a safe that will stand a fire that' would destroy a building, since fires rarely bum more than an hour before being extinguished. His wooden safe affords more protection than an ordinary metal filing ‘ cabinet, which transmits heat readily and is no protection at all, even against a brief enveloping fire, Starker believes. He found that a blowtorch directed against a two-inch plank would not burn through in half an hour and in that time the opposite side of the J plank was only moderately warm. Following this lead, Starker built his cabinet of two-inch planking. He believes his valuables have reasonable protection.

CHAPTER IV ‘ X75, Tr: ’ R E very happy to have you * » with us, Davie. You know that, don't you?" Mrs. Bailey asked as she smiled gently at the orphan boy who eat on a horse-bair sofa in the living l oom of the Major's home and bit his lips to keep back his tears. “Why, in no time at all, you’ll feel different about things," interjected Ji ff uncomfortably. “This is goiti’ to be your home. .. , “if l do. say it myself, you’re
“1 wish you would stay.” Mrs. Bailey realized the weakness of Jeff 's alibi and decided to try again. “It's rather a special occasion—having David here—and the Major home with us for dinner.’’ “Don’t coax them, Mother,” Amanda spoke up firmly. “If they want to stay, they’ll stay!" “You mustn’t mind Amanda being so outspoken," interrupted the Major as he saw his two new men flush with embarrassment. “She's what you call one of the new generation: a modern girl.” “Oh ... is she?” smiled Jeff as ho thought to himself that he’d like to take this girl and spank her so she wouldn’t be so "modern.” Then to Davie he added: “Be a good boy an’ chop a lot of lire wood. You know you got to help Mrs. Bailey all you can. Well goodbye, Mrs. Bailey. . . . Thanks again for that invitation. Come on Wahoo.” He was firm.
"Say, what’s the Idea of maltin' a liar out of me—sayin’ maybe them cattle did get across?" “There’s only one way we'll get those big jobs. We’ll have to take the oneriest, dirtiest jobs that come along an’ clean ’em out like good Bangers. Then we can write our own tickets with the Major.” Suddenly Jeff stopped dumbfounded as he looked toward his cabin. ‘‘Hey!’’ he shouted when ho recovered. "Who told you to move our stuff out in the street?” "What your place needs Is a good fire,” answered Amanda firmly as she and a Mexican woman appeared at the doorway with armsful of bedding and other household articles. “It’s like sleeping in a pig pen, so 1 thought. ...” “Lady, we're much obliged, hut we’re used to sleeping in pig pens— if you don’t mind," was Jcft' s reply. “All right, then,” the girl flared

a lucky kid," Wahoo Joined in. “Why can’t I live with you fellers?” pleaded the boy. ’You promised wo’d be together all the time.” "Shucks,” Wahoo soothed him. ’"We’re quartered only about a hundred yards from this house an’ you can see us ail the time . . . except when we’re out on tough Jobs . . . like the last one. . . .” The ex-stage coach driver stopped short as he saw tho Major glance at him and realized that he had put his foot in It. ’’I still don’t see how that herd got across the river,” said tho officer after clearing his throat sharply. “Lopez said they did. They were sold on the other side.” “Major. I'll drink all the water in the Rio Grande If iliem steers crossed within twenty miles of us. ..Wahoo began righteously. “1 know we didn't look so good on that job, Major," Jeff interrupted him with a sheepish grin. “But it was our first. Won't happen again.” Thi :i to ease the tension he turned to Davie and added abruptly. "Y’ou crime over an' see us In the morning.” “But aren’t you going to stay for sapper?" cried Mrs. Bailey. "It’s kind of you, but . . .” It was plain that Jeff wanted to go. "Xo 'huts’ at all—you will stay,” Interrupted a clear, cool voice. They looked up and saw Amanda, Major Bailey's charming daughter, standing at the entrance to the dining i mm. "We re having baked Virginia ham. .. .” "Think we’ll be goln’, Mrs. Bailey," Jeff responded awkwardly as he fought to tear his eyes away i urn the golden haired young woman in tin- doorway. "We’ve got to fix up out quarters a little . . so we can bliep lliere tonight. ,. .” " nre smells mighty fine, that ban <: v.'ahoo sighed forlornly.
“Think we'll be going,” said Jeff “Y’ou sure know how to make yourself unpopular,” grumbled his friend when they had left the house. “D’you mind tellin’ me why you traded ham for beans?” “Couldn’t you see what was back of that invitation?” demanded Jeff a trifle pompously. ‘T’ve steered clear of her kind this long, an’ I’m satisfied.” “You mean Amanda?” A light dawned on Wahoo. “What’s tho matter with her kind?" “Oh, she’s the home-buildin’ settle-down-for-life kind. Y'ou know how It is with me ... it’s always here today, gone tomorrow. Once a gal like her gets apron strings ’round a man, that’s his finish.” The next morning at breakfast Jeff's determination to steer clear of apron strings seemed a little more logical, even to Jeff, as he listened to the scraps of conversation around the big table In the mess hall. "Hey, Pete—did ya hear 'bout Colonel Drake?” one Ranger shouted to another above the rattle of dishes. “He collected him twelve thousand gold fer them long horns he sold to Mexico." “Whe-e-e-," Pete whistled through his teeth. “An’ 1 heard Drake's gittin’ another herd together.” “The Major’s sendln’ a couple of boys to guard a paymaster for that new railroad they’re startin’ to build up around Dallas," Interrupted another Ranger. Jeff and Wahoo put down their coffee cups, wiped their lips with the back of their hands and wandered outside. “1 don’t see the Major glvin’ us any of them big Jobs,” grumbled Wahoo. “Not after that masterpiece you told him—about drinking the Rio Grande dry,” grinned Jeff as be rolled a cigarette with one hand.

“Therese, move the gentlemen’s stuff right back. I’ll help you.” “Y’ou know, women are gettin’ out of hand,” Jeff remarked loudly to Wahoo as he mounted the corral fence and calmly watched the two furious women moving their stuff back into the cabin. “Tho modern girl today talks right back to a man —like she was his equal. Suppose 1 stood by an’ submitted to this lady'* whim? The next step she’ll bring over a pie she baked with her own little hands. That’s to sell you the idea what you’re missin’ bein' single. .. “Wal, you can always eat tho pie and tell her it give you Indigestion,” answered Wahoo softly as Amanda came out of the cabin and marched toward her home. “Besides, you got a lot of license to be thinkin’ of that gal at all. We got ourselves to think about—an’ Sam.” Amanda stormed Into the living room to find a telegrapher from the small town adjacent to the Ranger camp in the act of handing a telegram to her father. •Timm ...

SOUTH AFRICA F.XPORTS MORE WINE TO BRITAIN CAPE TOWN (UP)—South African exports of wines have increased forty-fold in the past ten years, and a large part of the increase is attributed to the preference granted by Britain. The preference began in 1919 with 12 cents a gallon on light wines and was raised to 25 cents in 1927 and to 50 cents in 1931 after *he Ottawa Conference. Great Britain now takes ninetenths of the Union’s total exports of wines which were 1.100,000 gallons last year. In 1926 exports to Britain were only 15,000 gallons. The export of brandy from the Union is also increasing. Canada is the best customer, having taken 16,000 gallons of last year’s total of 27,000 gallons.
