"! â€" I am xlad I am not sfay- inj? lone." Sarah Warden's wistfuJ eyes were on licr. She seemed to be trying to give her some warning. "Steve Barron is a strange man. There is no uiulcr'tanding him. He lias been kind to me." She smiled thinly. "He calls me mother. I like him, but if I had a daughter " Virginia looked at her squarely. "You are trying to tell me some- thing?" "Xo .... It is none of my busi- ness.'' X'irguiia lauglied pleasantly. "I've come to meet the man I am to marry," she said. "Neither Jim Randall or Steve Barron can mean anj'thing to me. Phil Lawrence is my world. I " She caught the older woman's sharp, startled look. "You are to marry Phil Lawrence?" "Yes." Virginia herself was •tartled. Phil's name always causeil • tension in people. It frightened her as much as mystified her. She said, "Mrs. Warden, what is ther about Phil Lawrence that makes everyone stare? What do you know about him"'" Sarah Warden shook her gray head. "I know nothing about him," she said earnestly. "I do not know him at all." "But you have heard something?" "I have heard only that he^ had trouble with Steve Barron â€" end that is always bad." It was while they were putting away the supper things that a soft knock sounded on he kitchen door. The door opened instantly, and a girl stepped in. She was laughing. Warden was not alone, her laugh- ter died abruptly away. * ♦ ♦ She was a dark girl, pretty and more, and she was in years no old- er than Virginia. But there was an oldness about her, and her wide brown eye's held a knowledge that had nothing to do with her years Sarah Warden turned from her dishwashing. "Come in, Lanya," slio said warmly. "I'm glad to sec you." Then: "Miss Ames, this i- Lanya Correy." Virginia smiled and murmured n greeting. The dark girl merely gav<- an unsmiling nod. Tlien Sarah War den added, and it seemed to \'ir ginia, unnecessary. "Miss Ames has come to visit lici fiance. She is to marry Phil Law lence." Unmistakably, surprise sprea.l over Lanya's pretty face. She look ed at Virginia with widened eyes She compressed her lip^ then wa-- suddenly smiling. "I'm very glad to know you. Mi.ss Ames," she said. Then to Sarah Warden: "1 must hurry. I'll com. back â€" tomorrow." As she turned to go Virginia sa« something that gave her a start. She said as she turned to dry the dishes. "Is she the dan<;e hall girl?" The older woman's voice was de fensive. "Yes Hut Lanya's a good girl. She's just unfortunate, Shr sings in the dance hall. Rut men don't bother her. Steve Barron sees to that. He brought her fron. Tus- con about six month' au). and gavf her a job . . ." * Her voice trailed away, and Vir ginia didn't ask more. She knew enough about Lanya Correy. The girl must know many men. . . . Rut It didn't matter, really. didn'i matter which of them gave her the canico pin she was wearing on hei rather itaiidy ilresi ISSUE 31 â€" 1949 CHAPTER VII. After two days of search for the Lannasa stage bandits, Jira Randall sent his detail of eight troopers back to the post under command of Sgt. O'Hara. He swung east to Lannasa with Mel Scarlett, and there talked with the stage driver and guard. The information he received took him to the Lucky Dollar saloon. A certain character, Pete Saba, was letting gold dollars run through his fingers like water through a trough. And he was not the sort of hombre that usually had money. Too, he was a ringer for one of the bandit trio. Pete Saba had been drinking heavily. He was at the bar when Jim and Mel Scarlett stepped into the saloon. He had paid for his drinks with a $10 gold piece. * * * Jim strode up to the man and said sharply, Saba!" The man turned slowly. Fear sprang alive in his eyes, then van- ished. He moistened his lips, then grinned crookedlv. "Well, soldier?" "You're under arrest, Saba." "Yeah? What for?" "For holding up the Lannasa stage, Come along. I'm taking you to Fort Winfield." Jim watched him sharply. He saw a hint of resistance in the black eyes which warned him of what was to come. He was ready when Saba's hand streaked toward his gun-butt. Jim had placed himself close enough and he quickly reached out and closed his left hand over Saba's right wri.st. His right arm lashed upward and his fist struck the outlaw on the point of the chin. Saba was flung back against the bar, and he hung there motionless for a mo- ment, his face working and his eyes full of hate. Jim, still holding his hand away from the gun-butt, reached over with his right hand and took possession of the weapon. "Come along Saba," he ordered. Saba's voice was thick. "All right, soldier. All right." Mel Scarlett was watching the crowd with bright eyes and a hand on his gun. Rut no man interfered. They hustled Pete Saba from the saloon and onto his horse and rode at a fast pace for two hours until the sun had sweated the whiskey out of him. (Continued Next Week) ANN£ HIRST "They say that people don't learn by e.xpcricnce, Anne Hirst," writes a mother. "I am about to become a mother-in-law, and you can put me down as one who Igarned her les- son that way â€" and a heart- breaking experi- ence it was! "1 intend to w e 1 c o m e mv son's fiancee as though she were the girl I ha.l picked out for him (she isn't). "My marriage to my husband so many years ago was a disappoint- ment to his mother. She hardly knew me at all, and she made it very clear that slie had expected her son to marry the daughter of an old friend I was put on the defensive immediately â€" and 1 was stuck there until slie passed on. "I vowed then 4v â- ( ^v^*" '' child of mine got married, I would be the kind of mother-in-law you don't read about. Makes The Best of it "My boy got engaged a few years ago to a flashy girl who ran him down 'til she landed him. She had nothing but physical attraction and I suppose he was having grow- ing pains. I was horrified at the idea of their marriage. But I had her as my guest time after time â€" until (by comparison, I suppose) he saw her as she was. • "When I think what he escaped, I could welcome almost anybody as his wife! "This girl he is to marry is nice enough so far as background and disposition are concerned. She has been spoiled, though â€" she doesn't know the first thing about cooking or keeping house. But, bless her, she knows she doesn't know, and she comes to our house every oblier evening and I am teaching her. "They are very much in love, but she is not blind to my son's faults. Those she hasn't discovered, I've told her about. We talk about him freely â€" and we talk as though we were the same age. I cannot help believing they will have a bet ter marriage than I've had. "His father offered them a home with us, but I persuaded him to give them a check instead. I have given the girl a sum to help furnish the small apartment they have rinfcd 'â€" and I've refused to go along to help select it I I think they should do that themselves make their own mistakes if they must, but learn that way. "We. have decided not to have any special night for seeing each other. They will come here to din- ner wlien they like, we shall not go there jinless specifically invited. Sundays, I insist they have to them- selves. We intend to let them alone ... it will be lonely for his father and me â€" hut after all, my one aim for years has been to see my boy married to a nice girl who loves him. Now I have that certainty, and I am more than content â€" I am grateful.

Hampton pf 156 Gowan Avenue, Toronto, could think to say recently when she was handed a cheque for $5,000 as first prize in a contest sponsored by Canada Starch Company Ltd. The award was made personally at Mrs. Hampton's home by Mr. G. F. Benson, Jr., president of Canada Starch, who re- vealed that Mrs. Hampton's entry was chosen from over 100.000 entries. Mrs. Hampton said that when she first wrot^i her letter giv- ing three reasons why she likes Crown Brand Corn Syrup, she never really believed she would win. However, it provided the family with something to dream about, and the money has been spent many times over in their imaginations. However, these things are sure to be bought in actual fact. Eleven-year-old Mary will get a bicycle; eight-year-old Jimmy wants a crokinole board and checkers ; Jean and Joan, five-year- old twins, will receive tricycles. Mrs. Hampton says the whole family is going to have a good holiday at a summer cottage. * TABLE TALKS Not long ago, in a group talking of cooking and good things to eat, the word "flummery" came up, and four out of five of those present didn't know that there was such a tiling. Naturally, none of them were of Welsh descent, as the word "flum- mery" comes, originally, from Wales; but for all that, it's a des- sert that has been popular with many generations on thi« side of the water as \rei\. It looks like a rich, translucent jelly; is easily made, suitable for young and old, and isn't at all ex- pensive, especially for a family lucky enough to have a berry patch. So, on the chance that some of you will be interested, here's a recipe that will serve five or six, with BLACKBERRY FLUMMERY 2 cups blackberry juic« (from cooked, fresh berries or canned berries) % cup of sugar (If juic* ia un- sweetened) 2 tablespoons cornstarch yi teaspoon salt . 2 tablespoons lemon juic*. METHOD: Heat the berry juice in a double boiler. Mix sugar, corn- starch and salt together, then add to the juice, stirring until the mix- tu-re thickens. Cover and cook for from 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from stove, add lemon juice, beat well and pour into molds or a serving dish. Chill before serving. Flummery may be served with either whipped or plain cream. If thin cream is used, add it at the table rather than in ad- vance as the flummery is sufficient- ly tart to curdle cream that stands on it long. • i A more economical use of the fruit is by making this dessert of whole berries, rather than ju»t the juice. Use two cups of cooked and crushed berries with their juice; three tablespoons of cornstarch; add •ugar and lemon juice as desired. Cook over hot water, covered, for 20 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and pour into molds. Chill be- fore serving.
