The Weekly Diet For Soldiers, Sailors A soldier or a sailor eats about one and a half times as much as a civilian, says the St. Thomas Times -Journal. He reduces civilian supplies only by the differences between what he ate as a civilian and what he eats now—the dif- ference between 514 pounds a day compared with 3% pounds in civil life. The U.S. War Food Administration says the average weekly diet for a man in train- ing includes: 6 1-6 pounds of meat; 7 eggs; 31/z pounds of fresh milk; 11/4 pounds of evaporated milk; ice cream once a week; rat least 1 pound of butter, marga- rine and other fats; 41,5 pounds of bread, cereal' and other grains; 6 pounds of potatoes; 5 pounds of fresh and canned vegetables; 41 pounds of tomatoes and ci- trus fruit; 2 pounds of other fruit. For men quartered in' the United States the Army and Navy require at least a three-month reserve supply; for men abroad,, a nine-month supply. CHAPTER VIII Dave whirled, hie hand upon his gun butt. For just an instant he saw a face at the window, the face of a masked man, The pane was open, and the shot had been aired at a distance of about ten feet. Dave drew and fired back al- most upon the • instant, but still too late. The face had already dis- appeared, and the slug merely whined across the mesa, over which the faintest light of dawn was just beginning to appear. Sim- ultaneously Dave heard the sound of a body scrambling through the dense brush at the rear of the cabin. Dave thrust his gun back into its holster and leaped toward the door. Stopped for an instant, turn- ed back and looked at Hooker. The lamp upon the shelf cast only a faint reflection, but it was light .enough for Dave who had seen death often enough, to realize that the old man's days were ended, Hooker's dream had coine true. In another instant Dave was through the entrance of the cabin and running across the mesa in the direction that the assassin had taken. He could still hear him crashing through the undergrowth, but in the faint light of dawn Dave wasted half a minute before he could find the trail. By the time he had done so, the murderer had mounted his horse and was gallop- ing away down the mesa. e • * By the time Dave could get back and mount his bay there would be not the slightest chance of captur- ing the man, who was now disap- pearing in the tangled growth of jackpine that separated the upper mesa from the one beneath it. Nevertheless, Dave ran back and, mounting his horse bare- back, forced it along the trail through the semis and galloped to the mesa's edge. It was beginning to grow fairly light, but nothing was to be seen. The only living thing was the buzzard, harbinger of death, still floating up the upper DAW N eurrepts of the air. Wherever the murderer had gone, he had certainly not ridden clown into the valley, He must have struck some trail in the almost impenetrable scrub that rose like a lowwall along the mesa's edge. Reluctantly Dave turned the bay and rode back. It was half light in the cabin now, and Dave blew out the lamp. He looked once more at Hooker. The blood had ceased to flow, and the old man was ly- ing ying white and stark upon the bed. Death must have been instantane- ous. * * * Dave saddled his bay and rode off down the trail In the direction of Mescal. There was little that he could do now, except inform Sheriff Coggswell and join a posse to take up the trail of Hooker's murderer. As he rode, he revolved in his mind all possible reasons for the dastardly deed. Had the assassin supposed old Hooker to be in possession of a hoard of gold, and fired before he had seen Dave in the room? Or- was Lonergan involved, and had old Hooker talked too much In the Wayside Rest? The shrill neighing of broncs re- called Dave to his surroundings. Emerging upon the lower mesa, he saw Lois seated on Black Dawn, with the rest of the herd massed near the scrub and look- ing at him. Dave rode up to the girl. "I got some bad news for you," he said. "May as well tell you right away. Your dad's been shot dead. Killed less than half an hour ago by a murderin' skunk who fired through the window, while we was talkin' together. I went after him, but he got away from me." a * * 'Lois' expression hardly changed, only that set, bitter look came into her eyes again, and her mouth hardened. "So you killed him, did you?" she said. "For what? Did you think he had money? You've found out your mistake by now, I guess.

Economy size,180 pills, $1.50.. Well, why don't you shoot me, too?" "You're talkin' nonsense, Miss Lois, which ain't to be wondered at under the circumstances," an- swered Dave. "I'm ridin' for the • sheriff. You'd best go back and wait in the cabin. There wasn't nothing I could do for him. He was killed instantly." T h e girl's expression didn't change. She sat Black Dawn, watching Dave intently. Suddenly she swung round on the horse's back and gave' a shrill whistle. In- stantly the broncs disappeared through the scrub. And in another instant Lois had kicked the out- law horse in the flanks and was galloping widlly in the direction of Mescal. Dave tried to follow her, but the black had the speed of the wind. He galloped at full speed down- hill, over declivities down which the bay could only pick his way cautiously, to avoid plunging head- long. By the time Dave reached the lower slopes, Lois was a mere speck in the distance. a w * Before he reached the neck of the valley, Dave saw Lois riding back, accompanied by two men, one of whom he recognized as Sheriff Coggswell. The other, from the badge he wore, was evidently a deputy. As Dave rode up, the two drew swiftly and covered him. Dave, without raising his hands, reined in grimly beside the sher- iff, who nodded to the deputy. The latter leaned forward and extract- ed. Dave's gun from his holster, at the same time running his hands over his sides in search of a concealed weapon. aSo yuh think I killed Mr, Hook- er?" ooker?" Dave inquired. "I was on my way to tell you." "You can tell me now, Bruce," answered Coggswell. "If Hooker's dead, as you told Miss Lois, there's no partic'lar hurry, I reckon." t e ,. Dave briefly recounted his story of the killing, while Coggswell and the deputy listened in stony sil- ence. Lois, seated on Black Dawn, watched him with hate In her eyes, but not a sound came from her lips either. "So yuh claim Hooker woke up before dawn and started talkie," grunted the sheriff. "And while you two was talkin', this masked feller shot him through the win- der? How about that gun, Sims?" "One ca'tridge fired," said the deputy, who had been examining it, "A forty-five." "How about that. Bruce?" asked Coggswell. "I told you I fired a shot at the murderer. I couldn't get further sight of him in that scrub and it being almost dark." "Well, now, I'll tell yuh, Bruce," said Coggswell. "Yore story sounds kinder queer to me. And yore pay - in' that two hundred yesterday, and takin' advantage of Hooker to go pardners when he was drunk— which don't hold good in law—was queerer. And yestidday yuh rode up to the Cross -Bar and picked a quarrel with Curran and beat him up. All of which puts yuh under suspicion for the murder of Hook- er, Bruce. "So I'm arrestin' yuh, and if yo're innocent, as yuh claim, yuh'd best put out yore hands and come along quiet. And if yuh don't I'll drill yuh!" (Continued Next Week) On their way from the government-owned Victory Aircraft, Ltd., plait at Milton, Ont., where they were built, to the ferry com- mand airfield at Dorval, Que., far delivery to England and hte war front, three giant Lancaster bombers are pictured above circling Parliament Hill in salute to the Canadian Capital and the federal government buildings. The powerful craft circled over the city sev- eral times in formation. The Lancasters were part of the November production at the Government-owned Victory plant, sister ships of the famed "Ruhr Express," the first Canadian -built Lancaster, which recently figured in operations over Berlin. With a wingspread of 102 feet, A 69 -foot fuselage and a bonsb ciapacity of eight tons, the Lan - easter is recognized as the larg- *»t, fastest and most devastating 'heavy bomber in existence today. Powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlin motors (the only parts not made in Canada), a Lancas- ter can hold 2,000 gallons of gasoline and its 33 -foot bomb bay could accommodate a Spitfire without its wings. In seeing the Lancaster trio, the people of Ottawa saw samples of the plane that has been de- scribed as one of the direst threats to the .Axis yet devised. and possibly the greatest contri- bution to the promotion of vic- tory ns.ade by the workers of the Donsinian so far.
