Melissa re- alizes for the first time that Bo'i means more than a mere business partner to her. CHAPTER VII Zachary "Hades" Jones was working over near the stream beii, now dry and usually so, which lay at the foot of the great cliff. He was cutting sapling poles â€" long slender ones â€" with which to make ladders. He stopped swinging his axe to rest when Mary Melissa came through the bushes toward him. "You aren't expected to do this hard labor, Unole Hades," she be- gan. "Wasn't Mr, Holliman hired for this?" "Ain't never shirked no work yet, Miss M'lissy. Think I'm git- tin' old, do ye?" "No! Oh no! Sometimes I think you are younger than I. But â€" " The old man was eyeing her closely, kindly. "Somethin's on yore mind. You been cryin'." She sat down on a rock, and he waited patiently for her to talk. "Uncle Hades, what do you think ofâ€" of the cook? The girl?" "Why she's a godd â€" 'scuse, ma'amâ€" she's a danged redskin squaw ain't she?" Uncle Hades' manner suggested that such a classification was sufficient to damn her irrevocably, forever and ever. 'Lissa- nodded. "I mean â€" is she â€" is she aii right? Oh I'll tell you, confiden- tially Uncle Hades. She is throw- ing herself at I>r. Barry! I think she imagines he's in love with her." Throwing Herself At Hira Hades chewed on his tobacco for a few seconds. "I seen that already," he stated calmly. "I been figgerin' what to do about it." "You have seen it?" Mary Me- lissa was surprised. "Y'ou did?" < "Yes'm. Everybody has, I reclc- on, except Bob hisself. Blind young squirt. Xot that he ain't right to me, ma'am, but â€" looky here. Miss. M'lissy, ain't choo soit* of took to hira yoreself?" His jaw stopped working as he peered at her intently. Her blush was answer enough. The old man cackled in friendly laughter. "Honey," he patted her should- er-paternally. "1 ain't figgered it out yet, but don't you wox-ry none. I'd see him roast on coals before I'd let any Indian make a' fool of him." â-  H' iJi o Uncle Hades meant juost wh.u he said. In the rare times when the old man grew reminiscent and talked of yesteryear, rip-snortin;; tales of death and danger came from him. Ten ysars hence he and all his kind will be •deadâ€" thai grand army of self-reliant men and women who pioneered west- ern America, who fought naiuro and Indians alike, and triumplied by sheer force of character and brawn. The lt»30's saw these great ones, in their sunset years, and if a real Indian fighter lingers until 1949 it will be a miracle. Hades Jones was one of the hardiest. Chiselling A Footing The old man picked up his a.\. resumed swinging. He had the skill of long experience. And he had many a labor-saving trick stored away. Holliman was for lashing the cross bars or steps to the ladders with small rope, afte'- setting them into notches. Hades made a stronger ladder in half that time by healing an iron rod and burning holes thi-ough the u|)- righls, blten inserting hij5 shori steps therein. Mary Melissa was able to help him with the heating, and she trimnn-d the step ends with a hatchet. "Jn two day* we'll have iaddcvs all the way up," Bob predicted. â- â- â€¢Who will plate them?" 'lissa aiiked. "Holiimari and 1. There are en- ough safe footings, raostl.v. We'.'l chist.'. a few. I'm anxious to start excavation up there, Mi.«i» Lane. You must be next one up. It's- - it's marvelous!'' He tingled with enlhifsiasni, Mury Melissa Haw. Honey Bee Girl kept to herself S'ow 8urn;ng CIGARETTE PAPERS oooBif^aa^Ay^ r.ir the two bu.-y days. That is, rile said little, but she observed niuch. She had been rebuffed by i5ol , who hadn't perceived her pUM'ose, but sl'.e was by no means ad.iutting defeat. She knew some p. deface tricks as well as Indian wiles, and she meant to use them. The very decorous manner in which Mary Melissa now sought t â- â-  gain Bob's personal approval did not escape Honey Bee's no- lice. Why should a white girl, ini.'es from civilization, spend half an hour on her personal toilet each morning, and again before each evening meal? What mattered k, on a rough outdoor expedition, if one's hair were not curled and set exactly right ? Or if one's rouge were not applied perfectly, and one's clothes meticulously dainty and clean? Honey Bee Girl, however, came from a race whcse dominant char- acteristic is patience. She Knows More She watched her chance to catch Scott Holliman alone, at some distance from the camp. She came quickly to the point, as us- ual in her conversations. "You want to make money," she sugge.sted, scowling, but not looking directly in his eyes. "Why â€" yeah. Don't ever'body? What's eatin' you, woman?" Holli- man was also matter-of-fact. "I know more about thee In- dian caves." Hcney Bee's speech had its brogue. "Thee white man, in thee big cities, they pay for what I know." "That so? How's that?" "I can show you many fine jar. Many big ollas, pots and things. In cave. Not broke. Worth many dollars. Some with thee horse de- sign. You know?" Holliman knew. Most outdoors- men do, in the Southwest. An an- cient pot, from some prehistoric ruin, is likely to be worth $100 or more as a museum piece. A horse design used in ornamenting water jars and grain storage jars, would more likely be worth §1000. Horses were not native to this continent. They were brought here by the first Spaniards. Horse patterns painted on walls of pre- historic ruins probably are due to Spanish invasion, as at Canvon de Chelly or Can_j'ou del Jlucrto, Arizona, far to the north of De- fiance Castle. But horse patterns on still earlier relics, especially on pottery pieces, might indicate de- scent from or communication with Asia. Each such piece would tend to strengthen the theory that America was populated first by Asiatics, hence each such piece was of high value. Holliman knew that. A Strange Proposition "Jars with horses on 'em? Whole jars?" Honey Bee nodded. "All right. I'M bile. What you want?" "You make thee love, try marry thee white woman?" "Hunh?" Holliman was shock- ed with surprise. "You make thee love. Miss I.anc. Keep her away from Bawb. 1 show you thee cave with horse jars." it was sort of fantastic, funny even, this strange proposition. But Holliman got the point. He pushed his floppy 10-gailon hat back on his head and grinned, but he told Honey Bee it was a bargain. "You do it â€" without me. You know?" Hone.v Bee scowled at him, in her peculiar manner. She looked a little vicious then, for all her wild beautv. Holliman sober- ed. "Vcah, 1 see I get paid for mak- ing 1; \e and keeping my mouth shut, while you take Barry. It's a deal. It oughtn't to be such a jiean job, nohow.''

Correct Make-up Dramatizes You Natural Texture of Skin May Be Improved But Not Con- cealed Providing she has a clear. smooiU complexion, it's every woman's business to learu to apply cosmet- ics so that tUe natv.ral texture and glow of her skiu are dramatized ra- ther iliau concealed. Unless it is used lo conceal the minor blemishes or rough spots, her foundation pi-eparatiou should give iho skin a di'licate. translucent fiu- iah rather than a heavy, caked look. It ought to be smoothed ou lightly and allowed to set for a moment or two before application of creum roii^o. • TRY CRKAM ROUGE Rouge should be placed on the cheeks where natural color shows after violent exercise or gentle pinching. Tho less used the better â€" and rougb e<iges must be smooth- ed out to disappear completely at the hair line and sides of the face. Unless the skin is extremely oily, cream rouge is likely to bo most satisfactory. MATCH SICIN TO.NES To achieve a dull finish with pow- der, apply it very generously after fouudatiou lotion and cream rouge have carefully blended. Let it set for a few minutes, then w-Uisk off the excess with a powder brush or a piece ot clean, fluffy cotton. Powder should match e.xactly your natural skin tones. Rouge and lipstick are most flattering it they match your natural blood tones or at least harmonize with the color your cheeks and lips appear to be when you are w-earing any color other than black and white.

'i>*r »;/ J By SADIE B. CHAMBERS Milk and Eggs As Health Foods k finished product svuich should bring much satisfaction and praise is the dish compounded of milk and eggs. These two foods prohal)- ly siiould be classed as the two most essentia! to health. It has been said by an eminent health au- thority, that milk lacks only one thing aud that is bulk â€" but it is frequently spoken ot as "the per- fect food." Then again, milk and eggs are perfect foods for children, containing high tjuality proteins, the food substances required for building the muscles and other tis- sues. Conslde^riug the minerals, milk is one of the best sources we have tor calcium and phosphorus. Eggs, w-hile contuiniug an apprec- iable amount ot these, are more valuable for their iron content. And both are rich in vitamina and are therefore classed as "protective foods". Milk is ec'.momical aud at present, eggs are also in that ciass. Here are a few favorite recipes con- taiuing these idea! foods: ORANGE OIVIEUET -1 oggs 4 tablespoons orange juic^ 1 teaspoon grated orange rind >3 teaspoon salt. Separate eggs aud hoat well.
