CHAPTER III
SYNOPSIS
Dave Bruce, out of a job, ar-
rives at Wilbur Ferris' Cross -Bar
ranch. Curran, the foreman, prom- •
ises him a Job if he can break a
horse called Black Dawn, a notor-
ious killer. He succeeds, but real-
izes that Curran expected the
horse to kill him. He tells Curran
he can keep his Job. Curran, In
turn, strikes out at Dave, but
misses.
But that blow didn't land. It
passed harmlessly by Dave's head,
and next instant Dave had let
Curran have one that caught the
Lig foreman on the mouth and sent
him rocking backward. Roars of
delight broke from the throats of
the onlookers.
Dave turned from the yelling
Mexicans to Wilbur Ferris. "Yeah,
you got a swell way with strang-
ers," he said. He stooped, retriev-
ed his belt and buckled it on. He
glanced at Curran, who was Just
beginning to come back to con-
sciousness. "I ain't askin' you how
or why, but you knew that ,horse
was a killer and you wanted sport.
Well, I reckon you've had it. I'm
ridin'."
Ignoring Ferris' apologetic mum-
ble, he moved toward his bay. He
had reached its side when a re-
newed outburst of excitement
among the Mexicans caused him
to turn.
Making Meat Do Double Duty
Soda crackers rank high in wartime diet schedules, because they
are the staff of life dehydrated. They compress a large amount of
nutriment into a small space and are one of the few dehydrated food
products that require no preparation whatsoever preliminary to eat-
ing. They can be used most effectively to make a pound of meat do
double duty.
For instance, here's a recipe for the Christie Meat Loaf, using
gnly 21/2 cups of meat, but which provides enough to satisfy six
healthy appetites: 21/2 cups ground meat; 21/2 cups crushed Prem -
Soda Crackers; 1 grated onion; 1 small clove of garlic, grated;
tablespoon chopped parsley; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper;
cup evaporated milk. Mix together, place in greased loaf pan, bake
in moderate oven for 50 minutes. It's delicious—hot or cold!

"Broke him?" Nobody could break Black Dawn!
A rider was. galloping toward
the corral, the horse traveling at
racing speed. The horse came on
like a whirlwind, and a slim young
rider drew rein outside the corral
leaped to the ground, and left the
reins trailing.
"Lois! Lois!" shouted the Mexi-
cans.
* *
Curran was rising to his feet,
looking about him in a dazed way.
The newcomer ignored him.
She looked like a boy with her
short crop of fair hair, her stained
denim overalls, and the ..., worn
chaps with shoes that were mere
strips of. leather partly covering
the feet. Dave wasn't sure until
she spoke, and her voice was vi-
brant with indignation:
"Black Dawn! What have you
done to Black Dawn?"
She was looking at the horse,
which stood with down -hanging
head and made no move toward
her. The rest of the remuda, as
if recognizing her, came moving
toward her in a body, nickering,
and attempting' to nuzzle her
through the fence. She turned in-
dignantly to Wilbur Ferris.
"What have you done with Black
Dawn?" she asked.
"Why, you see, Lois, this here
feller has broke Black Dawn," an-
swered the ranchmau, indicating
Dave.
"Broke him? Nobody could break
Black Dawn!" cried the girl. "He's
mine! You asked me to come
down and ride him for you and
help with the other horses."
"That horse is a killer," Dave
spoke up. "That feller Curran told
me I'd get a job here if I broke
him. I reckon I've broke him. But
I ain't workin' here."
"You beast! You coward! He's
my horse!" cried the girl.
* * *
In an instant she had scrambled
over the fence and was standing
beside the black, fondling his head
and rubbing the sweat -stained
nose.
And Dave noticed a strange
thing. For the other horses had
gathered about the girl, and were
stretching out their heads to be
stroked and nipping gently at her.
But she took not the least notice
of them, only of Black Dawn.
What was It all about? Dave
couldn't understand. But he saw
two of the Mexicans move forward
and begin to let down the bars
of the corral gate, while neither
Ferris nor Curran uttered another
word.

The: bars were down now. But
not one of the unbroken herd made
a move for freedom. Instead, they
remained, clustered about the girl
as she stood with her arm about
Black Dawn's neck.
The girl leaped upon Black
Dawn's back. Without bridle or
even halter; she guided him to-
ward the entrance by the pressure
of her knees. As the horse passed
through, the rest of the remuda
followed, one by one, the Mexi-
cans scattering before them.
* * *
Only Curran made a movement
to intercept the herd. And the girl,
Lois, leaned forward and whisper-
ed in Black Dawn's ear. Instantly
the horse was once a demon of
fury. He wheeled, neck outstretch-
ed, teeth gleaming. Curran stag-
gered backward and collapsed in a
heap beside the corral, and next
moment the last of the herd was
through.
With the girl leading on Black
Dawn, the whole herd started at a
quick lope across the valley, leav-
ing •Dave standing, astounded, be-
side his bay. He saw that the
Mexicans were crossing themselves
as they looked after the horses.
Ferris came up to him.
"Ride? Yeah, you'd best ride!"
snarled the ranchman. "You ride
hard and fast and keep a'goin'. It
won't be healthy for you to show
your face in these parts again."
"Don't worry, Ferris. I'm leav-
in' you. Where I'm goin' is my
business," Dave answered.
He placed foot in stirrup, threw
his leg across the back of the bay,
and started along the valley in the
direction that the herd had taken.
He quickened his bay to a gal-
lop. The herd was about a quarter
of a mile ahead. Dave could see the
girl on the black,. leading it, and
noticed that every movement of
the animals was perfectly co-ordi-
nated. It was as if the mind of the
girl controlled and directed the
mass mind of the horses.
He rode the bay harder. He was
overtaking the herd now, keeping
well outside the clustered mass of
horses. Now he was abreast of it,
and now he was almost level with
Black Dawn in the lead.
If the girl saw him, she seemed
unaware of his presence. She was
loping steadily on, and the horses
kept their unbroken formation be-
hind her. The neck of the valley
was in plain sight, with the roofs
of Mescal not far away. A wagon
trail cane into view, with a
branching trail running across the
valley and winding up toward the
heights above.
At the branch, Lois suddenly
pulled in. though she had no reins
in her hands. The herd came to a
stop without a word of command.
Lois sat the black, waiting for
Dave to ride up.

Desserts That Are Different
After the lovely fresh fruits
are over and with the rationing
on sugar, the dessert problem is
more and more difficult. Some-
times the dessert is planned to
balance the meal; another time,
just to top the meal. But always
does the homemaker wish to have
something that looks attractive
and a little bit different. The
following, I hope, will meet these
demands.
Jelly Dessert With a Zest
Make a jelly powder dessert—
if
essertif you can get the jelly powder!
I like a bright red. Grate (peel-
ing : nd all) one of those pretty
red eating apples. Prepare the
jelly powder as usual and when
luke warm stir in the grafted
apple. Instead of the whipped
cream that we all felt indispens-
able, try this: Beat the whites of
two eggs very stiffly, add a little
sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon
juice. Add 14 cup of grated
apple the same as in your jelly.
Use this as a topping for the
dessert and see if the family does
not ask for more.
Apple Dream Dessert
Use fresh, thick applesauce
sweetened to taste and very fine,
dry breadcrumbs that have been
browned lightly in frying pan
with a bit of butter and brown
sugar. Layer the browned crumbs
and applesauce in serving dish,
PERFECTION FIT
If your figure is no longer slim
as a soda -straw you'll like Pattern
4548. The smoothly fitting,
straight -cut panels of the slip,
the perfectly cut panties are com-
fortable beyond words. In addi-
tion, home sewn lingerie beats all
for long wear and is most appre-
ciated as a gift.
Pattern 4548 is available in ma-
tron's sizes 16, 18, 20, 34, 36, 38,
40 42, 44, 46. Size 16 takes
21L yards 39 -inch fabric.
Send TWENTY CENTS (20c)
in coins (stamps cannot be ac-
cepted) for this pattern to Anne
Adams, Room 421, 73 Adelaide
St. West, Toronto. Write plainly
size, name, address, style number.
having applesauce on the top and
bottom of the dish. Chill thor-
oughly for several hours in re-
figerator. Of course a layer of
whipped cream (of the Olden
Days!) with a touch of jelly
makes it very attractive. Other-
wise it can be served with plain
cream cr custard.
Orange -Cherry Pie
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cupful sugar
1/2 cupful water
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 cupful orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
J cup of chopped maraschino
cherries
Mix the cornstarch and sugar
in upper part of double boiler.
Add water and cook over direct
heat, stirring constantly until it
thickens, then add the fruit juices,
cherries and butter. Place over
hot water and cook, stirring fre-
quently, for 15 minutes. Beat the
egg yolks and stir in a little of
the hot mixture. Mix thoroughly,
then acid egg mixture to contents
in the double boiler. Cook, stir-
ring constantly, only about two
minutes. Remove from fire, cool
and pour into a baked pie shell.
Spread roughly with a meringue
made from the egg whites, add-
ing a little sugar and a teaspoon
of cornstarch. Bake slowly 15
minutes or until a' light brown.
Serve cold.
