CHAPTER XXIV
Barry stood looking at her a lone
while, ''I've been thiukirig about
,that, You dad come :easing my
glue; outside of that 1 don't know
Now we could ever have got away,
Sarboe and I. And I thought of
something else, You knew, when I
told you we were woing where Sar -
hoe was, that Tom Haveril's men
would be there before us—"
"Bu t "
"Yes, I know. You couldn't teal
me that, but you did do all that you
could to keep ine from going there.
1 remember, Lucy."
• 'Anda ow you de` know that I
was telling you the truth?"
"Yes. You gave me every chance
yob. could Lucy." For an instant
his eyes flashed up, then they
•darkened again as he .muttered
heavily: "I'm grateful to you, Lucy,
but I'm almost sorry. You see, it
just makes me love you all the
more, and I guess it would be bet-
ter for me if I could hate yon in-
stead. You're Tont Ilaveril's now—
end FTom Haveril isn't Laredo—
and I've no longer any excuse to
St) out and kill bilin-"
Lucy said.: ".Are you crazy, Barry
Haveril? You know I'm married to
Tom; no matter who he was, could
%you think I'd—I'd marry a man who
killed him?"
Things May Get Clearer
"Of course -I couldn't. I didn't
ever think of it that way; I didn't
get that far." He made a weary
gesture of a hand across his eyes.
'What are you going to' do with
me now, Barry?"
"1 don't dtnow what to do. We
can't do anything tonight; it's' too'
late and you're worn out. Get some
sleep if you can. Maybe by morning
things will be clearer."
Barry looked up and their eyes
met.
"It's hell, that's all," he said heav-
ily. "I love you so, Lucy—and I
haven't any right."
She plunged into her newspaper
again, reading every liue. Later she
dozed, dreaming fantastic dreams,
and started wide awake to find
the fire still blazing, Barry still
brooding at the table.
She was dozing again and itwas
almost dawn; Barry was just going
to the door, meaning to saddle the
horses, when they lheard the cau-
tious steles outside of someone coni'
lug guardedly to the cabin door.
At the door Barry stood up to
one side, and asked curtly:
"Well? Who's out there?"
"That you, Sundown?" came an
excited, hvgil;pltched voice,
"It's good old Timberline!" Barry
said to Lucy, and opened the door.
"What's happened, Timber?" cle-
mancled Beery, getting the door
shpt.
"We're On The Run"
".A. plenty," said Timberline.
"We're on the run. to save as our
skelps, that's what."
"Who's 'Us' and wbo's 'They'?" -
detnanded Barry. "You saw, 'We're
On the rut:' Who? And what's
after you?"
"Yult asll..Who's on the rut; well,
Ws me an' your sister Lucy an'
Ken March. Them to'n's down in
the pines, waitin' for rue to look
in here an' see if mebbe .yule dill
collie this way. Keu March has
got a bullet through one laig an'
an ear mostly shot off. He's serer'rt
a saddle boil. Wilo done it? Shucks,
who would? It was Tom Haveril
au' the of ,Tuftge tan' a back o'
their .varmints."
Timberline asked a second ling
of :Barbee and the farm on the
bunk, "Who's thein tellers, Sun-
down?„
Barry said: '''!'ha is Sarboe: He's
a friend 'of mines now, Timber --41
Siieitti, do yon get me? And the
other man --go take a good look
at him."
"It ain't—it atn't Laredo,. Is it,
Sendown 1"
"Yes," said Barry. "That's good.
You go to ber. We'll be aloine"
When Barry and Timberline join-
ed thein, they bore the unconscious
ISSUE 1—'41
Jesse Coutoy---Laredo—ill, their
arms, wrapped in a blanket, Barry
said:
"Itoll.D, Duey; hello, Ken. You
folks rifle along, and take Lucy
with you, .She'll be better off with
you than anywhere else for a few
days; until anyhow site knows
which way to turn. It's about sixty
miles on to Pa's place. I guess the
house is still standing. Timber and
I'll j.ein you later. One or ale other
of us will ride in on you tomorrow."
The three rode off through the
pines.
"Now, which a -way?" asked Tim-
berline irritably.
"You think that they'll be able
to find my hide-out here," said
Barry. "1 don't, Just the same, we'll
move oft onto the mountainside a
bit to a sheltered place where we
can hole up. \Ve can keep an eye
on the cabin all day. If they don't
show rp before dark, we'll move
back into it."
"We'll Straighten it Out"
So the three of them carried the
halt dead Laredo Kid the half mile
to the place Barry had in mind,
Sarboe .was forever going to
stand and look at Jesse Conroy and
coming back to Barry to look at
him dumbly and pleading as a dog
looks at its master.
"This boy's crazy to tell yuh
somethin', Sundown," said Timber.
Halt way thorough the next day
Timberline. admitted: "Well, I
'reckon yule was right for once,
Sundown; that skulduggery bunch
o' hell -bounds lost . our track." He
- ruminated, then added, grown sud-
denly waspish, "Yuh're {akin' it
layin' down, are yuh?"
Barry cocked up his eyebrows.
"Taking what?"
. "They've chased us out, kilt Juan,
stole our gold mine, an' Felt ain't
said a word, I-Iow about it?"
"We'll straighten that out," re-
turned Barry. coolly.
They decided there was no need
o1 three men sticking on here to
feed a sick man soup and take care
of ,his •bandage, And they did want
to know whether all was well with
Ken March and the two Lueys.
"You ride along after them, Tim-
ber," said Barry,

Lady Byng Notes
Change In Canada
Widow of Former Governor-
General, Here After 14 Years,
Finds Dominion A "Neater
and Tidier" Place
Canada, says Lady Byng, widow
of Lo•rcl Byng of Vimy, Governor-
Geueral:of Canada 1921-26, has be-
come a much "neater and tidier"
place in the last 20 years, Even
the telephone poles look better.
"I used to want to laugh, to see
the telephone poles marching
across the country, all shapes and
sizes, leaning in every direction
like a lot of drunken soldiers," .
Lady Byng said.
SEES FINE HIGHWAYS •
".But a few years seem to have
cbanged all that, Now there's a cer-
tain symmetry and or'clerliuese
about it. Roads are broader and
really fine highways now. The tele-
graph. poles are straight and pre-
cise."
Lady Byng admitted she rather
missed those telephone poles of
other days, the signposts of a young
nation spreading itself out and put-
ting -its roots into the ground.
Only her graying Hair belled the
youthfulness of her brisk energy
and bright brown eyes are she visi-
ecl at Byng House, residence of Col.
Henry Willis O'Connor, Ottawa,
where ady Byng is staying. She
said the memory of happy years
spent at Rideau "Hall with Lord
Byng, the brisk climate of the Do-
minion and her many Canadian
friends had helped her decide to
return to Canada for the duration
of the war,
RAPID CHANGES
One of the iuspiration3 of a young
country is to observe the rapidity
with which it changes, she said
as she explained her surprise and
pleasure la the development of
eastern Canada.
"Ottawa was a beautiful little
city when 1 was here before,' she
added. "Now it has quite the air
al a capital."

"COME OUT OF SECLUSION!"
Describing women and Negroes

• "Unless women realize their re-

war grind on, the ver ideal of
democracy will one day perish
from the earth. The world needs
the opinion of women as well as
men."

SIMPLE DESSERTS
Firstly, I should like to thank
one and all for the lovely greet-
ing, hest wishes and messages,
and encouraging remarks about
this column. Here is hoping that
it may continue to be what I wish
it to be, a practical aid to all in
solving daily problems.
After the holiday I think we
all long for a quietness and sirir-
plieity, and when it comes to des-
serts, not only do we wish to pre-
pare simple things, but we nee'1
the change to lightei dishes.
Simple Baked Custard
For every egg, use 1 cup m!ila,
1 tablespocn of sugar — and a
dash of nutmeg. I allow one
egg for two in a custard.
Beat the egg well, add the su-
gar, mixing thoroughly, then add
the milk. Bake in individual
molds, setting in dish about half
full of water. The oven should
be medium. Bake until silver
knife conies out clean.
Just Plain Junket
I can't understand why more
people do not use junket as des-
sert. Firstly, it is non -starchy,
secondly, to using milk one of the
necessary foods and then it is
simple to prepare. It Can be
varied and dressed up in so litany
ways. I much prefer the plain
junket which •cite may flavor to
one's own taste. The very simple
directions for making are always
on the package. I vary the su-
gar for sweetening with brown
sugar, which gives a delightful
caramel flavor, then again cocoa
may be added. Make just as if
you are preparing cocoa — then
ocol to lukewarm and add junket
tablets as directed.
Applesauce
We are all requested to use
more apples both for health and
commercial reasons. Choose the
best cooking apples; always have
applesauce fresh. A delightful
Variation: add the whites of eggs
when the applesauce is about
cool. 1 allow one egg white to
2 ups of fruit. After the white
of eggs is folded in — place in
sherbet glasses top with whipped
cream sprinkled with rolled or
chopped nuts and you have a des-
sert for any occasion. Then if
you wish something just a bit
more elaborate try this:
Apple and Marshmallow Jelly
1 package strawberry jelly
powder
2 medium sized. red apples
6 marshmallows
Prepare jelly powder in usual
way — grate the apples, peeling
too, ,and when jelly is a honey -
like consistency, add the apples
and marshmallows quartelred.
This may be served plain or with
whipped cream topped with a
cherry. If you have not tried
this do so now. Place canned
peaches in sherbet glass, pour
over to cover peaches a boiled
custard tcp with maraschino
cherry of if you prefer top with
whipped cream and sprinkle with
nuts.

Give All Children
"Chance to Shine"
Woman Professor Has Rem-
edy for Problem Children
Socalled "problem children" us-
ually find the behavior of adults
a great problem to them, and
should he treated by their elders
with "sympathetic understanding,"
in the belief of Mabel E. Kirk, as-
sociate professor of education at
Pennsylvania State College.
Miss Kirk said the proper under-
standing of the child will prevent
difficulties while an appropriate
environment may remove the caus-
es of undesirable behavior.
NEED 'SYMPATHETIC UNDER. -
STANDING"
"Tho whole situation probably is
much :more aunoyiug to then (the
problem children) than to their
elders, and to them the behavior
of adults is a great problem."
She advised "understanding par-
ents and teachers" to provide group
activities and encourage a suffic-
ient variety of experiences to give
all types of children "a chance to
shine," and to "be sure you are
thinking of the child's own good
add not of his 'effect en your corn
fort and your settee of superiority."
