SYNOPSIS Anne Eliot, a Massillon, Ohio, girl, inherits the "Powder Horn Sentinel" when Carl Rogers, her uncle, is killed from ambush in the land-grant feud by Russell Mosely's Hat T riders. As she seeps from the stagecoach at Blanco, Buck Sneve, a Hat r man, shoots at Jim Silcott, the redheaded editor of the "Soud- an]," but h shot dead as Silcott disappears in a house across the street. This gunplay had fol. lowed Buck's appearance ba the Trail's End with Jud Prentiss, hie foreman, and other Hat T men, Jud dragging Jesse Lam- prey after him. Jud accused Jessie of double-crossing Mosely in the feud, Jesse's younger brother Phil refused to leave without Jesse, and when Jud was about to hit Phil, Silcott, waiting for a polear game, asked if Mose- ly's orders included beating up the boy. Angrily, Jud warned Jim, then slashed Jesse with his quirt until Jesse fell writhing to the floor. Jud left with his mon and lay in wait for Jim. Rufe Jelks takes Anne to the "Send. nel" office and Jud and his men shoot it up but /cave when they learn Anne is inside. Jim refuses to quit, saying he can't let Mose. ly drive him out. Sheriff Lawson doesn't arrest Jim when Anne says she will cover the town with posters telling the truth. Mosely offers to buy the "Sentinel" but Anne says she will run it herself. Anne had been engaged to Jesse in Massillon and she thanks Phil when he asks if he can do any- thing for her. Mosely discharges Pesky Kennedy, Jud beats him up and Pesky tells Jim that Mosely is going to blow up his irrigation dam. Jelks takes Anne on a trip to see "Sentiniel" subscribers...-. CHAPTER 22 Blasted RoMance Phil Lamprey opened the corral gate and the teams watered. "We're going to have a picnic dinner on Tincup," Aline said. "Come along and eat with us." Though young Lamprey de - dined, there was no heart in his refusal. He was easily persuaded to join them. While jellcs hitch- ed the horses again he roped and' saddled. Before they reached the little open park which Rufus had selected for a camp ground Phil cantered up and joined them. Anne said, as she stepped out of the buckboard, "I'm ravenous." "I'm gonna cure that," Jelks promised. Be put out an arm to hold her back from the sack of provisions. "You don't have to do a thing, lady. This is to be a camp dinner. I cook, and Phil flunkies for me. You go gather flowers." Phil unhitched and staked the horses. The blackhaired man gathered dry wood and lit a fire, Anne strolled up the creek.

GET SOME TODAY' Itufe was busy with the coffee and the flapjacks. "Come and get it, Miss Anise," he called presently. Perhaps it was because the long drive in the sun and the wind had sharpened Anne's appetite that the food tasted so good. She thought she had never enjoyed a meal more, and she said so more than once. Though she did not talk Much herself, she drew out the men to keep up a lively conversation, most of it contributed by Rufe. He told of roundups, of night herding under the stars, of camp- ing in cold drizzling rain on wet and soggy ground. Jelks had the gift of making his story vivid, and ranch dances, battles . with rustlers, herds crossing bank full rivers, rose to life at the call of her imagination. Silcott's name came into one of his stories. "Yes, ma'am. At Las Vegas. We was all high as a kite. I was with the Flying V outfit then. We drifted into a Mexican baile and the boys began dancing with the senoritas. That didn't go over so good. There was a rider called Flea Bite. One young greaser told him hands off his girl, Flea Bite gave him inform- ation where to head in at, and the Mexican went for, his knife. We had cached our guns at the Eldorado saloon, I reckon that was lucky. It Wasn't any private fight. Everybody was in it. We weren't doing so well, on adcount of ethe senors' knives. Then Red stopped it." "How?" asked Anne. "Be just happened past the place while the rumpus was going on. There was a big tank oa water on the roof of the hall to be used in case of fire. The hose was -to come clown through a sky- light. Well, Red grabbed an axe from a wagon, shinned up the stairway, busted a big hole in the skylight and another in the tank, and watched Niagara pour down on the war. riflemen, hush! Muy pronto we postponed hottili- ties, That water came down like the Cataract at Leder° I read about in MeGuffey's reader. There was a regular stampede to adjourn. Not any too soon either. The Flying .V boys had been cut up a lot." "Red is a hum-dinger," Phil said, "I never saw the beat of • "Sure is," Rufe agreed. "I don't care who calls himself majordome. Where Red is the head of the table is." Phil rode back to the ranch after dinner. The buckboard climbed to a bench and crossed it, From the bench they dropped down through a narrow canyon, so sharp that at tides there was hardly room on the floor for a tilted rocky road. Below the mouth of the gorge they could see Tincup Creek, a silver ribbon . winding up through rough Marken country to its headwaters. Rufe pointed out a ranch steading set in a pocket of the hills. "The Bar Overstreet ranch," he told her. "About half a mile as the crow flies, but we'll travel five miles before we get there." "I understand Betty is worth traveling five miles to see," Anne commented, slanting a smile at "A lot of the boys feel that way." The Bar 0 ranch was set in the prettiest little park Anne had yet seen since her arrival in the West. It was watered by a small stream, and along its borders were fields of alfalfa and native hay. Nearer to the houseo/was an orchard of apple, peach, ,and cherry trees. Young Bill Overstreet, still lank and weedy but on his way to be as big as his father, came up to the buckboard to greet them. Rufe introduced the boy to Miss Eliot, Bill blushed. He was at an age when young ladies embarras- sed him. But he led the way into the house, which was built partly of logs and partly of lutriber. From a back room came the sound of a giggle. A high girlish voice was lifted in scolding laugh- ter. "Now you behave, Jess Lamprey, or I'll stick this needle in you. 'Just b.ecause I'm sewing a button on your vest is no rea- son for you to get fresh." "Some one to see you, ifs," Bill called out. Betty appeared in the doorway, Mothers Were Good Guessers The New Yes* Times Gives Some Homey Hints About Vitamins As for the vitamins, it has been pointed out more than once In this column how Strongly science en- dorses human 'experience.

IT'S IMPORTED War in Europe didn't catch Reni Rothman empty handed. Two-year-old refugee froxn Ger- many came to U.S. on little Span- ish freighter Navemar.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cushing of San Francisco (they're just white folk) did that with son Jeffrey just as soon as they took him from the hospital at the age of two weeks. Six weeks later they declared the experiment an unqualified success. The Cushings believe that a great advantage of the cradle board is that it causes the child to grow up with a straight back.

The Stratosphere Future War Zone Realm of Purple Twilight May Soon be conquered by Air Engineers We live and Lireathe at sea level where alr pressure is 14,7 pounds Der square inch, At 30,000 feet it is only about four pounds per square Inch, and it declines still more with height, Tho rarefied air, starved ot oxy- gen, cannot therefore reach the carburetor of an engine to be sucked in with petrol to form the vapor mixture at correct strength. Hence, engine power decliues and superchargers are used. But the search atter altitude continues in Britain, the United States and Germany as well, no doubt, as in Russia and Italy; Pressure cabin Pilots begin to feel the effect ol high altitude if they operate for long at heights over 10,000 feet. They have to carry oxygen bottles, but the ideal way of overcoming this problem is the paessure cabin, and it is doming. Such an aircraft is designed with a cylindrical -shaped fuselage so that outside pressure is even all roiled, At must be staong to with - Stand the pressure inside, which is preserved at the sea -level figure of 14.7 pouutis per square inch, while outside pressure is falling away to perhaps only 1 pound per square Inch. A weak structure would burst from the excessive internal pre - sure. The pressure cabin preserves in its interior the conditions under which pilots can live and fight and breathe normally: There IS no need for oxygen bottles. Life Inside the cabin 10 normal 150 'natter to what heights the aircraft flies. This hew fighter will be able to elhnb and operate at 50,000 feet to 60,000 teet. Where, then, is the limit? Is there a limit? Over 50,- 000 feet, tor instance, the sity turns purple, and at 60,000 feet or thereabouts it is quite dat:k. The Stan are visible in daylight. This is the strange phenomena which pilots will experience with cosmic rays seating down from the fierce heat of the sun an the un- protected aircraft, for the rareti ed air will provide little in the way of a protective lay to ward off the sun's intense heat. Purple Twilight Sere then maybe is the limit of high altitude fighting. In such conditions pilots would not see each other any more than when dogfights take place at night at lower altitude% . Cannot you imagine the clever pilot using the purple twilight at 50,000 feet as a cover for approaoh? He will fly on the ceiling at 50,000 feet with a black canopy above Min and dayllgltt below, The pilot who can't reach this height will not aee the lurking at- tacker above hitn. Tbe latter will dive from purple -twilight Biro the broad light of daY headlong for 10,000 feet or more as he streaks after his quarry. This is the condition of the dog- fights of the near future, But you wlllnot see them or hear them, for they will take place in realms of the stratosphere, where mon have literally left the earth. A Mobile Laundry For Blitzed Homes In the matter of amenities wash -day in a small /louse is sel- dinn regarded as one of the high spots of civilized life, Wash -day in a "blitzed" house is either an impossibility or a misery.
