TSA CHAPTER S6 Jim did not see Anne while he was in the hospital, lie under - I stood the reason why she did not gome but sent by Henrietta a 3itdle cluster of roses. "With her love," Mrs. Windom ✓ aid. He looked at her sceptically. "Weren't you ever taught to tell *rhe truth?" Her blue eyes danced. "Well, she meant it if she didn't say it," Silcott wondered about that. He hoped so. Just now her mind ;Was preoccupied with the memory of the man whose name she had , $atken. There had been no hap- inoss for her in the marriage. 1t had been the silly miatal"te of a girl who had let her judgment 11e swayed too much by moon- light and romance. But he was dead, and the decent proprieties wast be observed. Months must pass before she and Jim could chow any interest in each other. Whatever thought and emotione they might have must be hidden in their hearts. "Has she gone back to Blan- Varied Sizes Given '&y ifetn %heist Here's your chance to own a beautiful heirloom.

She and his brother Phil decided to bury him there. Phil is a nice boy." "Yes. Anything new about the tend?" "N"o. I don't think there is one any more. The Ganders let- ters will decide the case. So everybody says. And nobody wants to push the fight against the settlers now. Rufe says the Hat T hands will drift away and look for other jabs, at least all of them who have been mixed up in any of Mosely's meanness." "I reckon so. A sister of Mose- ly lives at Colorado Springs, 1 believe. She will prboably sell out. The Hat T will likely be broken up into smaller ranches." A Good Guess His guess was a good one. There was quite an influx of new settlers in the Powder Horn. The political group whit under the leadership of Russell Mosely had dominated the county fell apart and new alignments were made. The most influential leader of the group in control was Silcott. He had been the fight to challenge the dictatorship of the Hat T, and almost single handed, except for the constant help of one young woman, had broken the strangle- hold of Mosely on the district. Since he wanted nothing for him- self his views held more weight with the people. The "Sentinel supported strongly those standing for the abolition of graft and the return of power to the voters. During those months, though Anne and Jini were working for the same cause, they saw very little of each other, and then al- ways' in the company of others. Sometimes she wondered if his interest in her had flickered out. Men were that way, she reminded herself. They took fancies to new girls until the novelty had worn off. Meanwhile Anne was busy, as Rafe put it. "Collecting broth- ers." She received proposals without the slightest warning. A good-looking cowboy would drop into the office, hang around for a while, remind her that they had met at a church social, and ask her to share his indigence. This; was a man's country, and attrac- tive young women were scarce. But unfortunately for these im- petuous suitors Anne had decided exactly whom she was going to marry—if she ever did marry, Springtime It was in early spring that Jim carie into the office of the "Sen. tinel" waving a telegram jubil- antly. Anne was busy, hen sleeves rolled up to the elbows, for the paper was going td press 111 0 few. minutes,' "illessage from Stratton,"; S.il colt told her. "The case has been decided in our favor. You'll have to rip up the front page and get the good news in it." • Anne's• eyes lit up. She gave him a firer ink -stained hand to shake. "Congratulations, Mr. Sil- cott," , "Mr. Silcott?" he• queried, "Since when?" Since you have beeeine a stranger to Inc," she said lightly. "Oh, I don't 11110 that," he pro- tested, flushing: "I've been awe fully busy, but I don't want to be a stranger." Her cliaelts took on a color to match his, "Fine. If you aren't a stranger you had better get to work. We have a lot to do and haven't much time, I'll push the blizzard' story to an inside page and make a spread of this. Sit down at the desk and write the lead. Follow it up with a history of the whole fight from the be- ginning. I can give you two col- umns. Let yourselll go. 1t will be the biggest story of the year," Grinning, Jim took off his coat, sat down, and reached for copy paper. His embarrassment had vanished. This was like old times. "You sound like a blunt -boiled editor," he said. "And I can re- member when 1 did the bossing in this office." They worked until late at night, After the forms were locked up they went together to an all-night Chinese restaurant and ate a de- layed meal. Both were hungry, and they had ham and eggs, bis- cuits, apple pie, and coffee, A Celebration He walked back with her to her boarding house in the moonlight, and the comradeship that had been renewed as they• worked to- gether gave place to shyness, He had a. great deal to say, but it was all dammed up in him. At the gate he found no words but a stiff "Good night." She echoed the words and turn- ed to go down the path to the house. Her loveliness knocked at his heart. He could not let her go like that, "Wait!" he cried. "Let's walk up Round Top." Anne made no answer in words but came back at once to join him. Together they climbed the hill and looked down on the few late lights of the little town. Un- til they had reached the summit they had filled with commonplace silences that threatened to grow too significant. Now again speech failed them. .And suddenly the dam broke. "Do you -remember that first night you came here?" he asked. "Yes," she said, and did not. add what was in her mind that life then had begun for her, "I fell in love that night, though I did not know it at once," he continued. "I had never been in love before." "You mean—with me, Jim?" .Anne replied, and . knew . the sunswer—knew it by the drums of joy beating in her blood. "Of course. It could not ever have been anybody but you." "Pve felt that so long about you," she murmured. There were a million stars shin- ing down on them. " "All of them out to celebrate 'with us," Jim told Anne ten min- utes later. - THE END - The Courtship of, Andy Hardy Adapted from the Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer Picture starring Mickey Rooney. Beginning Next Week British Columbia Mercury ercury Mercury deposits discovered in 1937 in the Pinchi Lake area of northern British Columbia by a Dominion . Government Geological Survey party have made Canada an important producer of this metal, reports the apartment of Mines and Resources. Prior to this discovery, little mercury was produced in Canada, but now production from the Pin - chi Lake deposits is considerably in excess of Canadian require- ments, and supplies the United Kingdom with a large share of its needs, which before the war were obtained mainly from Italy. Production was started in June, 1940, and, as the' metal has im- portant war uses, further geol- ogical work was carried out in the Pinchi Lake area during the cununer of 1991 Mercury is used for the most part in electrical instruments and apparatus and In the manufacture of various drugs and chemicals. In the form of the oxide it is used in large quantities for anti- fouling paint for ship bottoms. Mercury is employed also in spew Tally, designed boilers to replace steam in the proclucton of'powee. Chief Imports Textiles, , motor chassis and parts, machinery and metal manta fabtnret's, petroleum products, pa- per and paper products were tine chief imports into Australia be- fore the war.

Apple Snow' Does the frequency of the phrase, "Serve with whipped cream," in recipes ever dismay you a bit in these' days of rising prices? There is an old familiar recipe which, used as "ersato" whipped cream, will fulfill the require- ments of a garnish in looks and taste, says Ii. S. F. in The Chris- tian Science Monitor. Yet it Is Inexpensive, and a delight to the cook, because it can be stored in the refrigerator for days. The answer is Apple Snow, well known to many cooks as a guide,. easy icing for cakes. Try it new on your favorite puddings, tapioca, butterscotch, chocolate; on gin- gerbread; cottage pudding,., and sliced fruits, and see if the family isn't delighted to meet this old friend in anew role! Beat the white of one egg with stiff, but not dry. Add 1 cup (I'm using only 2/3 cup these days) sugar, gradually, beating all the while. • When perfectly blended, add one large apple, which you 'have scraped to the core on a grater, putting in a little ata time, and .still beating constantly. If it is not very stiff, you should add more grated apple until It is Don't be alarmed if the apple terns brown as you grate it, for it will turn white as snow again, like magic, when mixed, You will be amazed at the quantity, if you are making it for the first time, Store it in a tightly covered bowl Port Of Colombo Island Of Ceylon Ranks About Seventh Among Great Ports of The World The first key to the Indian Ocean is the port of Colombo, Ceylon, which is the natural clearing house for the commerce of five continents, C. E. Elliott writes in Asia Magazine. In peacetime, Colombo ranks about seventh among the great ports of the world. The harbor, protected by three breakwaters, is 850 acres in extent; has two modern' drydoelcs and excellent facilities for world wide shippingt with engineering (hops close to the docks. Some years ago, the government constructed immense workshops at Dehiweltl, near Col- ombo, far in excess of its binned - ALL -BRAN REALLY IS DELICIOUS AND IT KEEPS US REGULAR.

The port is well de- fended, for the billy suburb of hiutwai rises around and above the docks, and is heavily fortified with big guns. There is ample apace to enlarge the present air- drome, and doubtless other air- fields have been constructed. The second key to the Indian Ocean is the naval port of Trinc- omalee.,Trinco-as it is univer- sally caled—is normally a small town of some 10,000 people. It has a magnificent inner harbor, landlocked and covering four square miles. There is ample water all round, in many places close in.•shore. In former days, Trincomalee .was bitterly contend- ed for by the Portuguese, Ditch, French and British, and' was fin- ally captured from the Dutch in 1795 and ceded to the British in 1802. Ever since, It has been the naval base of the East 'Indies squadron, under anadmiral, working in with the Royal Indian Navy. This latter force is man- ned almost entirely by Indians, with a sprinkling of B•eitish offi- cers. The sailors are mostly re- cruited from up -country tribes around Bombay. War Brings New Customs In Food Two examples of changing ren- ditions in the food markets have caught my eye during the last few days, weitos "Polycritic" in an English paper. One is the num- ber of home -meat shops springing up everywhere; there are two within a' few yards of one an- other in a well known Solio street. The horse treat 18 "for human consumption only", and costs a shilling for the best cuts, The other example was more pictur- esque. Ili a small butcher's shop facing Smithfield Market, T saw a swan hanging head down, in all its plumage. The price was one pound, You buy the whole bird or nit at all. British Craftsmen Return To Benches Craftsmen' who matte beauti- fully worked diamond brooches, bracelets and othor examples of fine jewelry for the court of Queen Victoria are among these who have 00111e back from retire- ment to their bunches in Lindon workshops to add their skill to Britain's war effort, says British Industries Bulletin, They are now fashioning deli- cate parts for airplanes, tanks, ships, torpedoes and bombs, as well as surgical and precision in- struments Some of them are as old as eighty; in one workshop alone there are as many as thirty .ex- pert craftsmen between the ages of sixty and eighty. At least one principal has returned from re- tirement with the others; He is R. C. Antrobus, who organized the jewelry trade for war work in the last war. It was Antrobus wlro, in 1930, offered 240,000 for the faniots• Napoleon necklace which the Em- peror Napoleon I presented to the Empress' Marie Louise on the .. birth of their son, the King of Rome, in 1811. gaiyes FNE CUT Located on Big Hill Creek, Cochrane, Alberta, the Oxyoke Ranch founded in 1887 im- mediately following the Riel Rebellion, Is still maintained by W, Hutchinson, one of the founders.
