Old Teresa, the Mexican woman, thinks Sten- hart hus "got a devil" in him, The newcomer goes close to the sick man's window, waits until the nurse is out of the room, then speaks one word slowly, distinctly: "Sherwin," The sick man is startled, fearful, CHAPTER II Her blue eyes widened. Another question was on her lips, but a door opened suddenly and the trained nurs2 came down the long corridor toward them. Jane turned quickly. wrong, Fanny?" The nurse shook her head. "He's gaining all the time." . "Fine! Jane turned ia an ex- planatory- way to the stranger: "A "Anything Jriend of my brother's, Mr. Sten- hart, was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia here; we couldn't let him Ie moved and he's been having a hard time. Miss Sewell, this is the friend in need who helped old Mac. Mr.--?" she looked around. "Actually, I don't know your name!" 'lohn--""he began, and stopped, momentarily confused. "But there's more that!" she laughed. His face burned; he was trying to remember what name he had given old MacDowell; unaccount- ably «it seemed to evade him, and agam he hated to lie to this girl, "Hazlet," he said at last. * * * to it than Her eyes met his for an instant and he thought there was a ques- tioning look in them, but she wrote his name down mechanically on a slip of paper on the desk. "John Hazlet." It had a bizarre effect; he knew that it would be hard to get used to it. He stared at it oddly him- self, then suddenly aware that his look might be a self-betrayal, he averted his eyes, conscious that he had lost the thread of the talk be- tween Jane Keller and the nurse; but Jane was sorting the mail for 'her. Here are yours, Fanny, and some for Max." She held them out, and the nurse, gathering them all up, departed hastily toward the sick- room, The man's eyes followed her in- tently, not with any observation of the woman herself, but as if the door, that she presently opened and closed behind her, had a fasci- nation for him. For a moment he forgot where he was, scarcely sen- © sed thé unfamiliar outlines of the old ranch-house hall, and was only conscious of Stenhart--not a hund- ted feet away! But the girl beside him leaned forward and, taking a pencil from the desk, drew a line under the two words that she had . previously written on the slip of paper. " 'John Hazlett'" she repeated 'quictly; then lifting her honest eyes to his, she added: "that's not your name." } * * * Her look threw him a challenge even niore forceful than her words. Again he felt the hot blood rush to his face, but he straightened hims 'f. Her eyes seemed to reach to something deep down in his consciousness. A strange confusion swept him; his mouth went dry. He could not meet her with an other falsehood; there was some- thing about her that seemed to drag the truth out of him. | "You're right," he admitted harshly, "it's not my name." She stood a moment silent, the wind from the open window beside them stirring her dark "soft hair, then she bent down and lit a small lamp on the desk. "Isn't that an unusual thing for: a stranger to admit so easily?" she asked. "I scarcely know what I ought to do about it -- but," she hesitated, "I don't believe you've come here with -any thought of harming us, and--well, it's this way, Jim and I have often talked it over, so many men come west to . get a new start; to retrieve mis- takes--if they can! We've felt they ought to have a fair chance, that a man must have a chance to come back! I--" she gave him a frank smile--"you won't fail me, will you, if I agk no questions but give you fairly your chance here--to make good?" ' * * * She saw his gray eyes darken and there were hard lines about his lips; he seemed suddenly older than she had thought him. Then he pulled himself together and met her look squarely. "You may trust me so far--I came here with no thought of harm to you or your brother, I can af- firm that on my soul!" he declared hoarsely. She nodded. "I'm sure of it, and, because I'm sure of it, I'm going to give you your fair chance. I'm not even asking your true name, but--" she smiled again and held out per hand--"I ask you to make good" He had a confused consciousness of the touch of her soft, cool fing- ers and: an overwhelming impulse to speak out, to tell her all, swept him. He paled under his tan and their eyes held each other, It secem- ed as if he must speak, then there: was a flash in the night outside the window, a sharp report and some- thing ripped through his sleeve and spat on the wall behind them. - * . Jane gave a statrled cry, but be- fore she could move, almost before she could think, the man beside her had put out the lights; he seemed to do it with one sweep of his arm, Then she felt herself lifted and put back beyond the window. His voice was in her ear. She had felt his strong arms as he swept her out of danger, and she made out his figure as he leaped through the window. There was another sharp report and then the sound of a struggle outside. The girl fled lightly to the kitchen to give the alarm; she must rouse the men, who she knew were at supper. It must be Jordan, and Jordan was a hard man to handlé. Suddenly she felt a thrill of fear for the man who had leap- ed out in the dark; he mustn't be hurt, he mustn't! It did not seem to her at the moment that he was a stranger. He was a brave man; she had seen his face when he swept out the lights. = She ran, panting, to get help for him, "Keep still--I'll get himl" * ® * At the moment he needed it. He had leaped out on a crouching fig- ure, there had been a struggle for the pistol, and then the two. rolled over on the turf, fighting silently, desperately, each man trying to get the other's throat. In the dark, Jordan had the advantage; he knew the ground, knew where the slope would set his adversary rolling down over a ledge of rock. Strug- gling and cursing, he dragged that way. He had long arms and an iron grip, but he had met his match; this man whom he had never seen before had been trained in a hard school, He rolled Jordan over and got his hand almost on his throat, then suddenly they both went over the ledge. Below it, Jane had planted poppies. The two men fell together, struck and un- clenched. Jordan leaped up and ran, His antagonist had struck his head on a stone, and there was an in- stant in which he saw stars and heard the shouts from the house; Jane had roused the vacqueros! He rose dizzily to his feet, brush- ed his hand across his eyes, and tried to discern the fleeing figure. The moon was just rising behind the mountains; the sky was silver with it, but the earth was dark, like the botom of a cup. He ran for- ward, stumbling now and then on . strange ground, but, as the sky brightened, he made out the dark , figure ahead of him, still running. He did not know where they were going. "Behind them was a confu- sion of sounds, in front he began to hear the cattle in the corrals, but he kept on.

R. Buckminster Fuller, Wichita, Kans., designed this hemispherical ' house "from the inside out." Based on aircraft principles, the house weighs only 8000 pounds, packs into cylinder 16 x 414 feet. A Wichita aircraft plant plans to begin mass production of 50,000 such houses soon after January, 1947. It's air-conditioned, too, and if the owner gets restless at any time, he can pack up--house and everything --in two days and be on his way. If it is just the arrangement of rooms that bores him, the Fuller house offers a solution to that, also. He can just push the wills around and divide the house up almost any way he wishes. What it may lack in conventional appearance from the outside, it makes up in intriguing "ovolving shelves" in the partitions, closets that include plexi-glass-enclosed hat racks and have revolving doors, and the curved balcony around the liv- ing room. The house carries with it a unique service guarantee. If it gets out of order, the drain gets stopped up, or a rivet comes loose, just call on the Fuller service man, Fuller houses are built to stand, and to resist everything from ter- mites to a 180-mile hurricane, CHRONICLES By Gwendoline P. Clarke of GINGER FARM . . . . . Permane: t waves and trouble with the bull don't make a good combination--at least that is the It also makes one ask the question--"Why go farming ?"--Dbut unfortunately it doesn't supply the answer. * * * It was this way: I had an ap- pointment to get a permanent at "9 J'clock Monday morning. It was a job that had long been delayed and which I would gladly have postponed still further only self- respect plus the hounding of a husband drove me to it. So there it was -- 9 o'clock Monday morn- ing. At the time I made the ap- pointment I knew of no reason, other than disinclination, why I shouldn't keep it, even though it did come at an incenvenient hour. Came Monday morninz , . . son Bob went out to the barn. Partner followed a little later. In a short while Partner was back, very white, and looking fcr a bull ring that we always keep in reserve, Ten minutes later Bob re-appear- ed, looking even worse than his Dad, and 'avouring one arm. He told me to phone for the "vet" to help put a new ring in the bull's nose. « x % I don't now even yet all that really happencd, or who did what, except that Bob got penned up in the bull-pen, nearly got his arm broken, and jumped over the side ~of the pen to escape. Then Part- ner was trying to do something, slipped or else the bull pushed him, and he'fell with hi. feet and legs under the bull, Somehow he managed to get away. After wait- ing as long as I could at the house I sneaked down to the barn and found that while they were wait- ing for the "vet", my men had fanaged between the two of them, to get the new ring into the. ani- mal's nose. Naturally they were taking a chance--but it was also a risk to have a full grown bull tied in a stall without a ring in his nose. Fortunately he was not cross but he was very nervous and excited and, when Bob jumped over the side of the pen, he was just about as scared as Bob, - x x Well, T need hardly tell you I wasn't worrying much about keep- 'ing an appointment with a hair- dresser at that time. However, half an hour later I went out again --just to reassure myself--and found all was juiet on the barn- yard front, with Partner insisting that I get away after my hair-do. « % % So I went, and when I got back at noon there was dinner to get, and after dinner all my morning chores to do and this story to write. To tell you the truth the spirit was not very willing and the flesh even less so, and I succumb- ed to temptation, turned on the radio to listen to Douglas Abbott addressing the Canadian Club, and settle myself comfortably on the couch "for just a few minutes." But alas what Mr. Abbott said I'll never know. The only thing I heard was the telephone ringing. It brought me to my feet in a daze and I am still wandering what kind of answers I gave to the per- son who was calling. I hope they were sensible because it was all in connection with dishes and things I was to take in preparation for a banquet for which our Institute is catering this wek, and of which you will pr.bably hear more in our next, Sunday School Lesson Jesus and His Friends Jchn 15: 12-21, Golden Text-- Ye are my friends if ye do the things which [ command you.

When the disciples rebuk- ed the fathers and mothers Jesus was indignant and declared child- likeness was the trait of all true discipleship.

He made Himself at home alike at the feast of the orthodox Pharisee and at the feast of the despised publican, God's Purpose Toward Sinners The Icading religionists of. the time bitterly criticized Jesus be- causé. He was accessible to those who disregarded their ceremonial law. It was a powerful thrust which they aimed at Him when they declared: "This man receiveth sinners, and catetl. with them, Their idea of goodness was that which manifested itself in with- drawing from the bad Christ's idea of goodness was that which mani- drawing from the bad, Christ's idea to that end He rioved among them.

SMITH J Try Something New Most of us are too conscrvative about vegetable and flower variet- ies. There are many new offer- ings in today's sced catalogues. vegetables and flowers developed or vastly improved during the war, For years we have been content to grow a very limited variety-- beans, carrots, peas, lettuce and potatoes anl corn covering the complete range in too many gard- ens. This is a great mistake -as scores of vegetables can be grown to perfection anywhere in Canada and, in addition, there are usually several different varieties of each. In recent decades there. has been some improvement but the average garden is still limited. Improved Varieties In addition to the standard kinds noted above, three are many others that should be included such as spinach, swiss chard, pep- pers, turnips, parsnips, onions, broad beans, kohl rabi. red cab- bage. musk and water melons, broccoli, endive. cress, parsley, liead lettuce, brussels sprouts, cel- ery, chinese cabbag., some of the white sweet corns, as well as the bantam, roy beans, etc. , Another -oint too often over- looked is the introduction of jm- proved varieties, Some of the old standbys of ten years 2go are com- pletely overshadowed by earlier, smoother or harder sorts. By choosing carcfully one can create a vegetable -garden that will not only have much more varicty than was possible a generation ago but one that will yield higher quality and over a much longer period.
