pressed ptuinfully into Virginia's
eyes. blinded hint from her sight.
It was as if he had ridden -west of
the sun.
Troopers carte and ecorted her
to their camp. A kindly officer
questioned her briefly. Food and
water were brought to her. The
twilight stole about her. Gray army
blankets were spread for her, and
as darkness came she selpt.
When she awoke under the star-
studded bo*1 of the sky. Jim Ran-
dall was bending over her, deep
worry in his blue eyes. His voice
was unsteady ast he talked to her.
"Lt, Barrett told me about Steve
Barron," he said. "The first decent
thing Barron ever did."
"i can understand hint now," Vir-
ginia said. "He told me -all,"
An uneasy expression kept play-
ing over his face. "I carte to bar-
gain with Natchi for your release,"
he said. "But Capt. Hammond,
coming up from the south, chanced
upon the Apaches and attacked.
Hammond didn't know of your cap-
ture, It was too late to correct
the blunder. Hatnmond drove the
band toward my position. I had
to attack -knowing what it would
mean to your safety-"
"I was to be taken to Mexico,"
Viriginia said flatly. "If Steve Bar-
ron hadn't come-" She broke off.
shuddering.
"We crushed Natchi's band and
took him captive," Jim went on.
"After the skirmish, I struck out
with a dozen troopers trying to find
the camp. I meant to push south
at daybreak -hunting you."
* * *
He sat beside her. Virginia lay
still, watching him. His face was
tired, his eyes lonely. He was very
sober, with no smile at all. He was
silent for a long time, thinking his
own- thoughts, his eyes on the
desert. The glare of a fire painted
his cheeks a ruddy color.
He said finally, his voice dull,
"You'll be going back to Phil Law-
rence now. He'll be waiting for you.
You're going to be happy -and I'm
glad."
She did not speak, surprised by
the solemn depth of his voice.
"There's one thing I want to say,"
he went on, "though you dont want
to hear it. It's uselessly, said, too.
You hate me, But I want you to
know . . ,' His voice trailed away.
Virginia stared at him, wide-eyed
now, from where she lay, "Yes?"
she said thickly.
"It's this," he told her• "I love
you."
A tremor went through her. Her
heart seeemed to stop, then start
again to pound furiously. She felt
the color drain from her face. Then
she remembered the last time she
had seen him, how he had held her
in his arms in the desert moon-
light -and how two hours later he
had gone to Lanya Correy. A hol-
low heaviness carne in her; entered
her voice.

"Go away," she said, "Please, go
away."
She turned her face away froth
him, She heard him rise, was aware
of him standing beside her looking
down at her, Then he was gone.
Phil Lawrence came to the little
adobe house In Santa Bonita when
Virginia sent for 111m. He came
slowly, reluctantly, limping on his
injured leg. Virginia saw him
clearly not'; he had changed, He
was not the youth she had once
known affection for. He was a
stranger,
They faced one another in the
cool shaded room, actually very
close batt seemingly a million miles
apart. Virginia's voice came sur•
prisingly steady,
"Pltil, you are in love with Lanya.
That is true, isn't it?"
"It's true, Virginia," he replied
hollowly. "I love Lanya. i've want•
ed her for so long ... even while
i kept writing letters of my love
to you. It was to Lanya that t
wrote that message that brought
you here. Steve Barron had been
annoying her. I didn't send it. it
lay forgotten. Then I must have
started a letter to vee on its re-
verse side. I left the letter to pre-
pare my dinner, Just as I was
about to eat Barror's sten tante
and drove me away. You were
puzzled over that uneaten meal.
Hank 11uldane stopped by the
ranch, found the letter, and its en-
velope. and sent it on its way. He
couldn't know the letter was un-
finished, for he can't read."

"1 understain, Phil," Virginia
said. "You were merely afraid to
tell me the truth."
"I'nt a coward, Virginia."
"Don't ever be again, Phil. Don't
ever be afraid again. Go to Lanya
now, and start over with her. Steve
Barron will never return."
He gave a bark of a laugh. "If I
do that," he said, "Jim Randall will
send me to prison for those stage
holdups. He warned me-"
"Warned you!" Virginia said
puzzled.
Yes -or rather threatened me.
I was to give up Lanya and go on
with you. He went to Lanya that
night he was camped outside of
town -and told her she had to
break with ane."
"Phil! Are you sure?"
Her eyes were shining, her cheeks
bright with color, He stared, then
nodded.
"I'm sure," he said• "It's true. He
means to look out for you."
To look out for lied Virginia's
laughter was almost hysterical.
"Oh, it's all right. Phil," she
cried. "Go to Lanya. And if Jim
Randall conies to you, tell him I
broke with you -not you with me!"

He regarded her blankly for a
moment seeming reluctant to go.
Then he turned and walked out of
the house and out of iter life.
Virginia sent her luggage on to
Lannasa the next day, for the trip
home. She followed, riding through
the bright morning with a rancher's
family who also meant to board
the Lannasa stage.
They reached Fort Winfield at
midday, and the post commander's
invitation to lunch was not to be
refused. Virginia saw Jim Randall
across the parade, but she could
not catch his eye. Then tvlyile she
was having lunch she saw him

There are two things you can

* '!'ell your husband you know
* of his philandering -after all, if
* he is so brazen as to receive let-
* ters from the girl, he can hardly
" wonder at that. Ask him where
* you have failed in being the only
* woman in his life, This may un-
* fold criticisms of you which you
* did not suspect existed and pre-
* sent a situation about which you
* can really do something.
* Or you can ignore the whole
" circumstance. Go your customary
* way. without acknowledging that
* your life has lost its meaning.
* And wait for the consequences -
* the affair dying a natural death,
* or your husband asking for a
* divorce,
t' Should he ask that, I urge you
* to refuse. And for his sake.
* Deserting a faithful wife and
* leaving children fatherless is not
* a step tot be taken on impulse.
* An affair so recently begun is
* never reason enough for a separa-
* tion; it may be a flash in the pan,
* an outcome of some change in his
* nature for which his age or his
* present mood is responsible, and
* for which you are not to blame.
* By refusing divorce now, you pro-
* tett him against dashing into
* another marriage which he might
* regret in six months.
* Tell him that if, in a year, he is
* still of the same mind, you will
0' consider it. But not until that
* time.
* Remember that so long as you
* are his wife, he cannot marry
* anyone else.
* If you had told me more about
* your life together, I could counsel
* you more definitely. You must
* choose which course seems best;
* only your daily life with your hue-
* band, and his temperament and
* your own, can determine that.
* * *
If your husband is wandering,
choose your course wisely. If you
confide your problem to Anne Hirst,
fully and frankly, she will help you.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. What does a bride do with her
engagement ring before the wed-
ding ceremony?
A. She either leaves it at home
when she departs for the church,
or she wears it on her right hand,
The wedding ring should not be
put on above the engagement ring.
* * *

* * *
Q. Should one. write "Mr. and
Mrs. Robert B. Smith" on the in-
ner envelope of a wedding invita-
tion, as It Is written on the outer

A. Just "Mr. and Mrs, Smith" ie
sufficient.
* * 4
Q. Should gifts that are brought
to a birthday party be opened by
the recipient immediately, or left
until after the party?
A. It shows more appreciation to
open each gift at once.
* * *
Q. If men are sitting near, should
a young woman offer her seat to
an old woman when on a bus or
street car?
A. If one of the men does not
offer his seat, the woman should,
It's An Idea
You don't need bridesmaids,
ushers, flowers, a ring or even a
priest if you follow the custom of
the Arecuna Indians of Brazil and
Venezuela. When a young couple
want to be wed, it's very simple.
The bride-to-be cooks a meal and
the future husband just sits down
and eats it. When the Met crumb
has gone, they are considered to be
legally harried.
All right, as long as the girl can
cook!

'LINK SCHOOL
LESSON
By Rev, Barclay Warren
"THE SUFFERING SERVANT"
Isaiah 53;1-2
Golden Text; "Surely He Has
borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows," Isaiah 53:4,
If one will read today's lesson
and then read the account of
Christ's passion and death in
Matthew, Mark, Luke or Johan, he
cannot help but be amazed at the
accuracy of Isaiah's picture. How
did he know, centuries before, of
the manner and significance of
Messiahs sufferings? There is only
one answer; Divine revelation.
The law said, "He that is hanged
is accursed of God." Deut. 21;23.
Here is Jesus Christ, God's Son,
bearing in Himself your sins and
ury sins. 1t helps to bring this Mat-
ter nearer to our hearts if we read
it, using the singular pronouns, ex.,
"He was wounded for my trans-
gressions, He was bruised for my
iniquities; the chastisement of my
peace was upon Hila. and with His
stripes I ant healed,"
The cross that was 01175 the sym-
bol of shame has become the sign
of glory. Here God shoved I-1is
unspeakable love for us. Through
this offering once made, all who
will may find forgiveness and
cleansing for their sins. 'Tis not
the cross we worship, but bhe
Christ of the cross,
"The Christ of the erose is the
theme of my song;
The wonderful Christ of the cross.
He atonement has made, He my
ransom has paid,
So I'll praise Hint, the Christ of
the cross."
In Independence, Mo., a defend-
ant was charged with selling a cow
to a farmer for $150, then stealing
it from the buyer and reselling it
to a packing house.
