it was as if so •e s: "e drug had
tired his imagination. Dark night,
Lon !y tr-il, Dead men's tongues can-
not wag. They cover 1 a mile in
gloomy silence that Prin_I: asked
ierkily:
"You think there': et-er he real
insure lure for tot,: men?"
' There certantly is he," Bartle
soothed. "Sante day one 'of these
cattleme.1 will show his guilt so
plain that even Sheriff Londe will
have to do something about it."
"Did you star think i might not
be becfnten wile are trying to ruin
us. to run us out?"
Lord, no! Who else—"
"1 don't know. The idea lust kind
hit me now. Before Steve Ran-
snnt died he said he saw lust one
ratan run away from his shed. Mike
Chapman saw lust one. Burr Ald-
man saw one. Seems like cattlemen,
from all I've learned about 'em
since I come \Vest, most always
ride it. bunches, and when they
make up their minds to do some-
thing they go ahead with a whoop
and a ' •tiler."
As if tv speed hits on his way to
eternity, there came again t h e
ghastly cry of a prowling cat.
Hastily dismounting, 'he killer
rolled Pringle over on his side.
Satisfied his work had been done
thoroughly, he turned back to his
horse. One foot was ready to hoist
him to the leather when suddenly
the misty forth of a rider loomed
up in the gloom of the trail.
It was Juanita.
Before Russ Bartle was hardly
more than aware that a rider was
approaching, Juanita had acted in-
stantly Iu a flash her gun was
boring into his middle,
"This time, hombre, you do not
ride water and escape me," she
said coldly. But her heart was
pounding. If she could take this
man prisoner to Valdez, El Ca.
ballero Rojo might wring the truth
from him.
* * *
No man ever signed his death
warrant with greater certainty than
Chris Pringle did with those words.
Suspicion was the last thing in the
world .bat Bartle could tolerate.
For, if by any chance, it, spite of
his vigilance. the tobacco men and
the cattlemen should get together
to compare notes, there would be
investigations and . . •
"Kind of late with such conclu-
sions. en't you, Pringle?" he
drawled.
1 gt,t•ss. Reckon I'll ride back
town with you later and kind
of nose around. It ain't always
detectives that dig up things that
nti^ht lead to s.,ntebody who has
n' rr ever been suspected or—"
Bartle pulled back hi- horse. His
hand dipped swiftly into his hol-
ster. His fingers gripped the gun
butt. Pringle would have died at
that moment—but the eerie cry
of a nearby mountain cat tore at
Bartle's ears, rasped his nerves.
But the respite was short. Bar-
tle's gun roared once. Pringle's body
quivered, slid sideward in the sad-
dle. FIis horse bolted in fright as
the farmer fell and lay twisted in
the mud ar.d melting sleet of the
trail,

"You don't think I killed this
man?" Bartle blustered, his eyes
on the weapon 1• the peon's steady
hand, and inwardly cursing because
his own was back in his holster.
"Him I am sure about," Ju-
anita said evenly. "But the sign
of your horse tell me you . are the
torturer who nailed a man to Don
Attero's Cross—that you are the
one who killed the farmer ht the
burning shed. Sil You write your
name where you got It is too bad
that unly now you know that the
toe -piece on the front left shoe of
your horse is not evenly worn
down."
Don', be a fool!" exploded
Bartle. "Somebody fired at us from
those gushes in back of you, From
the glimpse I caught I thought it
was some cow -puncher — but it
may have been youl See for your -
s.'1 how easy it is to shoot from
those bushes and not be seen."'
Juanita did not move. "Once to-
night I make the big mistake," she
said. "I do not look behind me,
Senor Murderer. You turn around.
Place your hands behind your back.
I tie you first, I look behind me,
si when you are in a safe place
and I know who you are.'
So this Me 'can fellow didn't
know who Russ B.irtle was! There
was still a chance for thy. banker
to save his reputation — and his
neck.
* * *
"Tie and be banged!" ' stormed,
"But you'll pay for this. 1'11 have
Sheriff h hunt you down the
minute you find on" what a fool
you've been."
Juanita was unimpressed, Experi-
ence had taugl.t her to believe her
eye in preference to her ears. She
took the rope that hung on Pcdo's
saddle and advanced on the man.
She had just throw: a loop
around the prisoner's wrists when
sudden': Bartle spun around like
a beast at bay, snarling. He flayed
Jt.anita, his fists lashing out, driv-
ing the slight girl backward re-
lentless':.,

1entlet s':, not swerving even when
Juanita's weapon spoke and flame
singed his coat sleeve.
Juanita stumbled and fell. Bar-
tle flung himself upon her, pum-
meling iter with one fist while the
other sought to snatch her gun,
But as his victim's struggles weak-
ened, Bartle remembered the gun
in his own holster. Yanking it out,
he swung the barrel to within in-
ches of Juanita's chest, His finger
tightened convulsively on the trig-
ger.

Teach Daughters
To Be Goad Wives
Here I go again on one of my fav-
orite complaints: Why don't mothers
bring up there daughters to be good
wives? Mothers
demand a great
deal of prospec-
tive sons-in-law
— an adequate
income, savings

promising posi-
tion, an accept-
able background,
neatness, good
manners, thoughtfulness.
What do they demand of their
daughters, who are so sour to marry
these chosen young men?
From their own experience they
must know how essential it is that
a girl know how to cook and to
cook well. A mother cannot honest -

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. Is it obligatory for a guest to
speak to her hostess before leaving
a reception?
A. Yes, she should express ap-
preciation of the pleasure she has
had, unless it is a very large affair
and the hostess is engaged in re-
ceiving or entertaining other guests.
Q. Is it all right to say, "Mr.
Jones, shake hands with Mr. Smith"
when introducing two men?
A. No, this expression is very
crude, If the two men are well-
mannered, they will shake hands
without being instructed.
Q. Is it permissible to break
crackers or bread into the soup?
A. No, this is not good form.
Q. Wo"ld it be all tight for a ratan
to buy an engagement ring before
he proposes to the girl?
A. No, unless he think,there is
no possibility of the girl refusing
him, Usually, though, the girl should
have something to say about the
choice r' the ring, its style, color,
and so forth,
Q. How should one place the
knife aitd fork after finishing a
course at the dinner table?
A. Parallel across the plate, with

Script Indicates
Direct Approach
Dear Mr, Arnott: I 'and your
column extremely interesting and
would appreciate a frank analysis
of my handwriting.
* * *
Your handwriting shows that you
have an investigative nature, one
that is not satisfied with superficial
answers but must delve into the
facts and pry out the right solutions.
You take a direct approach to -
lhoe things which interest you and
it is hard for you to change a thought
once you have it in your mind. This
makes you emphatic and abrupt in
speech, which ma y be inter-
preted by others as stubbornness,
but you may rest assured that it
is nothing but directness of ap-
proach and frameless. There are
signs of reticence, which indicate a
reserved and secretive nature. You
are inclined to withhold information
and to reserve your feelings, From
this I gather that your frankness
is not to be misinterpreted as talka-
tiveness
* *
Although it may seem obscure
to others, as an individualist, you
do not do things according to
accepted standards but rather desire
to sweep aside conventional things.
You ''ave ability to size up per-
sonalities as you have a sharp,
penetrating mind which sees things
in an instant.
A sensitive nature is indicated
which means that you take to heart
the criticism and remarks of others.
Keep in mind that you arevery
sentimental and exceedingly proud
of your person, especially your con-
duct, and it is this feature of your
personality that is hurt.
Vanity is strong, which means
your confidence is rather high and
this tendency to over -confidence
might lead you into difficulty when
dealing with others.
ly expect the words of the marriage
service to change her daughter into
a perfect housekeeper.
PRACTICAL HOMEMAKING
Money doesn't grow on trees. A
bride should know how much a dol-
lar will buy these days. Why
shouldn't a young husband expect
his bride to know how to spend
economically the income he pro-
vides?
A good marriage depends largely
on the ability of both young peo-
ple to give and take. Yet how
many daughters are allowed to grow
up with no consideration of the
rest of the familyt They cannot be
expected to keep a bridegroom con-
tented when they continue to de-
mand their own way.
Id a girl conies to marriage
equipped with the practical know-
ledge of homemaking, and the ideals
which a conscientious mother has
ivatilled, she has won half the bat-
tle. And she will really deserve
the fine husband she is getting.
TO "DISTRESSED MOTHER,"
"SORRY NOW": You might have
prevented your daughter's present
marriage problems if you had
taught her long ago what it means
to he a good wife.
Take her under your wing now.
Spend afternoons together, and in-
struct her in the fundamentals of
good homemaking which you ne-
glected to teach iter earlier. Now
you will have better cooperation
from Iter, since she realizes that,
having failed, she can with your
help improve herself.

Sunday School Lesson
Ezra Leads a Religious Revival
Nehemiah 8: 1-3; 5-6, 8; 10: 28-32.
Golden Text — But be ye doers
of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your uwu selves. -- 1: 22,
Nehemiah finished building the
wall of Jerusale a; just before the
annual Feast of Trumpets; and to
commemorate the great occasion the
people gathered together in the
street before the water gate, and
asked the priest Ezra to read from
the Book of the Law of Moses.
All morning until noon the great
congregation stood in silence while
Ezra and his helpers read and ex-
pounded the Word of God; and at
the finish Ezra blessed the Lord,
and the people, responding "Amen,
Amen, Amen" bowed their heads
and humbly worshipped their Cre-
ator.
As always follows careful study
of the Scriptures, understanding
and enlightenment came to these
worshippers. They realized how,
during the past years, they had al-
lowed themselves to fall into sin-
ful habits, and solemnly resolved to
do better in the future. They made
a Covenant among them that they

How Can l?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can 1 remove printing
front cloth?
A. To remove the printing from
flour and sugar sacks, cover the bags
with kerosene and let them stand
for 24 hours; then cover with cold
water, naptha soap cut up fine, and
allow to boil for 20 minutes. Then
wash as usual. If necessary, repeat
the operation.
Q. What cat I do when the glass
top of the percolator breaks and
there is no extra one on hand.?
A. Try using a small whiskey
glass over the hole. This is an ex-
cellent substitute for temporary use.
Q. How can I salt peanuts in
the shell?
A. They can be salted in the shell
if they are boiled in salt liquid and
then allowed to dry.
Q. How can I remove warts?
A. Castor oil, lemon juice, or kero-
sene, applied several times daily
for a few days, will cause them to
disappear. Applications of oil of
cinnamon three times daily will re-
move them without soreness,
Q, How cats I treat house plants
that have become infested with in-
sects?
A. Try sticking a few sulphur
matehes, heads down, into the soil
around the plants, Spraying with
a solution of naptha soap and water
is also effective.

Most folks would have thought
that the cafeteria people had already
reached the limit in their search for
novel ways of serving food. But
such is by no means the case, for
here's something new; and it is
said that restaurants with "elevator"
dining tables will soon be all the
rage.
The idea is that you sit down,
write out what you have chosen
from the menu on a slip of paper,
then shove tite paper into a slot in
the table. The slip drops to the kit-
chen below.
When your order is ready, the
table lowers itself through the floor,
and presently comes back to you
again, with your meg all nicely set
out.
What happens in case you should
want anything extra, such as an-
other pat of butter, we haven't
heard; but presumably the table
goes down and gets it, then totes
back to where you're waiting,
Should the table follow the example
of some elevators we know, and
get stack between floors--bttt why
dwell on such morbid ideas?

they lived. They also vowed that
$abhath-breaking shoud cease
among them; and that if the pagan
people offered food or other merch-

they would on no account do bus-

Another thing agreed among them
was that, in addition to their regu-

nually d .nate a certain sunt — one
third of a shekel — for the service of
the House of God. In brief, those
