~~ rh om a -- SEN SAE 25 ASR, WEST OF THE SUN JOSEPH LEWIS CHADWICK SYNOPSES The story thus far: Virginia Ames erosses the wild, frontier West by rail and sture in response to the plea of her flane, Phil Lawrnce, that she come to him at once at Santa Bonita. Following the hold up of the stage east of Lannasa, in which 8 cameo pin of hers and a money box for Bteve Barron, gambling czar of Santa Bonita, are selzed, she ls escorted by Lt, Jim Randall whom she once knew In Washington and who Is now with the territorial army. Phil, she learns, has had serious trouble with Barron over a gambling debt, She meets him finally and finds him much changed. He has lost everything, is extremely bitter and advises her to return home. Jim Randall, mean- while, learns that Phil robbed the stage In revenge ngninst Barron. He goes to see Lanya Correy, whom Virginia has seen wearing the stolen cameo pin, CHAPTER IX. She broke off abruptly, her eyes frightened. Jim said quickly, "What about Barron?" "Nothing," came her flat, heavy reply .- He was wise enough in the ways of people to know that her lips were now sealed. Whatever she knew about Steve Barron was lock- od within her. He said, "I'm not going to arrest Lawrence--if you do as I say." "If T do as you say?" she said, puzzled. "Yes," he said, and knew he was being cruel. "You're going to give him up. You're going to break with him." "But I love him!" "So does the girl he promised to marry." She had a claim on him." "And if T don't break with him?" "I'll send- him to prison." She sank into a chair and covered her face with her hands, "You don't know what you're asking," she sobbed. "I'm making a sacrifice too," he told her. "I'm an officer--and I'm disobeying my orders which were to arrest the men who held up the Lannasa stage." ' She looked up. "Why?" she de- manded. "Why are you doing that?" "lI guess you know why," he said. "You love--that girl?" "I love that girl," he admitted. He turned away from her, his faco grim. She said to his back, "If Steve Barron learns about Phil he'll--he'll kill him!" A gift for a bride that she will display with pride!

"If you break with ® Phil Lawrence he'll leave the coun- try." "With her," whispered Lanya. Jim faced her, "With the girl he promised to marry, Lanya." She rose. She looked small and sad and wilted. "I'm not going to say yes--yet. Let me think. I've got to think this ou" "Don' take too long," he said. "lI want Phil Lawrence away from the Territory--soon." He took up his campaign hat from the table and moved to the door. "You can save him; Lanya," he said, then he opened the door and went out, * * * From the street he glanced up at the window of Mrs. Warden's house. The window was dark and blank. Virginia was no longer there. He walked on slowly, toward the camp. When Virginia awoke the next morning Jim Randall's command had already left camp. From the kitchen door she saw the troop far off across the desert, trailing a long funnel of yellow dust. She watched the column until it was beyond the desert's rim. Then she went to her room and took up pen and .paper. She wrote swiftly, as if afraid her newly-formed decision would some- how be shaken. "Dearest Phil: I have decided you are right. I should go home. There is nothing here for me but a vast emptiness. And I am afraid of it. I shan't beg you to go with me-- though I want you to, badly. I know something holds you here, but I don't know what it is. "I shall be waiting for you--and loving you. Come to me in six months, as you promised. Yours, Virginia." * * + } It was always possible to find a _ boy who owned a horse and a saddle and who would run an errand for a dollar or two. Virginia stepped from the house to find such a boy to ride out to Phil's ranch with the letter. She saw a lankly, redhead- ed boy in front of the general store She walked toward him. She saw Lanya Correy in he. doorway but, remembering. Jim Randall had visited the dance hall girl during the night, she could not greet her. "Miss Ames. ..." Virginia halted and turned. Lan- ya came from. the doorway, a slim dark girl in a plain gingham dress. Her, face was very pale, her dark €yes smouldering. Virginia said: "Yes, Lanya?" "I'd like to talk to you," the girl _ said. "Will you come to my house?" "Why---yes, of course." (Continued Next Week) ' "Twasn't Much Fun Being A Kid Then It cannot have been much fuo being a child at the end of the eighteenth century. Even Christmas and birthday presents were de- signed, not to amuse, but to edify and instruct. Some 500 out of a collection of 1,500 children's books, dating from an early "Aesop's Fables," in Latin, published in 1566, to those of 'the beginning of the present. century, have recently been -exhibited at Eastbourne, in connection with the conference of the Library Associa- tion. Dated 1783, there is a book called "School Dialogue for Boys--being © an attempt to convey instructions insensibly to their tender minds and instil the love of virtue." While in 1810, there appeared one of the first cut-out books, called. "History of Little Fanny," the story in prose and verse, together with seven col, ored cut-out figures, one moveable head and four hats, Fanny's story is highly moral and we follow her through the many vicissitudes caused by her laziness and vanity ("Can this be Fanny, once so neat and clean? How changed _her dress, how altered is her mien! A dirty beggar girl before you stands, crav- ing a scanty morsel from your hands") until she is finally "restored to. her former station, modestly dressed with book in hand, now no longer idle, proud or vain'" Small wonder the first children's magazines had a short life. The editor of "The Juvenile Magazine,' which appeared in 1788 and lasted only one year, announced in her opening remarks that it was "ad- dressed to my young friends who are fond of instruction." As soon as the publishers turned to blood and thunder, their success was assured, and in 1876 H.R.H. Prince Arthur was subscribing to "The Boys of England," a youny gentleman's journal of sport, travel, fun and instruction," which boasted 16 pages for a penny and was so arranged that it could be folded and carried in a boy's pocket. Within six months, the editor was claiming a circulation of 150,000 copies. \ a 1) O\" BCDICE ANNE ADAMS Boon for a busy mother! Cut and sew this cute dress in one day!

Clocks Made Of Scraps and Bits "Necessity is the -mother of in- vention" is a: saying known to most church clack of Wootton Rivers in. Wiltshire, It was in 1911 that this "village wanted to celebrate King George V's Coronation by the erection of a church clock. Unfortunately there was no money available. Spurred. on by necessity the village postman, Jack . and most unorthodox proposal. If the. parish would provide a few hundredweight of scrap metal, said Postman Spratt, he would build a clock from it. The villagers considered the pro- position, thought that they would be no worse off if Spratt's plan did not work and considerably better off if it 'did, and began to bring in their junk. It was an amazing ments, bits of old mowing machines, chaff cutters and reapers, gas pipes, bedsteads, prams, fire-irons, taps and old saws. ; With the heterogeneous pile of apparently useless rubbish Spratt began his work, assisted by vari- ous trusty helpers. More astonish _ ing than the materials from which - the clock was made was the fact that 'when finished it actually worked. By the time the Corona- tion came around it was ticking away most efficiently in. the chur tower, where it still is. The clock has chimes too, added later but still the work of the ingenious Spratt. It is a unique fece of 'work, for one: of the three aces has letters on it instead of numerals, using the words, "Glory Be To God" to indicate the hours, It is the works, however, that are the 'astounding sight, only shown to visitors with the rector's per- mission.
