SYNOPSIS
As Jim Silcott, redheaded edi-
tor of the "Powder Horn, Senti-
nel," sitsplaying solitaire wait-
ing for' a game of draw in the
Trail's End in Blanco, Jim Pren-
tiss, foreman of the Hat T ranch,
and four of his riders enter, Jud
with his arm hooked under that
of the reluctant Jesse Lamprey.
Jud accuses Lamprey of double-
crossing Russell Mosely, owner of
the Hat T, in connection with the
Armijo land-grant feud and Jesse
is in fear of his life. His younger
brother Phil appears and refuses
to leave when Jud tells him that
he and Jesse have, business to
discuss. Jud is about to strike
Phil when Silcott asks if Mosely's
orders include beating up the boy.
Jim has taken sides in the "Sen-
tinel" against Mosely in the feud
and Jud turns angrily on him.,
Jim knows he is a narked man
but refers to the murder from
.ambush of Carl Rogers, then edi-
tor of the "Sentinel." Bully that
he is, Jud turns from Jim and
plies quirt on Lamprey until
Jesse falls writhing to the floor.
Jud and his men leave and it is
later that night, just as Anne
Eliot alights from the stage coach,
that she hears a pistol shot. A
redheaded man's hat is whisked
from hia head, he calmly recovers
it, runs to the shelter of a door-
way, and as a Hat T man fires
from the middle of the wide main
street he drops in his tracks. The.
redheaded man disappears into
the build:ng. Somebody yells that
Silcott has "lit out" and to sec
tyhother Buck Sneve is dead.
CHAPTER IV
A Woman Editor
"I'll take a chance;" Pete Yea-
ger said. "Tim Silcott is nobody's
fool. He's on his way." The fat
little Hat T rider waddled out of
the shadows and knelt down be-
side the prone body. A few mom-
ents later he made his report.
"Plumb dead. Shot spang through
the heart, lookf, like."
Out of saloons and stores men
trickled. They picked up the
sprawled figure and carried it into
the Trail's End. Yeager looked
down at the long body lying an a
bench.
"He sure was asking for it,"
Pete said. "Started the rookus
tonight and the rest of us came
m to back him."
Prentiss looked at him with
sour anger. "What you mean,
Buck started it? Sileott lay in
wait for us and plugged Buck
before we could stop him. Sure
as Pin a foot high I'll get him for
this."
Yeager grinned cynically. So
that was to be the stony. "I meant
that Buck was the first one ho
began shooting at," he explained.
Ante walked in the stage of-
fice, her long slim legs a little
shaky. Site sat down 'on a dry -
goods box.
The local manager filled a tin
dipper with water and brought
it to her. "Sorry you had to see
anything so upsetting, lady," he
said,
She took a few sips from the.
dipper. "I was just thinking how
quiet and peaceful the town was
when when it happened," she
told him.
"So it is' most of the time," he
explained. "We don't have a

times a year. Of course the boys
kick up their heels some after
dark, but they don't mean a thing.
Just high spirits."
"Just High Spirits"
"Is , . is the man dead?"
"I heard some one say he was."
The girl 'did not discuss the
matter further: "My name is
Anne Eliot, Can you tell me
where the hotel is?"
"Pleased to meet you, Miss. My
name is Hilary Benson." He
scratched his thinning hair. There
was no hotel in town. The prin-
cipal rooming house was over the
Jumbo saloon, but it was no place
fora lady. All night long an in-
ferno of noise rose from the
dance' hall. "Ma Russell runs a
boarding house. I dunno whether
she is full up or not. I'll take
you round there."
"If it isn't too much trouble,
Mr. Benson." }
Anne was agreeably surprised
at Mrs. Russell. She was a good-
looking plump woman who radi-
ated health and friendliness.
Though all her rooms were taken
she at once said she would find a
place for Anne.
"I'1! make Rufe Jerks move
over to the Jumbo," she said.
And she added, slanting a look
at the girl. "Will you be staying
long? I mean, will you want the
room some time?"
"I'm not quite sure," Anne
answered. "I haven't made up
my mind. And I don't like to
drive another lodger from you."
The landlady made nothing of
that. "Rufe is in town only a'
few days, and he doesn't care
where he sleeps. But you can't
stay at the Jumbo. Some crazy
druulc is likely to start shooting
up the street in the night."
"They don't always wait for
night, do they?" Anne suggested.
"You were there when Buck
Sneve was killed?" Mrs, Russell
said quickly.
"Yes. It was just as the stage
got in. Doyou know what it
was about?"
"Ori, about the land grants, I
suppose. The feeling is bitter
because so many people's property
is involved. If it is any comfort
to you, Buck Sneve was a bad
roan. He deserved what he got.
Red had to kill him to save him-
self."
The New Room
"Yes, I saw that," Anne did
not know why, but from the first
moment site had seen the lift of
the red head she had been on his
side.
Mrs. Russell led the way up-
stairs to a bedroom that Anne
liked at Ince, The rag carpet,
the chintz curtains and the big
comfortable armchair gave it a
homey loop. And it 'was immac-
ulately clean. Mrs. Russell called
to 0 .man and asked rum to send
Rufe up.
The attractive young cowboy
presented himself with a wide
grin. As soon as he knew why
be had been called he offered to
vacate immediately. Girls as
pretty as Anne did not come his
way often, though he would have
given up the room to any woman
who needed it.
"I'll take my war bag out right
now and have yore grips sent
over from the stage office," he
told her.
She thanked hint, a smile in
her soft eyes reminded Rufe of
wood pansies arid gave hien- ideas
about his future,
He was back in :record time
with her bags. The trunk would
be over later, er he
promised. rornise .

She's. Better Shopper
• Than .Granny Was '
' The modern miss is a . better
:shopper than.. her grandmother
ever was, according to Mrs. Helen -
dean Doderidge, administrative
assistant to the consumer counsel
of the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture.
Mrs. Doderidge told -the home
economics division of the Florida
Vocational Association that adap-
tion of home economics studies
to everyday application had pro-
vided young women today with
more knowledge ahout•daily shop-
ping, selecting materials and get-
ting
etting the most out of the budget,
"than women ever had before."
Knitting Hints
If you have needles in nmany,
dfferent' sizes—and most of us
soon acquire a collection—de buy
a gauge.' It costs , only a few
cents, and, saves all the bother
of wondering which are "sevens"
and which are "eights," And
when you are beginning a swat -
tet., see that Wool and needles•
are Contrasting colors, thus sav-
ing your eyesight.
It is easy to keep white or
light -colors fresh and clean if you
keep your work always wrapped
in a large silk handkerchief.
Spread this out on your knee
while working, and if you have
a dark dress, tuck one corner of
the handkerchief into the front
of your neck like a bib• to pro-
tect the wool :.from rubbing
against dark material,
0 * 5
The ball of wool in use will
always keep clean if you slip' it
into a paper bag, and put a rub-
ber band round the top. You can
then safely allow the wool to lie
on the floor or any other place.
Always make joins at the end
of a row, leaving both ends -free
to 'be sewn in with the seams.
This snakes very firm joins and
prevents uneven lines on the sur-
face of the knitting.
When pressing the parts of a
knitted garment, be sure you
really press, 'and not rub the iron
backwards and forwards. Ribbing
and raised patterns should be
pressed very, very lightly, and
then only on a thick soft blanket.
And do not forget that when the
seams are finished they also need
pressing just as, any other seams
do.
Iron Woman
From a woman who has been
successfully operated on by a
Russian surgeon, the ` following
objects were recovered: Nails
from one to three inches long,
embroidery needles, broken razor
blades, twenty-four steel pins,
twenty pieces of twisted wire, ten
'sewing needles and safety pins.

How To Hang
Out The Wash
Someone once said there was a
wrong and a right way to do ev-
erything, so here's the right way
to dry your' laundry. All largo,
white things, such as sheets and
tablecloths, should be thrown one-
third over the line and fastened
very securely with pegs. Colored
things should be turned wrong
side out and /dried in the shade
suspended on the straight. Al-
ways peg so that any stripes
iron
vertically to' the ground and
never let them go horizontally cr
they may run into the next color.
Woollens should be dried in mod-
erate warmth, but not in direct
'sunshine or near a fire. Suspend
sweaters on coat hangs's or with
a broomstick pushed through In th
sleeves and wring.' the hems at
intervals to get rid, of the weight
of water. Another way to dry
' sweaters is to pull thein into shape,
and then lay them on a towel to
dry. Silks and rayons should be 1,
slung over the line and not peg-
ged, as pegs mark them. Dry in
the shade, or by an electric fait.

CHIC TRICKS
Don't overlook the best -dressed
women's trick of using neckwear,
jewelry and clusters of flowers to,
stake one 'dress. do the work' of
sevet'al. Try changing the appear-
ance of—the new navy blue dress
while it is still fairly new. Don't
wait to . buy a new collar for it
until the dress is almost thread--'
bare and you are pretty 'weary of
it.
Also,. don't discard an old eve-
ning .dress until you have consid-
ered the possibility of cutting off
the • skirt and wearing it with
sweaters or separate blouses. There
are . more ways than one to be
chic, The obvious way is to have
plenty of money and plenty of time
to shop. Any of the other ways
demands imagivation and a willing-
ness to
illing-ness,to make use. of good things
left over from other seasons,
Print Frock
Very Useful
But Be Sure The Print, the
Color and the Style of the
Dress Are Right For You
Before Buying It
Shopping for print dresses is a
Peal delight, foe the new ones are
varied, interesting, and most of the
styles are extremely ive'arable and
flattering. The lines, not extreme
in any way, are easy onfigures
of all types, and the prints are
available in patterns for every fig-
ure, too. There is a multitude of
neat, small but sprightly prints,
made into dresses that confine
their smartness to small details—
a combination that makes the dress-
es good for figures that are us-
ually: hard to fit. On the contrary,
if you want something splashy and
if you can wear it, there are gay
flowers and heroic size in seine
prints, even for daytime, and their
Colors are exciting,.
WEAR IT ALL SUMMER
Most of us select a dress for the
print, but we know, too, that we
must be just'as careful about the
details of design and construction.
This year the designs are both
pretty and becoming, and it is up
to you to see that your dress is
right in the small details, and the
workmanship,
,Skirts with easy fullness, with
pleating in front or all around, easy
fitting bodices, waistlines in great
variety, necklines slashed low or
not as you please—all this selec-
tion and much more makes it easy
to find just what you want. Be sure
that the print, the color and the
'way the dress is made are as flat•
tering as possible, if you would en-
joy your, dress through the whole
summer.
Fashion Flashes
Most capes worn are of knee
length, cut on boxy lines, some-
times with braid treatments on
the shoulders.

The trimness of shoes is an out-
standing feature t h is spring,
wedges almost entirely .absent,

Soft details of tucked and shir-
