A cameo pln Is taken from Virginia but that Is all; the bandits let her keep her letter. Lt. Jim Randall, whom Virginia once knew and loved, es- coris the stage from Lannasa, Baron, whe Joins the group at Lannasa, accompanies them on the 70-mlle trip to Santa Bonita, | Hallway there they are stopped by Apaches, apparently bent on mischief, CHAPTER III Jim Randall surveyed his position with challenging eves." It wasn't pleasant. His force was bottled up in a small clearing. The terrain was rough. Trees and brush and rocks formed dense walls which could: have concealed a thousand Apaches. He didn't like it. His mind was uncasy. He had thie officer's fear of leading his command into a trap. Tim watched 'the Apache warrior . pause at the water's edge and sig- nal with his lance. He gave a start v lien he saw the second Indian ride fiom cover. There was something about this warrior that marked him. He sat on his droopy pinto -pony wit. a definite dignity, a fine figure of a man. His wace'was dark and impassive and intelligent. : + * * Scarlett at his side muttered in awe, "Natchi!" : Jim felt a. quiver of excitement run over his muscles. Natchi! Natchi himself!

Head ofa raider band. which had cluded the army: with the ease of a phantom cavalcade, The two warriors rode Out into midstt 'am and halted before the whites en, Natchi was in his prime; his body lithe and muscular. He was naked to breech-clout and moc- coeins and cartridge bandolier across his chest. A head-band held back his ict-hlack hair, His face looked cast in bronze, an impassive mask. It was onc of character, the char- acter of treachery and savagery. [Merry Menagerie~By Walt Disney Mel = Scarlett talked guttural Apache, using sign language, too. Natchi answered, his voice throaty and gripping. The scout interpreted. "He says you, the man with the blue eyes, arrested his son Bunato. You hid him away in the white man's fort." "Tell him," Jim said, "Bunato stole white man's horses and must be punished." It was while Scarlett interpreted that the third warrior appeared and silently joined them. The Apache chief talked long, and before he had finished the fourth Indian rode from cover and entered the stream, When Natchi's voice stopped, Scar- lett said: ET * * * ; "He wants to know how his son will be punished, Lieutenant." Then, his voice uneasy: "I don't fike this, sir. They're up to some- thing. Four against us now, and here comes another. Looks like a trap. Did you notice those rifles?" Jim Randall nodded. "All sharps. And brand-new. Plenty of car- tridges too. It's trouble all right," The fifth warrior had appeared and was easing toward them. The two white men betrayed no sign that they noticed the ruse. But the situation was danger-filled. Jim said: . "Ask him if he sces that soldier kneeling behind that fallen tree." The answer came quickly. Scar- lett interpreted, "He savs he does, Lieutenant." "Good. Tell him that soldier is a sharpshooter. Tell him he has his rifle trained on the space between the eyes of Natchi. Tell him if one more warrior comes to the stream, the soldier will shoot." Natchi's face remained expres- _sionless as he heard the interpre- tation. He studied the officer's face with smoldering eyes. Then he made a sign. His warriors turned their horses and rode from the wa- ter, then on into the screening brush, Natchi remained alone. - Scarlett said, "He says the man with the blue eyes isa fox." * * * "Tell him Natchi is a wolf. Tell him his son must go to prison until the second winter ends. Tell him it oil will soon evaporate and the weeds will be hilled . QQ. How can I cleat a rubberized silk raincoat? .

Fro the time the first of your "oarden truck" is ready to use right up until you've picked the very last «string bean you have the makings of wonderful plank and platter dishes. * * * Such a dish is practically a whole meal--meat, vegetables and mash- ed potatoes--all cooked together on an oak plank or oven platter. Oven time is short and hot--375F or 4001" usually; so it's best to choose meats that cook quickly, such as' steaks, lamb chops, ham, weiners or fish. * * * The planks are 10 by 14 inch ovals, an inch thick, and you can buy -them in department or hard: ware stores. But if you have a nice block of oak around your place, your husband or son can smooth it with steel wool :and make your plank for you. Ask him to make 'a scooped-out place at one end with three grooves leading to "it to drain meat drippings. MA * Before using a plank for the first time be sure and brush it with oil or melted, unsalted shorten- ing, and warm 'in a slow oven--the same as you'd pre-heat a new fry- ing pan or waflie iron. After that, the only care it needs is washing and drying. * * . - Here's one combination that I think you'll like. Arrange lamb .chops on the plank, and oil the wood around them. (Plank should afivays be completely covered with food, or well oiled, to prevent charr- ing.) Put in a 375F oven for 10 : minutes, to brown the chops on one side. TABLE TALKS 4 cane Andrews. Meanwlule, cook asparagus in a small amount of boiling water, and pressure-cook potatoes for mashing. (If vou haven't a pressure cooker, you'll want to start the potatoes boiling well ahead of putting the meat in the oven, of course). * * + Now turn the chops; border them with asparagus and mashed pota- toes. Return the plank to the oven for 15 midutes. Now put the whole thing on the table and serve, with any sort of sauce or relish you fancy. There are those who claim that it's all imagination to say that "planking" lends a flavor all its own--but I don't think, after you've tried it, that you'll agree with that. . * * Here's a cake that can be eaten just "as is," or cut in squares and served with whipped cream. The recipe came to me from a woman out west who's famous for the table she sets.

Next add dissolved cocoa, which has been cooled, and lastly the soda, which has been dissolved in vanilla. Bake in a moderate oven for about an hour.
