The Syrup with the Delicious Flavour TRAILS OD r 1'y WILLIAM M �; OD!ZAINE.;• CHAPTER 39 IMPORTANT DOCUMENT "It is important that I get an honest translator and one who understands. both.. Spanish and English thoroughly," Anne told Henrietta. "There is a chance that Don Jose -or his wife in their letters may say something about his land grant. I am going to sit there while they are being translated, to make sure none of them are taken." It turned out that Lieutenant Windom knew an old gentleman named Antonio Castro who ex- actly filled these requirements. lie translated the letters,- out loud,. while Anne sat and listen- ed. In spite of the somewhat flowery language there were homely touches and flashes of emotion that wiped out the inter- vening years. This was especially true of the letters sent by Donna Maria to her husband. It was ae if she had written them yes- terday. Her bones had been at since long before Anne had be - born, . but. the sweetness, Piet and love of this Spanish lady s' od out from those faded pages with startling vividness. The 1 tters of Don Jose were brusque] masculine. They were objective dealt with affairs local and; national. Most of them held or q"!ierre to be given some of the n tnerous subordinates who were.,anagers or foremen of his ran �"Les. A paragraph of one brottight Anne to sharp attention. Itread: ieAnne Sent for. Jim "In answer to the question 'i raised bySenor Torres, you may tell him that he has no need of a /I paper from me to make his title valid. As you know, I have re- ' iinquished the great grant' to me His Majesty for service ren- dered s Y J Y dered in the wars. I have snore land than I can use — more than any of our sons will need as a range for their cattle. The grant is an agricultural one, and I have no mind to turn farmer in my old age. Nor is the land fit for anything except as a range for stock. Have Miguel explain to. Senor Torres that.by not com- .- plying with the conditions of the grant I am releasing it back to the IMV!' .Anne had Castro read the par- agraph a second time, and once ..again, slowly, while she wrote it' in English word ;For word. There could be no doubt of the effect of this plain statement on the land-grant claims. In his own handwriting old Don Tose had written 'that• he no longer held a valid claim to the estate. All that was necessary would be to prove the authenticity of the handwrit- ing in court. This ought to be . easy, .since the Don had left his hold- stiff signature on fifty let- ters and documents.

ISSUE 4—'42 A Jim Silcott and asked him to come to Santa Fe by the first stage, The reason she gave was that she had run across a letter written by Don Jose Gandara which seam- ed to her to have a vital bearing on the land-grant case. Jim Silcott proposed that. Anne join him in an immediate visit to D. L. Stratton, the lawyer in chargeof the legal fight in be- half of the Armijo claimants. "I believe this letter will win our case for us," he told her ju- bilantly, "It conforms in the Don's own words the claim we have al- ways made, that he not only slept on his rights but actually relin- quished them," A warm glow poured through her, "I do hope so. We ought to win with this, if there is any justice in .the courts." "I think we'll get fair play," Jim said. "Mosely doesn't control the United States courts. Of course technicalities sometimes decide suits. But this letter cer- tainly helps us a lot." Through :the marrow streets they walked side by side to the office of the lawyer, -which was in a low adobe building a• stone's throw from the plaza. Jim liked the way Anne walked, with ease and grace, shoulders and hips in a straight vertical line, back flat, breasts firm. There was a breath of wind blowing, and as her long legs proved rhythmically the skirt of her dress clung to and' modelled the knees and swelling thighs. a disappointed Anne was d pp ntod at the coolness with which Stratton re- ceived the naive of the letter. He showed interest but very little en- thusiasm. The lawyer was a neat little man immaculateIy dressed. d . He wore a long black mustache, 'perhaps to make upfor the thin- ness of the hair which was care- fully draped in long strands over the bald head. Before speaking he seemed to weigh and measure his words. ; Doubt Arises "The letter may be quite useful if admitted as evidence," he ad- mitted guardedly. Anne would have no such tepid . reception of her discovery. - "I should think"it would blow up. Mr. Mosley's case. Don Jose admits it is not his land. He says he does not want it and that he, is not taking it." Hotly she concluded, "He couldn't have put it 'stronger, could he? What more would' the court want?". Stratton,smiled. "My dear young -lad, Mr. Mosley's law yers ..WIS not. read this letter as you do. If it is admitted aa' evi- deuce, they will contend that this was written iii a mood which his later actions' show 'Was not his; Settled intent,_ They will tako'hiet own words, ''By "not complying with the conditions of the grant I am releasing it back to • the King,' and' try to show .that, ;he negatived this by later comply- ing With 'the conditions. • Still, the letter will undoubtedly great-. ly help our case, if we can .get it admitted as evidence."' "Why can't we get it admit- ted?

C,'s esti. mated 22,000,000 acres of fir, spruce and other Species, the seeds ar'e considered essential to Britain even in warthne. They make the perilous Atlantic crossing in the holds of convoyed ships and none have been lost so far, In Britain they are planted beside millins of other seedlings of B.0, origin already thriving in Engelnd,' Scotland and Wales. Even' the hills of Ireland are abundant With trees from the forests of this western province. 'Phe oversew planting is a con- tinuation of .a reforestation plan begun by the British forestry com- mission 20 years ago to supply Bri- tain with secondary timber far pit props and other such uses. The man who prepares and sends the seed from here is Charles Molray den, one-time district inspector for British Columbia in the Dominion forestay branch for whom he for- merly handled the seed, In 103? he left the forest service and took over the shipping as a pri- vate enterprise and since has sent B.

Bradford . Washburn, head of • the Now England Museum of Na- tural History,: said in an inter- view that he thought it was pos- sible for bombers to blast Tokio by swerving from the direct course between the nearest land points en route from Alaska to Russia, The route he visioned wduld be approximately 1,000, miles short- er than flights from Hawaii to Tokio and weather conditions would not be insurmountable, ha asserted. He 'said that the bombing of Japanese cities by Alaskan -based planes wopld beevenmore prac- tical than ferrying bombers to England or shipping them across the Pacific to Russia for the ul- timate purpose of- Blasting ;fa. pan. • He pointed out that it would not be necessary for planes sur- viving attacks on Tokio from Alaskan land bases to return. They could keep right on going to Russia and confine future op- erations from bases in that ter- ritory, he contended, CHOCOLATE ALL -BRAN BARS Let your' party refreshments be simple - but inspired] Here's a pair that's both: crisp, crunchy chocolate bran bars, half candy, half mike, and a pot of piping hot, fragrant -smelling coffee.

Using Blimps For Patrolling Coast The navy has puta fleet of blimps armed with depth bombs, machine guns and cannon at work guarding the coast lines of the United States from subar- ines and prowling raiders. On the Atlantic oast thefirst squadron of six blimps has al- ready taken the air, the navy said today. They are the first of scores to be used. The navy apparently is con- vinced that patrolling airships are. among the most effective weap- ons against submarine attacks on shipping in coastal waters. Capt. C. •E. Resendahl, veteran dirig, ible commander and proponent of.. lighter-than-aircraft,calls the blimp the "dread of submarine captions" and credits it with as • important part in halting the first Great War submarine "scourge." Carrying a crew of eight, the patrol airship can hover, drift or, under power, . travel more than twine as fast as a submarine. It has been demonstrated that it ie possible to spot even deeply sub- merged submarines from a blimp under favorable conditions. If the blimp's own depth bombs don't finish it off, the spot can be marked and destroyers sum- moned.. DISLIKE WASHING DIRTY use HANDKERCHIEFS? Here's freedom from your. Most unpleasant task...

Our stat- istics show our laboring men are the best fed on an average and sad, but true, that our chil- dren and housewives are the lowest nourished on an average. Many reasons are given for the findings, that such a large per, oentage of our population are not 'receiving the proper nourishment. 'Small income is only partly a reason, for many suffering from nutritional disorders are found is our wealtihy homes. Another Den- son is large families, overcrowded homes, and a poor choice of foods with budget money for that pur- pose. Please remember to use one leafy vegetable as well tie two others each day. This is a splendid time for those home-grown to- matoes, so carefully canned, and tomato juice. le using the latter as a substitute for orange juice it will take about three times tire.. amount each day to supply the untie amount of vitamins.

Of the 54 Norwegians who ar- ried two were stretcher cases. The supposition is that they ars lads who trained here and theft went to Englandwhere they were wounded in air battles over 'Get. many. The boys were careful of what they said, but one of them remarked that one of the patients had been wounded while escaping from Norway. The lads, majority of them all, blond and handsome, were from 16 to 25 years of age and had escaped by the usual hazardouo route, across the North Sea is fishing boats. Some had been picked up by British raiding par- ties to Lofoten. They say that the fame of Toronto's Little Not, way is widespread in Nazi -con- trolled Norway, and that the chief aim is to get out here to train for the final fight. In the party were a number of young, airmen who were in the. first squadron a.: rem Little Norway. MAKE THIS HEIRLOOM CLOTH FROM EASY LAURA WHEELER .
