The sweet morning air coming in through the window lift- ed the soft hair on her forehead; she was pale but her blue eyes shone. Something in his Iook and his manner angered her. "I know why, Jane!" ' e ex- claimed bitterly. "I'm sorry, Max, I must go — I'll see you again at breakfast." He caught her wrist violently. "You shan't go! You're in love with that fellow!" "You've no' right to say that to me!" Jane flashed at him angrily; then she remembered that he had been ill, and relented. "It's all over, Max; can't we 1• friends?" He shook his head, folding his arms and standing there, motion- less. His expression was sullen, but there was a strange light in his • dark- eyes. "Oh, if you don't want to be friends!" Jane turned away proud- ly. "I'm going out now. Max!" She lifted her chin scornfully. He was behaving like a sulky boy, she thought: she liked to see a man lose like a good sport, like — well, like :: brave man! Stenhart said nothing at all, but she was aware of his tall figure mo- tionless there behind her. She felt his eyes on her hack, but she hur- ried away, ran down the slope to the stable and - swunz7 herself into the saddle. I'll be back presently, Jose," said she lightly, giving Tex his head. * * * The vacquero stool watching her ride off, a smile on his dark face. "She some rider!" he thought. Tex had cleared the bridge al- most at a bound. The horse was full of pep today. ready to run. but Jane rode like a boy. The man stood watching. shadi g his eyes with a hand burnt black by the sun. He was surprised at the way she went. So surprised that he jumped when a voice spok sharply at his elbow. "Saddle one of the horses, 1 want one right off!" The vacquero stared. "You able to ride, Meester Stenhar'?" "Get a move on you! Saddle up, I've got to go with Miss Teller and she's way ahead n •1" Jose grinned, saddling a steady horse for this sick man. "He catch up with senorita, eh?" The grin widened into silent laughter. But he was amazed at the ease with which Stenhart mounted; he did not know that sheer rage can carry even a sick man far. a: * The flame of jealousy within him leaped up and tortured him. He saw nothing of the beauty of the day, the near hills green and brown, the distant blue peaks against the blue sky, the shadows in the can- yons, anyons, the wooded spurs, the slopes of Las Palontas falling behind him. Presently his horse forded a wide stream. It ran swiftly, and it seemed to him his ear caught the sound of a cataract somewhere in the ravine, then he saw Jane so close ahead that he reined in vio- lently. His hors: plunged and he was near discovery. But, happily for hint, the girl took no thought of being followed; she had found an unused trail and turned into it. For an instant Stenhart thought he had lost her and is heart beat stormily, then he sighted her through the trees. He dismounted, hid his horse in the brush and fol- lowed on foot. Ten yards up the trail she had slipped from th sad- dle and vanished up a steep ascent. Passing Tex, where he was crop- ping grass, Stenhart crept after her, treading softly, and, as he climbed, the tumult of the . taract caste nearer ant' nearer it must be below him now, hidden by the trees. tsar up he caught a glint -se of a slender figure still ahead and he followed doggedly, * * * Sherwin had slept heavily, phys- ically exhausted, and it was sunrise when he awoke. The solitude of the wooded height seemed drench- ed in peace. He saw only great tree -trunks about hint, and the sun had not yet penetrated their dense shade. Somewhere a bird sang sweetly. For a moment it sect -d impossible that he had fallen asleep with hatred in Hs heart, but his first waking consciousness brought it all back; he was to stay here, hidden, natil he killed Stenhart! Nothing less would satisfy his thirst for vengeance. He opened his food pack and ale sparingly; there was a lovely spring close at hand, and he lacked for nothing now. Itis meal finished he rose and began to explore the place; it was evident that Jordan had not returned. There was no sound but those innumerable small noises of life in the woods, and the music of the cataract far below him. He moved on in p: 'mind lei- sure, and since he did not now in- tend flight he had ample time on his hands. • * * * Presently he came upon a rocky ledge and, as he climbed, his foot slipped, and he rolled down into some brambles and felt a strong current of air. Only slightly bruised from his fall, he rose to his knees and found that he had torn the brambles away from the open mouth of a cavern. The keen breeze that came from it lifted the hair on his forehead; there must be another opening somewhere. Curiosity made hint explore carefully. No one had known of this spot; it was webbed with cobwebs, chocked with roots, and he pushed them aside and entered, stooping. To his surprise, he found himself in a cavern of considerable size. Away from it rats a passageway through which the wind blew keen- ly. He struck a match, found an old bit of wood on the floor, the broken root of some tree, and suc- ceeded in firing it. Carrying his improvised torch carefully, he ex- plored and found a twisting passage that led downward a long way. He could not follow it to the end with- out more light; his torch was fail- ing him, and he recollected the candle in Mac's cabin. He turned back at once. He had chanced on an ideal hiding place and he must know it thoroughly, know, too, if Jordan had found the other opening. Emerging, he re- arranged the screen of brambles and made his way, more cautiously, toward the cabin. There was al- ways the possibility that Jordan or his pals might return there, But it was vacant, and he had ample time to look for what he needed most, candles and matches. He found only the one half -burnt candle and two matches, evidently tossed there by the watcher after he had lighted his pipe. There was an old blanket, a remnant of Mac's camping — out there, and a coil of rope. Sherwin stood still, staring at that coil of rope; suddenly it had an immense significance — it brought into his mind a full-fledged scheme of vengeance! The cave and the rope!

MONK MOTHER TURNS KIDNAPER Clutching one of her own youngsters and one she kidnaped from a neighbor, this monkey mother clings to bars near ceiling of her cage and screamsdefiance at attempts to recover the stolen baby. An inmate of the Treffich Pet Shop in New York the monkey re- cently bore twins. One of them died and she promptly appropriated one of another monkey's offspring to make up the deficit. This was latest monkey headache for the proprietor. Recently over 100 of the simians escaped and overran the neighborhood. NnEs ONE F By Gwendoline P. Clarke * * * * column I thought it night be a good idea to open the hatchway and let my little chickens opt for their first run. Judging by my early chicks, who took a' .jut three days to pick up enough courage to r..n in and out freely, I was sure this brood would react in just about the .,arae way. But I didn't k. ow my chickens. It e;.11y wasn't such a good idea—as I found out when I went back about half -an - hour later. There were about thirty of theist out in the run and two others chasing around the backyard with one of the big chick- ens as an escort, The little rascals must have squeezed through a knot-hole—there was no other way tl.ey could i , e got out. The next thing was to catch them. • If you havtl't already' done it, try catching little chicks running loose in long t;:.^ss. It is quite a stunt. By the time I had them cornered the chicks were still quite active but 1 was nicel_ out of breath. Then it looked like rain ., I decided it would , c better to 'run them alll back into the pen. 'Nuff said about that little job—and to think that ten short days ago those same chickens v, e r e innocent-Iooking gs. a, * 4, This particular breed of chickens are hybrids—a cross between New Hampshires and Barred Rocks -- 1' very first time I have experi- mented with chick.,n other than Barred Rocks. Already the female of the species look like regular young pullets. I expect they will be laying eggs in a wc.k or two at the rate they are .naturing. It is far more fun watchi in this bunch develop than just plain Rocks. They even seem to have a little intelligence—which • is unusual for chickens. But something seems to tell nee I niay be it: for a happy time, just the same. * And front chickens we come to the combined subjects of eggs, manure and a finger-wave—except that the order should be reversed. It was like this—I was sitting un- der the dryer at the hair -dressers and thumbing my way through a magazine ,'.igest, when my atten- tion was ca.,ght by an article deal ing with products of the soil, which stated that armors were using too • little manure and too much com- mercial fertilizer, and that as a re- sult a circle of Vitamin B. defic- iency was keine set in motion. Be- cause in, fficient manure was be- ing used oh the lan,. cattle 7razing or. pasture were not getting their natural vitamins. This meant less vitamins in -nilk, beef and butter. Hens kept in clo..e quarters and fed commercial feed., and on grain lacking in vitamins were also affec- ted with e result that eggs were less nutritious than th se that we used to get in the oht days when Biddies le; d the ru• of the barn- yard and sdratched thLir time away in what were considered as the most to 'de places. * * 4r Now what I am leading tit to is this: The eg; business has become a highly specialisct business in• deed, To be sure of obtainittl, first gra 'c eggs the hens must be kept shut up at all imc . The for. mula for their feed is prepared as carefully as a baby's. They tnust , always have clean litter in which to scratch, clean water to drink, it fact notion v must be left for their Lo get at which would in any way contaminate the eggs which they produce. The result is lemon -col- oured yolks, which is what the graders demand itt a Grade A. egg. If the yolk is dark yellow then it is classified as "heavy" rad put down as Grade B. One wonders if, in our desire for purity products, we are swinging too far the other way. By trying ..Iways to improve on nature are we defeating our own ends, cheating ourselves of the rudiments of healthful living? * Just recently Partner has been pretty busy with the scythe cutting down weeds and long grass which he has gat'tered up and thrown in to the hem;. And how they love it. They are neve: tired of picking at it—but they are eating far less laying -stash. As a result we are now getting eggs •.vith almost or- ange colour yolks, eggs rich in. vitamins and minerals, because. ,as everyone knows there is no better se•urce for disease -resisting goal - ides than fresh green grass. The hens are getting it, passing it along to the eggs, the people who eat the eggs will benefit, But we shall lose out because the rich dark -look- ing yolks will be put down as Grade B, e„gs. But Partner says, because he knows the grass is good fo • the hens, they', , going to get it for a few weeks, anyway.

Christ's Farewell Feast This was Christ's great farewell feast of love, the last intercourse with His disciples before His cap- ture, condemnation and death. This is the last Passover our Lord will eat on earth, He will not partake in any further festivities till Be rejoices in the completed Kingdom. This bread which Christ took represented the offering up of His broken body as an atonement for our sins. He grve Himself, His whole, 'Icing, for our sins. It was the sacrifice of I•limself. His blood was about to be shed and there was but a short trate before His great atoning work would be con- sumated on Calvary and in His resurrection. Christ had revealed God's name to His disciples. They were God's not simply by creation, but His children because they had believed on His Son and received Him into their hearts and lives. Jesus now turns from praying for Himself to praying for His immediate followers. Jesus had re- vealed to them the nature and character of God. This lay at the foundation of all .tat He had done for theist. While our Lord on His part had revealed God to them, they on their part had kept God's word. Christ gave to His disciples not the results of His reasoning but words direct from God. We car not afford to make light of Christ's words or to doubt theist, because they are 'God's words. Prayer Of Intercession The vision and faith of the Lord embraced the whole church to the end of time. We who believe to -day were in the mind of the Saviour in His great intercessory prayer. The prayer was for all who should in any age believe in Him as their Saviour. Believers in the days to conte should become His followers through the word of the apostles. Jesus' prayer for all believers was that they night all be one. He longed and prayed for the unity of His disciples in all times. This prayer has been largely answered. Beneath all seeming differences all true followers of Jesus are one. Through the unity or Christians the world was to be brought to be- lieve that God had sent Jesus. A Church is an unanswerable argu- ment for the Christian faith. The Health Way Nutrition experts say that the value of vegetables is enhanced if they are cooked in their jackets, in very little water, with the lid on the saucepan. They are against peeling vegetables, claiming that this wastes not only food itself but takes away something fom the food quality, too. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee By Roberta Lee 1.
