MOST quilts today are planned

THE STORY so FAR: AS a rancher,
Clay Morgan knows he must fight rus
tiers. But he doesn't like the methods
used against them by big ranchers like
Ben Herendeen. Determined to play a
lone hand rather than a crooked one,
he defends the rustler, Ollie Jacks, when
he is freed after his trial for stealing
Herendeen's cattle. Herendeen prom.
ises to leave Jacks alone as long as he
doesn't try to leave town. Morgan and
his nine-year-old daughter, Janet 60 to
the cemetery where his wife is buried.
Although two women, Catherine Grant
and Ann McGarrah, are in love with
him, Morgan cannot forget his wife, who
died hating him and believing she should
have married Herendeen. sOn their way
back to town they see Ollie Jacks ride
away. So it is no surprise when Morgan
learns little later that Jacks has
been killed. Herendeen had kept his
word and no more.
Now continue with the story.

And another thing, Harriet, is
this. We are having enuff trOu-

vicuS versus.
Now, Harriet, if you have made
up your mind l serpose it is no sense
arguing but all I hope is that you
have thought it all over carefully
first. l read in the paper that the
women's army is to 60 on hikes and
be trained a good deal like any
army and am awful worried about
your feet. remember you never
was much good at long walks and
I cannot bear the idea of you being
out in the hot sun all day with your
feet hurting.
warn you that army life is
awful tough on dogs. 1t is bad
enough on a mans dogs witch is
tougher than girls dogs any
how and l do not think girls
feet is meant for such work.
warn you also to ask about
guard duty and KIP. detail, Har-
riet. Find out if you got to do
these things in wOman's army.
And if you have l am sure you
wood want no part of it. Guard
duty means you got to go out
and walk between two posts
sometimes all night and you
won't see nobody. You will hear
the darndest noises and it is two
creepy for any girl, espeshully
one who is as nervus as you.
remember you are little jumpy
in the dark even when l am
with you and SO how wood you
feel all alone, Harriet?
Now KIP. duty is going around
picking up all waste papers, butts,
ETC., all over the camp and peeling
vegetables and it is no job for a
girl who is not used to it and / re-
member your mother always said
you hated to help in the kitchen at
all and did not exactly like house
cleaning either. Of coarse | have
not got the lowdown on the women's
army and do not know what you

ing you.
Sergeant Mooney says you
wood have to do all that man
does in army accept to fight.
But i read in paper that you
wood be detailed most to light
duties witch l hope is true on
account of l have enuff to do
worrying about what shape am
in without worrying about you,
Harriet.
So think it all over and as the old
saying goes look before you become
a rolling stone Write me a long
letter.
Love,
Oscar.

was not afraid to come. They had
taken in a movie. Somehow 1t had
not been a very successful evening.
libby had been right when she had
thought they might have difficulty
in regaining the old familiar play
time attitude. That something still
hung between them, invisible, yet
impregnable. 1t would have been
better, as Tommy had remarked, II
he had not said as much as he had.
Then he would not have been hurt
and would not, in turn, have hurt
her.
libby did not know why she
should let it bother her so much,
for it did bother her, this new con-
straint, more than she cared to ad-
NIT, more than seemed called for.
or course 1t would smooth over in
time. She and Tommy could not go
on this way; they had known each
other too long; they were too fond
Of one another.
II she was so fond Of him, why
hadn't she given him a hint that
she was, a little hope that she
might be willing to wait? It would
not have hurt to have given that
much. Yet it was his fault that she
hadn't. He had not given her a
chance. He wanted her to sit at
home and wait for him. Like a girl
in ones great-grandmother's day.
He did not want her to have any
life Of her own while waiting. He
did not-at the end-even want her
to wait for him!
He had said forget it-"forget /
even said anything-it's gone. like
the good old days, the sane old
world" So that did make an
end. More reason why she was an
idiot not to forget it all. to worry
and fret, even about Tommy him
self and that new strangeness be-
tween them.
She would not worry any more.
She wouldn't give Tommy a
thought. She certainly would not
tell him that she was going to learn
to fly. 1t was none Of his concern;
1t had nothing to do with him. II
was her affair entirely Her life.
II was enough to think about to-
morrow. To count the hours until
two O'Clock. To pinch herself to try
to believe IT was going to come true
her most cherished. secret dream
Of all.

continue to do so indefinitely-es-
pecially since he had given so much
time to doing just that very thing,
He might have given pause had
he thought for one moment that a
young girl with soft dark eyes and
natural flush in her smooth
cheeks could upset his particular
applicant. Again he might not. 1t
would indeed be something new and
interesting to have such a prepos-
ferrous thing as that take place.
Tomorrow at two o'clock" he
reminded again at parting. He had
ordered only coffee TO go with Tib-
by's light lunch. After these ar
fragments had been made he did
not try TO prolong the conversation
or the accidental encounter.
libby walked on air all the way
home. She still was light-headed.
Not from any personal effect
COPYRIGHT had had on her-she
would not have dreamed of letting
personalities enter in; she thought
Of COPYRIGHT as the head of or
e@nizations, herself an employe-
which was what made it all the
more stupendous. The light-head-
edness was caused from the light
ming methods COPYRIGHT produced.
Making dreams come true in a
slight-of-hand manner, overruling
reality in his high-handed way.
She certainly had misjudged
him that first time. The rumors
were not fair; they only told half,
the dramatic, spectacular and awe
some half. emitting the human in
terest side of the story, for he was
human after all-he was a perfect
ly grand guy!
OF course she must remember
that he was her boss, a big official
in the company. There would be
nothing at all personal in this new
relationship, either; it simply would
be pupil-teacher, instead Of en-
ployer and employe, although IL
would be a pleasant relationship,
she felt sure.
libby decided, upon reflection, TO
say nothing whatever about all this
to Tommy Dare. She might as well
spare him any unnecessary worry,
and she knew he would worry and
stew. He also would try to tell her
II was a crazy idea and that she
ought to keep her feet on the
ground.
She had seen Tommy only once
since the memorable night Of his
proposal. He had stopped IN With
out announcing his intentions Of
doing so, and probably to show he
