He cmiled and took off his som- brero. Son on a Te fo pit oF yy BEY "Change to riding clothes, Vir ginia," he said. "I'd like you to ride out to my ranch with me." He talked with Sarah Warden while she changed, then they left the house and mounted. As they rode away Virginia saw Lanya Correy standing in the doorway of her house She smiled, but the dark-haired girl looked away. There was annoyance on Lanya's face, and Virginia decided it was because she was riding with Steve Barron. They rode southwest away from the town, away from the jagged skyline of the Silver Ridge, and headed. across the flatlands which were half desert, half cattle lands. After an hour, Steve reined in. "Wait," he said. He dismounted and walked, leading his horse, to a spire of red rock. Watching him, her hand shielding her eyes from the sun's glare, she saw with surprise that an Indian was squatting, at the base of the rock. A horse stood behind the rock. Steve began to talk to the Indian, his voice reaching Virginia. He was talking the Indian's tongue, and adding to it the sign language. Shortly, the Indian rose and went to his horse and threw himself upon its bare back and rode rapidly away. When Steve returned Virginia ~ said, "You talked his language?" He smiled faintly. "There was Apaches on my father's ranch-in Mexico," he told her. * « * By midday they were at his ranch. They had a meal in the big adobe hacienda, a meal served by a stout middle-aged Mexican woman. Afterward Virginia sat on the ve- randa while Steve talked with his Mexican and Indian vaqueros. There was no white man about the place. In an hour they were in the sad- dle again, still riding southwest.. Steve waved his arm in a wide gesture that took in the vast sweep- ing rangeland. "Some day my ranch shall extend for many miles," he said. "Some day I shall own 50,000 head of cattle, T shall own a cattle empire. This country will not al- ways be wild. It will change, and I--I shall own much of it. "A woman--a beautiful senorita --shouldn't refuse to be the wife of such a rich man, do you think so, Virginia?" he asked. Laughton Made Them Like The Bible "Oh, I was employed, all right. At least, I was under contract. But I wasn't working. One day Elsa said to me, "You are an out-of work man and it's ruining your dis- position and you are becoming a perfect bear to live with, Why don't you get out and go to work?" Charles Laughton grinned one- sidely, like Captain Bligh. He was speaking of his wife, actress Elsa Lanchester. "As usual, the little red-headed minx was right." An actor has to act, 'just as a writer has to write and a sign painter has to paint signs. : The question was, where? It was wartime, and theater activity was low. My motion picture employers had no picture for me at the mo- ment. But one day I hit upon an idea: I'd go and read to the veter ans Tn the hopsitals." Taking a copy of the Bible under one arm and a volume of Shake- speare under the other, he hulked out the door. He went straight to the nearest army hospital, intro duced himself, and was let in with some apprehension by the aston- ished nurses. Once in a ward, he announced o the boys in bristling Laughtonian tones that they were going to listen to the Bible, like it or not. "Aw, listen," pleaded one vet. "We don't want any of that Biblc stuff. If you're going to sit there and read, let's have something good." Mr. Laughton transfixed the lad with one of his famous contemptu ous stares. "Shut up, you," he rasped/ "You're going to listen to this, understand?" He opened the Bible and began to read the story of David and Goliath. As he read, the bored rustling ceased. His great skill in bringing out the drama of this one of the most dramatic episodes in the written language, brought them "a sudden awakening to the Bible. Lads who had never known its stories before sw all at once that they'd beén missing something. When he finished David and Go- liath, he shut the book and stood up to-go. There was a clamor "Hey--don't leave. Give us some more, Mr. Laughton!" So he sat down again. He read from Psalms, from Proverbs, from Samuel, from Kings. There wasn't another protest. And when he had done with the Bible, he started in on Shakespeare. They loved that, too. After all, one of the foremost actors, reading the world's best dramal } So Mr. Laughton was working again--and happy.

"Don't you think 1 should be al- lowed to go out three times a week and stay as long as other girls do?" DISGUSTED. A girl who regularly deceives her mother, and consistently lies, cannot be trusted by her mother or anyone else, She must be dis- ciplined dike a child half her age, until she comes to realize that the only way to have fun in this world is to be honest, and straightforward, and dependable --in all things.

Don't you realize how much easier it would be for your mother, who is an ill woman, to let you come and go as you please, get into what mischief you will? Insteall, she has to watch you constantly. She must be half- frantic with worry all the time, Yet you and this boy have the effrontery to misjudge her motives!

Later on, when you are older, you will see the reason for all this control--and how you will wish then that you had Tad the sense to turn to the right! The longer you keep up this defiance, and this lying, the hard. er it will be for you to stop. Yau will grow to be a girl that nice girls are not allowed to know, and your name will become a by- word among the boys on the street corners. Your whole social life will collapse--and then it will be too late." I hope you will take this serious- ly today, and decide, once and for all, to behave yourself. Don't sneak out to meet any boy. Never tell another lie. Determine to make your mother proud of ou, so she can trust you again. When she does, you will be given the same privileges other girls have.- You have violated her faith, and until you regain it you must en- dure the restrictions she imposes.

Versatility made possible by a series of attach- ments which can be fitted in less than one minute. Included are: reciproating cutter bar, hedge clip- per, rotary brush, grass box and cylindrical mower, Latter is fitted with a friction clutch which pre- vents blades from breaking on stony ground. The system of rota- vation is that of power-driven re- volving hoe blades shaping and cut- ing and" dividing the soil.
