Jerry did not keep to the track. He took to the trees and followed its course un- der their shelter. As he approached the open coun- _tyy, he went more and. more careful- ly. arefully • At school, his geology textbook, never enthusiastically studied, ' con- tained a supplementary chapter or .two on mineralogy, but he had for- gotten most of it long. ago. Not ,only would he- not be able' to tell good iron' ore from bad; -he wouldn't know - any sort of ore- if he fell into a heap of ' it. .Still less did he understand the collection •of specimens. But he believed that, i��he could get some- where near where the last burrow- ings were made into those cliffs, all bis purposes would be solved by fill- ing his pockets with casual clay and pebbles. He reached the treeless area. The stars burned clearly, -yet their light was insufficient to send down more than a ghostly radiance. • The pine clumps, far over there, showed merely as a fringe of shadow. The shanty was a black mound in the plain, magnified by the semi- darkness until it resembled a' tumu- lus where some prehistoric warrior might be buried. All around, the inky hills faded in- to the inky horizon-. With them for background, any moving figure would be as good as invisible." One comfort; though. If any guard or prowler was hidden frpnp Jerry, Jereye was equally well hidden from prowler or guard. Still cleaving to the surrounding trees, he began to circle the barren waste. He had to go slowly, for' fear of giving some alarm. He was unskilis ed in such progress and his best ef- forts were none too.successful. In- evitably, twigs snapped under foot. To his high-keyed nerves, the reports sounded as loud as pistol shots. Once he sprawled flat over some obstruc- tion and stayed long quiescent, eyes straining into the night to detect any niovement from the hut which the noise of that tumble might evoke. It evoked none. He began to speculate upon what might, after all, have happened there. , How Angie had reappeared so sud- denly at the store was beyond his ex- planation. He must ask Rose about it. , He scolded himself for not hav- ing already asked her. But If Twombley, had pretended to Angie his own return to Ironburg ahead of her. If he had concealed himself somewhere here among these trees, gone back to that shanty when the coast wa's -clear, waited for dark- ness and her final return? If he had then attacked her when she least ex- pected attack? In memory Glidden saw the brown ,arm that was like a serpentpoised to strike. He saw the hovering hand, the crooked fingers. Whatever was the cause ofthat strange • enmity Even in that balmy July night a little chill shot down Jerry's spine. For all her apparent knowle"dge of the world, this girl would be clay to such hands as Twombley's were showing themselves to be. "Five thousand? And you you ac- cepted• it?" , "Oh, I ha%en't !:'Then don't." tial relief. "Why not?" "Well, why didn't you?" "That was 'simple enough." El- bows on knee and her chin in her cupped 'hands, she regarded a sway- ing foot. "You see, I'm in business, and so I have what they call the busi- ness outlook. I'd have sold that land to anybody for anything -till some- body wanted to buy. But the minute somebbdy wanted to buy, I thought I might get a raise by pretending I wasn't anxious to sell." Ile chuckled -turned serious. "And so you created' a 'fictitious' competi- tion. Come through, now Rose! You told friend Twombley he wasn't the only person •interested. You told. him I was, that I'd let her slip how -the mine could be drained."a,r "°I didn't!" she indignantly retorted. "Don't I know the ore hasn't any com- mercial value anyway? He just ask- ed about you, and I said all I knew was you'd nearly killed yourself I'm sor• - yeti" Jerry breathed par - snooping around ry if-" "The wait-" "What?" "Never mind. out there. Go on.", mighty mysterious, Jerry. I' was just going to say I was sorry if I'get you inwrong with him. "• "Got me in wrong?" Jerry seized 1 her hand and shook it. "I'm as much obliged' to you for that as for resew ing me today. ' He's. no idea Who I am, and now he thinks I'm here to buy this land. You've given him an explanation of me that I wish I'd had the genius to thidk up. I'd like to be in business with you!" "I asked you-" "Come on home." The distance was scarcely a hun- dred yards. Traversing it, he main- tained his secrecy. Not till he had closed between them the gate to her lawn cotjld he be more explicit, and then all that he vouchsafed Was: "Perhaps I'll talk to you in the morning. When I first went to work,• my boss gaye'-7ne a Christmas pres- ent. Itwas a card, like one he had framed in his office, that said, 'Do It Now.' I did it then, but it never got me anywhere. Tonight I'm going to give it one more try." On that, he left her. He turned toward the hotel, yet, as soon as he heard her door 'shut, he wheeled and, Weary as he. was, headed toward .the Break 0' Day mine. Within a quarter-hour he had reached that point at which the over - which separated those two people otherwise held together by some stronger bond, there was no doubt- ing the malignity of one ,of them. Well, that would have to wait. The night was still young., Jerry got up and determinedly forced his aching legs into the direction of the cliffs. Safely he reached them. Safely he progressed along and around " them and safely descended to thescene of his morning's swim. He slipped oirt of • his clothes, then put his coat back on; he would need its pocice:s. There was the post of that old • derrick. He launched .4 It with a loud splash, sat astride it and paddled it through the chilly water toward a wall that he recalled -as hav- ing shown the least ancient signs of any digging. Each stroke of his arms set echoes flying from cliff to cliff, but noise could no longer be avoided and he should he far enough at last from spy human, ears save his own. Many de- grees more frigid than it had been this morning, the wetter' Was not any longer turquoise. It was pitch blank except wher'cyIsere and there, a *oat* ing disk of silver turned out to ,be sortie stellar reflection. ;14.. He v1'.fls, ;in an Ag- ape nothing around nothing _ above *et, stars, • H'e undeistood A•4 ly how small were his chances. H?;tendered why in the world he helliges had the" pati- ence to poetponehigkettei quest until dawn. He must surer` lose his wa- tery way. If unprecedented good ,fortune got him where he•,wauted go, he coulda n't see anything . whiff: be arrived there. He arrived som@wiiehe,. somehow. His queer craft's 'Su'ow bumped against earth or rock The shock nearly sent him overboard, but he regained balance and edged for - w ard. , He groped. He touched clay and stones. The log's forward end was overweighted. It began to slip. Jer- ry had to work back, more amidships, and paddle his 'vessel broadside to the unseen shore: Again. he clawed at the dark wall. A thousand to one, he was getting nothing but useless dirt- between his groping fingers, but lie• scraped and scooped a few handfuls` if onle from an impish hatred of .that giant cliff He filled his, pockets. He was about to reverse the log and return to the farther shore. He was at a moment's parse. Its quiet was broken. Something had moved. Where? It must have been far overhead, in the blackness at the cliff -top. It came again. With it came a soft patter ail of rain on the water. Rain - ors falling earth. Another landslide? . - A rush. of descending wind cut short all calculation. Like the sweep of a monstrous eagle dropping on its prey, what seemed a derelict tree trunk crashed downwards. • The derrick shaft had gone. Jerry struggled against- water, under wa- ter -deep water. His first ,thoroughly, apprehended emotion was dread lest he should be caught again by that hideous current which coursed into the lake's subter- ranean outlet. To escape this, he swa.m in, what mere mad conjecture. declared a safe direction. ' He came up for breath, but sank when he found. his head in a disk of starshine. Swimming vainly, however, he did eventually and quietly make, land at the dark spot from which .he' had em- barked, and there he jumped into his clothes. ' "Toe, dirt didn't slip out, anyhow," he muttered as he• patted the pockets of his wet coat. He stood, rigid and listening. He had resolved to ascend the cliffs by the way he had come, but even more cautiously and then, surprising or overtaking his enemy, to fight the thing out, but the quiet of the night brought wisdom. If his life had hien attempted, it was • far better to let the would-be murderer •proceed in false security, under the belief th.,t he had been successful, until one con - elusive piece of evidence as to •mo- tive -as yet lacking -should be secur- ed. " Somehow or other, Jerry was con- vinced, Twombley had murdered Jos- eph Slinn, intending, with the small- est possible part of the $50,000 insur- ance money, to buy this • deserted ore Sank, of some value of which Angie S1inn, or Joseph himself, .or, it -might be, one of Twombley's own ancestors, had given the astute broker special knowledge. Now the dead manus sis- ter, somehow smelling out that crime was -horrible as it might seenl--- levying blackmail as the price of holding her tongue regarding the shedding of her own brother's blood. But before a capital charge could be placed in the hands of the pollee with any hope that they would pur- sue the investigation, there must be some proof that the iron mine was worth its purchase for even so small a sum as five thousand. Jerry would- n't go back tonight to Iron'burg. Instead, he strupk down the valley" that opened into the lake -struck at first gingerly,. but at last boldly, across the lowlands, assured that somewhere there he must find another load to Americus. Nor was disap- pointment his reward. A group of fields passed, he came to a byroad; it brought him to a highway. By knocking at the door of a farmhouse and arousing from sleep to wrath its Pennsylvania -Duch proprietor, . Jerry learned that a .certain crossroad would conduct him to Americus: (Continued Next.

Blue- berry 'muffins, blueberry. pie, 'blueber- ries with cream are hard to beat in any dessert competition. Here are •some recipes tested by Consumer Section, 'Department ' of Agriculture, for making the best of the 1942 crop: Canned Blueberries For each pint jar use 2 cups blue- berries and 1 cup syrup (1 cup sugar. to 1 cup water). Cook blueberries very slowly in syrup for three m'n• utes. Let stand for several hours. Pack into sterile jars, seal and pro- cess in water bath for 20' minutes (counting time after water begins to boil) or in oven at' 275F. for 35 min- utes (pints) or 55 minutes. (quarts). Canned by this recipe berries will not°. float. Cannel Blueberries For Pies Pack the fruit in sterilized jars, crushing it with a wooden spoon or mallet until the juice overflows the jar. ' Beal with proper tops as when canning and process either in the wa- ter bath or oven, .allowing five min- utes , longer' than the time required 'when syrup is used. Jelii.gd Blueberries 3 quarts blueberries 2 cups sugar 1 cup water. Make a syrup of- the -sugar- and wa- ter and boil for five minutes. Add cleaned berries and cook 20 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars and seal hot. Yield: approximately 3 pints. Blueberry and Rhubarb Jam 2 quarts blueberries 2 cups rhubarb juice 4 cups sugar. To make juice cut one quart rhu- barb in one -inch pieces. Add One cup water and cook 10 minutes. Press through sieve. Add the blueberries to juice and cook 10 minutes. Add sugar and cook 10 minutes longer. Pour into hot sterilized jars. When cool, seal with paraffin. Yield: ap- proximately 21/2 pints.

Old Prairie Plow May Soon be Tank • Word comes from Bowden, Alberta, that four cars of scrap, metal have been loaded, and there is enough left in the salvage dump to fill another. Army trucks have been assisting in picking up and loading- scrap which farmers have donated. One piece of material of symbolic interest was a seven -bottom plow weighing 3,750 pounds. This metal which once turned the soil of a peaceful prairie farm, will now be used to help arm' the United Nations. VolunteerWorkers Set Salvage Record One of the most remarkable salv- age records to reach National Salv- age Headquarters is that from Mono Road, Ontario. All the Work has been done voluntarily. Seven trucks were loaned one or two clays a week, and Robert Cooper, president of the •Chinquacousy Town- ship Red Cross himself covered 1,200 miles within the township at his own expense. The salvage collected was sold by the 100 pounds to the' high- est bidder and $1,446 realized went to the local Red Cross. The items salvaged included over 70 tons scrap idon; 15- tons of paper; 41, ions of tires and scrap rubber; three tons rags, besides, five torus betties and smaller quantities of other materials, all from a allele aid sloatte1red are If a4 ,,E3:I s Y gq d tIp F 4M, iSi o a #ak#3,ltkfi iliittr7}R .�x_ : this G hfisrr to •11 we t, m$Ye: ulttP?', :and u at* anY dI40e: iiFoeb. the edges, If the Creech want. t titiGtei}' or ni'pshicedked up Stitebes urh b� ` ihii#' next, staxting at t 1e end' 4viiler44Q igti7l}J:itg, r AQ you ua'valltd� rp11 toe 4� linty^ baits.

"In the east most of the farm people .get dailydeliver- ies of bread, regular deliveries of meat and sometimes of groceries. But of course the war is changing all. that." The picture, of course, is different on prairie farms, the reporter point- ed out. There communities are scat-, tered and the farmer has to drive many miles to the nearest - town or community store 'for supplies. He has not been able to coinb'ine town and country life quite so .'pleasantly*. Investigation showed, however, that war. regulations are making east and west meet on the common giound of daily living. • True, many . eastern farms have the comfort of electric light, unknown on most prairie home- steads, but no longer will they have the same number of food deliveries. The clock is turning back 25 'years for many rural housewives, who once again will have to bake the family's, bread; take meat from the salt bar- rel or cut it from a frozen carcass. As formerly she will have to get -her. provisions once a• week or possibly( less ' frequently, depending on when the farm truck has to make a jour- ney into town. The fall of Singapore has brought back the horse:.. and _buggy days be- cause rubber was formerly imported from the far east and now it must be saved, like gasoline. Trucks can no longer be used for unnecessary er- rands and gasoline restrictions do not permit of daily errands into town.

PHOTOGRAPHY It pays to make vacation snapshot close-ups, like this appealing picture of one happy "summer visitor." • CUMMER vacation time is no longer just around the corner. It has begun already. But the big question still is, "How can I make good pictures of my vacation?" The answer td that can be found in two words: preparation and planning. What they stand for rep- resents photographic insurance against disappointments or failure. Preparation for picturing ydur vacation is just as important as preparation for a canoe or pack trip into the deep woods. Begin by giv- ing your camera a thorough clean-, ing.
