CHAPTER V
The Arizona moon rose over the
distant hills, big and round and red.
A detail of calvary caste through
the wide gateway and rode across
the parade ground. Lights .glowed
behind the windows of barracks and
officers' quarters. The army post
bustled.
Virginia's glance came hack to
Jim Randall. He sat on the edge
of the Bensons' porch, close to her
chair, idly smoking his cigarette.
He was watching the troopers ride
across the field. He had looked
everywhere but at her, during these
past few minutes of silence. The
deliberate way he avoided her eyes
convinced her that she was right in
believing he lied,
Virginia said filially, "Is that the
truth, Jim?"
His eyes carne to her. "The
truth," he said. "Phil Lawrence and
Steve Barron quarreled over the
ambling table in Barron's place in
aanta Bonita. OE course, I may be
wrong, I'm repeating gossip.
She considered him
then said, "Why does
Phil's name make
strangely?"
"Does it?"
"You keow it does,"
"Really, Virginia, I
Imagine-"
"No!" Her voice was a little high.
"I don't imagine it. It's real -a def-
inite change in their manner, I no-
ticed it in you, and in Martha Ben-
son. And last night I overheard you

"Perhaps, he said slowly, "we
were talking of someone else."
She shook her head definitely,
"You weren't. You talked of Phil
and me. Jim, why aren't you honest
with me?"
He laughed shortly, and his cig-
arette made a shower of sparks as
he flipped it away. He rose and
faced her.
Tomorrow I'm taking you to
Phil Lawrence" he told her, "You
can ask him all these questions."
She rose and stood before him,
hating him for the past and loving
him a tittle because of it, too. He
was tall and handsome, his smile
giving him a world of charm. His
nearness suddenly disconcerted her,
and she breathed a silent prayer for
her love for Phil. She didn't want
to make a fool of herself over this
man again.
* * *
"I shall be glad for tomorrow,"
she said. "Good night, Jim. . ."
And she turned toward the door.
"Virginia..
His tone held her, brought her
facing him again. She wished he
wouldn't say her name just like that.
She waited silently.
He said, "Every time we talk it's
of Phil Lawrence. Sometimes I
don't like that at all,"
"I'm sorry I bore you."
His words came, a low whisper.
"You don't bore me," he said. "On
the contrary-"
He reached for her hands, and his
touch made them tremble. Virginia
felt as she had when he walked into
the hotel lobby at Lannasa, all her
strength leaving her. She possessed
no will to resist him, and alien his
hands went to her shoulders and
drew her to him she was pliant as
clay to be molded by his hands. Her
hands went to his chest, but with
no pressure in her arms to keep
their bodies apart? He held her
roughly against him, and she
trembled while he kissed her.
In the moment it took, her weak-
ness went and her will became her
own again. And the shame she felt
drew the color from her face. She
blamed herself more than him, for
that was his way, and there should
be nothing in her to want his kisses.
She drew away from him and could
breathe again, but not in the same
calm way.
"That's so very tike you," she
said heavily. "So very like you."
"I'm sorry, Virginia."
She looked at him wretchedly.
"Can't you see I've changed?"
"You've grown lovelier, more de-
sirable, I see that."
"I -Oh, Jim, I don't want that."
"I'm sorry," he said again. He
turned, stepped down from the
porch and strode away toward head-
quarters.
Virginia dared not entertthe house
and face Martha Benson's sharp and
knowing eyes. For Martha was al-
teady saying from within;
"Was that Jim Randall, Virginia?"
Through the distant gateway
eaute a rider. Virginia knew at onee
that it was Steve Barron. He had a
stiff but easy way of sitting on a
horse that marked him from other
men. He dismounted a little way off
and came to the house on foot. He
was stilt dressed for the trail, coat -
less, his trousers thrust into cowboy
boots, a gun belt about his slim
middle. He swept off his sombrero
and came smilingly onto the porch.
"I've come to say adios, Virginia,"
he said "That is, unless there is
sone favor I can do."
"There Is a favor, Steve," she
told him. "If you will."
"Anything." The way he said it
Was Meant to convince her; there
was eagerness in his voice, "What
would you have me do? Attack
Natchi's band singlehanded? Or
bring you silver from the hilts -t"
"You're laughing at Inc." she said.
'"I thought you meant what you
said,"
1 do mean what I said. I'm try-
ing
rying to say in a roundabout way that,
I would do anything you asked"
"Steve, you're melodramatic!"
He laughed. "My mother was
Mexican. Her father true Spanish.
The Spanish, I'm told, are very gal-
lant toward beautiful ladies."
"Now you flatter Inc."
He shook his head in denial, "1
think you are very beautiful,
senorita. But the favor, Virginia?"
"It is not very much," she said.
"Tell me about your quarrel with
my fiance, Phil Lawrence."
"So you heard? Did Lt. Randall
-of course lie did. Well, we did
quarrel, Virginia. Your Phil has a
passion for gambling. And I am a
gambler. We played poker, and his
luck wasn't running. He lost, After-
ward, he drank a lot. He accused
me of being crooked."
"Yes?" Virginia said thinly.
"What then?"
"That is all," Steve said, "Phil
Lawrence threatened to even nat-
ters with me. I had to protect my-
self. I had my men see hint out of
town. That is all. Our quarrel did
not develop into gunplay."

A Guy's Best Friend Is His Mom -Neither presence of humans
or bars of a cage keep a certain Mrs. Robin from feeding her
baby his formula on schedule. This baby bird (arrow) was
rescued from a cat by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Eva, Jr., christened
Lucky and housed in an old bird cage to recuperate. Every 15
minutes, from 6 a.m. to 6,30 p.m., the mother bird flies from her
nest behind the Eva garage, through the open dining -room
window, with a beak full of robin baby food for her young one.

MY BOY friend and I have been
engaged for over a year, and intend-
ed marrying this summer, (We are
both 20), But he
has had bad
luck, and now it
looks like an-
other year must
pass before he
can afford to
support a wife.
I just can't
face it!"
"We are plan-
ning now to slip over to the next
town and get married without
telling anybody. Then it will be
too late for them to stake us wait
any longer, I will stay at my home,
and with his faniily - but at
least we will know we belong to
each other.
"We all get along fine. His
family are wonderful to ate, and
my mother and father think he's
splendid. We hate to do anything
deceitful - but anything could hap-
pen in a year!
"Aren't you on our side? 1 prom-
ised him I'd ask you first, •
Impatient.
* I HOPE you two itnpetuous
* youngsters will give this more
* thought, and not betray the par-
* ents who trust you.
* Until you are parents your-
* selves, you cannot know how you
* would hurt your own if you
* sneaked off for a secret marriage.
* You are their only daughter. They
* have brought you up with loving
* wisdom, and, I hope, the proper
* idea of the sanctity of marriage.
* Yet, because you feel you can-
* not wait longer, you would fore-
* go the solemn dignity that be-
* long'1ek to marriage, and make your
* vows without the blessing of those
* who love you most,
* Marriage does not mean only
* belonging to each other. It means
4' the establishment of a separate
* home by two people who are
* ready to assume its responsibili-
* ties - who regard 1tt'as the most
* vital step they will ever take, and
* who want to take it under the
* most favorable circumstances.
* You are not showing that you
* are worthy of it, when youcon-
* sider making it a fly-by-night
* escapade.
* Every girl dreams of being
* married in her church, or at home,
* with her family and her friends
* to wish tier well, She sees her-
* self radiant in her wedding array,
* her father giving her away to the
* man she loves, and the minister
* of her church giving them his
* blessing. Site walks down the
* aisle with her new husband, im-
* pressed with the solemn vows site
* has made, and a prayer in her
* heart that she will be able to live
* up to thenl,
* You two would take these
* solemn vows under the eyes of
* a justice of the peace you had
* never teen before, or a sleepy
* minieter who mumblsa his words
* in/ a little ,parlor in a arrange
* house.)
* Can you really believe that
* either you or your husband would
* regard your vows with true re-
* t(gious sanctity?
THAT'S DIFFERENT
Kind lady: My good man, are
you looking for work?
Wayfarers I hope, madame, you
will not press that qurstioli; What
1 alnl let 101,1,higlot' is a job.
e
* I think you would be ashamed
* of such an act for the rest of your
* lives,
* Show the stuff you're made of.
* Practice patience, and faith. And
* look forward to the day when
* you will be able to make your
* vows publicly, proudly, yet hum-
* bly, and in a spin's of true dedi-
* cation.
If you're in love and tempted to
run off and marry, don't. Many a
husband has stayed true and fine
because he remembers the solem-
nity of his wedding day. Anne Hirst

UNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
By Rev. A. Barclay Warren
Pilgrim Marching Songs
Psalm; 122; 134
Golden Text - I was glad when
they said unto me, "Let us go into
the House of the Lord." Psalm
122:1. i»
Each of bhe Psalms of this group,
120-134, is entitled "A Song of De-
grees," or in the Revised Version,
"A Song of Ascents." They were
sung as the people "went up" to
Jerusalem for the annual feasts. In-
ternal evidence favors the view that
they were .written in the period
when the Jews under Nehemiah
were, in the very face of the
enemy, repairing the walls of
Jerusalem. The workmen probably
sang them as they went up upon
the walls.
Psalm 121 is the one of the group
most frequently used today. It is
a dialogue. The worshipper speaks:
"I will lift uo thine eyes -my help
cometh." The ministering priest
replies, "He will not suffer thy,foot
to be moved." Psalm 124 has been
sung through the years- by the Jews
at the Feast of Purim, to commem-
orate the escape from the. general
massacre intended by Haman when
he was prime minister of Persia.
Psalm 125 has to do with the op-
position given the Jews during the
rebuilding of the walls of Jerusa-
lem. Psalm 126 expressed the
surprise that carne when Cyrus
gave liberty to the Jews to return
to their own land. The last song is
sung as the pilgrims are going
Ronde. It is early in the morning.
As soon as they are outside the
gates, they see bhe guards upon the
temple walls and the !amps shining
from the windows of the chamber's
w,hiolt surround bhe sanctuary;
therefore, moved by She sight, they
nitant a farewell to the perpetual
attendance upon the holy shrine.
Their parting' exhortatioh arouses
the priests to pronounce upon thetn
a blessing out of the holy places,
You must reed bhe Psalms a a
group to appreciate their beauty.
lboligion formed elle very core of
Jewish national life, The character
of
* nation is displayed by bile
WOKS they sing. Compare these
Nellie with many of the modern
sensual songs and you eau readily
believe that many Canadians have
forgotten God and the church, The
spirit of devotion and grelititcle
