Bruce, a rival cattle. owner who has been stealing -the king's stock, aided by Mig- uelGallegos, a Mexican bandit. The king, liking Young Burney, makes- him' general manager of the ranch on condi- tion that he put Bruce and Gallegos out of the way. Burney meets Bruce,who. has sworn t, kill him. They both draw their guns, but Burney outwits the wily old cattle thief. Meanwhile Muriel Bardin, beautiful daughter of the king, becomes interested in Burney. She tries to persuade' her .father not to let Burney tackle the cattle, thieves. But Burney continues to lay his plans for the battle that. is sure to come.' major," he murmured. "And what a blood -thirsty old .Quaker you turned out to be.'' He picked up the tele phone and called the king. Murie Bardin answered. "I want to speak to His Majesty," he announced. "About Tom Bledsoe?" she queried. "Good guess." "His Majesty has retired and may not be disturbed. I'll take the mes- sage." "Very well.

We've got to keep a force of Hien down there sufficient to stand off Gallegos. That's too expensive and dangerous. To leave our cattle there alone and unprotected means that presently every head of stock we've got there will disappear. That's too .expensive also. So the third alternative is to go down them mid wipe this fellow Gallegos and his men clear off the map. And that's the plan I've adopted." "Ain't no otter out," the gloomy Quaker assented. "But Art Graydon, he never suggested that an' the king couldn't on account o' befit' respon- sible, if he did, for the kinin' of a lot o' his good men.

Wee, why nos turn the job over to Tom Bledsoe right away, Mr. Burney? I'm sure it is not going to be one you are going to en- joy." "That's where you are greatly mis- taken, Miss Bardin. I'nl going to enjoy it immensely. Toni Bledsoe's going eo help me, though." "I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Bur-. ney. • I thought you were a gentle- man." "Oh, no, no, no. Nothing like that, Miss Muriel. No gentleman ever gets the thrill out of life that 1 do. I know, because I've been a gentleman. Now I prefer to be a roughneck" "That's much too bad, Mr. Burney. Good night." And she hung up. "Poor old king," Ken Burney mur- mured, "she must be giving him a rough ride abeut me. As if it's any of ho_ business," he murmured and switched off the light. At the sane moment Muriel Bardin stood beside the king's bed and de- livered his general manager's mes- sage. Whereat His Majesty smiled a s .tisfied smile. "I'n not going to invite him over to ..inner after ail," Muriel announced. "Jake with me," said :he king. "Good night, honey." Immediately after breakfast Tom Fledsoe reported to the new general manager. "Well, I I ave thirty good men signal up for thee, Mr. Burney," he annoareed. "Fast week. How many saddle horses have you •;ot in the rentuda?" "About three hundred." "Cut me out six bays, two buckskins with black points, five light bays with blazed faces and white socks, five blacks or very dark bays, five chest- nuts, two palair.inos, cne sovieno and two block -and -white pintos. Here's the list to aid your memory." "Gees we can fill that bill, Mr. Burney. We got all colors in that - emuda, an' they're all good horses." "Thanks.

Hand-pick 'em, Tom. While I'm gone rake up a few men and roundup the horses I require." Within ten minutes the trio report- ed. One of them, it developed, was Art Gr ydon's chauffeur when he was not otherwise engaged, and he had to repeat that Mr. Graydon planned to use the ranch car that day. that he's going down to,E1 Cajon Bon- ita to bump oft Miguel'Gallegos." !'Oh, Dad, this is dreadful." "Interesting, at any rate." "You must stop him." The king dropped his chin on his breast and commenced to snore loudly. "Then I'll step him," the girl cried. His Majesty opened one eye and gazed upon his progeny.. "Why?". "I don't ,want him to kill Miguel Gallegos." "That the only reason?", "I dont want Miguel 'Gallegos to kill him." cony?" "eleceuse—L" "Who cares?" be taunted her and; commenced to snore again. Muriel commenced to weep. "Hey! Heyle. said theking. He was instantly distressed. "Very well, honey.

Gallegos kills him first;, in which event I imaginethosethree rowdies with him will takecare of Gallegos," Ten minutes later Ken. Burney and his riders pulled off to one side of the road to let a car go by. To Ken's amazement it stopped, and Muriel Bardin was in it. "My father says you're not to kill Miguel Gallegos today," she cried•ex- eitedly. He touched two fingers to his fore- head in the Oriental sign of fealty. "I hear and I obey. I hadn't intended killing him today, anyhow." "And you are not to permit him to kill you, either, Mr, Burney." He turned to his men. "Boys, you hear that? Guard me well. My re- spectful compliments to His Majesty and tell hint, please, that I'll be back wh'enI return." He lifted his hat and rode on, but not before the girl had detected a mocking light in his black eyes and a shrewd little smile on his humorous mobile mouth. Furious, she returned to the king.

Good and Good for You Sewing Stimulates Children's Minds What New York Is Wearing l Y ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON', Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nished Wetly Every Pattern Recently a woman writer said that the sewing -machine had killed the "long white seam; and rather de- plored its passing. It is true that nowadays young child- ren are rarely given a long seam' or hem to sew. For one thing the close concentration is bad for the eyesight, and for another, children rarely do well a thing that holds no stimultts of mind. But because the long seams and hems have been crossed out, that does not indicate that the sewing lessons are stamped or ruled out. On the contrary, the educational value of needlework is realized and acted upon. Many valuable lessons are taught by needlework apart from the one of ply- ing this needle. A child is given a scrap of cretonne and joyfully sews the seams and hems, not because the actual sewing inspires interest, but because it is the road to an ultimate goal. It may be a Iittle work -bag for mother or a sponge -bag for Jimmy, but the thrill of achievement makes it easy and pleasurable. Children should be given pieces of material and various colored silks and be encouraged to thick out their own ideas and then to carry them into ef- fect. Darning Needn't Be Dull i'IIAPTER XVI. Fen Berney telephoned the king. "Well, vleat now?" His Majesty de- manded. "I rant to borrow your car for the day." "Seery, Ken. I haven't one, but I'll ask my daughter to loan you hers. Wait a minute." The minute passed and then Muriel Bardin cane on the line. "Father tells me you want to borrow any car, Mr. Burney." "If you please, Miss Muriel, provid- ed it's a five -passenger one." "It is. What do you want it for and where do you wish to go?" "Want it for a murder car. I'm going into Mexico," he replied jest- irg`y "You can't have it." "Not to save me a forty -mile ride on horseback to Huachita?" „No.., "You have a '.eart of stone," he re- plied and hung up. Half an hour later she saw him, an l,is pinto horse, ac- companied by three heavily armed riders, pass down the road in front of the king's castle. He waved to her; she shook her small fist at hini, where- at he drew a carbine from the saddle - boot and exhibited it. "I may never come 1-ack," he called. "Who cares?" she cried back. "I do " the king, from his seat on the eastern veranda, reminded her. "Seco: to me you're unnecessarily iRota toward that boy." "Wnen you get Through with him, Dad, you should buy him a first-class passage to China and give him a let- ter of introduction to Chang-tso-lin. Chang could doubtless use hint at a huge salary to murder missionaries." Is that so?" said the king. "Well, well, well. 9Notice that horse he was riding? That's the one you fall heir to after Burney's been killed." "I shall not accept him. What are he and those three ruffians with him going to do now?" I should sty, offhand, however, ISSUE No. 45—'30 To foster le love of embroidery it is a good plan to give a little one a piece of cretonne, simply designed, and some silks, and suggest that she em- broider the flowers in the right colors. Besides training her "color sense," it gives the child an opportunity of see- ing the work grow beautiful under her fingers, and so a real love of Sewing is unconsciously born. Darning sounds a dreadfully dull af- fair, but even that can be taught in- terestingly to a child. klere again we must have color to make it interesting. Canvas or comae huekaback is used for the foundation, and the child is taught the intrleate threading of a perfect darn, though, owing to the stimulating influence of color and the soft texture of the silk, it ceases to be "just a darn." The moral seems to be: if we went the children to love sewing, make the lessons interesting.—Answers, Use Minard's Liniment for Toothache.

Gland Rejuvenation Expert Will Fit Apes to Patients' Need Grimaldi, Italy: -Dr. Serge Vorono off, famous for his "monkey gland': rejuvenation operations, declared that, he believed that he was on the vergie• of another great discovery in his re- search to prolong,the life of man. He said that he hoped by classifying; the blood of monkey,: used ice rejuv enatio. operations, as other scientists classify the blood of human beings for transfusion, to be able to solve one of the greatest difficulties which he and l!s assistants have encountered since. be made his original discovery., "We have sought to discover why the average grafted gland becomes in operative at the cnd,cf a'period vary- ing from three to five years." .Seated in his laboratore et Grimaldi, the fa- mous a mous surgeon, within a stones, throw of the cages in which he keeps his many monkeys, discussed his work. which has intrigued the 'imagination of ,the world. "Our research has been successful,ie he continued. "We have taken the third step forward in rejuvenation. .The first was the discovery of my theory that if a manes worn-out glands were replaced by new ones he would: be rejuvenated. The second was the discovery' of the technique of operat- ing, enabling us to put the theory of the discovery into practice. And the third was our discovery of the reason why the average grafted gland be- comes inoperative after' a period of three to five years. We have found. the reason, and I hope that by clasel- fying the blood of monkeys we can find the remedy. WILL TAKE BLOOD TESTS. what I mean is this: When it be- comes necessary to perform an opera- tion for blood transfusion, the sur. geons do not indiscriminately accept anyone that offers himself. Instead, as is known, blood tests are taken to determine what individual is likely to be best suited to the patient -which one's blood is most suitable to mix the blood of the patient. "It is this process of classification of blood that we intend to experiment with in performing rejuvenation opere ations in future. 'In the past, the only process of elimination among monkey that we used was to give the animals. a very strict medical examination to determine only their good health and freedom from disease. "From now on we shall see to it that monkeys are used whose blood is best suited to the blood of the patient.. Tests en the monkey and the patient will he m'lde line we will make our sel,ction after eve have studied the tests. "By this :weans, we hope that the life of the grafted glands will be con- siderably prolonged, and we believe the percentage of successes in rejuv- enation operations will be considerab- ly increased." Dr. Voronoff said it was to early for definite certainty of his new theory, but that he thought the blood .tests would "solve the problem." Dirt and Curtains Render ' Windows Half Useless A vi siting :Martian seeping signs of human foolishness would need to loop no further, it Was emphasized by two speakers at tiro recent convention of the Illunlhinating Engineering Society held at Richmond, Virginia, than the, average window. Windows presum- ably aro put in hooses to let in light. Then the owners of these windows proceed, the illuminating engineers were told, to keep out a half or more of this light which they want to Iet in; as though a. dairyman deliberately Poured out on the ground half of the milk from each cow. Professor Ii. H. Higbie of tho University of Michigan pointed but at Richmond that the light which an open window would admit may be cut down from one-fourth to one-third by dirt which accumulates on the glass between cleanings. A. J. Martin, of the Detroit Steel Products Company, deported tests ahowing the largo percentages of light cut oft by curtains, valances, shades and other impediments with welch home . win. dews usually are equipped. The al- most lmost universal habit of drawing down a roller shade to the mid -point of the Window frame may result, Mr. Martin reported, in the loss of 60 per cent. of the daylight which otherwise would enter. Fly screens covering the whole of a window may reduce the total light by b0 -per cent. It is better to use screens an the lower halves of windows only, this being the part which usually is opened, and also the part which admits the least sky light and which can best be spared.
