me nowadays.” “Why not keep it and tame it?” sug- gested the girl, coming forward. “Ah, no!” said Kaspa with a ring of passion in his voice. “Let it be wild and free.” He released the stag, which went off swaying and snorting into the forest. Madeline studied him; he to- wered above her, the bigegst man she had ever seen. His curly yellow hair and the golden down on his cheeks—for Kaspa was careless about shaving—reminded her of pictures of old Norse ‘warriors. THE DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA.. FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1033. The muscles were discernible, ropes, under his satiny skin. There was not an ounce of useless flesh on him, and she was amazed that he had {looked so ungainly in chothes, Kaspa met her gaze squarely; in {another place he would have been awk- |ward and shy, but here he was on his {own ground, free, and still filled with | the wild ardor of his long chase. “You are Madeline Moore,” he said. “I remember you. You are very beau- tiful.” His eyes glowed at her, and Madeline stepped back with a faint cry. Kaspa laughed. “Don’t be afraid, I won't hurt you. Do you mind my saying that you are beautiful? Mar- tin told me that it pleased. people to be admired.” Madeline echoed his laugh. “Per- haps it does. I do not mind you telling me I am pretty; it was the way you looked. You are rather frightening. you know.” She realized she had noth- ing to fear from this man; he was | savage, but a gentle savage. The pur- pose of her visit rose in her mind. She spoke quickly, for fear the opportunity fon belost. | ‘I want to talk to you about Africa. | am interested in your life before you came here.” Kaspa shook hois head |stowly. “You would not understand,” he murmured. : “Why not? You think that I am like ‘the others, that I think of nothing but 'theatres and motor-cars and so on. 1 (tell you that I hate all that.” Her tone {was vehement. } Kaspa looked at her curiously. He [seemed to be watching her intently. {Then he sighed and repeated: “You would not understand.” Madeline be- | came impatient at his obtuseness. “Oh (bother! she said, biting her lip. After yall her expectations she was to be (balked by the reticence of the man {who could help her. “I want you to tell me what you think of this life,“ she said earnestly, “whether you prefer it to the life you led. You see, we all think is preferable to live in luxury than to ‘rough it, except some men who write books, and it is noticeable [that they don’t forego the amenities |unless they have to. I want to know {the truth; please tell me.” Kaspa considered her gravely. “I like sleeping on the ground and with- {out covering,” he said suddenly. “I like being alone and watching the moon rise, and I don’t like to do. any- thing just to please someone else. I like being afraid that I may be killea any day. Do you understand why?— because Martin doesn’t.” “Why do you like being afraid you may be killed?” she asked wondering- ly. “Because it keeps me from being i dissatisfied; it is so pleasant to be alive.” He turned and began to walk past her towards the lake. “So this is ‘Sun, moon and the stars, brother, and a wind on the heath,” said Madeline half to herself. if Kaspa stopped. “Who said that?” She told him it was a gypsy and why {he said it. ; “He was right.” He waved his arm towards the lake “All that is foolish- ness,” with which sweeping assertion him. He paused upon a rock and stared thoughtfully at the water for a minute. > I don’t know about love,” said “And love?’ called Madeline after |Kaspe, and vanished with a splash {into the cool pool.

Kaspa looked at her wonderingly. “Well, I know what I want,” he said. “I want to go back to Africa.” He plunged into the lake again, and this time when he came to the sufface he swam steadily out into the deep water. p) In as a LP ‘Whether health or better food than milk. sible summer drink, because it carries the nutrition to build up your resis- tance to the heat. flavor and health-value that will make you appreciate the rich, creamy liquid pure, packed full of the things that build strong bodies and clear minds.(___ ‘We're confident that if you try it for a week you'll be a regular customer.

Madeline watched him for a few minutes ,then she walked slowly back to the house. ; The Rosewood party had departed when Kaspa returned. Sefton was an- noyed with him. It looked as if he stayed away on purpose. The lion- man admitted this when taxed with it. “They only want to look at me like they do at the lions in the zoo,” he said. “I don’t understand what they talk about, and I feel stupid with them.” Sefton laughted impatiently. “You must try to take people as they come, old man.

QUALITY a Th .| forces Senior: \ Er" Dairy Industry ~ Making Progress Study Of Economics Is Secret Of League's Prosperity Declaring that three years ago Am- its people might not be frightened by the “black name of panie,” and that now an old fashioned panic would be regarded as evidence of prosperity, President Fred H. Sexauer today re- ported the Dairymen’s League C0-0p- erative Association, Inc., had just clos- ed a year of building constructively and beneficially for the dairy industry despite depression handicaps. To achieve that success, said Mr. Sexauer, the Dairymen’s League had to step out of its field and milk market- ing organization and enter the broader sphere of economics. Among other things, he said, the farmers’ organiza- tion had to practically launch and carry on a campaign for monetary re- form to check the downward sweep of commodity prices. It had to force a reduction in the spread between what producers receive for milk and what consumers pay for it; and had to fight a mighty railroad and financial com- bination to acquire reductions in rail- road freight rates on milk shipments, Because of the Dairymen’s League success in these endeavors and chang- ing conditions, Mr. Sexauer, who was assailed as a pessimist even before the depression because of warnings he sounded of approaching distress for the dairy industry, today declared himself an optimist. “I am optimistic,” said Mr. Sexauer addressing 2,500 members of the Dairy- men’s League gathered here for the annual meeting, “For three years we have been going down hill. This year has been the low point for members of this organization as individuals and for the organization itself. “Two years ago we believed the dé- pression would become more severe, and that commodity prices, including milk, would be lower, We kept in mind the. necessity of working out a program broader than the mere hand- ling and selling of milk. Last year it became evident that the Association could not render sufficient service in milk marketing alone to overcome the of depression. Some other, greater service was necessary. The Dairymen’s League Four Point Pro- gram was evolved. It was: 1.

Give agricultural | products the same purchasing power {in terms of industrial commodities {that they had in 1910-14; 3. Unite the {dairy industry for the protection of [those who are selling their commodi- [ty in the form of milk: 4. Reduce oper= ating costs, or the spread between pro- [ducer and consumer, so that a larger proportion of the consumer's = dollar may reach the producer.” | | Last November, said Mr. Sexauer, it ibecame evident that price levels would | continue to decline, that there was not | enough uhity among dairy farmers for | their own protection, and that even sectional or state government action could not cure the situation. There- fore, hé said, the Dairymen’s League began aggressively working for mo- netary reform as the only practical method of raising price levels. The work of the Dairymen’s League with Dr. G. F. Warren and Dr. F. A. Pearson of Cornell University and, other organizations finally led to the granting of power to President Roose- velt to change the monetary system, |said Mr. Sexauer. Immediately com- modity prices started to rise. ; “No position that the Dairymen’s League has ever taken has been more quickly vindicated, or productive of re- sults so definite or more beneficial” declared Mr. Sexauer.’ Ya In its efforts to get producers more of the consumer's dollar, said Mr. Sexauer, the Dairymen’s League re- quired its dealers to absorb 453/ per- cent of the decline when dealers’ sell- ing prices decreased 94 cents per 100 pounds through the decline of retail prices in New York from 12 to 10 cents. Since 1929 distributors spread has been reduced 73 cents per 100 pounds. . X : Mr. Sexauer told of the fierce fight waged by the Dairymen’s League for lower freight rates on milk shipments. “We met opposition from the most powerful interests, for the railroads are closely allied with the large cen- tral banks,” he said. “Their propagan- da reached even into farm organiza- i tions.” es A reduction was finally attained to Ly become effective, July 1, he said, and will be reflected in August milk checks to farmers. That benefit, he demand- ed, comes as a result of the work of ‘the Dairymen’s League, and not from legislation or any form of governmen- tal control of the milk business. —Kunkle— Mr. and Mrs. Leon Cool of Scrans ton and Mr. and Mrs, Charles Herd- man enjoyed a week end trip to Potts- ille last week. pad ak > Frank Smith won the trip to (New York given as a door prize by the Laketon High School Seniors at their dance at the Community Hall last Wednesday evening: 8 : { Mr, and Mrs. W.
