Ashton Oaks — a land agent, with town lots to sell, ■ Last Week: Carrie begs Mark not to fight Oaks. But back in town, the agent looks up Mark, tries tostart a fight, Deuel ig- nores him. There h a shot. CHAPTER IV Carrie was standing there, white-faced, tense, clinging to )Mrs. Taylor's arm, when Mark. elbowed his way through the ex- cited crowd and into the darken' ing street. Mark stopped, lifted his hat to her and to Mrs. Tay- lor, greeted Ed Taylor, "Anything serious?" Taylor asked. "We just got in town when we heard the rumpus." "Nothing much," Mark answer- ed, and knew instantly that his explanation didn't satisfy Carrie Lane. "Mr. Deuel," she broke in, "it was trouble with Mr. Oaks, wasn't it?" For a moment Mark thought he read accusation in her eyes. "Miss Lane, I'm sorry," he said, "but it was." IVfark found it difficult to an - seer her while she looked so pale, frightened, and homestead- ers pressed around them, hanging on every word. Mark reddened, searched for an excuse to change the subject. Ed Taylor suggested they walk back to the hotel and Mark read- ily agreed. On the way Marktold them what had happened. q % „ HE SAW TROUBLE COMING It was Newt. Gale who had seen trouble coming — or thought he had, Mark explained. Newt was with Mark when Ashton Oaks started his quarrel. He had heard Mark tell the agent he was drunk and walk away. And Newt had seen Oaks reach for his inside coat pocket es Mark neared the door, "That was too much for Newt, I guess," Mark laughed. "Ile just couldn't wait, He grabbed Oaks' arm, and, sure enough, the agent did have a gun. It went off, The bullet shattered the glass over the bar and first thing Newt knew, everybody was piled up on the floor." Carrie was breathless, "Didn't he mean to shoot you?" "No, don't think he did," Mark was still trying to pass off the matter Lightly. "Ile was just drunk and pretty sore and Newt was over -cautious. I don't think Oaks ever intended to have it turn out the way it did." Ere laughed again. "You ought to see what he looked like after dust- ing off that floor." Ed Taylor laughed, too, and Mrs. Taylor put in with the ob- servation that people shouldn't reach for guns they didn't intend to shoot. But Mark, looking sud- denly at Carrie, noticed she wasn't laughing, Her fingers clenched and unclenched on her handkerchief and Mark was sure she was ready to cry. s * s "IS IT ALWAYS LIKE THIS?" Afterward, at the hotel, he learned how neer to crying she really was — this courageous little girl who had dared come to Sioux Springs to settle on a prairie homestead along with the stoutest of them. It was late when the Taylors left Mark and Carrie alone, They were getting op early Taylor ex- plained, to get a good start with supplies to the Claim on Rock Creek. Mark was glad Carrie did not go upstairs with them.

It was oppressively hot. The street was practically deserted. Mark leaned a, bit awk- wardly against the buildings, fuinbling with his hat, now and then stopping to wipe his fore - .head and trying to appear cool and unconcerned. But he wasn't.. "Mark --" Carrie began, but caught herself quickly and went on, "Mr. Deuel, it is always like this out here?" "Why, yes," Mark searched for an answer, then added: "That is you mean the hot summers and all?„ "I . mean," Carrie said, "is ev- erything always so—so rough and —well—ruthless? Tonight, I mean —you aright have been killed!" Mark grinned, a quiet, disarm- ing grin, ;but it was lost on Car- rie. "Oh, I don't think it was as serious as all that, Miss Lane. You stay around this country long enough and you'll see all kinds of fellows like Oaks. Can't all be like Taylor and Newt Gale and Ma Parmley, you know." "Or Mark Deuels," she smiled, then went on, sober again. "I know, I know. Everything is so big and so—so lonesome out here and_ there are so many new peo- ple. You're -so far away from anyone you know, and you can't be sure of the people you meet." "Now just how am I to take that?" Mark feigned offense, tried to snake a joke of Carrie's words. But his effort 'failed ut- terly. "Mark," Carrie said, and sud- denly her lip quivered, "Mark, I'm afraid out here, terribly afraid." y tk h "I'M TERRIBLY AFRAID" It was her first admission of the thing Mark knew the mordent he had seen her that day at Ma Parmley's, And she had called Win Mark! Suddenly, he wanted to take her in his arms, to kiss the tears out of her wide, blue eyes, to press his lips on hers, But he couldn't. Something, in- side Mark Deuel told him that he would not have kissed Carrie. Lane then had she asked him. Instead, he made a rather clumsy job of comforting this girl who suddenly seemed to have changedthe whole outlook of his Iif e. "Carrie," he started to reply, but choked on the name and be- gan all over again. "Miss Lane—. this thing's going to work ,out all right now. There's a lot of women come out here and stick it out and make good and like it. New take Ma Parmley, for instance. Wasn't even a town here when she came!" "011, she told me all about that," Carrie smiled and seemed almost to have unburdened her- self. "Said she 'et' on the grass, slept in the wagon — when the wagon wasn't being used." They laughed and Mark noted Carrie's chin tilted at a bit more determined angle again. "1 guess—I guess that affair at the salon frightened me, that's all," Carrie went on. "That, and the trip to the claim today. It was so quiet so far out and lone. some there today. The closest neighbor's a mile away. I almost Wanted to give it up when I first saw it" "Well, you aren't going to give it up now," Mark declared. "Not if the Taylors and Ma Parmley and the rest of us have anything to say about it." • He wanted to say he couldn't give up Carrie now, not if Mark Deuel had anything to Say about it, but somehow the words stuck in his throat. A moment ago he. had wanted to take her in his amus. But some fear held him back. Never had Mark experi- enced anything like this. "I guess it's getting pretty late, isn't it?" Carrie looked through the window into the dingy hotel lobby, now almost empty. "If I'm going out with the Taylors in the morning I'd bet- ter get seine. sleep; too." Mark, grinning, agreed, and they said good night. Hewatched her dis- appear. into the hotel and then swung off down the street, Vihoopintani ISSUE 3—'41 A Can Be Smart On Slim Purse Here Are Some Little Tips to Help, You To Economy I5 you can't afford new clothes, do "gay up" your fl'Ocits even if it is only for the sake• of morale.

The new- comer should also beware of potato dishes which arrive at the table . with delightful designs carved on them: It Is customary for these ingenious cooks to mash the po- tato through greasy fingers, pat it into form with grubby hands, and then trace the designs with their long finger nails.

"PLAY SAFE, MARK 1" Newt Gale hailed him as he passed the salon where he'd fount Carrie, white-faced, waiting out: side, two hours earlier. "Mark," Newt said, "I don't know as this amounts to any- thing. But this agent Oaks is inside again and pretty mean. He's bragging he's going to get you next time. Think I'd play safe, Mark.

Nigeria Women lean Matriarchy African Tribe, One of Larg- est on Continent, is Ruled by Female of the Species Woman's age-old responsibility for feeding her family has been turned into a weapon of authority ill one of Africa's largest tribes, acocrding to Dr. Jack Harris, soci- ology instructor at Ohio State Uni- versity. Dr. Harris recently returned from a 14 -month study of the Ibo Tribe in Nigeria, West Africa, with its population of 4,000,000. Fle found that the men wear the crowns and pass laws but the women --by their control of the food supply—exercise supreme veto power. When a husband proves „ recalcitrant, his food supply is cut in half. Mr. lila usually surrenders when the first hunger pangs be- gin; otherwise he arranges to buy his food from some other woman in rhe tribe. .EXPERTS AT RIDICULE The tribal women have other ways of gaining their ends - la - eluding ridicule, strikes, boycotts a1)11 curses. One incident reported by Dr. Harris happened when the women found a rule adopted bai the men not to their liking. Tile entire fem- inine population left the vll,age, taking all the children, with the exception of babies ht the nursing stage. For a day and a half the men. fed the crying Infants, cooked, car• rled venter, brought in firewood and performed the other tasks usu- ally allacateg to women, before being brought to their knees. To the victors they gave goats as peace offerings, anti -formal and informal apologies.

Decay Faster Dental Research Shows Vital Facts About Tooth Deterior- ation Plashing white teeth may have more appeal, but mottled chalky - appearing ones require far fewer trips to the dentist, according to Da Wallace D. Armstrong, pro- fessor of physiological chemistry and dentistry at the University of Minnesota. Mottled teeth, Dr. Armstrong said, show a greater resistance to decay. Data obtained from seven year's of research in a hitherto neglected field show promise of devloping an effective technique I» the prevention of tooth decay —an affliction affecting more people than any other chronic disease. FLUORINE BELIEVED KEY Dr. Armstrong's experiments have revolved around the theory that the cause of dental caries -- decay — lies in a deficiency of fluorine, an extremely active chemical substance when present as 0 gas in the enamel of teeth. High fluorine content, Dr. Arm- strong said, tends to mottle the enamel. Citing the work of H. T. Trind- ley Dean, dental surgeon of U.S. Public Health Service, i11 proving the direct relationship between 'nettled teeth and resistance to decay, Dr. Armstrong said his experiments conelusievly demon- strated that the amount of fluor- ine in sound teeth is greater than amount in carious teeth, "We have examined so many specimens," he said, "that the probability of error is about one in fife million" Controlled 'administration of fluorine in childhood would "vir- tually eliminate" tooth decay, Dr. Armstrong believes.
