"May be so," replied McTavish.
for towing us just a couple of miles.
I think it's scandalous,"
"But I'm making sure they earn
every penny—I've put the brakes
on."
In the seconds it took him to
cross to her, her mind leapt back
three years—to a dance at Alex-
andria. To the week that followed,
when she had dined and ridden and
sailed with this man; to a week that
had been ecstasy; to a week when
she had been 17 and hopelessly in-
fatuated with a man to whom love
was like soldiering—a series of
campaigns,
A week only. At its end he had
turned to his next campaign. And
she had instantly hated him as
deeply as she had loved him. The
next time they had met, impetuous
and bitter with her sense of injury,
she had quarreled with him. I -Ie
had laughed at her, and called her
a child. She had sent him away,
telling him never to speak to her
again. He had obeyed. She had
not seen him again—until now.

He was even more dashingly
handsome. He was bronzed attd
lean and strong looking. But three
years seemed to have aged him, His
lips had turned firmer, his eyes
grown strange with an old -young
look, as if they had seen too much
of life's hardness. He was smiling
at her now, his smile still charm-
ing, He meant to talk, of course.
And recall the past. But, no—
"Miss Virginia Ames?"
She drew a calmer breath. He
wasn't going to recall the past.
"Yes," coldly, "I am Miss Ames,"
"I am Lt. James Randall," he
said crisply. `I am investigating
last night's stage holdup. I under-
stand you were a passenger."
"Yes, I was."
"Do you mind if -I ask some ques-
tions? It will take but five min-
utes,"
"Very well"

He stood before her, one hand
holding his campaign hat, the other
resting on his saber hilt. The cav-
alry's yellow stripes running his
breeches from boot -top to belt made
his legs appear very long. He
looked so much at case it annoyed
her. Virginia's own tension was
terrific and increasing.
"First, Miss Ames, did you have
anything taken?"
"Only a cameo pin. It was not
of great value."
"You were the only passenger
robbed?"
"I think so—yes;"
"The bandits were more con-
cerned with a money box the ,stage
carried?"
She said indifferently, "Yes."
He nodded. "Could you describe
the bandits?"
* * *
She had difficulty keeping her
voice steady; her hatred and con-
tempt for hint seemed to come up
into her throat.
"Two of them, perhaps. The one
—the leader—was masked," With
few words site described the holdup
men.
Jim Randall regarded her thought-
fully. "The other passengers told
me there was a letter involved. You
dropped it, and one of the bandits
picked it up. The leader made him
return It,"
"There was a letter," Virginia
said, breathless now, "It was —
valueless except to myself."
"Oh, something personal ..." His
voice was infuriatingly matter of
fact. He was carrying this stranger
business too far, making a farce
of it. Virginia's lips thinned in
anger. She hated his smug- conceit.
She wondered suddenly how many
girls he had—laughed at.
Then he was saying, "I under-
stand you are traveling to Santa
Bonita, Have you arranged trans-
portation?"
She gave him a long cold look. "I
have. I have hired a carriage and
driver, I am starting today,"
*
His eyes were a smoke blue; they
were suddenly less mocking. He
said, "Do you mind my asking if
you have people there, Miss Ames?"
She gave him a bright smile, She
relished this; he had lost his post -
campaign skirmish. He had left
his flank unguarded.
"I have my fiance there." she said
deliberately.
"Oh, your fiance." He took it
without a change of expression. He
had no heart; he'd allow her no tiny
victory. Then he was smiling.
"Congratulations, Miss Ames, Per-
haps I know the—fortunate man."
She held her head high. "IIi'
name is Philip' Lawrence."
She caught a glimmer of expres-
sion in the smoke blue of his eyes.
"Philip Lawrence," he sampled
the name, "No, I do not know hits.
His name is, however, familiar,"

How Can I?
by Anne Ashley
Q. How can I bleach sheets?
A. An excellent method of bleach-
ing sheets is to hang them on the
line, and as quickly as the sun dries
them, turn the hose on them. Repeat
this several times.
Q. How can I keep meringue
from shrinking?
A. To help prevent meringue on
pies from shrinking while cooking,
be sure that It covers the entire tap
of the pie and touches the rim of tate
crust. Bake the meringue for about
15 minutes in a slow oven.' Too hot
an oven will cause shrinkage.
Q. How can I clean plaster of
Paris figures?
A.'By using mild soapsuds and a
shaving brush. Rinse wall. Dipping
them into a strong -solution of abaft
water will give them the appearance
of alabaster.
Q. How can 1 prevent rusting of
window screens?
A.'They will look like now and
will not rust if given a coat of

her back and forth. Many a time
they've waited for hours on end
for her return.
"And it's never her fault! She
throws tantrums, and twists facts

for losing her temper, and she
makes an exhibition of herself in
her children's homes in front of
their youngsters. Even those.

Several years ago, during a pro-
longed drought in Australia, the wild
creatures of the bush became so
thirsty that they braved even the
dangerous dooryards of settlers for
a drink of water. So the settlers,
whose cattle and sheep died like flies
for lack of water, were constantly
on the lookout lest these wild crea-
tures drink what little water was
left. Each man hung a loaded gun
near the doorway to be used at *
moment's notice.
Such a call came one hot sum-
mer's day, Instantly the settler
seized his guo and stood ready.
Out of the bush a mother kanga-
roo, with a young one in her pouch,
came loping across -the brown, pow-
dery open space surrounding the
house. Nearer and nearer she came,
her beautiful brown eyes fixed be-
seechingly on the settler. She made
her way straight to the tub of
water place& there for the use of
the few domestic animals that had
survived. Still the settler did not
shoot.
The water reached, she waited,
her soft gaze still fixed on the man,
while the young kangaroo in her
pounch drank its fill. Then she turn-
ed, without taking a drop for her-
self, and loped back across the
parched open space and on into the
tangled depths of the bush. The
settler watched her until she dis-
appeared. Then lie hung up his gun
and, with a choking in his throat,
went back to work.

He is old enough for a pension.
But she keeps him in debt, so he
works on. Ill and uncomplaining,
periodically he has to go to the
hospital for a month, Or two to
recuperate.
"This particular situation is get-
ting so bad that something has to
be done. None of,us can take much
more:. Especially her husband."
"Undoubtedly she is only one of
many.•middle.aged women who act
-
this way. If you print this, she may
read it and : take stock' of herself.
"I can easily see why the Indians
pushed their old women off a cliff.
Too bad ,there isn't some sort of
shocking machine today to wake,
up these foolish female's." — FED

* Whatever is done to better such
* a situation must seem drastic,
* This husband should act; if he
* can be persuaded to. He should
* assert his rights to retirement
* and a peaceful life, and demand
* that his wife radically change her
* attitude. He can use the gen-
* era( confusion she causes among
*.all the family as his prime reason,
* but he should not hesitate to re-
* mind her that his health must be
* considered, and at once.
* As for the family, if they will
* find the courage to ignore her as
* much as they can ,see her as sal-
* dom as possible, and convey the
* idea that it is because they choose
* this course, she may really open
* her eyes to the wrong she is doing
* them all.
