CHAPTER V .'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. �1y 1trydl x(111 751 :1'sN.,4u,�111,wd,.nll4�� %lthil,'r'f� M1 �cti�m.0 V 7✓ (,.a.+ttleAn.

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— and got them, "You'd know if they lead?" (Continued Next Week) Kindne4 Repaid 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. Invited to Dearborn as au honor- ed guest of the great motor mag- nate and his wife, Mrs. Collins was conducted through the great Ford plant andmuseum, and later' ap• - peared as the guest of honor at an old-fashioned square dance. The next day she returned home in a brand-new motor car, a gracious gift of the motor magnate, - After thirty years, Heart Ford had paid a debt of gratitude.

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. -The New York Sun ISSUg 29 — 1949 " /TA LE eictue, Andrews I'm sure 1 dolt' need to tell you of the iumltot•tante of plenty of vegetableatin the diet, and especial- ly in the diet of those still young and growing, But please don't be like so many, and waste half the goodness of the vegetables you cools pouring precious a'itamitts down the drain, or by overcooking.
