ward on toot through' a fringe • of.
small pines growiug' in a boulder
field. There 'was a chance that
Yeager• was to meet his allies at
the dam, but it seemed hardly like-
ly. When they were fifty yards
away they were relieved to see
the fat little Hat T rider busily
.preparing breakfast.
Loirg before the Hat T reinforce•
meats came in sight the watchers
In the rocks could hear the sound
of their horses' hoovesstriking
rocks. Out of an aspen draw a rider
emerged, followed by a led pack
horse and a second man.
Pete waved a big spoon at them.
"Come and get it,. brothers!" he
called.
The first rider dismounted, turn-
ed his horse loose with grounded
bridle, and gave his attention to
the •pack animal, The load was fas-
tened -with a diamond hitch which
he released very carefully while
the other man held the reins close
to the mouth.
"Not taking any chances of jar-
ring the dynamite," Pesky said in
Jim's ears. "Frosty is the fellow
at the reins. The other is Berl
Judson."
The two men carried the sacks
lo a grassy spot close to the as-
pens. The three horses were pick-
eted. After passing a bottle around
they sat down to eat breakfast
No snatch of their conversation
reached the two hidden among the
rooks above. During the meal the
bottle went from hand to hand
more than once. They ate hurried-
ly, and as soon as they had fin-
ished Judson and Yeager saddled
and departed.
Jin. and Pesky deew back among
the rocks and detoured to a small
gulch leading down to the park.
This they descended carefully, Sil-
cott in the van. As they drew clos-
er to the park they redoubled their
precautions against being heard.
Frosty was cleaning the frying pan,
the coffee pot, and the tin dishes.
Be had bis back to them and was
singing, very much off key, a cow•
boy song:
"Sift along, boys; don't ride so
slow.
Haven't got much time but a long
round to go.
Quirt him on the shoulders and
wake him down the his,
I've cut you toppy mounts, boys,
now pair off and rip.
Bunch the herd 'at the old meet,
Then beat 'em on the tail,
Whip 'em up and down the side
And hit the shortest trail."
"Why be in such a hurry, Fros-
ty?" Silcott asked gently, drawling
the words. "You've got all day,
haven't you? And maybe not such
a long trail to ride either."
The man swung around, aston-
ished, Ile stared at Jim, jaw slack
and eyes dilated,
"Why—why, what are you doing
here?" he gulped out.
"That's strange," Silcott said. "1
was just going to ask you that."
The trapped mat knew no u..st
not let Silcott guess why he was
here. He must get hien and Pesky
cut of the way before the return
of his companions. There was some-
thing about the editor's manner he

that it's been branded, specially for

a century. Buy a package today

not birds of a feather. They were
not even friends. Some common
'purpose other than ,pleasure bad
brought theni together,
"i knocked off a couple of days
to get a"bsck," Frosty explained.
"Got kinda tiredof beef three times
a day."
"That's fine," Silcott said heart-
ily. "Pesky and I are hunting too.
We'll throw in with you. If you're
alone?"
The last words were flung out
abruptly. The Hat T man hesitat-
ed. But it would not do to be
caught lying:,
"A couple of other fellows .with
me," he said reluctantly.
"Boys from the ranch?" Iiennedy
inquired.
"Why, yes. Yeager and Judson,
Work is kinda slack right now and
we could get off,"
Pesky snorted. "Jud must have
had a change of heart mighty re-
cently. ]4losely, too. I worked for
the outfit three years and never
saw a hand get a day off for hunt-
ing."
"If you don't see a buck, I reckon
you would as soon shoot.a dam,"
Silcott said.
The Hat T man slid an appre-
hensive eye at him. He was not
in a happy frame of mind to enjoy
puns. Somebody must bane got
Word to Silcott what *as afoot.
"I dunno What you mean, Red,"
he said sulkily.
"No go, Frosty." Jim's voice had
abruptly hardened. "You know why
we are here, just as we do why
you are. Take iris gun, Pesky.
Ile might get notions."
Frosty was older than most pun-
chers. He had been riding for 11f -
teen years and haat taken many
falls. As a result of a broken leg
from one bl those he walked a
little lame. His thin brown face
was seamed with, wrinkles, and the
eyes that looked out of it were
faded to a skiinnillk blue from
squinting at several thousand blaz-
ing suns.
"Now looky here, boys," he pro-
tested. "You got me wrong. 1
dunno what's eatin' you; There's no
reason for you to take my gun
away. I may be a Hat T hand,
but that doesn't mean I'm any
friend of Russ Mosely,"
"You don't need to tell us that,"
I{eunely said, relieving him of his
.45 and making sure he carried 110
other weapon, " That weasel i
wouldn't be a friend of a thfrty-
dollar-anlonth cow -poke. Or of any-
one. else except for what was in It
for Himself,"
"You know are, Pesky, "You can
tell lied I'm all right."
"Yeah, I know you," the crook -
nose man growled. "Ynure ono
of Jud's 'Y'betcha' man. Really to
run on any of his ditty errands
when he Clacks the whip."
"We'd better get busy," Jim
said. "You come along with us,
Frosty, and don't make the mis-
take of trying to light out. But
before we start the fireworks you
had better turn loose these horses
and drive then away so that they
won't get hurt, Pesky."
"That's right." Kennedy walked
to the horses and freed them. With
a heavy rope across their flanks
he started them galloping out of
the pocket,
"You're not going to leave :no
afoot?" t7 Pr t
os said

"Maybe '
yb your friends will give
you a lift. Don't worry about the
future, Frosty. Live happily in the
Present." Silcott pointed to the
gunny sacks, "Hoist one of tltelu
on your shoulder and carry it to
the bluff. Better not stumble or
we'll both go to kingdom come."
Frosty slid' as he was told. At
the suggestion of the Diamond
Slash man he repeated tile trip,
,ling inspected the face of the
cliff. "This spot ought to do," Ise
said, and knelt down 1n front of a
V-shaped hollow at the base of two
great boulders leaning against each
other,
lf.e puked the sticks of powder
carefully and arranged a fuse.

"Mr. Churchill"
Busy Elsewhere
.Axis prisoners of .war camped
somewhere in Palestine thought
they could taunt their guards by
dubbing the orderly who cleaned
their quarters "Mr. Churchly"
The officer in charge bided his
time until the next routine camp
inspection, when the prisoners, re-
plying to questions, said their ra-
tions were better than they had
received in active service and the
clothing provided was ample, but
they complained that their quer.
tees "haven't been cleaned for a
fortnight"
"I am really sorry," replied the
officer, "but you are probably
aware that Mr. Churchill is very
busy fighting a was on four con-
tinents to crush Hitler and his
regime. You will have to clean up
around here without his help."

New Plane Minus
Tail and Fuselage
United States Army Air Force
officials were reported authorita-
tively to be keenly interested in
a new "flying wing" radically
different from current airplanes
and believed to holt. the promise
of revolutionizing aircraft design.
The plane, under test in Cali-
fornia, lacks, both fuselage and
tail and is literally a "flying
wing." Brief information on it,
including a sketch, was disclosed
by a patent office publication,
but officials said details had been
classified as confidential and
placed in the secret patent files.
The craft is propelled by two
flat pusher -type engines which
are built into the wings.
Movable tips of the wings
serve as rudder and ailerons. The
cabin is in the centre, and a gun
turret has been placed atop each
wing. In appearance, it resenl-
bies a seagull.
Aviation designers have been
working for two decades or more
on tailless planes which, in
theory, should be capable of
much higher speeds and greater
' manoeuvrability than conven-
tional craft.

It is interesting to note that
the first steamship in:. Canada, the
Accommodation, was built in
Montreal by Hon. John Molson,
and was launched in. 1809. She
was a vessel- of eighty-five feet
in length and originally Was: pro-
vided with berths for twenty pas-
sengers. A steam engine of Eng-
lish manufacture propelled her
open, double -spoked, perpendicu-
lar sidewheels. Her maiden voy-
age was from Montreal to Quebec
on November 3, 1809, whieh dis-
tance was covered in sixty-six
hours.

Seasonal Pumpkin
AS the time draws near to' the
season of Hallowe'en, that much
beloved season of all the younger
householders (and many older
ones too), the attention is focus-
ed on the golden.-pumplcin. Most
people may think tmerely of pre-
serving it in its simplest fashion,
to use as a pie filling in the less
fruitful days to, come, but 1100
are many interesting th}i,gs which
can be done with it and here are
a few 0f them.
Pumpkin Chips
Pumpkin
Sugar
Lemons.
Ginger
Peel and halve the pumpkin.
Take out the seeds and cut into
thick chips. For each pound of
pumpkin allow 2 cups sugar and
'A cup lemon juice. Place chips
in a deep earthenwaredish and
sprinkle each layer with a layer
of sugar. Put the lemon juice
over the .whole. Let this retain
fora day; then boil together, al-
lowing 1 cup water to each three
pounds of spgar, 1 tablespoon
bruised ginger tied in muslin
bags, and' the shredded peels of
the lemons. When the pumpkin
becomes tender, twin the whole
into a stone jar and set away 111 a
cool place for one week. At ,the
end of that time pour the syrup
off the chips. Boil down until
rich and thick; then pour over
the pumpkin and seal, This makes
a delicious sweetmeat.
„Pumpkin Honey
5 cups sweet pumpkin
5 cups sugar
2 oranges
Put some peeled pumpkin
through the food chopper; stew
and measure. Add sugar, grated
rinds and pulp of the oranges and
cook very slowly until clear. Pour
into glasses and cover.

Forests In Sweden
Pay Good Dividends
Civilized Sweden always took ex-
cellent care of her forests. They
contributed greatly to her pros.
parity in peacetime. They are a
life-saver now.
Sweden, though -neutral, finds
her imports of 011 and gasoline cut
off. Today Ilex inotor vehicles rush
fairly well with gas made from
chdreoai from her forests, says a
correspondent of the. Christian
Science Monitor. Lubricating oi1
is being made from wood tar. Cloth
is being made from cellulose, an-
other forest product, Sweden's fam-
ous pulp mills cannot make paper,
for there is no foreign market, but
they can and do make feed out of
moss, loaves and even pine needles.

OM English Custom
re you have ever invited an
unexpected guest to stay and take
potluck with you, diel you know
you were just following an old
English eating custom? In olden
times, and as late as the eight-
een -nineties, it was customary
for the villagers to keep a large
family cooking pot suspended
from the fireplace pothook. Into
this pot was tossed any edible to
keep the pot boiling since the
fire was seldom allowed to die
out. At meal time, the members
of the household wont to the •
great pot and dished out their
own dinner which was dubbed
