CHUNGKING, January 18 (ZP)
— The Chinese Communist party
today issued a formal statement
demanding that the government
forces withdraw from all places
it charges they occupied after
the deadline for cessation of
China's civil strife.
The Communists asserted that
since the agreement was reached
government forces have occupied
fourteen Chinese towns.
It appears the two factions are
almost as far from agreement as
when the truce was signed.
Exclusive designs in Ice-teas,
Sherbets, .Goblets, Cocktails
and Plates.
The NUTRENA way, the costs are low
it takes so little mash to do the job.
Especially if you raise your chicks in
battery brooders, get NUTRENA feeds.

The confidence Sandra had dis-
played In Porter’s was not with her
when she was back at the Mesquite
Ranch. Although she had appeared
as unconcerned as Gordon Adams
on their return trip, actually his
silence had made her uncomfort-
able.
She was glad to be back In her
own quarters, even though she still
was as ill at ease as she had been
when cringing inwardly beneath
Gordon Adams’ disapproval. Spen-
ser was there waiting for her. Bet-
ter still, he was delighted to see
her.
"What’s In the big box?” he In-
quired. “Ranch clothes for me, by
any chance?"
“No, dear.” Her auburn brows
were lifted in astonishment. "I’m
sorry. I didn't know you wanted
ranch clothes.”
The British youngster looked as
uncomfortable as she was feeling.
During their first days at the Mes-
quite he had been most emphatic
In his low opinion of cowboy attire.
He sat down on a yellow leather
davenport, beside his guardian.
“Naturally, rd not wear them
every day, Sandra. Just here on the
Mesquite.” He glanced disgustedly
down at his bare knees. “I feel
def’nlt'ly absurd In these English
oxfords and long socks and these
trousers.” A wistful sound entered
his voice. “Besides, if I had boots
I’d be taller.”

job apparently gave an inmate of

Wright said Luther Boggs, serv-
ing two years, and a guard wpre
adjusting the brakes, and the
guard told Boggs to drive the car
around the circle fronting a main
building.
Boggs drove into the circle, >
then kept going. The sheriff at
Bel Air, 50 miles away, nabbed
Boggs several hours later.
Taller than Belinda. That was
what he meant. Sandra knew that
and had all she could do to keep
from making the horrtblt mistake
of giggling.
She bit a smile from her lips.
"You shall have them. Spenser. Im-
mediately."
"Not immediately," he corrected
gently. "Good boots are made to
order, y’know.”
Am I going through that again,
the girl wondered. "That’s right,
dear." ,
“It takes time, y’know, Sandra."
“Yes, dear," she said again.
“That’s why I wish I’d known you
wanted western clothes. I’d have
ordered them today when Mr.
Adams and I went to La Madera.”
“That reminds me—how did you
happen to go to the city with Mr.
Adams?” The boy frowned a bit
“When Brody told me where you’d
gone—by jove, Sandra, I was
amazed. I scarcely could believe
my own ears—I say, do you like
him?" His frown deepened.
“Not particularly." Again San-
dra bit at her lips, this time, how-
ever, not to deaden a smile, but to
prevent her saying more than she
should against Belinda's father.
"He asked me to go with him and
help select Belinda's birthday
gifts. So I did.”
Again the large box attracted
Spenser’s Interest. He slipped a fin-
ger beneath Its wrapping twine.
“And this is it? Tell me, what is
in it?" he asked a second time.
“A dress.”
“Not one of those bally affairs
with a flower garden on it. I hope.”
So even Spenser had wisdom
enough to know the dress Belinda
had worn at dinner was an atrocity.
Such aduit knowledge, though fre-
quently evident In the boy, always
surprised her.
“This dress,” she assured the
English child, “is a dream dress.
When Belinda puts tn on, ihe will
be a different person."
Spenser’s question was so point-
ed that it taunted. "Do you think
she will put It on?"
"I don’t know.” Her little charge
had simply spoken Sandra’s own
worries. She took the other, smaller
Porter package from her purse and
handed it to Spenser. "Here. This
Is a charm bracelet for you to give
her.”
"But, Sandra, dash it all, 1 have
Belinda’s present It’s in the bath-
room.”
"What do you mean, ‘it’ ?”
"A puppy. An Irish setter.”
"How did you know she wanted a
Puppy?"
"I didn’t But 1 do now. She
thinks It is mine. And she Is so
angry," he reported happily, "that
she won’t even speak to me.”

CHAPTER NINETEEN
S ANDRA SAID, tn answer
Gorcor Adams’ sharp question:
went to give Belinda a dress."
"A dress? You must be crazy!”
The Color flared beneath his recent-
ly deepened tan. “And there Is no
doubt that you are insulting. You
v n.">t to buy a dress for Belinda
/•.cams as If she were some home-
l*-M waif. That's a hot one!" His
chest all but vibrated with his en-
ter. *
“Keep your voice down, please."
The quiet of Sandra's order some-
how made him obey.
"Skeeter probably has 40 or 50
dresses ’*
“Poor child. If they all look like
the one she had on at dinner last
night, I can only say again, poor
child.”
“Why. 1 never beard of such in-
sufferable—”
Sandra's chin clicked upward
and those fiery sparks brightened
her topaz eyes. “Why is It so in-
sulting to give her a dress and so
wonderful to give her a pair of
boots?"
The man seemed to hug the boots
tighter against him. "Because these
are special—they are made to or-
der. Oh," he ground out wearily,
“why should I try to explain to an
easterner what good boots mean
here in the West?” He said again:
“They are special."
“And this dress will be special,”
Insisted the red-haired girl. “I can’t
make her a made-to-order dress. I’d
like to, but there isn’t time. Be-
sides, it is against the doctor’s or-
ders. 1 can’t even thread a needle
or pick up a pair of scissors with-
out getting shakes as bad as
yours.”
“Then forget It, Miss Edwards."
The man started out of the store.
Sandra followed directly after
him, that Is, until she reached the
dress racks. Then she stopped,
grabbing hold of Gordon Adams’
arm at the same time, so that he
was forced to stop.
"I refuse to forget It I want to
look at the things here. I’m sure
I can find something that will
please her.”
"You couldn't please her!”
Sandra gave a little sarcastic
smile. Wakeman and Benet were
most familiar with it; it usually
cost them money. The ranch owner
was not familiar with the smile,
but it was going to cost him also.
The pleasure of having his own
way.
"How odd. when I’ve pleased so
many persons. Remember," stated
the girl, “that Sandra Edwards Is
a clothes authority. Clothes have
been iny entire life for several
years. If I.” she said with smug-
ness. “so much as select a dress
from that rack. It proves that it Is
a better than average dress or I’d
not have noticed it In the first
place." Her manner was infuriating
Gordon Adams. She Intended that
It should.
“Belinda doesn’t like dresses."
His jaw was angrily out-thrust.
“And I don’t blame her.” Sandra
continued her cold derision. “The
sort of dresses that are put on that
child shouldn't put on a rag
doll.”
“There’s nothing like a stranger
telling you how to run your life.”
“I seem to remember your ask-
ing me to come with you.”
"Sure. To help me select some-
thing extra for Skeeter. Something
she would like. I didn't ask you to
go loco and stage a battle right in
the middle of Porter's."
“You’re the one who Is making a
disturbance. You arc the one who
is yelling."
Further enraged by the girl's
placid manner, Gordon Adams
mumbled rudely: “Don’t bother
helping me with an extra gift I’ll
do it myself.”
“That’s fine." The red-haired
girl’s voice was sugar and cream.
“That way I can devote all my time
to selecting her dress.”
“If you must make a fool of
yourself!"
