He brouglit out a pipe and filled and lighted it. He smoked in silence and seemed to listen to the night'* quiet. Virginia felt the nearness of him and the distance of him, too. the watched him through half- •losed eyes, dreamily, wondering about him and his life. His voice shattered her thoughta, "Ii your fiance to meet you at Fort Winfield?" ".Vo . . . Iâ€"! mean to surprise him." He was suddenly at her side. "He's rather a lucky fellow. You have grown into s lovely woman, Virginia." Her eyes flaslied him scorn. She 4rcw away. "I think we'rt wan- dering too far," she said. "I thitilc I shall return to camp." He shrugged, knocked the ashes Irom his pipe, and offered her hia •rm. Slie ignored the offer and walked on ahead of him. The next day a broken axle on •ne of the wagons delayed the «arch for several hours.

Each occasion Jim Randall looked back frowning m disapproval. His frowns prompted Vlrg;inia to talk more spiritedly, laugh more gaily. At dusk, Mel Scarlett, the scout, appeared suddenly on the trail ahead. He had been scouting all day, seeming to travel 10 miles to the column's one. He made a sign to Jim Randall, and the officer's order halted the march. The troop- ers rode forward to flank the wagons. They had halted in a wooded, rocky country. Beyond where Mel Scarlett sat on his horse was a wide, shallow stream. On the far side stood a mounted figure, motionless as stone. An Apache. Naked ex- cept for head-band, breecli-clout, moccasins and bandolier of cart- ridges, his body shone coppery in the half-light. He carried rifle and lance. Scarlett rode to Jim Randall. "Wants a pow-wow, sir. Don't like It none. Good spot for an ambush." Jim Randall nodded. He talked to Sgt. O'Hara. He sent a trooper forward on foot to a fallen tree lying some 30 yards ahead Then, with Mel Scarlett, he rode to the stream and entered to its middle. The water swirled about his horse's legs. The Apache rode to the water's edge, signaled with his lance. A second Indian appeared from the trees and joined the first. They entered the water. The talk began. Shortly a third warrior appeared and joined the first two. A minute later a fourth followed. The fifth, emerging from behind a giant boulder, appeared and rode to the group. Virginia stepped from the car- riage. She heard the soldiers voic- ing anxious thoughts. O'Grady, her driver, growled annoyance. "Is Randall a fool? He's walked into a trap!" Steve Barron rode close. "Don't worry." he said easily. "Randall will handle the situation." Virginia looked at him surprised. He grinned at her. "Oil, Jim Randall and ! respect one another â€" " he began but broke off as Sgt. O'Hara, a grizzled old campaigner, spoke quiet orders. The troopers dismounted with their rifles. They took up positions for a skirmish. Steve Barron dis- mounted. He wore two ivory- butted guns in holsters at his thighs. His face was suddenly grave. "Looks like trouble." he said "Tlie sergeant is worried because Randall is outnumbered. If there's an attack, it will be because the Apaches are much stronger in num- ber than the soldiers." He looked closely at Virginia. "Frightened?" She shook her head. "No . . " But her lips were cold and dry, (Continued Next Week"!

It's hard to understand why so many first class cooks â€" present company excepted, of courseâ€" will carefully follow recipes for almost everything they make, with one ex- ception. That's jam. When it comes to jam making they're inclined to follow "rule of thumb" methods, often with results that aren't en- tirely satisfactory. This is a great mistake when it's so easy to follow scientific instruc- tions that lead straight to success. Here, for instance, is a grand way to make that almost universal favor- ite: STRAWBERRY JAM 4 cups prepared fruit 7 cups sugar Yi bottle fruit pectin Method. Crush thoroughly about 2 quarts fully ripe strawberries. Measure 4 cups into a large sauce- pan. Add sugar to fruit in sauce- pan and mix well. Place over high heat, bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in bottled fruit pectin. Then RHUBARB and STRAWBERRY JAM 3 cups prepared fruit 4^ cups sugar 1 box powdered fruit pectin Method. , Slice thin or chop (do not peel) about Vt pound rhubarb. Crush thoroughly about 1 quart fully ripe strawberries. Combine fruits and measure 3 cups into a large saucepan. Measure sugar and set aaiti*. Place saucepan holding fruit over high heat. Add powdered fruit pec- tin and stir until mixture comes to a hard boil. At once itir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil and boQ hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, ikim, ladle quickly into glasses. Paraffin at once. Makes about 7 six-ounce glasses. The strawberry-rhubarb combin- ation is a grand one for other things beside jam. Deep dish pie, for example. While the berry sea- stir and sUlin by turns for five minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Pour quickly into glasses. Paraffin at once. Makes- about 10 glasses six ounces each. Instead of makiiig all your straw- berry jam "straight" why not try some that's "stretched out" with a bit of rhubarb. The flavor is grand; in fact there arc lots of folks who prefer it to tlie other. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS I. nower S. Pap«r mea«- ure.H II. Pr«a«nr It. rfaceaNlt&t« 14. CnrrelatlT« of «itl;«r 15.

Well, perhaps my readers ,can when they read these excerpts from her letter: "I've made a place for him in the social life here which he would never have found alone.
