She had yet to learn with what rapidity news re ads in s a pcountry where inhabitants are few and far be- tween. She shook her head de- cisively; "No, I'in sure he wasn't, He was honestly. warning Mr. Sil- cott." Both of them left at once to go to, the Diamond Slash. They must be up there or at the dam now." Bar drummed with his finger- tips on the arm of his chair. "Answering your question, Miss Eliot, I'll say that Puss Mosely has nerve enough to go through on anything he ,tackles, but usu- ally he is pretty careful what lie does." His oldest on Richard, a tall broad shouldered rangy man; ad- ded a dry explanation. "Careful to keep under cover so dirty work can't be proved on him." "You don't think then that he would blow up the dam?" Anne persisted. "I wouldn't know about that," Bar said. "He claims lie is on the side of law," "That's one way of putting -it," Rufe said. "I'd say that most of the Iaw around these parts is on his side. He has it roped and hogtied." "I want to see him while Pan up here," Anne told her host. "Can you get me a guide to take me to the Hat T?" "I reckon so. You'll have to ride across the ridge. There's no wagon road," He considered for a moment. "Some of us aren't exactly welcome at the Hat T. Diek and I are barred. So is Rufe," his gaze dwelt on the younger son. "Bill can take' you. If he wants to go. 13e haen't been mixed up yet in any trouble with the Hat T riders." "Sure. P11 go." Bill volun- teered cheerfully. He knew an attractive girl when he saw ono. "After that I want to go to • the Diamond Slash," Anne men- tioned. "Shall we have to come back here? Or can we out across to •1t?" "Either way. You'd gaits time by going direct," Anna' had brought some riding clothes in her valise, When she appeared in there next morning Rufe thought he had never seen a more attractive rider•. She sat her horse well, a' trim light fig- ure of :grace. Jelks rode off with them but stopped at a cross trail to say - good-bye, ".Be seeing you this evening at the Diamond Slash," he told them. "liope you convert Russ to peaceful and decent ways." Mosely was at !tome when they reached the ranch standing. He was very much surprised to see Miss Eliot but did not let it show hi his manner, "You'll stay for dinner of course," he saki, "It will be ready in half an hour. Till then Pll show you over the place." If he was curious about the reason for her visit be showed no Tie up to Ogden's!

Ask for Ogden's Cut Plug ISSUE 42—'41 A sign of it: He was all friendli- ness and ease, She liked the •way he walked, carrying his s tr o ng muscular body with strength and lightness,., .Anne was surprised at the dis- order she saw all around her. The fences were well built and the gates strong. There was a new windmill in the corral. She caught glimpses of expensive machinery, its some sheds. The Hat T was a prosperous going outfit, and its owner was very well off, Yet there was an appearance almost of squalor in the place,. The buildings had been flung up hur- riedly, without any regard to -good looks, and there seemed to be no decent pride of ownership. On, the porch of the retain house was a litter of odds and ends ap- parently dropped there by the last owner. Her glance picked up a saddle, a pair of muddy boots, a pail half fuli of water; some rivets, a broken bridle, and an old newspaper;' It was the same all over the plaza—wagon wheels, an empty box, a saddle blanket hanging on a fence, a pair of torn overalls. Mosely guessed at the criticism in the young woman's mind. "Not very neat, is it?" he said apolo- getically. "I've been so busy building up the ranch that I haven't found time to curry the Hat T yet." Sines he seemed to ask for a. suggestion she made one. "I'd think you could work so much more efficiently with order around you." She did not reten- tion beauty. There was not a flower on the place, Its ugliness was appalling. He shrugged his broad shoo!. ders complacently. "That will come in time. 1't going to make this the show place of the coun- try." His cool grey eyes rested on her. "The Hat T neeas a mistress. I'll Have to see about that." "Make a note to attend to it some day when you have time," she said gaily, and changed the subject by asking him how large the ranch was. Ai they were returning lte re - feared to their last meeting. He mentioned it with a smile, warm and genial, "I'nt all the more glad to see you, Miss Eliot, because we pert - ed a little edge -ways at each other," he said. "1 clon''t want that. It is important to me to have your friendship. You have come more than halfway to meet me this time. Let me go all the way to you at our next ineeting, I know you have heard evil things about me. Let the have a ehaneo to remove that bad impression. She nodded, sinning at hirer, "Pru so glad you feel that way. I don't want to be among your enemies. In feet, I wish you didn't have any," "That can't be helped," he told her. "It is only weaklings with- out any backbone who have no enemies. Take this land-grant feud. If I enforce my rights— as I mean to do -1 snake foes of the squatters who are sitting on the land without valid titles." An Absurd Position "I suppose so." After a morn- ent of hesitation Anne said what was in her mind, "Do yon have to take their land from them? I've just been told that old Hat T ranch is a big one, not count- ing the acreage in dispute," "I'm not taking their land but Jny land from therm," he said curtly. "Why shouldn't I, if the courts decide in my favor? i. need: a big range to carry out my plans. It is not my fault that they bought front those who did not own what they sold." "Are you going to wait until the court decision is given?" she asked. He looked at her, sharply. "What d'you mean? . Of course I am," "I'm glad of that." She hur- ried on, before her courage .cooled, ' "I came to see you be- cause I heard a story I don't want• to believe." "Yes?" he said warily, and waited. "I heard you intend to blow up Jim Silcott's dam." Astonished, he stared 'at her. "Where did you hear that?" It doesn't !natter where. Word carie to me that you had bought dynamite and that you had sent Men up there to see how it could be done." She .faced him, slenderly erect, her eyes demanding of him the truth, Did Silcott send you here?" "No. He doesn't know I am here." He laughed, harshly, "Just .earn° on your own, out of the goodness of. your heart, to save ne from doing wrong," • "You once came to ask me not Grand Spice Cake Raisin Nut Filling In Arabia, when a man has eat en another man's salt, he 'is mor- ally bound not to harm his host, ' In this country we take the apieee of the eclat, finely -milled cake Hour, sugar, eggs and salt too, of course, and make them into a grarttl"spice cake, which is guaranteed to en• auto your safety.

This was one of the items decided upon at the meeting of the Provincial Execu. tive Committee of the Canadian Girl ,Guides in the Masonic Hall, Bedford, recently, Thirteen thousand articles, largely made by the Guides thentselves, have already gone from Canada.. All have arrived safely and letters of appreciation were read from Commissioners in England who had received theta. The committee is continuing to work on Guide libraries by send- ing books to Guides i» parts of the province where other child- ren's libraries are not available, Eccentric Cats Won't Eat Fish Whoever heard of a cat that tvoulun`t eat fish? Well, New York has two of thetn, Tommy and Midnight, and they're look- ing for a new home, They are the prize rat -catching cats of the Battery Park Aquarium which note is in the process of closing. Their mother, Lena, offspring of an upstate New York moun- tain wildcat, lost her taste for fish after being shocked by an electric eel. Tommy and Mid- night inherited their mother's dis- taste,. to do something," she reminded him. "And you told me, politely, to mind my own business," he coun- tered. "Now you can get even." Her smile was shy and placatory. "But I hope you won't, I'm in- terfering in what isn't my busi- ness, but it's because I want to try to bring peace." "All right. I'll give you an answer. You haven't the least idea as to the right and wrong of this fight, Your misinforma- tion comes from men of no stands ing — lawless trouble makers. This man Silcott's dam, to take a specific point, has no business to be there, He has impounded water that ought to run freely down the creek. If I want to abate a nuisance I have. a, perfect right to do so. Mind you, i'in not admitting for a moment that I mean t.i do so. I'm merely showing you how absurd your position is." Anne knew she had failed.

Tots Cared For hi War Nursery "Children's Grand Hotel" Is London's First War Emerg• ency Nursery It costs less than 21 cents a day to stop at the "Children's Grand Hotel" ---London's first way emerg- ency nursery'— In Tottenham, u northern suburb of tate capital. Most of the children are left iu the early morning by mothers on their way to factories or other war work. They stay all day until the mothers pick them ep on the tvay home. Bach intent has its own Serve fish and keep the house hold budget 'within bounds is tke. advice of Miss Hazel Freeman, lec-' tuner -demonstrator of the Fisheries , Department, to ltousowives , who ole troubled about the rising costs of meat and eggs, "One pound of salmon has three times the nutritional Value of a ponnd'af mutton or lamb; and one and a hall pounds of white fish equal a pound t:" /eau beet," 0115 explained. "But when the prices aro compared, any housewife will see the advantage iu iuereasisg the fish consumption int the home." Dr. Robert Wodehouse, deputy Miuistet• of Pensions and Health, described fish as "one of the most valuable forms ,ot toed, containing the same constituents as meat but in a much more digestible form," Embodying relatively high per. centeges of complete proteins, Pish also' contained fats, energy foods; vitamins, especially D and A which were body builders and increased i'ei s stauc eo di t s ease. Hints For Buying A few hints, -for buying were outlined by Mies Freeman: 1. Buy in season. Fresh fish are usually at their best both iu flavor and quality as well as cheapest: 2, Ohgose thick' plump fish in preference to long slender ones for quality and economy, 3, Observe that flesh is firm, egos and gills bright, skin not dull, and no strong odor. 4. When whole slices . are not required costs may be reduced,: by buying cuts near•the head or tail. 6. Cheaper varieties may be us- ed in many casserole dishes, tish- cakes. soups or souffles. Suggestion was made that in buying, three servings to a pound of fillets or half a pound per per son for whole fish are adequate: Also in keeping fish, they should be wrapped In waxed gaper, cov- ered closely and kept in a vel•' cold place if juices and flavor are not to be lost, "One can buy haddock for 16 cents a pound,and almost all fish cheaper than meat," Miss Freeman said. "This can be a real saving in restricted budgets."

Thousands of tons of it have been stored in depots from one end of the toiletry to the other., . The ration is a dry wheaten biscuit scientifically balanced, and it has been produced against the possibility of an invasion holding up the normal baking of bread: Bread stales'rapidly because of its high moisture content. The iron ration biscuit has only 3% percent. of moisture and it keeps indefinitely. Its somal ingredients are whole-wheat, fat and sugar. Its vitamin content is unimpaired by baking.
