"1-1 am glad I am not stay- ing long." Sarah Warden's wistful eyes were on her. She seemed to be trying to give her some warning. "Steve Barron is a strange man. There is no understanding him. He has been kind to me." She smiled thinly. "He calls" me mother. I like him, but if I had a daughter-" Virginia looked at her squarely. "You are trying to tell me some- thing?" "No .... It is none of my busi- ness." Virginia laughed pleasantly. "I've conte to meet the man I am to marry," she said. "Neither Jim Randall or Steve Barron can mean anything to me, Phil Lawrence is my world, I-" She caught the older woman's sharp, startled look. "You are to marry Phil Lawrence?" ' "Yes." Virginia herself was startled. Phil's name always caused a tension in people. 'It frightened her as much as mystified her. She said, "Mrs. Warden, what is ther about Phil Lawrence that makes everyone stare? What do you know about him" Sarah Warden shook her gray head. "I know nothing about him," she said earnestly. "I do not know hint at all." "But you have heard something?" "1' have heard only that he had LAURA WHEELER A chair -set you'll enjoy making. Make the back again for scarf - ends.

It was while they were putting away the supper things that a soft knock sounded on he kitchen door. The door opened instantly, and a girt stepped in. She was laughing. Warden was not alone, her laugh- ter died abruptly away. * * * She was a dark girl, pretty and more, and site was in years no old- er than Virginia. But there was an oldness about her, and her wide brown eyes held a knowledge that had nothing to do wibh her years. Sarah Warden turned from her dishwashing. "Come in, Lanya," she said warmly. "I'm glad to see you," Then: "Miss Ames, this is Lana a Correy." Virginia smiled and murmured a greeting. The dark girl merely gave an unsmiling nod. Then Sarah War- den added, and it seemed to Vir- ginia, unnecessary. "Miss Ames has come to visit her fiance. She is to marry Phil Law- rence." Unmiotakably, surprise spread over Lanya's pretty face. She look- ed at Virginia with widened eyes. She compressed her lips, then was suddenly smiling. "I'm very glad to know you, Miss Ames," she said. Then to Sarah Warden: "I must hurry, I'll come back -tomorrow," - As she turned to go Virginia saw something that gave her a start. She said as she turned to dry the dishes, "Is she the dance hall girl?" Thelde o r woman's voice was de- fensive. - fensive, "Yes. But Lanya's a'good girl. She's just unfortunate. She sings in the dance hall, But men don't bother her, Steve Barron sees to that. He brought her from Tus- can about six months ago. and gave her a job,.." I•Ter voice trailed away, and Vir- ginia didn't ask niore. She knew enough about Lanya Correy. The girl must know many then, ... But it didn't matter, really". It didn't matter which of them gave her the cameo pin she was wearing on her rather gaudy dress, CHAPTER VII. After two clays of search for the Lannasa stage bandits, Jim Randall sent his detail of eight troopers back to the post under command of Sgt• O'Hara. He swung east to Lannasa , with Mel Scarlett, and there talked with the stage driver and guard. The information he received took him to the Lucky Dollar saloon. A certain character, Pete Saba, was letting gold dollars run through his fingers like water through a trough. And he was not the sort of hombre that usually had money. Too, he was a ringer for one of the bandit trio. Pete Saha had been drinking heavily. He was, at the bar when Jim and lilel Scarlett stepped into the saloon. He had paid for his drinks with a $10 gold piece, 0** Jim strode up to the man and said sharply, Sabal" The man turned slowly. Fear sprang alive in his eyes, then van- ished. He moistened his lips, then grinned crookedly. "Well, soldier?" "You're under arrest, Saba." "Yeah? What for?" "For holding up the Lannasa stage. Conte along, I'm taking you to Fort Winfield," Jim watched him sharply. He saw a hint of resistance in the black ' eyes which warned hien of what was to come, He was ready when Saba's hand streaked toward his gun -butt. Jim had placed himself close enough and he quickly reached out and closed his left hand over Siaba's right wrist,' His right arm lashed upward and his fist struck the outlaw on the point of the chin, Saba was filing back against the tar, and he hung there nu:diollless for a tno- inent, his face working and his eyes full of hate.

F. Benson, Jr., president of Canada Starch, who re- vealed that Mrs. Hampton's entry was chosen from over 100,000 entries. Mrs. Hampton said that when she first wrote her letter giv- ing three reasons why she likes Crown Brand Corn Syrup, she never really believed she would win. However, it provided the family with something to dream about, and the money has been spent many times over in their imaginations. However , these things are sure to be bought in aectual fact. Eleven -year-old Mary will get a bicycle; eight-year-old jimmy wants a crokinole board and checkers; Jean and Joan, five-year- old twins, will receive tricycles. Mrs. Hampton says the whole family is going to have a good holiday, at a summer cottage. ,L.r r FABLE Andt'ews. Not long ago, in a group talking of cooking and good things to eat, the word "flummery" came up, and four out of five of those present didn't know that there was such a thing. Naturally, none of them were of Welsh descent, as the word "flum- mery" . comes, originally, from Wales; but for all that, it's a des- sert that hasbeen popular with many generations on this side of the water as well. It looks like a rich, translucent jelly; is easily made, suitable for young and old, and isn't at all ex- pensive, especially for a family lucky enough to have a berry patch. So, on the ohance that some of you will be interested, here's a recipe that will serve five or nix, with BLACKBERRY FLUMMERY 2 cups blackberry juice (from cooked, fresh berries or canned berries) % cup of sugar (if juice is un- sweetened) 2 tablespoons cornstarch 34 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons lemon juice. METIIOD: heat the Kerry juice in a double boiler. Mix sugar, corn- starch and salt together, then add to the juice, stirring until the mix- ture thickens, Cover and cook for from 15 to 20 minutes, Remove from stove, add lemon juice, beat well and pour into molds or a serving dish. Cahill before serving. Flummery may be served with either whipped or plain cream. If thin cream is used, add it at the table rather than In ad- vance as the flummery is sufficient- ly tart to curdle cream that stands on it long. A more economical use of the fruit is by making this dessert of whole berries, rather than just the juice. Use two cups of cooked and crushed berries with their juice; three tablespoons of cornstarch; add sugar and lemon juice as desired. Cook over hot water, covered, for 20 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and pour into molds. ilChfll be- fore serving. * * It seems a shame that so many apples of the "windfall" variety have to go to waste - especially nowadays, when it looks as though there might be considerably less imported fruit than we are used to; . or perhaps that might better be phrased were becoming used to." So here's a recipe that makes use of apples that are the tart side, and which goes very well with many kinds of meat.

And in conclusion, may I repeat once again what I've told you be- fore, When snaking jams or jellies, when you use Certo or any com- mercial pectin, please follow the directions - not from memory - but exactly as they are plainly set out for you, Don't think _ that by doubling the given quantities, or by adding a little more of this, or that, you're going to get perfect results.
