| caravan of thunderheads in the
west; the drumming of insects and
the humid, flower smell of the air
presaged rain. On grassy hill
top ten miles eastward from the
Castle, Autumn dismounted from her
horse and let the animal Craze while
she stood and looked into the valley
below.
On the slopes that streamed into
the valley like smooth reddish cas-
cades in the low sun, more than
seven thousand head of sheep moved
in bands, twelve hundred to a band.
At dawn the herders had started
them from home on the trek up into
the mountains to the very margins
of the eternal SHOWS, in the relent-
less, lonely quest for grass.
Now, from the hillside directly OPP
posite her across the little valley,
a crows flight haf-mile away, came
the impidly sweet note of a bell.
It seemed to Autumn that the sound
was almost visible, floating like
some silver bubble within that rosy
dome of silence, lingering and van
ishing into the infinity whence it had
come.
It was the note of the Basque bell.
A fancy had seized her that morn
ing while she had watched her ia
theirs men preparing for their de-
parture. Only a week before, there
had come to the ranch a youth of
nineteen or twenty whose appear
ance had been so bizarre that the
Willmar children had gathered
around him with frank curiosity. He
had come from the soda mines up
north, and was seeking employment
as herder. He was slight of build,
not over medium height, and on the
back of his head he had worn a
shapeless homespun cap, set so that
a twine-colored mop of hair started
out abruptly from beneath its peak.
He had worn a short, tight-ftting
coat, a jerkin, Autumn had supposed
it was, also homespun and of a faded
pea-green, so incommodious in the
sleeves that the red joints of his
wrists stuck painfully out from be-
meath them. Under the jacket he
had worn a checked shirt and where
the jacket gaped aside, suspenders
of brilliant green drew his thread
bare trousers almost up to his arm
pits, leaving his bare shins exposed.
He had worn hobnailed boots, and
had carried a birch stick over his
shoulder, at the end of which a gray
bundle had been securely dashed.
The Laird out of the kindness of
his heart, and probably a whimsi-
cal humor, had given him employ
ment as old Absolom's helper. His
name, they had discovered, was
Clancy Shane, but Jarvis Dean had
jocularly nicknamed him ''Moony."
On sudden impulse, Autumn had
gone back into the house and
brought out the Basque bell. She
had entrusted it to the keeping of
Clancy Shane, who had secured it
to the wether of his flock. And now,
from the opposite hillside, came the
pure sound of the bell, singularly in
nocent across the hollow distance.
The sound turned her thoughts
again to Bruce Lander, who had
scarcely been out of her mind dur

What America really needs is
Morris chair brought up to date.
Because in this genial old chair you
get good sitting with a minimum of
weight and bulk and at a reason
able cost. No wonder it's still
grandfather favorite.
Until the manufacturers wake up
to the fact that the old Morris chair
is a sound basic design that would
accede pleasantly to the demands of
either modern or provincial design,
there are lot of homes that will
be putting fresh cover on the old
one and making it do. And you'd
be surprised how Unexpectedly pass
able it can be!
A family we know, who have more
energy and ambition than money,
has just completed the regeneration
of a living room, and the result is
good news for anybody who is fur
nishing on budget and who must
do a lot of the work. That way the
money available for refurbishing
could all go to buying new things
that would really make a difference.

as his own eight-year-old, and to
look upon salads as mere woman's
nonsense! 1t isn't strange, if Jun
ior, who adores his Dad, begins to
proclaim his likes and dislikes in
no uncertain terms. Like father,
like son! So coax father to keep his,
''I-don' t-likes" to himself-at meal
time.
But there are salads and vegeta-
bles that father really enjoys. You'll
find suggestions in my booklet,
Feeding Father" for preparing
them, and recipes, too, for his IA
vorite meat dishes and desserts.
But to get back to vegetables,
have you ever wondered why the
very people who love to nibble on
raw carrot, fresh from the garden,
are the ones who need to be coaxed
to eat them once they're cooked?
You'll find one solution to the prob
lem of getting Dad and Junior to
eat their carrots, right there. Why
not serve them crisp, raw carrot
sticks for a vegetable? Or make
crisp, colorful salad by combining
shredded raw carrots and shredded
raw beets with the tender young
leaves of raw spinach? Mix lightly
with sour cream salad dressing or
french dressing, and serve from a
salad bowl so that the boys may
help themselves.
Perhaps just changing the meth
DDS of preparing and serving them is
all you need to do to arouse family
interest in vegetables. Here are
some recipes that are just bit out

Caroline and Mary DeZurik, the
two sisters whom you often hear on
the National Barn Dance program,
just happened into becoming sing
ers. They lived on a farm in Royal

ing as they did the homework, and
Mary Jane picked up a guitar that
her brother had recently bought and
began plunking on it as an accom-
paniment.
They found that they sang well
together, and stuck to it. A short
time later they won an amateur
contest in ROyalton, and were sent
to st. Cloud, Mimi, to enter an
other contest. 1t was there that
radio talent scouts heard them and
started them on their way. Caroline
was just Is then, and Mary Jane
was two years older. Now they are
both expert guitar players, though
it's Mary Jane who plays when
they sing on the air.
When Charles Laughton was a
guest recently on the 'tScreep Guild

and startled Producer Joe Hill by
memorizing his script. Hill wouldn't
believe that he had done it, which
seems odd, in view of the fact that
Laughton has been on the stage
and in the movies for years. Just
to humor the producer, Laughton
brought the script to the broadcast
with him and referred to it once.

HOLLYWOOD - on q ranch across
the river from the Warner Studio,
THE Fighting 69th' Is training for
war-that last war, the one that
was expected to make the world
safe for democracy.
The picture Is named for the
famous New York City regiment
and places considerable emphasis
on the character and influence OF
the late Father Francis p, Duffy,
beloved chaplain Of the OUTFIT. Also
II tells the story OF fictional char
acter, played by Jimmy Cagney, who
Is tough as nails In training camp,
but yellow as ochre In battle.
More than likely, the Aim will
turn out to be quite o preachment
against war.
Jeffrey Lynn has the important
role OF Joyce Kilmer, the poet who
died In action with the Goth In
France. Norman Reilly Raine, chief
writer OF the story, has penned q
death scene for Kilmer, solaced IN
his last moments by Father DUFFY
(Pat O'Brien), that Is calculated to
twang O poignant requiem on the
heartstrings Of the customers.
Right now, In the fiicker's early
stages, they're shooting scenes OF
the regiments training at Camp
Mills, on Long Island. A large Sec
ton OF the camp has been recreat-
ed, and you can see companies OF
Hollywood soldiery going close-order
drill, lining up for mess, skirmish-
through the nearby woods. and
