CHAPTER 19 The eyes in the ugly flat -feat - tired face of the foreman watched 3iennedy jealously. He guessed what the magnet was that had drawn the man back to the, Tin- cup Creek country. The pretty face and engaging ways of Betty Overstreet had lured hint. Jud bad coveted the girl hilnself, and at a dance on Hardscrabble Creek hadbeen publicly snubbed by her. "If you think 1 was tipping him off anything, you're wrong," Pesky blurted. "A man can'twork for the Hat T and serve two masters," Mosely told the puncher. "You're through. Here's your check. One thing I won't, stand is,p two timer." "Don't want more than one of 'cm around, I reckon," the crook - nosed man flung at his employer resentfully, and was shocked at his own audacity. "Suits the fine. 3 can get another job. The Hat T ain't the only ranch on earth." The narrowed eyes of Mosely flashed venom. , "For two cents I would thrash you within an inch of your life, you fool. If I wouldn't soil niy hands doing it. Get out of here. Don't ever let me see your face again." Kennedy backed to the door. "I'nl ort my way, and glad to go," he said, "There ain't a man on the place don't despise you—and yore lousy foreman too." He vanished from the entrance, but Jud Prentiss was on his feet in an instant. It was amazing how swiftly a man so big and awkward could cover the ground. He was on Pesky before the man had reached the porch steps. Didn't Have a Chance A11 the bilious rage banked in the foreman during the past few minutes boiled up in him. His fury at Mosely, his jealousy, his anger at Kennedy for having been present at his humiliation, all worked together to welcome an outlet of violent action. As Pesky turned, Jud's hairy list lashed out and caught the cowboy on the jaw. Kennedy was catapulted from the porch, and be- fore he could scramble up Pren- tiss landed on his body with both feet. Pesky rolled away and reached his knees, only to be ham- mered 'down again. Bruised and bleeding, he man- aged to get to his feet, but could put up no defense. Elis legs were buckling beneath him as he stag- gered back, The world had tarn - cd foggy for him, and it tilted wildly. He tried to go into a clinch and was driven away by heavy swinging blows. Arms dropped and torso sagged. Pren- tiss sent hone a piledriver right and Pesky collapsed. He went down and out. Jud clenched his teeth and moved toward him. "That will be enough, unless you want to kill him," Mosely said callously. He was leaning against the door jamb, his hands in his pockets. "Quite a massacre, Jud. You never gave him a chance for his white alley." "You wouldn't care if I did kill him, except for being seared folks would criticize you," Prentiss said sullenly, his big fists still clench„ 'ed, his chest heaving from violent exertion. "Don't do it on my ranch:" Get Out of Here Kennedy opened his eyes and sat up painfully. ' His swollen and distorted face looked as if it had been poundedwith a hammer. "Roll up your war bag and get out of here," Mosely ordered. "And don't stay in Blanco. Keep going." The cowboy had taken a terrible beating, but he was no coward. "I'll stay in Blanco long as I like," he answered sullenly, get- ting to his feet with difficulty. ,'This is a free country." The hairy fists of the foreman tightened. "If you haven't had enough, there's more where that came from," he threatened. "I've had enough -right now," Kennedy replied, standing his ground. "But this thing ain't ended." "Fine," Prentiss gloated. "We'll finish it now," "That will do, Jud," the Hat T owner said crisply. "We'll keep in mind that he is threatening us. Tough men of his sort who look for trouble usually get it. Be off this place in half ain hour, Kennedy, and keep traveling till you are out of this part of the country. We don't want men of your stripe here." The cowpuncher went to the bunkhouse, his aching body and face' paining him every foot of the way. He took the .45 from his roll and pushed it down between. his shirt and trousers. This was no time to use it, but he did not intend to be caught again In a position where he could not del fend himself, 0 * 0 A Caller For Silcott A man with a face almost as raw as a pounded stake walked into the office of the "Sentinel" and asked, Anne where he could find Jim Silcott, The- young woman did not answer at once. She was a little careful about directing men to Jinn until she had looked then over. "Do you want to see him on business?" she asked. •"On his business," the man answered. Anne had never seen such a battered face. There were a dozen cuts, one eye was almost entirely closed and both of them were surrounded by green and yellow discolorations. Swollen knobs jutted out from cheeks and fore- head like mountains on a Contour map. "You have been hurt," Anne said, with intent to get more light on the object of his call. .

"Kindness of dud Prentiss and Russ Mosely," he replied grimly. "Oh! Have you come to get something put in the paper about it?" "Cripes, nod" the man' explod- ed. "I want to see Silcott person- ally, like I said. Is he .here—or not?" "Yes, he's here," Anne raised. her voice. "Some one to see you, Mr. Silcott." Jim came to the front of the building. He had to look at Ken- nedy twicebefore he recognized him. "'Lo, Pesky," he said. "Was it a bear or a buzz saw'?" Difference of Opinion "It was Jud Prentiss, egged on by his boss. He beat me up plen- ty with his fists, but most of the damage he did with his boots." "He must have been a little annoyed at you," the' editor said dryly. "Yep. Russ gave him what for right before me, and he didn't like that. When I told hien he was as lousy as Rase himself, he jumped me. I was not expecting him so quick the first time he knocked ane down, but he would have cleaned up on me anyhow so it doesn't matter much." "He kicked you when you were down?" "That's the general idea. Ile caved in two of my ribs. Doe Head has got me strapped up." "I reckon you and the Hat T had a little difference of opinion before hostilities started." "Russ accused me of double- crossing him and gave me my time." "What have you been up to, Pesky?"

Wavell General Wavell's Appoint- ment in India a Promotion, Says The St. Thomas Times. Journal • British and Russian pressure on Iran to investigate why so many Gernuin "tourists" and "business- men" have taken a sudden fancy to visit that country, and advising Iran to get rid of the surplus ie closely linked with the job, of Commander -in -Chief in India which was recently placed in the hands of General Sir Archibald Wavell The government of Iran must surely know from recent history that wherever there 111 an influx of Germans they are up to no good; they are not there as friends. There was a tendeney to believe that when General Wavell was relieved of the North Africa com- mand and sent to India after the Germans took the job, of recaptur- ing Libya out of Italian hands, it was an expression of displeasure on the part of the British govern- ment; an indication that they felt he had badly failed. That is far from the ease. In the flint place, General Wavell was unable to pro- ceed to Tripoli because he WAS ordered to detach 50,000 men to help the Greeks, then many more to fight the Battle of Crete. Sir Archibald had, ho, fact, shown such ability that they put him in charge of one of the most vital links in the Empire. Even at that time, the British government had strong grounds for believing that Germany intended to attielt Russia and warned Stalin but he would not listen, If Russia were defeat- ed, the way would be open for Germany; operating from the north, and for Japan operating from the south through Thailand, to invade India by means of a nutcracker movement. Part of Russia borders. India, bet the easier route' to get at India_. would be through Iran. It is to pave the way by fifth c01- umnlsm and other meow that there are so many German agents in Iran today. That is Why Britain and Russia have again brought the subject up with the Iran au- thorities. Defeat of Russia would put Germany in position to force herself on Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey for "facilities" and to fo- ment anti-British movements as was done recently in Iraq. That is what those agents are 'there for. This isanother reason why Sri - MEXICANS BRAND NAZI CONSULATES t f, sir -2Vr ilio K;}�i+,4i Bold Victory V's on front of German consulate in Chihuahua C ty, Mexico, show temper of citizens toward Hitler as Mexican government ordered, closing of all Nazi eonsulates by.

Defeat of the Soviets would, un- less the "scorched earth" policy was 100 per cent successful, which is too mach to expect; give Ger- many much-needed food, raw ma- terials and industrial resources, besides putting her in position to open an India front in concert with Japan which is waiting to see what will happen. It is to meet such a possibility that the capable Wavell has been sent to India, 1:Iis command would not only embrace India, but Bur- ma, and all Southern Asia from the Bay of Bengal to t..e Mediter- ratean coast of Asia Minor. General Wavell was .pro-motedl not de -rooted, U. S.Chlickenns Doing Utmost ' The hens of the United States are going all oat for -England in a big way. With patriotic but pardonable pride, government poultry experts announced recently the feathered flocks of farmers were breaking production records for both eggs and chicks, Reporting, that a "total of about 1,000,000,000 chickens" wins being raised this year, the Department of Agriculture said this would ex- ceed '011 past records," adding that one of the causes of this produc- tion jump was the "demand for more poultry and eggs to meet the needs of dotively employed people and the populations of the battling democracies," ' Although enormous shipments of eggs are going to Great Britain under the war -aid grogram, the de- partment reported hens had met production demands by establish- ing egg laying records for July, latest checkup period, This showed a four per cent gain over egg pro- duction a year ago, although the average number of layers was 113 less than one per cent, Sweet Lavender Munition Source One of the street "cries of Lon- don," called in a sing -song voice, is"Who'll buy any sweet lavender," by women peddlers, but no longer will it be heard again until after the war at least. Lavender—and lace—are associated with love, but lavender has other uses, The oils distilled from this pretty mauve - colored shrub make delicate per- fumes, soaps and powders; twigs have imparted the aroma of lav- ender to countless numbers or bridal dainties and boudoir pret- ties stowed away in a drawer. Lavender is also the source of medicines—and munitions, The British Government needs all the lavender oil it can get to help make supplies and materials of war to blast Hitlerism from the earth. So the oldest firm of lav- ender distillers in the world has switched from romance to war, Will Plant Trees In Bombed Areas While British architects are con- cerned with plans for topographi- cal reconstructions on the sites de- vastated by Nazi bombs, arborators are planning to replace the trees demolished by the same cause. A mi)lion shilling planting fund has been started and a society known as Men of the Trees organized un- der the auspices of well --known hor- ticulturists, Already a pretty book- let has been issued to farmers urg- ing.them to set out seedlings of shade trees in anticipation. "The futile destruction of war proclaims the urgent necessity l'or world So -operation in the matter of conserving and replenishing the rapidly dwindling forests of the World," the society states. It points out that the work of reafforestation "while removing the scars of war, will prov,de a task so great and of so absorbing an interest that political and national interests will unite in working for this common ideal." Her Majesty's Gracious Speech Queen Elizabeth's message to American women was so happily phrased that it could not fail to stir an emotional response in all who heard it. As became an heir- ess of Scottish tradition she did not fail to make an appropriate reference to Holy Writ. The par- able of the Good Samaritan ad- mirably served her purpose. "It gives us strength," she said to the women of America, "to know that you have not been content to pass us by on the other side. To us, in the time of our tribulation, you have surely shown that compas- sion which has been for two thou- sand years the nark of the good neighbor." She looked forward to a day when the women of both lands would go forward, hand in hand, to a better world for their children. It is said that the Queen wrote her awn speech without consulting anybody except her two secretar- ies. This was just as well. This was women's business; it required no clumsy hand from the Cabinet to carry it forward. Her Majesty evidently needs no politician to tell her what, in such matters, is diplomatic. Her brief address was as tactful as it was gracious.

She Might Vote In Spare Time A Dutchman was recently ex- patiating on the folly of giving women the vote. He declared that in Holland there was greater ef- ficiency among the female sex where they did not possess that doubtful privilege. He pointed to. the fact that the Dutch woman sits with one foot on the spinning wheel or churn and with the other she rocks thea cradle containing twins, with her hands she knits socks •for her husband, while on her knee rests a book from which she is improving her mind by. study. And all the while site sits on a cheese, pressing it for mar- ket. ' Warning Ro s eveIt ' Fullest Effort by United States and Canada Necessary To Win War With that sense of the dramatic, which never fails 'him, President Roosevelt seized the opportunity, at his weekly' press conferonce— the fh'et Sincehis return from his conference at sea with Mr, Church- ill -to stress Ula tact: that in his opinion .it is imperative for his countrymen tp realize they fame a ' major struggle if the war is to be won, and to warn them that they are lacking in a full realization that the War -.cannot be won except by hard, tough lighting. President -Roosevelt chose a re- markably ,effective method to drive home. his point by reading' an excerpt from Carl Sandburg's "Abraham Lincoln, The. War; Yea's," in which Mr. Sandberg Quoted President Lincoln's reply to a delegation of women led by Mrs. Mary A, Livermore_of Chic- ago in 1802, .as follows: LINCOLN QUOTED "I have no word of encourage- , ment to give, The military situ - Mien is far from bright; and the country knows it as well as I do. . . The fact is, the people have not yet made ap their minds that we are at war with the South. They,, have not buckled down to the determination to fight this war through; .for they have got the idea into their heads that we are going to get out of this fix some - bow by strategy. That's the word- strategy! General McLellan thinks he is going to whip the rebels by strategy; and the Arany has got the same notion. They have no idea that the war is to be carried on and put through by hard, tough fighting, that it will hurt some- body; and no headway is going to be made while this delusion Mats." DANGER VERY REAL President Roosevelt, in reply to various questions submitted by the newspaper Hien, declared in unequivocal words that he thought many people in the United States had not awakened to the danger to that country and that people all over the world had not real- ized the world danger, Mr. Roosevelt followed this up with an emphatic statement that the primary result of his meeting with Mr. Churchill had been a better meeting of minds on the fight the democracies are putting up. He warned that the war (night continuo through 1943. His words may well be taken to heart be- yond the confines of the United States. There are in certain parts o1 this Dominion, fon' instance, people whose lackadaisical atti- tude justifies the assumption that they have not yet realized that Canada is engaged in fighting the most terrible war of all recorded history, and that the fullest effort of which everyone is capable is essential if victory is to be won. That is the essence of Mr. Roose- velt's statement, both implied and direct. Relief Rolls Drop In Ontario Towns The lowest figure for relief payments since they were put on an organized basis, was reached in June when relief rolls in the 40 municipalities which nlalte up 80 per cent of Ontario's total re- lief burden were reduced to a point where recipients represent- ed only 1.8 per cent of the total population of these centres. The number on relief had been reduced in the 40 towns by 70.4 per cent from June, 1940. Only 10 had 2 per cent or more on re- lief, All of these, with the ex- ception of Toronto, it was ex- plained are municipalities of 9,- 000 or under.
