Stove Barron, gambling czar of Santa
Bonita, are seized, she is escorted by Lt.
Jim Randall whom she once knew in
Washington and fall* is now with the

CHAPTER IX.
She broke off abruptly, her eyes
frightened. Jim said quickly, "What
about Barron?"
"Xothing," carne her flat, heavy
reply . •
He was wise enough in the ways
of people to know that her lips
were now sealed. Whatever she
knew about Steve Barron was lock-
ed within her.
He said, "I'm not going to arrest
Lawrence -if you do as I say."
"If I do as you say?" she said,
puzzled.
"Yes," he said, and knew he was
being cruel. "You're going to give
him up. You're going to break
with him."
"But I love him!"
"So does the girl he promised to
marry. She had a claim on hint"
"And if I don't break with him?"
"I'll send him to prison."
She sank into a chair and covered
her face with her hands,
"You don't know what you're
asking," she sobbed,
"I'm snaking a sacrifice too," he
told her, "I'm an officer -and I'm
disobeying my orders which were
to arrest the men who held up the
Lannasa stage,"
She looked up, "Why?" she de-
manded. "Why are you doing that?"
"T
guess you know why,",
he
said.
"You Love -that girl?"
"I love that girl," he admitted.
He turned away from her, his
face grim. She said to his back,
If Steve Barron learns about Phil
he'll --he'll kill him!"

"Barron isn't going to !earn about

Phil Lawrence he'll leave the coun-

"With her," whispered Lanya.
Jim faced her, "With the girl he
promised to marry, Lanya"
She rose, She looked small and
sad and wilted.. "I'm,. not going to
say yes -yet. Let me think. • I've
got to think this ou "
"Don' take too long," he said.
"1 want Phil Lawrence away from
the Territory -soon."
He took up his campaign hat from
the table and moved to the door.
"You can save him, Lanya," he
said, then he opened the door and
went out.

From the street he glanced up at
the window of Mrs. Warden's house,
The window was dark and blank.
Virginia was no longer there. He
walked on slowly, toward the camp.
When Virginia awoke the next
morning Jim Randall's command
had already Left camp. From the
kitchen door she saw the troop far
off across the desert, trailing a long
funnel of yellow dust. She watched
the column until it was beyond the
desert's rim. Then she went to her
room and took up pen and paper,
She wrote swiftly, as if afraid her
newly-fortned decision would some-
how be shaken,
"Dearest Phil: ! have decided you
are right. I should go hone. There
is nothing here for me but a vast
emptiness, And I am afraid of it.
I shan't beg you to go with me -
though I want you to, badly. I
know something holds you here, but
I don't know what it is.
"1 shall be waiting for you -and
loving you. Come to me in six
months, as you promised, Yours,
Virginia."
*
it was always possible to find a
boy who owned a horse and a saddle
and who would run an errand for
a dollar or two. Virginia stepped
from the house to find such a boy
to ride out to Phil's ranch with the
Letter. She saw 'a lankly, redhead-
ed boy in front of the general store
She walked toward him,
She saw Lanya Correy in he.
doorway but, remembering Jim
Randall had visited the dance hall
girl during the night, she could not
greet her.
"Miss Armes.. ,
Virginia halted and turned. Lan-
ya came from the doorway, a slim
dark girl in a plain gingham dress.
Her face was very pale, her dad
eyes smouldering. Virginia said:
"Yes, Lanya?"
"I'd like to talk to you," the girl
said. "Will you come to my house?"
"Why -yes, of course."

For those who like pickled
"cukes" - and there are many of
us - thefollowing is just about the
easiest Way of doing them down
that I have tried. They're called
ICE WATER PICKLES
6 pound's cucumbers
3 quarts white vinegar
3 cups sugar
1 cup salt
Onions
Celery
Mustard seed

one piece celery and one teaspoon
mustard seed.
Now mix together the vinegar,

What are known as "bread and
butter pickles" seem to become.
more popular each year - and no
wonder, as they're really delicious
when properly made. Here's one of
the best recipes I've run across;
and even though cracked ice may be
rather hard for some of this col-
umn's readers to lay hands on, I'm
going to include it anyway.
Bread -and -Butter Pickles -
1 gallon firm clean cucumbers
8 small white onions
2 green peppers
2 red peppers
3,4 cup salt
1 quart cracked ice
5 cups sugar
1% teaspoons tumeric
teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seed
5 cups cider vinegar
METHOD: Slice the cucumbers
in paper -thin rounds and pack into
a stone crock together with the
onions and green and red peppers.
Now mix the era^' ed ice with the
salt and pack around the mixed
vegetables in the crock. Cover the
crock with a weighted lid and al-
low to stand for 3 hours, then drain,
Transfer your pickles now to a
large enamel or aluminum kettle

I'ni going to give you still another

Fair Question
An inspector, noted for lois fault-
finding propensities, was inspecting
a newly completed portion of a
highway. He grumbled at every.
thing. The crown was not high
enough, the shoulder too steep, the
ditches not deep enough, and so
the string of complaints went on.
The foreman bore it all patiently.
Then he atraightetted up to his full
height, and, looking the inspector
in the eye, asked: "How is she for
length?"
Same One
A little girl dashed over to her
mother in great excitement. She
had found a pressed maple leaf in
the pages of the family Bible.
"Just look what I've found,
mother," she cried. "I bet it be
longed to Eve."

Two years ago, 1 turned my back
on a wonderful
wife and two
swell children.

"I begged her

the past year

happy one, But
this girl sent nie

"I love her and my children mare
than anything in the world, Anne
Hirst, I have ' paid for my mis•
take. But she is under the influence
of a sister who keeps her upset
about all the things I've done.
(She never lets me see my children
now). And she says if I don't stop
bothering her, she will get a
divorce.
"1 am all empty inside, wonder-
ing if she means it! I never want
to lose her, What can I do to
make her know I love her?
"I just landed a good job. I hope
it isn't too late. Please help mel 1

* With painful regularity, such
* letters as yours come to my desk,
* dripping anguish and remorse,
* yearning for hope in their search
* for the happiness they once had.
* Each one awakens niy distress
* anew, that a man should so light-

* fection for the transient thrills of
* a foolish girl.
* To you, grieving for your sins,
* I can say only what I have said

4' patience, and faith.
* Your wife has had slight ap-

* now you know so well. Driven

* YieIding to his pleas, she returns

Tough Kid
Mother Manges was pleased.
"You see, Jerry," she beamell, "1
told you that was a nice little boy
next door. I was glad to see from
the window just now that you had
made friends with him and 'were
helping him pick up his marbles."'
"Marbles," scoffed Jerry, • "1
socked him in the jaw. Those
weren't marbles; those were teeth!"
