slender shoulder of his small rag-
ged companion, hesitating even after
he had bidden her farewell.
"Juanita," he said, "when this
night is over you've got to go back
to the mission and stay there,"
She flushed painfully. "I know I
was clumsy to let myself get caught,
senor, but I was trying to serve
you."
"Of course." Valdez said quickly.
"And you've been like an extra pair
of eyes and ears to me, But 1 can't
let you take these risks."
He left in full pursuit of the hoof-
beats that were now only faraway
sounds in the night.
Back where he had left Juanita,
she turned her own horse in the
direction of Haskell's ranch.
• • •
As she approached Chinnoc Pass,
her keen ears detected the sound of
milling men and horses. Dismount-
ing, she tethered her horse in a
safe place and crept cautiously to
just within sight and hearing of the
cowmen. Crouched behind a rock,
she heard the cowmen's debate, and
their final decision to head for Gold
Creek and a showdown with Russ
Bartle.
Juanita ran for her horse as the
retreating sounds of the bands of
riders died in the distance. She
saw the sleek animal in the moon-
light, head thrust toward her, ears
cocked. But when she gripped the
saddle horn to swing up, she saw
something not so pleasant.
Sheriff Bill Lande.
"Going. some place—hi a hurry?"
Lande's voice was flint -hard.
Juanita had not found breath to
answer when another horseman
thundered up.
"The devil to pay, Sherilil" he
shouted. "Jim and me just stumbled
on Chris Pringle, drilled through the
head. On the bend of the trail, in
the shadow of the rock."
"Then take care of this young
hombre, Cal," snapped the sheriff.
"I'm on my way there."
"Wait, senor!" cried Juanita. She
must not be tied up again,
She had to warn Valdez. "I show
you sign—my sign, yes—but killer's
sign, too. Can you read sign?"
"'Course I can read sign," said
the sheriff indignantly. "Come on,
show us, hombre."
Juanita led her captors to the
spot near where Pringle lay dead.
It was not a long time before day-
light, and she knew that in another
few minutes the darkness of just
before dawn would be thickest—like
an opaque curtain. Then—she pray-
ed—would begin her headlong ride
to save Valdez.
• * *
She quickly kindled a small fire
and pointed out the prints.
"The sign of the killer's horse,
senor," she told him. "You see how
toe -piece on shoe makes big dent on
one end?"
Lande stooped and squinted.
"Shore," he said. "Now let's see
you take us to the hombre who
forked that particular cayuse."
"Ride?" she asked. "Killer per-
haps goes far, no?"
"But you couldn't see the sign
from your saddle," argued the posse -
man with the sheriff. He turned to
Lande. "Wouldn't waste no more
time on this yarn of the Mex boy's,
Sheriff."
But Juanita was not so easily to
be put off.
"Last night I trailed the killer to
arroyo half -mile south," she persist-
ed. "We ride so far, then I walls.
But hurry. In darkness we cannot
make too much haste. And this
trail is old already."
Lande drew a six-gun and cover-
ed her as he mounted.
"All right," he ordered. "Ridel"
Juanita rode in front of the sheriff
and his man, When they reached
the arroyo, ale knew, she would be
expected to 'dismount and point out
the sign of the killer—and it was
not there)
She held her mount
back as the pre -dawn darkness
dropped thicker and thicket'.
The side of the dry wash was only
a little less perpendicular than a
sheer wall. It dipped a hundred
feet before it touched the boulder -
strewn bottom. Below would be
hsolute darkness,

Old -Time "Homey"
Kitchen Was Best
I'm not against modern improve-
ments—writes Jol111 Gould in the
Christian Science Monitor -•- but
there ought to lie some attention
paid to the things that make a home
and less striving after the machine
shop.
Par instancy, these modern stoves
have no place under them for the
cat. And no heat escapes the insul-
ated back so a dog can curl up
against the wall and forget what
year it is.
The kitchen set up at this 'bow
had about as much character 05 a
machine that grinds peanut butter,
and no woman could ever work in it
and successfully look like a mother
or a grandmother, 'There was no
provision in this white enamel
kitchen for Crandpop, who wants
to tilback in the chair with the cat
on his knees and put Isis feet on the
ledge of the stove. There was no
ledge on the stove.
* * *
Somebody ought to tell these tin-
knocicers that white baked enamel
and built-in electric motors do not
make homes, 1lantes are made, in-
stead, by the recollection of Gram -
ride, balancing a pie in each hand,
and teetering on one foot as she
trips the oven door with the other,
trying not to disturb Grampie be-
cause the cat 1s asleep, Things like
that make kitchens.
Homes are made too, by pigs
down in the barn and hens in the
dooryard, and the living becomes
destitute when garbage is ground
up and flushed down the sink -
spout with a roar and a rush—and
ease and convenience,
* * *
As Thoreau, or Emerson, or Dr,
Mary Walker, or somebody, had it,
innovations arc not always improve-
ments.
We aren't so old-fashioned we
like drudgery, but we do see some
need for contributing. You get out
of a thing about what you put in.
I tihnk somebody ought to invent
a line of gadgets that can be at-
tached to modern machines to make
them easier to live with. Some kind
of a vicarious exerciser, so you can
feel you're doing something besides
just riding on the assembly -line
belt.
Push -Button Canning
Plans are now being drawn for a
food canning plant so completely
mechanized that humans will be
needed only to check instruments
and push buttons.
Moving belts will carry boxes of
raw fruits or vegetables to waiting
steel hands which will dump them
gently into grading machines where
they'll be separated into uniform
sizes. Complex devices will dig
out seeds, shave off peels, and slice
the fruit into segments. Other ma-
chines will pour them into cans, add
syrup, suck out the air and seal
them tightly against encroaching
bacteria. Huge pressure boilers will
cook them to a turn, then cool them
quickly. Steel fingers will paste
labels on the cans, stack then neatly
in cartons, seal, address and send
the shipping cartons on their way
to grocery shelves.
All this will be done in one con-
tinuous operation at breath -taking
speed—cans will spew out the end
of a line at a rate of six a second
or more.
The word larva, meaning a stage
in the development of some insects,
is front the Latin meaning a mask,
or ghost.

Warn5'ng to Brides
One of the most irritating dis-
coveries which a bride makes after
she is married is that her husband
still likes to
talk to other wo-
men. "When we
go out togeth-
er," writes one
young wife, "he
seems to drift to
other women
there, and pays
very little atten-
tion to 111e. "And
s she wrought up about it!
A young wife forgets that her
tatus has changed since her utar-
iage. Once she was pretty Betty
Hubbard, popular and sought after.
Now she is Mrs. Richard Shaw, and
she and her husband are invited out
as a couple. She is supposed to make
herself agreeable to ,all the other
guests, as is her husbnd.
No longer can she expect that he
hover only over her, with eyes for
no one else. She has his undivided
attention at house, but abroad she is
expected to share him with others
present, particularl; with other girls.
Social Obligations
* ,-o at a dance, when he has the
* first dance with her and then sees
* that she has other partners, so at
* a party he deposits her among her
* friends and then nixes with the
* rest. He will seek her out when
* 11'5 time to leave, and they'll
* slake their adieux together.
* Meantime, they are bothsuppos-
* ed to entertain other people and
* be entertained by then,. Other-
* wise, why go at all?
* The smart young wife is proud
* of her husband', good manners,
* She sees him smiling and tallying
* with other girls, and she thinks,
* "How lucky I am!" And she puts
* her best foot forward to be pleas-
* ant to other guests, both men and
* girls, so that he will be as
* proud of her popularity as she is
* of his. Together they present a
* nice couple who draw interesting
* people around them; and so they
* build a coterie which spells their
* social success in their conunun-
* fay.
The Wrong Way
* If, however, she is foolish en-
* ough to resent his playing his
* proper role among their friends,
* she is off on tate wrote foot. He
* is quick to sense her jealousy,
* and to resent it. She alienates
* his good will, she drops degrees
* in his estimation. And the fat is in
* the fire.
* As a married woman, she is
* the social arbiter of their married
* life. She can make that life an
* increasingly interesting one, lllut-
* wally entertaining and satisfying,
* or she can destroy it in its very
* beginning. Her suspicions are an
* insult to her husband's devotion,
* and her possessiveness will drive
* hint away from her more quickly
* than almost any other fault site
* has.
To "Reader," "Young Wife,"
"Provoked Agnes," Etc.:
Welcome your husband's popular-
ity as a tribute to you both, For
now neither of you is on your own;
everything you do reflects on the
other. Be proud of hint, and stake
him proud of you. That is one of
the most important lessons which
marriage can teach a'ou.
To "M. B.': I have given the ad-
dress of the Alcoholics Anonymous
headquarters a number of tines in
this column. I repeat it once more:
Alcoholics Anonymous Foundation
P.O. Box 4'59, Grand Central Annex,
New York, 17, New York.
Write them for the address of the
chapter nearest you, and they will
reply in a plain envelope.
I hope your friend will benefit
through their help. Thousands of
men and women have.
Never let your new husband think
you are jealous. That is the surest
way to lose him. Anne Hirst will
help you through the first perplex-
ing situations, if you write her at
18th Street, New Toronto 14.

Esther's Zeal I+or Her People
Esther 4:10.1 ; 9:20.22, 26-27.
Golden Text—Who ktulwelh wheth-
er thou art come to the kiugdotlt
for such a time as this? -.,.Esther
4:14,
The haute "Cort" never occurs In
the Book of Esther but Ilia Pres-
ence and sovereignty over the af-
fairs of men is everywhere manifest.
It is a wonderful story. A beautiful
Jewish maiden, whose parents were
deceased and who had been cared
for by her cousin Mordecai, was
chosen to be the wife of the king of
the great Persian Empire, The plot
of two of the king's chamberlains,
and the intrigue of Mannan, a high
court official—all against the back-
ground of oriental life—ntalce this
an interesting and thrilling human -
interest store.
While Esther was queen, Hatnan's
pride and hate led hint to secure
t' • icing's authority for the destruc-
tion of all the Jews. Mordecai
challenged Queen Esther to inter-
cede for her people with the oft'

Q. How can I soften egg shells?
A. By putting the eggs into vin-
egar for about 24 hours, longer if
necessary,
Q. How can I strengthen new
glassware?

dry.
Q. How can I remove paper that
has stuck to the polished surface
of a table?
A. Rub the paper gently with a

whether thou art come to the king-
dom fel such a time as this?" The
Jews in the capital city were called
to prayer and fasting. Esther took
her life in her hands and approached
the despoth monarch. He held out
the golden sceptre. But you must
read the story. Suffice 1t to add that
the King granted her request and
the Jews assembled and valiantly
defended themselves on the fateful
day. Ever since they have observed
the feast of Purina in remembrance
of the occasion, Proud Haman, who
had sought their destruction was
hanged on his own gallows. • .

Queen Victoria once asked for
an evidence of the truth of the Bible.
The answer was, "The Jew!" To -day
he is again in tate spotlight. '!'here
are still unfulfilled Biblical pro-
phecies concerning this people. Jesus
Christ, the rejected Messiah, will
one day be accepted by then and
great blessing to the world will
