The White Desert
□ odd n □ and and a
By Courtney Ryl e y Cooper
The shadow of a brooding sorrow has
clouded the youthful spirits of BARRY
HOUSTON, owner of timber lands in
northern Colorado. He motors from Bos
ton to Investigate a series of unex
plained accidents which have held up the
lumber Production-
Attempting to cross Hazard Pass,
Houston's automobile plunges over a
cllfT. The unconscious driver is carried
to a small cabin where he recovers con
sciousness six hours later in the pres
ence of a beautiful girl. The patient
hears the voice of FRKD THAYER, the
suspected mill superintendent. Feigning
unconsciousness, IJonston hears Thayer
approach his bedside and mutter "I
wonder If he’s wise.” In order to dis
arm Thtyer, Houston feigns complete
loss of memory.
CHAPTER ll—Continued.
"Ah!” Then came the sound of heavy
steps, and Barry glanced toward the
door, to see framed there the gigantic
form of a grinning, bearded man, his
long arras hanging with the looseness of
tremendous strength, his gray eyes
gleaming with twinkling interest, his
whole being and build that of a great,
good-humored, eccentric giant. Then the
voice came, rumbling, yet pleasant:
‘‘He no remember, eh?”
“No. I know him all right It’s Barry
Houston—l’ve been expecting him to
drop in most any day.
“Eet Is the ” Ba’tlste was waving
one hand vaguely, then placing a finger
to his forehead —"Eet is the ”
"Amnesia.” The answer had come
from the girl now standing In the door
way.
"Ah. oui! Eet is the amnesia.’’
"Then there’s nothing for me to do
except to drop in every few days You'll
take good care of him?” asked Thayer.
"Ah. Oul.”
"Good. Want to walk a piece down
the road with me, Medatne?”
Then they faded through the doorway,
and Barry could hear no more. But he
found himself wondering about the girl
and her Interest in Fred Thayer, and
whether she. too, might be a part of the
machinery which he felt had been set up
against him; about the big, grinning
Ba’tiste, who now was fumbling about
with the bedclothing at the foot of the
bed and
"Ouch! Don’t—don't do that!"
Barry suddenly had ceased his thoughts
to Jerk his feet far up under the covers,
laughing and choking and striving to
talk at the same time. At the foot ot
the bed, Ba'tiste, his eyes twinkling more
than ever, had calmly rolled back the
covering and tickled the Injured man's
feet.
“Ho, ho!” and Batiste turned to talk
to the shaggy dog at h!s side. "L’en
fant feels it! L’enfant feels It!"
“Feel It,” grunted Houston. "Os course
I,feel It! I'm ticklish.”
"So?” Ba’tlste grinned and wagged a
finger. “You no tell the truth, I know.
I tickle your feet.”
"You're crazy”'
“So, mebbe. Ba'teese have his trou
ble.”
The face suddenly aged. The twink
ling light left the eyes. Then, "Bui
Ba’teese he know—see? When eet is the

tickle, tickle, and you would not know.
So you are—shamming. But you are

fatherly eyes toward the young man on
the bed —“shall ask no question—and

decision had been a hasty one. a scheme
to take Thayer olf his guard.
"When’s the doctor coming again?"
asked Barry.
The big man snapped his fingers.
“Peuffl Like that. Ba'teese call heem,

playing about his lips—" You. mon ami,
you—you look like my Pierre!”
With a sudden impulse, he swerved
about the bed and sat down beside the
sick man. "Ba’teese—’’he smiled plain
tively—“like to talk about Pierre—and
Julienne, my wife. Even though eet

Barry could think only In terms of
triteness.
“Have they been gone long?”
The big man counted on Ms fingers.
"One —two —t’ree year. Before that—

"I can’t make love to anybody. Ba'tiste
I haven't the privileges of most young

Ba'tiste scowled.
"You dam’ fool,” he said. "Buy 'em

"But you don’t know the story behind

A paradise for June bilrtes and their

the Home Complete Exposition will prove
to be. It is true, that every home lover
is Included in the long list of people who
will be interested in the exposition, yet,
whom could you find other than a con
firmed gardener or flower expert, who
loves the idea of a home raoro than the
Juno bride and her husband?
It would be well for tho June bride
to bring her prospective lesser 50 per
rent with her to the exposition to teach
him the many methods of home building,
and the many ways in which he can
prove useful around te house. From the
foundation of the home to the Installation
of the very latest and approved labor
savers, visitors to the exposition will
find a legion of new things for all types
of homes.
Homo furnishings for every room
which will delight tho heart of the pros
pective bride ,ns well as tha matron of
riper years, will be prominently featured.
Numerous lectures and demonstrations of
new types of furniture, new effects In
home decorating and now materials and
Ideaß for draperies, rugs and decorative
features are on tho program.
iVhat woman does not love to hear
and learn of new ideas for the home?
Whatever her bent and her Inclination
may be —whatever her particular pet in
home keeping Is, whether it be baking
pies, keeping a lovely flower garden, ar
rangement of funiture In the home, the
proper treatment of drapery and light

housekeeping, she will find at the Home
Complete Exposition actual examples of
the modern way in which to follow her

The ADVENTURES of
& Raggedy Raggedy
Ann and Andy jwr*
By JOHNNY ORUELLE P^/
‘‘Sqaeefclty squoeklty !”
“Ltteni Raggedy Ann whispered,
"Didn't that Bound like Johnny Cricket
fiddling down below us in the grasi?”
Raggedy Andy turned over and laid flat
upon hla rag tummy so that ho could
look down beneath the tall grasses. Rad
gedy Ann hastened to follow his ex
ample and the two Raggedy* saw what
made the queer squeak.
It was not Johnny Cricket fiddling.
Down beneath the grassea there was a
large bare piece of ground and all about
the edges of the grasses and nestled
amongst the tall blades, were littla tiny
houses. In the center of the bare piece
of ground, which seemed to be a square,
like tho squares In the little New Eng
land towns the two rug dolls saw a tiny
wagon and It was the little wheels
squeaking which had attracted their at
tention.
The tiny wr.gon was not more than an
inch long and was pulled by a term of
Caterpillar ponies; they had harness
male of spider webs and wnt crawling
slowly along, first one humping hi* back
and then the other.
This made the tiny wagon Jerk a piece,
then stop, then Jerk ahead, then stop.
Upon the wagon sat Grampa Hopp,.?j.rass
wearing a lung yellow coat and a little
green bit made of tiny grass blades
Grampa lloppergrnss wba ke.j the tiny
cobweb lines upon the back 0 f the Cater
pillar team nnd clucked to them Rag
gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy said noth
ing. they Just lay there watching.
When the little wagon reached th* side
of the tiny village square, Grampa llop
prrgras* pulled up tight upon the cob
web lino* and the two Caterpillar ponies
stopped in front of one of the little
houses.
Grampa Hoppergrass rang a tiny little
weeny weeny bell made out of on empty
seed pod and a little Indy Hoppergrass,
dresed in green, came out of her tiny
front door and up to the wagon.
She had a little leaf pan in her hand
and Grampa Hoppergrass measured out
a seed cup filled with something yel
low and poured It In the pan. Then other
little Lb.ppergras* Indie* cams out of
their llfflo leaf house* and received the
yellow stuff from Grampa Hoppergrass.
Finally, all the yellow stuff was gone
from Grampa Hoppergrass' wagon and he
gave the cob web lines a slap upon the
Caterpillar ponies' backs and went
squeaking along under the grass and out
of sight.
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy lay
upon thoir tummy* watching the Hop
pergrass ladles sweeping their front steps
anil cleaning the windows of their tiny
house* until soon up above them th'-v
hoard tho skeeklty squeek of Grampa
Hoppergrass' tiny wagon wheels.

| Looking up. Raggdy Ann and Raggedy
, Andy saw the Caterpillar ponies pull-
I Riff the little wagon right up the sialk of
: a tall weed. It was hard work and they
humped their little backs and pulled and
I pulled.
Grampa Hoppergrass walked along be
side them, clucking to them and push
| iug on the wagon.
Finally, the Caterpillar ponies came to
a largo branch on the weed , and, pull
as they might, they could not get the
little wagon over It.
Raggedy Ann put out her soft wnlte
rag hand and held it close to t£o stem of
the weed. The Caterpillar ponies start
; ed to back up, but Grampa Hoppergrass
seeing Lhe smile upon Raggedy Ann's face
: called to tho Carterplllar ponies, "Glttup
there! Gee! haw i” and smacking the
cobweb lines upon their backs, he drove
the wagon right upon Ann's band. Then
Ann lifted trem all up to the flowers at
I the top of the weed. “Thank you so
much!” said Grampa Hoppergrass; "It
was a long puli up here!”
j "What did you drive up there for!”
' Raggedy Andy asked.
"Why!” Grampa Hoppergrass replied as
ho took a chaw of tobaccy. "We gather
the yellow polen from the Costers for
the Hoppergra*ses!”
"Do they pay you for It?” asked Andy,
I "Land sukes, no!” laughed Grampie
Hoppergrass as he took hts blue bandana
hanky from his coat tali* and wiped his
forehead. "We Just do it to save the
lady lloppergrnsses the troulde of climb
ing up here and getting it themselves.
They make lovely honey cookies and cakes
with it!”
"Then,” said Raggedy Ar.n, "we will
gather the flowers from the tops of a
whole lot of the weeds around her nnd
pile th*ui right down near the center of
the Hoppergrass Village!” So Raggedy
Ann lifted the little wagon and the Cater
pillar ponies back down to the ground,
then she and Andy pulled a great bunch
of flowers aud placed them in the liop
pergruss Village square.
All the Ileppergrasses cam* out and
gathered the yellow pollen In tiny bas
kets and buckets. "That will be enough
to last us for the rest of the summer!”'
said Grampa Hoppergrass ns he un
hitched the CarterpiliaE ponies. “So,
now the Caterpillar ponies won't have to
work any more. And I'm going home and
get Gramma and aud take her to tho Ka
tydid Movies!”
"Good-by!” Raggedy Ann and Andy
*ald to him.
"I wish you were not *o large! I would
take you with us, but the Movies are in
a tomato can!” And flicking his coat
tails Grampa Hoppergrass ran down be
neath to his home. —Copyright, 1922.
Fashion Hints
BY MARIE BRAINAHD.
PARIS, May 2.—Tho henna bath has
become fashionable here with ladies who
deem olive colored skin worth acquiring.
These baths, strongly tinctured with
henna dye, are taken monthly and give a
delicate tint which looks well with the
evening dresses of oriental shades and
design now popular here. Immersing is
said to be easier than just treating that
portion of the body that may show.
Head bands are seen again here. They
are not being worn by the bobbed
hatred women, however. Bobbing is go
ing surely though slowly. Another year
won’t see many women with their tresses
abbreviated. And yet very long hair
will hardly be popular. The hair dress
ers say the women will not stand for
heavy gobs of hair on their heads again
—not for some time, anyway.

Chapter XXXI—Our First Quarrel
Br A BRinK
I strung my heads on a linen thread
while Jack finished his shaving. AA'e
hadn't expected to find each other per
; feet, I thought. I wasn't. But 1 did
• most things the best I could—here fell
a few tears almost as large as my beads
I —and I had believed that Jack had
married me because he preferred me to
all other women—more tears hut what
i Jack really wanted was to sit opposite
Mrs. llerrnd and make life one continual
game of chess!
I tied the ends of my thread ns neatly
as possible. 1 heard my husband go to
the closet for his coat. From my third
story window, I saw the postman com
ing up the street, and without speaking
to Jack, I started down stairs after the
mail.
“Peggins!” X heard Jack call. I did
not answer. ‘Teg! Como back here!''
My husband's voice was stern. Never
had I heard him speak so. My pro
longed silence of the morning had pro
duced some reaction, I was pleased to
note.
But if Jack was exasperated, at last,
so was I! I proceeded on my errand
down stairs and paid no attention what
ever to Mr. John Cuthbert Madison.
To be ordered—by a husband—like
that! Who would have dreamed that
my considerate Jack could become so
domineering? And what could a bride
of spirit do but ignore a young husband’s
first harsh command?
The postman had left nothing In our
box. I gave 1t a swift glance, and

WOMEN URGING
RECOGNITION OF
SOVIET RUSSIA
League of Peace and Freedom
Takes Place in Limelight
at Washington.
BY CONSTANCE I)REXEL.
WASHINGTON, May 2.—The Women’s
International League of Peace anil Free
dom of which Miss Jane Addams 1*
president has replaced the League of
Women Voters as the most active group
of women in Washington at the moment.
To identify this group, It is perha $
well to explain that it 19 the same o
ganizutlon which held its first interna
tional congress at the Hague just seven
years ago, in April, 1915. Governments
intervened with any further meetings un
til May, 1919, when they met in Zurich.
Switzerland. Last summer they met in
Vienna, Miss Jane Addams has presided
at each of the congresses.
Probably this group of women is the
most courageous of any in the way of
delving into international relations. In
May, 1919, they denounced the peace
treaty which has then been handed to
the Germans in Versailles but not yet
signed and they foOmd fault with many
of the provisions of tho League of Na
tions. However it is not the interna
tional league that has been meeting in
convention here the past three days. It
is only the American branch, though
three foreign women have come over spe
cially for the meetings. They are to tour
the country under the auspices of the
league.
One of them, Miss Gertrude Baer of
Munich, Germany, caused consternation
! at tho mass meeting yesterday by her
jfa 1 1 11 re to appear, because of detention at
, Ellis Island, on suspicion of belonging to
j the Communist party of Germany,
j Furthermore, she could not keep her
■appointment with the President today
i 1 made by the State Department at re
! quest of the German embassy, it is
j said), nor could she go with the delega
; tion of women to Secretary Hughes. But
j word received at headquarters of tho
: Women’s International League this after
noon said she had been released from
Ellis Is,'aud and now was In New York,
where she would speak tomorrow.
The other foreign women here are Mrs.
Annette Robinson of Manchester, Eng
land, and Mile. Therese Pottecher of
Paris. The resolution passed by the con
vention, both in its sessions at the Graca
i Hotel on Saturday and again at the meet
: In? in New Masonic Temple yesterday, in
-1 eluded one for the outlawing of war, sim
ilar to that passed in the last few days
| by the national conventions of the Y. W.
10. A. in Hot Springs, Ark., and the
| League of Women Voters In Baltimore;
I resolutions urging tho United States to
recognize the Soviet government of Bus
sla; calling upon the President to grant
| Immediate amnesty for war-time political
prisoners in Federal prisons, and urging
' the withdrawal of American troops from
j Haiti and San Domingo. Still auother
resolution called upon women to support
for Congress and other office only such
i candidates as are pledged to drastic re
ductions of armaments.
The question of whether or not the
league should demand a pledge of non
resistance from Its members was dis
cussed and urged by Henry Villgrd of
New York and Miss Mary WinsSr of
I’ennslyvania, but defeated.
The State Department has giv&c out
the text of the Russian resolution pre
sented by a delegation of the Women's
International League and Secretary
j Hughes’ reply to them.
The six women who spoke for the reso
lution are Mrs. John Jay White of New
York. Miss Ella Boyntor. of Chicago, Miss
Helena Dudley, a settlement worker of
Boston. Mrs. W. A. Atkinson of Detroit,
formerly president of the Michigan
branch of the American University Wom
en, Mrs. Zonla Baber of Chicago, who at
tended the League of Nations meetings in
Geneva when Dr. Nansen told his ex
periences in Russia when repatriating
prisoners of war and Miss Lucy Branham
who recently returend from famine relief
work in the Volga regions.
Other members of the delegation to
call upon Secretary Hughes today in*

Theodore Andre, Mrs. W. T. Anderson
i and Mrs Allen Robertson, all of 'Wiscon

Plucked Eyebrows
Absolutely Passe
And speaking of eyes—the very thinly
outlined eyebrow Is no longer good.
Women who really wish to be bebautlf*!
are no longer allowing their brows to
be narrowed by pulling them out. In
deed. In Paris, the very narrow eyebrow
is considered hideous!
Many women who suffered having their
brows made so are now using vasellno
to hasten their return. An excellent way
to use an eyebrow remedy is to brush
it in with the small eyebrow brushes.
rushed out of doors.
I had just enough common sense left
to realize that Jack had not seen the
postman, had not understood why I was
going down stairs without him, had not
asked why. wouldn't have let me go for
the mail had he known, would have gone
himself.
Moved 1 know not liy what streak of
stuhh.ornness, I flew out of the house,
hearing Jack on the stairs just before the
door slammed behind me. A score of
steps took me around the corner of the
building. :
I wanted to get away from Jack,
wanted to think alone, wanted him to
miss me.
llow could I make hirrv feel that be
needed me, that already I had become
indispensable as long as I stayed at
home and made him comfortable, as long
as I amused him? That had been wom
an's ancient way. AA'hat bad It got for
her? For my own mother it had ended
in divorce.
Well, I had learned from mother's ex
perience.
I would not forgive Jack too easily,
that I decided, although by this time 1
was not very clear about what Jack
ought to be forgiven.
And how was I to guess that Jack
imagined the impossible, that he had
divined my hurt about Mrs. Herrod, and
that when 1 left our suite, ha believed
I was leaving him, he knew not for hovf
long!—(To be continued) iCtopyright,
