He commended the way it had been dressed and was discreet in the matter .of questions. He had known young men to get into trouble before: Virgina wandered restlessly from room to room. She looked after Stanley's wants attentively but avoid- ed being alone with him. It was im- possible that Stanley's suspicions could be true, and yet they came hauntingly back to her. How mem, of the sten that Lee knew thought it a man's right to take the law nto his own: hands? Perhaps Lee did also, and to hien Stanley Bradish belonged in the enemy's camp. She remembered Lee's ironic regard of Stanley on the night of the fire; when liereally might have put personal feeling aside. And Lee knew all sorts of people—like that swanning Ram- rez family, quiet{ to love and to hate. Stanley had called them "too zealous friends." It was all maddening and impos- sible. Only one thing stood out def- initely. A guest in her house had been the victim of a cowardly attack from ambush, almost within the limits of her own land, That could not be passed in silence, Footsteps on the veranda caught her attention. She went to the door, "Good evening," said Lee. "I hear Bradish has met with an accident." "I should scarcely call in that;" Virginia chilled instantly under this casual reference, She stood in the doorway, barring the entrance with her slim body. neither inviting him to enter nor giving hint the oppor- tunity to come unasked. She looked at him squarely, her chin luted, every line of her a challenge. "Stanley was shot in the back this afternoon by some contemptible as- sassin who hadn't the courage to let himself be seen. He is a guest M nay house and a friend, and I shall ex - peat every man connected with the Circle V or interested in it to make it his business to find the man who did it." His steady eyes were on her, un- smilingly. "Men don't usually ask women to fight their battles for them" he commented, "He hasn't asked anything!" she flamed back at hint. "I have a right to give what order's I wish in my own house." A. change carte over Lee's regard of her, something ironic and baffling almost sad. Then the fleeting look rues gone, "llope you find your man," Ile said politely,. "Is Bradish in? I'dlike to see him. Alone, plt,ase." There was nothing truculent about the request, He said it pleasantly, even cheerfully, but with a certain definiteness of tone as if he ex- pected his wishes to be complied with. For one blazing second Vir- ginia, held her ground. Then she stepped back, head high, and with a brief gesture indicated the 'room where Stanley might be found. Every. nerve was tingling with the infeiat- ing realization that if . she did not Obey, brown hands like tempered steel would pick her up and neatly set., her aside, Then she was alone, with the mem- My . of a deep, quiet glance and an odd touch on her shoulder, a hand that lingered for a -moment, and was f from a hip abroad to find MattBlair, !further sound those 7 save hostile re e - verbetations just dying away, The .3sis foster father and owner of theeool depths of the ravine lay around.

He had pyoteete{l the honor of his house efficiently i and in hie own way Stanley drew in his sweating horse only when . he came in view of the Circle V ranch house. Virginia sit- ting at Mart's desk, heard a stir outside; heavy steps, voices; with Stanley's at the end: "Easy, now; that's all right" Then slower steps i across the veranda, and iter aunt's terrified scream. "Stanley, what has happened? Virginia.!" Fear gripped her, not altogether for Stanley.. She ran. Stanley was just coming in. Blood stained his shirt on the shoulder, blood was crusted on the' fingers' of one hand, where he had pressed theist against the wound to staunch the flow. He moved slowly, as if weak froth -loss of blood. Curly was just back of hint, politely ready to serve, but apparently more interested than concerned. "Stanley! What is the matter?" "Olt, nothing to be frightened about." He smiled pallidly. "Some- body winged me, Just a pleasant little attention." Mrs. Archer moaned, but Virginia was very quiet. She was as pale as Stanley now„ but her voice was steady and cool. "Sit down here in this big chair. Curly, please help me." They worked .quickly. A call to Ling brought warm 'nater, iodine and bandages, and Curly's strong fingers made short work of the stain- ed shirt, There were sticky, crust- ed stains underneath, and a clean little hole. Mrs. Archer moaned again, Curly squinted at the wound jud- icially: "Whoever plugged ye must've been considerable higher than you was," he said innocently, "Did ye get a' chance at him? There was a momentary tighten- ing of lip and nostril, but Stanley met the inquiring eyes coolly, "I don't go around armed," he said curtly, "and he took good care not to show himself. I was on my way here, just entering the mouth'. of Turkey Gulch." Mrs. Archer shot a triumphant glance at her niece; Virginia looked steadily down at the wound she was bathing, Curly's brick red face was as ,nearly expressionless as a human face can be, The mouth of Turkey Gulch was in a direct downward line frons Lae Heilister's cabin. "We should havea doctor, Curly. Will you get him?" That was the only comment, Virginia made, "I'll go, and bring hint," suggested Curly obligingly. Mrs, Archer fol- lowed him with a nervous backward glance at Virginia as she left the zoom. '"Stanley, how . did it happen?" Virginia's low ,voiced question. came the moment they were alone. "Why, just. as I' told you, Vest,'" His moment of calculated hesitation was. significant. "Somebody took a pot shot at me from a hillside, but I was lucky enough to get off with this. Don't worry about it." "But you suspect someone," she persisted. "Who is it?" "No one that I would care to ac- cuse;'. he answered evasively.

The reasons, of course, if, indeed, there be need for the mention of reasons,— is not the too often attributed fickleness of the buying public, but rather that other things in numberless quant- ities lay 'claim to the buying power of the public and that it takes more than single and casual mention of articles to make impressions; and that each day brings to the market new members of the buying public. • Fundamental and basic as such a etatement is, it is well for all of us who are concerned with distributing things which have been made, to the places and peoples where' they are used, to repeat it frequently to ourselves. For there has been too much advertising waste lasulting from the very lack of—repetition. Toq many beginnings of advertising programs, based on well -laid plans, which have for varied reasons not gone beyond the beginning stage. And thereby they have made a squandering of the cost of that beginning. But what is more serious, they have failed of fruition for lack of continuity, which is, broadly, another way of saying.
