"Roy Dil- lon" saddled his mount odpacked ed on his few belongings. Ten, by side, he and the girl trotted down to the river's edge and rode towards the ranch buildings. He found out that the Rocking Arrow worked only three hands — PionGlassell, the foreman; Gimp Jeaver, a puncher; and Mescal, a Mexican handy man. The foreman and the puncher had left at an early hour for town. Sarah did not expect them back until noon. The cook a Mexican woman by namethe of Rosa. at the bunk After cleaning up house, Roy was invited to partake of breakfast with his new boss. This be discovered, was customary. There was no mess house for the hands. During the meal, Sarah questioned him closely as to his former posi- tions. He talked glibly, but he felt ill at ease and uneomfartable. Though- his statements about his for- mer jobs were true, he did not ike the idea of hiding his prison term from her and traveling under false colors, under an assumed name. Too, he found himself hard pressed to re- main cold to her charm. Troubling Times "Dad died four years ago, Roy." She used the first name uncon- sciously. "I've had to ramrod the spread ever since, but"— She smiled and loked up at him. "I love it. At least, I did until last month." "Had trouble lately, ma'am?" He was politely curious. She found herself opening her heart to hint. Perhaps it was be- cause he struck her as a man who could be depended upon. She liked his wide -set, frank gray eyes. "I suppose you've been wondering why I was so rude to you this morn- ing? We didn't use to treat lone waddies that way. But during the last month, a lot of troubling things have happened. We've lost cattle — quite a lot of them. My foreman has been shot at twice. Once I came home with a souvenir." She lifted her hat from a chair and removed the hatband• The felt was torn where a lead slug had creased it, missing her head by a fraction of an inch. Roy nodded grimly. "That's too close for comfort. Got any enemies you know of?" She shook her head. "Dad was al- ways well liked and I thought was, too.. The Diamond H is to the north of us, and the Circle Bar 9 to the south. The\ both have plenty of range and water and are good neighbours. They're big outfits and wculdn't cause me trouble.' •Someone knocked on the rear door. A swarthy Mexican entered. "Good morning, Mescal," said Sar- ah. "This is Roy Dillon, I'e just hir- ed him. He isn't much to look at, but he's all wool and a reed wide." The Mexican's face split into a delighted grin. "Gracious!" Then "I have bad news, more of the cattle, The best wans." The girl's eyes Mescal?" sure, his face sobered. Seno: ita. Ten she ccs mcesing. "It ees so, Senorita. I have them in the arroyo. Lasta night, there were feefty. Now there ees but for- ty. I combed the hills." "We won't Sarah turned to Roy. to come wait for Pieos and Gime back. Saddle your horse. We'll see if we can't pick up the trail." Her lips had set in a straight line. Roy gulped the rest of his coffee. A few minutes later, he and Mescal were following their boss up through the mesquite -studded hills. They reached a narrow hog back, followed its shale ledge, and dipped down into a box -like canyon. Here a small herd of white-faced cattle were contentedly grazing. Roy saw instantly that there was only one way out of the canyon. He dipped down to the draw and looked for a trail. There were hoof marks going in both directions, but beyond on the brow of the hill, there were none. No trail to --follow. Finally, they returned to the ranch. A Chilly Reception Roy unpacked his warbag and • spread his blankets over his bunk. A. little later, he heard the drum of hoofs and came to the door to gaze at the approaching riders. In a slither of gravel, they reined' in. One was a short, stocky man, 'grizzled of hair. The other was tall, dark -eyed, and handsome in his way, but there was a cruel twist to his lips. Neither man saw the new ad- dition to their forces. They shuffled straight for the ranch house. Roy rolled a cigarette and lit it. . There was something familiar aboutr the taller of the two men. .'His eyesg, narrowed• thoughtfully. Then, the two men came from the house. They strode toward him, their spur chains jingling. The tall one stopped before Roy and swept him with a cold eye. "Howdy!" he said harshly. "The boss says she's hired yuh. I'm Picos Glasse]. Mister Glassel to you." The man's tone angered Roy, but he forced a smile. "Howdy! I'm Roy Dillon. Pleased to meet you." He did not offer his hand. A strange gleam came into the foreman's eyes. "Roy Dillon, eh?" He studied Roy a moment, then said abruptly, "Well, take them chaps off and git to work. You'll be a spud digger on this spread. Me and Gimp'Il do the cat- tle punchin'." His hand dropped menacingly to the butt of his six-gun at his hip. His dark eyes flickered dangerously. The dullest of reds mounted Roy's face, but he gave no other sign of resentment of the insult. A job was a job and, regardless of the fore- man's animosity, he wanted to make good. He left his scarred chaps on a nail in the bunk house, together with his gun belt, and followed the foreman's instructions to the letter. For the rest of the day, with time out for lunch, he sweated in the hot sun dig- ging potatoes and putting them into sacks. Several times in the next few days, he caught Pieos watching him specu- lat'vely. Each 'morning, the foreman and Gimp rode out to the range. Roy had nothing to say to either of them at meal times. He was in no -rood for conversation, anyhow, at the end of a day's work. Sarah seemed to be occupied with affairs of the ranch She always nodded to him pleas ..t;p, but the meals were silent afairs- When Roy had el,—teed up the po- tato patch, P:cos had to set him at other duties. The third day hound him riding the line fence. lie had just comn'c .1 repacring a break and was rt•tar:ning to the corral for some extra staples when he saw his employer swing to the back of her bay. Ordinarily, the big animal was as docile as a lamb un- der his mistress's hand, But for some unknown reason, he was far from it this time. As Sarah's feet slipped into the stirrups, he arched his back and went straight up as if he had boon shot from a gun. To be continues!. fla+.•l,."d.

Eclipses Airman Tells How Camera Can Be Set for "Shots" at Sun From Stratocphere Flights into the stratosphere by airplane and balloon may make ad- ditional observations of the sun's` corona possible between the timesof total eclipse, Speaking at Minneapolis before the concluding session of thse American Astronomical Society's meeting at William College, Major A. W, Stevens of the Army Air. Service stated that from the altitude reached on such flights the sun's corona may be photographed without waiting for an eclipse.• The camera employed r would be, similar to one designed and used by. Dr. Bernard Lyot of the Paris Ob- servatory, with which successful photographs of the brightest details of the corona have been made from the Pic du Midi, in the Pyronees. Focusing of the Camera A lens focus sees the image of the sun on a dark circular screen, just its size, then another lens picks up the faint image of the corona around it and focuses it a second time. Great care is take: to keep all the optical surfaces scrupulously clean and to have all the lenses per- fectly clear:' With the gondola below the bal- loon, which cuts off the view directly overhead, the sun cannot be seen near noon. Therefore observations would have to be made in the morning, from to 10 o'clock, or at a eorresponding One in the afternoon, when the sun is not too high. Only One a Year In such a flight a .balloon of new design might ascend to 85,000 feet, Major Stevens said, but he did not know whether a new flight would be Made, Not more than one could easily be made a year. Er it sh Workers Taking More Milk Workers in factories, mines, work- shops and ofaces in England and Wales' are drinking more than 500,- 000 gallonsof milk a month during working hours. Nearly 5,0Q0 firms are already co - ,operating with the National Milk Pub- licity Council in schemes to make. milk available to their employees, who number 1,600,000, and other fires are joining in day by day. It is estimated that liquid milk consumption through these schemes will soon reach 10,000,000 gallons a year. Study Industrial Relations Queen's University, Kingston, has decided to establish an industrial re- lations section in the school of com- merce and administration, Principal R. 0. Wallace announced last week. Prof. W. A. Mackintosh is director of the school. Decision to establish the section was reached, Principal Wallace said, after consultation, with leading industrialists, labor officials and industrial relations experts. Privilege of dueling with pistols will in future be allowed to all "old boys" of the German Universities. Nearly 127,000,000 pounds of rice will be imported into the Philippines th:s year.

It's the delicate, lightest of cake flour, 27 times finer than ordinary flour, that makes the Dessert Doughnuts so grand and gives you this lovely, smooth-textured'Harvest Cake.

Continue until all flour has been mixed in sep- „grate portions. Wrap in waxed paper. Chill thoroughly. Divide the dough in two parts and place one half on lightly-` floured board; roll dough very lightly, to 1.8 -inch thick- ness. Fold in half on board, lift and lay across middle of pie pan, .unfold it to . cover the plate. Fit carefully on pie; pan to . make sure there are no air spaces -underneath. Trim off . vhe edges 'with scissors, leaving - a. half-inch hangover, then fold hang- over back towards the centre of the pie—like 'the first turn of the hem of a dress. This will help form a seal to keep in the juices of the fill- ing when the top crust goes in place. Roll out other half of dough in a circular piece just large enough to cover the pie plate. Fill bottom crust generously with mince meat, dotting with butter. Moisten with water the little half-inch "hem" around the edge of the lower crust to make top crust stick • to it. Make a few slashes in centre of top to al- low steam to escape. Lay top crust across filling, pulling lightly across filling to prevent sagging when it is baked. Cut away all overhanging edges, trimming off evenly all the way around the pie. Take a floured fork and press the edges together all around. This makes the sealing doubly sure and gives a pretty kr.nkled finish. Bake in hot oven (450 Deg. F.) 15 minutes. Mince Turnovers can be made with the same ingredients by cutting 4 - inch squares of pastry, filling with mince meat and folding in half cornerwise to form triangles. They are -perfect for between meal snacks. All the goodness of mince pie, but in individual quantities which can be eaten without a fork. And now for some Dessert Dough- nuts. These are so good that they can be served at a party, for Sun- day night suppers or any time. They are miniature,' glorified models of the familiar doughnut. :hl'•.

Ravages of persistent drought have raised the number of relief families from 25,000 last year. Estimates fot drought areas in other parts cf the West are still to be made. Ominous signs of scurvy have ap Peared in the West, the minister said, and as a result the government will launch a scheme to move large quanti- ties of surplus fish, cheese, vegetables and fruit from other parts of Canada into the drought areas. in addition to providing direct re- lief In the areas of greatest suffering the Dominion will make direct grants- in-aid to the provinces to help muni- cipalities on the border of the drought belt.
