"We got 'em," Webb said in a tfuiet yoke to the two men he met. And he took the guard watch handed hint. Out across the sleeping herd, a cowboy was singing a lonesome, Isiliug song. 'There is an - indefinable spell .shout night guard. It creeps into ✓ cowboy's heart like a plaintive tneiody. ft is on starry nights, when the herd is quiet, that the ;avboy dreams as he rides, singing Itis song to his cattle, Always his song carries that note of lonesome- that is the cowboy's lot.

ISSUE 23 — 1050 Diamond, 1 was an nsy way to the outfit, which was camped north of Milk River, baths' along my string of ponies, when I stopped at this ranch for the night. "It was a Saturday night; no school of a Sunday. Now, my night horse was a plumb gentle, biscuit -cath? feller. A black -and - white paint horse called Blackfoot. I laid over and took her horseback ridin'. Monday morning' I rode on to where the Circle Diamond wagon was camped. But I was shy a night horse. Blackfoot stayed there at the ranch. When we gat married at the end of the round -up, the old gent .at the Circle C give her that fat paint pony. Yep, we got mar- ried. I quit spendin' my stoney over the bar, quite gamblin', "The old gent talked urs into run- nin' for sheriff and 1 got elected. Settled down and stayed thataway. Yep, Allen a man cares about a tt•onean, he's got to quit his fool cowboy ways and act like he was human. Take a young feller your age, for instance, with one of the finest and gamest little girls that ever lived, a-carin' for hint so much she can't sleep nights for wor- ryin' about hien. If that feller was smart, he'd quit tryin' to go bronco. He'd quit herdin' with outlaws and he'd quit buckin' a losin' game. He'd sell out and marry that girl and take her to a new range and snake a home for her. He wouldn't go ehargin around all over the country packiu' a gun and huntin' trouble. \Vebb Winters stared straight ahead when he answered the sher- iff. "You're talkin' through your ]tat, Hank. Talkin' loco. You don't savvy the layout. Mae don't care about me like that. Man, she was goin' to marry Bob Anderson. Bob just naturally- worshipped Iter, He's kep' me awake many a night tellin' me how he was goin' to make their home so that she'd be content to live on a ranch. Bob and me had planned on addin' a big room to Isis cabin. A big stone iircplace and some Injun rugs and bear hides on the floor. Real dishes instead of the ones he had. "I helped him pick the furniture out of the catalogue. Fancy dishes, a whole set of 'eur. Crockery and new cookin' hardware. A real stove. .A sofa and easy chairs for the big room. A talkin' machine with a fancy horn. We put in half the nights last winter markin' out in the catalogue what he'd need. The catalogue and the list is in Bob's cabin right now. I never saw a man care for a woman like Bob Anderson cared for Mae. "Then the damned skunk mur- dered him. Bob is dead. Inc goin' to live long enough to pay 'flit off in their own kind of money. Bob was my pardner." Webb Winters had spoken quiet- ly. Too quietly to suit old Hank Roberts, who knew how to read then. He caught that note of final- ity and he knew that nothing he could say or do wouldalter Webb's plans. He Made one Last effort, however, "Webb, sou, did you ,'ter asic Mac to marry you?" "No," "But von thought a heap of her?" "So did Bob. Hank, he just plumb worshipped Mac." "And you rode off and let Bob do his courtin'. I don't reckon it ever struck you that it was, volt, not Bob Anderson, that she cared most for. I don't reckon it ever got through that thick skull of yonrn that she wa, uunryiu' hob because she figured that you'd neva:- some around, courtiu•, "Webb, that girt is ttore'.ht" her heart out these days. She looks peaked and she cries when she's alone, tier eyes give her away. She thought a heap of Bob Ander- son because he just sort of wor- shipped her. Bob got killed and she'll never quite git over it, be- cause Ite always treated her so great. But it was you she wanted to marry all the time. !Continued Next Week) IN INDIANAPOLIS, a couple's kitten made ils disappearance at about the same time their car de - t eloped a strange squeak.

P Clarke Since last week i have iearnt a little more about painting and a lot more about birds, When I left you last week I was painting the hall and also watching three little robins in a nest over the front door. Idy, how those little birds grew! Ten days and they were all feath- ered out and getting ready to leave the nest. And by that time they had become nice looking wee things with bright speckled breasts. They, kept Mother and Father Robin busy from lawn 'to dark satisfying their hungry needs and the parents knew with unerr- ing instinct just what the little birds could digest. For the first few days they were fed tiny pin - size worms and grubs, then, as the birds grew bigger Mr, and Mrs. Robin brought bigger and better worms, twirled around their beaks for convenience in carrying. After iter babies had been fed Ivirs. Rob- in often got into the nest behind them, pecked away for a few min- utes and then fly off again. What is she doing, I wondered? To find out 1 watched more closely. Now what do you suppose was happening? 'Fell, believe it or not, Mrs. Robin was housekeeping! Icer method was to hunt for the droppings of her offspring, then pick them up in her beak and fly away with them. If only chickens could be trained that wayl Another thing 1 found out .. , when little birds are feath- ered out Mrs, Robin leaves them to themselves all night. But come the dawn, she is back again with an early breakfast. And indeed, these robins grew so fast there was no loons in the nest for mother any- way. When they were about eight days old the young robins began making chipping noises and some- times they would stand tip in the nest and flap their sturdy little wings. One time one little fellow hopped on to the ledge, blit soon got nervous and cuddled down in the nest again. That is, until today. '?'day was their big day ... and mine, too. The parent robins, hour after hour, flew around from tree to tree, and hack and forth to the ledge near the nest, chipping, dripping, all the time—calling to their babies in bird language ' Conte, it is time you left the nest. Spread your wings, little fledg- lings. Conte out here in the open —we will take care of you. We will show you where the best worms ate found and the safest trees and oashes in which to hide until your wings are stronger." So one by one tate little fledg- li,gs, shipping nervously, flew down 10 the nearest tree. When the first ore made the grade the patent birds left the less venturesome ones still in their nest while they en- ticed the first adventurer away from the house—away from slinking cats and a playful pup. That done, they would return again and start chip- ping as vigorously as ever, The little birds that were left Iii the nest would answer shrilly in re- turn. It took quite a lot of coax- ing to get the last one to leave but finally it took to its uncertain Wings. Now they are all away; the cosy, rather shaggy nest is de- serted, and, believe it or nut, I feel stifle .lonesome without my little Weds. But then, I have also finished the lower hall, so I wouldn't have had then constantly under observa- tion much longer anyway. Yes, soon I shall be starting on the upper hall—ht England we used to call the upper hall "the landing" --if that is of any interest, How- ever, before I start out with the paint brush again there is a two - weeks' wast[ that has to be at- tended to and other work to catch ftp on. I mentioned having learnt a little more about painting—that was in the mixing. Fos- the floor of our hall 1 had chosen an enamel that called itself "leather brown." May- be newly tanned leather would look • that colour and be attractive in some rooms but on our hall it was horrible. I did one strip and it made me feel billions to look at it. And then, company caste to call and that finished my painting for that night. But I went to bed and worried about it. I felt I couldn't live with that ' paint and like it. But what to do about it , the only other shade was dark brown which I didn't want. Next morning, I looked over my paint supply with a view to trying a mixture—maybe a bit of black would do the trick. Or this gray porch paint—what col- our would grey and brown pro- duce "Well, there's only one way to find out," said I to myself. So after stirring the quart of grey enamel I dumped half of it into my quart of leather brown. Result —a nice, soft shade of brown, about the colour of fumed oak. It is rather fun mixing colours, never being certain what the out- come will be. But halfway measures are no good—if you start nixing you have to prix enough to finish your job—or put up with a patch work effect. DRUGS SPOIL CHEESE Wisconsin cheesernakers have had trouble with milk in their vats during the cording process. The trouble has been traced to cattle that were being treated with peni- cillin or aureoumycin for mastitis, an udder disease. Dr, W. V Price found that the drugs halt the growth and upset the normal bac- teria aateria necessary for good cheese production. AFTER ESCAPING serious in- jury in a collision, a Newark motor- ist otorist was bitten three times by his dog, which had been riding with him. Mien an ambulance arrived to take him to hospital, it caught fire. Here it is! The Best Paint Value In Canada Since 1939 Home Paint Co.

HOME PAINT CO. 313 RUSHTON ROAD TORONTO — ONTARIO 1ANNE HAST, Co••r.t flet "Dear Anne Hirst: Two years ago I gave my husband a divorce, so he could marry a woman he went with all the time we were married. I thought he would tire of her and come back to the and the children. "Instead, they are happier now than evert All ny friends tell me about their new tome, their car, and other luxuries. When he has our children, they can't do enough for them, andd the youngsters like the wife fine. When he comes after them, I nearly diet "I still love hint. Surely he must think of me, the mother of his children? "Do you think 1 could talk to him and get hint to come back to us? "After all, this woman tools him from us. Why not give her some of her own medicine? RISE ABOVE IT * To want to "pay this woman * back" and wreck her marriage, is * the first reaction of a disappointed * wife, But even if you could ac- * contplish this, surely you are too * fine a person to try. * You took a chance in divorcing * your husband. * You lost, * Why not admit it, and lose like * a lady? * You could not persuade your * husband to come back to you, * you know. You have learned * how entirely happy he is with his * new wife. To attempt to destroy * that happiness could only leave * you with new humiliations, and * an inconsolable regret that 'you * ever tried. . * You say you love your htis- * baud, 1 do not doubt that. But * isn't it' the real truth 'that you * want hint back---whelier lee wants * to come or not? If he has wanted * to, lie would have told you long * ago. * 'When we know true love, we want the other's happiness more * ;than we want our own. * Your husband is happy now. * Can't you quell your jealousy, * and come to rejoice that he, at * least, is gcting what he wants out * of life? * When you accomplish this, you * will know the consolation of * peace: Rid of this harrowing * jealousy, you can approach life * with the assurance that you are * a better Christian, and thorough * new faith in yourself, conquer * your loneliness and make a good * life for yourself and your chit- * dren. * Seek help in this through your * church. 1 think your minister * can help you in your struggle, * and bring you peace.

This new in- strument, known as a "prnjectioa magnifies'," was developed at the Franklin Institute Laboratories for Research and Development. The projection magnifier weighs a little more than 17 pounds, measures 21 inches high, 14 inches wide and 27 inches deep and contains two 40 -watt bulbs, with a pair of 100 - watt bulbs as alternates. When a page is placed on a movable tray at the bottom and a lens lowered against it, an illuminated magnifi- cation appears an a ground glass slanted at the correct angle for a reader in a chair. If vision is very slight it is still possible to read by moving closer to the screen.
