Bnow bad f rooted the window

Breplace the next evening m Mary
moved ahout Duttlnc the fin lining
louche to her cabin room, in honor
ol her TiaHor.
"Ooah, lt'a anowia' and blowin'."
Bhe turned to her Indian equaw
errant. "Wowkle, ID bet you a
doHah be never get here."
"Ill bet you a dollah he doea,"
Ramerres said from the doorway.
Striding in, he shook off the enow,
and grinned , down at her. "Can X
coma In?" . :
A bit nuatered, Mary laughed,:

In. Sure g4ad you came," aha aaid.
Wowkle opened the door and
now could be seen descending like
a thick, white curtain. "Umm.
ard." The door closed after
Ramerres watched Mary as she
stood over the stew that was cook
ing on the lire. ' "What happens
when you get snowed in up here?"
he asked and because the question
Iwaa so unnatural, so obviously not
what he wanted to talk about, a
fay embarraatmant fell over them
Doth. Then somehow, his arms
bad crept around her, were pulling
bar close. "Mary, the first time
I saw you X wanted to kiss you."
"You did," she reminded him and
trembled with a shameless longing.
"But I shouldn't have. I stole
that Lots' got to be a fair game.
It isn't solitaire. . Two have got to
play at it to male it worth while."
Her love was flowering up at him
but as Ramerres eyes met the
deep, trusting; depths of her own,
he felt as if he'd been pierced
through the heart. Abruptly, he
walked awmy. With clenched hands
he began to pace the room. What
was there that ha could do or say?
Weal, maybe he could tell her of
his love, make her understand,
through the language of song. Soft
ly, no Dejanve mng.
Shadows on the Moon"
' Mary picked up the refrain ab
sently. Then suddenly they were
teeing each other with bated
hreath.
1 "Where did you learn that song?"
Masked, striding to her.
! Bar ayes were wide, startled.
fFrom my motffaer. She used to put

little girl standing by a caravan

Than, as he aiaappeared she Dung
open the door. "What's the matter
Jack? What's the visit for?'
Bonos was looking sharply at
the table set for two. Then be
walked to the fire, "It's Ramerres.
I got tipped off he's in Cloudy
again. I got his bona. Andaman
doesn't go far on a night like this
without a horse."
. Mary began to straighten the
table aimlessly. "Dont worry about
me Jack, rll take car of Mr.
Ramerres if be shows up around
here."
He looked at her bitterly. "Like
you took care of him last night?"
"I don't get you Jack."
"You dldnt got that fancy Lieu
tenant Johnson either. It happens
that he Ramerres."
The blood drained from her face.
"I don't believe it Jack. How do
you know that Johnson is Ram
erres?" "His woman told me. Yeah, his
girl sold him out A half-breed.
Seems she was Jealous of you. She's
waitln' in my offloe now for the
reward. And if you don't believe

' The door tor open and Jack
Ranee was again in the room,
"stand back than, Mary," he
warned. "He's state nroperqr from
sow on." Kneeling besi de the un
conscious man, he quickly made
bandages to stop his prisoner's
wounds. "Well Mister Ramerres,
rm gola' to keep you alive because
we're goia' to have a little hanghV
party tonight and you're the guest
of honor."
"Jack!" The cry seemed to rip
her throat open but already her
brain : was afire with a desperate
plan. "Jack, you're got to listen.
You and I have been outtln' the
cards for most everythin' slnoe
we've known each other. And you
still want me don't you?"
"More'n anything in the world."
"Well," she threw up her head
recklessly, "two hands out of three
wiH get me. If you win you get
him and me. If win you don't
get either of us."
There was a long pause. Then
he gave her his answer. Taking a
8aok of cards from his pocket he
irew them to the table. "Shuffle
them up, Olrl."
With trembling fingers, Mary ran
through the cards, face up. It was
"Htkntwl couldn't help
. loving you." ,
that, here's the tintype she gave
me of him in Mexican uniform.
See what it says. To Nina with
love. Ramerres.' And 111 tell you
one thing Girl, 111 bet all my hope
of gettin' you, that I round him
up.
When she was quite sure he was
gone she called, "well. Mister Ram
erres, you can come out now." And
as he appeared her tone snapped
like a whip. "Is what the Sheriff
said about you true?"
"Yes Golden Hair," he began halt
ingly, Tm Ramerres. But I meant
to teU you tonight I"
"I don't mean that," Mary out
in harshly. 'Tm talking about that
other girl. You came hen tonight
and kissed me and held me in your
arms and all the time you had an
other girl. That's what I can't
forgive. And now you can get out"
she stormed. "And if the Sheriff
gets you, I don't care, I don't care!"
His eyes were as bleak as the
night outside. "I don't think I
care much now, either. Good night
Golden Hair."
She was standing rigidly baton
the fireplace repeating over and
over again, "I dont can. I really
don't'' when then came the sharp
deadly sound of a gun speaking.
Her knees seemed to turn to water.
Then she was at the door and as
she opened it Ramerres stumbled
through. Her, strong young arms
Just prevented him from falling.'
"They got you didn't they?" she
sobbed.
"Not yet, they . haven V he
breathed, bracing himself against
the wall. His teeth wen clenched
with pain. Til MB. them one by
one as they try to come In ben.
Ranee and bis whole pack,"
Standing ; befon Urn, Mary
moaned.
Ramerres stand at her, at bar
brimming eyes and her young
twisted mouth. Then, as he fell
to the floor, bis gun dropped from
now or never and her decision must
be made quickly. She placed the
deck on the table. "Out for deal."
The same be ran.
Ranee disclosed a pair of sixes.
Mary iolaed ner nana. Tne sec
ond hand was played with Ranee
showing two pain of sights to
Mary's three tens. Then came the
decisive third band. Triumphantly,
Ranee held up bls cards. "A
straight to the Jack. Awin, Girl."
His face went ashen aAhe looked.
"Three aees and a pair-
All right Girl, you win.'
But a few momenta Is

erres' lips, Ranee suddenly
at the table. He pioked

out Swingina; her around he
"You cheated! You. of all people
cheated. I'd kill you if I didn't love
you the way I do'
Wearily, almost resignedly now.
she sank into a chair. "All right
Jack," she said dully, "I cheated.
"So you won. But if you got me,
you dont want him too do you?"
He was breathing heavily. T
never figured on winning you with
ute earns uin.
She shrugged. "Maybe It wasn't
th cards. Just because I wanted
to save his life doesn't mean I
love him does it? I'd do the same
for a bleedln' dog who'd been bit-
ten - by wolves and came to my
door.," She was making ber last
stand now. "Listen Jack, don't go
through with this and 111 marry
you ana iu try to oe a wonderful
wife to you. What do you say?"
His voice was clogged. "All right
Girl If that's the way you want
K, that's how it's going to be."
He looked at the unconscious man,
"Mr. Ramerres, I'm going to tie
you around your horse and let you
go. But If you live through this
and I ever see you again, 111 kill
you."
As if benumbed, Mary watched
to the business eef
Ramerres on Ms horsev
Tor a Jong tolling moment she
looked ener ue enunaj as it moved
down the slope, carrying Ms Inert
burden, Vtoally, wtth the gesture)
of one drawing a curtain, she closed
the door ana went to tne arms of
the man she bad promised tej
marry. .
Just a few weeks later she was
standing with him in the patio of
Father EUenne's Pariah house. Jack
arranged of letter for the
padre to perform the wedding cere
mony. Father Sienna looked at bet
sesxchlngty'. 'Tve been waiting for
you child. An you happy, my
dear?"
Her ssOant smile disavowed hei
aching heart "Yes, father."
As the Padre drew Jack Into the
Registry she sauntered around the
brick walk of the patio talking
softly to the bright colored parrots.
Then her heart leaped to her
throat He was here, ber beloved.
"Golden Hair!" In the same in
stant Ramerrez had seen her and
all in a rush had caught her up in
bis arms. "I'll never let you go
again," be was saying, hie face
close to hen, "never. It seems like
Fate that I came here today. I'm
not Ramerrez any more, Golden
Olrl, Tm just"
But suddenly Mary broke away
from him. Almost sobbing, she
cried, "you must go away! Jack is
here. And if he sees you hell kill
you. I know he will"
A strange calmness had come
over him. "Very well. In that case
I'll die in your arms."
"Put 'em up, Mister Ramerres!"
Ramerres' arms rose and he
turned to face Jack Ranee whom
gun was levelled on him.
"If I was Sheriff of this county,"
Ranee said In a deadly voice, "rd
shoot you down like a dog. But
being that rm not rm going te
give you an even break for youl
Ufa." Flipping his second gun from
his belt Ranee tossed It at Ram
erres. "From where we're standi n
youn starting around the church
from the right. Tm going around
from the left When we meet"
It waa murder, murder! some
thing shrieked inside Mary and sh
did not even know she bed spoken
the word aloud.
The Padre was standing M
Ranee's shoulder. "My son, hav
Cnot learned from God that vlo
!e Is not the way? This boy
came to me only this morning aak
Ing to be forgiven, taken back into
the fold"
With no change of expression
Ranee turned to the man befon
him. "Get going Ramerres. And
you'd better be quick on the draw)
An you ready?"
"When you are, Sheriff."
"Let's go."
And then they had actual!)
started. '
(Moaning quietly, Mary put he
bead in her hands. "Father, Sienna,
Father Sienna, they've gone. They'd
going to try to kill each other
end it's all on account of me. Can't
you stop them? Cant you prayl
Can't you ask Ood to help us?'r
The eld Father's voice waa trem
bling. T am praying for yon, m)
child."
Sinking to her knees sobbing
Mary began to pray with him. Hsl
eardrums seemed to burst as shi
waited for those fateful sounds. On
minute passed, two three. Then
then were footsteps on the gravi

"What happened? We didn't heal

Looking oddly dazed, Ram arret

The annual battle between house
wives and moths is just entering the
first stages with the coming of warm
er weather, according to Miss Mamie
Whisnant, assistant home manage
ment, and house furnishings special
ist for the State College Extension
Service.
In the past, woolen garments were
packed away with dozens of moth
balls. However, modern research has
shown that moth balls, cedar boxes
and other repellents cannot be relied
upon to prevent eggs already present
from hatching.
Moths do not damage garments; it
is the larvae or caterpillars which
develop from the tiny eggs deposited
by the moths which shred clothing.
The best method for taking care of
woolen garments is dry cleaning and
thorough pressing, after which the
clothing is hung in moth-proof bags.
Articles which do not hang, such as
blankets, may be moth-proofed,
wrapped in paper and put away in
chests or on high closet shelves.
Moth-proofing solutions are available
on the market and should be sprayed
directly on the garments.
Before putting away garments,
housewives should remember that
fresh air and sunshine are two of the
moth's worst enemies. All articles
should first be cleaned, repaired, and
brushed well, and then put out in
the sun and air for at least one day.
After that they should be examined
thoroughly to make sure no moths or
eggs are present before storing.
Large, unbroken pieces of paper
make good wrapping material, and
the end laps or folds should be sealed
with gummed tape to prevent breaks
or openings through which the moths
may enter. Newspaper is excellent
for wrapping since moths do not like
printers' ink.
