As she steps from the stagecoach at Blanco, Buck Sneve, a Hat T rider, shoots at redheaded Jim Silcott, now editor of the "Sen - tine'," but is shot dead as Silcott disappears in a house across the street. This gunplay had follow- ed Buck's appearance in the Trail's End with Jud Prentiss, his foreman, and other Hat T men, Jud dragging Jesse Lamprey after him. Jud accused Jesse 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 poker game, asked if Mosely'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 men and lay in wait for him. Rufe Jelks takes Anne to the "Sentinel' of- fice and Jud and his men shoot it up but leave when they learn Anne is inside. Jim refuses to quit, saying he can't let Mosely 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. Mosely discharges Pesky Ken- nedy, Jud beats him up and Pesky tells Jim that Mosely is going to blow up his irrigation dam. At Bar ..Overstreet's ranch Anne meets Lamprey. She had eloped with him at Massillon, he deserted her and she tells him she never wants to see him again. CHAPTER 24 Peace Mission Lamprey looked at Jelks ang- rily. "Who cut you into this game, Jellcs? This is private business." "He's right, Rufe," Anne agreed. Her friendly smile rob- bed the reproof of its sting. "And everything has been said that i needs to be. I'd like to wash now if I may, Miss Overstreet" "You'll find there's a lot to he said yet," her husband boasted. "I'm not going to he thrown away like a dirty dishrag because you've picked up some new fancy friends here." a Calumet's double -action gives you double leavening—both dur- ing mixing and in the oven..

"Take care, Jesse," warned Rufe. "I wouldn't talk any more now if I were you." "Not here, • anyhow." Betty confronted Lamprey. There was a beat of hot temper in her voice. "Leave this ranch, you scoun- drel, unless you want my father or one of my brothers to break you in pieces. If you think you can come here, a married man, and play you are single — and make love to ire and other girls, you've got another guess cor- ing." She stamped her foot. 9 think you're detestable. Get out of my sight, you—worm." Lamprey realized it was time to be going. "All right — all right, if that's the way you throw down an old friend., Nobody will listen to my side of this: I might as well go." Anne watched him go swag- gering out of the house, a raffish shallow scamp without pride or bottom. Looking at him now, the marks of deterioration writ- ten clear on him, she could not understand the infatuation that had driven her to such folly. He looked not only weak but cheap, and she felt there must be some- thing shoddy about herself to have been deceived by such ob- vious surface ,charms. That she had been very young and credu- lous did not save her from her own condemnation, What Should Bill Do? Bill Overstreet followed Lam- prey to the blacksmith shop, He was only nineteen and he did not quite know what he ought to do about this. Was this a case of least said soonest mended? Or ought the to sock the fellow on the jaw? The smith had just finished shoeing the horse. Lamprey beck- oned Bill to one side. "Sorry Anne kicked up such a fuss in your house," he said. "She always was a firecracker. Expected a man to be a little plaster saint and not human. Course you and I know we can't all be preachers." , Bill looked at him and said nothing. "I've heard about her goings- on at Blanco with this fellow and Red Silcott and plenty of. others. She's got a crust to talk that way to me." "You'd better hit yore saddle and light out," Bill said gruffly. "Don't you come that high and mighty stuff on me, Bill. I don't have to take it from you like I do from Betty." "Leave my sister's name out of this. And don't ever mention it again." "Come off your perch, kid, Betty and I—" "Look out," warned Bill, his fists clenched, "Rats! Your sister—" Young Overstreet let go his right to tre chin. Lamprey went down and stayed down. "What d'you do that for?" he whimpered, "I wasn't saying anything—" "If you don't want to fight, fork yore bronc and - hit the trail," Bill ordered, Sullenly Lamprey climbed to the saddle and rode away. * 5 5 Anne reit humiliated. She had thought it best to speak openly -of her marriage to Jesse Lam- prey in order to relieve her of future embarrassment, but she had not intended to be drawn in- to a quarrel with him or even into a defence of her position. When she learned through the ranch cook, a little Mexican named Juan, that Bill had knock- ed Lamprey down at the corral she was distressed. It meant more publicity she did not want, But Betty was distinctly pleas- ed. She told her brother so when A ISSUE 41-'41 A he came into the house for sup- per. .' After supper, while they were sitting before the open fire in the big living -room, Anne brought thd conversation around to Jim Silcott's dam. She told Bar Over- street about the visit Pesky Ken- Hedy had,, paid to the office of the "Sentinel," and asked - if he thought Mosely would dare de- stroy the dam. "You don't think Pesky was just trying to stir up trouble," Bar said. "Russ fired him from the"'Ilat T and Jud Prentiss gave him. an awful beating." (Continued Next,Week) TLE TALES By SADIE B.

Hens The astronomical goal of 50,- 000,000,000 eggs in 1942 a record-breaking production—was set last weep .by officials plan- ning the food supply for national defence and British aid. The staggering order to the nation's henhouses, carne from poultry experts at the department of agriculture in their 'annual forecast, of the poultry and egg situation. "To supply sufficient eggs for domestic and lend-lease needs in 1942 a total egg production of a little over 4,000,000,000 dozen eggs is needed," was the formal announcement, with officials con fide:it that such a • production peak could be attained. Agriculture department offi- cials declared that farm prices for both eggs and poultry had advanced rapidly in recent months and that prices for 1942 were expected to maintain these levels or advance. Although costa of corn and -other chicken feed will advance, officials said, the higher prices for' eggs and poul- try products would more than compensate.

The Short Bob Goes Long Way Clippings From Beauty Shops Used For British Munitions The women or Britain have been told that their hair can help licit Hitler. Human hair can be used in the manufacture of plastics, and plastics in turn find innumerable uses in the manufacture of arma- ments and other war industries. Women are being asked each time they go to the hairdressers, to see that their hair clippings are saved. They are being asked also to dig out those tresses which they have bean treasuring, for senti- ment's sake, since the day they decided to bow to modern coiffure fashion and have them shorn. From Frisseur's Salon As Tar back as 1938, Germany started collecting the clippings from all "frisseur's" salons. These wore needed for the manufacture of felts, carpels and in the uphol- stery industry. Hairdressers could bo fined for throwing away such valuable anterial. Peoplo smiled at this new Nazi order, but now British hairdressers are being ask- ed to see that the clippings from their shops be collected, not once a day, but after each haircut, and set carefully aside, It is calculated that an overage salon of six to eight cubicles would daily yield enough Bair to fill a waste basket. Multiply this by a few hundred thousands and you achieve an imposing figure. For Munitions As for the hundreds or plaits and curls which soon can be un- earthed from the back of bureau drawers, still tied with a baby blue ribbon, these are especially valuable, because of the length of the hair, for strengthening felt for armaments. Long fair hail' also plays an important role in certain precision instruments in connection with meteorology, And here is where the vogue for the shoulder -long page -boy coiffure be- comes a means of national defence —the longer the clippings from women's hearts, the more useful. The shingled heads of the last war were not so productive, "V" For Vegetables Between spells of strafing Nazi bases in Europe, Britain's airmen are growing vegetables for their own messes. One Fighter Command station near London, nest of Spitfire and Hurricane raiders, has ten acres of "waste" land under cultiva- tion and another three or four acres are being sown with Win- ter v.egetables. The men there have planted 80,000 lettuces, 2,- 500 tomato plants, 5,000 cab- bages, 2,000 brussels sprouts, as well as acres of peas, beans and potatoes. This station is meeting Britain's onion shortage with half an acre of onions. The gardening movement is part of a plan by which R.A.P. stations throughout Britain will have fresh vegetables fortheir messes from spare corners of their airfields.

French Uprising Predicted Soon A general uprising in France within three or four months was predicted by Arthur Lesser, 29, who has lived in France for tine past 10 years and who served in the French propaganda service under two governments.
