The man makes an apaprently fu- tile search near the rich vein. hxs As he is about to leave, searchlight reveals his Roy Hammond, the San Fe lawyer. Peebles and Deacon do not reveal their presence and conclude that Hammond sought Hyde's snuff box. As the two men start the return trip to San pe, Peebles ex- amines the newspaper he found #inder the skeleton in the mine.

The Firebrand has it on good authority that Mr. Lundy has brought an ex- pert from San Francisco to see what's what; and he has ordered his men to shoot to kill! Citizens of Torridity look to your gold! And gour guns! (We know of half a dozen good ropes itching to stretch the hombre's neck, Joe. Ye Ed.) The item was Interesting and amusing and something of a side- light on conditions of that day, but nething more, apparently, and why it should occur to me that there might be a connection between Mr. Baundy’s misfortune and Andrew’s death I couldn't for the life of me tell. But the notion had got into my head and there it stuck. “Listen to this, Henry." I read the item to him. “Pity the poor devil if they found him,” he muttered grimly. “Tor- ridity was one wild town from what I'hear.” Of my feelings that the item might have bearing upon the mat- ters which occupled our minds I said nothing, Henry is intolerani of feelings.

Glorlfied American Waltress Must Be Young, Neat, Trim- Ankled and Charming L or waeiah more She mustn't be (International Newsreel} Ing waltrésses revealed rigid rules in effect in most places. Here are some of the requirements: She must not be over five feet three in height. Not older than twenty-five years. Welghing not *more than 110 pounds. Some of the more exclusive tea shops are rigidly aesthetic in their demands. They require “feet no larger than size four” and a form not exceeding “a perfect thirty- six.” Some places bar bobbed halr, others require it. An example is cited of a girl who filed an applicaiion with a very well-known restaurant chain, stat- ing excellent references, intensive exptrlance. and remarkable educa- tion. The personnel manager took one look at her height without glancing at the card full of quali- fications. “Qur tables are very low,"” she aid conclusively. When tho apply cant pleaded further that she had excellent uxperlencc and .ood eaucauon, the woman sale, mrauya “We must conform to our rules. Our age limit is twenty-five years and welght must bo correct for the height.” Does it occur to the reader that girls who don't measure up to the new standards have a legitimate kick? Why is it that restaurant managers do not consider looks when they are hiring men walters, while women are required to be short and chic, trim-ankled, neat and have plenty of IT? What's going to happen to all the older women who have made their lving for so many years at the hon- orable trade?
