1'br story this far: Virginia Ames is
aboard the Lanessa stage crossing the

She come to him. A few miles out of
T.annssa the stage Is held up by masked
bandits and a money box addressed to a
than named Barron at Santa Bonita, fro
seized. Orie of the bandits snatches a cameo
pin from Virginia's dress, causing the
letter concealed inside to fall to the
ground. The bandit leader returns it to
her. At Lanassa she sees Lt. Jim Randall
whom she had known and had been in love
with hack hone In Washington, Be Is coldly
formal and over her protests insists that
he and his company will escort her through
the 70 miles of Annelle country to Santa
Bonita.
CHAPTER 11
(Continued Front Last Week)
"We won't go into that, Barron. I
haven't the time." The lieutenant
turned to Virginia and took her
a,rm. He helped her almost roughly
into the carriage. When she was
seated under its top, he said, "I've
held up the march for an hour."
Virginia said demurely, "I'm very
sorry, lieutenant,"
He turned to O'Grady, who
$limbed into the driver's seat "Fol-
low me close, driver, I won't be
delayed longer"
-He walked to his horse and put
(tis foot into the stirrup. Stephen
Barron stepped down from the hotel
e teps.
"Randall, one minute."
Jim Randall faced him impati-
ently. "Well?"
"I'd like to know if you've gotten
et line on those bandits who robbed
elle stage last night."
"I've investigated and obtained a
description of two of them," the
army officer said. "I had time for
no further investigation. The hold -
sip shall be reported to Maj. Ben -
eon at Fort Winfield."
a, a: e
"Well -thanks," Barron said.
"Don't thank me, Barron," Jim
Randall said. "I'd like to arrest those
bandits, but not merely to accom-
modate you. You understand that,
I guess."
"I understand that," Stephen Bar --
iron smiled lazily as hlis fingers
rolled a cigarette. There was the
threat of sharp steel behind his
smile; he looked suddenly hard and
dangerous without changing at all.
"However, I suffered the only loss.
Two thousand dollars of mine was
in the box those bandits took. I
can't afford losses like that."
Virginia watched the two Hien;
they seemed like duelists. Their
!eyes measured each other. She
could sense their wills clash.
Jim Randall said, "It's not your
first loss in a stage holdup, Barron.
Nor likely to be your last. There's
something mighty queer that those
bandits prey only on you."•
Stephen Barron lighted his cigar-
ette. He said evenly, "Yes -mighty
queer."
"And 1 have a hunch you know,
what's back of these robberies."
"If 1 knew," Barron said evenly,
"I'd do something about them."
He turned, swept off his hat to
Virginia, and said, "Adios, Miss
Ames."
She smiled back, aware of Jiin
Randail's annoyed frown.
South out of Lannasa, the caval-
cade traversed a trail so level and
straight it seemed to reach into the
pale blue of space. Three army
freight wagons, big lumbering ve-
hicles, trailed behind Virginia's two -
horse carriage. Twenty troopers
formed the escort, marching behind
the wagons in double file. A ser-
geant and a bugler rode ahead of
Virginia's carriage, and at the head
of the column Jim Randall rode
with the scout, a leathery -faced
man wearing battered sombrero, a
baggy vest over faded gray shirt,
denim Levies tucked into worn
eowboy boots.
Hoofs made a clop -clopping
sound. Sabers clattered in scab-
bards. Saddles creaked, The wa-
gons gave out complaining noises.
Airzona sun blazed in a brass sky.
The miles stretched long and tor-
tuous.
Virginia challenged this new
country with eager eyes. It was the
country Phil Lawrence had adopted
nearly two years before. a rand
from which he tneaot to wrest his
fortune, It was a 7n:d. lonely
country.
Late in the afternoon, Jim Ran-
dall rode back to Virginia's car-
riage. His horse was fathered and
dust -begrimed, but he showed no
signs of trail -wear. He pointed in-
to the vast distance ahead.
"Beyond those granite hills show-
ing through the heat haze," he said,
lies better country. \lre'Il camp
there for the night."
The granite hills lay behind them
at dusk. Camp was made by a
stream bordered by cottonwood
trees. It was bivouac for the sol-
diers, but Jim Randall had a tent
erected for Virginia. They ate army
food in the glow of the campfires,
and the night swiftly closed down.
Stars began to sparkle against the
blue -black of the sky, and the moon
rose over faraway hills, a great
orange -tinted ball.
Virginia walked along the stream's
edge, her thoughts uneasy and
dwelling on Phil Lawrence. Slie
stopped and leaned back against
the slanting trunk of a tree, and
there Jim Randall found her.
"Don't wander too far," he said,
"I shan't" she assured hint.

Of course "we are what we eat"
is a very old and well-known adage.
Yet far too few of us pay any real
attention to it. Yet the food we
eat -or don't eat -has so much to
do with how we feel and the en-
joyment we get out of life.
Some time ago,a survey was made
of some families down in Pennsyl-
vania -average families, very much
like yours, who THOUGHT that
they were eating well. Yet a year
of better meal planning and wiser
selection of foods proved that ai
lot of so-called "minor" ailments
could' be almost done away with;
ailments such as colds, fatigue
"nerves" and so on.• Eating • the
wrong foods over a period of years
even showed up in poor bones and
teeth.
So I thought today I'd give you,
just a reminder, a little chart which
shows, in handy form, the different
food . groups and the number of
servings each person should get.

A tired mother asks my opinion
of her situation.
This mother Inas been married 28
years. She had only two children,
and she lost the son during this
last war. She has not got over
it. She has always been nervous
and in poor health, and a few
operations did not tend to calm lie
z'erves,
Now she feels that her daughter,
who is a mother too, is demanding
of her more than slte ran hope to
perform.
The daughter
is married, has
two youngsters.
She also has a
part - time job.
She Waves her
four-year-old in
a day nursery,
and her mother
cares for the
baby. The two
children are
with their
grandmother every evening, while
their mother and fathei go out
"I don't mind keeping the chil-
dren one or two nights a week,"
she writes, "while my daughter and
her husband go to a party or the
theater. But I think when they
just go to friends' homes, they
should be able to take the children
along.
"It is quite a job to keep babies
all the time, after your own are
grown and you're out of practice,
Every night after my daughter
takes Fier children home, I am a
nervous wreck. 1 love the children
dearly, and hate myself for quarrel-
ing with my daughter. But she
never does anything for me. She
never makes a bed after the chil-
dren's, naps, or does their disiies, or
picks up after them.
"My husband and my relatives,
and sometimes her own husband
feel that I am being. imposed upon.
Their home is not far off, but she
and her babies practically live at
my house. I do love the girl very
much, and I wish we could get
along better together."
* A grown daughter who has
* babies of her own should assume
* her proper responsibilities. To
* park them with her mother, and
* expect her to look after them
* every night while she and her
HI ST
al-gzezo3 V&A-
* husband enjoy themselves, is
* manifestly unfair. Not only is she
* robbiug herself of the companion-
* ship of her children, but she is
* taking advantage of her mother's
* kindness, And showing, in this
* case, precious little appreciation
* of all the service her mother to
* giving,
* T'his is the time for that
* mother to take her stand. She
i` must he relieved of some of
* these responsibilities which drain
* her strength. For her daughter's
* sake, too, the girl must be made
* to behave like a mother should,
* and not burden her mother with
* the duties which naturally are
* her own.
* 'It is all very well for a grand-
* mother to be en occasional baby-
* sitter, But to assume the entire
* care of even one child every day
* is unjust. It deprives her and
* her husband of any social life of
* their own (which this 'woman
* surely needs) and it imposes re-
* sponsibilities upon her which, at
* her age. are outrageous.
* The one way that this girl will
* come to respect her mother (and
4' so get along with her more
* pleasantly) is for that mother to
* take a firth stand, and refuse any
* longer to be imposed upon.

A mother can do too much for
her children. When they come to
take her for granted, trouble starts„
