.'Lawrence!" he called. And got
no answer.
He moved imide, and Virginia fol-
lowed at his elbow. The adobe had
but one all-purpose room. It was
low ccilinged and very long. Three
bunks stood against the wall at one
end. There was a fireplace at the
other, A table and chairs stood
close to the fireplace. and on the
table a steal was spread. A meal
for one person.
Jim's boots made hollow sounds
as he moved to the table. He began
to examine the food on the thick
china plate. He lifted the coffee pot,
looked and sniffed at its contents.
His face was bewildered.
Virginia was at his side, "What
is it?" she asked.
He turned slowly to look at her.
'This food has lain here a long
time," he said. "For weeks per-
haps." He gestured with his hand,
"There's a laver of dust over every-
thing—"
Virginia stared at him with
alarmed eyes.
And he went on, •"Tt,ic plate !las
been deserted."
CHAPTER V(.
Virginia felt no great surprise
with her despair. She had antici-
pated something—and this was
what it had been. Phil Lawrence
was gone. His ranch was deserted,
Something had happened to him.
She gripped Din Randall's arm.
"Jim, what happened?" she de-
manded; yet she knew that he could
not answer that. The bewilderment
on his face showed her that, and
more. He was alarmed.

hie said quickly: "Wait here.'
And he turned and strode from the
adobe ranchhouse.
He was gone perhaps ten minutes,
and when she saw his uniformed
figure in the doorway again she
knew he had found nothing.
"Everything is in order." he said.
"But his horse and saddle are gone.
It looks as if he merely rode off,"
"But woulda rancher leave his
place for so long a time?" Virginia
asked, "Wouldn't he have to look
after his stock?"
Jim nodded. "Pm as puzzled as
you. Virginia."
"What can I do?"
He was thoughtful for a moment.
Then: "We'll see Steve Barron and
have a talk with hint."
They headed northwest toward
the distant mountain range whose
jagged peaks reared against the
pale blue sky like sharp wolf fangs.
The blazing sun hung directly over-
head when they rode into Santa
Bonita. It was a tiny cluster of
adobe and frame buildings, seeming
asleep in the sun.
Jim led the way to the cafe and
they dismounted there.
"You can wait inside," de" ha told
Virginia. "T'll go find Barron."
He entered the little cafe with
her and left her after ordering her
a meal. He stepped from the cafe
and strode to the saloon. He shoul-
dered through the swinging doors
and halted just inside to let his eyes
become adjusted to the gloom:
The room was big. A long 'bar
ran the length of it. At one end
were the gaming tables,. Only three
customers were in the place. Jim
crossed to the bar and told the bar-
tender be wanted to sec Steve Bar-
ron. He was directed to a door at
the far end of the roots,
He knocked sharply opened and
stepped into a small room, Steve
Barron sat at a desk writing. He
looked up slowly and showed no
surprise.
"Well, Randall?" he said flatly,
"I have Virginia over in the cafe,'
Jim said, "We came from Phil
Lawrence's ranch. The place is de-
serted. I thought you'd know, if
anyone did. what happened out
there."
"I don't know, 1 haven't seen
Lawrence for weeks,"
Jinn took off his campaign hat and
tossed it onto the desk. He found
chair and sat down, rolling a cigar.
cite. His eyes were saber sharp.
"You are the only man who had
anything against Lawrence,"
"T lnever had a showdown with
him, Lieutenant,"
"You didn't send gunslicks after
him?"
Steve Barron hesitated. A frown
nay over his darkly handsome face.
He said, finally: "When Law-
rence stopped gambling here he had
lost 500 blue chips. Each chip count-
ed as one head of cattle. He re-
fused to turn the 500 head over to
me. I sent my boys after them—

After 30 Years
One day- in the 'ilhleties a
mechanic fitting some boilers for
the Detroit Illuminating Co. had
a six-foot length of pipe left over
whett he had completed the job,
and said to the young engineer of
the eonlpgisy, "if ,you carr use this
stuff, 2'11 leave it for you."
The young .man, whose name
was Henry Ford, said that he could.
Many years later Mr. Ford got
to thinking (shout that piece of
pipe, which had gone into the
cylinders of the first - Ford car
What was the name of the man
who gave it to him- Dlflloa wasn't
it? Hadn't he worked later for a
Buffalo company? Investigation re-
vealed the fact that the man had
passed away, but a daughter was re-
ported to be living in a small Penn-
sylvania town. With the aid of the
local police chief, Mr. Ford finally
located her. Her name was Mrs.
Collins.

ed guest of the great motor mag-
nate and his wife, Mrs. Collins was

His Wish

Threeold sten were passing the

of leaving this world, The first,

a speeding car. The second, aged
85, agreed on a speedy end, but
thought he'd prefer a jet-propelled
plane.
"I've got a better idea." mused
the third, aged 95. "I'd rather be
shot by a jealous husband."

"Can She Bake
A Cherry Pie?"
Cherries are ripening, the red pre
cherries which have color and tang
and personality. Now is the tithe to
make cherry jam and cherry pie,
if you really know how. Cherry jam
happens to be one of the best of all
confections, but because it requires
a cools who is also a connoisseur
not a great many people undertake
it. No such good fortune prevails
with cherry pie. The notion seems
to he abroad that anyone with a
pie pan and a bowl of cherries can
slake a cherry pie; and nothing
could be further from the truth.
It takes an artist to make a cherry
pie worth the name. A person able„
willing and patient enough to pit
the cherries, and discriminating -
enough to choose the right cherries,
deadrripefor the most part but with
just the right number still tanged
with acid. Pitted and oozing their
own undiluted juice, they should
have just the right amount of sugar,
not too much or too little. Then a
dash, the most careful dash, of
nutmeg, Then a bit of flour. Not
cornstarch, but honest flour; too
much flour and the pie will congeal,
too little and it will flow, either of
which is fatal.
There are the ingredients. Build
a bottom crust which will flake in
your mouth; and, as you will, make
a Lull top crust or a lattice. Dab
clic cherries with butter before they
go in, dab crust it lattice with but-
ter, sprinkle judiciously with sugar,
and bake.
It sounds so simple. And it is
simple, when the right person floes
it. The result, depending on the
maker, can be magnificent, or dis-
mal, As we said, itis essentially a
matter of art, And, unfortunately,
there are loo few artists around
when cherries ripen.

Perhaps you've heard that one
sort of pan is better than another
for cooking to save minerals and
vitamins. The really important
thing, however, is that if you're
going to cook vegetables properly,
that is quickly and in- a minimum
of water, your pan must conduct
heat rapidly, and have a tight fitting
lid.
And, according to the American
Medical Association, you can for-
get any rumors that food cooked in
a certain kind of pan is dangerous,
That organization says that YOU
DO NOT endanger your family's
health by cooking in aluminum
pans, or in those made of stainless
steel with copper bottoms.

Now, as a handy guide, I'm going
