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, (To Be Continued) 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.

Nat- ional Woman's Party cloys] their biennial convention in Wasltiogtou last month with new plans for push- ing an equal rights amendment to the Constitution In the coming seg - sloe of Congress. Miss Buck's address, highlight of the three-day convention, was a plea for women to "come out of their seclusion, their safety, their irresponsibility toward the policies which compels us to 'chaos and war." "COME OUT OF SECLUSION!" Describing women and Negroes as the biggest minority groups in the UnitedStates today, she warn- ed: • "Unless women realize their re- sponsibility, neither we nor any other nation will achieve true'de- moctacy, and as the machines of 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."

T A L T A - The Most Gifts Half the .Christmas Presents Go To Children --Men Re- ceive Fewer Than Half As Many as Women Find Women Get By SADIE B. CHAMBERS 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."

Out of every 1,000 women who opened gaily wrapped paei•:ages on Dee. 25, 121 got slips and panties, 93 drew nightdresses and pyjamas and 39 found housecoats or neg. llgees.

TREND FOR MEN There must be something in that legend about the vanity of the male, for gifts of clothes went to thousands of bis sex. Daytime Fashion Favorites Noted Skirt Fullness introduced by, Gatherings and Unpressed Pleats Style points noted in daytime togs: Skirt fullness is introduced by means of gatherings or unpress- ed pleats; on the more casual skirts there may be tucks stitched well over the hips. Sporty -looking bodices are worn with collars and revers open; some necklines may be high and round. SOFTER SHOULDERS Pique trimmings are freshly'.,, crisp and not overdone; pockets are fulled onto the edges o: jackets and set vertically into skirts con- cealed under their fullness. Ruffles may be seen spiraling on skirts or frilling at the neck and Hips of two-piece frocks; belts may bring a color accent or be of the fabric and lined with one of the shades in the print. Interesting shoulder treatments are noted in epaulet folds, soft gathers, and sometimes in little bows set on the tip to add ,soft' width. Fine Watches Given In. "Beat Hitler Drive" Railroaders are noted for their fine watches so it is not surpris- ing that many fine examples have been given to the Canadian Pacific Railway employees' Gold- en Bomber Fund, to buy a mod. ern $100,000 bombing plane for the R,C.A,F. H. Dubois, Can- adian Pacific clocklnan, Windsor Station, Montreal, examines some of the 160 watches received from Eastern Canada. He found many of them of great intrinsic value and these will be sold as they are instead of gold being extracted and sold, The watch in his handl is one of the beet yet received. It wsa presented in 1885 to J. G. Griffith by Canadian Pacific en- gineers in the Canadian Rockies. Soothe those rea, inflamed nostrils relieve sneez- ing and sniffling with Monthole- tum.
