"I --1 don't think it" Virginia had not expected to find sleep that night. Danger made the darkness static. The nights noises were startling. The howl of a coy- ote, the hoot of an owl: eerie sounds "always and doubly so now. But her body was weary from the day of hard travel. Sleep came swiftly. She awoke once and lay tensely listening. Low-pitched voices rcached her from somewhere out- side. Jim Randall's voice first. "His fiancee, Barron," he was saving. "A very nice person. Much toc voung to be hurt!" Steve Barron laughed softly, "You giving me orders, Randall?" "Call it that i vou like," Jim Randall replied. "I get it." Barron said.

Their voices moved away, were lost. Virginia lay in the darkness of her tent shivering. Afraid. They might have been discussing her-- and Phil. She knew they had beenl Then -- her heart was furiously pounding -- something was wrong. Phil must be in trouble. 'CHAPTER IV. In the bleak. gray of early dawn, Jim Randall came to Virginia's tent and called to her in a low, urgent voice that snapped her wide awake. She sat up and pushed aside the heavy army blankets. She saw him outside the tent's opening, a tall - grey form th the faint light. His face was indistinct, but she had the impression that it was. grave. "Yes, I'm awake," she said. "May I come in?" "Just a minute. . . ."" She had not undressed except to loosen her dress fastenings and remove her shoes. Quickly ler fingers secured, but- tons and drew on her shoes. She rose and tried to smooth the wrin- kles from her dress, attempted to arrange her tousled hair so that she looked presentable. "All right," he said. And he bent and stepped inside... Then, crisply, he said, "Virginia, I don't want to frighten you. But there may be trouble. The Apaches are near by. They may attack." She took a step toward him. "Jim you must be carefull" "I?" he looked astonished: thinking of you." Her color was higher; she could feel it burn her cheeks. She was a fool, of course. But she had loved him once. She said breathlessly: "Mel Scarlett told me. The Apaches want to capture you. They----" "Virginia, my child----" She recoiled as if he had slapped her. He. spoiled it all with three words, shattered everything she had an instant ago felt for him. He had dared to call her a child a second time! 'At 17 she hated him for that. At 20 she could despise him--with all the strength of her mature be- ing. ' "It's quite all right," she said flatly. = "Thanks for bringing me the 'warning." "Here's my plan," -he said.

"The chimnev is formed by four poles of the proper length, interlaced with a wickerwork of small branches. A hole or pit is dug near at hand, and with a mixture of clay and water. a sort of mortar is formed. Large wisps of hay are filled with this thick substance and fashioned with the hands. into what are technically called 'clay cats' and then are filled in among the framework of the chimney until not a chink is left. The whole is then covered with a smooth coating of wet clay, which is denominated 'plastering.' Be- tween the logs which compose the walls of the building small bits of wood are driven quite near togeth- er; this is called 'chinking,' and after_it is done clay cats are intro- - duced and smoothed over with the plaster. When all is dry, both walls and chimney are whitewashed and present a comfortable and tidy ap- pearance ..."" When the sawmill arrived with "its adjunct, the blacksmith. shop, the log cabin took a step forward, Window sash and glass filled the crude opening in the logs aad wrought-iron hinges and nails se- cured flapping doors and shingles. As a matter of fact, the sawmill spelled the well-deserved doom of the log house." I'rom "Architecture in Old Chicago," by Thomas E. Tallmadge. HURRY DID IT Here's the story of an actual farm Accident, as Told by a Farm Safety Specialist "Matt! Oh, Matt!" Lucy called from the back door. "Matt, I need some wood or | can't finish the dinner." "All right, all right . , . Get it in just a minute." Matt was in the shop putting: sharp shares on the plow. The first one wasn't going on very easily, and Matt was get ting impatient. "I'll just put on this share," he thought. "Don't see- why Lucy doesn't get her own wood, anyway. Course it isn't cut, but lots of wom- en cut their own wood." The share was going on better now. "Matt!" Where is that wood?" Lucy called again from the door. "Oh, all right!" Matt dropped the share in exasperation. I'll never get the plowing done at this rate," he thought. "Oh, well, I'll get a stick or two, theh get the plow ready while she finishes dinner." Matt rushed over to the wood pile, picked up the axe, grabbed a Llock of wood and swung at it. "I'll get that back field plowed today, then , . , Oh, oh, Lucy!" Matt grabbed His left hand and fell to the ground in pain. In his hurry, he had swung the axe be- fore he could get hold of the block correctly. The axe blade had struck his forefinger, sever- ing it neatly just above the 'sec- ond joint. ¢ -Matt had used an axe for many years, was rather proud of his skill with it. He could set up a block of wood and in a few swift, well- directed cuts have. a cascade of stove-wood around block... Where had he made a mis- take this time? Hurry did it. In modern life, the temptation to hurey is always with us. Our way of life is built on speed -- on getting things done quickly. a But it's jmportant to make a dis- tinction between hurrying and do- ing a job quickly, Hurry may be called uncontrolled or undirected speed. To get things done quickly, there must be no wasted effort. To hurry is to make many move- ments, but to-get nowhere. Hurrying and' planning other work while handling such a dan erous tool as an axe is inviting isaster, It's especially important for a farmer to study how to do his various jobs most efficlertly. Planning will help you do your work without hurry, yet get it done quickly "and efficiently. Rember! "Ber alert -- don't . get hurt!"

LN "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 22, and have been married half a year, My wife and her folks are full of fun, and I would consider myself a lucky man----but because of di- ferences in our religious beliefs, there is a disheartening atmosphere in our household. : "Under hs influence of her family, my wifg has set. out to change my ideals.
