JIM THE CONQUEROR By PETER 11, KYNE illustrated by Allen Dean SYNOPSIS Don Jaime Miguel Hignenes, Texas rancher, and Tom .Antrizn, sheep owner, have been bitter enemies. Capt. Ken Hobart, formerly a Texao Banger, now Don Jaime's manager, IMO the Don wounded after shooting it out, with ,An- trim, who is killed. Roberto, Antrim, 15 advised of her unele's death at the hand of one Jimtuy Higgins. "Crooked Bill" Latham, an- other uncle, wants Roberta to marry bia friend, Glenn Hackett, and tells her he is on the verge of bankruptcy. He out- lines hie match -making schemes to Hackett. Den Jaime takes possession or Antrirres sheep. "You'll be put to quite a bit of ex- pense, Don Jaime." "I should say so. I have forty shearers, working day and night. Big wool crop, Caraveo tells me. In fast, those sheep should have been sheared six weeks ago, but Tom Antrim wasn't in a hurry. He had the sheep run- ning on a grass range, so they weren't losing any wool by having it torn off in the brush and brambles." "Have you authority to take posses- sion in this high-handed manner?" "Seguroi I always make my own authority.. Don Prudencio Alviso is Miss Antrim's local representative, and whatever I do will be jake with Pruden1io, who always desires to earn his fee with as little labor and worry as possible." "What are you going to do with the wool?" "Hold it here, safely, until the mar- ket goes up, or I receive orders to sell It immediately." "Who's going to pay for all this? The Antrim estate?" "It it can afford to. If it can't—" Don Jaime shrugged the indifferent shrug of one who has not been reared to do things on the half -shell, as it were. "Don Prudencio was out to see me yesterday. He has had a letter from Miss Antrim. It appears that her uncle, whose ward she is, is vary seriously threatened with the loss of his fortune. If I may judge by the indifference she exhibited toward this sheep fortune she has fallen heir to, when the news of the windfall was first broken to her, the fortune about to be lost by her uncle must be can- siderable. At any rate, she' z anxious about the sheep now and has instruct- ed Don Prudencio to guard them and preserve them. Of course, the old man was as helpless as a child and came to me for advice. I told him to wire her that the sheep were safe with me and to disabuse his placid mind of all worry concerning them." "But they aren't safe!" Ken Hobart protested. "What's to prevent Bill Dingle from driving to market the sheep still en the wange?" "You forget that Bill Dingle is my guest Caravea told the foreman to guard the sheep well and to engage other herders; that Bill Dingle would return anon, like Mary's lamb, drag- ging his tail behind him. The foreman wanted to know who was going to meet the payroll, and Caraveo told him I would." "Isn't Enrico taking a lot for grant- ed, Don. Jaime?" "Oh, Enrico knows nie pretty well. Better go to Los Algodones tomorrow, Ken, draw about a thousand dollars from the bank and pay off those sheep - men. They'll stick on the job and take good care of those range sheep, when they 'mow they're being watched. Bet - 1 ter hire half a dozen new herders for f that foreman, too, and relieve our men who are now helping him." "And do you intend keeping Bill Dingle and his men in your private hoosegow indefinitely?" "Oh, no, not indefinitely, Ken. I've only sentenced them to thirty days for trespass and assault with intent to do great bodily harm. I like to be judge .and jury in all matterthat affect my I own welfare, and. if I turned Bill ' Dingle anti his dinglets over to the law there would be the usual fuss and feathers and delay," "But Dingle claims that part oi his remuneration as manager for Tom Antrim was an interest in the lamb crop, He'll charge you with stealing his lambs and sue you for huge dam- ages," "But I'lI give his foreman a receipt for all the sheep and wool I possess myself of, I'll even give Dingle a duplicate receipt. Sign it myself, too," I "Don Jaime, you're hopelessly , me- dieval, You and all of the Higuenes I tribe have been a law unto yourselves I so long you don't know anything about ) the law of the land, Now, I've been I an officer of the law and naturally 1 an officer of the law hak'to be familiar with the law. I'm perfectly familiar with the law covering kidnapping— and if Dingle charges you with ideinsep- ping and tweets that you held him a prisoner thirty days in at effort to make him sign over his interest in those lambs, it's going to cost you lot of money to defend yontself.

"The best I'll do for Dingle is to let him have a dozen packs of playing cards and a couple of guitars for his Mexican and Basque herders to strum on." lie pondered a f ew seconds. "Yes, Pll do better than that. Pll let him have all the newspapers that come to the ranch after we've finished reading them, for, of 'course, he'll want to look at the market re- ports on mutton and wool!" Ken Hobart surrendered but not without misgiving. "How are your wounds?" he queried. "Nothing to worry about. Provi- dentially Toni Antrim used steel - jacketed bullets fired at something over two hundred yards. The bullets 'had settled in their flight by the time they reached Me, so they drilled nice, neat, round little holes that are heal- ing beautifully. Pll be on the job again in a month!' CHAPTER XIII. Crooked Bill's well -laid plan worked with the smoothness of a piston— thanks to Robeita. Her heart,. filled with sympathy for her rascally old uncle, was cheered considerably by the sight of Glenn Hackett's calm prea- ence in the library when she came down to dinner. To her airy greeting he returned one of the utmost gravity, so Roberta jumped instantly to the conclusion that Crooked Bill had bean talking his affairs over with his law- yer, promptly precipitated the drama, much to the relief of the principal actors. "Well, Glenn," she taid, "has Uncle Bill been telling you. his sad story?'' Hackett nodded owlishly. "Do you see the slightest glimmer of a silver lining to the dark clouds that beset hini, Glenn?" "All appears co be lost save honor, Bobby." Crooked Bill raised a protesting hand, "Let us not discuss it, if you please, Bobby. I am past help now, so let us forget it and glean -what meagre measure of comfort may pos- sibly be wrung from my wasted car- eer. Remember, girl, I'm not the whimpering kind." "I know you're not, dear Uncle Bill. You're a. perfectly good old sport" "I admit I was knocked for the count at first, but now that 1 leve my second wind—" "Save it for your cigar, dear. I Ineae just had a long telegram from Ny lawyer in Los Algodones, Texas. He informs me that the affairs of Uncle Tom's estate are in excellent shape and that he died leaving even more sheep than was at first suspected. They have ail been counted and the wool cyan is being garnered and placed in safety. There are about ten thousand lambs that will soon be ready for market and which should bring ten dollars a head, and there are upwards of a hundred thousand pounds of excellent wool worth thirty cents a pound—why, it would seem that Uncle Tom's estate will run close to half a million dollars. We should worry and grow wrinkles and gray hair, darling." The butler announced dinner—and between the fish and the roast, as per agreement, Glenn Hackett suddenly laid down_ his knife and fork and com- menced to question Crooked. Bill adroitly as to the exact nature of his operations in the market. And when Crooked Bill had answered all of his questions and Glenn Hackett had made a number of notations in a note -book, he resumed his meal in silence. Rob- erta, however, noted a grim little smile playing across his face from time to time, so presently, with her customary impulsiveness, she asked him to share the joke. with them ...mmonommoin*, HARDER ECG SHELLS Keep this good Canadian shell -making product con- stantly before your laying hens, and keep your good Canadian dollars. at home where they are worth 100 cents.

"At the risk of being ungracious to my host, it is my duty to inform you, Bobby, that your Uncle Bill is an ante- diluvian idiot who can't see the woods for the trees.

"Explain now," the girl commanded. "Don't you see Uncle Bill is suffer- ing?" "Let him suffer. He deserves it." "Glenn, dear, please—" "Well, when you talk to me that way, Roberta, I can't resist" And thereupon Hacket proceeded to ant - line to her, patiently and in words of one .tyllable, his plan for the salva- tion of Crooked Bill. "I understand, perfectly, Glenn," Roberta said when at last he finished. "You're _ a wonderful, wonderful friend." (To be continued.) Skimmed Milk Defended By Columbian Professor The discovery of 'Vitamin G and its attributes shows skimmed milk to have a much higher food value than has previously been known according to Professor Henry C. Sherman, of the department of chemistry at Columbia. University, who urges modification of any "unreasonable anti -skim milk leg- islation." that may have the effect of depriving the human family of this food. "Means should. be sought to bring Mitch more of the available skimmed milk supply into human consumption,' Professor Sherman declares, "not in competition with whole milk, but for the improvement in nutritive value or foods into which whole milk either does not enter or enters only to a limited and already standardized ex- tent." Discussing such advertising methods as the use of standardized. names, des- criptive labels and phrases like "vita- min. rich," Professor Sherman points out the distinction between Vitamins B, D and E, which are common and can. be artificially irradiated into foods, and 'Vitamins A, 0 and. G. Vitamins A, 0 and G, he says, con- tribute to the attainment of higher standards of health, possessing and ex- erting a. health Table in amounts much larger than. are contain.ed in most American dietaries.

It is customary in newspaper articles to write that the French have not even the word 'home" or its precise equivalent in their lang- uage, and the deduction is that the French differ entirely from the Anglo- Saxon peoples in their disregard for family life. It is amazing bow such eh- surdities can prevail. If the French differ from the Anglo-Saxons. in one thing more than another it is in their far greater regard for the home. France is built upon the home: the whole system of society is constructed on the foyer.
