"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. went, "This area a -hell of a time 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. but after what happened last night he has bigger fish; to fry. This is bow I size it up from what folks are saying. Jud had nt ordersto go as far as he did, His boss doesn't like to play his hand out In the open. But the'milk Is spilt now. He'll not forgot that Jlm Silcott killed Sneve. One of these days Jim will be put out of the way without any witnesses Pres ent—very Irately drygulched and his body never found. That's the talk anyhow, Well, Russ is no fool. He won't want to overplay his hand. Best thing for you that. could have happened is this kill- 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 ranch too." "Of course I will. Think 'in a fool, to .stick ar'und Here and take everybody's grins when they see mo." 1•Ie. swore a weals furion,a oath, "Someday I'm going to settle with Jud Prentiss ht full for what he ltd to me." "I wouldn't think too much about that Jesse," his brother ad- vised. "I3est thing is for you t0 forget it all soon as you can." "Not till I've fixed that damn blip's-," "She's To- Goad for You"' After Phil had washed the dishes ho tied a silk bandanna round his neck. As' be was knot. tlrrg 1t Jesse flung a sheer at .him; "So you're going to make a play tor Anne, Don't fool yourself, kid, She won't go in for cradle suatahing," Phil flushed. He had always ad. mired Anne tremendously, as a Youngster does a girl outer than himself, with ne expectation' of a, reciprocal emotion, "I reckon Yon, are right," the boy ma back„"She will have 'had enough of this fare- Ily." "Is that so?" The vanity'of Jesse drove him to bearding. "A lot you knew about it, l could toll you something that would make your eyes pep out." "You couldn't tell ane anything-, about her that would show her any. thing but the finest girl I know Phil retorted loyally, "She always far too good for you, she got a lucky break when took op with that girl in honky-tonk," Phil started for door. "Give her my love and tell h I'll be 'round one of these da the older brother called alter h "I'd be ashamed to mention yo name to her," Phil flung book.

Her war and friendly voice relieved hi immensely. It . swept away t embarrassment he felt, Girl From Home "I didn't know until an hou ago that you were here," he said "Are you all settled? Is th anything I can do for you?" "I oan't think of anything, bu If I do I'll call on you." He thought that the years h made her more lovely. There always been magic in her for him but she had lost the lankiness o her undeveloped teens and no carded her slender fullness with a poised resilience of muscles p featly synchronized, "I hear you are going to edi the 'Sentinel,' he mentioned, "I am going to try. It won' be easy on account of this land grant feud.•Everybody seems to be on one side or the other, heard about some trouble you had with one of 14 Ir, Mosely's foremen You and Jesse too." Phil was glad she had mentions his brother in a tone so matter of fact, They could hardly tai and leave his name out of the con versation without awkwardness, "It was Jesse's trouble, not mine," Phil said. "Is he on the Hat T side" "Well, he was at first. Russ Mosely employed him to do odd Jobs for him, But Jesse has, been kinda swinging round lately. That's why the Hat T men beat him up," m "Have you made up your ild which side is right?" Anne asked. "I don't know which side is right, legally," lie hedged. "But you know which side your sympathies are on." "Yes. But I don't talk about it, I'd as soon tell you. I'm for the small settlers who are fighting for their ranches against the Hat T." She nodded, "So am I," She changed the tabled. "Tell me about yourself, Phil. You and Jesse have a ranch still, haven't. you? 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.

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. ,:'Rural Women Plan Meeting Women's Institutes and Other Rural Organizations of Thls Herhispheee to.

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. Seal while hot, Chopped Pickles 4 quarts chopped green tomatoes cup salt 2 teaspoons pepper 3 teaspoons mustard 3 teaspoons cinnamon 3 teaspoons allspice S teaspoons cloves ih cup white mustard seed 4 green peppers sliced 2 chopped. onions 2 quarts vinegar. Add salt to tomatoes; cover; let stand over and then drain, Add spices to vinegar and heat to boiling point; then add toma- toes, peppers and onions; bring to boiling point and cook 15 minutes atter boiling (vela is reached, Start in bottles aid keep l0 00l dry place, eflse Chambers welconses personal lettere from Interested renders, She Is pleased to receive anggestIone on topics for her column, and is even ready to listen to your "pet peeves."

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.
