CHAPTER xI
BY Heck Keeps a Secret.

When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour,
Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the 81
lence. 1t was great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the Dorth end
Of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming of a yell
1l0whapmer, not even the saucy chat
tering Of boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering of a bird. Not leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
yifeless. 1t was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant of the world.
Then she thought. 1t was noontime
and the officer and his prisoner would
doubtless halt at John Moreland's
cabin for the MONDAY NEAL and if
she FASTENED she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
So she ran like doe through the
green woodland, through the tangle OF
laurel and Ivy and over the moss
covered stones, across shoulder of
David Morelands mountain. She was
barefooted, and her dress was a SIM
pie garment Of white-d0tted blue
calico, and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair of young
witch-because of the excitement Of
the morning. she had forgotten to give
it its usual daily plating.
AS she drew near to the Moreland
leaders home, she saw Bill Dale and
the sheriff walk out at the gateway
and mount their horses. Major Brad
ley came out, and he, too, mounted his
horse; and she was glad that he was
going along. There was great crowd;
all the Littlefords were there, and all
the Morelands, and old Granny Heck
the fortune-teIler. On every face Babe
saw signs Of sympathy and sorrow.
Her eyes filed. She was SO glad that
they, too, loved him. 1t was worth go
ing to jail to know that one was loved
like that Not that it didn't hurt to
see him going to jail, Of course. Jail
and horror are words that mean the
same to the mountain dweller.
She went on to tell him good-by.
She knew 1t would be hard, but she
eteeIed herself; she would be Little
ford, and strong. He saw her coming,
and he turned his bay horse and rode
to meet her. She stopped and clasped
her hands, with her arms down full
length, and tried to smile at him.

Granny Heck became so angry that
she trembled. To her, baffied curiosity
was but little better Than torture.

BY Heck looked toward some -feecy
white clouds that were sailing slowly,
like ships Of silver and pearl In a
sunny cerulean sea, over the rugged
crest Of the majestic Big pine.

day in training boys for good citi- zenship.
 Twelve years ago an untried idea here. Today a system of boy hood organized for civic service, looked to by state and city govern ments to perform definite duties of 8 serious character in forest preservation, combating epidemics, gathering accurate data on civic conditions for use of authorities, and the dissemination of informa- tion.
 Twelve years ago an idea. To- day a thoroughly organized, eX- pertly-led program of outdoor and indoor activities and studies that are the delight of boyhood, giving natural and wholesome expres- sion to boy impulses and energies, making him one with Nature through hikes and camping, pre- pairing him to face dangers and to meet emergencies, to save life and to care for the injured, developing lis abilities to do things for him self and others, increasing his power and desire to serve, and making him ambitious to occupy a place of honor and usefulness in his community and in the na- tion as a good citizen.

DAINTY ACCESSORIES.


 It is remarkable the difference that a few inexpensive accessories to the costume will make. It isn't only be- cause these few little things smarter up the costume. They smarter up the woman herself. The girl who is inclined to be pallid and nondescript simply cannot afford to neglect these little essentials. They will make all the difference in her appearance.
 First of all there is the hat, which simply must be becoming. It need not be expensive. Cheap hats are fre- quently as becoming as costly ones, but it must have the right lines for thS head and face, and 1t must be the right sort of color. If you have any doubt about your own ability in choosing hats buy small black toques, silk velvet in winter and taffeta or straw in summer, then you cannot go wrong.
 The next important item is neck wear, which should never be fussy and which should always be spotlessly fresh. The neckwear should be white unless you are very saIlow. in which case a soft cream will set off your face to greater advantage.
 Then there are gloves and shoes. Never wear soiIed white gloves. Moth ing will spoil the appearance of an entire costume like a soiled glove, and nothing will redeem it as readily as an immaculate one. The same rule applies to footwear, which need not be smart but must look well cared for.
 In fact that is the whole secret of looking well. If you give the impress sion of taking good care of yourself you will always look well dressed, and will probably be considered good looking.
 Areeta:-YOu will always take a risk on injur1ng the hair if you resort to dyes. The bust measure is usually ten inches more than that of the waist, but with very young girls if the bust measure is more or even less than this, it merely means they have not attained their proportions.
 Phil:-Consu1t your doctor about the stuttering as you probably need special treatment for it.

Split Pea Soup-One cup dried split peas, two and one-half quarts cold water, one pint nilk( scalded), one onion, one carrot, one-haIf cup chop ped celery, three tablespoons butter, two tab1espo oons salt, one-eighth tea spoon pepper, two inch cubes of fat salt pork or bacon.

Add pork. vegetables and salt and simmer three or four hours or until tender. Rub through a coarse strainer, add butter and flour, rubbed together until smooth, and season to taste. Add enough scaldeo milk to dilute to the desired consis- tency A ham shank may be used instead of the pork or bacon.
 Hot Pot-One pound beef, cheap cut, two cups potatoes, diced raw; one cup carrots, cut in cubes; one cup onions, one teaspoon salt, one-quarter teaspoon pepper.
 Cook meat slowly in water to cover. When tender allow it to cool, cut into small pieces. Add vegetables and sea sonings. Place in baking dish, cover with gravy made from the broth.

their duty to God and country, to keep themselves physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight" and to be for all their boyhood days and to the end, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friend- 1y, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
 This is the movement con- ducted by the Boy Scouts of America as seen by leaders of church and state, school and busi- ness. In the twelve years that have passed, over 100000 boys have subscribed to the Scout Oath and Law. Upwards of a half million men have received the benefit that comes to men who give their services as scoutmasters and in other leadership capacities to this movement. It's attraction to boys has steadily increased through these years, and today there are known to be hundreds of thou sands of boys who wish to be- come scouts but must wait upon leadership.
 In these twelve years the Boy Scouts of America have given to our country many things of permanent and inestimable value. As a birthday gift to the move nent it asks the gift of service to the nations boyhood, by men.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband and I have been married going on twenty-seven years and l always had the utmost faith in him, but have been told that had too much confidence in him, but I would not believe it. Now he is infatuated with another woman and admits it, but says he does not think as much of her as he does of me. Judging by his actions toward her 1t is hard for me to believe him I love him dearly, but I am very mis- erable. We have two boys and two girls grown. Please advise me.
 ASKING FOR HELP.
 There Is so much to consider in problem like yours If you and your husband separate. you will be the tar get for gissip. Also if you remain to- gether his infatuation for the other woman will De a subject for discus sion. but fewer people will know about it.
 It seems to me it would be advis- able to offer your husband his free dom Say that you are perfectly will ing to divorce him. but you are not willing to remain his wife when he has a sweetheart. Do not give the impression that you are trying to hold him. When he sees you are offering him his freedom I believe he will no longer want it and will value you more than ever.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with a boy for about three years I am still in my teens. I really love tfis boy and think he loves me, but he tells me one thing. and does another. I have 4ui' him several times but the love we have had for each other brought us back together. He has been going with me and ny friend, too I told him about 1t ana he says he doesn't care for her.
 He says I go on peoples talk. I have until last week when I saw her with him. I really love him and 1t hurts me to my heart to think he acts that way. What should I do?
 know he must care for me be- cause when he is with her and I am with another boy he comes over to me as soon as he can. Do you think he really loves me?
 SUNsHINE
 think you are looking for too much when you expect the boy to really love you. Reu1ember that both of you are very young and it will probably be several years before you are in a position to marry. Let the boy feel free to have O. her girl friends and go with other boys yourself.
 Probably the boy acts as he does because he thinks of good time and
