CHAPTER IV.
It was an hour before the troop-
ers returned. They filed in like
weary men. Jim Randall came last
with Scarlett and O'Hara, ,Jim went
directly to where the two men lay.
He knelt first by one then by the
other.
Virginia bad spent the hour be-
side the one, trying to make him
comfortable, washing the sticky
dust from his boyish face with his "
neckscarf wetted from a canteen.
She knelt there and watched Jim
Randall's face; the look in his eyes
as he examined the trooper hurt her.
He bared the man's chest, his fin-
gers probed gently. He called for
bandages. "You'll he all right,
Martin "

"Sure, lieutenant. We'll ride the
river together again, eh?"
"Sure, Martin."
He rose and stepped to the other
man. He didn't kneel here; there
was nothing he could do. Virginia
rose and turned. She stood behind
him She reached out and touched
his hand; it was balled into a hard
fist. It opened, gripped her fingers
briefly; he turned and walked away.

Was a dark-haired, dark -eyed wo-
man of 45, owner of a gay laugh and
sparkling eyes come of being still
loved by her husband after 20 years
of married life. She was an army
wife and she loved army life, and
when she spoke of soldiers it was
with gentle pride.

ing softly, 10iblatneu himself, of

Virginia."
Virgins liked Martha Benson. In
two hours they had become friends.
She said, "There's much to admire
in Jim Randall. And much to—"
She did not finish.
"He's an old friend?"
"I knew him only for a week."
Virginia replied. "Not long enough
to become — friends."
Martha's smile was impish. "I
rather wish you weren't to marry
your Philip Lawrence," she said.
I'd like to arrange a match—that's
my one weakness. substituting for
cupid, And Jim is my favourite of-
ficer—next to the maor, of course."
Virginia laughed easily. "You
haven't a chance," she said. "I'm
terribly in love with Phil." She
looked at the older woman with
shining eyes. "Have you met Phil?
Does lie ever come here?"
"He has been here once or twice.
, .. " 'Martha's smile had vanished;
a sudden restraint had entered her
voice.
In post headquarters, Jim Ran-
dall stood with a Sharps rifle
in his hands. He was showing it to
Maj.Benson who sat, gray-haired
and bulky, behind his table -desk.
"We found five of the Sharps,"
Jim said. "All of them brand new.
Natchi boasted In his palaver that
he had many of them.".
Maj. Benson's face was frowning.
"Wall have to look into that,"
"It's niy idea," Jitn said, "that
some white man is deliberately—"
The maor cut him short, "Stuff
and nonsense, Jim! Some gun sales-
man probably found his way to
Natchi. Maybe a Mexican. We
won't worry too much about that.
We want to capture Natchi hitn-
5clf"
Jim took the rebuke. "Yes, sir.'
Maj, Benson said, "Capt. Ham-
mond is trailing Natchi. I've talked
with that gambler, Barron. You,
lieutenant, investigate that stage
holdup. Barron has lost a lot of
money .." He smiled slyly. "But
first you may escort Miss Ames to
Phil Lawrence's ranch, as you re-
quested."
"Thank you, sir!"
Jim Randall strode from head-
quarters and found Virginia atone
on the porcIt cif the Benson's quar-
ters.
•
He lighted a cigarette, the said:
"I'm going to escort you to Phil
Lawrence's ranch tomorrow." And
after a moment: "Virginia, what
reason have you for worrying about
him? What brought you Isere—if
you really have no immediate wed-
ding plans?"
She did not answer at once, but
let a silence conte and"run on. Then
finally she gave him the letter and

"A strange letter," he said. "No

Spelling Champ
1 nirte'en-year-old Kim Calvin of
Canton, Ohio, to the top young
speller in the U.S.
James Shea, also 13, from St.
Saviour School in Brooklyn, finish-
ed second in the 22nd annual ne-
810118l spelling bee,
In order to win, Kim had to spell
more than 50 words correctly --and
outspell 48 other city and regional
champions. They were sent there
by Scripps -Howard and other news-
papers from coast 10 coast,
Rim got his big chance when
James missed "dulcimer," which the
dictionary cheerfully explains is:
"A trapezoidal zither with Imetal
strings stuck by light hammers."
Apparently trapezoidal zithers are
a rarity in Brookyln, for James
tried it, "d -o -l -c -i -m -e -r."
Kim not only knew "dulcimer",
he also knew the next word that
would snake hint a champion. He
whipped right through "onerous," •
which means burdensome, oppres-
sive and troublesome to some peo-
ple—and $500 to Kim.
The champ, who wore a yellow
shirt and a confident air, is living
proof that practice pays.
He won his region last year, and
was sent to the national bee by the
Canton, Ohio, repository. He fin-
nished 12th nationally,t and might
have gone even further if he hadn't
bogged down on "obbligato."
Since then he has practiced daily.
He will save the $500 until' lie's
ready to go to college, where he
will study science,
FAIR QUESTION
The small boy had just asked
his father, "Where did I come from,
Daddy?" The boy seethed to listen
very attentively. and at the end of
the explanation, his father asked
hint, "What made you ask, son?"
The boy was playing with an air-
plane model and replied, casually,
"Oh, nothing specially, Dad, except
I heard the new boy at school say
he came from Brighton and I won-
dered where I came from."

Great Day in Life
Of A Great Queen
▪ Queen Victoria wrote in her jour-
nal, on June 20, 1897, "This event-
ful day, 1897 has opened and 2
pray God to help, and protect me
as He has thitherto dome during
these sixty long eventful years ...
God will surely help me 001 How
well i remember [this day sixty
years ago when I was called from
my bed by dear Mama to receive
the news of my accession)"'
In 1887, rulers of Europe had
come with their compliments; but
the Diamond Jubilee was to be an
F,mpire celebration, a family tri-
bute, with the premiers of the dom-
inions and colonies, troops from
Canada, Australia, South Africa,
and New Zealand, come home at
the invitation of Imperial Britain.
Thee were to be Indians and Afri-
cans and natives from Hong Kong
and Borneo, and from the many
scattered islands where the Union
Jack was flown . .
The anniversary of the Queen's
accession was a Sunday. She went
to the service in St. George's Chap-
el in the morning, sitting in the
shadowy stall, beneath iter banner,
and looking out at the memorials
of the centuries. She could see the
stall in which Samuel •Pepys had
sat on the day when be described
Windsor as "the most romantique
castle that is in the world." , . .
The dress for the great day was
"black silk, trimmed with panels of
grey satin veiled with black net
and steel embroideries, and some
black lace." Her bonnet was trim-
med "with creamy white flowers
and white aigrette and some 'black
lace." Before she drove away from
Buckingham Palace site touched an
electric button that telegraphed her
gratitude to the last edges of her
Empire. "Front my heart I thank
my beloved people, May God bless
them,.,"
The sun burst out as the carriage
left the courtyard cn its long jour-
ney to St, 'Paul's' Cathedral, by way
of the north bank of the Thames,
attd home again along the south
bank. The millions of people sang
and,bliouted as the Queen's creamy
white bonnet bowed to left''•*nd
right, There was no anger in their
world. Their glory, then' riches,
their pride and their safety were
symbolized in the little old monarch
who had ruled the land since the
days of their grandfathers. 'Few
