Returning to Rock House late afternoon, he wai halfway across the meadow when he caught a movement In the pinei around hii cabin. A horse whinnied. His hand had learned the habit of dropping to his gun. He went on, alert and tense in his saddle. Shadows about the station hid the animal tied at his rack until ho approached within a short distance, then he saw the blue color. A moment later Louise rose from the log where she had been sitting and took a step to meet him. He swung down beside her happily. "I didn't expect a visitor, or I would have left the cabin unlocked. How are you, Louise?" "Oh, able to be about" There was but a momentary warmth in her greeting, then she seemed to draw within herself. Her manner was again casual as she said, "I came this way to tell you something that is really none of my AS By HAROLD CHANNING WIRE bnkl battle. Rags littered the floor. An odor of oil and grease mingled with cigarette smoke. The room, after he had entered, turned uncomfortably silent Jackson spoke first "Grub in the box yonder, if you're hungry. We've had ours." "Thanks," said Breck. 'Tve had mine too." He crossed to the stove, held out his hands to warm them, then turned abruptly to face the gathering. "What's up, Jackson?" About the room men put down their guns, and sitting motionless, to speak. waited for their range-bos- s The old man moved nearer the stove. "It's business," he began, "plumb serious, maybe, and you oughtn't to have come riding into it" He paused. Behind him. the men took up their Jobs of "You oughtn't to have come," JG repeated, "because you can't atop us." Breck remained silent There was grim tenseness in the room, some- g. dered moved and the permittees given their full measure of range land. Meanwhile cattlemen on gov ernment meadows were losing money. He felt the dozen faces turned toward him, and recognized the drama of this moment The whole thing appeared as a stage; the men with dark, shadowed faces, singly or in groups. Their guns. The dim lamplight The closed door and blackness outside the windows. Yet looking once more into J. G. Jackson's determined eyes, he knew this was a drama of real life, and death if need be. His next movement was no gesture of the stage. He drew out his gun, put it on the table, then pushed out a seat and sat down. Without a word a man at bis elbow offered cleaning rags and ofl. "Well now. by God!" said old JG. "Boys, let's get along!" keep eomin. We'll have the fence down before the bunch gets there." He named three others to accompany the boy. They rode over to Join the men already holding the herd. The rest of the party continued up the mountain. Breck glanced over a dim mass of backs in passing. The cattle were quiet enough now, but once get them on the move they would be hard to stop. That was Jackson's plan. Cut the fence. Start the stampede upward. Spread his animals on the disputed grass lands before the Middle Fork outfit could turn them back. "Looks like we ain't been discovered yet" the man observed, riding close. They went on in silence. Presently Breck put a question that had been growing in his mind. "Will you hold your men back while I go up to the fence?" 'Tor what?" West from Bear Trap meadow 'To do the Job of cutting. I'm a rose the high, rounded top of Black government man. I'll take the re business." "What?" : There's to be a meeting tonight In Jackson's camp at Bear Trap. I rode that way coming up from the Potholes, and talked to JG himself.1 "A cattle meeting?" Breck asked. "Of course." He frowned. A meeting of cattlemen was not his affair. They would not welcome him, uninvited. He said so. The girl shrugged. "All depends on how you go Into it But there, I thought you probably wouldn't be interested." She moved toward her horse.' "Louise!" Breck caught her and turned her about until she faced him. "Tell me, be wide open for once, la this something I ought to have a hand In?" "It isn't on the ranger books," she answered, "but It is something you ought to have a hand in, very She paused, hesitating much." over her next words, then finished gravely, "You could do a lot tonight or nothing. I wonder . . ." Abruptly she gathered her reins and mounted. Then In the instant before she wheeled her horse and loped away, she looked down and completed her thought "I wonder if I have judged you right" Breck lost no time in making a decision. He would take Louise's advice and go to Bear Trap, though she had not said what the meeting was about nor why he should have hand in it Some way to turn the cattlemen back into his friendship? They were in trouble? . He fed Kit, cooked a hasty meal, and In half an hour was headed into the Bear Trap trail. Dusk closed the forest about him, bringing that sense of loneliness so often a part ;of the day's enl It was increased tonight He thought of Louise. She too at this moment was riding alone somewhere across the mountains. Safe? Of course. She was moun- tain girL His horse clattered on up the ridge. Breck continued to think of her, until suddenly in glancing bout he was swept by the feeling that n had just become awaks. Louise must have ridden miles out of her trail if she had come this way. She might have waited hours at the station to give him a chance with JG. She cared enough to do that! She believed he could prove himself one of the men. "Idiot!" he flared, "you didn't even say thanks!" Impulsively he wanted to wheel Kit and follow her. He looked up through the pine tops at the stars, seeing a strange new beauty in them. Moonlight and shadows lay in soft lace patterns underfoot Swiftly a yearning possessed him. More there was a great deal more he could say to her tonight! He turned upon himself. "You roughneck, you'll do well to keep your head on one job at a time!" About midnight he rode onto the table-lan- d of Bear Trap and was guided to Jackson's camp by a solitary point of light He approached the cabin, then even before he could crack dismount the door opened and a voice demanded: ""Who's there?" "Ranger," Breck answered. He swung to the ground, secured Kit to a tree and moved toward the chink where JG peered out "Howdy. Jackson," he said casually, "bow's everything?" Breck felt a steady scrutiny, then the door opened. He entered and at once a dozen faces confronted him, some questioning, others openly glaring. None were facea he could recognize, though no doubt they had all been at the count and were for the most part cowhands employed by Jackson. They sat about the room, all occupied in a singular way. That was what Breck saw first Guns were out being cleaned, assembled, loaded; mostly, though some were rifles. Unopened boxes of cartridges lay on the table; enough, Breck observed, to equip this band of a dozen men for a long By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS THE weather begins to get warmer, many families velop a finicky attitude toward food. They come to the table with little appetite and claim that nothing tastes good. Before you reproach them, however, give some thought to the type of meals you are serving. Do they contain an abundance of crisp, succulent greens which tempt the eye and the palate and furnish important minerals and vitamins? Do they include juicy fruits with their refreshing flavors and fruitf- - appetite-stimulatin- g acids? Have you cut down somewhat on carbohydrates and fats? Or are you still offering enough energy foods at each meal to supply the fuel requirements of cold winter days? meal appeals to the appetite and provides substantial amounts of minerals and vitamins. A carefully chosen diet is an exn cellent remedy for the feeling that both children and adults often experience at this season. For science has discov- watercress, dandelion greens, lettuce or shredded eabbage, with fruit, or a small amount of a savory fish paste will intrigue the most reluctant appetite. And when the salad is served at the beginning of a meal, yon can be. sure that it will be eaten before the hunger is satisfied. Another way to get additional vegetables into a meal is to mold them in gelatin and serve as a dinner salad. Or an assortment of fruits can be treated in the same way and used as a combination salad and dessert. If prepared gelatin desserts are used, a wide variety of color and flavor combinations can be achieved with very little effort; and children will eat let-dow- ered what food substances are necessary to promote appetite and digestion, to help maintain buoyant health. Obtaining the Appetite Vitamin We know for example that when the appetite is poor, there may be a deficiency of that part of the vitamin B - complex which nutritionists call Bi. There is both experimental and clinical evidence that this vitamin is essential for the maintenance of a keen appetite. In addition, it is also required for the normal functioning of the digestive tract, so that it must be provided in sufficient amounts if food is to be utilised to best advantage. Among the foods which supply this vitamin are whole grain cereals, bran, eggs, milk, peas, beans, carrots, spinach and cabbage. It is also found in many fruits, though usually in lesser amounts. In general, a most satisfactory way to insure a liberal g intake of the vitamin is to include in the diet generous amounts of whole grain cereals, milk, vegetables and fruits. As these foods likewise contribute many other necessary substances, they rate a promi nent place in the dietary. Salads Twice a Day A crisp appetiser salad makes a good beginning for the main meal of the day. A combination of them with relish.

For this mineral is necessary for the formation of the hemoglobin or red pigment in the blood and it is the hemoglobin that carries purifying oxygen to every cell in the body. Iron-ric- h foods include liver, eggs, whole grain cereals, dried fruits, and green, leafy vegetables. I have repeatedly urged the generous consumption of green, leafy vegetables, and I cannot too strongly emphasize their importance as a source of iron, as well as other essential minerals; and vitamins. Keep the Diet Laxative Another piece of advice that warrants repetition is my frequent recommendation that yon inelnde in the diet adequate amounts of bulky foods. These are necessary to help promote normal elimina tion. If your menus contain too many highly concentrated foods, irregular health habits may result.

Get Milk is Plenty of Milk another food that should be used generously, because it contains such a wide assortment of protective substances. It is our foremost source of calcium, which is required for the teeth, bones and for sound healthy nerves. And it contains every known vitamin in varying amounts. If your family does not care for milk as a beverage, make frequent use of cheese which is essentially milk in concentrated form. And use milk freely in sauces and for making desserts. It can also be incorporated in nourishing cream soups, to be served for luncheon or supper. Follow the soup with a salad made from crisp greens and including a protein food, such as cheese, nuts, d or eggs. And top off with a fruit dessert.
