CHAPTER XXVIII.
"It was wrong of you to suggest the
enterprise to him," the girl quavered.
"And now, if he's killed, the memory
• of it will always Abe between us."
To hide his discomfort and- contri-
t`.on His Majesty elected to pretend
;Inger. • "Why should it?" he charged.
"Ho wouldn't be the first man to be
killed in my employ in the discharge
o_ his duty; the men on my payroll
may not select the peanuts and leave
the bard walnuts to somebody else. 1 "I have • a report of Ken gurney,
pay accordingly." Dad," she confessed.
"But he's such a splendid youngi "T.he devil you have. Where'd you

you haver.'t got more money now then
you know what to do with"
procure it for me. He did"
"It isn't the money. Money means "Oh, Lord," the king demanded,
"why weren't you born a boy? I'd
retire and make you president of the
Bardin Land and Cattle Company to-
morrow if you had been. What's the
report?"
"Kenneth Burney is thirty-two
years old, son of Felix Ortego Peralta

Graduate of Tres Pinos High School
leased land
'with three years in Santa Clara Uni-
versity, whera he never had a high
mark and never failed to pass a
course. He was a member of the glee
club and did well in college dramatics,
with a leaning toward burlesque.
"When the Lusitania was sunk and
we failed to declare war he decided
to declare it himself, so he went to
England and enlisted in a cavalry
regiment, the Berks Yeomanry. He
served during 1915 and 1916 in France
and then his regiment was sent to
Egypt. Ile served in Egypt and Pal-
estine until the end of the war, was
wounded twice, has two medals of
sor.-ts,.:and between battles learned to
play polo :on•the desert sands. Return-
ed to his father's ranch after the war
and raised polo ponies and trained
them and played polo at Santa Bar-
bara and Del Monte.
"He has already informed us that
he went into vaudeville to reimburse
his father for i note the latter had
endorsed for him; when that was paid
he quit vaudeville; then you took his
father's cattle; his father had to lease
the ranch and Ken made up his mind
there wasn't anything else to 'do ex-
cept follow the line of business lie
loved best—the cattle business. So
here he is."
"What c'.o you deduce from all this?"
the king queried warily. He was be -
qualities. And after he mopped up E
Cajon Bonita with that odious Miguel
Gallegos I knew he was real. There
are so few real men in the world—
and besides, he's such gorgeous com-
pany. Really, Dad, he's quite an old-
fashioned gentleman. You just know
he isn't the type that thinks that every
girl that Iooks at hint is his slave."
"Oh, my great patience, Muriel.
First you couldn't bear the thought
of him having human blood on his
hands and yet the minute he admits
having knocked off eight men you
cheer for him."
"That was a fair and open fight, in
self-defence, with the odds seven to
one against hila." She mopped her
eyes, led him to a big overstuffed
chair, made him sit down and then
sat down on his lap with her arm
around his neck. She was smiling
whimsically now through a film of
tears.

Muriel, I'd rather lose every dollar I
have and start in all over again with
tubercular scrub cattle, ease an
and outlaw horses than take orders
from two crooks and pretend I like it."
"I can understand that, Dad, but oh,
it does seem too terrible to send a man
like Ken Burney to do the job!"
"My dear," the king sighed, "I've
got to send him. He's the only man
I've been able to find with any relish
for the job and the only man I think
who stands a chance of putting it over.
It would be murder to send anybody
else."
"The only capital he has is his life
and you're asking him to invest that
in your business. It isn't fair."
The king realized he had to be rough
with her. "What the devil causes you
to think so well of this wandering
troubadour?" he roared.
"He's a man. A" first I suspected—
almost believed—that he was all on
the surface—a cheap movie -actor -hero
type, so I did not hesitate to high -hat
him. But after he showed me I
couldn't walk on him and get away
with it—when '- realized he wasn't the
sort of man who would admit an error
he hadn't committed to tickle the van-
ity of a eaprieiou i woman—the sort cif

well, I just couldn't help comparing
him with other young men I know.

Measurements of Pluto
Some new measurements of Pluto,
the planet discovered this year, were
presented by two Mt. Wilson astron-
omers, Dr. Seth B. Nicholson and
Nicholas U. Mayall.
Pluto's next midsummer evidently
will come in the year 1989, for then he
will be closest to the sun. His own
year, the time he takes to swing
around the sun, is 247 years, 3 months
and about 10 days.
His mass, which may intricate close-

FREQUENT
PAINS
NEVER let a throbbing head
interrupt your shopping! Or
a they pain that Aspirin ends so
uickly. These harmless tablets
are an antidote for the most
acute pain. Relief is almost
instantaneous. Taken in time,
they will break up a cold and
head off discomfort. They'll
relieve your suffering from
neuralgia, neuritis, or the like,
at at time. Thousands of
women depend upon Aspirin
tablets every month to spare
thein from those pains peculiar"
to woolen. These tablets'do pot
depress the heart; they may be
used as frequently as there is
need of their quick comfort:,
So, it's folly to endure any;
pain that Aspirin tablets could
relieve so promptly. Get the '
genuine, which is always •, tti
be had at any drugstore
