NAILS END by WILLIAM MAeL.EOI RAINE CHAPTER 31 Anne Learns The Truth Since she was now a newspaper woman, Anne did not rest content with that tame explanation. .She asked questions and learned the frets. "He'll try again, won't he?" she said. "We don't think so," Over- street replied. "He knows now we ate on our guard." "Mr. Mosely doesn't look to me like the kind of man who will give up because of one defeat," Anne persisted. "Probably he'll try something else next time," Silcott contri- buted lightly, then diverted the conversation in another direction. "It is pleasant to see you here in the Tincup country, Miss Eliot. We hope you find the scenery all we promised." "Yes, it's line," she said auto- matically, her mind not on the answer. She was thinking of Russell Mosely as she had seen him two hours earlier, a lean strong and ruthless, intent on driving to his ends without regard to others' rights or the difficulties in the way. These men were trying to cry- down the danger because she was a woman and must not be alarmed. She was not going to be fubbed off. As well as they did, She knew that the Hat T boss would be furious at this setback and would not rest until he had regained his prestige. Apparently she dropped the matter from her mind. But she contrived to have Rufe Jenks. Ride clown with the Overstreets to their ranch on the pretext that she wanted to see the dam, Jim would escort her there Iater. Rufus took the hint and departed. Pesky Kennedy was to stay at the Dia- mond Slash. It was not until they reached the dam that Anne moved to the attack. "It's a little humiliating after 1 told you I didn't need your help any longer, Jim," she said. "But I don't know enough yet to bring out the paper alone. I can see Pm going to get all worried and disturbed about it, because I do so want to make a success of the job. I want you to give an- other month to teaching me. Of course that's asking a great deal of you. I know that." A whimsical quirk twisted Sil- cott's lips. "Now I wonder what this song and dance means," he mused aloud, "Two --three days ago she was quite sure she could get along without me, and she was eager to try her hand alone. But now it's the other way. With- out my advice she is sunk. There's a nigger in this woodpile, Jim, Watcb out." "Can't I change my mind when I find I was wrong?" she demand- ed. "You can and you have, but not because you think you need me so much. I reckon it's Mosely that's on your mind. You still feel responsible for not letting him get me. Just to put you at ease, I'll mention that I don't intend to let him rub me out." "How can you help it when you ride around the country unpro- tected, as you are doing this very minute?" Anne flung out. "For all you know somebody may be standing back of that mound wait- ing to shoot you." "I noticed the back of it when we came 'round the bend," he demurred with a smile. "You're perfectly reckless, if you want to know what I think. That's why Rule came up here— to watch over you." Safe For a Little While— He took several minutes to show her this was not the case. An oldtimer, by reason of long usage, saw everything in the land- scape that was suspicious. If a bush looked too dense, if there was a fresh hoofprint on the trail, if birds rose in a flurry, he was instantly on his guard. Moreover, this particular spot was just now entirely safe. There would be no further move until the Hat T riders had consulted with their employer. All of which did not convince her in the least. But she dropped that angle of argument and re- verted to her need of his help. "All right," he promised. "I'll come down two or three days in the middle of each week until you feel more sure of yourself." This was not very satisfactory, but it was the best she could do. She knew he really was very busy with ranch affairs. If she had not been worrying about his safety she would not have considered drafting him for the paper. On the way down from the ranch Anne asked him if Rufe had mentioned her marriage. "Yes," he answered. "Just as , you and Bill arrived at my place. He didn't have time to say much." Her blue eyes looked directly at him. "I wasn't trying to de- ceive you into thinking I am a spinster," she said. "I'll explain, if you don't mind. Jesse and 1 ran away and got married one night. Nobody in town knew it, for he left to come here next day. I kept it a secret, meaning to tell people when he sent for me. But instead of doing that he stopped writing. My wounded pride kept lne silent. I meant when I came west not to sail any longer under false pretences. But I wasn't go- ing to take Jesse's name, and I did not want to go around shout- ing that 1 was his wife. Folks might think I was trying to fasten myself on him. So I waited till I met him." "That all seems quite reason- able/' Jim told her gently. "None of it is reasonable!" she cried. "I was a silly little fool ser to fall in love with hint, if that is what it was. My people brought me up right. Why did I let him persuade me into a secret marriage? Looking back at it now, the whole thing seems in- credible. Usually I'm a sensible person. Did you ever do some one wild thing that was perfectly crazy?" iy7'[�' �,r�'DS. if "Her temper Bared at the least thing.

She laughed, a little wildly, not sure whether she ought not to be scornful of herself for wearing her heart on her sleeve: He said, in a low voice, "I'm honored that you can toll me,; Anne." "Anyhow, you know I'm not trying 'to entrap you," she told him, the color beating into her cheeks. f1I'in out of the market, for good.

"Nobody can blame you for be- ing bitter," Jim replied. "Bad luck like that ought not to come to any girl. I can only say that everybody here will respect you very highly, and that I hope you will take me for your friend." "I would like that," she said 'simply, a little shyly, not looking at hint. Her slender graceful figure, shoulders and hips in a straight vertical line, looked well in the saddle. Watching her, the deli - rate color in her cheeks, the beau- tiful line of the round throat sweeping down to the shoulders, Silcott knew a sudden panic. The blood was 'pounding stormily in his veins. The glamor of her pro- voking beauty swept over hint. Al- most he pulled up his horse, in the sudden realization that be wits in love. (Continued next week) Bacon For Britain Some Pork For Us Ann Rutherford, in the Strat- ford tratford Beacon -Herald, Tells How To Use What Britain Doesn't Need Bacon and ham are being sent over to Britain in increasing quantities, as Canadian producers get into their stride. Such em- phasis has been placed on the need for such food 'that the other parts of pork have been decidedly neg- lected. People got the idea they should stop eating pork in order to send more across the seas. That idea would not work, for there are many cuts which are not suit- able for shipping but which af. ford perfect xneals right here, There are spare ribs, for ex- ample. They could not be shipped out, They belong right here, with or without a filling of sauerkraut to bring out that delicious flavor. There's pork tenderloin, a meat fit for a King. Neat squares of it, suitably dressed, are equally at home on the banquet table or at dinner in the kitchen. It doesn't go to Britain. And what about pig's feet? And hocks? Pickled trotters may -not look enticing, but they have with- in then' that certain something which defies description. They are, in the best sense of the word, toothsome, whether%the tooth be natural or store variety. Sausages need no brief from any one. Served au naturel with apple rings, with tomato slices with ketchup or relish or plain mustard, they take second place to no meat at breakfast, dinner or supper. Little sausages or big ones, flanked by scalloped pota- toes or baking powder biscuits— ah me! The flavor lingers! Last but not least, there's head- cheese. It's messy stuff in the making, but the end justifies the means. The ugly head, resolved into its meaty parts and moulded into a quivering jelly was a stand- by in pioneer times. It helped to nourish brawny men and noble women, It does the same nowa- days, when it gets the chance. There are those who claim it is quite the choicest of all pork tid- bits. We'd hardly go as far as that. Suffice it to remark that nectar and ambrosia wouldn't stand a chance on a cold winter's evening in the Lamplight when the headcheese is set out on the table in all its glory, Churchill Advises Old Chinese Custom :, Prise Minister Churchill light- ly suggested In his House of Com- mons speech recently that one of the customs. of Ancient Ching would be of help in evaluating some of the criticizing of his conduct of the war. "There was a custom in An- cient China that anyone who wished to criticize the Govern- ment could memorialize the em- peror, and, providing he follow- ed it up by committing elertde, very great respect was paid to his word and no ulterior motive was Assigned," A Busy -Day Cake For Busy Workers' By. KATHARINE BAKER. Canadian women are buster these days than they have been for a long tile, Then our social aet1sities are no longe: ways of putting in leisure time but have taken on new meaning—bridges, bazaars and all sorts of parties for uitisng money for war chari- ties, knitting for the boys in the forces, preliai'ing boxes far over - Res.

Britain's Women Help In War Work Ninety per cent of all British women, from serving plaids to duchesses' daughters, are today engaged in some phase of war work, according to Miss Caroline Haslett, adviser to the British Ministry of Labor on women's training in engineering and in- dustry, who is in the United States to study participation of American women in defense. Describing the activities of Bri- tish women, Miss Hassett said that they have taken their place in airplane factories, tank plants, and other defense industries without causing a stir, and that they were working on anti- aircraft guns and as bus drivers and garage employees. Society girls aro driving ambulances without a thought for their safe- ty, she added. British women are carrying on without grumbling, many of them working twice as hard as they did before the war, Miss, Haslett added, No age limit has been placed on woolen in war work, she said, and some of the hardest industrial jobs, such as shoveling coal in boiler rooms, have been done successfully by women.
