CHAPTER XI "It gets ale," the guide said. "that they didn't cover their tracks. Looks like they want to be followed—and that means an ambush." "Not this time." Jim said. "Natchi is playing a shrewder game. He wants to hold Miss Ames to force the release of his son." "Lieutenant, you're not going to trust an Apache?" "I'm going to play the game Natchi's way," Jim said evenly, "I'm going to get Miss Ames no matter what the stakes." The trail led deep into the moun- tains, They followed it the whole of the next day, until the light failed. Then, the third day, follow- ing it into a broad rock-strewn can- yon they came to an abrupt dead end. It vanished on the canyon's bed of loose shale and sun -bleached rocks. Scarlett scooted in a great circle. "They jumped off into thin air, lieutenant," he said at long last. Jini's face was bleak. "We'll push an," he muttered. Two hours later, the column rode from a deep gorge into another canyon. Scarlett, riding ahead, anade a sign. Jim gave Barrett quick orders, then left the detail and rode to join the guide. A man in ragged shirt and breeches, moccasins and head-. band squatted by a cactus stalk. He held a rifle, butt against the ground.

Me Charley, Come from Natchi. Natchi say white sol- dier get back wife when Natchi get back son from white soldier's fort. You savvy?" "1 savvv," Jim said. "Natchi say, son no come back, white soldier's wife go to Mexico. No come back." Jim eyed the half breed narrowly, thinking what a blackguard he looked. He said, "Tell Natchi his son will be freed. But first I must see that he has not harmed—my wife. You savvy, Charley?" CHAPTER XII Gunfire racketed against the mountain stillness. The sounds camr- from far off among the towering rock cliffs. Suddenly the Apache camp in the furnace • hot canyon was being deserted. The dusky - skinned women were frantically gathering up belongings, children and horses for an exodus. No men were in the camp; they had ridden away in early morning. Virginia drew away from the opening of her prison hut. She had seen the half breed in ragged white man's clothes appear with her sad- dled horse. A moment later he stepped into the hut. "Come," he ordered. "You go with camp." She shrank from him. But he leapt at her and seized her arm. "Natchi say you go to Mexico. White soldiers fight. No return Natchi's son. You come—" His voice broke in a throaty sound as a man loomed behind him and struck out with a gun. The half breed collapsed under the blow. The man—Steve Barron—stepped over the fallen Apache and took Virginia's arm. "Come!" His voice was urgent. "There is no time to waste!" He hurried her from the jacal. She was dazed and frightened. She saw a mounted Mexican with a rifle in his hands, warily watching the Apache women who had gathered around. Steve Barron helped her mount her horse. He swung onto his own mount, and immediately led the way across the canyon. No one attempted 'to stop them. The sun was a great red ball at the desert's rim when the three rode from a deep narrow gorge into the lowlands. Steve swung east then, pushed the lathered horses harder. Then he halted abruptly. o :4;�`,�a,ayyz� • Just The Type—Surrounded by examples of his work, portrait artist Josef Abel works on another of his "typed" portraits. The Frankfurt, Germany, craftsman has been practicing for 10 years, and can now complete a typewritten portrait in about six hours. Working from photographs, Abel taps a key and moves the roller at the same instant, achieving remarkable portraits in this manner. sd C. „ , mea pifitnit For two years I've been dating a young man whom I love. My par- ents dislike him, because five years ago, when he was 18, he had a bad repu- tation. "They ..do not believe he has changed. (1 tw: ;l { know he has.) They will not not let me go out alone with him, and insist that I forget him. This a cannot do. "')'here are the soldiers," he said, pointing into the distance. "You will be safe now Luis and I are rioting west,,, 'She looked at him with eyes that ached from the sun. "I can find no words to say how I feel, Steve," she said. "1 can only say—thanks." A queer glow was in his eyes. His voice sounded weary and he talked disjointedly. "Don't thank tie, Vir- ginia. I was to blame for what happened to you. I-1 am to blame for much that Natchi has done in this country. 1 armed his band. I atm a renegade. Virginia looked shocked. "t'41:1;t 't understand." His smile was hard. "Ambition— or rather greed—drove me. I was mad in my desire to own all of this great valley. I wanted a great empire for myself. I wanted the Apaches to terrorize and drive out other white men, so that I could take over their lands. I did that to Phil Lawrence—and I think I drove him a little mad. Whatever he did, I am to blame. Now the soldiers know. Lanya has told them—" Virginia said, "I-1 pity you." "I was wrong. I saw that when you were seized. I knew the soldiers might fail to rescue you — so I came." He looked wistfully at her. "You will go to Lawrence now, but 1 think you have lost him. As I have lost Lanya. We're both going to suffer, Virginia." He swung his horse about and rode away fol- lowed by the Mexican. Virginia rode on toward the dis- tant camp.' She looked back once.

UP TO HIM 4' If this young man ' has any * spunk, he will talk to your par- * ents himself. * He will acknowledge his wild * oats, sown so long ago. He will * try to convince them that now * he is a respectable, dependable * citizen, who knows how to ap- * preciate a nice irl. He will ask * them to let you go cut with hint, * and promise he will take you only * to places they approve, and bring * you home at the hour they ask. * It would be well, too, if he can * give them names of people they * know, who can vouch for him * now. And why not have his par- * ents meet yours? * A girl is known by the com- * pany she keeps. And in smaller * towns, memories of past miscon- * duct are not easily forgotten. * This is why you. parents do not * want your name associated with * his—until they Iearn that other * nice people receive him too. * You believe he has changed * now. But you are in love, and * thattcan blind yob to reality. * It does seem that, having dated * this boy for two years, you have * had ample chance to know him. * He has conducted himself proper- * ly with you, and you are natur- * ally resentful that your family * is not yet convinced he will con- * tinue to do so. * But don't be critical of their * attitude. They are trying to pro- * test you from gossip, for they * know that a girl's good name is * her most precious possession, * I feel that a personal tall% be- * tween hint and your father and * mother is the manly L..sture now. * Let us both hope that he can * plead his cause successfully. Parents would be shirking their duty if they did not protect their children from questionable associa- tions. If you resent your family's attitude, tell Anne Hirst about it.
