CHAPTER II (Continued From Last Week) He seemed to want to talk. "We •aw signs of Apaches on the way nortli." "How interesting." Her voice wai •tudiously bored. He gave her an intent look, then turned away. He halted when jhe •aid, softly, "Jitn . . ." "Ye.s?" "Nothing ... I'm sorry." But it was enough to hold him. He brought out a pipe and filled and lighted it. He smoked in silence •nd seemed to listen to the night'i quiet. Virginia felt the nearness of him and the distance of him, too. She watched him through half- closed eyes, dreamily, wondering •bout him and his life. His voice shattered her thoughts, "I» your fiance to meet you at Fort Winfield?" "N'o . . . I â€" I mean to surprise him." He was suddenly at her aide. "He's rather a lucky fellow. You have grown into a lovely woman, Virginia." Her eyes flaslied him scorn. She 4rew away. "I think we're wan- dering too far," she said. "I think t shall return to camp." He shrugged, knocked the ashes ffom his pipe, and oflfered her hit •fm. Slic ignored the offer and walked on ahead of him. The next da3' a broken axle on •ne of the wagons delayed the march for several hours.

ISSUE 21 - 1949 took the column, joining it when it moved on again. Steve Barron rod* beside Virginia and talked at tiinea. Each occasion Jim Randall looked back frowning m disapproval. HU frowns prompted Virginia to talk more spiritedly, laugh more gaily. At dusk, Mel Scarlett, the scout, appeared suddenly on tlie trail ahead. He had been scouting alt day, seeming to travel 10 miles to the column's one. He made a sign to Jim Randall, and the ofl!icer'« 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 lik« 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 th* stream and entered to its middle. The water swirled about his horse's legs. The Apache rode to the water's edge, signaled with hit lance. A second Indian appeared from the trees and joined tiie first. They entered the water. The talk began. Shortly a third warrior appeared and joined the i^rst 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 1 trap!" Steve Barron rode close. "Don't wQfry," he said easily. "Randall will handle the situation." Virginia looked at him surprised. He grinned at her. "Oil, Jim Randall and I respect one anotherâ€"" 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." lie said "The sergeant is worried because Randall is outnumbered. If there's an attack, it will be because the Apacliet are much stronger in num- ber than the soldiers." He looked closely at Virginia. "Frightened?" She shook her head. "No . .

His plight results from a brain injury received in an automobile accident on April 27, 1948. He's pictured 4n hospital, watched over by his mother, Mrs. Donald Wilson, left, and Nurse Virginia Hursey. ' TABLE TALKS clarvz- Andt^ews". It's hard to understand why so many first class cookt â€" present company excepted, of course â€" 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 tliumb" 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 '/i 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 beat 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 'A pound rhubarb. Crush tlioroughly about 1 quart fully ripe strawberries. Combine fruits and measure 3 cups into a large saucepan. Measure sugar and let aside Place saucepan holding fruit over high heat. Add powdered fruit pec- tin and stir until mixture comM to a hard boil. At once stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil and boO hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, skim, 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 pic, for example. While the berry se«- itir and skim 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 making all your straw- berry jam "straiglit" why not try some that's "stretched out" with a bit of rhubarb. The flavor is grand; in fact there are lots of folks who prefer it to the other. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Flower t. Paper maaa- ureH II. Preaent IS. NecesNltaU 14. CorrelatlT* of oUhcr II.

"Well, my boy, it seems to me it's ordinary advice dressed in â-  Mack soat and stripped trousers." one wonders, HAS So often wheu • husband falls in love with somebody else, or for any other reason wants his freedom, his wife cries, "t^ow can he do this to me? 1,,'ve given him the best years of my life!" Sometimes SHE? One frantic wife whose husband wants a divorce, is stunned by the request. Slie can- not imagine why he is dissatisfied. Well, perhaps my readers ,can wl'.en they read these excerpts from her letter: "I've made a place for him in the social life here which he would never have foimd alone. I belong to four organiza- tions, and work hard in them. I make him go to their banquets and other affairs. He doesn't enjoy them, but I know they're good for him. "We belong to the Friday Night Dance Club. He'd rather bowl, or â- tay home, but we meet the right people there. "Our Literary Society gets im- porunt authors to lecture, ana we discuss the latest books at our meetings. I insist he go along, so he can improve his mind. "On Saturdaj afternoons we at- tends concerts, also one evening dur- ing the week. Sunday nights there it always a buffet supper at some- body's house (often our own) and though he is not a good conversa- tionalist, these contacts have helped him in his business. "We have two girls and one son. Two are in private schools, one In •ollege. They have their own ears, and usually spend weekends -with their friends; they plan their oirn vacations. I never understood them very well, so when they were small I had govemeaaee to manage th«m. "Where have I fafled, Anne Hint? Alwajra I've don* what I thought was best for hia advancement And now, out of a elcar tky, he wants to leave me!" â€" Broken-Hearted- * This may appear to be an sx- * aggerated case of a selfish woman * going her own way, while an * amiable husband foots the bills. * Yet it does exist And, to a differ- * snt degree, many othsr wivas * ofifend in the same ,way. * They have never taken the * trouble to understand their hus- * bands, or consult them as to how * they'd prefer to spend what little * leisure they have. It is all plan- * ned for them by' 'perfect wives" * who, if the truth were known, are * only doing what their own social * ambitions demand and dragging * unwilling husbands along, hus- * bands who'd rather spend an * evening before their own fireside, * or a Saturday afternoon at s ball * game. * It is no wonder that, after 20 * years of such a program, the man * finally rebels. And another wo- * man is not necessarily concerned. * The man wants to relax in his * own way. But at home, that is * forbidden. At this late day, is thfr nj- thing such a wife can do to kee^ her husband with her? To "Broken-Hearted". Re»4 this piece again, and see how yo« have failed, both as wife aii4 mother. Your children have beea- driven away from their home and parents by your neglect; jon couldn't understand them. "Why should they want to spend holi- days with you when they cannot feel at home in their own houscf You have forced your husband to live YOUR life, not the life he hoped for when he married you. You have led him by the nose where YOU thought he should « ' go, robbed him for years of every precious hour of his leisure. Try to see yourself objectively. If you can do that, then confess to your husband how remorseful you are that you have driven him away from you. Ask him for an- other chance, and promise front now on you will live thtf life HK enjoys, and make his home a place where HE can relax. Also^ that you will share his interest in sports and other fields, and live the^ife HE chooses. This is your one chance to bold him.
