CHAPTER XVII

Sitting her quiet pony beside Dusty
Kings pile Of stone, Jody Gordon
saw Roper riding toward her when
he was, Still a long way off. Roper
was not alone Beside him rode
little grasshoppery figure in disrepu-
table clothes which Jody recognized
as that of Dry Camp Pierce. Some
how Dry Camp had managed to re-
join his chief when the others could
not. 1t was typical of Dry Camp
that he was riding beside Bill Roper
now; would always be typical, SO
long as both of them should live.
The two riders hesitated at the
five hundred yards. Roper said
something to Dry Camp Pierce and
after a moment or two Dry Camp
turned his horse and went back.
Bill Roper came on alone. Perhaps
he feared this meeting more than
anything he had ridden into yet-but
she knew he would not turn.
It. seemed to Jody Gordon that

INSTALLMENT 10
THE STORY so FAR:

Quoted series of great raids upon Thorpe's
vast herds, first in Texas, then in Montana.
Jody was deeply shaken when Marquita,
saloon hostess convincingly explained that
Roper loved Marquita. and not her. Be.
lieving that her love was unanswered, Jody
left the man she loved. Lew Gordon finally
old, without that sultry fire to back
it up. "Well, that wasn't 500
"You mean-you mean to say
"Wen," Marquita said, che did
not belong to me, not even for one
minute, in all my life. How do you
think you would like that, in my
placer"
"But-at the Lasham camp you
said
81 know / did. I would have got
him if I could, in any way I could.
I even came here because I knew
he was coming here But now l can
just as well tell you it's hopeless,
and I'm through. After all, ! don't
need to run after any man; not any
more"
"You mean-you're willing to let
him go-even if"
"Let him go? I never had him. ;"
An odd edge of contempt came into
Marquita's voice, but whether for
Jody or herself was not plain. Cant
you get that through your head?"
She turned toward the door impa-
tiently.
Jody Gordon supposed that she
ought to thank Marquita for having
come here, for having made the con-
fession which she had made, but
she was confused and the words
would not come. Instead she said,
"Do you know where he is? Is he
well? Is he safe and all right?"
Marquita's smile was hooking
"You want me to find him and send
him to your"
81 Think" Jody said, "he'n
come"
"Okay," Marquita said, and she
pulled open the door.
81 want to tell you something, :"
Jody said. II want to tell you I ap-
preciate-your letting me know"
Marquita flashed queer, hard
smile; there was bitterness in it,
more bitterness in her smile than in
her, words. keep your thanks to
yourself" Then she was gone.
After a moment Jody heard the
hoofs of a team, and the wheels of
the carriage in which Marquita had
come-and gone-slicing the deep
mud
Yet, Bill Roper did not come.
When two days had passed pan
ic caught Jody Gordon, and she be-
gan to haunt the vicinity of Dusty
Kings cross. She believed that Rop-
er would not leave the Ogallala
country without visiting once more
the grave of Dusty King.
But it was the evening of the
fourth day, before Roper came.

realized that Roper was right In fighting
Thorpe and Lasham. and went cunning for
them. Roper met him shortly before the
two gunner appeared. This was the mo-
ment Roper had been fighting for during the
smoky years. Lew Gordon was killed. but so
were Thorpe and Lasham.
time Jagged forever as Billy Roper's
pony slowly approached; it seemed
to her that that slow approach was
characteristic of all that had hap
pened to them-delay, and delay,
while wars were fought, and raids
struck in, all through those smoky
years in which they had been apart.
And yet, at last, when he stopped
his horse beside her, and they looked
at each other, there was something
between them still, as if the smoky
years themselves had built wall.
Bill Roper said, Hello, Jody.
You're looking mighty we'll"
Jody said, "I'm all right"
There was pause, curiously awk-
ward; in the pause, Jody's horse
struck at the cinch with hind foot,
tormented by an early fly.
"You didn't come to see me-"
Jody said
"Well," Bill Roper said slowly-"1
didn't know if you'd want me to-"
Don't you know that you're half
of King Gordon? And Pm the other
half"
"Jody-people like you and me
can't go by things like that-things
like legacies and wills"
Jody's voice was very quiet, yet
it must have seemed to Bill Roper
that she cried out. you're going
to leave me to carry all this, just
by MYSELF"
LEV Gordon left sound organi-
zation," Bill Roper said, his voice
dead. "You have many men, and
good men, too. The works will roll,
think, with Thorpe gone"
Once more the long, strangely
poignant silence. And to Jody it
seemed a terrible thing that what
they both wanted was the same
thing, and that yet the smoky years
somehow managed to stand be-
tween.
Jody Gordon turned away from
Bill Roper, and faced Dusty Kings
cross, clean-limbed and slender,
and there was something in her face
that was enduring. 1t was the face
of woman who turned to the future
without trace of doubt or fear; and
she was the loveliest thing that Bill
Roper would ever see
"Jody," Bill Roper said uncertain
ly, 81 want to tell you something.
Other men will have to fight other
wars; but my part of all that is fin
ished. I'm not sorry my gun is
hung up. 1 hope it's hung up for
ever. Once I thought that when
Thorpe was smashed, my work
would be throughput now I see
it's only begun. l think we're going
to build something pretty fine, if
you'll stay by me-"
Jody smiled little Without TAX
ing her eyes from the cross she
reached her hand toward him, and
took his.
"All the anger and the hate has
gone out of me-" Roper said; land
if you can only some day under
stand that my riding with the wild
bunch was-was what had to do"
He fumbled for words, and
stopped.
"Give me your knife" Jody said.
| "My-ny What?''
She turned, and herself drew his
skinning knife from the sheath at
his belt. Then she stepped to the
ground.
"In JUSTICE" Jody said; Gin JUS
tice, and in memory of courage"
With her own hands she cut the
third notch upon the cross, deep and
clean.

to the heart of a boy. And, for a
boy filled with the adventures OF
Long John Silver and the deep blue

chest may we'll prove to be the in
spiration he needs for keeping his
room tidy.
Available in a variety of different

occurs when these things are left
where moths can attack them.

Combines Cabbage
And Green Peas

Unusual vegetable combinations
are found on the table of many of
the bayou plantations. Green peas
and cabbage-with a carrot or two
for lagniappe or good measure-form
one of these combinations.
The dish is at its best when fresh
peas are used, but it may be served
with canned peas.
l can large peas or
2 cups shelled green peas.
Il head firm white cabbage.
2 carrots.
2 tablespoons butter.
! cup ConsoNme (canned may be
used, salt and pepper to taste.
If you use fresh peas shell and
soak in cold water for a few min
uteS. If canned peas are used, SIM
ply drain liquor. Cut up the cab
bage into small cubes and soak for
Is minutes in cold, salted water. Pare
and cube the carrots.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and
put the carrots and cabbage to cook
over a slow fire for Is minutes, but
do not let them brown. Add the
consomme and the fresh peas and
cook for 20 minutes, seasoning well
and stirring frequently. If canned
peas are used add them 10 minutes
before taking cabbage and carrots
from fire.
The liquid will be cooked down
considerably by the time the vege-
tables are done.

My Neighbor Soys:

If you're unlucky enough to
get a black eye. the best thing
to do with beefsteak is to eat
it, and apply a cold compress
to the eye. Anything cool and
moist will reduce the swelling
of the sinner, and congresses
cost less than beefsteak.
To make cheesy canapes to
serve with cocktails, try this:
Spread thinly-rolled pie crust
with equal portions of sharp
and pimiento cheese. Roll up
like tiny pinwheels. Cut off
quarter-inch siiees and bake
them, fiat, for five minutes in
a moderate oven. They are
good warm or cold.

Golden Bantam! The So-Called
Golden Bantam of this modern age
has been crossed with the white
Evergreen variety TO increase its
size-and big mistake, think.
Cantaballs-the result of crossing
cantaloupes with honeyballs - are
here from Arizona. I haven't tried
them yet, but am told they have
delicious fiavor-mostly cantaloupe.
All right-but why not Just stick to
producing the best favored canta-
loupes? Watermelons are good,
honeydews excellent. Hawaiian"
pineapple, grown in Florida. are
also on the must" list; they are Of
the true sugar-loaf type, and won-
derfully sweet. Kelsey plums, re-
ferred to by the dealers as green
cages (and if these aren't honest
to-goodness Kelseys Ill eat one,
stone and alb, are competing with
the juicy Santa Rosas for public
favor. Apricots have enjoyed
mighty poor season, but peaches
are simply wonderful this year.
Freestones from Georgia are at
their peak just now. GooSeberries,
red currants, raspberrieS, blackber-
ries, huckleberries and blueberries
are lavishly displayed. (How about
a gooseberry tart, or that old English
favorite, gooseberry fool?) Seedless
grapes from California are getting
sWeeter and come in nicely shaped
punches, which makes their cool
green tranSlucency useful in table
decoration. There are few Bing
cherries seen here and there, but
they are few and far between, with
the cherry season almost over for
this year.
Frying and broiling chickens are
plentiful, and not expensive. There
are some very good steWlng chickens
available, too, for the inevitable
chicken salad. Don't forget to keep
the stock to make real jellied
chicken soup with a flavor that
can't be beat. If you will drop an
herb bunch, or add one or two
onions, carrot, some parsley and
a stalk of celery to the broth while
the chicken is cooking it will make
the soup even better. Lamb in some
markets is high, but In others it is
being featured at most attractive
prices, as are steaks, chuck roaSts
and some cuts of veal. If cold cuts
appeal to you, but seem too expen-
sive for a large household, cook a
ham an6 q tnpO1la yoJ1rSelf chill
them, and keep them for slicing in
the refrigerator.
Plenty of fish is to be found, in
Guiding salmon, halibut and sword
fish among the larger varieties.
Bonito mackerel is especially good,
now Pan fish" featured in most
markets are perch, spots and croak-
ers. This is the height of the frog
leg season, and the chicken-like
delicacy is plentiful and reasonable.
CLANS, Holsters, crabs and shrimp
abound. There are soft shell crabs
to be had, but they have been some
what scarce of late.
One dealer said to me while I was
going the rounds, "Oh, there isn't
anything to get excited about in the
food line. Nothing worth writing
about. There's plenty of everything
for everybody" Maybe I'm wrong
but when I think of the ration
cards on the other side of the water,
feel that we have got something to
get excited about-and give thanks
