Hi 7 t,«». "salada; THA Outstanding Quality • Delicious Flavour WEST OF THE SUN A Serial Story by JOSEPH LEWIS CHADWICK CHAPTER 1 (Continued From Last Week) "May be so," replied McTavish. for towing U8 just a couple of miles. I think it's scandalous." "But I'm making sure they earn every pennyâ€" I've put the brakei on." In the seconds it took him to cross to her, her mind leapt back three yearsâ€" to a dance at Alex- andria. To the week tliat followed, when she had dined and ridden and sailed with this man; to a week that had been ecstasy; to a week when she had been 17 and hopelessly in- fatuated with a man to whom love was like soldiering â€" a series of campaigns. A week only. At its end he had turned to his next campaign. And she had instantly hated him as deeply as she had loved him. The next time they had met, impetuous and hitter with her sense of injury, she had quarreled with him. He had laughed at her, and called her a child. She had sent him away, telling him never to speak to her again. He had obeyed. She had not seen him again â€" until now. * « * He w-as even more dasliingly handsome. Me was bronzed and lean and strong looking. But three years seemed to have aged him. His Hps had turned firmer, his eyes grown strange with an old-young look, as if they had seen too much of life's hardness. He was smiling •t her now, his smile still charm- ing. He meant to talk, of course. And recall the past. But, no â€" "Miss Virginia Aines?" She drew a calmer breath. He wasn't going to recall the past. "Yes," coldly, "I am Miss Ames." "I am Lt. James Randall," he •aid crisply. "I am investigating kist night's stage holdup. I under- stand you were a passenger." "V'es, I was." "Do you mind if I ask some ques- tions? It will take but five min- utes." "N'cry well." This psaceful farm seen* will please the whole family I Embroider it easily in single and outline stitch, Irame or line it.

IMUB M wa He stood before her, one hand holding his campaign hat, the other resting on his saber hilt. The cav- alry's yellow stripes running his breeches from boot-top to belt made his legs appear very long. He looked so much at ease it annoyed her. Virginia's own tension was terrific and increasing. "First, Miss Ames, did you have anything taken?" "Only a cameo pin. It was not of great value." "You were the only passenger robbed?" "I think soâ€" yes." "The bandits were more con- cerned with a money box the stage carried?" Slie said indifferently, "Yes." He nodded. "Could you describe the bandits?" • * • She had difficulty keeping her voice steady; her hatred and con- tempt for him seemed to come up into her throat. "Two of them, perhaps. The one â€" the leader â€" was masked." With few words she described the holdup men. Jim Randall regarded her thought- fully. "The other passengers told me there was a letter involved. You dropped it, and one of the bandits picked it up. The leader made him return it." "There was a letter," Virginia said, breathless now. "It was â€" valueless except to myself." "Oh, something personal . . ." His voice was infuriatingly matter of fact. He was carrying this stranger business too far, making a farce of it. Virginia's lips thinned in anger. She hated his smug conceit She wondered suddenly how many girls he had â€" laughed at. Then he was saying, "I under- stand you are traveling to Santa Bonita. Have you arranged trans- portation?" She gave him a long cold look. "1 have. I have hired a carriage and driver. I am starting today." « * * His eyes were a smoke blue; they were suddenly less mocking. He said, "Do you mind my asking if you have people there. Miss Ames?" She gave him a bright smile. She relished this; he had lost his post- campaign skirmish. He had left his flank unguarded. "I have my fiance there," she said deliberately. "Oh, your fiance." He took it without a change of expression. He had no heart; he'd allow her no tiny victory. Then he was smiling. "Congratulations, Miss Ames. Per- haps I know the â€" fortunate man." She held her head high. "Hi» name is Philip Lawrence." She caught a glimmer of expres- sion in the smoke blue of his eyes. "Philip I^awrence," he sampled the name. "No, I do not know him. His name is, however, familiar."

"How, Anna Hirst," cries a reader, "do you handle a spoiled wife and mother? She is middle-aged, yet acts worse than her young grand- children I "She has no consideration for others. She goes her way with- out telling any- one of her plans. This is especially bad, since she lives several miles from town and has to de- pend on her husband or son to take her back and forth. Many a time they've waited for hours on end for her return. "And it's never her faultl She throws tantrums, and twists facts around to make the other fellow the offender. She never apologizes for losing her temper, and she make^ an exhibition of herself in her children's homes in front of their youngsters. - Even those youngsters are disgust d with her. "Her husband is on a diet. She fixes big, tempting dinners for everybody else which he can't eat, then flounces off and taket half an hour to fix his food. In all their 30-odd years of marriage he has never complained. "She rules the roost If anyone crosses her, she is very hurt and 'picked on'. "Her husband should be retired. Mother Love Several years ago, during a pro- longed drought in Australia, the wild creatures of the bush became so thirsty that they braved even the dangerous dooryards of settlers for a drink of water. So the settlers, whose cattle and sheep died like flies for lack of water, were constantly on the lookout lest these wild crea- tures drink what little water was left. Each man hung a loaded gun near the doorway to be used at a moment's notice. Such a call came one hot sum- mer's day. Instantly the settler seized his gun and stood ready. Out of the bush a mother kanga- roo, with a young one in her pouch, came loping across the brown, pow- dery open space surrounding the house. Nearer and nearer she came, her beautiful brown eyes fixed be- seechingly on the settler. She made her way straight to the tub of water placed there for the use of the few domestic animals that had survived. Still the settler did not shoot. Tlie water reached, she waited, her soft gaze still fixed on the man, while the young kangaroo in her pounch drank its fill. Then she turn- ed, without taking a drop for her- self, and loped back across the parched open space and on into the tangled depths of the bush. The settler watched her until she dis- appeared. Then he hung up his gun and, with a choking in his throat, went back to work. MAKE SHELLCRAFT.JEWFLRY LIKE THE EXPERTS DO Hon'i trtrytUaf br i^cnit maw i tots oDi GOOTialiit Ut.
