CHAPTER 11 (Continued Froni Last Week) He seemed to want to talk. "We naw signs of Apaches on the way north." "How interesting." Her voice was studiously bored. He gave her an intent look, then turned away, He halted when she said, softly, "Jim .. . "Yes?" "Nothing . , . I'm sorry," But it was enough to hold him. He brought out a pipe and filled and lighted it. He smoked in silence and seemed to listen to the night's quiet. Virginia felt the nearness of hint and the distance of him, too. She watched him through half- elosed eyes, dreamily, wondering about hila and his life. His voice shattered her thoughts, "Is your fiance to meet you at Fort Winfield?" "No , ..

ISSUE 21 — 19.19 took the column, joining it when it moved on again. Steve Barron rode beside Virginia and talked at tiinee. Each occasion Jim Randall looked back frowning in disapproval. His frowns, prompted Virginia to talk more spiritedly, laugh more gaily. At dusk, Mel Scarlett, the scout, appeared suddenly on the trail ahead. He had been scouting all day, seeming to travel 10 miles to the column's one. He made a sign to Jim Randall, and the officer's order halted the march. The troop- ' ers rode forward to flank the wagons. They had halted is a wooded, rocky country. Beyond where Mel Scarlett sat on his horse was a wide, shallow stream. On the far side stood a mounted figure, motionless as stone. An Apache. Naked ex- cept for head -band, breech -clout, moccasins and bandolier of cart- ridges, his body shone coppery in the half-light. He carried rifle and lance. Scarlett rode to Jim Randall. "Wants a pow -wow, sir. Don't like it none. Good spot for an ambush." Jim Randall nodded. He talked to Sgt. O'Hara. He sent a trooper forward on foot to a fallen tree lying some 30 yards ahead Then, with Mel Scarlett, he rode to the stream • and entered to its middle. The water swirled about his horse's legs. The Apache rode to the water's edge, signaled with his lance. A second Indian appeared from the trees and joined the first. They entered the water. The talk began. Shortly a third warrior appeared and joined the first two. A minute Iater a fourth e followed, The fifth, emerging from behind a giant boulder, appeared and rode to the group. Virginia stepped from the car- riage. She heard the soldiers voic- ing anxious thoughts. O'Grady, her driver, growled annoyance. "Is Randall a fool? He's walked into a trap!" Steve Barron rode close. "Don't worry," he said easily. "Randall will handle the situation." Virginia looked at hit" surprised. He grinned at her.. ' "Oh, Jim Randall and 1 respect one another—" he began but broke off as Sgt, O'Hara, a grizzled old campaigner, spoke quiet orders. The troopers dismounted with their rifles. They took up positions for a skirmish. Steve Barron dis- mounted. He wore two ivory - butted guns in holsters at his thighs. His face was suddenly grave, "Looks liike trouble," he said "The sergeant is worried because Randall is outnumbered. If there's an attack, it will be because the Apaches are much stronger In num- ber than the soldiers" He looked closely at Virginia. "Frightened?" She shook her head. No . . . But her lips were cold and dry.

It's hard to understand why so many first class cooks—present company excepted, of course—wily carefully follow recipes for almost everything they make, with one ex- ception, That's jam. When it comes to jam making they're inclined to follow "rule of thumb" methods, often with results that aren't en- tirely satisfactory. This is a great mistake when it's so easy to follow scientific instruc- tions that lead straight to success. Here, for instance, is a grandway to make that almost universal favor- ite: STRAWBERRY JAM 4 cups prepared fruit 7 cups sugar 3d bottle fruit' pectin Method. Crush thoroughly about 2 quarts fully ripe strawberries. Measure 4 cups into a large sauce- pan. Add sugar to fruit in sauce- pan and mix well. Place over high heat, bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard One minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in bottled fruit pectin. Then RHUBARB and STRAWBERRY JAM 3 cups prepared fruit. 44 cups sugar ' 1 box powdered fruit pectin Method. Slice thin or chop (do not pee.) about Id pound rhubarb. Crush thoroughly about 1 quart fully ripe strawberries. Combine fruits and measure 3 cups into a large saucepan. Measure sugar and set aside.. Place saucepan holding fruit over high heat. Add powdered fruit pec- tin and stir until mixture comes to a hard boil. At once stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil and boll hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, skim, ladle quickly into glasses. Paraffin at once. Makes about 7 six -ounce glasses. 0' ' * The strawberry -rhubarb combin- ation is a grand one for other things beside jam. Deep dish pie, for example, While the berry sea - stir and skim by turns for five minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Pour quickly into glasses. Paraffin at once. Makes about 10 glasses six ounces each. * * * Instead of making all your straw- berry jam "straight" why not try some that's "stretched out" with a b'It of rhubarb. The flavor is grand; in fact there are lots of folks who prefer it to the other, CROSSWORD PUZZLE ROSS 1. Plowee' S. Paper memo - 11. Preasent 18, Necessitate 14, Correlaelative of either 10.
