It was an hour before the troop-

with Scarlett and O'Hara. Jim went
directly to where the two men lay.
He knelt first by one then by the
other.

shrewish; if she dictated it was dip-
lomatically done so that Maj. Ben-
son didn't suspect its existence. She
was a dark-haired, dark -eyed' wo-
man of 45, owner of a gay laugh and
sparkling eyes come of 'being still
loved by her husband after 20 years
of married life. She was an army
wife and she loved army life, and
when she spoke of soldiers it was
with gentle pride.
"Jim Randall," Martha was say-
ing softly, *3bla.meis himself, of
course. He lost a man. He loves
his men. He's a genuine officer,
Virginia."
Virgina Iiked Martha Benson. In
two hours they had become friends.
She said, "There's much to admire
in Jim Randall. And much to-"
She did not finish.
"He's an old friend?"
"I knew him only for ,a week."
Virginia replied. "Not long enough
to become - friends."
Martha's smile was impish. "t
rather wish you weren't to marry
your Philip Lawrence," she said.
"I'd like to arrange a match -that's
my one weakness, substituting for
cupid. And Jim is my favourite of-
ficer -next to the maor, of course."
t. g
Virginia laughed easily. "You
haven't a chance," she said. "I'm
terribly, in love with Phil." She
looked at the older woman with
shining eyes. "Have you met Phil?
Does he ever come here?"
"He has been here once or twice.
" Martha's smile had vanished;
a sudden restraint had entered her
voice.
In post headquarters, Jim Ran-
dall stood with a Sharps rifle
in his hands. He was showing it to
Maj.Benson who sat, gray-haired
and Bulky, behind his table -desk.
"We found five of the Sharps,"
Jim said. "All of them brand new.
Natchi boasted in his palaver that
he had many of them."
Maj. Benson's face was frowning.
"We'll have to look into that."
"It's my idea," Jim said, "that
some white man is deliberately-"
'The maor cut him short. "Stuff
and nonsense. Jim! Some gun sales-
man probably found his way to
Natchi. Maybe a Mexican. Vire
won't worry too much about that.
We want tq capture Natchi him-
self."
Jim took the rebuke. "Yes, sic."
Maj. Benson said, "Capt. Ham-
mond is trailing Natchi. I've talked
with that gambler, Barron. You,
lieutenant, investigate that stage
holdup. Barron has lost a Iot of
money . ." He smiled slyly, "But
first you may escort Miss Ames to
Phil Lawrence's ranch, as you re-
quested."
"Thank you. sir!"
Jim Randall strode from head-
quarters and found Virginia alone
on the porch of the 1?ensnn's quar-
ters.
He lighted a cigarette, the said:
"I'm going to escort you to Phil
Lawrence's ranch tomorrow." And
after a moment: "Virginia, what
reason have you for worrying about
him? What brought you here -if
you really have no immediate wed-
ding plans?"
She did not answer at once, but
let a silence come and run on, Then
finally she gave him the letter and
be read it by the light from a win-
dow. His eyes filled with surprise
as he read. He turned to her,
"A strange letter," he said. "No
wonder you came."
"I don't understand it," Virginia
said. "It isn't like Phil to write such
a letter. It frightened me-s4ll
frightens me," She paused but then
said, "Last night in camp Jlin, 7
heard you and Steve discussing Phil
and me. 'What it It Jim?"
He said after thought, "Your Phil
and Barran once quarreled."
Virginia's heart leaped. Her lips
went dry. "Over what, Jim?"
His hestitation was even longer
this time. "Over a gambling debt."
Something in his manner,,Ini his
voice, told her he lied.

"Dear Anne Hirst:
We have been married over ten
years. Since the fourth month, my
husband has been unfaithful. These
past two years there have been six
women.
"I've done all
l could to keep
h i m interested
in me and the
children. I've in-
vited friends in,
planned dinners';
but he excuses
himself and
goes his own
way. He is very
likeable, and makes friends easily -
so easily that he has had affairs
with two of my :neighbors 1
"1 have suffered black eyes,
bruises on my face and sere, even
cigarette burns! He keeps the child-
ren afraid ley playing on their little
hurts. They are all upset by our•con-
stant quarrels; their school work is
getting poorer, and I find myself
a bundle of nerves. My home and
appearance are beginning to show
it.
What To Do?
"He doesn't believe in doctors,
and refuses any of us medical at-
tention. (God is looking after us,
and the children stay healthy.) 1
don't.believe my husband is a well
man.
"1 was raised right, and to be-
lieve iii God. But my husband does
not. Please help mel '
"Distraught Eve."
* Your decision to leave your
'i' husband seems well taken. In my
* opinion, his cruelty to you and the
* children leaves you no other
* choice.
* You have done more than your
* part toward making your mar-
* riage work. But you could not do
* it alone -and your husband will
* not try. He keeps you all so
* frightened that your health, and
* the children's, is bound to suffer.
* I think you should gain your
* freedom as soon as you can and
* I do not believe you will have
* any trouble getting it.
* Your letter is one of the most
* hopeless I have ever read. 1 don't
* see how you have stood this life
* as long as you have. You need to
* be protected from this husband
* of yours, and complete freedom
* seems to be the only way..
* You have all niy sympathy, and
* best wishes for many happy years
* with your children.
Ann Hirst never advises divorce
if she can help it. But when a man
mistreats the family he should
cherish, the law must provide pro-
tection for them . Write your

How He Becarn
Spelling Champ
Thirteen -year-old Kim Calvin of
Canton, 'Qhio, is the top young
speller in the U.S.
James Shea, also 13, from St.
Saviour School in 'Brooklyn, finish-
ed second in the 22nd annual na-
tional spelling bee.
In order to win, Kim had to spell
more than 50 words correctly -and
outspell 48 other city and regional
champions. They were sent there
by Scripps -Howard and other news-
papers from coast to coast. -
Kim got his big chance when
James missed "dulcimer," which the
dictionary cheerfully explains is:
"A trapezoidal zither with metal
strings stuck by light hammers."
Apparently trapezoidal zithers are
a rarity in Brookyln, for James
tried it, "d -o -l -c -i -m -e -r."
Kim not only knew "dulcimer"
he also knew the next word that
would make him a champion. He
whipped right through "onerous,"
which means burdensome, oppres-
sive and troublesome to some peo-
ple -and $500 to Kim.
The champ, who wore a yellow
shirt and a confident air, is living
proof that practice pays. -
He won his region last year, and
was sent to the national bee by the
Canton, Ohio, repository. He fin-
nished 12th nationally, and might
have gone even further if he hadn't
bogged down on "obbligato."
Since then he has practiced daily.
He will save the $500 until he's
ready to go to college, where he
will study science.

" TABLE TALKS
Here's something that I honestly
believe you'll find worth cutting out'
and treasuring. From the basic
recipe, with slight variations, you
can concoct at least four different
desserts, every one of them almost
certain to please. So here's
Bran Gingerbread
% cup shortening
% cup sugar
2 eggs
34. cup molasses
34 cup boiling water
cup ready -to -eat bran
2 cups sifted flour
54 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Blend the shortening and sugar;
add eggs and beat until creamy.
Add molasses and mix well. Pour
boiling water over bran and add
to first mixture. Add flour sifted
with remaining ingredients and
stir until batter is smooth, Bake
in greased pan, with waxed paper
in the bottom, in moderate oven
(350° F.) about 45 minutes. Makes
12 servings. (9x9 -inch pan).
* * .
Then if you think the folks
would like a pudding dessert for at
change, serve that gingerbread pip-
ing hot with this:
Orangeade Sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch.
14 cup corn syrup
1 cup orange juice
34 teaspoon orange rind.
Mix together cornstarch and corn
syrup. Stir in orange juice. Cook
over low heat until mixture thick-
ens, stirring frequently. Continue
cooking until sauce is clear, about
five minutes. Stir in .orange rind.
Serve hot.
t * 4:
Another day, use the same gin-
gerbread recipe for an upside-down
Bake, just by spreading the batter
over this pineapple mixture:
Pineapple Upside -Down Cake
2 tablsps. butter or margarine
Oft ono brown sugar
4 slices . canned pineapple or 1
eup crushed pineapple drained.
Melt butter in 9-inoh pan, add
brown sugar and distribute eveetly
over bottom of pan. Arrange fruit
on top of sugar mixture. Spread
gingerbread batter on top of fruit.
Bake in moderate oven (350° F',)
about 45 minutes. 6-8 servings.
Gingerbread spread with weave
cheese topping is new for afternoon
entertaining.

Cream Cheese Topping
Moisten 2 packages cream rehearse
with sweet milk or ereaen. Add. 54

mixture on cool gingerbread.

chances will be better if you say
you're 75."
