s CHAPTER TWO
•;Young Lamprey was under
pressure, He knew he was no
snatch for one of these rough
hard-bitten punchers, far less all
of thein. And back of all his
churning thoughts was fear, a
paralyzing dread of what was to
come. But there was courage in
him. He shook his head.
The fat little roan, Pete Yeager,
spoke to Jesse Lamprey.. "If you
don't want a cutter bent over the
kid's head tell him to get the hell
out here," -
hrom 'a dry throat the older
brother mumbled, "Better gd,
Phil." He added, with a: thin un-.
• happy smile, "We're having; a little
powwow." •
"You bet we are," Prentiss
jibed, forgetting for the moment
the younger brother. "When you
got back from Santa Fe you hot-
footed it up Tincup Creek. Why?"
"A Little Powwow'.' -
The worried eyes of Jesse
shifted. "I was looking for some
strays that got off'their range."
"See Bat Overstreet?"
The answer seemed to be drag-
ged out of Lamprey, "Come to
. think of it, I did yell 'Howdy' at
him."
"You and him had yore heads
together half an hoar."
"Just swapping windies. But
I don't reckon it was more than
a few minutes."
"See Allison?"
.Again there was the reluctant
dragging answer, VI ]night have,
but—"
"Make up yore mind. Did you
or. didn't you?"
"I . . . bumped into him." •
"Been bumping into a lot of
our enemies lately, haven't 'you?"
A denial of 'the implication
burst: from the lips of the accus-
ed man. "It's not the way you
think, Jud. I'li go see Russ Mose-
ly. P11 tell, him—"
"You'll tell him nothing," in-
terrupted Prentiss harshly. "Russ
don't want to see you. He's got
yore number, you damned double-
crossing coyote."
"1 swear—"
The big gunman rode hien down.
"You know what happens to
coyotes when they're trapped," he
said brutally. "Their hides aro
hung on a fence to dry."
Sneve murmured something in
the ear of Prentiss, who swung
around on the younger Lamprey.
"That's right, I told you to
get outa here, kid,"
"Jesse and I both," the boy
said stubbornly, and added quick-
aft:

ly as the heavy -set bow-legged
cowboy moved toward him, "1'm
not' armed."
Prentiss doubled his great fist
and'measured, the distance. Be-
fore he' could "lash out with it a
voice from the poker table stop
ped him,
"Do your instructions cover
beating up the kid too, JudV" Sil-
cott asked quietly. •
The bully stared at him, for
the moment r'lung off his 'stride.
"What's that?" he snarled.
"You're• Noe So Important r
"You .'heard, nae," -Jim said
evenly. Not a lean muscle of his
light body moved. Only the deep
blue eyes were quiekiwith life.
"You declaring yourself in?"
the Hat T foreman asked rough-
ly,

Iy •
"Do I have to declare myself,
Jud?" the newspaper man added
with cool scorn. "Isn't my name
already on the Mosely black Bet?

when it can be dope safely with,
out witnesses."
"Hell! You're not so damned.
important. Who cares how many
witnesses see you cash in?"
It was a rhetorical question, but
Silcott answered it literally.
"Why, Russ Mosely, for one. Nice
secret murders for the Bat T
maybe okay with Russ. All in the
way of business, of course. I
wouldn't know about that. But
Russ doesn't crave publicity, ex-
cept when he is making a Fourth
of. July oration or a contribution
to the church. You ought to
know your'boss better, Jud. He's
no hell -roaring wolf, but a res-
pectable mealy-mouthed hypocrite
whet doesn't 'advertise Itis strong
arm stuff except when it's neces-
sary to set an example. Get the
results neatly is his motto."
A Daring Challenge
The foreman glared at Sileott
.angrily. There was a cool inso-
lence about the youth that set
him apart. Nobody else within
fifty miles would dare to speak
of Russell Mosely in public.
"You'll talk yourself into a wood-
en box one of these days soon,"
Prentiss warned savagely.
"Like Rogers did,"
The audacity of the challenge
choked for a moment the words
in the big man's throat. For Carl
Rogers had been editor- of the
"Powder Horn Sentinel" before
Silcott and he had been shot down
from ambush one night as he was
leaving the office: The editor
had been leading the fight for
the settlers who had bought under
the Armijo land grant claim, just
' as his successor was doing now.
Nobody knew positively who had
fired the shot, but Prentiss and
two of his men had been seen
riding out of town a few minutes
later. •�
The stormy eyes of the fore-
man clashed with the steady hard
ones of this redheaded editor who
walked into peril and through it
with a jauntiness that was amaz-
ing, Jud had a wide reputation
ss'a dangerous man, It was part
of, the stock in trade with which
he ruled the wild reckless em-
ployees of the Hat T. At the
drop of the first hostile word, he
was ready to flght. Most men
sidestepped him when he was en-
raged. It was known he had killed
two men, and .there were whis-
pered rumors out • of his obscure
past that spoke of others. But
Jim Silcott had always showed a
cheerful unaancern at his holler
and this affected and as a red
rag does a bull. Prentiss himself
did not know why he had not
trampled down the fellow's im-
pudence, but some deep -hidden
caution had restrained him, This
puzzled and irritated Jud, for he
was not afraid of any than alive.
Yet for some reason he had al-
ways postponed the . showdown
that had to come,
"If you claim I had anything
to do with Roger's death—"
Prentiss did not finish the sen-
tence, His blazing eyes, the .dark
rage purpling his face, were more
potent than any words.
"Any claims I make will .be in
the 'Sentinel,' subscription price
one dollar a year," J9•11 answered,
his voice low, almost gentle.
"Don't put my name .in that
paper ever, unless you want to be
in trouble up to yore hocks," the
foreman ordered.
"Mayn't I' even say that the,
editor had a pleasant chat with
Mr. Jud Prentiss of the Hat T,
who was in town with some of his
riders Thursday?" . Jim asked
with light effrontery.
The ranch bossturned to his
men with a gesture of strangled ,.
fury. "Let's get onto here- be-
fore I bump off this fool," the
growled.
From Sneve's thin lips a ciues-
tion dropped. "Why not now,
Jud, since he's asking for it?"
"No, not • now," Prentiss blurt-
ed out.
No More Poker
His fingers fastened on the
quirt suspended from his wrist.
He caught Jesse Lamprey by the
coat collar. The whip whistled
through the air and wound itself
round the lege of his victim.
Lamprey let out a shriek of pain
Again and again the lash fell.
Phil tried to help his brother, but
Sneve's strong arms held ` him
back. At last Prentiss flung the
sobbing man to the floor. His
• strong bow-legged stride carried
hiss through the swing doors to
the street,

Mother's Day
Made Happy
There Are Many Nice Ways
'To Mark It -The Home Visit
and Letters. Among Most Ap.
-predated
Although the English Mothering
Sunday has been obserded' for
Many, many years and Mother's
Day is an anniversary of compar-
atively recent origin on this con-
tinent there is. a strong similar-
ity between the formerand the
original idea of the latter: That
Mdther's Day would ever become
as intensively;commercialized as it
has in the past few•years was not
in the intention of the founder
in Philadelphia, who meant it to
be a day of tribute, of tribute ex-
pressed in consideration and
thoughtfulness for living mothers,
and 'tribute of remembering those
who, had passed away.
The idea of observing such a
day is a worthy one, for there is
no doubt that all a mother does
in the home and all site means to
her family is too often just taken
for granted, and while eonsidera-
tion should be the order of the
life of everyday, it does no harm
to think especially of these things'
on. Sc :special day.
There is something very beau-
tiful in the idea back of the Eng-
lish Mothering Sunday. Observed
in mid -Lent this is believed to
have had its origin many, many
.years ago in the custom of bring-
ing gifts on that day to the
mother church. It, meant also a
reunion of children who had gone
from home as they visited their
homes at the sante time, and in
later years it Came to be especi-
ally a time of family reunion, with
the children gathering at home
to see their parents and also go-
ing together to the home church.
It .amount a renewal of home as-
sociations and a time pf tribute
to the mother.
It is that tribute to mothers
that is back of the observation of
Mother's Day also. No harm in
expressing that tribute in tang-
ible gifts. Indeed, it a pleasant
custom, butthereare other things
that mean avail more to tuost mo-
thers that should be observed too
—a visit from thechildren away
from home when that is possible;
the regular letter home, than
which there is no greater appre-
ciated proof of continued affec-
tion and interest of the children
far from home; adherence to the
principles of a mother's wise
teaching, and many other intang-
ible expressions of tribute that
oath individual heart knows best
itself how to express.

Of course, weight may be a gen-
eral problem. An overweight with
disproportionately large legs needs
to diet to lower her weight, If her
leg muscles are flabby, special ex-
ercise will bring about a marked
improvement. The thin girl with
underdeveloped legs must have
more calories to gain on, plus exer-
cise to round out the leg contours.
To lose weight, overweight with
thin legs needs n similar set of
exercises along with her diet.
