apparently bent on mischief.
CHAPTER III
"Who is Steve Barron?" she
asked. "What is he?"
"So it's Steve now," Jim Randall
said: his eyes and voice mocked
her.
"He stood by me when we
thought there was danger," she
said.
"Good for him!" Jim said, Then:
"Birt he didn't tell you that he is
a gambler?"
"A- gambler?" She knew the
shock of disappointment; she had
thought of Stephen Barron different,
and he wasn't at all under his
polish.
"Ye,, a gambler," Jam told her.
"He practically owns Santa Bonita.
Built it with a deck of cards. Ask
hint to tell you about it. It's an
interesting story."
"7-i don't think I care to !seat
it."
Virginia had not expected to find
sleep that night. Danger made the
darkness static. The nights noises
were startling. The howl of a coy-
ote. the hoot of an owl; eerie sounds
always and doubly so now. But her
body was weary from the day of
hard travel. Sleep came swiftly.
She awoke once and lay tensely
1 i s t e n i n g. Low-pitched voices
reached her from somewhere out-
side. Jjm Randall's voice first.
"His fiancee, Barron," he was
saying. "A very nice person, Much
too young to be hurt!"
Steve Barron laughed softly.
"You giving me orders, Randall?"
"Call it that if you like," Jim
Randall replied.
"I get it," Barron said. ".Apache

don't blame you, 1 rather like the
girl myself. But that doesn't say
that I'm willing to forget-"
"You listen to me, Barront" Jim
said savagely; then his voice fell
away to an angry murmur, And
Barron snapped, "Not yet it hasn't!"
Their voices moved away, were
lost. Virginia lay in the darkness
of her tent shivering. Afraid. They
might have been discussing her -
and Phil. She knew they had been!
Then - her heart was furiously
pounding - something was wrong.
Phil must be in trouble.
CHAPTER IV.
in the bleak gray of early dawn,
Jim Randall came to Virginia's tent
and called to her in a low, urgent
voice that snapped her wide awake.
She sat up and pushed aside the
heavy army blankets. She saw him
outside the tent's opening, a tall
grey form in the faint light, His
face was indistinct, but she had the
impression that it was grave.
"Yes, I'm awake," site said,
"May I come in?"
"Just a minute...." She had not
undressed except to loosen her dress
fastenings and remove her shoes.
Quickly her fingers secured but-
tons and drew on her shoes. She
rose and tried to smooth the wrin-
kles from her dress, attempted to
arrange her tousled hair so that she
looked presentable.
"All right," she said. And he bent
and stepped inside.
Then, crisply, he said, "Virginia,
I don't want to frighten you. But
there may be trouble. The Apaches
are near by. They may attack."
She took a step tokvard him, "Jim
you must be careful!"
"I?" he looked astonished. "I'm
thinking of you."
Her color was higher; she could
feel it burn her cheeks. She was
a fool, of course. But she had loved
him once. She said breathlessly:
"Mel Scarlett told me. The
Apaches want to capture you.
They-
, "Virginia. my child--"
She recoiled as if he had slapped
her. He spoiled it all with three
words, shattered everything she had
an instant ago felt for hint, He had
dared to call her a child a second
time) At 17 she hated hint for that.
At 20 she could despise luta-with
al! the strength of her mature be-
ing.
It's quite all right." she said
flatly. "Thanks for hringing me
the warning"
"Here's my plan," he said. "1

How They Built
A Real Log House
"Building a log house is a
somewhat curious process," she
(Mrs. Kinzie) says. The chimney
is formed b • fourole
y poles of the
proper length, interlaced with a
wickerwork of small branches. A
hole or pit is dug near at hand, and
with a mixture of clay and water.
a sort of mortar is formed. Large
wisps of hay are filled with this
thick substance and fashioned with
the hands into what are technically
called 'clay cats' and then are filled
in among the framework of _bhe
chimney until not a chink is left.
The whole is then covered with a
smooth coating of wet clay, which
is denominated 'plastering.' Be-
tween the logs which compose the
walls of the building small bits of
wood are driven quite near togeth-
er; this is called 'chinking,' and
after it is done clay cats are intro-
duced and smoothed over with the
plaster. When all is dry, both walls
and chimney are Whitewashed and
present a comfortable and tidy ap-
pearance ,
When the sawmill arrived with
its adjunct, the blacksmith shop,
the log cabin took a step forward.
Window sash and glass filled the
crude opening in the logs and
ntrought-iron hinges and nails se-
cured flapping doors and sitinglet,
As a matter of fact, the -sawmill
spelled bhe well-deserved doom of
the log house,' From "Architecture
in Old Chicago," by Thomas E.
Tal lnutdge.
HURRY DID IT
Here's the story of an actual farts
Accident, as Told by a Parut
Safety Specialist
"11au' Oh, Matti" Lucy called
frnm the back door. "M att, I need
some wood or I can't finish the
(linnet."
"All right, all right , . , Get it
in lust a minute." Mall was in the
shop putting sharp shares on the
plow. The first one wasn't going
011 Very - easily, and Matt was get-
ting inpatient,
"1'11 lust, put ou this share," be
thought, "Don't see why Lucy
doesn't get her own wood, anyway.
Course it isn't cut, but lots of wom-
en cut their own wood." The share
was going on better now.
"Matt!" Where is that wood?"
Lucy called again from the door,
"01), all right!" Matt dropped
the share in exasperation. I'll never
get the plowing done at this rate,"
he thought. "Oh, well. I'll get a
stick or two, then get the plow
ready while she finishes dinner,"
' Matt rushed over to the wood
pile, picked up the axe, grabbed a
Llock of wood and swung at it.
"I'11 get that back field plowed
today, then ... O'i, oh, Lucy!"
Matt grabbed his left hand and
fell to the ground in pain. In his
hurry, he had swung the axe be-
fore he could get hold of the
block correctly. The axe blade
had struck his forefinger, sever-
ing it neatly just above the sec-
ond joint.
Matt had used an axe for -Inany
years, was rather proud of Itis skill
with it. He could set up a block of
wood and in a few swift, well -
directed cuts have a cascade of
stove -wood around the Oltopping
block. Where had he made a tiffs -
take this time?
Hurry did it 1 modern In oto at life
the temptation to hu4+ry le always
with us. Our way of life ie built on
speed -- on getting things done
quickly.
But it's important to make a dis-
tinction between hurrying and do-
ing a job quickly. Hurry may be
Balled uncontrolled or undiracted
speed. To get things done quickly,
there must be no wasted effort.
To hurry is to make many move-
ments, but to get nowhere.
Hurrying and planning other
work while handling audit a dan-
gerous tool as an axe is inviting
disaster. It's especially important
for a farmer to study how to do
his various jobs most efficiently.
Planning will help you do your
work without hurry, yet gat it done
quickly and efficiently.
