squelched 'em summarily and

CHAPTER XIX

When Barbara Trumbull and her
father came in, they came by plane.
What prompted that return was, of
course, unknown to me.
But / was more worried, at the
time, by Sock-Eye's abrupt disap-
pearance. The bullheaded old gun
tanner had possessed himself of two
pack mules, which he hid in the
hills beyond Knik Glacier and loaded
down with grub and equipment and
three cases Of dynamite. Rumor had
it that S'lary Bryson had not only
been his go-between during those
preparations but had been his COM
panion and trail mate on his first
days travel out through the hills.
And after that the silence had swal-
lowed him up.
When / went to the Bryson shack,
to CLEAN a little more light on the
matter, I found Sam alone there,
alone and singular1y acid-spirited.
But when I questioned if Sock-Eye
wasn't too old and erratic-minded
for lone-fire prospecting like that
he refused to share in my fears.

You've chance to conquer this last
frontier and make happy homes

But the envious rabble-rouser at
my side had no intention, obviously,
of surrendering the stage to an
outsider. There was shout Of
laughter as I was unceremoniously
bumped off the porch end.
Don't listen to this kid-tamer,"
I could hear Ericsson shouting as I
gathered myself up. "She can't
pull that kindergarten stuff with men
like us who know our own minds.
And know, as well, that she's the
private pastry of that imported col
lege-dude engineer who's trying"
And that, still again, was as far
as Eric the Red got.
His speech was cut short by a
bullet that splintered the porch post
within ten inches of his head. Be-
fore he could recover from his aston
ishment at that interruption a Sec
ond bullet cut through the crown Of
his hat and buried itself in the wood
work behind him. ..
I glanced back, at that. second
shot, and caught sight Of Sock-Eye
standing just beyond the outer fringe
Of the crowd.
'Grab that old fool" someone
cried. 'tHe's drunk"
Drunk, am II" he croaked as he
advanced slowly toward the porch
end, the clustered bodies making
way for him as he SO threateningly
moved forward. "Mebbe ] am; but
I'm still sober enough T. scotch q
two-legged snake"
The only person who didn't fall
back was Ericsson. ! don't know
whether it was courage, or whether
it was hopelessness. But he re-
manned there at the porch end,
white-faced and motionless, with his
narrowed eyes on the swaying old
timer.
Sock-Eye took three slow steps to-
ward him.
''Now dance high, tenderfoot," he
suddenly barked out. And with equal
abruptness the two poised pistols re-
peated that bark, sp1intering the
porch floor at Ericson's feet.
Ericsson didn't exactly dance. His
Reinforcement, as a third bullet
nipped the toe of his foot, must have
been largely an involuntary one. But
his repeated movement, as another
bullet cut into the sole-edge of his
other boot, might have been inter-
preted as a none too happy dance
step. And that was repeated until
he stood with his back against the
porch post.
When he suddenly holstered one
of his revolvers and jerked out his
sheath knife ! thought, for a dread
full second or two, that the old fire.

That was as much as ! heard. For
a wave Of resentment went through
my body and rang a little bell some
where at the back Of my brain. I
found myself clambering up on the
porch beside the momentarily ST.
fenced Ericsson.
"Wait minute" I heard my own
voice shouting above the jeers and
the derisive laughter my over-abrupt
eruption gave birth to. 81 want to

eaIer was so far forgetting h1mSen
as to disembowel helpless enemy.
But could see, when it was all over,
that the flashing knife blade had
merely severed Ericson's belt and
slashed loose his trouser legs, leav-
ing him standing there bare-kneed
below his ridiculous cotton shorts.
Then with Incredible dexterity the
old desert-rat swung the twisted leg
cloth around the younger mans star

oner against the post. His move
ments were more leisurely as he tied

neck.
had no clear suspicion of Sock
Eyes intentions until I saw him
stroll down the steps and pick up an
empty salmon tin lying in the road
dust. There he eyed it with solemn
approval.
His steps were distressingly un-
steady as he returned to the porch
and placed the tin on Ericson's
head. A laugh went up from the
crowd when Ericsson shook the can
from its resting place.
Sock-Eye solemnly replaced it.
DO that again." he croaked, sand
I'll sure fan the bump O. veneration

He backed slowly away, the full
length of the porch.
"That gun-fanning old FOOLS 60
ing to pull the William Tell trick"
cried someone at the edge of the
crowd.
Better get an APPLE" cried an
other cultural voice.
But I couldn't see any excuse for
nirth in the situation. I could feel
my heart come up in my mouth as
/ saw Sock-Eye's long arm swing
about in an airy half-circle, with
the heavy six-gun in the tremulous
old hand.
My impulse was to stop such mad
ness. I even called out and started
forward. But was too late.
The shot rang out before I could
reach the porch. And at the same
time the empty salmon tin went
spinning through the evening air.
Sock-Eye, ignoring the shouts of
the crowd, went solemnly after it.
His intention, apparently, was to re-
peat that foolish and perilous per-
Torrance. But it was cut short
when a military-looking car swung
in from the highway and Colonel
Hart flung out of the seat beside
his driver.
ARREST that man." he called to
the Anchorage marshal who stood
on the running board.
But with an altogether unexpected
nimbleness Sock-Eye rounded the
Commissary, lodged out past the
stock shed, and disappeared in the
spruce scrub, at the same time that

"And it was Sid Lander done the

To prevent dough sticking to the
spoon when making dumplings dip
the spoon into hot liquid each time
before putting it into the dough.
Stewed prunes, stuffed with
cheese, nuts or celery and ar
ranged on lettuce leaves, make q
suitable salad to serve with chops
or roasts. French or mayonnaise
salad dressing may be used with it.
Drain all boiled vegetables as
soon as tender. They become sog-
gy if they are allowed to stand un-
strained after cooking. The water
drained off may be saved for soup
stock.
Lemon juice mixed with wood
ashes will remove tarnish from
brass.
Gilt picture frames can be re-
stored to brightness by rubbing

Paint piazza and garden chairs
now so that they may be thorough
ly dried before you wish to use

If your floors are worn and will
not hold wax, try touching up the
worn places with white shellac and
then wax. The floors will be much
improved by this treatment.
Grease the inside of the contain

.LRLS who are kept at home
= by strict maternal rule


r by strict maternal rule
- and obliged to obey pretty
severe rules of conduct in the
matters of dances and dates
and late hours, are the luckiest
girls after all.
They may not see it at 10, but
ten years and fifteen years later
they see it. And it is then, in
happy young wifehood and
motherhood, with their own po-
tential responsibilities coming
along, that they turn to the older
woman with an affectionate
laugh and begin to repay the
debt they owe her for guarding
their girlhood.
Mother was Gorgon!" they say
proudly. Nancy and I couldn't get
away with ANYTHING! Mother
had to know all about boys before
they could even take us to movies"
But of course Sixteen and Eight
cen don't see this, and if they pos
sibly can they escape from home
control. "Good heavens" they NUT
ter, as they curl up their shining
locks and paint their young mouths,
whats the harm of dancing?
What's the harm in one cocktail! I
never took too much to drink in my
life and neither did Nancy! You'd
think from the way Mother and Dad
talk that we were going right to the
bad!"
Too Much Freedom Harmful.
But there IS harm in giving youth
too much freedom. The harm is
that no girl of Sixteen or Eighteen
knows what she is losing or jeopar-
dizing when she goes about with a
reckless crowd. She is completely in
capable of judging how she will feel
a few years later, how this group of
men and women will impress her.
Even if she stops short Of actual
improprieties with men, she has to
face infinite dangers. She sees men
drunk; she hears stories and
phrases that should never reach her
ears; she endures the stupid de-
lays Of half-intoxicated women and
men who can't make up their minds
to 60 home, or 60 anywhere, but
who remain 'drowsily drinking and
dancing hours after all pleasure has
gone out Of the occasion. She risks
the return home with a driver who
is unfit to handle car.
Must Pay Some Price.
Many a girl quite innocently in
vites danger and fright and harm to
herself in this way. She may APP
parently escape actual injury, she
may not have to face the world with
a fatherless child in her arms; al
though even that Victorian situation
is not as unusual as today's girls
would like to think. But no girl
gets off scot free after a few young
years Of recklessness and license.
Her manner, speech, standards,
personality are all affected; other
women realize that the minute they
meet her.
For the young years are very i'm
portant years. It is in them that
we lay the foundation for the future.
And restraint and fineness and dis
elimination and self-control in those
years bear inevitable fruit. The
girl who deliberately makes herself
lawless and common at eighteen is
not going miraculously to emerge
from cheapening associations and
find herself admirable at Is, clean
of speech, clean of mind, clean of
soul.

of three and are expecting new
baby in midsummer. This is my
problem.
Went With Wrong Crowd.
"My husband is doctor, a year
younger than /. He was recently
offered a very advantageous posi-
ton with clinic in my old home
town. Since our marriage, and in
deed for two years before that, my
family has lived in this city, and I
met Tom here. I have never been
back to the place where I lived as
a girl, nor seen any Of my old asso-
ciates there. I went with the wrong
crowd, as see now, and was glad
to leave it all behind me.
SIN that old group, in those reck-
less days, was man I will call
Larry. He was a rough, dark, vio-
lent sort Of fellow, older by six or
seven years than the rest Of us,
coarse and noisy, but fascinating,
and we all knew he was brilliant.
This man, if Tom accepts the fiat
tering offer he has just received,
will be my husbands immediate SUI
perior and close associate.
81 was never, in the sense Of MAX
ing our relationship public or con-
slant, this mans mistress. But we
were always paired off together, and
on certain weekend trips either to
hotels in the mountains, or to some
body's cabin or camp, did not feel,
at IS, able to behave in a manner
very different from the rest. The
tragedy Of it is that I never really
loved Larry. He wanted me and
wanted to 60 along with the others.
Fears to Move Back.
s'My husband knows nothing of
this. 1t was long ago, it was I'M
important, it has been completely
forgotten in the realer experience Of
being a beloved and honored wife.
Tom is proud, sensitive and fine in
every way; he would be shocked to
know it and I would never recover
my place with him. And, as say,
it is not important enough to worry
about; it has nothing to do with our
lives now.
"But at the same time, how can
! move straight back into the neigh
borhood not only of this man, who
will instantly remember all the
past, but perhaps other members of
that group, who knew perfectly well
what was going on? Larry is
coarse man, our sex is not much re-
spected by him, it was part of his
charm-or in my idiotic little girl
days I found it so, that he boosted Of
his masterful ways with women.
81 am trying to influence Tom not
to accept this offer, which bewilders
and disturbs him. What I am
writing to ask you is whether it
would be wise for me to write hon
estly to Larry, and ask him to have
his board of directors withdraw the
invitation?"
And she encloses the money for
a Geographic answer.
Face the Difficulties.
What advised was her return to
her old town, an honest facing Of
the difficulties, an explanation to
Larry that will not be too long or
involved or fearful or penitent, and
a concentration upon the building
into her life of fineness and goodness
and simplicity, with a complete for
getfulness of the past.
