BLACKBERRY JELLY TEXAS GUNS . . SYNOPSISâ€"Silas Spelle, high- handed, low-principled cattle baron, is out to smash the local bank and force foreclosure on the small ranchers of the Kanab desert country so that he can seize their range lands. He is opposed by Ed. Starbuck, president of the Cattle- men’s, Bank and by San Juan Dele- van, prominent rancher who has been crippled by a fall from his horse. Tex Whipple and his part- ner, Johnny Clehoe, are cowpunch- ers employed by San Juan Delevan to fight the rustlers and protect his interests. CHAPTER XXI "He’s on top o’ the bunkliouse,” yelled Johnny. “I’m gonna be set for him next shot. An’ Jim 1er God's sake, take a new position. They got yuh figgered.” The old cattleman swore but he made no move to push himself to another point. It was Ronny who darted up and drew her father away, in spite of-his protests. At the window corner Johnny sat tense, his lips in a compressed line, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on the top of the bunkhouse. Sud- denly he stiffened and shoved the - muzzle of his rifle through a shat- tered pane. Ilis keen glance had caught sight of a slight movement on that distant ridgepole. The movement continued to grow and grew into the shape of a long, black gun barrel which was being shoved over and trained on the ranch- house. Johnny swung his sights into line, drawing a fine bead just above that threatening barrel. Very cautiously the upper half of a bared bead showed. Johnny held his breath, centered his bead and then pressed the trigger. Got Him Half the body of a man lurched into view, then dropped from sight. The big Sharps rifle teetered on the ridge pole for a moment then tip- ped over and slid halfway down toe roof, where it stuck and held, In plain vie,w of the exultant John- ny. “That’s one cannon spiked. I got him, Jim. An’ the big gun’s in plain sight on the roof where the rest can’t get, it.” Johnny’s triumph was short liv- ed. Just as Spelle’s cohorts,1 driven to madness by the sight of another casualty on their side, opened tip in fury from all angles, Doc Mc- Murdo darted to circle from Dele- van’s side to Johnny. He went down just opposite the 'window, falling at full "length on his face. There was a bullet hole just above his left ear and one in the side of his neck. He was dead on his feet. At her father’s side Ronny sag- ged in a near faint. Delevan swore -helplessly, terribly. Johnny, white and harsh, crouched over and then dragged the body into a dark cor- ner. Then without a word he pad- ded back to the window corner and settled down to his watching. In that position darkness found them. V Suspense There comes a time in every man’s life when minutes are hours and hours Untold eons. When sus- Issue No. 32â€"”38 B EH by L. P. Holmes pense whips the nerve centres taut and harsh and sets muscles hard and unyielding. At these times the veneer o £ civilization melts away and pure savagery rears its head. And if the suspense endures without breaking, the animal mad- ness grows until danger and hand to hand conflict are to be welcom- ed with open arms. Thus felt Johnny Clehoe as mid- night approached. The house was in utter blackness seemingly much deeper than the opaque veil which hovers over the world without. And the Box D ranchhouse had become a house of ghosts now, Human bod- ies had no substance in that stygian and acrid gloom. Only human voic- es existed, low-pitched, anger hoar- sened voices. Only whtjn Ronny crept once to Johnny’s side.with, a cup of coffee which Chang had managed to brew by seme celestial legerdemain, did he realize fully again that he was not alone in a mad, black, stark world. Ronny crouched close beside him with her cheek resting against his shoulder much as would that of a frightened, bewildered and unut- terably worried child. “Pore little kid,” murmured John- ny. He put his freed arm about her shoulders and she relaxed and rest- ed there. Presently she stirred. ‘‘Johnny,’’ she whispered. “I’m afraid. They are going to rush the house soon. I know it. I feel it. And I’m afraid. If only Tex was here.” Johnny gulped. “Ain’t I been wishin’ and prayin’ the same thing,” he muttered hoarsely. “God â€" yes, it’ll Tex was here he would lick Spelle’s whole damn outfit single handed. Good ole Tex â€" he’s like a dad to me.” “I know. He’s wonderful. With his clear old eyes and funny, quir- ky smile. 1(et I feel that he can be terrible if he’s aroused.” Down they coruehed there in the dark. Two children, and just a wee bit afraid of a stark, murder-filled world. Long after, Jim Delevan stirred in his chair, and cleared his throat. “Ronny,” he called softly. “Just where are yuh child?” “She’s here, Jim,” answered Jphnny. “SJhe’s asleep on my shoul- der. Pore little kid, she’s havin’ a touch time of it.” “I’m glad she’s asleep. She likes yuh, son.” Johnny’s arm tightened around the sleeping girl. She stirred and moaned a little, like an infant that is plagued with dreams. The air was stark with the chill of early morning. It semed to John- ny that the murk outside was thin- ning somewhat. Dawn1 was not so very far away. Then the storm broke. From all sides of the house a tor- rent of yells shattered the silence. And with them came the rumble and thunder of shots. There was a clatter of boots upon the porch and somethin crashed at one wide porch window tearing away sash and splintered remnants of glass in a flurry of blows. Then through the opening catapulted a dark, maglig- nant figure, a spitting gun in each hand. Like a flash Johnny lowered Ron- ny to the floor and leaped away, careless of movement and noise, just so he could! draw that ruthless fire from the .girl. He stumbled up against a chair and it skittered and crashed in front of him. Immediate- ly those flaming guns winked and flared towards him.

Level crossings in England are being replaced by subways or bridges; Lack of Love In Childhood Is Dangerous Emotional Deprivation Is Said .. To Result In Production of Liars and Swindlers Lack of love in childhood often results in the production of “mal- ingerers, liars. and swindlers.” This is the theory brought to the attention of Montreal physicians by Dr. C. H. Gundry in the cur- rent issue of the Canadian Medi- cal Association Journal. Many difficulties,” Dr. Gundry maintains, “arise as a result of emotional deprivation. . If parents are too poorly developed to ex- pend love, if they really do not want their children, or if their children are brought up without parents or satisfactory substi- tutes, it is as if the children were deprived of a sort of emotional vitamin. Hard to Fit Them In “They are apt to remain im- mature, to fail to develop stable, robust characters. Never being identified with a family group, it is hard for them to fit into larger social groups; being cheated out of the love they may try to gain attention in unwholesome ways. “Many of the adults who are unreliable and unstable, whose employment records are unsatis- factory, who are continually dis- appointing those who try to help them, and who are often malin- gerers, liars and swindlers, in short the psychopathic personali- ties, have a history of a loveless childhood.” Alluring And Simple To Make PATTERN 4841 This is Glamour with a capital G!

It’s not because the flavour is not liked but because it used to be hard to make blackberries into a jelly. They lack sufficient pectin, the jellying substance, to make it worthwhile to boil and boil the juice on the off chance that the fruit might be just under-ripe enough to set properly. These berries, like a great many others, contain more pectin before they have fully ripen- ed and so cooks had to use them at that stage to get jelly that would set. They had to choose between two evils, under-ripe fruit which would set but had not the flavour or ripe fruit with a delicious flav- our but no jellying substances. Fac- ed with such difficulties, it was easier to let the blackberry season pass - and forget about making the jelly. But modern cooks haven’t any such obstacles in their way. They can add bottled fruit pectin to the juice and get a delicious product with less time, trouble and cost than used to be possible before the bottled fruit pectin was available. BLACKBERRY JELLY 4 cups (2 lbs.) berry juice 8 cups (3% lbs) sugar Household Hints Newspapers laid evenly under fibre of grass rugs make an effec- tive padding and facilitate clean- ing, since they 'may be easily rol- led up and discarded together with dust and dirt which may have -sift- ed through the rug. To make celery curls, wash cel- ery thoroughly in cold water, sep- arate and cut away any dark-col- ored or bruised sections. Cut the stems in short lengths, then with a sharp knife cut several slits in each end toward the centre, leav- ing only a half or three-quarters of an inch whole. Soak in cold wa- ter until the split ends draws into curls. Long wearing wool rugs should have a minimum of sizing on the back, relying on tightness of the weave and quality for body and firmness; the pile should be thick and of flexible live wood; the col- ours deep and clear. A black felt cushion brimmed plateau from Fernande Flory, is manipulated to give the fashion- able back height and is trimmed with two large pink pins. The smoothly fitted line of the dress or coat makes the fur bolero a smart fashion, to be worn with a woollen dress for the little sea- son and with an untrimmed coat for the winter months. The coat with discreet front fulness can take -it. The bolero can also bo worn with evening clothes. Fresh: lime and water made in- to a paste and smeared over pol- ished gates will prevent rust for an indefinite period.

Have you a favorite casserole that has started to leak? Make a thickish mixture of flour and wat- er, and let it cook in the casser- ole all day long. You can just leave the casserole on the fire or in the oven. The flour will work its way into the cracks and fill them up, stopping the leak. Some materials look best when ironed nearly dry. Fabrics with a crepy, crinkled or pebbled weave ar.e of this type.

Hat Etiquette Commenting on the hat conven- tions1 for women, a correspondent recalls that in the “nineties” and in Edwardian days it was the fash- ion to wear hats almost throughout the entire social day, “If one went out in the morning one sat down to lunch on one’s re- turn in one’s hat, while if going out in the afternoon one dressed usual- ly before luncheon and again wore a hat during that meal. Wore It Till Dinnertime “It was not considered necessary to take off one’s hat. on returning home to tea, so that a woman wore a hat till it was time to dress for dinner.” It was the arrival of the shingle and the cloche hat that gave the women afe much ease in the matter of their hats as men enjoy. It will be interesting to see whether the return of the much trimmed head- gear will cause a reversion to the old convention.

Hughes, President General Manager All Our Parents Have A Favorite Sociologists Find the Theory Is True That Every Father, Mo- ther Shows Preference Fair One Particular Child. The fact that mothers have favorite song and fathers favorite daughters â€" something a good many sons and daughters have long suspectedâ€"has been confirm- ed by scientific research. Dr. M. H. Kraut, professor of psychology and sociology in the Chicago City colleges, has com- pleted a survey.of the filial value of children to their parents. “It all depends on the place of the child among other children of the family group,” Dr.. Kraut said. Youngest Child “For example, mothers favor their first born, especially, a first born son. “Fathers react less favorably to the competitive strivings of the elder male child. The youngest child, boy or girl, gets most of father’s affection.” The child who gets the least enthusiasm from either parent is the girl child who follows another girl in the family group. Mothers Favor Sons “The similarity of sexes in pre- vious and succeeding children is a powerful factor in influencing child preference,” Dr. Kraut said. Mother-favoritism is more wider ly distributed than father-favor- itism, Dr. Kraut found, mothers â- generally favoring all their male children excepting the younger of two male children in succession., Submissive Ones A girl child, following two male children, has 72 chances out of 1.00 of being favored by her father and has 52 chances out of a 100 of being- submissive to the oldest brother, Dr. Kraut’s figures re- vealed. The professor’s studies covered 1,093 individuals .in 450 families and were carried on over a period of three years. While pointing out that paren- tal rejection and parental discip- line are not synonymous, Dr. Kraut found that fathers tend to punish sons, while mothers usual- ly discipline daughters. Pastel Floors Are Practical And Just As Inexpensive As Tile More Sombre Finishes If our grandmothers were to see some of the pastel-toned floor surfaces that have been designed for modern homes, they might think that floor and ceiling had changed places, says a writer in an English daily newspaper,. It is now just as possible to have a practical, inexpensive floor with a delicate color1 scheme as walls and furniture in such colors â€"and moreover many of these surfaces only need cleaning once a week or ten days. Pale pearl grey parquet .made from Scandinavian ash or oak, is having a great vogue, because it harmonizes so well with peach and pink color schemes. Lady Cam- bridge has it in her drawing-room, Mrs. Roger Eykyn in her hall. In Royal Palaces The wood, not less than a quar- ter of an inch in thickness, is lime waxed to the exact shade, and laid over ordinary boards. Birch plywood parquet is just the color of good coffee ice cream and is often chosen with green or off-white rooms. All these plywood parquets are French polished to begin with; and afterwards need cleaning once a week with a special wax polish compounded by "the experts who supply flooring to three royal pal- aces in London. They Don’t Talk More Than Men According to. a noted psycholo- gist, men do more talking than women and are naturally the more talkative sex. He say's men like to hear themselves talk because they think what they say is more important than what women say. And, strangely enough, he asserts, women also believe that what men say is more important than their own chatter. This is attributed to the impression many men give women: that women are the in- ferior sex and are not as intelli- gent in conversation as their male companions. Whatever the rea- son, it is generally agreed among psychologists that men do more talking than women.
