Then: "But he didn't tell you that he is a gambler?" "'t gambler?" She knew the shock of disappointment; she had thought of Stephen Barron different. and he wasn't at all under his polish. "Yes, a gambler," jam told her `'He practically owns Santa Bonita Built it with a deck of cards. Ask Ititn to tell you about it. It's an Interesting story." "I—I don't think I care to heat ft." Virginia had not expected to find sleep that night. Danger made the darkness static. The nights ngises were startling. The howl of a coy- ote, the hoot of an owl; eerie sounds always and doubly so now. But her body was weary from the day of hard travel. Sleep came swiftly. She awoke once and lay tensely it f s t e n i n g. Low-pitched voices t'sached her from somewhere out - tide. Jim Randall's voice first. "His fiancee, Barron," he was saying.

Their voices moved away, were lost. Virginia lay in the darkness of her tent shivering. Afraid. They might have been discussing her— and Phil. She knew they had beettl Then — her heart was furiously pounding something was wrong. Phil must be in trouble. CHAPTER IV. In the bleak gray of early dawn, Jim Randall came to Virginia's tent and called to her in a low, urgent voice that snapped her wide awake. She sat up and pushed aside the heavy army blankets. She saw him outside the tent's opening, a tall grey form in the faint light. His face was indistinct, but she had the impression that it was grave. "Yes, I'm awake," she said. "May I conte in?" "Just a minute...." She had not undressed except to Loosen her dress fastenings and remove her shoes. Quickly her fingers secured but- tons and drew on her shoes. She rose and tried to smooth the wrin- kles from her dress, attempted to arrange her tousled hair so that she looked presentable, "All right," she said. And he bent and stepped inside, Then, crisply, he said, "Virginia, I don't want to frighten you. But there may be trouble. The Apaches are near by. They may attack." She took a step toward him. "Jim you must be careful!" "I?" he looked astonished. "I'm thinking of you." Her color was higher; she could feel it burn her cheeks. She was a fool, of course. But she had loved hint once. She said breathlessly: "Mel Scarlett told ate. The Apaches want to capture you. They—" "Virginia, my child—" She recoiled as if he had slapped her. He spoiled it all with three words, shattered everything she had an instant ago felt for him. He had dared to call her a child a second time! At 17 she hated hint for that. At 20 she could despise stint—with al! the strength of her mature be- ing. It's quite all right," she said flatly. "Thanks for bringing me the warning," "Here's my plan," he said. `R can't spare troopers to guard you. The next hest thing Is—well. Steve Barron. I've talked with hint. If things are bad, he'll try to get you through to Fort Winfield. You're to take my horse—no grass-fed Apache tnustang will be able to overtake the sorrel. 1 know you can ride --" He smiled Natty.

I -FIRST] "Dear Anne Hirst: I at;; 22, and have been married half a year. My wife and her folks are full of fun, and I would consider myself a lucky man—but because of dif- ferences in our religious beliefs, there is a disheartening atmosphere in our household. "Under the influence of her family, my wife has set out to change my ideals. They want me to come into their church - which I consider fan- atical. When I don't attend Sunday after Sunday, I feel I am looked down on as an 'unfortunate sinner.' "I would like t finish college. 'When I speak of this, they tell me I don't need further education, that 'God will take care of our needs.' "I can't see any further future as a sawmill worker.

A wife who thwarts her husband's ambitions is not being smart, The yearning for better living and better thinking should not be discouraged, or a man's spirit is broken.

How They Built A Real Log louse "Building a log House is a somewhat curious process," she (Mrs. Kinzie) says. "The chimney is formed by four poles of the proper length, interlaced with a wickerwork of small branches. A hole or pit is dug near at hand, and with a mixture of clay and water, a sort of mortar is formed. Large wisps of hay are filled with this thick substance and fashioned with the hands into what are technically called 'clay cats' and then are filled in among tite framework of the chimney until not a chink is left. The whole is then covered with a smooth coating of wet clay, which is denominated 'plastering.' Be. tween the logs which compose the walls of the building small bits of wood are driven quite near togeth- er; this is called 'chinking,' and after it is done clay cats are intro- duced and smoothed over with the plaster. When all is dry, both walls and chimney are whitewashed and present a comfortable and tidy ap- pearance ...' When the 'sawmill arrived with. ids adjunct, the blacksmith shop, the log cabin took a step forward. Window sash . and glass filled the crude opening in the logs and wrought -iron hinges and nails se- cured flapping doors and shingles. As a matter of fact, the sawmill spelled the well-deserved doom of the log house." From "Architecture in. Old Chicago." by '1'honlas. E. Tall madgr. - Business angle.

M. here's a tip if that sack of sugar you just took out of storage is hard as a rock. Try placing the unopened sack in a hot oven for about five minutes, The heat will soften the sugar, and you'll find it perfect for immediate use.—Mrs..vl. S. If you have any material left over after making slipcovers, try making matching arm covers or protectors. My family gets the arms of the furniture soiled quickly, anG these protectors eliminate having to wash the whole slipcover. I use dress snaps to hold the arm covers secur- ly in place.—Mrs. C. S. 1 have a marble top from an old fashioned washstand as one of the work surfaces near my stove. It is pratically impossible to damage it. I can place hot skillets and pans directly from the stove on this sur- face. I use it all the time as a place to roll out noodles, cookies, aitd pie crust. It looks as nice as any lino- leum surface, and I think it's very practical.—Mrs. E. N. Jr, keep a small, fairly Stift brush near my laundry 'tubs. Before put- ting any garment with pockets into the wash, I turn the pockets inside out and brush them thoroughly. 1 use this same handy brush for lbrushing soapsuds on stubborn soil, such as neckbands, collars, and cuffs of shirts.
