HER CHIEF AIM
By JOSEPHINE S. BROOKS.
(, 1920, by McClure Newiaxr Syndlcut.) I
Hetty C'loyton settle 1 down deeper i
Into her sent on the train, nud listen-1
ed with nil her little, shapely enr.s
to the animated flow of talk between j
the two men In front of her. One ot !
them proved to be her old friend, Hob
Crltely, the other, chief offender to
Hetty's ears, was unknown to her.
Suddenly at the stranger's words:
"I tell you. 15ob, all t'lrls are alike,
flippant, frlvdous, yes and sense
less. I want nothlnc to do with them,"
Hetty emitted n "h'ml" of scorn.
At Hetty's exclamation Hob turned
his head, and, staring astonishingly,
would have spoken, hut for an up
raised finger of warning.
Chuckling, Hetty produced a pencil
and tearing a leaf from her diary,
wrote rapidly. Then, after several
coughlngs and maneuvers to attract
the attention of the puzzled Hob, she
motioned to the aisle. She slipped
softly along, and under pretense of
rescuing her handkerchief, she press
ed the note Into nob's lowered hand.
Bob, taking the advantage of his
friend's sudden Interest In the out
door view, read:
"If this this man (?) of yours Is to
make one of our week end party at
Metn's, just nod your head and put
me In the seventh heaven of bliss.
Rest assured he'll get paid for de
nouncing us girls. Above all things,
don't recognize me."
In one second Hob's head went a
bobbing "yes." At which Hetty set
tled back with a blissful sigh.
When nearlng Joyvllle, Metn's sum
mer home, Hettystarted for the door.
Then she,, audaciously Innocent, re
mained there facing the aisle..
It was no avail, the stranger gave
not one fleeting glance, which slight
to her chnrms peeved the fair girl.
Not so Hob, who gave a sigh of re
lief that lie need fear no rival In his
friend.
It was Inter that evening when Hetty
met the stranger, who gave no sign
that he had ever seen the girl, lovely
vision though she was, at the tea table.
He ftrcw absorbed In his partner of
the hour.
When Hetty Clnyton once made up
her mind to accomplish a thing, It was
sure to I'ome to pass. Therefore, every
dny, she played some prank.
If she slyly overheard Paul Brent
bewailing girls' nonsensical, Indecent
fashions, Hetty appeared in an ex
tremely abbreviated, skirt, and In the
most diaphanous quality of waists. In
such garb she would wnylay the enemy
of her sex, and begin tlirtlng outrage
ously, tnlklng frivolously, and inter
spersing her words with bits of slang,
until the Indifference and scorn of her
victim drove her nearly to shame.
Overhearing one evening his explo
sive views of jazz, the audacious beau
ty suggested the forbidden dancing;
even enticing one of the girls to help
her "pny Paul Brent for his denounc
ing their sex."
It was remarkably singulnr that af
ter every escapade, Betty's emotions
changed at bed time to a tearful con
dition, more especially after a re
proach from Bob.
One glorious day when the soft foil
age of the trees barely moved, Betty
rowed up the river to a secluded spot
where she hid In the thick of the
woods. She longed to be alone with
her strange, disturbing thoughts un
utterably wild thoughts.
Sounding clear on the breezeloss air
a musical voice reached her ears, a
voire repeating poetry bis voice, I'aul
Brent's! Her enemy! Oh, no never
that.
The girl's fnce went scarlet. In her
ongeruess to punish nud annoy, she
had become entangled In the tolls.
"Miss Cloyton Betty Isn't It time
to show our real selves?"
"Heal selves? What do you mean,
Mr. Brent?" she queried, mnjestlcally.
"Why, end this farce. It's cruel of
me. Forgive me, dear girl."
"Forgive you what?" she slowly
emphasized.
"Betty, you know, you love nie,H and
the dark eyes twinkled roguishly.
"Your conceit fnr surpasses your lcl
ness," she scorned.
"And you must know how deeply I
return your love, denr," tormented the
man. i
"Oh, yes, deeply, by scorning every
girl's presence, and denouncing them,"
sarcastically retorted'Betty. Then she
added. "My chief aim was to"
"Hetty dear, your aim was true,
for you hit me," beamed the Irrepres
sible I'aul. t ,
Down flopped Betty on thu grass,
disgusted and speechless.
. "You're such a catch j wliy shouldn't
I?" she snnpped.
"Why not, Indeed It's not so hard,"
he goaded. ,
"And you thought I I would do
thntl It's right the opposite I hate
you, you Iceberg! There!" Betty's
eyes filled with misty Indignation.
"Don't mind in- foolish Jests I'll
confess I saw It all from the first
the note to Bob, your Intentions, nil;
and 1 vowed to "
"To what?" half screamed the girl.
"To win youl"
"And have you?" Betty sneered.
"I think I have," answered the Ice
berg, clasping her closely. "I should
Indeed he an Iceberg to resist the
vision of the girl on the train," he
Jaughed "the adorable Betty."
"And that deceitful little minx didn't
even try to struggle out of those fond
fra's!
"Little Zlon" Becomes Park.
Three hundred miles south of Salt
Lake City and reached by automobile
from Lund, Utnb, Is Little Zlon can
yon, the newest of American nntlonnl
playgrounds.
The canyon derives Its name from
Salt Lake City, which about W) years
ago was known as Zlon. Brlghnm
Young and other Mormons visited the
district and the Inhabitants decided
that they would call the canyon "Lit
tle Zlon," evidently considering Snlt
, Lake City a big place.
I Within the last few years. Little Zlon
ennyon has been visited by a lnrge
number of tourists and some of them
! have termed It "The Rainbow of the ,
, Desert." j
! There are deep canyons with cliffs j
I of hlood red and cliffs of cream white
I rising to n height of 2..r00 feet. Huge
I natural bridges and level-topped pln
! tonus, with precipitous cliffs and plc
, turesquc amphitheaters, provide a pic
ture that strikes one with awe. Chris

When Mankind Was Young.
Not being as well Informed as Dr.
W. D. Matthews, curator of the Amer
ican Museum of Natural History. Is
about the matter, you have to take his
word for It. "It" happens to be the
"Telnoden." or "Terrible Tooth," a
prehistoric animal that must have re
sembled some equally prehistoric de
lirium tremens animal.
What really Interests us Is the fol
lowing statement from Doctor Mat
thews :
"At that time our ancestors were lit
tle, opossumlike, furry creatures, liv
ing in trees and quite too smnll and
Inconspicuous to be troubled by the
huge reptiles who in those days held
the earth In fee."
The opossum, like a lot of men, Ib
fond of snoozing.
Squirrels Big as Cats.
There Is no country that can rival
Nortli America for the grent number
of squirrels, both pedes and subsjw'
cles, represented In her fauna. In so
fnr as brilliancy of color and size are
concerned, however, says the Ameri
can Forestry Magazine of Washington,
the handsomest and largest squirrels
In the world are found In the Orient
nnd the East Indies. . Along the const
of Malabar Is found a squirrel as big
as an ordinary eat; this animal Is
bright red on the uppef part of Its
body, offset by the most Intense blnck,
while all the lower parts are of a
clear yellow.

Tke Ideal Five-Passenger Car
Whether die Paige Glenbrook is chosen solely because of its beauty or
rather because of its mechanical excellence, a full measure of satisfaction
is assured to its owner in either case. '
For it is well known that, in Paige cars, beauty and efficiency go hand
in hand. . .
The same skill in car building which is responsible for making the
Glenbrook a vehicle of exceptional grace is likewise responsible for
making it an exceptional car from the mechanical standpoint.
In body, power plant and chassis, it is distinctly a Paige product '
setting standards of comfort, economy and dependability such as have
never before been present in a car of moderate price.
Although it lias been before the public no more than four months,
- x it is destined, we believe, to revolutionize the Light Six field.
Its new six-cylinder motor designed and built in our own shops is
a feature which, in itself, entitles the new Paige Glenbrook to a place
at the head of America's finest five-passenger motor cars.
When you see this latest Paige model and ride in it,, you will agree
with us, we believe, that, from a mechanical as well as an artistic ;
point of view, there is no finer five-passenger car on the market today. ' ..
That this is now quite the general opinion among motorists is indicated
by the number who have already made arrangements for Spring deliveries.
Let us suggest that you give early consideration to the question ot
placing your order with our dealer while it is still possible for him to
take care of your requirements.

When Red Crocs Supplies Were
Periled by Rats.
A picturesque story of the war comes
from Warsaw, whore all the cats hnd
disappeared. One went about tho city
ami saw never a cat. So completely
hnd the cats vanished that when the
Ited Cross warehouse, Just outsldo of
Warsaw, became overrun with rats
and mice, to the serlnns dninngo of
food nnd clothing stored In It, almost
every other expedient was thought of
nnd tried before It occurred to nnybody
thnt perhaps there might be n cat or
two still left somewhere In tho com
munity. Then some olllcinl of the
warehouse mentioned to a Polish
workman thnt If a eat could bo found
tho animal would bo n great help In
protecting the lied Cross property;
and from hero, there and everywhere
came the wives of the citizens nnd the
citizens themselves, ench cnrefnlly
bearing n treasured cat. As tho story
goes, (hero seemed to bo ns many cats
offered for duty In the Ited Cross
wnrchouse ns there were rats and mice
nt work in it. The emergency hnd
overcome the unwillingness of tho
people to admit that they were guard
!pg their pots, and nfter a guardian
had been chosen for the warehouse
the cats again disappeared from Warsaw.
