A detail of calvary came through the wide gateway and rode across the parade ground. Lights glowed beliind the window^- of barracks and officers' tuiarters. The army post bustled. Virginia's glance came back to Jim Randall. He sat on the edge of the Bcnsons' porcli. close to her chair, idly smoking his cigarette. He was watching the troopers ride across the field. He had looked everywhere but at her. during these past few minutes of silence. The deliberate way he avoided her eyes convinced her that she was right in believing he lied. Virginia said finally, "It thai the truth, Jim?" His eye« came to her. "The truth," he said. "Phil Lawrence and Steve Barron quarreled over the f ambling table in Barron's place in anta Bonita. Of course, I may be wrong. I'm repeating gossip. â- She considered him then said, "Why does Phil's n^iiie make • trangcly.'" "Does it?" "You know it does." "Really, Virginia, I fenagine â€" " "Nol" Her voice was * little high, "I don't imagine it. It's realâ€" a def iiiite change in their manner. 1 no- ticed it in you, and in Martha Beii- fon.

She shook har head definitely. "You weren't. You talked of Phil and me. Jim, why aren't you hontat with me?" He laughed shortly, and his eig- arette made a shower of sparkt aa he flipped it away. He rose and faced her. "Tomorrow I'm taking you to Phil Lawrence" he told her. "You can ask him all these questiona." She rose and itood before him, hating him for the paat and loving him a little becauac of k, too. Ht was tall and handsoma, hi« amilt giving him « world of charm. Hit nearness suddenly dlsconcertad her, and sh* breathed a silent prayer for her love for Phil. She didn't want to make a fool of haraelf over this man again. » ♦ » "I shall be glad for tomorrow," she said. "Good night, Jim. . . ." And she turned toward the door. "Virginia. ." His tone held her, brought her facing him again. She wished he wouldn't say her name just like that She waited silently. He said, "Every time we talk it's of Phil Lawrence. Sometimes I don't like that at all." "I'm sorry I bore you." His words came, a low whisper. "You don't bore me," he said. "On the contrary â€" " He reaclied for lier hands, and his touch made tlicin tremble. Virginia felt as she had when he walked into the hotel lobby at Lannasa, all her streiiRth leaving her. She possessed no will to resist him, and whe4i his hands went to lier shoulders and drew her (o liiiii she was pliant as clay lo be molded by his hands. Her hands went to his chest, but with no pressure in her arms to keep their bodies apart. He held her roughly against him, and she tiemhlcd while lie kissed iiei. In llie moment it took, her wetk- ness went and her will became her own again. .And the shame she felt drew ihe color from her face. She blamed herself more than him, for that was his way, and there should be nothing in her to want his kisses. She (hew away from him and could breathe again, hiii not in the same calm w-\\. " riiat's so very like you." she said heavily. "So very like you." "I'm sorry. Virginia." She looked at him wretchedly "Can'l yon see I've changed?" "Vou've grown lovelier, more de- sirable. I see that." "Iâ€" Oh, Jim, I don't want that." "I'm sorry," he said again. He turned, stepped down from the porch and strode away toward head ijiiarters. Virginia dared not enter Ihe house and face .Martha Benson's sharp and knowing eyes, h'or Martha wis al leady saying from within: "Was that lim Randall, Virginia?" A Guy'g Best Friend Is His Mom â€" Neither presence of human's or bars of a cage keep a certain Mrs. Robin from feeding her baby his formula on schedule. This baby bird (arrow) was rescued from a cat by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Eva, Jr., christened Lucky and housed in an old bird cage to retuperate. Every 15 minutes, from 6 a.m. to 6.30 p.m., the mother bird flies from her nest behind the Eva garage, through the open dining-room window, with a beak full of robin baby food for her young one. Through the distant gateway came a rider. Virginia knew at once that it was Steve Barron. He had i stiff but easy way of sitting on a horse that marked him from other men, Ht dismounted a little way off and came to the house on foot He was still dressed for the trail, coat- less, his trousers thrust into cowboy boots, a gun belt about his slim middle. He swept off his sotnbreru and came smilingly onto the porch. "I've come to say adios, Virginia," ht said "That is, unless there is some favor I can do." "There is a favor, Steve," slie told him. "If you will." "Anything." The way he said It was meant to convince her; there was eagerness in his voice. "What would you have me do? Attack Natchi's band singlehanded? Or bring you silver from the hillsâ€" ?" "You're laughing al mc," she said. "I thought you meant what you said." "I do mean what I said. I'm try- ing to say in a roundabout way thai I would do anything you asked" "Steve, you're inelodraiiiatic!" ♦ • • He laughed. "My mother was Mexican. Her father true Spanish. The Spanish. I'm told, are very gal lant toward beautiful ladies." "Now you flatter me." He shook his head in denial. "I think you are very beautiful, scnorita. But the favor, Virginia?" "It is not very much." she said. "Tell me about your quarrel with my fiance, Phil Lawrence." "So you heard? Did Lt. Randall â€"of course he did. Well, we did qua.rrel, Virginia. Your Phil has a passion for gambling. And I am a gambler. We played poker, and his hick wasn't running. He lost. After- ward, he drank a lot. He accused me oi being crooked." "Yes?'' Virginia said thinly. "What then?" "IMiat is all." Steve said. 'Phil Lawrence threatened to even mat- ters with me. I had to protect my- self. I had my men see him out of town. That is all. Our quarrel did not develop into gunplay." (Continued next wc'ek) THAT'S DIFFERENT Kind lady: My good man, are you looking for work?
