I haven't the time." The lieutenant turned to Virginia and tool< her trni. He helped her almost roughly into the carriage. When slie wai iealed under its top. lie said, "I've held up the march for an hour." \ irginia said demurely, "I'm very ♦orry, lieutenant." He turned to O'Grady, who elimbed into the driver's seat "Fol- low me close, driver, I won't b« <lflayed longer" He walked to hit horse and put kis foot into the stirrup. Stephen Barron stepped down from the hotel â- trps. "Randall, one minute." Jim Randall faced him impati- •ntlv. "Well?" "I'd like to know if you've gotten t line on those bandits who robbed *(• stage last night." Tve investigated and obtained a description of two of them," the •rniy officer said. "I had time for â- 0 further investigation. The hold- tip shall be reported to Maj. Ben- ion at Fort Winfield." < I • "VN'ell â€" thanks," Barron said. "Don't thank me, Barron," Jim Randall said. "I'd like to arrest those bandits, but not merely to accom- modate you. You understand that, I guess." "I under.stand that," Stephen Bar- ron smiled lazily at Ms fingers rolled a cigarette. Tliere was the threat of sharp sleel behind his • mile; he looked suddenly hard and dangerous witliout changing at all. "However, I suffered the only loss. Two thousand dollars of mine wai in (he box those bandits took. I can't aflford losses like that." \ irginia watched the two men; they seemed like duelists. Their eyes measured earii other. She eoii'd sense their wills clash. Jim Randall said. ''It's not your /Srai loss in a stage holdup, Barron. Kor likely to be your last. There'i •onietliing mighty queer that those bandits prey only on you." Stephen Barron lighted his cigar- etlf. lie said evenly, "^'es â€" mighty queer." "And 1 have a hunch you know what's back of these robberies." "If 1 knew," Barron said evenly, "I'd do something about them." He turned, swept off his hat to Virginia, and said. "Adios, Misi Ames." She smiled back, a.\a!-e of Jim Randall's annoyed frown. South out of Lannasa, tlie caval- cade traversed i trail so level and straight it seemed to reach into the pale blue of space. Three army freight wagons, big lumbering ve- hicles, trailed behind Virginia's two- horse carriage. Twenty trooper* formed the escort, marching behind the wagons in double file. A ser- geant and a bugler rode ahead of Virginia's carriage, and at the heed of the column Jim Randall rode with the scout, a leathery-faced man wearing battered sombrero, a baggy vest over faded gray shirt, denim Levies tucked into worti cowboy boots. ♦ • Hoofs mad* t clop-clopping sound. Sabers clattered in scab- bards. Saddles creaked. The wa- gons gave out complaining noises. Airrona sun blaxed in a brass sky. The miles stretched long and tor- tuous. Virginia challenged this new country with eager eyes. It was the country Phil Lawrence had adopted nearly two years before, a land from which he meant to wrest hii fortune. It was a wild, lonely country. Late in the afternoon, Jim Ran- dall rode back to Virginia's car- riage. His horse was lathered and dust-begrimed, but he showed no signs of trail-wear. He pointed in- to the vast distance ahead. "Beyond those granite hills show- ing through the heat haze," he said, lies better country. We'll camp there for the night." • • The granite bills lay behind them at dusk Camp was made by a • tream bordered by Cottonwood trees. It was bivouac for the sol- diers, but Jim Randall had a tent erected for Virginia. They ate army food in the glow of the campfirei, and the night swiftly closed down. Stars began to sparkle against the blue-black of the sky, and the moon rose over faraway hills, a great orange-tinted ball. Virginia walked along the stream'i edge, her thoughts uneasy and dwelling on Phil Lawrence. She stopped and leaned back against the slanting trunk of a tree, and there Jim Randall found her. "Don't wander too far," he said. "I shan't" she assured him. (Continued Next Week) CROSSWORD PUZZLE 11. Biwtl* \t. Recantlr 17. Man's narn« to. Kalda 21. Kzplualoa (m«d.) M. In eood tlina U.

Of course "we are what k\e eat" is a very old and well-known adage. Yet far too few of us pay any real attention to it. Yet the food we eat â€" or don't eat â€" has so much to do with how we feel and the en- joyment \vc get out of liic. Some time ayo a survey was made of some families down in Pennsyl- vania â€" average families, very much like yours, who THOUGHT that tlicy were eating well. Yet a year of better meal planning and wiser sckction of foods proved that • lot of .sorcalled "minor" ailment* could be almost done away with; ailments such as colds, fatigue ."nerves" and so on. Eating the wrong foods over a period of yeare even showed up in poor bones and •leeth. So I thought today I'd give you, just a reminder, a little chart which shows, in handy form, the different food groups and the number of servings each person should get. FOOD GROUPS SERVINGS PER PERSON Lealy, green, and yellow vegetables 10 to 12 a week Citrus fruit, tomatoes 7 to 9 a week Potatoes, sweet potatoes Other vegetables and fruit 7 to 9 a week 10 to 12 a week Milk (may be as cheese, ice cream) Children: 4 cups a day Adults: 3 cups a day Meat, poultry, fish Eggs Dry beans, peas and nuts 7 to 8 a week 7 eggs a week 1 to 2 a week Flour, cereals, baked goods (whole grain, enriched, restored) Every meal Fats, oils, sugar, syrup, pre.servea As needed. Butter or margarine daily. Lver get a notion that you'd like to get busy and whip up some kind of a dessert that was really new and different?

ISSUE 20 â€" 1040 ANN£ B4IRST t The daughter A tired motlKr :i»ks my opinion of her situation. Tins mother has been married 28 years. She had only two children, and she lost the son during this last war. She has not got over it. She has always been nervous and in poor health, and a few operations did not tend to calm her nerves. Now she feels that her daughter, who is a mother too, is demanding of her more than she can hope to perform. \i married, has two youngsters. She also has a part - time job. She leaves her four-year-old in a day nursery, and her mother cares for the baby. The two children are with their grandmother every evening, while their mother and fathei go out "( don't mind keeping the chil- dren one or two nights a week." she writes, "while my daughter and her husband go to a party or the theater. But I think when they just go to friends' homes, they should be able to t.ike the children along. "It is quite a job to keep babies all the time, after your own are grown and you're out of practice. Every night after my daughter takes her cliildren home, I am a nervous wreck. I love the children dearly, and hate myself for quarrel- ing with my daughter. But she never does anything for me. She never makes a lied after the chil- dren's naps, or does their dishes, or picks up after them. "Nfy husband and my relatives, and sometimes her own husband feel that I am being imposed upon. Their home is not far off, but she and her babies practically live at my house. I do love the girl very much, and I wish we could get along better together." * A grown daughter who has * babies of her own should assume • her proper responsibilities. To * park them with her mother, and • expect her to look after them ♦ every night while stie and her * hdsbdiid enjoy themselves, in . * manifestly unfair. Not only is shi. * robbing herself of the coinpanioo. * ship of her children, but she m * taking advantage of her mother's * kindness. And showing, in this * cise, precious little appreciation * of all the service her mother is * grving. * Tins is the Lime for thai: * mother to take her stand. She * must be relieved of some of * these re?ponsibilitiPs which drain * her strength. For her daughter's * sake, too, the girl must be made * to behave like a mother should, * and not burden her mother with * the duties which naturally are * her own. It is all very well for a grand- mother to be an occasional baby- sitter. But to assume the entire care of even one child every day is unjust. It deprives her and her husband of any social life of their own (which this woman surely needs) and it imposes re- * sponsibilities upon Iter which, at * her age. are outrageous. * The one way that this girl will * come to respect her mother (and * so get along with her mora * pleasantly) is for that mother to * take a firm stand, and refuse anf * longer to be imposed upon. * * * A mother can do too much for her children. When they come tO' take her for granted, trouble starts. Anne Hirst's long obsedvation of family troubles is at yout service.
