Dave dismounted again, ran to

A glance showed him that the man
was dead. He ran back to Lois.

The night was clear, and though
I there was no moon Dave could see
his way clearly in the light of the

stars. He was descending from the
last mesa to the range when sud

denly he heard the sound of rid
ers. He drew rein and listened.
In another moment the riders
' came into sight, four men riding
almost abreast But ihese men
wore riding breeches, or trousers
tied at the knee, not chaps, and it
was light enough to see that they
were not waddies.
"Hold her there, teller!" shouted
one of them, as he espied Dave
rein in.
Dave, sitting easily on the black,
waited for the four to gallop up to
him. There was no demand to eie-
vate, but each of the four had his
hand on his gun butt. It was the
horse they recognized before the
man.
"Black Dawn!" shouted the fore-
most.
"Yeah, Sims, and I'm Dave
Bruce.” answered Dave.
"The
sheriff told me this aiternoon he'd
got four deputies ridin' around the
mesa. Well, I want yuh fellers, and
I want yuh pronto.”
"Not so bad as I want you.

"Sims, yore head seemed kind of

"What the—! Lonergan? In cuffs?

"You’d best take that chance,
Sims,” said Dave grimly.
“I'm with yuh, Bruce," said
Sims. "Takin’ yuh at yore word.
But 1’11 take yore gun.”
The five turned their horses and
raced across the range. And soon
the lighted bunkhouse of the Cross-
Bar appeared, far out over the
range. Between the house and the
riders nothing was visible but the
rolling grassland.
They were nearing the ranch
house now. They could see the sil
houettes of men, passing and re
passing in front of the door, blot
ting out the lights as they moved.
“He’s there," called Dave. "He’s
gettin’ his crowd together. We got
to take Curran alive. They’ll make
a fight for it—”
His words were cut short as a
gun cracked at a distance of fifty
yards. The five had been sighted,
but the Mexican who had fired pre
maturely had extinguished Curran's
hopes of another ambuscade.
As they paused for an instant to
jam in fresh cartridges, Curran’s
voice could be heard somewhere
among _the shadows, cursing his
men. There came another volley.

Jacqueline Cochrane said she is
"delighted that the more than 3.000
women pilots In America are going
to have an opportunity to prove
their competence to serve in their
chosen field in the war'* . . . Back
of that simple statement lies the
story of Miss Cochrane’s ceaseless
efforts to gain just that opportunity
for American women.
A few
months ago, before the Air Trans
port command organised its wom
en s auxiliary (WATS), Mias Coch
rane took a group of American
women to England, where they
have been doing fine work as ferry
pilots.
Now Miss Cochrane has

FIRST AID TRAINING IMPORTANT
had at yet no large-scale
war v...urgencies to meet some are
beginning to question the impor
tance of First Aid courses and other
steps to nursing made available
since the war began. Why anyone
should doubt the value of having
learned something useful, even
though you may not have been
called on to apply your knowledge,
is difficult to see. Certainly moth
ers need have no such feeling of
wasted effort for even if the bombs
are kept away from our homes the
shortage of doctors and nurses will
mean that every mother who has
equipped herself to look after the
minor ailments of her own family
is making a direct contribution to
winning the war.
Perhaps no generation of parents
has depended on professional serv
ices in supervising their children's
health so much as the mothers and
fathers of today. This has been an
enlightened policy and the superior
health of today's young people
proves its soundness. But it should
never have resulted in a mother's
loss of ability to nurse a child at
home or to keep the doctor's visits
to a minimum. Now with doctors’
and nurses’ time at a premium
your responsibility as a home nurse
cannot be shifted except in cases
of serious illness, so if you haven't
already done so. take advantage of
the many opportunities being of
fered to take a First Aid or Red
Cross home nursing course. If you
haven't anyone to leave the chil-
dren with during the day sign up
for an evening course when Father
can be on duty at home.
One of the greatest benefits of a
Red Cross course is getting rid of
one’s half-baked ideas about wbat
to do in an emergency or how to
make a preliminary diagnosis of
illness. For if we knew nothing
we’d be better off than knowing
the wrong things, many of which
we half remember from childhood.
Another thing, your course will
make you more safety conscious, so
that you’ll spot the pitfalls In your
own home, which might otherwise
have been the scene of one of the
nation’s three million yearly acci
dents.
There may be epidemics before
the war is over since wholesale dis
ease has always been an accom
paniment of war. The woman who
is trained to nurse her own family
or lend a helping hand to a sick
neighbor will prove her value as
surely as those who have replaced
men in factories making war ma
terials or entered the military serv
ice directly.
The ambition of the Red Cross is
to have 25 per cent of the adult
population trained so that they will
know what to do when human life
is endangered. To achieve this
one-out-of-four status, it it is at all
possible either father or mother of
families with children should be
among those qualified to act effec
tively in an emergency
