KYNE Kenneth Burney, adventurer and one- time gentleman, comes to Bradley Bar - din, king a the cattle country, for a job. Burney has bad a fight with Martin Bruce, a rival cattle owner, Who has been stealing the king's stock, aided by Mig- u el Gallegos, a Mexican bandit. The king, liking Young Burney's style, offers him the job of getting the cattle -thieves, Burney accepts though he knows It means a fight to the death. He Meets Muriel, the king's beautiful daughter. CHAPTER VL—(Cont.) When the king and the princess found themselves alone, the girl asked: "Dad, who is he?" "He claims to be the ECU of old Felix Burney, a California cattle man of my acquaitance. If this be true (and I'm not going to take his word "Are you going to employ him Dad?" "Of course I am. He needs a job I have it to give and I might as well take a chance on him, for his father's sake, as on anybody else. But he's the country gentleman, even in his chaps, so for the good of his soul I'm ping to put him over the jumps tomorrow. The El Ranchifo riders with 'whom he will have to associate will despise him for a dude—there's such a thing as blind class hatred, you know—until they realize heknow his business and that, dude that he is,he's a man, too. If he stays on old Geronimo ten sec- onds they'll know him for a rider and a game one. And that will help a eat deal." for it) he's an American with a slight "But suppose he should bc thrown strain—say one-eighth—of Castilian and hurt?" blood in him. Just enough to give him temperament and make him carefree, easy and prodigal. His alleged father is one of the finest gentlemen in Cali- fornia. The old stock, you understand. Fifty yeads behind time with his code. "I have always liked old Felix but never knew be had a son. I loaned him money from ante to time, with his cattle as security, and while I realized that, as an operator, he wasn't a gilt-edged risk, still I could always send a men to count his cattle at any time and find more than the number he represented he owned when making the loan. This boy, Ken, says my lawyers Leta in on him a year ago and +yak the cattle for the loan. Well, we were abroad then, Muriel, and I never knew anything about it, My head can't hold every detail of my business. However, if we tock the cattle we gave him the best market price for them and remitted him tht difference between the selling price and Ids debt. Of course, with his ranch unstocked, old Felix has to lease it to some other cettlenian, and now Ken says he's retired, and the denars tell lam he hasn't many years to live. I amegine 111 be able to buy that Tana some day at a reasonable figure, particularly if this boy gets himself kiln -4, which he's extremely apt to do." "How dreadful, Dad! I wouldn't like to see him killed." the girl re- rnarked thoughtfully. "He's so young and. merry and gallant, and so filled with the joy o flieing. He seems a trine frivolous but somehow, I think that's just a smoke screen to hide a lot of real courage and sound common sense. He strikes me as a gentleman who has been a sort of dilettante cow- man." "Oh, I imagine he knows cows well enough. He wr.r brought up on the Santa Inez Renate and they ran about three thousand need, The trouble is old Felix spoiled him for the business by rasing him a gentleman and giv- ing him too much money to spend. Why, the young jackass used to play polo. Now that old Felix can no longer support another gentleman in the family, the boy's broke and a wanderer in mai eh of a riding job. Apparently he realizes that cows are the only thing in life he really knows anything about and it has occerred to lien to cultivate his gent knowledge and forget polo, A wise decision.

ISSUE No. 37—'30 "Cowlmy luck," the king replied in- differently. "His father has been a cowman and laid the foundation of the king's present vast fortune; al- though he had given his heir -apparent certain educational and cultural ad- vantages unknown to Grandfather Bardin's day, he had also raised Brad- ley Bardin a thorough cattleman, in order to fit him for his heritage and equip him with ability to add to it. And how well the old man had wrought the Western cattle world now knew. The present king had started his practical education in the bunkhouse with his father's riders at thirty dol- lars a month, and had worked up slowly; in the process he had been thrown many a time and oft, and had broken bones to prove it, but it had never occurred to Lim, in the pride of his youth, to avin 1 a horse just be- cause the animel was disrespectful. He chuckled now as he recalled his own days as a broncho twister, He was in a reminiscent mood. "I'd been working for your grand- father five years, Muriel, and saved and won at poker sixty-four hundred dollars when the old man got wind of nsy bunk account and decided it would be fun to take it away from me. ink he was testing me to see if there was any truth in the saying that a fool and his money are soon parted, for he offered to bet me ten to six I couldn't ride a red roan outlaw we'd best riders in the country had never stayed on that horse after the fourili jump and my father was very proud of that horse. He'd maintain any- thing and anybody that was a top- notcher in his own particular line, whereas if this outlaw had been a mediocre bucker Dad would have shot to make me extend myself. "Muriel, this horse had everything. Why, he could wrinkle his back and throw a good man, but his slitacpye throw a good man, but his specialty was whirling like a pin -wheel, simul- taneously pitching high, hard and handsome so continuously he was a four -footed advertisement for the see - ret of perpetual motion. He just jar- red you groggy, and if he didn't throw you in ths fleet four jumps you fell off. And I knew this because I'd tried him out in private twice—and in those days it required an excra bad horse to make me extnd myself. CHAPTER VII. "Well, my father was always a bit stingy with me. He made me work for every dollar of spending money I ever fingered. Consequently, I yearn- ed to take ten thousand dollars away from him, and after a while I figured out a way to swindle him. I bet six thousand against his ten and reduced the bet to writing so there wouldn't be any arguirrnt aboet it afterward, be- cause I knew my father would craw- fish on me if I gave him a real open- ing. carefully stipulated every rule --and they were hard rules, for the old man saw to that. "We argued so much about relaxing the rules that I got his mind off one important point and he signed up without noticing his error in failing to stipulate the place of execution. That ]eft me free to choose it, so 1 chose the dry, sandy river bed of the San Ardo. The old man made no ob- jection, He figured I'd picked the sand of the river bed to save myself from being ag badly hurt, when 1 was thrown, as I would be on the hard ground of the corral. Anyhow, I was his son and he was willing enough that I should have the best of it in falling; so he sat his horse and grin- ned like a fool while a couple of the boys helped me saddle the outlaw, aiereaneneee7 "Now -this was not to be 'a rodeo ride, where you start out of a chute and finish when the pistol goes off, which is when the judges figure you've done your best end the hone has done hie worst.

It was found that in their abnormally sensitive con- dition they were subject to irritation, and that this irritation produced short- ness of breath. In the treatment of hundreds of asthma cases a great deal of suffering was due to the use of feather pillows, feather beds, and eiderdowns. From these a minute dust rises, inflames the membranes, and brings on attacks of asthma. But asthma can, and does, occur when ordinary beds, pillows, and cov- erings are used.
