CHAPTER 15
"Ma Russell says she got Jerks
to take her down to have a look
at the 'Sentinel' building."
"Just like her. Where's she stay
ing-at Ma Russell's?"
"Yes, I'll have to go see her
this evening and find out if there's
anything we can do for her."
"I reckon . so." Jesse groomed
over her arrival with early resent.

for her to come, with me laid up
in bed."
Phil was about fed up. "Why
shouldn't she come if she wants
to look things over?"
The man on the bed deflected
the conversation for a moment to
bimself. "What they saying about
—about the way Jud treated me?"
"I haven't heard a thing. All the
talk is about the killing of Sneve
and the rumpus, down at the 'Sen-
tinel' last night, and about Anne's
going to run the paper. The gen-
eral opinion is Sneve got what was
coming to him."
"I wish to hell It bad been Pren-
tiss as well as Sneve—and Silcott
too for that matter. He didn't lift
a hand for me when the big bully
Jumped me unexpected."
"Very likely we would all have
been killed if he bad. By the way,
Russ Mosely is in town. Saw him
'going into the Jumbo."
Jesse sat up, a startled look on
'Ills face. "What's he here for?"
"Don't know. He called on
Anne. They say he isn't backing
Jud for cutting loose his wolf. T
guess there's nothing to worry
about,"
"Easy for yon to say that," the
man on the bed snarled unhappily,
"You're not the man he's after,"
Jim Will Get His
"Russ isn't going to bother with
you now, Jesse," the younger bro-
ther said, filling the kettle from a
busiret of water,' "I don't suppose
he is very well pleased with you.

ing of Sneve, You get lost and
forgotten in the shuffle.
When Phil had dinner ready
Jesse limped to the table.
"I']1 have to get out to the
ranch tonight to look after the
stock," the boy. said, pouirng Oaf-
foe. "You can look niter yourself
new all right. If I were you, Soon
as I' could ride, I'd get nut to the

"Of course I will. Think 'in a

oath, "Someday I'm going to

"I wouldn't think too much

vised. "I3est thing is for you t0

He thought that the years h

always been magic in her for him
but she had lost the lankiness o

a poised resilience of muscles p

Phil was glad she had mentions

"It was Jesse's trouble, not

"But you know which side your

"Yes. But I don't talk about it,

She nodded, "So am I," She
changed the tabled. "Tell me
about yourself, Phil. You and Jesse

How are you doing with It?"
After the boy had gone, Anne's
mind reverted to her problem. Jim
Silcott had made it very clear
that if she opposed Russell
Mosely she would have a very dif-
fcult time. He owned the bank

Hiplines in
Headlines
Fall Drees Collections Attract
Attention to Hips In Many
Ways
Hiplines make headlines in fall
dress collections. We mean hip-
lines with details that attract the
eye, and give the impression of
a lower waistline. Pockets are
oneway of calling attention to
hips, pockets in fabric or fur, and
draped for a soft look. Peplums,
draped in soft folds, sometimes
describing a criss-cross treatment
above easily manipulated front
fullness, are other ways of at-
tracting the eye and making the
hips talking points. For young
• women who like perky fashions,
the double peplum, shallow and
flaring, is jaunty above slim
skirts. Also important in hip -in-
terest fashions are dresses with
corselets in contrasting color or
fabric, the corselet in a new posi-
tion, with the upper edge at the
waistline or slightly above, the
lower edge extending well over
the hipbone.

TABLE TALKS
By SADIE B. CHAMBERS
It's hard to realize how quickly
our lovely summer is slipping
away and the products of the
garden are marching right along.
So it seems we should be saying
something about pickling; especi-
ally am I in the mood. I have just
brought in from the garden a
heaping basket of the loveliest
gherkins, the earliest, I think, they
have ever been.
Everyone likes to have a little
dab of everything and pickled
beans have always been a univer-
sal favorite.
PICKLED BEANS
1 peck beans (beans must be
fresh and tender).
Prepare beans as for boiling,
being sure they are cut in uniform
pieces; boil for 34 hour, three
drain well,
Bring to a boil 3 quarts vine-
gar (diluted) and 3 lbs. of sugar,.
Mix in a paste with diluted
vinegar the following:
1 cup mustard.
1 cup flour,
2 tablespoons tumerio.
Add the hot vinegar and sugar
mixture a little at a time until it
is smooth and thinned out and
then stir the rest of vinegar and
sugarnin the kettle with two table-
spoons of celery seed. Stir until
thickened and smooth. Add the
beets and simmer, being careful
not to let them burn; do not boll
longer than five minutes or the
beans will become soft. Seal in
the usual way in sterile jars.
BEETS AND CABBAGE
1 quart cabbage chopped fine
(red cabbage preferable),
1 quart chopped beets.
Have ready vinegar sweetened
and seasoned. About one pint
will be sufficient for this amount.
If strong dilute, add one cup of
sugar, one tablespoon salt, one
teaspon black pepper, a dash of
cayenne, one scant cup of grated
horseradish. Allow this vinegar
mixture to cool and then pour over
chopped beets and cabbage, which
can either be in sealers or a crock.
This will keep well,
PICKLED BEETS
Boil small beets of uniform
size, after washing and leaving on
about one -inch stem, Boil until
skins rub off readily. Place in
sealers and cover with sweetened
sugar (this should be according to
the family's taste some like real
sweet, others tart.) Pour the boil-
ing vinegar over beets; you may
add a stick or two of cinnamon
and a little cloves, I prefer to
dilute the vinegar, make them
sweet, To insure keeping and
give an extra flavor place in
steamer for 20 minutes, being
sure to leave the tops loose as in
canning fruit.
Pickled Onions
Peel small white onions, cover
with brine, allowing I1, cups salt
to 2 quarts boiling water and allow
to stand two days; drain and cover
with more brine; let stand two
days and again drain. Make more
brine and heat to boiling point;
place in onions and boil three min-
utes. Place in jars interspersing.
with bits of mace and bay leaf,
el+ves and slices of red pepper.
P111 jars to overflowing with vine-
gar scalded with sugar, allowing 3
cups sugar to one gallon of vinegar.

3 teaspoons cinnamon

The Chic Woman
Is Well Groomed
Well -Dressed Woman Cares
For Her Clothes Alt The
Time
You can tell at a glance how
chic any woman is simply by look-
ing at her shoes, hat, bag and
gloves.
The smart woman's hat, how-
ever plain and simple, has a fresh
look about it, The ribbon band
is crisp, the felt absolutely free
from dust. It's obvious that she
always brushes it inside and out,
before she puts it on.
Her leather shoes are shining.
Her suede ones never look dull
from dust. It's apparent that she
has leather lifts replaced often
and that she puts trees in her
shoes the minute she takes them
off,
IMMACULATE GROOMING
Her bag never is an over-
stuffed, shapeless affair. She
takes everything out of it once
a week and puts back only what
is necessary.
She washes white or light beige
gloves after each wearing.
She treats costume jewelry as
she would genuine gems, keeping
each piece in its own little cotton -
lined box or else putting every-
thing in a roomy jewel case.
Hence. her bracelets, clips and
pins never are scratched nor the
stones loosened.
Furthermore, her white blouses
and white neckwear always are
spit and span. She knows that
immaculate grooming is the
foundation of chic.
