CH AD TE RV For the second time ner soft, cool fingers touched his, her clear blue eyes looked into his, and he wavered, He reddened to his hair and felt his purpose growing soft at her touch! "It's nothing," he said "an accident. I'm no skilled cow- puncher and I shot up your broth- er's steers, broke legs and did no end of damage." "You saved Jim!" "Which makes me happy," he said, smiling, "but I take no credit. I had luck, that's all." The girl, leaning back against the wall behind her, studied him gravely. "You don't like to be thanked and you won't tell me your name, Can't you--trust me?" " "" "If I told you I couldnt stay here, and I want to stay!" His voice shook. In the shadowed hall she could see that he paled to the lips, but his eyes held hers. "You will stay?" she exclaimed, and her hands trembled slightly as she pressed them against the wall 'behind her. "Don't you realize that you saved my brother We're in your debt." . » » "There's no debt about it--it was my good luck; you owe me nothing," he replied gravely, "If 1 should tell you why | came across those mountains you might send me way." "I haven't told my brother," she said simply. "He's going to do all he can for you; he's in bed now-- I made him go, he was worn out-- but you'll sce him later. 1 told Jim nothing." "Which makes me your debtor," he said at last horsely. Then he turncd and saw her fine face and her clear eyes and choked back the words that came, ending abruptly: "Why didn't you tell him?" "didn't tell" she hesitated, and added quickly -- "because 1 w ant vou to stay!" "You--vou want me to stay?" he exclaimed, his face aflame. He got no answer. Quick as a flash Jane opened the door behind" her, slipped mm and shut it in his face. ) l'or a moment he stood, staring at t1 door in a strange tumult of fceling--she wanted him to stay) He passed his shaking hand across hic eyes; there was a lump in his throat. Then, suddenly, a door opened far down the corridor and he heard Stenhart's voice. It rang strong and hearty; the invalid was getting well! It was like an elec- tric shock to Hazlett. He straight- ened himself, turned sharply and went out of the house. * ". Ld The <un had risen, the wide acres of the runch were bathed in beauty, doves were cooing in the trees, Jane's roses filled the air with fra- grance. He turned and was going toward the creek. He had forgot- ten that he was hungry until he heard old Mace shouting at him. "Grub's waitin!" The old man was beckoning from the low adobe in the rear, Hazlett followed him in the bunk- house. The vacqueros had bolted their food and returned to the work of hunting up the strays. There was no one about but MacDowell, Ah Ling and old Teresa, the house- keeper. The little brown woman chose to wait on the stranger her- self. "You saved the senor," she said, gazing at the young man with in- tent dark eyes. } f "Madre de Dios, but you are a brave man, senor!" she replied fill- ing his cup with Ah Ling's strong coffee. "Teresa likes you a heap better"n she likes Stenhart," laughed old Mac, lighting his pipe. azlett looked around at the lit. tie old woman, So you don't like Stenhart?" She shook her head violently, crossing herself, He has got a dev- M, senor!" The young man laughed loudly, " horsely, thrusting his plate aside. "Come," he said, "tell me--what sort of a devil?" Teresa only shook her head more violently than ever, * * * Old Mac, taking his pipe out of his mouth, laughed outright. "What you goin' to do, Teresa, when he marries Jane?" "God forbid!" said Teresa, roll. ing her eyes. "I heard it was comin' off soon as he got well," teased Mac. cious look, scowling like a witch, "Ca' Then IT will tell her," she said bitterly, "I will tell her what kind of dreams he is having!" MacDowell chuckled. "Dreams? Nightmare, I reckon--hello, there he is now they've got him out under the trees, Jane an' th' nurse, llirst time, too!" As he spoke he pointed out of the window, and Hazlett saw the three figures under a group of live oaks. I'anny Sewell was scating the convalescent in a large wicker armchair while Jane stood talking to them, * * * Teresa, crossing herself and mumbling retreated suddenly on Ah Ling, and upset a dish of fried potatoes. The Chinaman began to scold loudly and old Mac laughed at them, It gave Hazlett his, chance; he rose and went out quick- ly, standing still in the shadow of the house and watching the "group under the trees. The morning light was wonderful, he could sce cvery object clearly. Stenhart looked thin and pale. Fanny Sewell, needing something she had left indoors, turned and went back to the house. Jane was alone with Stenhart. The man watching them turned white; he had no difficulty in seeing that Stenhart was taking advantage of his opportunity, He was leaning forward now to pledd with the girl. And Jane? The watcher could see that she blushed. IFor one tense moment he meant to intervene, it was more than he could bear; then she laughed at the man, turning away. "You're a lot better, Max!" she teased, and her fresh' young voice came clearly to Hazlett's cars, Stenhart answered inaudibly, stretching out his hand, trying to detain her. Jane laughed at him again. Mecanwhile, - the trained nurse, coming to the door of the house, called Teresa. * * * Hazlet heard the slap of moc- casins on the stone floor behind him. He stepped back and caught old Teresa by the arm before she came in sight of the others. "Don't go yet," he said, in a low voice. "If you go with the nurse --Miss Keller will be left alone with Stenbart!" The little old woman stared "up at the big stranger. "Madre de Dios!" she said, be- low her breath, "You hate him, too, ch?" Hazlett nodded grimly. "He and I are old acquaintances, Teresa. Come--tell me what he dreams about?" The old woman shrank. "I promised the nurse; I can not tell senor!" He frowned. What was it that the fair haired nurse and the little. brown woman were hiding from Jane? Had Stenhart told things in his sleep? He pressed his hand hard on the woman's wrist. "Tell mel Se, if IT knw I might keep him from marrying her." Teresa looked up at him with shrewd dark eyes. "I do not know you, senor!" "But you like me beter than Stenhart?" "Tck! I like a bad tooth better, senor!" : "But you won't betray him? You--" "Teresal Oh, Teresal" called Jane's young voice close at hand, She was going up to the house to answer Fanny's summons, Teresa broke away and ran after her, and together, the three women went into the house, Stenhart sat alone under the . trees, a paper open in his hand.

Sunday School Lesson Fellowship With Lord Luke 24:13-21, 25-31, Golden Text. -- And they said one to another, did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with the Living to us the Scriptures. -- Luke 24:32, Journey To Emmaus Two of Christ's disciples, on the day that He was risen from the dead, began their sad journey to Emmaus where one resided. As they journeyed they sought to un- derstand the death and burial of Jesus and the rumors of. His resur- rection that filled the air. Christ drew near the confused pair but they failed to recognize Him. It was His will not to reveal Himself as yet to them. We may imagine Jesus to have walked a few moments by their side and then asked what made them so sorrow- ful. They cannot understand how anyone should fail to know the cause of their sorrow, of the recent events in Jerusalem. Jesus Joins The Disciples Jesus draws them out by feigning ignorance in order to reveal their own ignorance, They regard Him as "Prophet mighty in word and deed," but no more. His death had destroyed 'their hope that He was the Messiah. They admitted Jesus had power given Him by God, but death had ended His power of working miracles, . Then the Stranger, after chiding their lack of wisdom, faith and knowledge of the scriptures, de- clared that the sufferings of which they spoke and the 'glory upon which He had already entered were essential parts of the divine . pro- gramme for the redemption of men, Their Eyes Are Opened The recognized Christ opened the eyes of the disciples at the end of the journey. Their hearts had caught fire from His burning words, They would not let Him travel on in the night but, with Oriental insistence, constrained Him to -ac- cept their hospitality. No sooner had Christ entered the open home than He. changed from guest into host, As He asked the blessing and distributed food, He " became instantly known to His dis- ciples. us by the way, and while he opened Garden Notes l= By GORDON L. SM!TH = Unchecked growth is the real secret of tender vegetables. Crisp beets, carrots, beans, celery and si- milar things without stringiness or tough cores come from .gardens where growth has been hurried along, unchecked by weeds or other neglect. Even if the weather is none too favorable, experienced gardeners can produce this sort of quality, First they keep the soil well cul- tivated, both to keep weeds elimin- ated and also to conserve moisture and encourage quick development in dry weather. They thin those ve. getables which need spacing in or- der that there is proper, even and speedy development. They harvest vegetables when they are at their best, just the right size for eating and before they start to harden and mature, Plant Often . But that is not all, They keep a fresh supply coming on all through the scason by making plantings ten days to two weeks apart right up to the Ist of July. It is the greatest mistake, old gardeners point out, to sow all seed on-a single after- noon, Carrots, beans, beets and many other vegetables can be plant-, ed successfully over a period of from three weeks to eight wecks in almost every part of Canada. If strung out in this way, the harvest is extended equally at the . other end. To cxtend the season still fur. ther one can use early, medium and late varieties. Nowadays a few days of feasting ion fresh peas or corn is not enough, one can have that sort of luxury for wecks on end. One of the Most Effective BUY It your blood lacks fron !

Clarke There is no doubt about it . .. mechanized farming is here to stay, For over a week the air has been heavy with the hum of trac- tors -- tractors of every kind -- green, yellow, orange, red or buff, Some with oil-burning motors, others with gas . .. some on rub- ber wheels, others on steel. Some work like a charm, others act as if the very de'il possessed them. But all of them do a good job as long as the wheels keep turning. Bob has been busy with his tractor all the week, mostly on neighbouring farms as = Partner thought our land was hardly ready to work. * * . You know, if the food situation were not so serious it would be al- most funny -- that is to us farm folk, Instead of the farmer being "the unforgotten man" he now finds himself very well remember- ed. Politicians and the man in the street, who formerly did not care too hoots what the farmer did with his milk or what he got for it are now mightily concerned to see that the farmer gets a square deal and keeps his cows producing, Too often it is forgotten that the supply of these products to the public does not depend en- tirely upon the primary pro- ducers. It sometimes happens that faulty distribution is to blame. Thus, if available supplies are un- cvenly divided between Peter and Paul, Peter naturally goes short if Paul has more than his share. * x 2 Enough of such worries -- they are only temporary, anyway, I want to tell you of a visit Partner and I made last week, out as business but it ended up as plcasure, particularly for me be- cause I was talking to the lady of the house who showed me her hobbies -- and I was thrilled and fascinated beyond words. There were: rabbits -- dozens of them -- white, woolly, pink-eyed, flop-cared bunnies, and just as tame as you please. Every bunny had a name, and he -- or she -- It started - lived in a hutch by his or herself, They didn't even know what hous ing shortage meant. Tlie wool of these bunnies is plucked at regular intervals and spun into yarn and sold at a good price by the enterprising owner. . * * * Another of this lady's hobbies was evident on her dining-room table, in the form of a beautiful hand-crocheted tablecloth. It was really a marvellous piece of work, One looked at it and wondered how many hours went into its cre- ation. But that wasn't all. I had just about got my breath back after seeing the tablecloth when my eyes fell -- almost literally ,-- "on the dining-room chairs, all of which had seats done in needle- point! Can you imagine the value of the things in that one room -- and dear knows what was scat- tered through the remainder of the house. As I looked at all that lovely work -- and at the bunnies -- I couldn't help thinking how much some folk have to show for their time -- and other folk, how little!
