The adobe had but onc all-purpose room. It was low ceilinged and very long. Three bunks stood against the wall at one end. There was a fireplace at the other. A table and chairs stood close to the fireplace, and on the table a meal was spread... A meal for one person. Jim's boots made hollow sounds as he moved to the table. He began to examine the food on the thick china plate. He lif.ed the coffee pot, looked and sniffed at its contents. His face was bewildered.

He was gone perhaps ten minutes, quickly: "Wait here.' and when she saw his uniformed figure in the doorway again she knew he had found nothing. "Everything is in order," he said. "But his horse and saddle are gone [t looks as if he merely rode off." "But would a rancher leave his place for so long a time?" Virginia asked. "Wouldn't he have to look after his stock?" lim nodded. "T' m_ as puzzled as you, Virginia." "What can I do?" He was thoughtful for a moment. Then: "We'll see Steve Barron and have a talk with him." They headed northwest toward the distant mountain range whose jagged peaks reared against the pale blue sky like sharp wolf fangs, The blazing sun hung directly over- head when they rode into Santa Bonita, It was a tiny cluster of adobe and frame buildings, seeming asleep in the sun. Jim led the way to the cafe and they dismounted there. "You can wait inside," he told Virginia. "I'll go find Barron." He entered the little cafe with her and left her. after ordering her a meal. He stepped from the cafe and strode to the saloon. He shoul- dered through the swinging doors and halted just inside to let his eyes become adjusted to the gloom. The room was big. A long bar ran the length of it. At one end were the gaming tables, Only three customers were in the place. Jim ~ crossed to the bar and told the bar- tender he wanted to see Steve Bar- ron, He was directed fo a door at the far end of the room. He knocked sharply opened and stepped "into a' small room. Steve Barron sat at 'a desk writing. He looked up slowly and showed no surprise. "Well, Randall?" he said flatly. "I have Virginia over in the cafe," Jim said. "We came from Phil Lawrence's ranch, The place is de- serted. I thought you'd know, if anyone did, what happened out there." "lI don't know. I haven't seen Lawrence for weeks." . Jim took off his campaign hat and tossed it onto the desk. He found a chair and sat down, rolling a cigar- © ette. His eyes were saber sharp. "You are the only man who had anything against Lawrence." "I never had a showdown. with him, Lieutenant." . "You didn't send gunslicks after him?" Steve Barron hesitated, A frown lay over his darkly handsome face. He said, finally: "When Law- rence stopped gambling here he had "lost 500 blue chips. Each chip count- ed as one head of cattle. He re- fused to turn the 500 head over to me. I sent my boys after them-- and got them. 2 - "You'd know if they had?" (Continued Next Week) when he had completed the job, and said to the young engineer of the company, "if you can use this stuff, I'll leave it for you." The young man, whose name was Henry Ford, said that he could. Many years later Mr... Ford got to thinking about that piece of pipe, which had .gone into the cylinders of the first Ford car What was the name of the man it? Hadn't he worked later for a Buffalo company? Investigation re- vealed the fact that the man had passed away, but a daughter was re- ported to be living in a small Penn! sylvania town. With the aid of the local police chief, Mr, Ford finally located her. Her name was Mrs. Collins. Invited to Dearborn as an honor- ed guest of the great motor mag- nate and his wife, Mrs. Collins was conducted through the great Ford plant and museum, and later ap- peared as the guest of honor gt an old-fashioned square dance. The next day she returned home in a brand-new motor car, a gracious gift of the motor magnate. After thirty years, Henry Ford had paid a debt of gratitude.

The second, - aged 85, agreed on a speedy \end, but thought he'd prefer a jet-propelled plane. "I've got a better idea," mused the third, aged 95. "I'd rather be shot by a jealous husband."

[ANNE HIRST | Your Family Counselor "Dear Anne Hirst: ['ve been married five years and my husband is over#eas. [| work, and my moth- er takes care of my little girl dur- ing the day. Now, because I- like to stay out late at night, she threatens to stop looking after her! "I like afew evenings to myself, so [just don't come home. Some- times I'm in by midnight, some- times by four in the morning. My niother says this is not fair to her and Dad, that I'm a married wom- an and a mother, and if I don't stop going to taverns (I do 'drink and smoke) she will tell my hus- Land. I loved my husband dearly when he was here, but now I don't seem to care for him at all, "My mother is not in very good health, and she claims I should stay home every night and make a home for my baby, and for my hus- band when he returns. "Mind of 'My Own" "Now, Anne Hirst, [I have a mind of my own. I'm old enough to take care of myself. Don't you think she should mind her own business? I'm home three or four nights a week and every Sunday, yet she and Dad still are not satis- fied! T am only being modern. My life is being ruined by my parents! "Please print this. Maybe my own life, and get in when | please." Unsigned, It is shocking, even in these "modern" days, that a married woman feels she can fling off all' family responsibilities * and live her own life. Once a girl mar- rigs, she is supposed to live for her husband and her children. Your husband gave you his good name, You are trailing that name in the dust, publicly, when you frequent taverns with other men, He trusted you with his child. What sort of mother do you appear to be, when you leave that child night after night? The hours apart from your work be- long to her to nurture her and train her in the way she should go. Whether you care for your hus- band or not, you have no right to shame him as you are doing. Told About The : Great Einstein Einstein's home in Princeton, N. J, is a modest two-storey house. Yet he once ordered an elevator installed. A friend heard about the purchase and 'inquired, "In heav- en's name, Albert, what do you want with an elevator?" "1 don't know," replied Einstein, "but the man selling them was 80 nice | couldn't say no." * A small al who lived near Ein-.' stein became quite friendly with the great mathematician, paying "his visits nearly every afternoon, The little girl's mother; completely mystified, finally asked the profes- sor what they talked about. "Oh," replied Einsteln, "she brings. me cookies and I do her svithmetie homework. * * * When Einstein once was invited to visit the Royal family of Belgium a welcoming party wis sent to the railway station to greet him, A chauffeur and limousine were on hand, and servants to help with his luggage. But they never saw Ein- stein, He quietly stepped off the traln and set out to the palace on foot, carcying his suitcase, Albert Einstein was bewildered by all the fuss the incident eaused. His explanation was simple: "I like to walk," he sald. f then they'll understand' I' am able to run . * He is being publicly betrayed, * and by a wife who obviously is * {00 blind to see herself as others * are seeing her. * You are lucky, indeed, that * your mother, though in poor * health herself, looks after your * little girl while you are working. * To expect her to do more than * that is utterly selfish. She and * your father need their rest, and * to have to sit with a youngster * until. the early hours of the morn- * ing is irrational and inconsider- * ate. * © Your mother is threatening to * stop caring for your child, and to * tell your husband why. She is * at her wits' end, knowing what * you are doing to yourself and to * him. You admit she and your * father have been good to you * (you ere living free, in a home * which they own) and you have * driven them to this decision, It * is their last hope that you may * change your ways and become * the faithful wife and good mother * they want you to be. * I know that this opinion will * not be welcome.

Now is the time to make cherry jam and cherry pie, if you really know how, Cherry jam happens to be one of the best of all confections, but because it requires a cook who is also a connoisseur not a great many people undertake it. No such good fortune prevails with cherry pie. The notion seems to be abroad that anyone with a pie pan and a bowl of cherries can make a cherry pie; and nothing could be further from the truth. It takes an artist to' make a cherry pie worth the name. A person able, willing and patient enough to pit the cherries, and. discriminating enough to choose thie right cherries, dead-ripe for the most part but' with just the right number still tanged with acid." Pitted and oozing their own undiluted juice, they should' have just the right amount of sugar, not too much or too little. Then a dash, the most careful dash, of nutmeg, Then a bit of flohr.

If you want to know if your vegetables are properly cooked, look at the color! Those that are nearly. the same color when you serve them as they were before cooking have kept the most food - value. But vegetables that have been boiled and boiled in too much water, with the lid off, not only look washed out, but are! The water has washed away minerals, vitamins, and color. Leaf vegetables, such as spinach, mustard greens, kale chard, new beet and turnip tops, should be cooked ONLY IN THE WATER WHICH CLINGS TO THEM AFTER WASHING. Other green and yellow vegetables should be cooked--well covered--in about halt an inch of water, which should be salted and boiling briskly when the vegetables are put in. Cook on high heat until vegetables begin to steam, then finish cooking on low, Strong-flavored vegetables, usu- ally white or yellow in color, need more cooking water--about an inch in the pan (covered) for parsnips and turnips, * * * Perhaps 'you've heard that ene sort of pan is better than another for cooking to save minerals and vitamins. The really important thing, however, is that if you're going to cook vegetables properly, that is quickly and in a minimum of water, your pan must conduct heat rapidly, and have a tight fitting lid. And, according to the American Medical Association, you can for- get any rumors that food cooked in a certain kind of pan is dangerous. That organization says: that YOU DO NOT endanger your family's health by cooking in aluminum pans, or in those made of stainless steel with copper bottoms. * #5 k Now, as a handy guide, I'm going to give you the proper time sched- ule for cooking fresh vegetables.

For here's a"recipe, worked out by a Penn State College specialist, for just about the easiest home- made ice cream that ever was-- made in just 15 minutes. Here's how you go about it. First, put your ice cream can in the freezer tub, then pack the tub 25 full of crushed ice--four parts of ice to one part salt. (An old coffee can is handy for measuring.) Now, pour into the can, 1% quarts light cream 1 quart milk \ and stir jn tH 14 cups sugar Y4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla Beat and add 4 eggs. Now adjust the lid and crank. Pour cold water over the ice until - it trickles: out the overflow hole, then finish packing ice and salt into the tub. Turn the crank SLOWLY 6 to 8 minutes; RAPIDLY for the re- maining $ to 7 minutes, adding ice -and. salt as needed. < Now drain off brine; remove the lid. Then--well, use your own judg- ment, Ice cream is done when it clings to a spoon held upside down. This method takes about 25 pounds ice, 8 pounds salt. na Jil Bate -oF ot bo reltef from ef from fishing caused ERE fatenselicline. Bor auilr Ask your dr Ask iad today for D:D.
