Going to Intel water Inn grove near the house. Virginia 1s seized by Apaches. CHAPTER XI A woman entered the hut bear- ing two earthen bowls. Virginia sat up and watched the woman with frightened eyes. The bowls were placed before her, and the woman stepped back to stand watching her with dark, curious eyes. Behind the squat form, at the jacal's opening, crowded a group of bright-eyed children. Virginia looked at the bowls. One contained water. She lifted it and drank. The other held a pasty food made of ground mesquite bean. She did not touch that. Shortly, two men entered. One was short, wiry, his skin not white, not copper. His coarse features, flat nose and impassive expression sug- gested Apache. But his eyes were light in color, a bright blue. He was a half breed. He wore mixed apparel; shirt,- trousers, both incred- ibly dirty, and moccasins and a red headband to hold back his stringy black hair. He squatted down be- fore Virginia. The second visitor was Natchi. Virginia remembered his broad, fiat -featured face, his natural air of dignity, his cruel brown eyes, his wolfish lips. Natchi, the marauder, who had attempted to capture Jim Randall, whom he hated. Natchi sat down cross-legged and regarded the white girl with glit- tering eyes. He remained as still Here's a dashing little 1 umber for all your dashing about! Sharp cuffs, tucks, pockets on a tiny - waisted, full -skirted dress. Gay doodad at shoulder is a fake mono- gram.

ISSUE 42 -- 1949 as a statue for the' whole of five minutes. Then he spoke gravely, his eyes dropping to the turned -up toes of his moccasins. His words were quick, loose, without coherence for Virginia. But when he finished, the half breed interpreted. "Natchi say White woman stay here, No harm. Maybe day come you go back to white husband." "Why was I brought here?" Vir- ginia asked; courage returned with a rush. She would come to no harm, Natchi had said. "You wife of white soldier with blue eyes, Natchi say. White sol- dier capture Natchi's son. Natchi capture soldier's wife. White soldier value wife much. Like Natchi value son." Virginia's new - found courage vanished. They thought her Jim Randall's wife. They meant to hold her as a hostage -to force the re- lease of Natchi's imprisoned son. Despair rose in her. Site said, "You are wrong. 1 am not the soldier's wife." The blue-eyed man interpreted for the Apache. When the exchange of words ended between the two, the half breed said: "Warrior saw you with soldier. On desert beyond town. Soldier have you in arms. You wife, all right." * * * Virginia witted. There was no argument for her. She had been in Jim's arms that night the Indian had spied upon them. She looked at Natchi's stoic face, and -said: "You think the soldier will come for me?" "And when he does -what?" "He come," she was told. There was another guttural ex- change of words. Then: "Soldier free Natchi's son -or you go south." The breed gestured, "Mexico, No come back." Fear and dismay froze her tongue. She watched the Apache thief rise and end the interview. The two men turned out of the hut, leaving her alone wih the squaw who sat at the opening. Jim Randall crossed the parade at Fort Winfield with a long stride, The orderly had said Maj. Benson wanted to see him in a hurry. There was a dust -begrimed, lathered horse standing before the command- ing officer's quarters. Jim stepped into the dobe and saw Lanya Correy with Benson. The girl's riding clothes were dusty. Her eyes looked tired; her face was pale. She was twisting her hands together nervously. Maj. Benson wore a troubled look, He was saying to the girl, "You're sure they were Apaches?"

Ar, _NtEI' "Dear Anne Hirst: If one fault were cleared up, we would be the happiest couple on earth. I'm 17, and married to a ' fine. young man. He has been extraordi- narily good to me, and since he learned we are soon to have a baby,he has been very understanding. Bbt-- "He has no sense of responsibility. He hasn't provided a cent toward the baby's coming. All I get is promises) He is the type who will treat iiia friends to cocktails when he hasn't five dollars to his name.
