gond its brightness. Tile glare
pressed palinfully into Virginia's
eyes, blinded him from her sight.
It was as if he had ridden -west of
the sun.
Troopers came and escorted her
to their camp. A kindly officer
questioned her briefly. Food and
water were brought to her. The
twilight stole about her. Gray army
blankets were spread for her, and
as darkness came she selpt.
When she awoke under the star-
studded bowl of the sky, Jim Ran-
dall was bending over her, deep
worry in his blue eyes. His voice
was unsteady est he talked to her.
"Lt. Barrett told me about Steve
Barron," he said. "The first decent
thing Barron ever did,"
"1 can understand him now," Vir-
ginia said. "He told me -all."
An uneasy expression kept play-
ing over his face. "i came to bar-
gain with Natchi for your release,"
he said. "But Capt. Hammond,
coming up from the south, chanced
upon the Apaches and attacked.
Hammond didn't know of your cap-
ture. It was too late to correct
the blunder. Hammond drove the
band toward my position. I had
to attack -knowing what it would
mean to your safety-"
"I was to be taken to Mexico,"
Viriginia said flatly. "If Steve Bar-
ron hadn't come -e" She broke off,
shuddering.
"We crushed Natchi's band and
took him captive," Jim went on.
"After the skirmish, I struck out
with a dozen troopers trying to find
the camp. I meant to push south
at daybreak -hunting you."
* * *
He sat beside her. Virginia lay
still, watching hint, His face was
tired, hie eyes lonely. He was very
sober. with no smile at all. He was
silent for a long time, thinking his
own thoughts, his eyes on the
desert. The glare of a fire painted
his cheeks a ruddy color.
He said finally, his voice dull,
"You'll he going back to Phil Law-
rence now. He'll be waiting for you.
You're going to be happy -and Pm
glad."
She did not speak, surprised by
the solemn depth of his voice.
"There's one thing I want to say,"
he went on, "though you dont want
to hear it, It's uselessly said, too.
You hate me. But I want you to
know His voice trailed away.
Virginia stared at him, wide-eyed
now, from where she lay. "Yes?'
alta said thickly,
"It's this," he told her. "I love
you."
A tremor went through her. Her
heart seemed to atop, then start
again to pound furiously, ,She felt
the color drain from her face. Then
she retnembered the last time she
had seen hint, how he had held her
in his arms in the desert moon-
light -and how two hours tater he
had gone to Lanya Correy. A hol-
low heaviness came in her; entered
her voice.

"Dear Anne llirst: Please help
met My husband has started dating
a girl who lives 1" another town.
I know the days
he is going to
be with her. I
don't know what
to do.
"He never
takes the any
place with him
now, and is
hardly pleasant.
The way he acts,
I cannot show hien any affection.
(He also receives letters from her.)
"I have tried to be a good wife
and a good mother. I do not want
to leave my husband, nor my home.
"Go away," she said, "Please, go
away."
She turned her face away from
him. She heard him rise, was aware
of hien standing beside her looking
down at her. Then he was gone.
Phil Lawrence came to the little
adobe house in Santa Bonita when
Virginia sent for him. He cause
slowly, reluctantly, limping on his
injured leg. Virginia saw him
clearly now; he had changed. He
was not the youth she had once
known affection for. He was a
stranger.
They faced one another in the
cool shaded room, actually very
close but seemingly a million miles
apart. Virginia's voice came sur-
prisingly steady.
"Phil, you are in love with Lanya.
That is true, isn't it?"
"It's true, Virginia," he replied
hollowly. "I love Lanya. I've want-
ed her for so long ... even while
1 kept writing letters of my love
to you. It was to Lanya that 1
wrote that message that brought
you here. Steve Barron had been
annoying her. I didn't send it. It
lay forgotten. Then I must have
started a letter to you on its re-
verse side. I left the letter to pre-
pare my dinner. Just as I was
about to eat Barron's men came
and drove me away. You were
puzzled over that uneaten meal.
Hank Muidane stopped by the
ranch, found the letter, and its en-
velope, and sent it on its way. He
couldn't know the letter was un-
finished, for he can't read."
"1 understand, Phil," Virginia
said. "You were merely afraid to
tell me the truth."
"I'm a coward, Virginia."
"Don't ever be again, Phil. Don't
ever be afraid again. Go to Lanya
now, and start over with her. Steve
Barron will never return."
He gave a bark of a laugh. "If I
do that," he said, "Jim Randall will
send me to prison for those stage
holdups. He warned me-"
"Warned you!" Virginia said
puzzled.
"Yes -or rather threatened mo.
I was to give up Lanya and go on
with you. He went to Lanya that
night he was camped outside of
town -and told her she had to
break with me."
"Phil) Are you sure?"
Her eyes were shining, her cheeks
bright with color. Ile stared, then
nodded.
"I'm sure," he said. "It's true. He
means to look out for you."
To look out for her! Virginia's
laughter was almost hysterical.
Olt, it's all right, Phil," *he
cried, "Go to Lanya. And if Jim
Randall comes to you, tell him I
broke with you -not you with mel"
He regarded her blankly for es
moment seeming reluctant 'to go.
Then he turned and walked out of
the house and out of her life.
Virginia sent her luggage on to
Lannasa the next day, for the trip
home. She followed, riding through
the bright morning with a rancher's
family who also meant to board
the Lannasa stage.
They reached Fort Winfield at
midday, and the post commander's
invitation to lunch was not to be
refused, Virginia saw Jim Randall
across the parade, but she could
not catch his eye. Theis while ate

* There are two things you can
* do:
* fell four husband you know
* of Isis philandering- after all, if
* he is so brazen as to receive let-
* hers from the girl, he can hardly
* wonder at that. Ask him where
* you have failed in being the only
* woman in his life. This may un-
* fold criticisms of you which you
* did not suspect existed and pre-
* sent a situation about which you
* can really do .something.
* Or you can ignore the whole
* circumstance. Go your customary
* way, without acknowledging that
* your life has lost its meaning.
* And wait for the consequences -
* the affair dying a natural death,
* or your husband asking for a
* divorce,
* Should he ask that, I urge you
* to refuse. And for his sake.
* Deserting a faithful wife and
* leaving children fatherless is not
* a step tot be taken on impulse.
* An affair so recently begun is
* never reason enough for a separa-
* tion; it may be a flash in the pan,
* an outcome of some change in his
* nature for which his age or his
* present mood is responsible, and
* for which you are not to blame,
* By refusing divorce now, you pro-
* tett hint against dashing into
* another marriage which he might
* regret in six Months.
* Tell hint that if, in a year, he is
* still of the same mind. you will
* consider it. But not until that
* time.
* Remember that so long as you
* are his wife, he cannot marry
* anyone else.
* If you had told Inc more about
* your life together, I could counsel
* you more definitely. You must
* choose which course seems best;
* only your daily life with your Itus-
* band, and his temperament and
* your own, can determine that.
* * *
If your husband is wandering,
choose your course wisely. If you
confide your problem to Anne Hirst,
fully and frankly, she will help you.

1.4 SUNDAY SCliQOL,
LESSON
By Rev, Barclay Warren
"THE STIk'FERING SERVANT"
Isaiah 53;1-2
Golden Text: ."Surely He Has
borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows." Isaiah 53:4,
If one will read ,today's lesson
and then read. the 'account of....
Christ's passion and death in
Matthew, Mark, Luke or Jahn,: he
cannot help but be amazed at the
accuracy. of Isaiah's picture. How
did he know, centuries before, of
the manner and significance of
Messiah's sufferings? There is only
one answer: Divine revelation.
The law said, "He that is hanged
is accursed of God," Dent. 21:23.
Here is Jesus Christ, God's Son,
bearing in Himself your sins and
my PPins, it helps to bring this mat-
ter nearer to our hearts if we read
it, using the singular pronouns, ex.,•
"He was wounded for my tians-
gressions, He was bruised ton my
iniquities; the chastisement of ;my
Peace was upon Him, and with His
stripesI am healed."
The cross that was once the syid-.
bol of shame has become the sign
of glory. Here God shored His
unspeakable-, love for tic• T' •rh
this offering •once made, all who
will may find forgiveness and
cleansing, for their sins. 'Tis not
the cross we worship, but, the
Christ of the cross.
"The Christ of the •cross is the
theme of my song;.
'The wonderful Christ of the cross.
He atonement has Blade, He my
ransom has paid,
So I'll. praise Him, the Christ of
the cross."
