"I came out here, Tall- maty, because I've been hearing these ridiculous ' stories that have been going around out here about me," he said in his sneering voice. "Did you work for the Republic "people last winter?" he asked. "Certainly 1 worked for them. I was a rigger on their pay roll for a while." B ) "It's the Republic people who've been after me--so Oliver says," Harvey said dully. oY "This," said Gary grimly, "puts me in a spot where it's going to be necessary for fie to prove some- thing--as you probably realize, Kimball. And if I happen to establish something that isn't cre- ditable to you--well, you started this business, please remember." He walked out of the room with his head up and his face tingling with wild, angry blood. . » Mona Lee's eyes had followed him, and he had seen loyalty in them and unbelief, She was not standing with Oliver. But Ade- laide had sat silenti--and Harvey kad kept his eyes averted and had not said a word. Tingling with wild anger, Gary went up to his room. He began throwing things into his suitcase, snd then stopped long enough to sit down at the desk and dash off a letter to the Republic Qil Com- pany. Fortunatey, he remembered the name of the man who had hired him last fall. He stated his case bluntly and asked for a collect telegram in reply, refuting Oliver's absurd accusations, Harvey, Gary suspected, was a littie too sensible to believe Oiver cntirely--and yet, he was not go- mg to accept anything now, till it was definitely proven. He snap- ped his suitcase shut, fastened it, and started downstairs. On the landing Mona Lee was waiting for him. She laid a detaining hand on his arm and her montherly face wag troubled and anxious. « s ° "I'll take you to town myself," she announced crisply. "And I know a good place for you to stay --the woman .is a friend of mine. 1f you're bound to go, come along." None of the others appeared when the car was backed out, and Gary flung his suitcase into it and Sunday School _ Lesson February 10 hires The Disciplines of Experience Numbers 14: 11-24 Golden Text For whom the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he: delighteth. Proverbs 3:12, ' God's Promise God had promised the Israelites that he would give Canaan to theni and would drive out all their ene- mies, Yet they believed him not. They rebelled against God by say- ing that they would supplant Moses by a captain of their own choosing who would lead "them back to Egypt : God in His anger threatens to ex- terminate them. But Moses invokes the mercy of God in a prayer for his people, a prayer altogether self- less, spiritual and sublime--he pleaded the honor of the Lord be: - fore mankind; the power of God to achieve His purpose; the long- suffering of the Lord in dealing witha sinning race. Justice of the Lord Israel did not deserve mercy but the justié¢e of the Lord required that tunishment should overtake the transgressors, Nevertheless the prayer of Moses was heard and an- sewered and the people were not wholly exterminated. . The people of Israel had sinned, were pardoned and saved as a na- tion, but nevertheless sin must be pumshed, Not one of those who had rebelled against the Lotd was al- lowe to enter Canaan. hey were to scrve anocher period of proba- tion inthe wilderness, and the: ten faithless spies died at once by the plague. : The people were aroused tu the enormity of their sin and mourred bitterly.

At length came th:ir reward for they alone entered Canaan, God wants those who will trust and obey Him fully, and such wili be abundantly blessed, The power of intercessory mayer is shown in that God a.isweres Moses in the manner of his prays. er: "according to thy word" It re- sulted in a whole nation heing ziven an opportunity to repent and ~hatge 'ts course, ' climbed in. He did not calm down ecoough to face his situa- tion until he was in the room Mona Lee had found for him. He went out to a drug store, presently, spent some of his prec- ous capital for a sandwich and a drink and some stamps, And un- ti midnight he wrte letters--to every oil concern and rigging out- fit that he knew about, asking for a job He was wakened early by his landlady, who tapped apologe- tically at" the door and when he opened it a crack and blinked daz- edly at her, said, "So sorry 10 wake you, Mr. Tallman, but there's a young man here who insists on seeing you." : The young man pushed past her. "Hello. Lug," greeted Bill Grant. Gary was definitely glad to see Bill, "What the heck bust?" demand- ed Bill, sitting on the bed. "I went to Mason's and there was the aarned well going down--and they told me you'd quit--" . ° . Gary told him, not withholding anything, - "Goes to show," Bill stated, "that what you've got to be is # son-in-law. This morning when I saw her, I thought she didnt look any too happy." "Did she say anytyhing--Ade- laide, I mean?" Gary tried not to sound eager. "I asked her for a date, and she said she was sorry--she was pretty well written up for some time to come, Have you found out who cut the water line and set this snide lawyer to sue?" "No, but I intend to. In the meantime, I've got to have a joo. Know any oil comany that needs ike services of a bright young man right now?" ) "That's what I came to talk about.

But, between you and grandpa, 1 think they're pretty sure they've got oil. If you work with me, I can save you a little on that shoulder." "I don't like Grice-Morgan very much, Bill" "Neither do I.

The bobby sox era in high school, be said in an interview, is a natural for flat feet, explaining: "Moccasins, saddals and the like are as bad for girls as the too-high heels our mothers used to wear." He predicted if the bobby soxers continued to wear them for long their arches would pancake and soon they'll have "sled runmers for feet." : : When Mrs. John McHese, an Australian, came to the U.

Clarke of GINGER FARM ~~ The other day Partner passed the following remark: "What w& want in this country is not more work but better work." The reason for that somewhat cryptic statement was a new shirt, an ordinary plain work shirt whica I had brought home for him that day. To start with the material wasn't much mote than good mus- lin, cut to a pattern and then thrown together, with stitching that ran off the seams, and thread ends left hanging everywhere, [n fact the whole shirt was such a mess I wouldn't have looked at it twice a few years ago--unless it were to comment on its poor work: manship. But now I buy a thing like that--and try not to look at it at all. What burns me up is the fact that the manuacturers have their finger on the public pulse, as it were, and know just what they can get away with. And I suppose as long as there is more money than merchandise the public will continue to be cxploited. When mannfacturers find goods harder to sell then competition will be keener, each one will try to do a little better than the other in order to make his goods more attractive -and of better quality. Those days cannot come too soon. Why, we have even bought milk pails, brought them home .and found them leaking like a seive. " * * * Another problem these days is the butter supply, which threatens to become more acute and may even result in a still further cut in cur weekly ration, Federations, conventions, and this and that or- ganization seem to be getting their heads together and wondering what can be done about it. And the solution could be so simple! If the 2c a quart consumer sub- sidy were taken off milk and placed on churning cream instead, then the situation would 'soon right itself. But of course to keep the milk at its present price level to producers, fluid milk to the con- sumer would have to be raised to 12c a quart. There is no doubt sub- tidies served a good purpose in their time but for all that they are- rart of a queer system, with farm- HELP BUILD UP RED BLOOD TO GET MORE' STRENGTH If your blood LACKS IRON!

' Savoury Stews Stews afford the ingenious home- maker a wide scope for her imagination. Try a cup of sour cream in a veal stew, or a little curry powder in a lamb stew. Mar- joram and thyme or a little bay leaf are good seasonings. Experi ment cautiously and taste care- fully. The flavour should be subtle. Add the vegetables just in time to cook tender. Many a stew has been spoiled by overcooking tne vegetables, Additional salt will be required when the vegetables are added. If the meat is dredged with flour, it develops flavour, thickens the gravy and gives it a more at- tractive colour, To Make A Good Stew Cut meat in uniform small pieces. Season well and dredge with fluir, if desired. Brown meat in hot fat. Add only enough liquid to cover. Cover closely and cook slowly at simmering temperature until ten- der--about 174 to 2 hours. Never allow a stew to boil hard. Add the vegetables just in time to cook tender--about 14 hour be- [ore serving. Remove meat and vegetables be- fore thickening the liquid for gravy.
