Hs gesture took in the desert and the mountain beyond. He was smiling thinly, "Is that why you have so many meaningless affairs?" Virginia ask- ed. "So many—?" then he laughed. "You're thinking about that week three years ago," he said. "I was in love with you then," she said heavily. "And you hate me now," he re- minded her. "No ... not any more." He flung away his cigarette and turned quickly to her. The pres- sure of his arms about her .was rough but gentle. "Virginias" She placed her hands agaitist his chest. "Don't kiss me, Jim. There's something about you that frightens me—and attracts me. But I could never love you again." He still held her close, She was afraid he would kiss her, afraid though she wanted him to—wanted hint to despite her love for Phil. Then her eyes saw a movement beyond hila. He saw her startled look, and he turned. Then he dart- ed away from her, drove forward on his long legs, and laid rough hands on the half -naked Indian who had been watching thein. He drove the Apache down to his knees with a blow of his fist, then talked to him in the Apache tongue. Virginia went and stood at Jim's side. Then, at a sign from Tint, he rose and darted away. ilPATTERN-4723 SIZES 34--50 '1'`11:' aloin pattern parts!

ISSUE 36 15^q "It's all right," Jin: said, "He was unarmed" "He was squatting down—watch- ing us," Virginia said, "He gave ;.me a start." Then: "I saw hint be- fore. I remember the scar on his face. Steve Barron -talked to him the day we went to meet Phil." Jim looked at her frowningly. "Barron, eh?" he said, Then: "We better return to town." Long after, Virginia sat in her darkened room looking down upon Santa Bonita's solitary street. She had undressed for bed but there was no capacity for sleep in her. Her thoughts were confused and racing wild. She had permitted Jim to disturb her tonight and she hated her weakness. Then she saw hits below her In the street. There was no mistak- ing him. He was more t'ltan a man in uniform; the way he carried him- self marked him. She saw him hest - tate. Her heart pounded. If he were coming to her. But she saw she was wrong. His hesitation ended, She saw hint turn and walk to the house across the street, Lanya Correy's house. He knocked. The girl opened the door and he stepped inside, The door closed, Virginia turned from the window, :bitterness in her. Two hours ago aha, held her in his arms. Now he turned to a dance hall girl. CHAPTER IX. When Lanya Correy opened her door a sudden consternation trans- foritted her placid expression. The appearance of an army officer there startled her. Her first impulse was ' to close the door against him. But Jim Randall had the fiat of his hand against the panel. He not only kept her from closing him out, deliberately pushed it wide. '"I want to talk, Lanya," he said. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him, He watched the girl stove away from him. She went to the oppo- site side of the table which stood in the center of the floor. Her face showed pale and frightened in the glow from the table's oil lamp. But hers was a pretty face, her skin fine and her lips full red. Her dark eyes had vast depths that doubtless had haunted many men. She stood wait- ing, nervously gripping her hands. Jim said finally, "Lanya, where did you get that cameo Pin you are wearing?" The girl's hand darted to the pin at the neckline of her dress, cov- ering it. "I—someone gave it to me,' she stammered. "Phil Lawrence?" She did not answer. "Do you know where he got it?" Jim asked. "I won't tell you anything!" Lan- ya cried. "I don't have to!" * "No, you don't have to," Jim ad- mitted. "But you're frightened, and that answers me, You do know about Phil Lawrence." IIe watched her wilt under his words. Then: "Did he tell you he got that pin in a stage, hold-up? Did he, Lanya?" Thinly, "No. , . "And that it belonged to Vir- ginia Antes?" Her eyes quickly flashed with an- ger, "That isn't true! It never be- longed to her!" Jim's voice ran on relentlessly. "He stole it from the girl who loves him, who promised to marry him. And he gave it to you for—" "No," chokiegly, "No .. , He didn't give it to me. I'll tell you the truth. He came to see ale while Steve Barron was away from Santa Bonita. He put his coat over a chair. When he was gone, I found the pin on the floor. I—I thought he brought it for me, but had for- gotten to give it to me'r Jim went around the table and faced her. "That's what I wanted to hear, Phil Lawrence and you are—friendly, r heard rumors of it. It was over you that Lawrence and Steve Barron quarreled." She nodded. "Steve Barron .wants me to marry him. He states Phil because—because I love him." She lifted her hands in a pleading gesture. "Please don't arrest him, He's not robbed anyone but Steve Barron.

Write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont From Clocks To Carillons All countries, to some extent, had their striking tower clocks around 1400, but England and the Low Countries were to develop theirs far beyond the rest. In France, Italy, Spain and Germany two to four swinging bells in the tower were the rule; and when clocks were in- stalled, the hours were struck on one of the bells, usually the largest. In Flanders and England there was a desire to hear something more than the mere striking of the hour on the bourdon, or bass bell, The half-hour was made to sound as well, on one of the higher notes, and soon the quarter hours were also' narked by the tone of a bell. Just across the North Sea, the great cities of Flanders were at this time. in the midst of the golden period of their history. Belfries be- came symbols of municipal pride and in them were hung bells of all sizes, to be -rung for different serv- ices and duties. Flemish culture, particularly music, was flourishing; the organ and harpsichord were undergoing important developments; and a great school of musicians was developing whose influence was to spread from Flanders to all parts of Europe. When the belfries of Flanders and Holland acquired their clocks, existitlg halls were often not sufficient for the desired chime, Where bells were lacking in a series, new ones were cast and installed with the others—and these had to be in tune, The highly cultivated musical sense of the Flemish was applied to the bell an their knowl- edge of tone was put to the task of perfecting it. Toward the close of the fifteenth century the Flemish carillios devel- ' oped from a few bells sounded by the clock to an instrument of anally bells equipped with a hand clavier and pedal board capable of execut- ing the polyphonic music of its day. A century later the number of bells had reached three full octaves and more. . . . Then as now the two 'playing systems existed side by side: the revolving drum automatically producing Its elaborate tunes, fully harmonized, on the quarters and before the strike of the hour, and the clavier controlling hand play, It was .Flanders which perfected the boll and Hien gave to the world the mightiest of all instruments, the carillon.— From "Carillon" by Arthur Lynds Bigelow. If you want interest a woman, say something she can't quite hear. The Great Evangelist Two hundred years ago one of the world's greatest evangelists was awakening all England to the need for moral and spiritual regen- eration. John Wesley, founder of Methodism, was 'needling its the open air, gathering converts into societies, and creating a band of lay preachers who, with himself and his brother Charles, endured intense persecution and privation, At that time large tracts of the countryside ae we know it to -day were wastes, forests, fens, and swamps. Cultivation and roads, as we think pf them, barely existed. Most towns and cities were dark pits of pagan iniquity. Every sixth house in London was a grog -shop. Swinging signboards promised to make one "drunk for a penny, dead drunk for twopence, with clean straw for nothing." It was in such a world that Wes- ley received the message "Thou art not far from the Kingdom' of God." He began to preach in the open air because nearly every pulpit in. the church he so roved was closed to hint, For over thirty years he travelled on horseback all over England, giv- ing the rein to his steed and doing his reading anti studying in Dile saddle to save time. Ignored Threats He rose at four in the morning and, through snow and storm, win- ter or summer, on dayswet or dry, cold or hot, by bad roads, good roads, or no roads at all, he canter- ed onwards, preaching three or four tittles a day and travelling between fifty and; eighty miles ih twenty- four hours. Stoning and threats to burn down the houses where he stayed were common. On one occasion he said, "If the house is to -be burned, let us use it while it stands." He would walk into the midst of threatening crowds and say, "Here I am. Which of you has'anything to say to me—you, or you, or you? To which have I done any wrong?" It was said of Wesley that he had muscles of whipcord, bones of steel and lungs of leather. In truth, he suffered from many bodily ail- ments and once nearly died of con- sumption. At 74, while suffering from ague and fever, he rode sixty- three miles i11 a day and preached. Gave Wealth Away He ate sparingly, drank water, and lived on $150 a year, although he sometimes made $2,000 a year from his books. The surplus he gave away. He founded schools anddis- pensaries, distributed medicines, and found work for the poor. At 'Wesley's death there Were in Great Britain over a !hundred Methodist societies with some seventy - two thousand members. About the same number of societies existed in America. To -day the whole Methodist family throughout the world is estimated at well over nineteen million. - It is significant that John Wes- ley's constant prayer was, "Lorin, let me not live to be useless." Two woolen were preparing to board the air liner. One of them turned to the pilot and said, "Now, please don't travel faster than sound. We want to talk." Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q.
