CHAPTER IX.
She broke off abruptly, her eyes
frightened. Jim said quickly, "What
about Barron?"
"Nothing," carne her flat, heavy
reply .
He was wise enough in the ways
of people to know that her lips
were now sealed. Whatever she
knew about Steve Barron was lock-
ed within her.
He said, "I'm not going to arrest
Lawrence—if you do as I say."
"If I do as you say?" she said,
puzzled.
"Yes," he said, and knew he was
being cruel. "You're going to give
him up. You're going ft break
with him."
"But I love hint!"
"So does the girl he promised to
starry. She had a claim on hint."
"And if I don't break with him?"
"I'll send him to prison."
She sank into a chair and covered
her face with her hands,
"You don't know what you're
asking," she sobbed.
"I'm making a sacrifice too," he
told her. "I'm an officer—and I'm
disobeying my orders which were
to arrest the men who held up the
Lannasa stage."
She looked up. "Why?" she de-
manded. "Why are you doing that?"
"l guess you know why," he
said.
"You love—that girl?"
"I love that girl," he admitted.
He turned away from her, his
face grim. She said to his back,
"If Steve Barron learns about Phil
he'll—he'll kill him!"

"Barron isn't going to learn about t
him,"Jim said."If break with
Phil Lawrence he'll leavethe coun-
try."
"With her," whispered Lanya.
Jim faced her. "With the girl he
promised to marry, Lanya."
She rose. She looked small and
sad and wilted. "I'm not going to
say yes—yet. Let me think. I've
got to think this ou "
"Don' take too long," he said.
"I want Phil Lawrence away from
the Territory—soon."
He took up his campaign hat from
the table and moved to the door.
"You can save him, Lanya," he
said, then he opened the door and
went out.
* * *
From the street he glanced up at
the window of Mrs. Warden's house.
The window was dark and blank.
Virginia was no longer there, He
walked on slowly, toward the camp.
When Virginia awoke the next
morning Jim Randall's command
• had already left camp. From the
kitchen door she saw the troop far
off across the desert, trailing a long
funnel of yellow dust. She watched
the column until it was beyond the
desert's rim. Then she went to her
room and took up pen and paper.
She wrote swiftly, as if afraid her
newly -formed decision would some-
how be shaken.
"Dearest Phil: 1 have decided you
are right. I should go hone. There
is nothing here for me but a vast
emptiness. And I am afraid of it.
1 shan't beg you to go with me—
though I want you to, badly. I
know something holds you here, but
I don't know what it is.
"I shall be waiting for you—and
loving you, Come to me in six
months, as you promised. Yours,
Virginia."
* * *
It was alWays possible to find a
boy who owned a horse and a saddle
and who would run an errand for
a dollar or two. Virginia stepped
from the house to find such a boy
to ride out to Phil's ranch with the
letter. She saw a lankly, redhead-
ed boy in front of the general afore
She walked toward him.
She saw Lanya Correy int he.
doorway but, remembering Jim
Randall had visited the dance hall
girl during the night, she could not
greet her,
"Miss Ames...."
Virginia halted and turned. Lan-
ya came from the doorway, a slim
dark girl in a plain gingham dress.
Her face was very pale, her dart
eyes smouldering, Virginia said:
"Yes, Lanya?"
"I'd like to talk to you," the girl
said, "Will you come to my house?"
"Why—yes, of course."

'Twasn't Much Fun
Being A. Kid Then
It cannot have been much fun
being g child at the end of the
eighteenth century. Even Christmas
and birthday presents were de-
signed, not to amuse, but to edify
and instruct.
Some 500 out of a collection of
1,500 children's books, dating from
an early "Aesop's Fables," in Latin,
published in 1566, to those of the
beginning of the present century,
have recently been exhibited at
Eastbourne, in connection with the
conference of the Library Associa-
tion.
Dated 1783, there is a book called
"School Dialogue for Boys—being
an attempt to convey instructions
insensibly to their tender minds'and
instil the love of virtue." While in
1810, there appeared one of the first
cut-out books, called "History of
Little Fanny," the story in prose
and verse, together with seven col-
ored cut-out figures, one moveable
head and four hats. Fanny's story
is highly moral and we follow her
through the many vicissitude:
caused by her laziness and vanity
("Can this be Fanny, once so neat
and clean? How changed her dress,
how altered is her mien! A dirty
beggar girl before you stands, craw
ing a scanty morsel from your
hands") until she is finally "restored
to her former station, modesth
dressed with book in hand, now no
longer idle, proud or vain!"
Small wonder the first children's
magazines had a short life. The
editor of "The Juvenile Magazine,'
which appeared in 1788 and lasted
only one year, announced in her
opening remarks that it was "ad-
dressed to my young friends who
are fond of instruction."
As soon as the publishers turned
to blood and thunder, their success
was assured, and in 1876 H.R.H.
Prince Arthur was subscribing to
"The Boys of England," a young
gentleman's journal of sport, travel,
fun and instruction," which boasted
16 pages for a penny and was so
arranged that it could be folded and
carried in a boy's pocket. Within
six months, the editor was claiming
a circulation of 150.000 copies.

For those " who like pickled
"cukes" =and there are many of
us— the. following is just about the
easiest way of doing them down
that I have tried. They're called
ICE WATER PICKLES
6 pounds cucumbers
3 quarts white vinegar
3 cups Lugar
1 cup salt
Onions
Celery
Mustard seed
.METHOD: Six pounds medium-
size cucumbers, each cut in four to
eight chunks, according to size.
Soak in ice water (or very cold
water) for three hours, then drain
and pack pieces into sterilized jars,
To each jar add six pickling onions,
one piece celery and one teaspoon
mustard seed.
Now mix together the vinegar,
sugar and salt. . Bring to a boil,
pour over cucumbers and seal at
once.

What are known as "bread and
butter pickles" seem to become
more popular each year — and no
wonder, as they're really delicious
when properly made. Here's one of
the best recipes I've run across;
and even though cracked ice may be
rather hard for some of this col-
umn's readers to lay hands on, I'm
going to include it anyway.
Bread -and -Butter Pickles
1 gallon firm clean cucumbers
8 small white onions
2 green peppers
2 red peppers
5 cup salt
1 quart cracked ice
5 cups sugar
1% teaspoons tumeric
teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seed
5 cups cider vinegar
METHOD: Slice the cucumbers
in paper -thin rounds and pack into
a stone crock together with the
onions and green and red peppers.
Now mix the craet•ed ice with the
salt and peels around the mixed
vegetables in the crock. Cover the
crock with a weighted lid and al-
low to stand for 3 hours, then drain.
Transfer your pickles now to a
large enamel or aluminum kettle
and pour over them a mixture of
the vinegar, sugar and spices. Bring
to boiling point over low heat, Pour
into hot, sterilized jars and seal.

So now let's call it enough of
sour things for one session; and now
I'm going to give you still another
peach recipe. It has the advantage
that either fresh or canned peaches
can be used, so if you don't get
around to giving it a trial right now,
it will be just as good next winter,
It's called
PEACH CRISP
1 cup flour
1 sup sugar
54 teaspoon salt
51, cup butter
34 teaspoon almond extract
7 largo peaches
METHOD: If peaches are canned,
drain and slice them into the bot-
tom of a greased casserole. If they
are fresh, peel and slice into greased
casserole,
Place sugar in a bowl and add
the salt and almond extract. Mix
the flavor through the sugar, Add
the flour and n» w.with the sugar.
Add the butter and cut through the
sugar-fiotir mixture until crumbly.
Spread over the top of the peaches
1
and bake in a 375 degree oven for
about 30 minutes, or until a golden
brown.
* * *
And now, as an answer to that
ever-present "what to give thein for
dessert" problem, here's something
you might find different, tasty and
easy to prepare.
CHOCOLATE CHUNK
PUDDING
2 cups bread (three slices), cubed
2 eggs
54 cup sugar
9 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 \squares sweet chocolate, cut in
chunks
51, teaspoon vanilla extract
Place bread in buttered baking
dish. Beat eggs, add sugar, salt and
milk; stir-. Add chocolate and van-
illa; pour over bread. Bake in a 350
to 375 degree oven until set, about
45 minutes. Serves six to eight.
Clocks Made Of
Scraps and Bits
"Necessity is the mother of in-
vention" is a saying known to most
people. Its truth is proved by the
church clock of Wootton Rivers
in Wiltshire. It was in 1911 that
thisvillage wanted to celebrate
King George V's Coronation by
the erection of a .church clock,
Unfortunately there was no
money available. Spurredon by
necessity the village postman,,,Jack
Spratt, cane forward with a wild
and most unorthodox proposal. If
the parish would provide a few
hundredweight of scrap metal, said
Postman Spratt, he would build a
clock from it.
The villagers considered the pro-
position, thought that they would
be no worse off if Spra'tt's plan did
not work and considerably better
off if it did, and began to bring in
their junk. It was an amazing
ments, bits of odd mowing machines,
chaff cutters and reapers, gas pipes,
bedsteads, prams, fire -irons, taps
and old saws.
With the heterogeneous pile of
apparently useless rubbish Spratt
began his work, assisted by vari-
ous trusty helpers. More astonish-
ing than the materials from which
the clock was made was the fact
that when finished it actually
worked. By the ohne the Corona-
tion came around it was ticking
away most ef&Ciently in the church
tower, where it still is.
The clock has chines too, added
later but still, the work of the
ingenious Spratt. It is a unique
piece of work, for one of the three
fabes has letters on it instead of
numerals, using the words, ''Glory
Be To God" to indicate the hours.
It is the works, however, that are
the astounding sight, only shown
to visitors with the rector's per-
mission. The pendulum, for In-
stance, look remarkably like a
broom handle—it probably was one
—but this wonderful product of
mangles, brass bedsteads and old
bicycles keeps time with only less
accuracy than the best precision.
made instruments in the world,
And what more can be asked of
