And Nary a Drop Was
Split Along the Way

A young Scottish couple had
moved from their country cottage
into a modern house. All their
goods and chattels arrived safely
with exception of the rain tub.
After the wife had pleaded with
her husband that this was an asset
to her household, he said he would
60 and get it that evening.
AS he had not arrived home at
1890 a. m. his wife became wor-
ried. At Ills a. m. the back gate
slammed and there was a dull
thud. In a few seconds the door
opened to reveal a dishevelled
and perspiring man, who said:

Aborigines of Australia

Although the white colonization
of Australia began in 1888, the ma
jority of its aborigines still do not
know how to cultivate land, make
clothes or build a shelter other
than a windbreak, says Golfers.
These people have always been
looked upon as little more than
animals. In fact, up to 40 years
ago, a settler merely required a
permit to shoot, poison or other

THESE pot holders proved to be
L "best sellers" at a bazaar.
They were made by group of
women who resolved not to pro-
duce a single holder in a dull col
or combination. That is probably
the secret of their success.
Most of the materials came
from scrap bags but a few pennies
were spent for bias bindings and
backing to accent tones in the wide
assortment of prints. Pieces of
cotton flannel or sheet wadding
were used for interlining. The ma
terial was cut six inches square
and the corners rounded so that
the machine binder could be used
for the edges. The backing, inter-
lining and top were basted togeth-
er before quilting them by stitch
ing across from side to side and
then from corner to corner.

two facts emerged. Firstly. that the chief
thought less than nothing of Americans; and
secondly, that there could be no such thing
as a lady American warrior, and he was
apparently ready to bet on it, or words to that
effect. Arizona seized Georges arm eagerly.

Arizona under her breath, nudging him. If
the old gentleman had Stetson on instead
of that bedsheet, he'd look like my own
grandpa, Two-Gun Billy Vest
The chief, with his gray beard, finely cut
face and impeccable dignity, was listening to
the sentry's babbling account of the capture.
At his side an older man, presumably the
councillor, gave equal attention. When the
sentry had been silenced by a gesture, the
councillor turned to Arizona.
What are you?" he asked in French.
Pm Wacv' she said. Moi, une WAC!'
1t was plain that nobody present had ever
heard of Wac before, but everybody re-
peated the word over and over as if it had
some meaning in their own language.
Then the older man and El Cid talked
together at length.
Can you figure out what they're saying?"
Arizona whispered to George.
Il think the old boy is asking the chief If
he's sure you're not a devil disguised as

pointing ahead. 'Okay, pardner?" she asked
the Arab, Want to race?" Understanding
nothing except that here was a beautiful
woman unveiled the Arab smiled.
Let's go" Arizona cried, "Yippee.'
The Eagle shot forward like bolt of
lightning and after split second the Arab
followed in hot pursuit. Soon they were neck
to neck, the sentry desperate lest his prisoner
escape him, not realizing that Arizona was
headed straight for the fortress.

This was a tough one to get over, but be-
ton of horse, it finally registered. The chief
got to his feet, strange geam in his eye
Il guess he wants US to come along down
to the rodeo" Arizona murmured
"A DAY later Colonel Broughten was startled
by the unceremonious entry Of breathless
doughboy. Pardon, sir" said the boy. It's
that Wac that got lost. She's back, and Schu-
maker with her, and they appear to have
captured some Ay-rabs!"
"Ahrrumphp said Broughten, trying to
conceal his relief. We'll, damn it all, why are
you standing there? Send them in at oncer'
A few moments later Arizona, slightly be-
draggled with desert dust ushered in prince
ly figure in flowing robes with whom she
appeared to be on the best of terms. Behind
her came Schumacher and two other Arabs,
apparently guard of honor.

Colonel Broughten held out his hand.
They shook hands Then Arizona sa
luted, waved good-by to El Cid and
turned away, heavy with fatigue. At
her tent she gave the package of sheets
to George.
You'll get chevrons at least for this" he
told her admiringly. Maybe citation" But
Arizona did not seem to hear him. On her
cot lay a bundle of letters from Pat.

that got to do with this case?"

"a good deal of confidential information
seems to pass through the Wac's office in
Algiersr Broughten said stiff1y.
That's what we're there for" Arizona
reminded him. But it's no secret that FL

who won't smoke the peace pipe with the
great white fathers Also that FL Cid himself

And since you already know so much, Prl-

Americans in contempt, but his fortress,
though small, is important"
The remarkable thing is, we haven't been

WHEN arrangements had been completed,

special permission. Her heart was high with
excitement, enhanced when she saw one OF
her terminates opening letter. Perhaps Pat
had written - Pat who claimed to love her,
but from whom she hadn't heard in weeks.
That courier plane drop anything for

ded to the cot behind her, and Arizonas
throat frightened when she saw only pack
age from Spratt's Department Store. The
toilet articles she had sent for no doubt, and
a cold comfort for the fact that Pat was too
busy with his FBI work to write, or had for
gotten her.
She tore the wrapping off impatiently and
stared at the contents. ''I'm lop-eared son
of a stolen jackass" she gasped Through
some error the package contained nothing
but pair of extra-size bedsheets, which she
had not ordered. 1t was too much. Arizona
threw them down in disgust and stalked away
to what had once been the local chiefs sta
bles, where two animals were already saddled.
There was only one horse left in the once

George Schumacher, who had been detailed
to accompany her, watched rather obviously
as a mule was led out Il didn't want to tell
the felers," he said, but can't ride horse.
In fact, I've never ridden"
You take the mule, pardner. You don't
need to ride mule: you just set on it -
Arizona felt gloriously at home as the olive
trees and the struggling palms were left be-
hind Ahead lay country which might have
been her own, with miniature Grand Can
yons, dry arroyos, with reddish mesas behind
which white-capped mountains cleaned dis
tantly, like Frisco Peaks from Williams

much the same. The air was daZzingly clear.

Beyond where?" Schumacher was puzzled.
Those Roman ruins she elucidated,
pointing to where the broken reminders of
long lost conquest stood silhouetted against
the light They rode through crumbling
arch, and were on the true desert at last.
MILE by mile, Arizona's corrections on the
map were verified by the terrain. Schumacher,
already little sadde-sore made notes, eager
to get back with the report before nghttall.
Then at sunset the incredible happened.
Something slipped; they were lost.
Il couldn't get lost on desert" Arizona
protested Indignantly.

grimly. That stretch of dunes threw US. Get

When they had eaten, George took the
first watch and they settled down to sleep.
The cold night passed without anyone
seeing the signals In the early morning
Schumacher made his saddle with a groan
Arizona, looking incredibly beautiful despite
the difficulties of her toilet, cooked the big
Stetson on one side of her golden
head. and swinging onto The Eagles

her guidance. He smells water.' she >
said, in answer to Georges protest
Il wish to heaven he'd smell out
some liniment as welln' he grumbled.
The Eagle did, in fact, smell out r
something more than water. Arizona's
keen, desert-trained eyes saw it first - -
the dun-colored stronghold clinglng
almost invisibly to the dun-coored
mountainside What outfit do you
guess it is, pardner?" she asked.

More likely they'll have a couple

they saw that mounted Arab had

was anything but friendly but Arizona

some sentences After interminable fumbling,

At the formal greeting the sentry turned
his attention to the American uniform. He
muttered, then motioned them to 60 ahead.

said George
Arizona looked at the Arabs horse and
then down at her own. Then she smiled,
