Wow ° !i ,• TiAs END by WILLIAM P1M4.9 RHINE SYNOPSIS , When Carl Rogers, editor of the "Powder Horn Sentinel," is killed from ambush in the ` land- grant feud by Russell Mosely's Mat T riders, Anne Eliot, of Mas- sillon, Ohio, his niece, inherits the paper. As she steps from the stagecoach at Blanco, there is a pistol shot. Jim Silcott's hat is whisked from his red head, but the editor who succeeded Rogers recovers it before running to a doorway. Buck Sneve, a Hat T rider, levels his gun again but he drops dead as a -door closes be- hind Silcott: This fatal gun play had followed Sneve's .appearance in the Trail's End with Jud Pren- tiss, his foreman, and other Hat T riders, Jud dragging Jesse Lamprey after him. Jud accused Jesse of doublecrossing Mosely in. the feud, Jesse's younger brother. Phil refused to leave without. Jesse and when Jud started to hit Phil, Silcott, waiting for, a game of poker, asked if Mosely's orders included beating up the boy. Angrily, Jud warned Jim he was on dangerous ground, plied his quirt on Jesse till he fell writhing to the floor, and left with the Hat T men. Iewas then that they lay in wait for Jim. Rufc Jelks takes her to the "Sen- tinel" office and Jud and his men shoot it up but leave when Rufe tells them Anne is inside. Silcott refuses to leave, saying he can't let Mosely drive hint out. Sheriff Lawson threatens to arrest Jim. but Anne says he shot in self- defense and that she will cover. the town with posters telling the truth. Mosely calls on Anne at Ma Russell's boarding house. He offers to buy the "Sentinel" but she says she is going to run it herself. CHAPTER 14 Mosely shook his head. "I hope you won't regret this, but if you are really going to manage the • paper you ought to get a com- petent man to assist you, for a few months at least. I know one at Santa Fe who might be induced to Come." "Mr. Silcott has promised to help me till I get on my feet," Anne said. Ile flushed ang'r'ily. "The worst possible man you could get. A fellow opposed to the best inter- este of, the community." "As hay uncle was too, no doubt," slie suggested, her voice gently implacable. "Your uncle made mistakes." "Do you ever make mistakes, Mr. Mosely?" He curbed his quick temper. It would be better policy to concili- ate rather than to bully this good- looking girl. That scoundrel Silcott has set you against ane," he charged. "I hope you will not take his advice. Frankly, I very much want to be friends with you, I want you to join in my plans to . make •this a finer community. At least be neutral in this land-grant fight." "But if I have convictions. You wouldn't want me-" "You Don't Know The Facts" He cut her sentence in two. "You can't have convictions, be- cause you don't know the facts," he told her, with the finality of a Supreme .Court decision. "All you can have is a prejudice, in- stilled in you by a young ruffian who is one of the worst of the claim jumpers, a man who only yesterday killed wantonly an un - offending cowboy," "You forget I was present when Mr, Silcott was attacked and had to shoot in self-defence," she reminded. Ile rode over this roughshod. "You know nothing„about. it. This fight was forced by Silcott, He eves hanging around to kill my foreman. He is a :thoroughly bad man :who has been a menace to the Hat T for years.” "Are all, the settlers under the Aguilar grant bad men?" Anne asked. . "Of course not. But they are all in the wrong, in the sense 'that they are actually squatters de- pending on.a title that has no just legal basis." "So you are going to drive them from the small ranches. ,they bought in good faith to adds their holdings, to the great tract you al e..edy have,' I HIS square jaw set. "I'm going to enforce my rights, Miss Eliot, . this isn't a mattes' of sentiment, But I intend to be generous— very generous — with those who have not insisted on becoming any enemies. have you made up your, mind to oppose me?" Her lifted eyes met, his without faltering. "Practically," she said, as she moved toward the door. "But•I always.try to be fair." She said good-bye and opened the. door. To be dismissed was a new ex- perience for Russell Mosely, Wrathfully he strode out of the house. Back of his anger was a resolve to bring this proud girl to her knees. Froin the window Anne watch- ed hien go down the street, a self= willed man strong and masterful, good-looking aa a Hermes. She wondered if she had done wrong. After all she did not know Jim Silcott. He night be all Mosely said he was. And it was true her uncle had been given to prejudices and could have been mistaken. a e u "Hear Any Talk -" Phil Lamprey came into the only room of the little cabin the two brothers used when they were in town.. It was one Tesse had built when he first came to Blanco before he started to run cows. • Froin the bed where Jesse was lying came the complaint, "You certainly took your time: Thought you were never coming back." The boy did not blame him for being ill-natured and cross. He was still suffering both physically and mentally. All his jaunty con- ceit had been flogged out of him, temporary at least. "Had to wait till Piper came back from dinner and opened his butcher shop." Phil put down on the table the packages he was carrying. "I got you pork chops, sweet potatoes, and corn, Just what you like." "limp! Did you hear any talk up town?" Phil knew what ho meant. Were people jeering at him for the quieting Prentiss had inflicted? To take his mind from its brooding, Phil told him, "Anne Eliot is in town." "What?" Jesse raised -himself painfully on an. elbow. "I haven't seen her, but she came in on the stage last night. She was the woman who was with Silcott and Jelks when the Hat T men 'attacked the 'Sentinel of- fice." "Why Was She Here?" "What's she doing her'`?" Jesse asked irritably. "Why didn't she write and tell me she was com- ing?" The younger brother could have given a good answer, but he didn't want to annoy Jesse. Tho good-for-nothing Jesse had been engaged to Anne et the time he left Massillon for the West. He had ceased replying to her letters, and after a time she stopped writ- ing. rit- in "They say going she is oin to run the 'Sentinel,' The stor/ is all over town." "She always was crazy," Jesse snapped. "She always was a dandy girl," the boy differed. He was busy lighting the stove on which to cook dinner: "She would pull some fool play like that. What was she do- ing with Siloott and Jelks last night?" (Continuer) next week) An Essential Part Of Regulated Farm .A workshop is an essential part of every well regulated farm. It pays for itself many times over every year. Every farmer has had. the experience of having to go to the blacksmith shop during the busy season for some repair that night have been made immedi- ately at home, had there been a shop equipped for doing the' work. There are some jobs that must, of course, be done by a profes- sional workman, but a great many of the simpler repairs can be made by a handy man who has the tools.

Interest In Azores and Cape Verde Groups In his most 'recent "fireside chat," President Roosevelt indicat- ed the concern of the United States for certain islands in the Atlantic Ocean belonging to the Republic of Portugal, says The Washington Star. An amateur student of history Is reminded of how little he knows about the Azores and the Carpe Verde groups. The former, he learns front books of ready refer- ence, consists of nine separate , islands scattered over 400 miles of water between the thirty-seventh and fortieth degrees of north lath tude. It is understood that the name applied to them is derived from the word "acorns," signifying hawks, west numbers of which fermerlY abounded in the archi- pelago, THE AZORES Some doubt exists ars to whether the Greeks and the Romans were familiar with ''outposts" so tar west of Europe, ,."t the Arabian geographers of the twelfth century described the island.

CHAMBERS Jelly Marking With every jar filled now with jelly or some of the many, many kinds of delicious conserves the homemaker has an extra touch for some future meal. I wonder if you all know, that you may obtain from the department of Agriculture at Ottawa (Market- ing Service) their bulletin on "Canning Foods and" Vegetables." This is a valuable bulletin and should be in every home. • The general rules for jelly - making are well known and have been given in this column before, but I feel that due to the large number of requests on this sub- ject, they should be repeated. Unless adding pectin, it is bet- ter to use ;underripe food. Wash fruit and place in kettle over the fire adding just enough water to prevent burning. Cores and peel- ings should not be discarded they 'do contain much natural pectin and also ;many vitamins. Heat slowly . to boiling; crush thoroughly and cook until the fruit is soft. Turn into jelly bag (always wring jelly bag out of warm water) and drain overnight. There is a test for pectin, which is very valuable to remem- ber. One tablespoon of fruit juice and 1 teaspoon sugar and ah' tablespoon Epsom Salts. Stir until dissolved and allow to -stand for twenty minutes. If a jelly- like mass forms immediately, , there is a large amount of pectin in the fruit and you should use 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of juice. If small flaky substances are formed, there 'is a small amount of pectin and you should use from two-thirds to three-quarters of a cup to the cup of juice. If the juice remains liquid . it con- ' tains no pectin and will not jell without the addition of pectin. This may be supplied by the ad- dition of commercial pectin or from fruit juice rich in pectin such as underripe apples (the cores are a great assistance.) Boil the fruit juice for 15 minutes, have the required am- ount of sugar heating in the oven; measure and add to hot juice. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Boil from five to twelve minutes. Now try for the test: either when dropped from a spoon the juice will form threads, or it will form a sheet dropping from the spoon. Pour into heated sterile glasses. Allow to cool; cover with paraf- fin. Store in a cool dry place. Raspberry Jam 2 quarts raspberries 6 cups sugar 1 cup lemon juice. Combine sugar and berries and allow to stand in an earthenware dish overnight. In the morning place over heat, adding the lemon juice (ninny prefer apple juice) and boil until it sheets from the spoon. Raspberry and Gooseberry Jam 1 quart raspberries 1 quart gooseberries S',s lbs. sugar 1 pint water. Prepare gooseberries and allow to cook until soft. Try to choose large and soft berries. Add rasp- berries and cook until well mixed; then add sugar and cook until thick (about 40 minutes).. Turn into jelly glasses and seal in the usual Way. Rhubarb Marmalade (Request) 1 quart rhubarb cut fine 1 quart sugar Juice and grated rind of two • oranges Va cup chopped walnuts. Prepare fruit and cover with the sugar and allow to stand over- night. In the morning, place on heat until sugar is dissolved. Boil rapidly until clear. Remove from the fire; add tine nuts, mix well and pour into glasses, seal- ing in the usual way. Cherry and Gooseberry Conserve 2 cups ripe gooseberries 2 cups pitted red cherries 8 cups sugar 1 cup liquid pectin 1 cup chopped almonds. Put fruit through mincer. Mea - nee and combine with sugar. Mix well and bring to ball, stirring constantly. Add nuts; boil for 1 minute, Remove from fire, stir in pectin. Stir and boil one min - late longer. Turn into hot sterile jars and seal in the usual way.

Children hi Britain Fight Bctnb Fires School children and travelers on country roads are to be mobilized to light crop fires if they are started by Genian incendiary bombs, the ministry of home se- curity announced recently in a statement warning British farm- ers to be on the alert for such attacks. A large number of stirrup pumps and fire -Pumps powered by trailer engines will be assigned to the areas in which Britain's home-grown wheat is harvested. The danger .period will be when the wheat is cut and becomes in- flalnmable and later when it is in stock, the ministry pointed out. Once Gay Paris Loses Its Charm Social Life Blighted by Huns, People Prefer Rural Homes The social life that Paris knew haspassed out of the picture, -gays Alice Maxwell, Associated Press -1 correspondent, writing from Lis- bon. The international set that made' it what it was is scattered to the 'tom' winds, Aq for French social folic, the majority are preferring their eha- teaux to Paris, They have a doeiible- edged reason—if they don't occupy them, the.Germans will, and if they do, the estate will feed' them. Com- pared with foraging in Paris, a country place that can supply but- ter, eggs, cheese, with occasional cream anis illicit•bacon, is a better place to be, The thing now called social life in Paris is ,ea mixture o2 German officers and civilians, German wo- men, Swedes, Spaniards, Italians, Belgians and French. DON'T BELIEVE PROPAGANDA There is•a bitterness in French people's hearts, eating in. But they keep their sense of proportion. The elaborate propaganda in Paris pap- ers, explaining food and other shortages, looks like eyewash to many of them. In silent protest against enemy measures, Parisians play dangerous little games. Chalked, penciled, ringed around in Paris is the letter "V"—which stands or Victory. In spite of repressions, there are French who denounce the gov- ernment, praise Britain, and cham- pion Pe Gaulle, leader of Free French forces. "Vive De Gaulle" is "mother chalk nna'lc hard to erase. Jellies That ajar By Frances Lee Barton T'S jelly time again.

SiM lames Of Iron In Family Die Spiinach and Prunes Head the List — Baked Potatoes, Raisins Are Good, Too The popeye jokes about spinach aro not entirely without foundation, judging by a chart recently issued by the Ontario Provincial Depns 1' meat of health, whieb shows that epinaOh is still t110 most generous source of iron for human dietary. A mere half -cupful of the cooked vegetable will supply one-fourth of the dally quota needed by a child, and one-third of that eeceesary to an adult. however, as few children—or adults either for that matter—are so fond of spinach that they can oat it every day, other 1' urces must be found. Prunes are about the next best bet. Five of these, cooked yield about halt as much Iron as does the loaf -cupful of spinach. MILK CONTRI IJJTES LiTTLE IRON A medium sized baked potato, a slice of cooked meat, an egg or eight elates are all of about equal valine, each yieldi"g about one- tenth of the child's daily supply. Raisins elo good, too, but they're a 'mg way below spinach in the scale of values, while oatmeal has only about a tenth of the valve of the latter, quantity for quantity. Surprisingly, a slice of white bread or a glass of milk contributes prac- tically nothing to the iron ration.

Ono who is too wise an observer or the business of others, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bens, will often .be stung for his cariosity.—Pope, Canadian gold production during the first quarter of 1911 amounted to 1,293,518 ounces compared with 1,261,535 ounces in the first three months of 1910.
