Her lips quivered and she moved nervously across the room to the window, stood looking out a moment, then turned as if with a supreme effort. "Miss Ames, you're not going to like what I'm going to say," she said in a flat voice. "You won't even like the way I'll say it. I -I am no lady. I know no fine words Virginia smiled.

She recalled Mrs. Warden's words, that Lanya was not a bad girl but merely unfortunate. "Fine words are often dishonest words, Lanya," she said gently. "I'm going to be -honest," came the heavy reply. "What is it, Lanya?" Lanya said, "It's about Phil Law- rence." "Phil-" Virginia's voice broke on the name. "Yes," Lanya whispered. "You see, I love him." "You -love him!" Her thoughts were thrown into sudden confusion. Steve Barron. Jim Randall. And now -Phil! "I'm not going to give him up," the dark girl said. "Not for you. I love hint -and he loves me!" "So that is what holds hint here," Virginia said chokingly. "And he is afraid to tell me. I should have known!" Pickle Picker -- It comes as no surprise that mechanical in- genuity has finally invaded the pickle fields.

Two others pickers ride with Beverly' on the machine which is 'driverless. TABLE TALKS eiaavzAnattews What would you say was the most popular pickle of all? A 'New York expert claims that cauliflower is the prime favorite and .says that if you doubt this, just lay out a plate of mixed pickles and see if the cauliflower doesn't disappear first. But before giving you the recipe, here are a few general hints on pickling. Even if you've seen them here before, they're well worth re- peating, just as a reminder. First, use the best vinegar you can procure; and unless it's the cider variety, don't ,forget that the vinegars made today are about twice as high in acetic acid as those ot 20 or 30 years ago.

Lanya said simply. "He feels bound by a promise -to marry you." Virginia stood up. She felt no anger, but only a furious desire to fight for her own. "And if I hold him to his promise?" she demanded. "You don't believe me, do you?" Lanya said. She picked up some- thing from the table and held it out to Virginia. It was the cameo pin. "You recognize this? Of course you do! Do you want to know how it. carne into my possession?" "'1 recognize it," Virginia said. "It was mine. It was taken from me during the stage holdup. I-1 don't care how you came by it!" The partly open door creaked noisily on its hinges as it swung wide. Virginia turned and saw Steve Barron standing in the doorway. He always seemed a threat to Virginia. and now with his grim face and glittering eyes he was more than a threat. He was danger itself. His voice came low but sharp, "Miss Ames may not care, Lanya- but I do How did you come by that cameo pin?" The girl shrank from hits as he carne into the room, her eyes wide and full of terror. She cried in her throat. "You -heard!" Steve Barron was before her, 1 -le reached out and seized her left wrist. "1 know," he snapped. "You got that pin from Phil Lawrence - so it's he who has been stealing my money off the stagesi". "No, nol" cried Lanya. "Don't lie to me!" Barron sai'a in cold rage. "You ungrateful little-- --" He broke off and suddenly struck her across the mouth with the flat of his hand. The blow flung Lanya against the wall, then she sank down in a sob- bing heap. Steve Barron swung about and strode to the door. Lanya rose to her knees. "Steve) Where are you going?" He !tailed In the doorway, slowly turned his face black and his eyes stormy."to see Lawrence," he sai,t savagely, "Nol" Lanya got to her•feet. Her face was gray to the lips. "Steve don't! I'll do anything -anything in the world. I'll marry you, Steve-" "You're generous too late, Lan- ya," he told her, The girl drew a sharp breath. "Steve, if you do what's in your mind, I -I shall tell Jim Randall what 1 know about you t" Virginia watched Steve Barron's face with alarmed eyes. Fear played briefly across it, then was replaced by something that was cruel and deadly. "No," he said. "No, you won't." He walked from the house then and Virginia, going to the door, saw him striding .toward the big,. false -fronted building of his gain• bling place. Lanya Correy catne'and stood trembling at her side. "I-Ie'll do it1" the dance hall girl cried hysterically. "He'll kill Phili" Virginia turned quickly, fighting down fear. "Lanya, hurry to the stable and have my horse saddled. i need only five minutes to change to riding clothes!" "Where are you going?" "To warn Phil!" Virginia flung hack over her shoulder. She was already hurrying across the dusty, sun -blasted street toward Sarah Warden's house. (Continued Next Week) if you use some of mother's or grandmother's recipes, you may find your pickles a bit tart. Second, use pure salt, not the table variety, as the latter some- times contains carbonates or bicar- bonates to prevent lumpiness, and isn't as good for pickles as the other. Utensils made of enamelware. aluminum•or stainless steel are OK for pickles. Those of copper or galvanized zinc aren't, as there may be harmful reactions between the metal and the acid or salt. And to really sterilize your jars and lids, scrub them in hot, sudsy water and, just before packing with the hot pickles, boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Now, after that lengthy preamble. we come to • PICKLED CAULIFLOWER 3 medium - size heads cauli- flower 1 quart small white onions 1 cup salt 1 tablespoon mustard seed 1 tablespoon celery seed • 1 teaspoon whole cloves 2 sticks cinnamon, broken: 2 quarts white vinegar 2% cups sugar Method: Separ'ate,cauliflower into flowerets.

Lots of folks 1 know think that their crab apple trees are only good for ornament, or to furnish am- munition for the youngsters in their "wars".

TORONTO AN p 'IR T ;9oteh rvt CG7y 4 k�<svuie2ait "Dear Anne Hirst: We are 12 Children, most of us married and with youligsters of our own. We are all very much concerned about our father's conduct. "Two years ago, he started• being unfaithful to Mother. We told her, but Daddy talked her out of it and she believed him. Ever since, he has had one affair after an- other. He seems to feel no shame that we know it. We have agreed among us not to tell Mother. ""Is it usual to expect men in their 50's to trifle? "As a mother, ours can't be beat. She has had more than her share of work and trouble. She's never had any of the nice things other mothers get, except what we give her. Will you give us some idea what to do? R. J." The kindest thing you can do for your mother now is to shield her from the knowledge of youi father's unfaithfulness, and fill her daily life with the comforts and pleasures she deserves. Don't let a day pass without a telephone call from some of you. Take her for unexpected outings with your children, for frequent drives, and to movies and concerts this fall. When something special comes to town. buy tickets for her and one or two of her choice friends, and ask her to take them to dinner at your expense. Send her oft for short visits to out-of-town friends or her family. And do get together and buy her new fall clothes, and a permanent, and see that she has some spend- ing money of her own.
