"Nothing .. I'm sorry." But it was enough to hold him. He brought out a pipe and filled and lighted it. He smoked in silence and seemed to listen to the night's quiet Virginia felt the nearness of him and the distance of him, too.

Each occasion Jim Randall looked back frowning to disapproval. His frowns prompted Virginia to talk more spiritedly, laugh more gaily. At dusk, Mel Scarlett, the scout, appeared suddenly on the trail ahead. He had been scouting all day, seeming to travel 10 miles to the column's one. He made a sign to Jim Randall, and the officer's order halted the march. The troop- ers rode forward to flank the wagons. They had halted in a wooded, rocky country. Beyond where Mel Scarlett sat on his horse was a wide, shallow stream. On the far side stood a mounted figure, motionless as stone. An Apache. Naked ex- cept for head -band, breech -clout, moccasins and bandolier of cart- ridges, his body shone coppery in the half-light. He carried rifle and lance. Scarlett rode to Jiro Randall "Wants a. pow -wow. sir. Don't like it none. Good spot for an ambush,' Jim Randall nodded. He talked to Sgt. O'Hara. He sent a trooper forward on foot to a fallen tree lying sotnc 30 yards ahead Then. with Mel Scarlett, he rode to the stream and entered to its middle. The water swirled about his horse's legs. The Apache rode to the water's edge: signaled with his lance. A second Indian appeared from the trees and )Dined the first They entered the water. Tee talk began. Shortly a third warrior appeared and ioined the first two A minute later a fourth followed, The fifth, emerging from behind a giant boulder. appeared and rode to the group. Virginia stepped from the car- riage. She heard the soldiers voic- ing anxious thoughts. O'Grady, her driver, growled annoyance. "Ts Randall a fool? ic'e's walked into a trap!" Steve Carron rode close. "Don't worry," he said easily. "Randall will handle the situation." Virginia looked at ltim surprised. He grinned at her. "Oh, 5)111 Randall and I respect one another.--" he began but broke off as Sgt. O'Hara. a grizzled old campaigner, ;poke quirt orders, The troopers dismounted with their rifles. They took up positions for a skirmish. Steve Barron dis- mounted. He wore two ivory butted guns in holsters at his thighs. His face was suddenly grave. "Looks like trouble." he said "The sergeant is worried because Randall is outnumbered. If there's an attack, it will be because the Apaches are much stronger in num ber than the soldiers." He looked closely at Virginia. "Frightened?" She shook her head. "No , . But her lips were cold and dry.

That's jam. \Viten it conies to jam malting they're inclined to follow "rule of thumb" methods, often with results that aren't en- tirely satisfactory. Titis is a great mistake when it's so easy to follow scientific instruc- tions that lead straight to success. Here, for instance, is a grand way to make that almost universal favor- ite: STRAWBERRY JAM 4 cups prepared fruit 7 cups sugar bottle fruit pectin Method. Crush thoroughly about 2 quarts fully ripe strawberries. Measure 4 cups into a large sauce- pan. Add sugar to fruit in sauce- pan and mix well. Place over high heat, bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in bottled fruit pectin, Then B '♦q teaspoon salt teaspoon nutmeg 3 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons butter or margarine pastry Method. Combine rhubarb and strawberries, and place in a deep baking dish. Mix sugar, salt, hut - meg and flour, and sprinkle over fruit. Sprinkle with lemon juice and dot with butter. Roll out pastry to fit dish and place over fruit. Fold edges under. and crimp. Make several gashes in top of crust and bake in a hot oven (425 degrees F.) 40 minutes. (If straw- berries are very large, cut in halves.' This recipe makes 6 serving's. And, to finish out on the same note I started out with, here's an easy to make sauce that adds the perfect touch to cornstarch pudding or any number of other dishes.

How can I prevent paint blishers? A. When paint blisters it is dir- ectly caused by moisture, and it is quite useless to try to remove the blemish by applying more paint. Moisture is entering the wall and the painted surface is being soaked from the back. The only way to prevent this condition is to locate'. the leaks and close them. Before repainting, be sure to remove all loose paint around the blister. Q, .H ow can I determine, whether yeast is old? A, If.there are dark spots on the yeast cake, it is better not to use it, as some of the yeast plants are dead. A good cake of yeast is moist, uniformly creamy in color, and can be easily broken into crumbs. Q. How should molasses be measured? A, Grease the cup lightly before measuring molasses, or dip it full of flour and then empty it. Either Method will enable every drop of molasses to come out of the cup without sticking. Q. How should dress shields be washed? A. The best method towash them is to wet in lukewarm suds, and their place them flat on the side of the bathroom bowl and scrub well with the nail brush. Rinse in lulte warm water and dry in a Andy airy place.
