IF SPRING is not in the air yet
1 it 500 will be. It is the season
when every room in the house
seems to need a lift. If your
couch or daybed looks as though
it has had a hard Winter now is
the time to give it a thought.
The couch of the type shown
here may be made to fit into al
most any decorating scheme if it
has a smart and appropriate COW
er. The one shown here is ideal
for a room with modern furniture
or for one that follows no particu-
lar period. It would also give an
interesting accent in a Colonial or
provincial room. The cushions
match the couch cover. A rough
ly woven navy blue cotton mate
rial is used and the seamlines are
outlined with heavy cream colored
cable cord. If you would like a
gayer color scheme, use red cord
with navy blue. Cream or yellow
cord with brown material also
makes an attractive cover.
A curved candlewick tufting
needle such as is shown here at
the lower right is good to use for
sewing the cord in place. Thread
about size 8 or 10 to match the
cord should be used. The needle
shown is really a medium size YER
sion of an upholsterer's needle
which is another piece of sewing
equipment that you will find USE
full if you like to renovate old fur
niture.
So often mystifying technical
details stand in the way Of max
ing things that would add beauty
and comfort to your home. 1t is
with this in mind that Mrs. Spears
wrote and illustrated her book.

Headquarters Has Been Restored

Rockingham, the rambling 10
room Colonial house, where Gen.
eral George Washington received
word of the treaty of Paris that

been completely renovated while
the two-acre plot on which it stands
has been Handicapped to enhance the
natural beauty of the spot.
Sheltering many historic relics
and documents, Rockingham is
stepped in the history of significant
days of the Revolution. It was here
in the "blue room" that General

his correspondence with Governor
Clinton concerning the evacuation
of New York city by British troops.
On the long, double-decked YER

delivered his farewell address to a
handful of troops retained at what

self to the saddle again, Ruth rode
back to the spot of the encounter.
Her heart was beating wildly. She
had shot a man. Perhaps she had
killed him.
He was climbing the rubble slope
to the bank where she had first seer
him, and he was making bad going
of it. One leg dragged.
She stopped in the bottom of the
trough below him.
"It's your W fault for snatching
at my bridle," she told him.
He said, with cool effrontery,
"You did almost as bad a job as I
did at Tail Holt"
1.-THE gun went off,"
my leg is telling me that. Did
you come back to finish what you
began?"

pleasantly.
"Are you hurt-badly?"
He saw she was frightened. The
bark of the revolver had for the
time driven away anger.

swered.
as your horse back there in the
brush?"
"You can tell yore father it's even
steven now" he drawled.
She swung down from Blue Chip
and climbed the bank. "I'll help
you get up" she told him in a
small voice.
Good of you, Miss chiswick, to
help a hired killer"
He accepted her aid. After a
struggle, during which the wounded
leg collapsed under him once or
twice, they reached the top of the
bank.
Gray whistled. Out of the brush
trotted a long-barreled roam.
where are you going? Who will
look after your leg?" Ruth asked.
I'm wondering about that" he
said.
"You can't go back to Tail Holt,
unless you are Sherm Towards
man."
Tail Holt is out"
Ruth thought swiftly. She dared
not take him to the ranch-house,
especially now that her father was
holding himself u%nfriendly to her.
How serious the wound was she did
not know, but he could not let him
try to ride as far as Tough Nut.
He might never reach the town. An

CHAPTER w

Turning to Ruth, Sorley said, II
don't know where he got this wound
or anything about him, be CORY,
but what I say, is that if he's the
bird shot at the old man at Tail
Holt I'll see him in Jericho before
I'll let him stay here. He can put
that in his pipe and smoke it, be-
dad"
Ruth nodded. II know how you
feel, Pat, because that's the way I
feel myself"
whats to keep this buckaroo,
soon az his leg gets a little better,
from going up to the ranch some
night and taking another crack at
your dad?"
THAT'S what I'm afraid Of" she
admitted.
jeff Gray sat on a homemade
chair with his wounded leg resting
on another. He volunteered no as
surances of good behavior.
"Looky here, Miss Ruth" Pat
urged, wed ought to tell Lee or
one of the boys he is here, espe-
cially if you are sure he's the fel-
low you think he is"
II know" Ruth's face wore a
troubled frown. "Only I shot
him."
Pat dropped his pipe to the floor.
1t shattered into fifty bits. 1.-THE

II don't know how it happened.
Blue Chip vas jumping around, and
he got in the way. I didn't mean to

Gray suggested.
"What was the fellow doing
around here?" Pat asked accusing
ly.
II was on my way to the L c."
explained Gray. WANTED to have a
little talk with Chiswick."
Wanted to shoot him, you vii
lain"
"I'm one of these victims of cir
cumstantial evidence" the crook
nosed man drawled. Someone
takes a crack at Chiswick, and I'm
unanimously elected as the guy"
"We saw you do it-half a dozen
of u.s." Ruth cried.
"Just what did you see?" the &C.
cused man asked.
"After you had shot you ran for

men there fred at you and drove

aside impatiently with a wave of
the hand. "All is, you're a liar

wolf you are"
Use yore brains, GIRL" he urged.
-Four men were standing within ten
feet of yore father. If I had shot
him, would I run up and give them
all a crack at me?"
1.-THE answer is, you did. Three
of them were friends of Sherm How

in her. "I'm not going to discuss

dered, and gave Blue Chip a touch
of the spur.
The horse went up in the air.
Gray caught the bride, perhaps to
quiet the animal, perhaps because
he could not get out of the way.
Ruth never knew how it hap
pened. The revolver in her hand
went off. Instantly she knew the
man had been hit. He dropped the
rein and staggered back. Blue Chip
plunged down the arroyo.
The rider of the horse dragged it
to a halt and turned. She had
dropped the gun during the wild
dash down the draw and she dis
mounted to recover it. Pulling her.
