Synopsis.
CHAPTER XXV; Pete Haskell,
head of the cattlemen, holds a meet-
ing for his men who are angry at
Bartle's plan to fence in more land
for tobacco farms. Haskell goes to
Bartle with an offer to buy the
property.

"\Vby not?" he drawled. "But it'11

sand dollars — cash."
rlaskell -saved us hands angrily.
"Twenty times what its worth!
You must think you've got the whip
hand, uh?" He got up from his chair,
bitter, belligerent. "All our ranches
and stock put together won't fetch
that."•
"Why,I always thought you Lords
of all creation were worth millions,"
Bartle sneered.
;Laskey tried to keep his temper,
but it was difficult. He felt the hot:
blood of resentment suffusing his
face.
"Litten to me!" he made a final
plea. "We ranchers can raise maybe
seventy-five thousand cash between
us. Well buy—"
"Three hundred ant fifty thousand
— or nothing." Bartle's smile was
infuriatingly triumphant.
Haskell could stand no more of
the banker. He turned and trudged
heavily to the door.
"I've had my say," he growled
over his shoulder. "I'm telling you
that no lob- cco man sets himself up
in -the north end of Deep \Vater
Valle•- — and that': flat. Now go on
with your blasted plans!" He storm-
ed downstairs and out, slamming the
outer door after hint until the glass
in it rattled.

battle there would be safety, profits
for him!
As the cold gray of daybreak paled
t' z eastern sky, sober -faced, solemn,
bitterly silent riders converged on
Pete Ilaskell's Half Circle H Ranch
in the north end of Deep Water
Valley.
Pete Haskell himself, with Tim
Callan, w•hd had ridden home with
him from Gold Creek, solemnly
greeted each new arrival who swung
down from his horse and entered
the ranchhouse. Twice Haskell sur-
veyed the big room which, big as it
was, soon became uncomfortably
crowded with these men of the
range who had ridden here at his
behest and were waiting for him to
tell then! what 1-e had in mind.
* * *
•'I have been palavering with Russ
Bartle." Haskell began seriously.
"But I didn't get anywhere. He
knows he's got the whip band, and
he aims to use the whip."
Luke Wallace edged closer to the
table over which Haskell spoke.
"Did you offer to buy all the
North end of the valley—as we sug-
gested?" he asked.
"Yeah, I did." Haskell's lips
tightened grimly, "But Russ has
been bookkeeping so everlasting
much that- he hasn't got any re-
spe.t for anything less than six
figures crowding one behind the
other. The price of the north end
of the valley—he says—is three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Cash!"
"That's plain highway robbery!"
cried Wallace.
"Did you tell him there wasn't
that much money in this whole
half of the country? inquired Cal-
lan.
"Of course I did," Haskell an-
swered. "But I should have known
enough not to. It didn't mean any-
thing to slim, and he cared less."
"Did you tell him we wouldn't
let any tobacco farmers squat in
the north end of the valley?" ask-
ed a whiskered oldster from the
back of the roost, his voice qui-
vering with emotion.
"Yeah—I told him that."
* 0 *
"And that if one fence went up
to keep our cattle away from the
water we've got a right to, that
we'd take the law into our own
hands?" urged Luke Wallace.
"No!" Haskell cut him off. "I've
been hoping that some of you men
have thought of something less
mangy than riding roughshod over
farmers that are only trying 10
make a living, after all."
He paused for suggestions,
glancing from man to man of the
grimfaced ranchers in front of hint.
"We're going to do something!"
Luke 'Wallace barked, "and I'm
not a young man any more, and
I've been here too long to be
driven out of !mouse and home by
any barbed wire. And since there's
no (nope of help from the law, then
we've just got to forget about the
law and use—"
"Force?" asked Haskell. "Well,"
he ,temporized, "we can do one
thing. As soon as a fence goes up
around sweet water that we trust
have, that Inc. we rip it down."
"And if that way won't work?"
V-allece snorted.
"We'll cross that bridge when
we come to it," Haskell said firm-
ly,
He had just opened his mouth
to say more when the front door
burst open so unexpectedly that
Haskell himself, as well as every
Incn present, swung around at if
yanked by wires. Eyes popped.
Jaws dropped, Men were speech-
less with amazement.
For on the threshold stood a
man in the garb of a Spanish don
of long ago, a moan with flaming
red hair beneath a cone-shaped
sombrero, and with a real kerchief
drawn tip over the lower part of
his face!

Quick Work
A filum star who married Well—
and often—found it expedient to
get a divorce in a hurry,
Her lawyer suggested Mexico.
"But I don't speak Spanish," she
protested.
"That's all right," said the IaW-
year, "Whenever there's a pause,
all you have to do is say 'Si, sr."
When she appeared in court, the
whole population of the little Mexi-
can town turned out to witness the
event. There was much emotion
and bowing, and the star said, "Si,
si," very firmly on numerous occa-
sions.
Suddenly the crowd gave a great
cheer,
"Well, I guess I'm divorced,"
she said complacently.
"Divorced, soy eye," cried her
perspiring lawyer: "you've just
married the judge!"

Q. How can I clean old coins?
A. Apply powdered whiting with
a damp clots. Or, if the coin is
placed in a raw white potato and
allowed to remain for about 12
hours, the original luster will be
restored.
Q. Blow can f remove medicine
stains from white fabric?
A. Paint the stains with tinc-
ture of idoine, then soak in a strong
solution of ammonia for 30 min-
utes, and follow by washing wall.
Q. How can I remove obstin-
ate cigarette stains from the fing-
ers?
A Use well -soaped pumice stone
and hot water. The lighter stains
can be removed with plain lemon
juice.
Q. How can I easily stitch
heavy material in the sewing
machine,
A, When stitching heavy mater-
ial, such as cretonne or canvas, rub
the seams with hard soap and the
needle will go through the material
easily.
Q, How can I prepare an in-
vigorating bath?
A, When one is tired, and every
muscle seems to ache, a warm
bath at bedtime, to which has been
added ' cup Epsom salts and 2
tablespoons " mustard, is often,
effective.
Q. How can I separate two
drinking glasses that have become
stuck together?
A Pour cold water into the in-
ner one, and place the outer one
in waren water. They will separate
readily.

that, I'm afraid, will be that.
Parents have good reasons, usually,
for objecting to a certain boy their
daughter likes. If they don't tell her
the reasons, it is because they know
she isn't mature enough to realize
Rota important they are. They only
!tope she will accept their, judgment,
and behave like the lady they've
brought her up' to be.
"This boy has a good job and
makes good money!" cries the girl.
And thinks that's all that wailers!
Her parents know more about hint
that she believes. They are not for-
bidding her to date him for the fent
of it, nor just to show their authority.
They want her to have good times—
but -with boys they can approve of.
It would be far easier for them to
say, "Go ahead. You're old enough
to know your way around" and let
her alone. But responsible parents
realize that her whole future may
depend upon the sort of boys she
dates now, and she is too precious
for them to risk a mistake.
1 hope these parents will tell their
daughter jsest why this boy is not
acceptable, and renin d her that they
put her on her honor front now on.

Sunday School Lesson
By Rev R. Barclay Warren
What We Know About Jesus:
His Nature
John 6:35-40; Colossians 1;9.20.
GoldenText—Then art the Christ,
the Son of the living God.—Matth-
ew 10:10.
Last Sunday the humanity of
Jesus was noted in the reference
made to lis birth. To -day we face
the fact of the deity of Jesus
Christ. This doctrine is the corner-
stone of Christianity.
What mere man dare make such
statements as, "1 am the bread of
life: he that cometh to me shall
never hunger; and he that believed'
an me shall never thirst"; "1 came
down from heaven, not to do /nine
own will, but the will of Him that
sent me"; 'This is the will of flits
that sent mc, that e.ery one which
seeth the Son, and believells on
hits, may have everlasting life: and
1 will raise him up at the last day".
These words are credible only on
the lips of Christ, the Son of tate
living God.
The Saviour gave many gracious
invitations hut perhaps none has
given comfort to more despairing
harts than the one, "Him that
cometh to me, I will in no wise
cast out". Men and women, their
minds distraught, their bodies
broken by sin, literally outcasts of
society, have seen a tight in the
window here. With dauntless faith
and courage they have gone out to
bless the world which had come
to despise then.. Thank God for
that wonderful promise.
Saul was a fierce persecutor of
the disciples of Jesus. But after
his conversion on the Damascus
road, he became the church's most
ardent missionary. He boldly af-

Q. Who are the first to leave the
church when the wedding ceremony
is over ands the bridal party has
departed up the aisle?
A. The ushers escort to the door
all the women who are in the
first pews, the bride's mother, the
bridegroom's. mother,. then. the
other women in the first pew on
either side of the aisle.
Q. When a -matt is accompany-
ing a woman on the street, should
he take her arm when crossing
the street?
A. Yes.
Q. Isn't it poor manners for
one to sip coffee or tea while food
is in the mouth?
A. Yes; it is much better to wait
until the mouth is clear of food.
Q. Is it alt right to use "Re-
spectfully" or "Respectfully yours"
as a close to a social letter written
to a person of social position?
A. No. This closing is usually
reserved for a business letter.
Q. Would it be good manners
for a girl to ask her dinner partner
for a cigarette?
A. Yes, if her dinner partner is
forgetful enough not to offer here
a cigarette without this reminder.
firmed the deity of Jesus Christ
who appeared to him, "We have
redemption through his blood, even
the forgiveness of sins"; he is "the
linage of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every creature"; "All
things were. created by him and for
him: and he is before all things,
and by ' him all things consist";
"That lte hl all things might have
the pre-eminence. For it pleased
the Father that in him should all
fulness dwell". No wonder Paul
was thrilled with the Gospel. Be-
cause of its power he is justified
in challenging the church unto a
"walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every
good work,"

After the first world war a group
of men told Gypsy Smith that the
world was so changed that the pro-
gram of the New Testament must
be shoved into the museum. An-
other gospel must be written.
"Who will write it?" exclaimed the
Gipsy. "The ono who writes the
program nest be willing to die for
it, and have the power to rise again
front the dead". The Gospel is still
up-to-date because it is the Good
News of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God.
