"You will be again." "You must go home." His voice •ame from far off. "Give me six months. I need that much time. I'll come to you, then." She searched the stern cast of his face for something she remembered, but he was wholly changed. He had lengthened the two years difference In their ages, and he returned her •crutiny with old-young eyes like those of Jim Randall. "I could stay here those six months," she said. "There's no rea- #on why I couldn't." She paused. •Yes, I'll stay. I'll be here where jrou need me." "I'll be off ir the hills," he re- plied stonily. "Or at my ranch. I wouldn't see you often." His ranch! She ignored his argu- ment. "Phil, you left your house •uddenly. Weâ€" Jim Randall and I â€"found it deserted, your uneaten meal as you left it. What did if mean?" "Nothing," he said definitely. She showed her despafr. "And frour letter begging me to come?" He shook his head wearily. "I don't know. . . ." Then; "Don't let things worry you, Virginia. I'll be •II right." He reached out and lay hii hands on her shoulders. "It ^.Ts grand of you to come. Thanks." He turned and stepped down from the veranda and strode away into the night. The next morning he rode up to the house, but did not dismount. Virginia went to him and found him unchanged. "I'm riding out to my ranch- kouse," he told her. "But you'll be back?" "In a day or two," he replied, hli »yes drifting away. ISSUE 3S 1940 "Phil, you're afraid of something," Virginia said. And when he did not answer: "Is itâ€" Steve Barron?" His face hardened. "Not any longer," he said. "He's ruined me. There's little more .he can do." "I don't understand, Phil," Vir- ginia said. "Barron refused to water my dy- ing stock during the drought, when he had plenty of water on his range. I have reason to believe my cattle were rustled by his riders." "You are sure?" He nodded jerkily. "He dream of owning this country. He's squeezing out the little ranchers. He drives out nesters. His word is law, enforced by men with guns. There are other things, too â€" which no one would believe " Virginia grasped his hand. "Phil, let's both go home I" "No. Not yet," he said grimly. "I have something to lick out here. I want the time to do it." He swung his horse about and rode away along the dusty street. Four days passed and she did not see him. But shortly after nightfall on the last day a cavalry troop ar- rived and made camp outside of Santa Bonita. It was Jim Randall's command, and shortly he came to Virginia. They walked together out into the moonlit desert night. "You've seen PhH Lawrence?" he asked. "Yes. Steve Barron found him." "Barron did, eh?" He regarded her questioningly. "Is the trouble between them ended?" "I don't know," Virginia replied. "I â€" 1 no longer understand Phil. He's chanfjed. Something has hap- pened to him. He's withdrawn into himself. Heâ€" he excludes even me." Jim lighted a cigarette. In the glow of the matcli, his face was stern and his eyes full of a great loneliness. "You still love him, don't Virginia?" She nodded. "Yes, I love him." "Then you must take him awJy from Santa Bonita," he said. She made a helpless gesture. "I tried and failed. Something I don't understand holds him here." They walked slowly on, and the lights of the town lay a half mile behind them. Jim began to talk, low-voiced, of the four-day scout from which he had just returned, bitter that Natchi's marauding band had eluded him. They stopped fin- ally and Virginia was suddenly aware that he looked tired. The loneliness in his eyes was deep and real. There was no hatred remaining In her; she forgot that once he had deeply hurt her. She said sudden- ly, "Jim, haven't you ever loved a woman?" He drew on his cigarette. He looked away from her. "Ye.sâ€" once," he said. "But uselessly." "You think of it at times, don't you?"

[ ANN£ HIRST "Dear Anne Hirst: For tour years, we have lived with my hus- band's mother. I do all the house work, and have a job, too. But it is my mother- in-law who is al- ways tired. "When I am at home, she does and says everything t o get me to leave, and to turn me against my husband. Anne Hirst, she has almost succeeded. I don't enjoy working, 1 want a home. But I want it to be my home, not liers. "My husband believes everything she says. Once we found a place. She was going to kill herself if he left â€" so that was the end of that! "I finally took a job, which pays more than 1 could make in an of- fice. His mother tells my husband the reason I work is so 1 can meet men I I've told him I work to get away from his mother. "He makes enough for us to live on, but when I offer to quit, he just sulks. My mother-in-law says I should leave, and boasts that her soil will never leave her. Now his dad is human, and knows how things are. But he can't say a word. "I do love my husband. But can he love me and not believe in me? Doesn't he see that he must make the home? I can't go on like this. Please advise me, and I'll carry it out. TROUBLED" * Your mother-in-law has a * weakling for a son. He has been * under her thimib for so long that * he has given up opposing her. ♦* You, as his wife, are the victim * of a relationship. * What she wants is for you * to leave, so she can have her * son to herself. Are you going to * let her win? * On the other hand, your situa- * tion is almost intolerable. Your * husband undoubtedly loves youâ€"-. * but not enough to put your hap- * piness first. As things stand, he * has no responsibilities, he is not * the head of his own house (which * would entail some financial sac- * rifices) and he is too blind to * see that only by providing that * home can he make you satisfied. * In bis mother's house, you are •* doing more work than you'd * have to do in your own, yet you * have no authority, and cannot * relax there. You are treated as * an unwanted inmate. Any wo- * man of spirit would resent it * I cannot advise you to leave. * You might lose your husband for * good. Is it worth that? Or isn't * it? Only you can decide. * You might find a room for * yourself, keep on with your job, * and see how ttiiii.cis go. Perhaps * your husband then would realize * how much he loves you and needs * you, and decide tliat any break * with his tiiotlier is worth being * with you. * Think it over. For a man to insist that his wife live with his mother, when it isn't necessary, is to take the first step toward ruining his marriage.
