THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, 00LBORNE, ONT., MAR. 10, 1938 Of Special Interest' to Women Readers Tea for every Taste SALAM POWDER . . By REX BEACH Synopsis Ben Furlong, a young but practical oil man and driller from the Pennsylvania field, drifted into the Texas oil country, broke and looking for work. Finally he fetched up at the Durham home where live an elderly aunt, shortly widowed by the explosion of a powder wagon, and her niece, pretty Betty Durham. . . . Perhaps because cf his smile, Betty cooks some food for Ben and while he eats he learns the aunt, in town on business, has an oil man, Tiller Maddox, sinking an oil wed for her. ... A short 6 inch bolt worked loose from the rigging and is in the bottom of the well. Work has been suspended for days as the crew "fish" for the bolt and operating funds dwindle away. . . . Furlong offers to give a hand but Maddox objects .... Betty insists and overrules Maddox so Furlong fashions a tool which he has just lowered Into the well, hoping to fish out the bolt. . . . Now go on with the story. CHAPTER III Furlong himself handled the rig during this operation, and even Maddox could find no fault with the way he did it. When, after what seemed an interminable time, the wire cable began to stream up out of the depths and wind itself in smooth, black layers upon the drum, the two women pressed in upon the derrick floor. Out of the well-mouth finally slid tfonless'vt&nVn«"f £tSSroH-*"n" mn-level of their eyes. The teeth had been bent inward, jammed together by the blows from above; inside the basket thus formed and tightly bitten between two of those prongs was a battered six-inch piece of steel. When Furlong had finished washing up he found Betty Durham waiting for 10c a day buys a new guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE TYPEWRITER with all essential features FREE-- CARRYING CASE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR Remington Rand Limited Toronto CHILDREN of all ages thrive on "CROWN BRAND" CORN SYRUP.

"Come over to the house," she said. "You must be tired." "I told you I was lucky," the young man declared, with a grin. "Lucky, nothing. You've got sense. "Simple, wasn't? I wonder Maddox never thought of It." Greed Betty stirred; impatiently she exclaimed: "Oh, he's too busy thinking about something--! Say! We've got an extra room, but Aunt Mary says it wouldn't look right for you to sleep there. Don't that make you sick?" "How about the barn?" "That's what she proposed. Come on. We'll fix it somehow." It was dark; the trail through the cactus and the mesquite was dim, but Betty knew it by heart, and where its meanderings were undistinguishable she took Furlong's hand and guided him. "I suppose you think Aunt Mary's crazy, risking all her money like this," she said. "I sure do," the man admitted. "This thing will show you the chances she's taking. Suppose that bolt had been something else, something we couldn't get hold of? There's a thousand things can happen to a well." "I know. But she's--greedy. She always was. Tiller talked her into it after Uncle Joe died, and she wouldn't listen to me." "It's a lot safer to let the big companies do the drilling, and be satisfied with a rovaltv.". | the girl said, quietly. Then after a moment. "Uncle Joe never intended j to leave the whole farm to her. They > didn't hitch very well. He said he was j going to leave part of it to me, but--I guess he never got around to it. I'll bet Aunt Mary's sorry by this time that she listened to Tiller; there's so many things a driller can do to & well." '•Pshaw* Is he that kind of a man?" "What kind of a man? Men are all alike, aren't they--when they've got reason to be?" "She better fire him." "I guess she can't, or dassent . . . Funny my talking this way to you and not knowing you only a few hours. I'd better mind my own business. Here we are. You wait while I get a light." They had arrived at the house, and the girl left her companion outside. She reappeared in a few minutes with a lantern and a couple of patchwork comforters. These latter she surrendered to Ben, then led the way to the barn. A Strange Feeling Like most farms in the oil country, this one had been allowed to run down, and with the exception of some chickens and a few dispirited cattle there was no live stock left upon it. There still remained, however, some old fodder; it was dusty and musty, but suitable enough for a bed, and Furlong announced that he was delighted with these sleeping arrangements. He set the lantern down and walked to the door with Betty. There he said: "You've been mighty nice to me. I wish that fishing job had been hard- "Why?" "It would have taken longer." The girl's face was dimly illuminated as she smiled up at Furlong. She was the prettiest girl he had ever known and he felt a great liking, a great sympathy for her.

JTOR young girls womaVhood, 'for women in middle life going through the "change," or those who Perfumes Have Lowly Origins Glamorous Scents Ensnared By Humble Animal Substances When a civet cat gets frightened or a whale becomes ill, it's good news to the perfume industry. For, according to William D. V. Jequier, director of Parfums Weil, one of the largest perfumery houses in. the world, secretions from lowly animals are the "fixatives" or bases oi all glamorous scents. Beginning with one of the fives," a chemist who works with hii nose more than with a pencil and per adds, among other things, thetic as well as pure flower odors If all goes well, he gets a perfui which is "round" -- the term wii which perfumers describe a perfect perfume. Synthetic and Real From Holland, Switzerland and many come the majority of the thetics--as important in a good fume as the pure flower extracts, in the fields surrounding Grasse the Riviera grow almost all of th< world's supply of flowers fi odors. Experienced women stick tl fresh blooms into cakes of hard pi and cow grease, leave them there til the grease has absorbed all of tie odor. Each strongly scented cake is then washed in alcohol. The alcohol in turn absorbs the odor. Freezing Process Lavender is the only blossom not treated in this fashion. It's put in huge vats, literally tramped on until the oil is pressed out. Next to the last step in the making of perfume is the freezing process. At about 18 degrees below zero alcohol gives back what it has absorbed. What it returns is fltered for clarity. Into large storage tanks goes the perfume, to remain there for several months, after which it is bottled, packed, shipped --"round" and perfect. FISH In the Diet During the Lenten season it is the custom in many homes to serve fish at least twice a week. Such adherence to the spirit of the season need not mean a privation however. Fish can be a very delicious change in the diet and there are many ways of serving it. Now is the time to try new variations of your old fish dishes and some new ones which we are giving here. We have given the recipe for Cass erole of Salmon in these columns before but many of you may not have saved it so we are including it.

A sudden recklessness overwhelmed him and before he knew what he was doing he had bent forward and kissed her. The girl was startled, but she did not recoil. Curiously she inquired: "Why did you do that?" "I don't know. I--I couldn't help it, I guess. I didn't intend to, but--" Ben floundered; he felt his face burning hotly. "Tiller tried that and I slapped him. I've known him a long time, too,--!" Miss Durham shook her head, apparently more perplexed at her own lack of resentment than surprised at Furlong's boldness. "I must like you pretty well." "I wish yo- would--did. 1--think you're wonderful." "Queer!" Betty turned to go. A moment later she called back through the gloom, "I'll call you when breakfast is ready." Furlong was not altogether surprised when, on the following morning, Tiller Maddox offered him a job. Maddox, it was plain, was acting up- GRAY ROCKS INN on orders, and he took no pains to conceal his dislike for the new hand; nevertheless, Ben accepted the proffer. Aside from the fact that he needed work, his interest in Betty Durham was now sufficient to make almost any sacrifice worth while. In the days thereafter he tried to fathom the peculiar relationship existing between Maddox and the two women, but he did not succeed very well. The driller, it was evident, had his heart set upon Betty, and in his attempt to win her Mrs. Durham was his ally; nevertheless, for some unknown reason the aunt disliked and distrusted the man. About all that Ben could make sure of was the fact that in some manner not readily apparent the oil well was being used by Maddox as a weapon; that somehow it had become the stake in a three-cornered game.
