SYNOPSIS
The Boston Lawrences came to Cali-
fornia at the beginning of the gold
rush, but the holdings of the family
have shrunk to a small farm, and the
old family home in Clippersville. Phil,
twenty-five, has gone inte the Iron
works, Gall to the public library and
Kdlth to the book department of a
store. Sam Is in school, and seventeen-
year-old Ariel is becoming a problem.
Poll is fascinated by "that terrible''
l.ily Cass, whose husban^ has deserted
her. Young Van Murchison, scion of a
wealthy family, returns from Yale, and
(Jail has visions, through marriage with
him, of the turning of the Lawrence
luck. Dick Stebbins, Phil's friend, has
the run of the house. Ariel is sneak-
ing out at night for Joy rifles. Phil
suggests, to his sisters' consternation,
that they Invite Lily Cass ^o the house.
Call goes with Van for a week-etui
with the Ohlpps, his uncle and aunt.
She is received coldly. At a road house
Gall sees Ariel, at midnight. Next day
Ariel admits she was at the place, and
displays no remorse. A policeman
brings Ariel home, announcing that a
child hae been killed in an automobile
smash up. Ariel was driving one of the
cars. Dick St e lib Ins, who has been ad-
mitted to the bar. has the case against
Ariel dismissed. Gail suddenly realizes
that ahe loves Dick and not Van.
CHAPTER VII—Continued
—1&—
"No, thanks," Ariel benari to answer
steadily, but her voice shook suddenly,
and her word* cauie In a rush. "I don't
want to go and ffave every old church-
going. psalm-slnglng, cnke-snle-makluc
old woman In this town pointing me
out," she said In a low tone. "I don't
want my clothes to come from Mai-
ler's any more, I don't want sodas at
Dobbins', and dances at Oddfellows'
hall. I'm sick to death of this whole
place, and this house, and being poor!
I'm not going to stand It. either! I'm
goinK down to Hollywood If { have to
walk there, and I'm B0ln«—"
"Ah, sweetheart, you'll -only make
yourself 111!" (jail pleaded, close be-
side her now, sitting on the arm of
Ariel's chair, with one arm about the
yauger sister's shoulders. "Don't get
yourse,
ling—1
fancy-dress party, and we give a birth-
day, party—"
She stopped, for Ariel, looking at
her with a trembling laugh of scorn,
broke as suddenly into tears, and was
laughing and crying In the familiar
manner before any one of them could
attempt to divert her. Guided by Gail,
sbe stumbled from the room and up-
stairs, sobbing incoherently and now
beginning to feel wretchedly sick—
cold, hot, nauseated, dizzy.
Gail turned down the wide old bed
and flattened the pillows; she carried
a fresh nightgown to the poor little
convulsed tigure, kept an arm about
the shaking shoulders. She lowered
the shades, lighted a bead of gas,
slipped the hot rubber bag comfort-
ingly In between the old linen sheets.
And all the while her heart sung ou
a strengthening note. "Dick—Dick—
INck." It was good to be twenty-three,
and to have Dick In the world! Gail
felt that she had never been so near
to Ariel, never had loved her so dearly.
And so dowustalrs to the dear famil-
iar plates and lights, the peach tapioca
and the blackberry punch, the eager
conversation that was punctuated with
laughter and supplemented by the
books they always dragged In some-
how, for reference or support.
"Wonderful to have It cold again!"
Edith said.
"Wonderful!" Gall echoed. But It
waa not the autumn coolnesa that made
her heart alng and float Ilka a skylark.
The secret waa always with her, and
when ahe forgot Dick for a second. It
waa delicious suddenly to remember
^>lia again. Gall had never bad any
feeling like thla In her life before; ahe
had never known that there was such
a feeling.
'Dick," she thought. "Dick. Dick.
Dick. Dick."
And at the realization that he might
quite naturally come Into the dining
room, and sit here visibly under the
raaplng gaslight, she felt actually faint
with ecstasy.
"You don't like Van as well as you
did," Kdlth guessed shrewdly In the
days that followed.
"No—but still I like him," Gall sn-
s we rod defensively.
to Mitt that Artel tad called
Van Murchison on the talepboM at

"I think from What she said at the
telephone—she talked very low," ahe
had reaumed, "I think that he wanted
her te ge off somewhere to lunch with
him."
"The Chippa r

"Gall, if I thought yon didn't care,
rd pray about U!" Kdlth had aald pas-
atoaately. "Wouldn't it he wonderful I"
"t got a little fua out of it." Oall
had analysed the aituation musingly.
"I mean, I loved the excitement and
knowing persona like the Cblpps. But
I never get—anything, really, out of
Van."
"Abigail I.awrence, he adored you!"
"No, no—he liked me. I amused him.
We were like two boys. Really we
were," Gall had persisted, as Kdlth be-
gan a significant smile. "He never put
his linger tip on me—he doesn't make
love! Or at least be didn't to me,"
she had finished, thinking aloud, feel-
ing for words.
Upstairs in Ariel's room, they re-
verted to the subject.
"I like Van," Gull said, "iitit 1 think
he's terribly giddy."
"What would you want liitn to be. a
priest?' Ariel demanded un.syinpathet-
I unity.
"Don't yon have the feeling lie's al-
ways laughing at everything, Ariel?"
"No." Ariel answered stubbornly,
scowiingly, "1 don't."
"<>b, I do," (iali said patiently
"I want to go away, IGiliUi and Gull,"
Ariel presently said unletly. Tliil can
make a I'uss if lie wants to. Or lie
can help uie. I don't much care. I Jut
I'm going away from Cllpiiersvllle."
They looked ut tier sorrowfully. Sin-

slnen. on the Sunday afternoon fal-
lowing the accident Outwardly, every-
thing was just as uausl, but Gall was
conscious of changes In the air. She
bad been asked by Van to dinner up
at the Ciilpps' the night before, and
had declined. The thrilling proapect of
ahabby, quiet Dick Stebhlna' company
at the Lawrence house bad made any-
thing the Murchlsona did or did not do

had been saying It indeed since her
fourteenth summer.
But this was serious. Ariel had re-
fused to return to school after the
accident I'lili had talked to Mrs. Tripp,
the principal. Mrs. Tripp liad put the
case plainly to I'hll. Ariel Lawrence
hail been going too fast anil too far
for some time. A good boarding school,
at her ajt«(. . . .
This had frightened Gall and I'hll.
They had not mentioned It to the otli
ers, least of all, Ariel. They had no
money for boarding school, even sup-
posing that Ariel would go.
Hut very probably Ariel would rebel.
She seemed older, harder, colder, in
these few days. The events of the past
week bad seemed to embitter tier, to
accentuate her familiar impatience with
Clippersville and life In It. On Sattir
day afternoon Gail bad found her toil
lug over a typewritten letter, sup-
posedly to aouie moving-picture con-
cern. She had seen Ariel enclosing
snnptdiots, presumably of iierself— her
beautiful little golden-headed self.
I'oor little buttertly. caught In the
trap of poverty, pettiness, slinhhlness,
and general small-town ugliness! Ariel
was only one of a thousand, a million,
girls, all over the country who were
dreaming of Hollywood, contracts, ad-
miration, excitement
"She'd not mind marrying a man
like Van," Gall tltonght. "She'd know
bow to manage bits. She wouldn't
want more than be could give! . . .
We seem to be growing up pretty fast
all of a sudden."
She bad grown tip anyway. She was
a woman now, because she loved
man. It made her reel solemn, conse-
crated. It waa quite unlike any feel-
ing she had ever known before. Deep-
ly. eternally, she was Dick's—for sor-
row or Joy, their two lives were Indls-
soluhly united.
She could even feel s little heart
ache for the girlhood she must leave
behind her. love, marriage, wifehood
-these were solemn thiugs. Gall ex
perleneed a premonitory pang. It whs

blankly.
"Aren't we?" he demanded, stopping

Her blood rose at once. Of courts
they would picnic! She began to put
peeled tomatoes, lettuce, flsb Into a
deep glass Jar. Dick Stebhlna! Why,
be was the same country boy be bad
slways been Nice euougb. The salt ot
the earth.
Dick rame to stand beside Gull, tbe
wrapped packagen of coffee and Riigar
in his big hand, and she trembled and
dared not look up.
They went up to the old dam. In tho
sweetness of the autumn afternoon,
and built their picnic supper tire on
the sunshiny shingle. The air was
sweet with wild grapes, tnrweed, and
crushed grass; the scent of boiling
colTee mingled with the other good
odors In the hot sunset stillness. I'lili
sut silent, utterly content, watching a
tish line, his handsome, thick Lawrence
brows drawn together us he pondered
something that was fur away from
tisliing. Ariel ami Van Murchison were
ou the shingle. Van was so close that
Ills head almost touched her elbow;
he was lying on tils side, looking up
at tier as he talked.
Sum not being at home when tho
picnic e*| 'dltion had started, a noto
had been left for him, pinned to the
kitchen door. Van, arriving before Sum.
had calmly read the note, and had sat
down on the Lawrences' doorstep to
await Sum's return. After which they
bad followed the others in Van's car,
a circumstance that added the last
touch of felicity to the occasion for
Gail. She remembered her old efforts
to attruct Van, a few months ago, tho
sallies of wit, the constant attempt to
amuse him.
Ariel made no such efforts—not she!
She simply was. and Van trailed bet
helplessly, irresistibly. When Ariel
went down to walk across the old
boards of tbe dam, Van followed. When
she enme back, and Idly began to build
a little pebbly pen for the velvet-
brown, yellow-bellied water dogs. Van
became ber enthusiastic aide, Ariel.
Gail noted, did not speak much; she
never did. Van did all the chattering;
Tbe little tire burned hotly In the
wlndiess air; long shafts of sunset
were striking level upon the watef
now, the dam was a sheet of blue
satin, twinkling In the light, and slip-
ping Into exquisite Jade and uJtrama-
rlne shadows against the overhanging
bunks.
And this was the night that I'hll ac
tually got a trout—quite a big one—
and the night they m.iw a rattler, anil
the night they picked the hajiel nuts.
"Oh, we do have fun!" Kdlth com-
mented luxuriously, lying on the lint
hot stones as the meal finished.
There was silence ill the group that
was resting on the shingle In the dusk.
A great owl Honied low over the dam,
and was gone; the creek rippled, rip-
pled iii the pause.
Clearing away all signs of the picnic
lu the fast-gathering dusk, Gull tried
an experiment. Upon Dick's carrying
oil the coffee pot to throw the grounds
away behind the trees, she rewarded
him with a casual "Thank you, dear!''
said Iti Just the tone she used to Sam
and I'hll. Later she said again, "l ake
that, will you, dear?"
She couldn't remember whether she
had ever called Dick "dear" before. If
she had, It had not meant anything.
Probably she had, for It aeenied to
make not the slightest Impression on
him tonight. If he hud looked sur-
prised she had planned to laugh quite
naturally and gay, "I thought I was
talking to Sam!"
Itut there was no necessity for this
explanation. Dick paid no sttentlou to
the affectionate monosyllable. Oblivi-
ous old Dick, she thought, who never
dreamed that close beside him was a
woman who was thrilling with love
and happiness ami tbe need for him In
this wonderful hour of autumn warmth
and moonshine!
They walked, singing, down the
steep, rutty half mile to the cars; Gstl
needed a hand now; tbe bund that
grlp|>ed ber own was Dick's. She msr-
veled that be could not feel the el^v-
trlc current that ran through the tip*
of the square, firm lingers.
Afterward she ulways remembered
the night they went up to the dsm. A
hot night of moonshine and laughter
and talk on the shingle above the dam.
Soon the weather changed and au-
tumn came In. with October. In earnest.
The leaves begun to fall now, and the
winds to blow. To tiall It was a llirlli

Date Palm Real
Staff of Life
Fruit Indispensable to the
People of Desert
Regions.
Rival ships from Iraq, ladea with
dates, reached New York recently,
after a spirited race acroaa tho At-
lantic to obtain c premium for bring-
ing the season's first dates. Thla
annual HMNO-mile race. Instituted in
1898, and reminiscent of the tea-
slipper races, calla attention to the
Importance of dates as an article of
food, soya a bulletin from the Na-
tional Geographic aoclety.
Deserts would be totally unpop-
ulated were It not for camels and
dates. The dute palm Is a stoic
among trees, living on salty land
that kills other vegetation. Some-
times nppearing half burled In sand.
It readies down for alkaline wuter
and thrives. Some date palms blos-
som and bear In the hottest regions
of the globe, while others have en-
dured where the mercury fails to §2
degrees F.
The date palm is noted for Its fe-
cundity. From about Its sixth year
until sometimes past its hundredth,
it bears great clusters of dates, ag-
gregating between I'M) and 400
pounds annually. A single bunch
frequently weighs as much as 40
pounds and has to be straddled
across a bough to prevent it from
breaking off because of its own
weight. An acre planted with dute
palms will keep more people from
starvation than an acre planted with
anything else except plantain.
Tlil.s fecundity I* made possible
only by artificial pollination. Male
and female flowers are borne on sep-
arate dnte palms. Over 90 per cent
of male palms, which have sparser
rollage and do not bear fruit, are
weeded out to make way for the
frult-bearlng trees; one poljen-bear-
Ing tree usually Is surrounded by 25
to 100 fruit trees. Wind pollination
being too haphazard. It Is not un-
usual to see Arabs climbing the
trees to fasten with palm-leaf libera
a spray of waxy-white, p«Jlen-bear-
!ng flowers on eacb greenish cluster
of potential fruit. If followed by
a sudden rain, this process has to
be repeated. For this reason, mod-
ern date gruwers often keep a sup-
ply of pollen from one year to the
next. One supply, kept, in a bottle,
had not lost. Its power when used
ten years later.
Dute palms grow usually between

ery green fronds waving against a
hot blue sky bring cheer to desert
caravans traveling a waste of sand,
assuring them food, shade and usu-
ally a nearby bubbling spring, peo-
ple whose sole encounter with dates
is meeting them dried, dark, and
Compressed together In sticky pack-
ages. hardly realize the beauty of
dates on the tree, when sunset turns
the clusters of yellow or red fruit
to scarlet, their stems to gold.
In the harvest' time boys with
sickles scamper up the tall trunks
and sever the stems. Dates of in-
ferior quality are tossed carelessly
below to he caught on a sheet. The
best are passed down the palm trunk
friwa hand to hand, often by as many
as eight boys who have climbed up
one behind another. Once sorted,
the best dates are usually sent hy
camels, then by barges down rivers
to the seacoast for shipment. The
rest are consumed or packed In
skins or tins, where some varieties
keep indefinitely.
What the birch Is to the Siber-Ian,
and the bamboo to tlx; tropic dwell-
er. the date palm Is to Ihe North
African. Not only i.i the rij>e fruit eat-
en uncooked, cooked or pounded Into
a paste with locusts and other food-
stuffs; but from macerated dates
steeped in water or inllk, various
beverages are concocted. When tbe
old dale palms cease bearing, a tod-
dy is drawn from*Incisions made in
t lie trunks. The trunks provide
posts and furniture for North Afri-
can huts; the leaves, thatch. Pack-
lag cases far transporting the fruit
ar>c also made from the leaves. The
bark supplies fiber for rot*-, sacks,
and uiiirtlng baskets. The leafstalks
are used as fuel.
