Men Pieter What Is Celled Monotonous -Work. Is it not a faet that some people prefer what is called monotonous work—the same thing over and over again, asks an article in Answers, while other people cannot endure it? Some people can think of things. while their fingers are at work. The writer once saw a button -maker feed - ng her ;machine and reading a book t the same time. She liked her job. Many a worker will say, "I like a job that I am used to, where nobody others me." Henry Ford found that has workers did not Iike to be ehang- ed about. He found that some men meld sooner have monotonous jobs than be foremen. An English firm in the Midlands offered to train its workers for high- er jobs. Very few applied. They pre - feared monotonous jobs to response -- niter Someone took the trouble to ask 2,140 coal miners what they thought about while they were at work. There were 500 who said they thought about heir work, 700 who said they thought about other thing?, and 900 a who said they thought t th g about nothing. The writer would say that the 500 tvho thought about their work were tivor'chy of promotion. The others were not. They worked .like auto- mata, and did not mind the monotony 0f their work.

Judith arrives and announces she has bought Gray's share in the ranch and, will run it. She discharges Trevors. The men on the ranch dislike tak- ing orders from'a girl, but bysubdtt ing a vicious horse and proving he thorough knowledge of ranch life Judith wins the best of them over Lee decides to stay. Convinced her veterinarian, Bil Crowdy, . is treacherous, Judith dis charges hien, re-engaging an old friend of hes- father's, Doc, Tripp. Pollock Hampton, with a party of friends, comes to the ranch to stay permanently. Trevors accepts Hamp- ton's invitation to visit the ranch, Judith's inessenger is held up and robbed of the monthly pay roll. Bud Lee goes to the city for more money, getting back safely with it, though .his horse is killed under hint. Both he and Judith see Trevor's hand in the crime. Hog cholera, hard to account for, breaks out on the ranch. Judith and Lee, investigating the scene of the holdup, climb a moun- tain, where the robber must have hid- den. A cabin in a flower -planted clearing excites . Judith's admiration. It is Lee's, though he does not say so. They are fired on from ambush, and Lee wounded. Answering the fire, they snake for the cabin. Here they find 13111 Crpwdy wounded. Dragging him into the building, they find he has the money taken from Judith':: messenger. Beseiged in the cabin, they are compelled to stay all night, • briefly. "What is it?" • "I am a little worried, Carson," said Hampton, "about Miss Sanford. I'm afraid—" g "Afraid? Afraid of what? You do- -ln't think she eloped with your Jap or Stole the spoons, do you?" snapped Carson, He had been interrupted at the crucial point in a game of crib- bage with Poker face and the cattle- man's weak spot was cribbage. He glared at Hampton beligerently. "Where is Leo?" questioned :Clamp - - ton sharply. "Why didn't he come?" r "Demme" answered Carson, still , without interest. "I ain't seen him. Wasn't in for supper—" "I tell you," cried Hampton, angry 1 at Carson's quiet acceptance of facts - which to hint were darkly significattt, "he, too, was out with his rifle today; I saw him myself. Now he fails to show up! Don't you see what all this points to?" Carson, who seldom lost his poise, with one-half of his brain still given over to the hand he meant to play with Poker Face, merely sighed and shook his head. Hampton came swiftly to Carson's side. "They left the Lower End this afternoon and came on here. ' Then, both armed they rode away again at four or five o'clock, I tell you, man, something has happened to them," "Doe's believe it," retorted Carson. "Not for one little half -minute, 1 do- n't. What's to happen? Huh? "You know as well as I do what sort of characters are about, The man who robbed Charlie Miller -who shot at Bud Lee-" "Whoa!" grinned Carson, "Don't you go and fool yourself. That stick- , up' gent is a clean hundred miles from here right now an' still going real NOW READ ON - It came about, quite as matters of- ten do, that at the three-mile distant ranch headquarters it was one who knew comparatively little of the ways of this part of the world who was first to suspect that all was not well with Judith Sanford,' To Pollock Hampton her failure to appear at din- ner was 'significant. He learned from Mrs. Simpson that in the afternoon Judith, after a hur- ried Witch, had taken her rifle acid ridden away Where? Mrs, Simpson did not know. "Hurried lunch?" said Hampton. "Took her rifle, did silo?' His eyes had grown very serious as he stared down into Mrs, Simpson's concerned face.

"Pollock is going to see what is t matter," she announced excitedly. Hampton passed swiftly throe the courtyard.

Who are you? "I'm Burkitt, Tommy Burkitt, yo know—Bud Lee's helper. I—I a afraid something has happened, Le hasn't come in yet. They tried to pic him off once already, you'know—" "Neither has Miss Sanford corn in," said Hampton quickly, sensin here at last a fear that was fellow t his own. "They rode toward the Up per End.'You know the way, Bur kitt?" He moved on toward the corral Burkitt turned and came with him, "Sure 1 know the trail," inuttere Tommy. "You're goin 'to see what' wrong with 'em? Miss Judy, too. M G—d—r "Bring out a couple of horses, Hampton commanded crisply. "We've lost bine enough already," ' "I'll go tell Carson an' the boys—" "I have already told Carson. He says it's all nonesense. Leave him alone." Tommy, boy that he was, asked no further questions, but ran ahead and brought out • two horses. In a twinkling he had saddled them and the two riders, each with a rifle a- cross his arm, were hurrying over the mountain trail. In the blackness which lay along the uppdr river Hampton gave his horse a free rein and let it follow at Tommy's .heels. When, finally, they drew rein under the cliffs at the lake's edge all was silent save for the faint distant booming of the river below thein. "Now which way?" whispered Hampton. Tommy was shaking his head in un- certainty when suddenly from above there came to them the sharp report of a rifle. Then, like a bundle of fire- crackers, a volley of half a dozen stac- cato shots. "Listen to that, Burkitt," muttered Hampton. "They're at it now—we're otr time--" Tommy slipped from the saddle wordlessly, came to Hampton's side and tugged gently at his leg, whisp- ering for him to get down. Leaving their horses'there, they slipped into the utter darkness of the narrow chasm in the rocks which gave access to the'plateau above,. "Now," cautioned Temmy guarded- ly, at they came to the top, "keep close to me if you don't want to take a header about a thousan' feet. Look! he nudged Hampton and pointed,. "'There are two horses across yonder; Bud's and Miss Judy's most likely."' Hampton did not see them, did not seek to see them, Something new, vi- tal, big, had swept suddenly into his life, Ile was at grips first-hand. with unmasked, pulsing forces, "They're at. it now," he whispered to Burkitt, Men—yes, and a girl—were shooting, not at just wooden and paper targets, but at other men! At men who shot back, and shot to kill. "Listen," said Burkitt. "Soure- body's in the old.cabin; somebody's'' outside. "Which is which? We got to be awful careful," They began a slow, cautious, ap- proach, slipping from bush to bush, froin tree' to tree, stabling motionless now and then to, frown into the folds of the night's curtains. Abruptly the firing ceased. They made out vag- etely the two forms of the attackers, having located them a moment ago by the spurting flames from. their guns, Then, "Got enough in there?„ canoe the snarling voice of Quinnion, "If you haven't, I'm goin' to burn yott out an' be d --d to you!"

"Give 'eta 11--3, Tommy Coni lag," Withhis words came the sound o the door snapping back against th wall, the reports of Tommy's rifle and Hampton's pumping hot lead afte two racing formas, "'They'll get away!" shouted Hamp ton, a sudden red rage upon him "Curse it! It's too dark—" Then Tormmy gave over shooting and yelled to Lee to hold his fire, For instead of two there were three flying forms three fast -racing, blurr- ing shadowy shapes merging with the night. Pollock • Hampton, his rifle clubbed in his hand, was running with a college sprinter's speed after Quin - Mon and uin-nionand Shorty, calling breathlessly; "Look out, they'll get away!" "Hampton, come back!" shouted Lee, running after him. But Hampton was gaining on the heavy -set Shorty and had no thought of coining back. Nor a thought of anything in all the wide world just then but overtaking the flying figure in front of him. Shorty stumbled ov- er a fallen log and rose, cursing and nailing: "Chris! Lend a hand," That little chance of an uprooted tree saved Hampton's life that night. Shorty, falling' had dropped his gun and hurt his knee. For a moment he ;groped wildly for the lost rifle, then ran off without it. Hampton cleared thelog and, with a yell rather befitt- ing a victorious savage than the young Irian whom Mrs. Langworthy hoped to call her son, threw his long arms about Shorty'•s neck. "I got 'him!" shouted Hampton. "By glory—" Shorty drove a big brutal fist smashing into his captor's face. But Hampton merely lowered his head, hiding it against Shorty's heaving shoulders, and tightdning his grip. Shorty struggledto his feet, shaking at him, tearing at him, driving one fist after the other into Hampton's body. But, with a grimness of pur- pose as new to him as was the whole of tonight's adventure, Hampton held on. Judith and Lee and Burkitt came to them as they were falling again. Now suddenly, with other hands upon him, Shorty relaxed, and Hampton, his face bloody, his body sore, sank back. He had done a mad thing—but tri- umph lay in that he had done it. "A man never can tell," muttered Bud Lee, with less thought of the captive than of the captor—"never can tell." "I am thinking," said Judith won- deringly, "that I never quite did you justice, Pollock Hampton!" Thursday, December llth, 1930 staple and hasp on , the grain -house door had been wrenched away and f that Shorty was gone. Carson's face• c was a dull, thick red. Not yet had he Ile brought himself to accept the :full sig - r nificance of events. A 'hold -tip, such as Charlie. Miller had experiiieneed, is one thing; a continued series of incl- dents like these happening upon the confines of Blue Lake Ranch, was quite another, Only too plainly he realized that Shorty had had an ac- complice at the ranch headquarters, who had come to his assistance. Carson blamed himself for the es- cape. "Quinnion might have let hind:' loose," he mused as he went slowly to the housd to tell Judith what had' happened. "An' then he mightn't. If' he didn't, then who the devil did?" • Judith received the news sleepily and much more quietly than Carson: had expected. "We'll'have .to keep our eyes open after this, Carson," was her criticism. "We've got tokeep an eye an our own men. Some one ,of our crowd,. taking my pay, is double-crossing us. Now, get your "men on the jurrap and'. we won't bother about the milk -spill- ing, If we are in luck we'll get hien yet. And Quinnion, ` Carson! Don't. forget Quinnion. And we've still got Bill Crowdy; we'll get everything out of him that he knows." During the day Emmet Sawyer, the Rocky Bend sheriff, came, and with hini Doctor Brannan. Sawyer assur- ed Judith that he woud be followed by a posse lied by a deputy and that they would' hunt through the moun tains until they got the outlaws. To all questions put him Bill Crow- dy answered with stubborn denial of knowledge or not at all. He had been alone; he didn't know any man named Quinnion, he didn't know anything about Shorty. And he hadn't robbed: Milner. That canvas bag, then, with the thousand dollars in it? He had found it; picked it up in a gully, (Contisued Next Week) CHAPTER VIII Just a Girl, After AIl. Hampton's captive, known to them only as Shorty, a heavy, surly man whose small, close -set eyes burned evilly under his pale brows, rode that night between Hampton and Judith down to the ranch -house, he main- tained a stubborn silence after the first outburst of rage. Burkitt and Lee, despite Judith's objections because of Lee's wounded leg, remained at the cabin with Bill Crowdy. Crowdy had lost a deal of blood and, thotngh he complained of little pain, was'cleerly in sore need of medical attention. , Crowdy, like Shorty, refused to talk. "Aw, h—1," he grunted as Lee de- manded what influence had brought him with Shorty and Quinnion into this mad project, "let the alone, can't you?" The events of the Test of the night and of the morrow may be briefly told. —Shorty's modest request for a glass of whisky was granted him, Then, his hands still bound securely by Car- son, he was put in the small grain - house, a windowless, ten -by -ten house of logs, An aclnitirable jail this, with its heavy padlock snapped into a deeply -imbedded staple, and the great hasp in place, The key safely in Ju- dith's 'possession, Shorty was left to his own thoughts while Judith and 7lannptont went to the house. 7 it answer to Judith's call, Doc Tripp canie'without delay, left brief disconcerting word that without the shadow . of a doubt the hogs were stricken: with cholera, and went on with his little bag to see what his skill could do for Bill Crowdy. "Ought to give hint suphur !tunes," grunted Tripp, But his hands were very gentle with the wounded mat, for all that.' Pollock Bampton lead no thought of sleep that night; didn't eo much as go to bed. He lay on a couch in the living room, and Marcia L atngworw thy,. tremendously moved at the re- cital Judith gave of Hampton's hero- ism, fluttered about hitt, playing nur- se to her heart's desire, Mrs:: Lang- worthy . eoinpitteently ang-worthy.eomplacently looked into the future and to the maturity of her own. plans, Before daylight Carsoi with i, w ti ;t half dozen suets, had breakfasted; saddled and was ready to ride :to the topper' End to begin the search for Qnlnnion.

He found that some men meld sooner have monotonous jobs than be foremen. An English firm in the Midlands offered to train its workers for high- er jobs. Very few applied. They pre - feared monotonous jobs to response -- niter Someone took the trouble to ask 2,140 coal miners what they thought about while they were at work. There were 500 who said they thought about heir work, 700 who said they thought about other thing?, and 900 a who said they thought t th g about nothing. The writer would say that the 500 tvho thought about their work were tivor'chy of promotion. The others were not. They worked .like auto- mata, and did not mind the monotony 0f their work.

Judith arrives and announces she has bought Gray's share in the ranch and, will run it. She discharges Trevors. The men on the ranch dislike tak- ing orders from'a girl, but bysubdtt ing a vicious horse and proving he thorough knowledge of ranch life Judith wins the best of them over Lee decides to stay. Convinced her veterinarian, Bil Crowdy, . is treacherous, Judith dis charges hien, re-engaging an old friend of hes- father's, Doc, Tripp. Pollock Hampton, with a party of friends, comes to the ranch to stay permanently. Trevors accepts Hamp- ton's invitation to visit the ranch, Judith's inessenger is held up and robbed of the monthly pay roll. Bud Lee goes to the city for more money, getting back safely with it, though .his horse is killed under hint. Both he and Judith see Trevor's hand in the crime. Hog cholera, hard to account for, breaks out on the ranch. Judith and Lee, investigating the scene of the holdup, climb a moun- tain, where the robber must have hid- den. A cabin in a flower -planted clearing excites . Judith's admiration. It is Lee's, though he does not say so. They are fired on from ambush, and Lee wounded. Answering the fire, they snake for the cabin. Here they find 13111 Crpwdy wounded. Dragging him into the building, they find he has the money taken from Judith':: messenger. Beseiged in the cabin, they are compelled to stay all night, • briefly. "What is it?" • "I am a little worried, Carson," said Hampton, "about Miss Sanford. I'm afraid—" g "Afraid? Afraid of what? You do- -ln't think she eloped with your Jap or Stole the spoons, do you?" snapped Carson, He had been interrupted at the crucial point in a game of crib- bage with Poker face and the cattle- man's weak spot was cribbage. He glared at Hampton beligerently. "Where is Leo?" questioned :Clamp - - ton sharply. "Why didn't he come?" r "Demme" answered Carson, still , without interest. "I ain't seen him. Wasn't in for supper—" "I tell you," cried Hampton, angry 1 at Carson's quiet acceptance of facts - which to hint were darkly significattt, "he, too, was out with his rifle today; I saw him myself. Now he fails to show up! Don't you see what all this points to?" Carson, who seldom lost his poise, with one-half of his brain still given over to the hand he meant to play with Poker Face, merely sighed and shook his head. Hampton came swiftly to Carson's side. "They left the Lower End this afternoon and came on here. ' Then, both armed they rode away again at four or five o'clock, I tell you, man, something has happened to them," "Doe's believe it," retorted Carson. "Not for one little half -minute, 1 do- n't. What's to happen? Huh? "You know as well as I do what sort of characters are about, The man who robbed Charlie Miller -who shot at Bud Lee-" "Whoa!" grinned Carson, "Don't you go and fool yourself.

He learned from Mrs. Simpson that in the afternoon Judith, after a hur- ried Witch, had taken her rifle acid ridden away Where? Mrs, Simpson did not know. "Hurried lunch?" said Hampton.

They tried to pic him off once already, you'know—" "Neither has Miss Sanford corn in," said Hampton quickly, sensin here at last a fear that was fellow t his own. "They rode toward the Up per End.'You know the way, Bur kitt?" He moved on toward the corral Burkitt turned and came with him, "Sure 1 know the trail," inuttere Tommy. "You're goin 'to see what' wrong with 'em? Miss Judy, too. M G—d—r "Bring out a couple of horses, Hampton commanded crisply. "We've lost bine enough already," ' "I'll go tell Carson an' the boys—" "I have already told Carson. He says it's all nonesense. Leave him alone." Tommy, boy that he was, asked no further questions, but ran ahead and brought out • two horses. In a twinkling he had saddled them and the two riders, each with a rifle a- cross his arm, were hurrying over the mountain trail. In the blackness which lay along the uppdr river Hampton gave his horse a free rein and let it follow at Tommy's .heels. When, finally, they drew rein under the cliffs at the lake's edge all was silent save for the faint distant booming of the river below thein. "Now which way?" whispered Hampton. Tommy was shaking his head in un- certainty when suddenly from above there came to them the sharp report of a rifle. Then, like a bundle of fire- crackers, a volley of half a dozen stac- cato shots. "Listen to that, Burkitt," muttered Hampton. "They're at it now—we're otr time--" Tommy slipped from the saddle wordlessly, came to Hampton's side and tugged gently at his leg, whisp- ering for him to get down. Leaving their horses'there, they slipped into the utter darkness of the narrow chasm in the rocks which gave access to the'plateau above,. "Now," cautioned Temmy guarded- ly, at they came to the top, "keep close to me if you don't want to take a header about a thousan' feet. Look! he nudged Hampton and pointed,. "'There are two horses across yonder; Bud's and Miss Judy's most likely."' Hampton did not see them, did not seek to see them, Something new, vi- tal, big, had swept suddenly into his life, Ile was at grips first-hand. with unmasked, pulsing forces, "They're at. it now," he whispered to Burkitt, Men—yes, and a girl—were shooting, not at just wooden and paper targets, but at other men! At men who shot back, and shot to kill. "Listen," said Burkitt. "Soure- body's in the old.cabin; somebody's'' outside. "Which is which? We got to be awful careful," They began a slow, cautious, ap- proach, slipping from bush to bush, froin tree' to tree, stabling motionless now and then to, frown into the folds of the night's curtains. Abruptly the firing ceased.

"Give 'eta 11--3, Tommy Coni lag," Withhis words came the sound o the door snapping back against th wall, the reports of Tommy's rifle and Hampton's pumping hot lead afte two racing formas, "'They'll get away!" shouted Hamp ton, a sudden red rage upon him "Curse it! It's too dark—" Then Tormmy gave over shooting and yelled to Lee to hold his fire, For instead of two there were three flying forms three fast -racing, blurr- ing shadowy shapes merging with the night. Pollock • Hampton, his rifle clubbed in his hand, was running with a college sprinter's speed after Quin - Mon and uin-nionand Shorty, calling breathlessly; "Look out, they'll get away!" "Hampton, come back!" shouted Lee, running after him. But Hampton was gaining on the heavy -set Shorty and had no thought of coining back. Nor a thought of anything in all the wide world just then but overtaking the flying figure in front of him. Shorty stumbled ov- er a fallen log and rose, cursing and nailing: "Chris! Lend a hand," That little chance of an uprooted tree saved Hampton's life that night. Shorty, falling' had dropped his gun and hurt his knee. For a moment he ;groped wildly for the lost rifle, then ran off without it. Hampton cleared thelog and, with a yell rather befitt- ing a victorious savage than the young Irian whom Mrs. Langworthy hoped to call her son, threw his long arms about Shorty'•s neck. "I got 'him!" shouted Hampton. "By glory—" Shorty drove a big brutal fist smashing into his captor's face. But Hampton merely lowered his head, hiding it against Shorty's heaving shoulders, and tightdning his grip. Shorty struggledto his feet, shaking at him, tearing at him, driving one fist after the other into Hampton's body. But, with a grimness of pur- pose as new to him as was the whole of tonight's adventure, Hampton held on. Judith and Lee and Burkitt came to them as they were falling again. Now suddenly, with other hands upon him, Shorty relaxed, and Hampton, his face bloody, his body sore, sank back. He had done a mad thing—but tri- umph lay in that he had done it. "A man never can tell," muttered Bud Lee, with less thought of the captive than of the captor—"never can tell." "I am thinking," said Judith won- deringly, "that I never quite did you justice, Pollock Hampton!" Thursday, December llth, 1930 staple and hasp on , the grain -house door had been wrenched away and f that Shorty was gone. Carson's face• c was a dull, thick red. Not yet had he Ile brought himself to accept the :full sig - r nificance of events. A 'hold -tip, such as Charlie. Miller had experiiieneed, is one thing; a continued series of incl- dents like these happening upon the confines of Blue Lake Ranch, was quite another, Only too plainly he realized that Shorty had had an ac- complice at the ranch headquarters, who had come to his assistance. Carson blamed himself for the es- cape. "Quinnion might have let hind:' loose," he mused as he went slowly to the housd to tell Judith what had' happened. "An' then he mightn't. If' he didn't, then who the devil did?" • Judith received the news sleepily and much more quietly than Carson: had expected. "We'll'have .to keep our eyes open after this, Carson," was her criticism. "We've got tokeep an eye an our own men. Some one ,of our crowd,. taking my pay, is double-crossing us. Now, get your "men on the jurrap and'. we won't bother about the milk -spill- ing, If we are in luck we'll get hien yet. And Quinnion, ` Carson! Don't. forget Quinnion. And we've still got Bill Crowdy; we'll get everything out of him that he knows." During the day Emmet Sawyer, the Rocky Bend sheriff, came, and with hini Doctor Brannan. Sawyer assur- ed Judith that he woud be followed by a posse lied by a deputy and that they would' hunt through the moun tains until they got the outlaws. To all questions put him Bill Crow- dy answered with stubborn denial of knowledge or not at all. He had been alone; he didn't know any man named Quinnion, he didn't know anything about Shorty. And he hadn't robbed: Milner. That canvas bag, then, with the thousand dollars in it? He had found it; picked it up in a gully, (Contisued Next Week) CHAPTER VIII Just a Girl, After AIl. Hampton's captive, known to them only as Shorty, a heavy, surly man whose small, close -set eyes burned evilly under his pale brows, rode that night between Hampton and Judith down to the ranch -house, he main- tained a stubborn silence after the first outburst of rage. Burkitt and Lee, despite Judith's objections because of Lee's wounded leg, remained at the cabin with Bill Crowdy. Crowdy had lost a deal of blood and, thotngh he complained of little pain, was'cleerly in sore need of medical attention. , Crowdy, like Shorty, refused to talk. "Aw, h—1," he grunted as Lee de- manded what influence had brought him with Shorty and Quinnion into this mad project, "let the alone, can't you?" The events of the Test of the night and of the morrow may be briefly told. —Shorty's modest request for a glass of whisky was granted him, Then, his hands still bound securely by Car- son, he was put in the small grain - house, a windowless, ten -by -ten house of logs, An aclnitirable jail this, with its heavy padlock snapped into a deeply -imbedded staple, and the great hasp in place, The key safely in Ju- dith's 'possession, Shorty was left to his own thoughts while Judith and 7lannptont went to the house. 7 it answer to Judith's call, Doc Tripp canie'without delay, left brief disconcerting word that without the shadow . of a doubt the hogs were stricken: with cholera, and went on with his little bag to see what his skill could do for Bill Crowdy. "Ought to give hint suphur !tunes," grunted Tripp, But his hands were very gentle with the wounded mat, for all that.'
