"Who is Steve Barron?" she
asked. "What is he?"
''So it's Steve notv," Jim Randall
said; his eyes and voice mocked
her.
"He stood b3 me when we
thought there was danger," she
said,
"Good for him:" Jim said. Then:
"But he didn't tell you that he is
a gambler?"
"A gambler?" She knew the
shock of disappointment; she had
thought of Stephen Barron different.

Virginia had not expected to find
sleep that night. Danger made the
darkness static. The nights noises
were startling. The howl of a coy-
ote, the hoot of an owl: eerie sounds
always and doubly so now. But her
body was weary from the day of
hard travel. Sleep came swiftly.
She awoke once and lay tensely
list e n i n g. Low-pitched voices
reached her from somewhere out-
side, Jim Randall's voice first.
"His. fiancee, Barron," he was
saying. "A very nice person. Much
too young to be hurt!"
Steve Barron laughed softly.
"You giving me orders, Randall?"
"Call it that if you like," Jim
Randall replied. •

that I'm willing to forget-"
"You listen to me, Barron!" Jim
said savagely; then his voice fell
away to an angry murmur. And
Barron snapped, "Not yet it hasn't!"
Their voices moved away, were
lost. Virginia lay in the darkness
of ,her tent shivering. Afraid. They
might have been discussing her -
and Phil. She knew they had been!
Then - her heart was furiously
pounding- something was wrong.
Phil must be in trouble.
CHAPTER IN:
In the bleak gray of early dawn,
Jini Randall came to Virginia's tent
and called to her its a low, urgent
voice that snapped her wide awake.
She sat up and pushed aside the
heavy array blankets. She saw him
outside the tent's opening, a tall
grey form in the faint light. His
face was indistinct, but she had the
impression that it was grave.
"Yes, I'm awake," she said.
"May I come in?"
"Just a minute...." She had not
undressed except to loosen her dress
fastenings and reprove her shoes.
Quickly her fingers secured but-
tons and drew on her shoes. She
rose and tried to smooth the wrin-
kles from her dress, attempted to
arrange her tousled hair so that she
looked presentable.
"All right," she said. And he bent
and stepped inside.
Then, crisply, he said, "Virginia,
I don't want to. frighten you. But
there may be trouble. The Apaches
are near by. They play- attack."
She took a step toward hint. "Jim

Her color was higher: she could
feel it burn her cheeks. She was
a fool, of course. But she had loved
hint once. She said breathlessly:
"Md Scarlett told me. The

She recoiled as if he. had slapped
her. He _spoiled it tali. with three
words, shattered evei*ything she had
an instant ago felt for' him. He had

At 20 she could despise him -with
all the strength of h'er mature be-
ing.
"It's quite all right," she said
flatly. "Thanks for bringing me
the warning."
"Here's my plan," he said. "I

cation as he could manage, and
not only for the monetary ben-
efits that accrue.. To have an
acquaintance with the great
thinker; of all times it to en-
rich one's cultural life, and to
develop an understanding and
tolerance concerning all peoples
and all things.
Try once more to convince your
wife that through a better edu-
cation you can make her life
more comfortable and interesting.
Perhaps later on she can be
persuaded to take up some course
she did not get in school, and you
find a finer life together.
If she would care to write me
herself about these questions, 1
should he happy to hear from
her.
A wife who thwarts her husband's
ambitions is not being smart. The
yearning for better living and better
thinking should not be discouraged,
or a man's spirit is broken. Anne
Hirst can help in such a situation,
if you write her at 123 Eighteenth
Street, New Toronto, Ontario. .
How They Built
A Real Log House
"Building aTlog house is a
somewhat curious process." she
(Mrs. kinziel says. "The chimney
is formed by four poles of the
proper length, interlaced :with a
wickerwork of small branches. A
hole or pit is dug: near at hand, and
with a mixture of clay and water.
a or of mortar is ' formed: Large
wisps of hay are filled with this
thick substance and fashioned with
the hands into what are technically
called `clay cats' and then are filled •
in among tile framework of the
chimney until not a chink is left.
The' whole is then covered with a
snilooth coating of wet clay, which
is denominated 'plastering.' Be.
tween the logs which compose the
walls of .the building small bits of
wood are striven quite -near togeth-
er; this is called `chinking,' • and
after it is done' clay cats are intro -
diced and smoothed over with" the
plaster. When all is dry, both walls
and• chimney are Whitewashed • and
present a comfortable and tidy ap-
pearance .. ,"

Here's, a tip if that sack of sugar
you just took out of storage is hard
as a rock. Try placing the unopened
sack in a hot oven for about five
minutes. The heat will soften the
sugar, and you'll find it perfect for
immediate use. -Mrs. ,++1. 5.
If you have any material left over
after making slipcovers, try making
matching aria covers or protectors.
My family gets the arms of the
furniture soiled quickly, ant: these
protectors eliminate having to wash
the whole slipcover. I use dress
snaps to hold the arm covers secuir-
ly in place.- Mrs. • C. S.

I can place hot skillets and pans

to roll out noodles, cookies, and pie
