She broke off abruptly, her eyes frightened. Jim said quickly, "What about Barron?" "Votliing." came her flat, lieavy rcpiy . He was wise enough in the ways of people to know that her lips â- were now sealed. Whatever she knew about Steve Barron was lock- «d within her. He said, "I'm not going to arrest Lawrence â€" it you do as I say." "If I do as vou say?" she said, puzzled. "Ves," he said, and knew he was being cruel. "You're going to give liim up. You're going to break â- witli him." "But I love him!" "So does the girl he promised to marry. She had a claim on him." ".And if I don't break with him?" , "I'll send him to prison." She sank into a chair and covered her face with her hands. "You don't know what you're Mking," she sobbed. "I'm making a sacrifice too," he told her. "I'm an officer â€" and I'm disobeying my orders which were to arrest the men who held up the Lannasa stage." She looked up. "Why?" she de-, Bianded. "Why are you doing that?" "I guess you know why," he tail!. "You love â€" that girl?" "I love that girl," he admitted. He turned away from her, his face grim.

"With the girl he promised to marry, Lanya." She rose. She looked small and sad and willed. "I'm not going to say yes â€" yet. Let me think. I've got to think this ou " "Don' take too long," he said. "I want Phil Lawrence away from the Territory â€" soon." He took up his campaign hat from the table and moved to the door. "You can save him, Lanya," he said, tlien he opened the door and went out. • » ♦ h'rom the street he glanced up at the window of Mrs. Warden's house. The window was dark and blank. Virginia was no longer there. He walked on slowly, toward the camp. When Virginia awoke the next morning Jim Randall's command had already left camp. From the kitchen door she saw the troop far off across the desert, trailing a long funnel of yellow dust. Slie watched the column until it was beyond the desert's rim. Then she went to her room and took up pen and paper. She wrote swiftly, as if afraid her newly-formed decision would .some- how he fliakeii. "Dearest Phil: 1 have decided you are ri^bt. I iiliould go hdiiic. Tliere is nothing here for me but a vast emptiness. .\nd I am afraid of it. I shan't beg you to go with me â€" though I want you to, badly. 1 know sonictliiiig holds you here, but I don't know what it is. "I shall be waiting for you â€" and loving you. Come to me in six months, as vou promised. Yours, Virginia." • • » It was always possible to find a boy who owned a horse and a saddle and wlio would run an errand for a dollar or two. Virginia stepped from the house to find such a boy to ride out to Phil's ranch with the letter. She saw a lankly, redhead- ed boy in front of the general store She walked toward him. She saw Lanya Correy in he. doorway but, remembering Jim Randall had visited the dance hall girl during the night, slie could not greet her. "Miss Ames. . . ' Virginia halted and turned. Lan- ya came from the doorway, a slim dark girl in a plain gingham dress. Her face was very pale, her darl eyes smouldering. Virginia said: "Yes, Lanya?" "I'd like to talk to you," the girl said. "Will you come to my house?" "Whyâ€" yes, of course."

For those who like pickled "cukes" â€" and there are many of us â€" the following is just about the easiest way of doing them down that 1 have tried. They're called ICE WATER PICKLES 6 pounds cucumbers 3 quarts white vinegar 3 cups sugar 1 cup salt Onions Celery Mustard seed METHOD: Six pounds medium- size cucumbers, each cut in four to eight chunks, according to size. Soak in ice water (or very cold water) for three hours, then drain and pack pieces into sterilized jars. To each jar add six pickling onions, one piece celery and one teaspoon mustard seed. ' Now niix together the vinegaf, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, pour over cucumbers and seal at once. » â-  » ♦ What are known as "bread and butter pickles" seem to become more popular each year â€" and no wonder, as they're really delicious when properly made. Here's one of the best recipes I've run across; and even though cracked ice may be rather hard for some of this col- umn's readers to lay hands on, I'm going to include it anyway. Bread-and-Butter Picklea 1 gallon firm clean cucumbers 8 small white onions 2 gree.i peppers 2 red peppers Yt cup salt 1 quart cracked ice 5 cups sugar XYi teaspoons tumeric y^ teaspoon ground cloves 2 teaspoons mustard seed 1 teaspoon celery seed 5 cups cider vinegar MEIHOD: Slice the cucumbers in paper-thin rounds and pack into a stone crock together with the onions and green and red peppers. Now mix the era-' ed ice with the salt and pack around the mixed vegetables in the crock. Cover the crock with a weighted lid and al- low to stand for 3 hours, then drain. Transfer your pickles now to a large enamel or aluminum kettle and pour over them a mixture of the vinegar, sugar and spices. Bring to boiling point over low heat. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal. Recipe makes 7 pints. * ♦ » So now let's call it enough of sour things for one session; and now I'm going to give you still another peach recipe. It has the advantage that either fresh or canned peaches can be used, so if you don't get around to giving it a trial right now, it will be just as good next winter.

Fair QMestion An inspector, noted for his fault- finding propensities, was inspecting a newly completed portion of a highway. He grumbled at every- thing. The crown was not high enough, the shoulder too steep, the ditches not deep enough, and so tli« string of complaints went on. The foreman bore It all patiently. Then he straightened up to his full hsight, and, looking the inspector in the eye, asked: "How is she for length?"
