CHAPTER II
, (Continued From Last Week)
"We won't go into that, Barron. I
haven't the time." The lieutenant
turned to Virginia and took her
arm. He helped her almost roughly
into the carriage, What she was
seated under its top, he said, "I've
held up the march for an hour."
Virginia said detnurely, "I'm very
sorry, lieutenant."
He turned to O'Grady, who
*limbed into the driver's seat "Fol-
low me close, driver, I won't be
delayed longer"
He walked to his horse and put
Barron
foot into the stirrup. Stephen
Barron stepped down from the hotel
steps.
'Randall, one minute,"
Jim Randall faced him itnpati-
vantly. "Well?"
"I'd like to know if you've gotten
a line on those bandits who robbed
Bite stage last night."
"I've investigated and obtained a
description of two of them," the
army officer said. "I had .time for
ao further investigation, The hold-
up shall be reported to MaJ, Ben-
son at Fort Winfield,"
0 0
"Well—thanks," Barron said.
"Don't thank me, Barron," Jim
Randall said, "I'd like to arrest those
bandits, but not merely to accom-
modate you. You understand that,
I guess."
"r understand that," Stephen Bar-
ron smiled lazily as his fingers
rolled a cigarette. There was the
threat of sharp steel behind his
smile; he looked suddenly hard and
dangerous without changing at all.
"However, I suffered the only loss.
Two thousand dollars of mine was
In the box those bandits took. I
can't afford losses like that."
Virginia watched the two men;
they seemed like duelists. Their
eyes measured each other. She
eould sense their wills clash.
Jim Randall said, "It's not your
first loss in a stage holdup, Barron.
Nor likely to be your last. There's
eomething might4; queer that those
bandits prey only on you."
Stephen Barron lighted his cigar-
ette, He said evenly, "Yes—mighty
queer."

"And 1 have a hunch you know
what's back of these robberies."
"If I knew," Barron said evenly,
"I'd do something about them."
He turned; swept off his hat to
Virginia, and said, "Adios, Miss
Ames."
She smiled back, aware of Jim
Randall's annoyed frown.
South out of Lannasa, the cave!.
cade traversed a trail so level and
straight it seemed to reach into the
pale blue of space. Three army
freight wagons, big lumbering ve-
hicles, trailed behind Virginia's two -
horse carriage. Twenty troopers
formed the escort, marching behind
the wagons in double file.' A ser-
geant and a bugler rode ahead of
Virginia's carriage, and at the head
of the column Jim Randall rode
with the scout, a leathery -faced
man wearing battered sombrero, a
baggy vest over faded gray shirt,
denim Levies tucked Into worn
cowboy boob.

gound. Sabers clattered in scab-
bards. Saddlecreaked. The wa-
gons gave out complaining noises.
Airzona sun blazed in a brass sky.
The miles stretched long and tor- •
tuous.
Virginia challenged this new
country with eager eyes. It was the
country Phil Lawrence had adopted
nearly two years before, a land
from which Inc meant to wrest his
fortune. It was a wild, lonely
country.
Late in the afternoon, Jitn Ran-
dall rode back to Virginia's car-
riage, His horse was lathered and
dust -begrimed, but he showed no
signs of trail -wear. He pointed in-
to the vast distance ahead,
"Beyond those granite hills show-
ing through the heat haze," lie ;laid,
lies better country. We'll camp
there for the night."
The granite hills lay behind them
at dusk. Camp was made by a
stream bordered by cottonwood
trees. It was bivouac for the sol-
diers, but Jim Randall had a tent
erected for Virginia. They ate army
food in the glow of the catnpfires,
and the night swiftly closed down.
Stars began to sparkle against the
blue -black of the sky, and the moon
rose over faraway hills, a great
orange -tinted ball,
Virginia walked along the stream's
edge, her thoughts uneasy and
dwelling on Phil Lawrence, Site
stopped and leaned back against
the slanting trunk of a tree, and
there Jim Randall found her.
"Don't wander too far," he seid.
"I shan't" she assured hitn.

Of course "we are what we eat"
is a very old and well-known adage.
Yet far too few of us pay any real
attention to it. Yet the food we
eat --or don't eat—has so much to
do with how we feel and the en-
joyment we get out of life.
Some time ago a survey was made
of some families down in Pennsyl-
vania—average families, very much
like yours, who THOUGHT that
they were eating well. Yet a year
of better meal planning and wiser
selection of foods proved that a
lot of so-called "tninor" ailments
could be almost done away with;
ailments such as colds, fatigue
"nerves" and so on. Eating the
wrong foods over a period of yearn
even showed up in poor bones and
teeth.
So I thought today I'd give you,
just a reminder, a little chart which
shows, in handy form, the different
food groups and the number of
servings each person should get.
FOOD GROUPS
Leafy, green,..a.nd yellow vegetables
Citrus fruit, tomatoes
SERVINGS PER PERSON
10 to 12 a week
7 to 9 a week
Potatoes, sweet potatoes
Other vegetables and fruit
Milk (may be as cheese, ice cream)
Meat, poultry, fish
Eggs
Dry beans, peas and nuts
7 to 9 a week
10 to 12 a week
Children: 4 cups a day
Adufts: 8 cups a day
7 to 8 a week
7 eggs a week
1 to 2 a week
Flour, cereals, baked goods (whole
grain, enriched, restored)
Every meal
Fats, oils, sugar, syrup, preserve*
Ever get a notion that you'd like
to get busy and whip up some kind
of a dessert that was really new
and different? Well, here's one that
I'd be almost willing to bet you've
never tried, and which I think
you're going to really smack • your
lips over. It's

A ired mother 0.51c5 My Opinion
of he• situation,
This mother has been married 23
years. She had only two children,
and she lost the son during this
last war. She has not got over
it. She has always been nervous
and is poor health, and a few
operations did not tend to calm her
nerves,
Now she feeN that her daughter,
who is a mother too, is demanding
of her more than she can hope to
perform.
The daughter is married, has
two youngsters.
She also has a ;
part - time job.
She leaves her
, four-year-old in
a day nursery,
and her mother
ca r e s for the
baby. The two
children are
with their
grandmother every evening, while
their mother and father go out
"I don't mind keeping the chil- •
dren one or two nights a week,"
she.writes, "while my daughter and.
her husband go to a party or the
theater. But I think when they
just go to friends' homes, they
should be able to take the children
along.
"It is quite a. job to keep babies'
all the1 time, after your own are
grown and you're ,out of practice.
Every night after my daughter
takes her children home, I am a
nervous wreck. I love the children
dearly, and hate myself for quarrel-
ing with my daughter. But she
never does anything for me. She
never makes a bed after • the chil-
dren's, naps, or does their dishes, or
picks up after them.
"My husband and my relatives,
and sometimes her own husband
feel that I am being imposed upon.
Their home is not far off, but she
and her babies practically live at
my house. I do love the girl very.
much, and I wish we could get
along better together."
* A grown daughter who has
* babies of her own should assume
* her proper responsibilities. To
* park them with her mother; and
* expect her to look after them
* every night ;while she and her
* husband 'enjoy, themselves, in
* manifestly 'unfair. ;Not only is she.
* robbing herself of the companioa“
* ship of her chilclen,,,bat ..she ia
taking advantage; of her mother's,
* kindness. And showing,' in thia,
* case, precious little appreciation
* of all the service her mother is
* giving.
" This is 'the time for that
* mother to take her stand. She
* must be relieved of some of
* these responsibilities which drain
* her strength., For her daughter's,
* sake, too, the girl must be made.
* tia behave like a mother should,
* and not bindery her mother with
* the duties which 'naturally are
* her own.
* It is all very well for a grand,
* mother to be an occasional baby-
* sitter. But to assume the entire'
* care of even one child every day
* is unjust. It deprives her and
* her husband of any' social life of
* their own (which this WO3310.11
4' surely needs) and it itnposes re,
* sponsibilities upon her which, se
* her age, are outrageous.
* The one way that this girl win
* come to respect her mother more
* pleasantly) is for that mother to.
* take a firm stand, and refuse any
* longer to be imposed upon.
A mother can do too much foe
her children. When they come to
take her, for granted, trouble starts.
Anne Hirst's long olfsedvation od
family troubles is at your service.
