Conspirators

(WNU Service)
LINDA DEERINQ knew perfectly
well that young man kneeling
beside the Siberian Iris was no gar
dener. lie was Mrs. Damon's nephew,
who she had heard her Aunt Lily say
was handsome as a Greek god.
Strange, In all her visits to Middle
valley, that this was the only time
their visits had coincided; and of
course It would happen when Aunt
Lily and Mrs. Damon weren't on
speaking terms.
Linda glided back and forth In the
new hammock, pretending to read.
“He’s handsomer than any old Greek
god,” she was thinking. “And the
only attractive man I've seen In the
valley 1” What right had neighbors
to quarrel over a paltry boundary
line? She ought, out of loyalty, she
supposed, carry on the feud. Well,
even that might be an opening.
“What right have you digging up
my aunt's Iris?" she demanded. And
then before he could reply, “Tell your
mistress that iris does not belong to
her.”
“My mistress!” Matthew Damon
grinned, settling back on his heels
and appraising the intruder. “So you
think I work here. Well, I do, It ap
pears. Aunt Sara finds plenty of odd
jobs for me. But as for the Iris, why
don't you go tell your mistress to
make her old iris stay on her side of
the line?”
"My mistress!” Linda flushed scar
let. “You needn’t think I think you
think I'm a hired girl! You know
perfectly well who I am."
"Sure 1 do. You’re Linda Deering,
spitfire niece of a spitfire aunt.”
“Why you! Why you! It wasn’t
Aunt Lily who began this fight. It was
your own busybody aunt, tearing up
Aunt Lily's beautiful iris!”
“Just ns I’m doing now,” he said
coolly trowling under an enormous
Linda ran for the house. A moment
and she was back, trowel and water
ing pot in hand. “Every plant you’ve
torn up goes back,” she announced
firmly, and proceeded to carry out her
threat. Furiously she transplanted
what he furiously uprooted.
Challenging eyes met challenging
eyes, blue to black. The black ones,
I.tnda saw, were laughing at her.
“I've heard of folks who couldn’t
make their eyes behave, but you folks
can't even make your garden Iris be
have. See that that crooked row
you’re sticking In my aunt's lawn
doesn't run all over the place.”
“Oh, dear! It Is crooked, isn’t It?”
I.indu mopped her brow with a soil,
streaked palm. "Whew! this Is hot
work.”
“I've had about enough of It my
self. What say we quit and take a
cool spin? Meet me round the corner
in ten minutes, so our aunts won’t
see.”
Bine eyes smiled at black. “Okay,”
whispered Linda.
Middle valley wasn’t going to be so
deadly dull after all, Linda decided.
Only she and Matt would have to be
careful. If his aunt ever found out
well, the old cat might disinherit him.
Nor did she wish to curry disfavor
with Aunt Lily.
Accordingly, Matt nnd Linda insult
ed each other openly over the long
row of Siberian iris between the two
places, which extended, day by day,
even down the back yard, too—Matt
digging it up, Linda planting It back.
This could not go on forever, but It
served for many a date during the
next two weeks. They drove Matt’s
roadster to a nearby pond and went
swimming together, sunning them
selves on a sandy strip of beach. Al
ready they had reached the point
where each knew the other was be
loved.
“H’mph!” grunted Aunt Lily, sur
veying the Iris border with satisfac
tion, the next morning. "Beckon Sara
Pamon’ll know when she’s licked.
She and that upstart nephew of hers.”
Linda blushed guiltily. “Oh, Matt
Isn't so bad.”
“Matt! Got to calling him Matt, have
you? H'mpli!”
That afternoon Matt Damon’s car
took the mountain road. “Linda, see
how peaceful It looks d(jwn in the
valley.”
“I think it’s lovely, Matt And to
think our own aunts hate each oth
SCIENTISTS STUDYING
NORTHERN LIGHTS
The Northern Lights in Alas
ka are now under the closest
possible scrutiny, in the hope
of obtaining more definite in
formation on the heighth of
the aurora as an aid in calcu
lating the height and compo
sition of the atmosphere.
To accomplish this, the met
eorologists taking part in the
second international polar year
are combining the arts of pho
tography and radio. Repre
sentatives of the Weather Bu
reau have set up special cam
eras at two stations in Alaska
Point Barow and Nome. These
stations, together with one at
Fairbanks, established by the
Carnegie Institute of Washing
ton, will be in communication
by radio at all times.
When an aurora is sighted,
the cameras will be focused on
a certain selected star and all
will be snapped simultaneous
ly. The Army Signal Corps,
which operates the government
radio communication in Alas
ka, will give the signals for
taking the pictures and as
many as possible of these sych
ronized photographs will be
made. Meteorologists, using
these photographs and the star
charts, will be able to compute
the height of the aurora from
its position with reference to
the selected star at the three
observation points. The par
ticularly long base lines pro
vided in Alaska for these cal
culations promise to W'eather

er! I just can’t go on pretenuing iu
hate you, Matt. I’m going to tell
Aunt Lily—”
“What, Linda? That you love me
and I love you? That we intern! to
get married this fall, and they ran
keep their old money and iris and
feud?”
Well, back they went, striking
while the iron was hot, first Aunt Lily
and then Aunt Sara. Then they took
the pond road for a nice cool swim.
Both aunts had been too stunned with
the suddenness of the news to do more
than gasp. The love birds flew out
before they could say a word
Behind her ruffled curtain Lily
Deering watched them drive away.
She took the huge bouquet of iris
from the center of the dining table
nnd trotted across to her neigiibor’s
back door.
' “Ain't they beautiful! Thanks,
Lily; I’ve missed it so. Say, you’ve
heard the news?” beamed Mrs. Da
mon.
“Just now. That's why 1 run In.
Ain’t it just wonderful, Sara—the
finest boy in the world getting the
finest girl!”
“Grand. You were right, Lily. It
worked fine. All young folks need to
bring them together is plenty of op
position.”
Bureau officials a degree of
accuracy never before attained
in making such measurements.
ALASKA MUSKOXEN
HERD IS THRIVING
Distinct gains in the weight
of the individual members of
the herd of muskoxen brought
to the Territory from Green
land last year is noted in re
ports from the Alaska Agri
cultural College at Fairbanks.
After a summer on Gold
stream Hill, a portion of which
constitutes the summer pasture
of the Biological Survey, the
herd was recently brought
down to the winter pasture
at the College, where it waj
found that the three year old
animals had made an average
gain in weight of between 80!
and 83 pounds during the sum
mer and the two-year olds
had gained an average of be
tween 102 and 112 pounds in;
the same time. The weight of
the heaviest animal at the
time of the herd’s arrival was
226 pounds and the same ani
mal, still the heaviest, is now
442 pounds.
Hudson Stuck Thermometer

After reposing for 20 years
some 15,000 feet up on the
towering slopes of Mount Mc

Hudson Stuck in his memoraP'e
ascent of the famous peak for
the first time, was recovered
last summer and is now in
Washington, D. C., where it
will be subjected to accurate
calibration by the Weather
Bureau. It is calibrated only
as low as 90 degrees below ze

had withstood a temperature
of about 105 degrees below

mountain. It was placed on
the mountain in 1912.
