They know damn well , , an ’they ain’t gonna overlook a chance to get him to make a break that’ll bust it. So, any time foi- the next year an 'a half, if yo’re with Slim an’ yuh run into somethin* where there's fightin' to be done, I want yuh to shove Slim aside an’ take over the quarrel yore- selves. Savvy?” Roy flexed his big shoulders, “An* won’t we though!” he barked. “Shore an* does either of them Brockwells try an’ start somethin’ when I’m around an’ I'll shove me down their gullets I” Steven Oewns laughed. Roy’s statement goes for Dakota. What happened trouble started in town?” Dakota outlined the events since he and Slim had struck Pinnacle. When he- finished, Stoney Sheard nodded, “Alius did have my doubts about Jig_- ger Starbuck,” he drawled, “Too self- centred, duty-struck an’ cold-blooded to my way of thinkin’. Time’s cornin’ on'this range when hell is gonna pop. I’ve told yuh somethin’.” "Let ’er pop,” said Charley Quinn. "I an’ 'Steve can do a little poppin’ ourselves when necessary.” Roy snorted. “Cheeky young cubs, yuh are. Should a spavined jack-rab­ bit kick yuh in the pants, yuh’d come runnin’ home here to Roy for help.” “That so?” yelped Charley. “C’mon Steven; let’s get him, the red haided, stuck-up ape.” Instantly there was a tangle of arms and legs, and the three punch­ ers were on the ground, mauling and tugging and laughing. “I’ll show -yuh,” grunted Roy. “Gang up on ole Roy, will yuh? I’ll knock a lick 0’ sense' into yuh.” Sure enough, in about a minute Roy was on top of both of them. He cuff­ ed their hair over their , eyds and spanked them resoundingly with open ^palra, whenever a tight-stretched area of blue jean overalls showed. “Enough,” yelled Steve. “Ow-w! I’m plumb blistered. Won’t be able to sit down for a week. Lemme up, yuh wild buckaroo. Doggone yuh, yuh got a hand like a fence board. Oscar, help! Pull him off.” Oscar grinned, grabbed Roy by the shirt collar and the slack of the pants and' lifted him clear, much as an ordinary person lifts a kitten. “Now yuh bane nice boys or I lick all of yuh,” he boomed.- . Roy squinted up at the cook, his blue eyes twinkling. “ ’Tis a whale of a man yuh are, Oscar,” he, approv­ ed. “Should we combine Ireland an’ Sweden we’d be after lickin’ the world.” Oscar grinned wider-than ever. “We bane make a dent in somebody. Now I go to work. Dinner bane ready in half an hour.” Dakota had watched the mauling match with a contented grin. Even grave-faced Stoney Sheard had a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. There was nothing wrong with the morale of the Circle L Rranch. It was a happy family if there ever was one, and Slim Loy ale was assured of plenty of backing in his forthcoming battle for exoneration and respect. Slim spent that first afternoon alone. He never left the house, in fact. He drifted from one room to another, and in every room there were memories that dug and hurt. The house was vacant, yet somehow it was peopled — filled with the shad- ,owy presence of Bart., Loyale. (Continuedt Next Week) might have been somebody else.” ...... , .......

"One thing shore, yuh on standin1 for a lot of that parole of yores is finished. Didn’t yuh take notice how quick .Starbuck jumped at the conclusion that yuh were in trouble, the second he stuck his haid in the Wild Horse? It look­ ed kinda funny’ to me.”’ -“Jigger Starbuck has been sheriff in these parts a long time, Dakota. An’ all in all, he’s been a pretty fair sheriff.” "Yeah, he has been that. Lately, though, lie seems to be slippin*. Yuh notice the Vasco stage is bein’ held up pretty regular. An’ the Dot H' Dot is still Iosin’ cattle. I’m plumb convinced that the Circle L would have been Iosin’ them too, only I’ve kept our boys ridin’ steady an’ keep­ in’ a close watch.” “I didn’t tell yuh that the month before last, some sidewinder took a shot at me one day, while I was rid- Then again, they might have Whatever the to find out gotta figger insults until with the the low- And he stepped over to deliberately wring Slim’s hand* No longer in doubt as to how the I feeling was running in the Wild | Horse just now, Sarg Brockwell herd- led Leo through the door ahead of | him.

Starbuck hesitated a moment before leaving. “Remember, Blue; the law swings just as wide a loop for yuh as any­ body else.” "Aw, hell!” snorted Dakota. “Al­ ius prattlin' about vore gol-blasted law. Who’s breakin* it anyhow? Just remember yoreself, Starbuck — yuh may be sheriff, but yuh ain’t Gawd Almighty. An’ that self-same loop yuh speak of would fit yore should- j ers as well as mine. C’mon Slim, Joe, | in’ along Nigger Ridge on the way Spud; I’m buyin’ a drink.” Being left this pointedly out of the invitation, Jigger Starbuck cursed softly beneath his breath, then left the place. Ten minutes later, Slim Loyale and Dakota Blue r >de north out of Pin­ nacle. A survey of the street show­ ed that Sarg and Leo Brockwell had evidently pulled out ahead of them.

Hall, a neighbor and life-long friend 1 of Slim Loyale. * * ♦ For just a moment a wary film seemed to shadow Starbuck’s eyes. 'Then he gripped himself. “Well, what’s wrong then?” he demanded. "Who .did that shootin’?” “I did—part of it,” answered Da­ kota. "I just nicked Sarg, darn the luck. He blew a hole in Spud’s floor." “Yeah, I can see that,” snapped Starbuck testily. “But bow’d the trouble start? Who’s responsible for this?” “He is,” bawled Spud Dillon, still bubbling with wrath and pointing at Leo. “He made a dirty crack at Slim. He did it just on purpose I’m bettin’, to try to get Slim to make a gun­ play, knowin’ that if the kid did, his parole would be busted sky-high. But Dakota stepped in an’ walloped him one. Then Sarg pulled his gun first. He’d ’a’ got Dakota, too, if Joe Roon­ ey hadn’t tripped him up with a cue.' Joe, I’m raisin’ yore wages for that.” “Listens good,” growled Starbuck, stepping over to Slim. "Lemme see yore guns, Loyale.” "Let him have ’em, Slim,” caution­ ed Dakota. ‘“Shore, I’m beginnin’ to see through lots of things.” “Meanin’ just what, Blue?” Star­ buck whirled and faced Dakota, his head thrust forward. “What’s it mean to yuh?” retorted Dakota easily. “Don’t get too touchy Starbuck, or folks will begin thinkin’ things." Starbuck licked his lips, then turn­ ed to Slim. One after the other he twitched out Slim’s guns, punched out the shells and squinted through the barrels. As he returned them, he frowned at Sarg Brockwell. “Go easy ,on startin’ things, Brockwell,” he ord­ ered. “An’ tell that cub of yores to button his lip. I won’t stand for trouble around here—none whatever.” Dakota, watching Sarg and Star­ buck carefully, thought he caught jus’t a glint of understanding pass in the quick glance they exchanged. LBrockwell nodded. “Call it our fault ' this time,” he growled. “But we ain’t forgettin’ at no time. An’ that goes for yuh an’ yuh,” he finished, indicat­ ing both Spud Dillon and Joe Rooney. “See if we care!” yelped Spud. “I got somethin’ off my chest what’s been gaggin’ me for some time, Brockwell. I shore read yore walk­ in’ papers. As for Joe, well, I alius knew he was a good man. He shofe demonstrated it today.” Rooney’s wrinkled face creased in­ to a grin and he gnawed a piece off a plug of tobacco. “Me,” he twang- once they’ll try an’ do it again. It ed, “I ’ve live a long time, and I’ve might have been Starbuck, and it of his office, his face expres- 1 home from our Jericho Valley range. Well, he did. An’ if I hadn’t happen­ ed to lean forward just then to knock a hoss-fly offn’ my broncho’s neck, I’d ’a’ been a good Injun. right now. I tell yuh, Slim, somethin’s movin’ around this range that’s got me on the lookout plumb continual.” Slim nodded. “That was kinda barefaced, back in Spud’s place.

For several miles Slim and Dakota rode in silence. Slim was thoughtful, his eyes steadily upon the trail ahead. Finally he looked up. “Dakota, in’ at with to Starbuck?” he asked. Dakota grunted.' "Just prospectin’ some an’ seein’ if I couldn’t turn up a little pay dirt.” “What kind uf pay dirt?” “What kind d’yuh suppose, Slim? Look at it this way. Yuh an’ me know yuh were framed'.

Don’t let anybody devil yuh into makin ’a play yore guns, leastwise not until parole is up.” “It’s tough,” said Slim a hoarsely. “I’m touchy as hell now. I did a lot of thinkin’ back there at Jarillo, an’ it didn’t sweeten me none. My pride is plumb ragged an’ easy to scratch. But yuh got the right idee, Dakota. I’ll remember that.” An hour later the two riders drew rein before the Circle L ranch house. At sight of it, Slim’s throat thick­ ened. Home! And yet, it was not the home that it had been. For it was empty now—devoid of that grizzled, kindly, booming-voiced presence that had been Bart Loyale, Slim’s father. There was a group of punchers at the corrals, and as Slim dismounted, one by one they came forward to shake Slim’s geetings were cere. The Circle besides Dakota Blue, the foreman. There was Roy O’Brien, short, par­ rel-bodied, red-headed; a fighting, square-shooting, explosive little Irish­ man. Steve Owens and Charley Quinn were inseparable pals, fun-lov­ ing, rollicking boys; both game to the core and very faithful to their hire. Stoney Sheard was a middle-aged puncher, silent, still-featured, gruff and unsmiling, who had probably been closer to old Bart Loyale than any of the other punchers.

".Pretty badly cut up, Slim is,” he said gruffly. "He’s home now, an’ Bart ain’t here to meet him. Don’t speak of the Ole Man to him unless Slim brings up the proposition first,” Roy O’Brien’s eyes were all squint­ ed up, “The pore laddy,’ ’he mutter­ ed. “Shore, an’ me heart aches ter him, He’s a fine lad, Slim is, and he’ll be after carryin’ on man-size.” Dakota nodded.

For the infant, milk is a perfect food; for the growing child, milk and its products are essential foods; and for adults they are the most important foods. The nutritive value of milk is un­ ique, and milk should be regarded as the foundation of the diet. Milk is the best all-round food, as it contains more of the materials* essential to growth and health than any other an­ imal food. Milk furnishes more of the elements for body building and en­ ergy producing than any other food commodity at the same cost. There is no waste — every ounce of milk bought may be used. Milk may be served in many ways. Milk combines well with mariy other foods. Milk preparations require lit­ tle fuel to cook. Milk may be pur­ chased in different forms.
