The night became progressively darker and as yet there was no moon, and travelling in the shad- ows of the ranges was an accom- plishment of bush instinct rather . than of judgment. The gully was his friend, now, and if he followed it bac to the next line of hills he would assuredly find another that ran in the same direction, and out there, somewhere, in the Stygian gloom there was a road that led to a road that led to the metropolis. He was not afraid of travelling thus in solitary splendor at night. There remained only the hazards of darkness and direction, and of being imaginatively afraid of si- lence and inescapable isolation. Therefore it was a matter of stead- fastly following the gully until it merged with another, yet larger, and following that one along— powaive the Southern Cross was igh before one’s vision, and the south was his destination. His luminous wrist watch told him that he’d been walking for more than an hour, always stead- ily climbing and it wasn’t until he sank exhausted to the bed of the gully that he felt the dull ache at the back of his eyes. His strength mounted afresh‘ at the image of the day’s events and tue urge to investigate Wade’s Hole took possession of his resolve. Slowly he found his feet. The path converged upon what was apparently a bridle-track, for it widened to six feet and began mounting the side of the range. Gardiner stood at the top of the hill, his eyes fastened upon a soli- tary, weak light that blinked and flickered and presently went out, only to re-appear a moment later at another spot. Somebody carrying a lantern! He sat dewn to watch. The light presently ceased its will o’ the wisp performance and became sta~ tionary. Then he was able faintly to see the grey walls of a canvas tent. Pleased beyond measure, oe strode swiftly down the “Hullo, there!” “Hullo!” The camp-dweller remained Safety Can _ Be Taught To Children By DAVID TAYLOR MARKE (®) Newsfeature Writer As parents you face the prob lem of how to prevent children doing many things which en- danger life and limbs. Reports of dangerous behavior read like a nightmare. The chil- dren run in front of speeding autos, fall from bicycles, and break all traffic-safety rules. They play with matches and set the house on fire. They swallow poisons and poke scissors into electric outlets. They break their own bones and nearly blind other children. They run grave risks while throwing stones and snow- balls, climbing roofs, swimming, playing ball and shooting BB guns. There is a gleam of hope in the situation say the noted psy- chologists and educational con- sultants, Drs. Norma E. Cutts and Nicholas Moseley. In their forthcoming book, “Better Home Discipline,” (Appleton - Century- Crofts, N. Y) they point out “you can teach children to avoid ac- cidents.” While your children are too young to take care of themselves don't leave them out of doors alone except in a screened porch, a play pen, or fenced yard, they say. Make doubly sure that the child cannot get out by climbing a barricade or by lifting a latch. Another precaution to take is not to trust young children to seated, He was tall and gaunt and his face was compounded of wrinkled leather. The old man peered suspiciously through the dim wall of light. “You lost, mate?” “Not exactly. I came overland from Berowra Waters,” “Why?” * “Hiker.” The other grunted. “Hungry8I suppose.” “Nothing in my guts since yes- terday.” “Here’s the bread. Cut it your- self. The tea’s still warm.” “How do you get down to town from here?” “Motor bike,” he said. “It’s in there.” “How far is it to town from here?” “ "Bout twenty-eight miles.” He ate without further speech for five minutes. Then he swal- lowed a mug of tea and stood up. Gardiner had sliced the bread with the other’s jack-knife. It was in his hand now. “T'll take the bike now.” “No you won't!” The.old man made to rise but his head and shoulders were spun back to the ground and the jack- knife slashed down three times across the soft parts of his throat. Gardiner straightened up and tossed the knife aside. “You should have let me take the bike,” he said, softly. Less than an hour later—a few minutes after midnight—Gardiner stood on the edge of Wade’s Hole, peering questioningly into its cavernous depths. Presently, he sat down and low- ered himself over the edge of the hole and began the slow and diffi- cult descent. . HE knew, even in his confused state, that if the woman’s body were not somewhere in this jungle of mud and weeds, they would press a charge of attempted mur- der, with Kate herself the most hostile—and damning—of all pos- sible witnesses. Therefore, she had to be here. After the first desperate survey he paused to collect his senses and the care of slightly older sisters or brothers, they say. A third precaution is to keep alert when you are walking with a child. Do not lose yourself in conversation with a friend or in window shopping. Above all. they say, give the young child all the safe ex- perience you can. “Many par- ents put young children to harness and take them walk- ing. The other day we saw a mother ‘driving’ her sons, 3 and 4, in double harness. They pranced along like a prize team. She hauled them up at red lights, guided them away from the curb, and in general gave them a lesson on how to behave in traffic... “Practice of this kind starts a child with the right ideas about walking on the sidewalk and watching for lights to change. Soon he will step out as though he were on his own. But keep hold of him and concentrate your attention on him. By 4 he will wish to walk without even hold- ing your hand, and may be re- bellious.

On all fours now, he moved and Keep Powder Dry | By BETTY CLARKE AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor You can look as complexion-love- ly as Boticelli’s Venus when you emerge from a swim, if you'll learn how to waterproof your makeup. Says Hollywood makeup man, Max. Factor, Jr.: “The thinner your application of cake makeup, the better it can tak dunking and also stand the test of ching sunlight, even more revealing over water. Apply it with’ a sopping wet sponge very thinly. Then go over the application with the seme wet sponge, this time squeezed dry.” If you prefer to use a cream- stick type of foundation, skip the invisible cream base which make- up men suggest wearing under cake makeup. To apply the cream age before you let a child go alone on a route, go over it with him. Have him tell you about which crossings to use, about lights, and about looking both ways. Burns, point out the authors, are another cause most frequent- ly found among accidental deaths. Telling a child a match will burn him or even allowing him to get burned is no sure way of pre- venting him from playing with fire, they say. Better still, keep all matches where children can’t get at them. And that goes, too, for poisons. Here are some precautions to take, according to the authors: 1. Keep all poisons, including sleeping pills, locked up in a special place, 2. Keep pot handles turned to the back of the stove. 3. Consider safety when mak- ing purchases. If you are buy- ing a stove, buy one that lights automatically. If you are buying lamps or appliances, be sure they bear the label “UL,” show- ing the Underwriters Labora- tories have approved them. 4. Do not leave young children alone with sharp tools, or with any metal tool in a room that has electric outlets. 5. Have a group inspection—by husband, wife, and children—of the whole house and see who can point out the greatest number of dangers and the best company will be glad to send you what to look for. Training a child to live ina world full of hazards requires courage 4nd some sense precautions, the authors say. Have definite rules, but keep them to a minimum; set a good example in observing com- mon-sense rules of safety in the home and out; join with other parents to study safety in the home and street; keep first-aid on hand and your ledce of first-aid up to date; finally, keep clearly in mind the child's capacity to understand |dangers and sponsibilitics. ways to) eliminate them. Your insurance; forth, feeling, examining, trying to remember—trying to estimate all the possible angles of Kate’s un- controlled fall—as a golfer seeks a lost ball—gauging distance, mo- mentum, weight direction, impe- dimenta—until the search brought him to the floor of the great fissure. He then returned to within ten feet of the surface and began the investigation all over again and this time he was rewarded by a fragment of flimsy dress material that fluttered its single streamer from the pons of a steel end—— _ Evidently her fall had been par- tially broken here—— Using the discovery as a new base for operations, his gaze sought again the bed of the hole, for every yard of the slope had been thoroughly examined so that not even the remains of a cat had , gone undetected. Yet, find the body of Kate he must: either that, or the gates of damnation were wii wide at the surface of Wade's ole and there was no future. Proclaiming his resentment in a series of pig-like grunts, Gardiner made again down the slope, caring little for a firm foothold. He crashed his way down in a succes- sion of controlled falls, keeping his feet only by virtue of the thick weeds that afforded him hand- balance, but he fell heavily at the base of the slope and lay stunned on a rock bed, his head half hidden in a pool of black slime. It was as he lay thus that sud- denly his eyes were blinded by a shaft of fierce light that snaked out from the surface, found him unerringly, and focussed its vici- ous glare full in his face. He tried to penetrate the beam of solid light, but failed and tightly shut his eyes. Then, abruptly the light was taken away and he opened his eyes. But it took him fully a minute to adjust the night to his blinded vision, but when he did it was to behold the spec- tacle of three figures clearly out- lined against the skyline—two of them bulky, the other slight. He stared, fascinated, at the madness of three witnesses up there on the edge of the hole—two men and a woman. Danny he recognized at once by his ungainly shape—the other would be Taylor. And Meli- sande—— Startled, he sprang to his feet and made for the opposite slopé. (To be continued) foundation stick so that it looks better and stays fresh and natural looking in the water, put it on with a sponge. Moisten the sponge with skin freshener. This mild astrin- gent will evaporate quickly and. leave your skin veiled with a nice, dry, adherent makeup. Don’t mop or blot it. Apply face powder as you normally would. When it com- bines with the oils of your founda- tion, powder can shed water like the oiled feathers of a duck. The same type of cream founda. tion used on your face also will make a waterproofing aid for any little body blemish that you want to hide. Concealment depends, says Factor, not upon its opaque cover- ing so much as its color power, To avoid the look of patch-work when you cover a vaccination mark or tiny blue veins that may mar the rear view of pretty legs, extend the cream far out from the blemish. Then blend to suffuse the edges. You can wear eye makeup into the poo!, and you won’t come out dripping with smudges if you'll substitute for lash makeup, which is likely to run, a soft shadow line of pencil which can’t. be budged, suggests Mr. Factor. He suggests drawing the pencil line at the base of the lashes—broadly and heavily for swimming—and blending. Use pressure in applying Up- stick. This, says the makeup ex- pert, is essential to fixing color, But don’t, he warns, jab at the lips—just use firm pressure. You'll need a lipstick which contains enough lanolin to keep lips safe from skin-eracking effects of sua, salt and water. Let lipstick color set two minutes before blotting. This should keep color fast on land or sea. Mr. Factor suggests wearing cream rouge instead of dry rouge which is not waterproof. Eye shadow can be worn not only for pretty tinting of the lids but es protection against burning sun rays.
