Sherwin (Hazlett) calmly states: "I've come to kill You, but not just now; you're sick." CHAPTER VII He held the picture In his hands, looking at it steadily. It had been taken perhaps four years before. The face was almost childish, but the clear straight look was there; a woman like that might keep a man from--from crime! And Stenhart dared to be in love with her! Well, he should not get her. Sherwin smiled grimly at the thought, then his face changed; her honest eyes scemed to challenge him to "make good!" He heard a sound somewhere, some one moving on the veranda, and slipped the photograph into his pocket. He had no right to it, but he could not leave it there in the litter of the old desk. He had opened the dog-cared ac- count books again. "I'll try to make geod on these, anyway," he thought, and smiled for the first tine as he began to run down Jim's slovenly figures. But he had hardly reached the foot of the column before he heard a quick step behind him and Jim himself came in, dusty and fapped. * * * N "Hello, Hazlett, Quit that stuff, I've pot something else on hand." As he spoke he flung himself into a chiar and mopped his forehead. "Got most of the strays back, but I've lost about eighty yearlings, besides those you made into beef," he added with a grin, "Sorry," Sherwin began, "buot--" "No regrets!" Jim laughed, "You can ride, | know that. The men are all busy and I want you to ride over to Hemmings' place, it's about miles, and get the sheriff. Hes over there now. Take him along with you and show him the place where Jordan ran.past you-- you know, on the highroad. We think he's got some of his rustlers there. Anyway, he's cleared out of thus neighborhood, and 1 want Cutler-- that's the sheriff--to know it. You know the locality where Jordan dodged. Mac'll" give you a fust horse. Better go right away." Sherwin was staring fixedly at tlie books an front of him. He said nothing, and, after a moment, Jim looked around at him, "Well" he said interrogatively. "1 don't know the roads; I'll lose tine finding the place-- Hemmings', 1 mean. Hadn't you better send soticone who knows the way?" » * * * "I've pot no one who knows where vou saw Jordan, Besides, the road to Hemmings' place is straight -- vor can't miss it, All the men are bu<y, and I'm used up. You can mice 10 hefore Cutler takes a false trial. Here, I'll draw you a map--" Jim reached for a pencil. As he did so he caught a rlimpse of the other man's face and whistled, then he Linghed, "See here, Hazlett, what's wiong voure not afraid to meet the <herifl, are you?" he asked lightly. Skerwin's face whitened. He rose. "I'l po at once, sir," he said grave- Iy: "where's the house?" Jun struck his hand on the desk, "Here, | say, dont take it like that, 1 was joking!" Sherwin met his eyes squarely. "It's the kind of joke 1 don't like," Lh replied coldly. Something ie the man's eyes made Jim lean back in his chair and observe him closely. But he turned the matter oft as well as he could. "Sorry, | owe you an apology. But you'll go?" Sherwm's reply was a mute ges- ture of assent as he turned toward the door. Jim, feeling that he owed his dife to this stranger, called after him. "I didn't mean that, remember! Mac'll give you a fast horse. Come bac. with the sheriff; I want to show him the damage here." » * * Sherwin nodded, went out and crossed the veranda to the lawn. Under the trees he saw a pretty tableau, Fanny Sewell was reading alouc to the convalescent, and go- ing awav. fom them across the flower-dotted slope that led to the creek, was Jane. Sherwin saw the. sunlight on her uncovered head. She did not see him, nor did Sten- hart. He, too, was watching Jane. Sherwin's hand clenched at his side but he walked rapidly across the open space and went to the stables Old Mac was there with his arm in a sling, but he had already had his orders from Jim, and one of the stablemen had a fast horse saddled. "Jim says you're to go after the sheriff. He thinks Jordan's made oft--"" the old man shrugged. "I sce you don't agree with that," said Sherwin, as he sprang into the saddle. "A fox mostly doutles," Mac re- plied. "Look out for yourself, lad; Jordan may remember the rough an' tumble you had together." Sherwin leaned down from the saddle, holding out his hand. "In case he does, goodbye, and thank you!" he said. "What d'you mean--7?" old Mac- Dowell stared in astonishment, but the- young man was off at a gallop. He heard his horses hoofs on the bridge before he got his breath. Well, | swum! Spoke like he wasn't comin' back!" Which was, in fact, what Sherwin thought. Not because of Jordan! As he rode his mind worked quickly. Across the bridge he drew rein an instant, felt in his pocket and drew out a newspaper two days old. He read a paragraph and shook his head. It was too great a risk to ride to Hemmings' place--he must give up his vantage-ground, his chance to be near Stenhart. The way that Jim had sent him lay to the west. He did not take it, but turned east. The road here was skirted by the creek and, half a mile farther, it ascended and command- ed a view of Las Palomas. Sherwin followed it. Here, at the very be- ginning, fate had forced his hand more necatly than even could have done it. If he turned back and went to meet the sheriff--? There was one chance in a million that he could carry it off, but if he did not, .then he lost all chance at Stenhart. But if he went on to the cast--then he must lose his point of vantage and hé would never see Jane Keller again! What madness to think of the girl! Sherwin knew it, but he was young and her clear eyes held him. He heard still her voice when she told him to "make good!" And he was going--like a craven! Suddenly he turned his horse's head. He would go back; he'd go west and face--the devil, if need bel Something stirred in the brush below the road, and he saw the branch of a low-hanging tree sway suddenly. Rising in his stirrups, he looked through a gap in the foliage. Below him ran the creek. On the farther bank wild flowers bloomed bravely, the sunlight making a carnival of color, He caught a glimmer of white, looked again and saw a figure there. Jane! She must have come this far looking for flowers; he could see her bending down to pull the blossoms. He dropped from the saddle, led his horse into the shelter of some cucalyptus and left him. If there was any one on the side of the creek he must know it. iw * * Low bushes grew thick along the bank and a flowering vine, sprawl- ing over them, knotted them to- gether, Sherwin could not see far into the dense green shadows, but he found an opening and slipped on among the spreading branches, dropped to the mossy ground and looked. between close-set roots and stems 'toward the smooth glimmer that was the creek. It was still, There was no sound but Jane's voice; she was singing softly to herself. At first it seemed as if the swinging bough must have been a figment of imagination, but Sher- win. knew better. There was no wind--who swung that bough? He waited, holding his breath, for sud- denly it came to him that danger threatened Jane. Disarmed by Jim's fixed idea that Jordan had gone they had grown careless; no one was within call, The shadow in the brush was dark, but the sunlight on the water beyond cut clear outlines.

SMYTH Spread Qut Sowings Perhaps the two commonest mis- takes of the average gardener, es- pecially the one of limited ex- perience, is planting far too much too soon and not anting enough in June and carly July. During tle first warm weeks of spring practic- ally every human being has the urge to get out and dig. He rushes to the nearest seed store, gets sup- plies and is liable to rut in a whole lot of things which should never be planted until the soil and air warm up permanently . When this course has been fol- lowed there are usually heavy los- ses, losses mainly of wasteful labor. Some things like peas, grass seed and a few of the other hardier flow- ers and vegetables don't mind quite a lot of cold and wet, but with the great majorit; of plants this is not the case. Many vegetables especially must be grown quickly if they are to be tender and crisp, and there is nothing to be gained by rushing the season, Too Early Planting This too-early planting, also, has another disadvantage. Usually all seed or space is used up too soon and even if weather is favorable the result is too many vegetables ready for the table in July, not nearly enough coming along in August and September. The experienced garden- er never makes that mistake, He will always divide his seed into at least three parts, risking the first a little ahead of the regular plant- ing time, putting in the second about the normal time and saving the last until at least two to three weeks after that. With a bit of luck this will give hin' a contin ous sup- ply of the very freshest vegetables "right through thesseason. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.

Clarke of GINGER FARM . . . . .| Thi. is one grand spring Jay- go grand that it makes one forget all the disagreeable cold, windy days that came 'before. And isn't that a good iltustration of the attitude most of us take towards life in general -- the weather, people, worries and family problems. There may for instance, be same: person who tckes a pleasure in saying hard bitter things, or who seems to delight in_ getting a rise out of one, but ler that same person 'do one kind hing and, like a flash, we forget the meanu.esses the petti.-ess --or, if we remember, we think we misjudged that per- son, and $0 we form new opinions and quite possibly come to like that person because .f chat one kind act. * * * And then there's worry! We all have worries--some more, some sometime, those worries seem like a huge mou tain that we can't possibly climb; or like a heavy sea with high waves that we are sure will swamp us, We get frightened and think that we just can't face thitgs. And then some- thing hay =ns--an¢ we notice there is a wa_ to climb the moun- tain--a winding trail reveals itself, Or in the case of the sea, the storm subsides and the waves are no more thar ripples on the sur- face, And right away we forget how worsied we have been--we take new hope; we l.ok' eagerly towards the future aad wonder why we ever worried at all. # * * Much the same applies to fam- ily problems, Parents worry over adolescents--boys aud girls are not turning out at all the wav they ex- pected them. to. We remember the sacrifices we made, the hopes we bad for their future; and for a- while it looks as if all were in vain, But, slowly and painfully, young- sters emer .e from the adolescent stage; to our unspeakable. relies they begin to show signs of stab- ility, of thoughtfulness, »f courage and initiative--and. we thank God in our heart: for- he indications that show they are, or will be, as we hoped they would be. Pretty soon we accept the new status, for- getting there was a time when we had, or thought we had, any reason at all to worry. * * * It is well the human race has this tendency to forget--h~w else could there be any hope, any happiness, for those whe suffer greatly--par- ticularly in time of war, Ot course, we know there is much that is never really forgotten, it 1s just that we have that power with- in ourselves to keep what we don't want to remember in the back pockets of our. subconscious minds, and thus, we can if we will, build a new life in our hope for the future. * * ¥ The: hungry in Eat se will not waste energy bemoaning the days and weeks they were hungry 'once. . they are assured «f more to eat. No, we can quite imagine they will thankfully make use of such food as we can cend them, re joicing in the increase of rations and looking hopefully towards a more abundant future, Weil, I didn't know one grand spring day was going to lead me on to_that extent--but there it is, I thought I was going to write of the w~ork I had heer doing in th garden--of the stri's and small trees 1 hed been inning and pruning; ol digging up the flower beds--and of the way my hands are scratched and roughened as a result--I ~ever can be bothered with gloves.

The cultivation of love is at last, impressed upon the mind of John; "the disciple whom Jesus loved."

For two good reasons here givin: (1) Love is of God. Hence everyone w' tru- ly loves is a child of God; and as a child he knows God in an atmos- phere of love. (2) God is love.
