Yesterday: Death is narrowly
averted on the trail when Sarto's
horse plunges into Fiske's. Steve
saves the day.
CHAPTER VIII
Uncle Jim strode over to where
Sart° still sat astride his trembl-
ing horse,
'What in burnin' blue blazes did
you do to that Lorse?" he almost
shouted, his voice blurring with an-
ger. "Do you know you came so
near killin' a man that it was only
the grace o' God that saved him?
And Stave 'Mallory," he added. Sar -
to mig::' be a guest but that didn't
save him.
"Did you kick him or hit him
back there? What made him jump
like that? Mister, he's been ridin'
this trail for years and he never
done nothiee like that before."
Sarto climbed down from the
saddle sullenly.
"IIow' do you get that way " he
was snarling. "Who do you think
you're talkie' to? I don't know
anything about horses. How should
I know what happened?" Uncle
Jim examined the girths.
Bancroft's quiet, purring voice
broke in.
"Mr. Sarto isii't accustomed to
horses and mountain trails," he
said. "Perhaps I shouldn't have in-
sisted that he come along."
He shot a quick glance at his
companion.
"I didn't intend that anything
Like this should happen. I think
he will get along better when we
get to the camp."
"Maybe I was a little hasty," ap-
ologized Uncle Jim, but he reform-
ed the line and put Sarto just be-
hind Rance, Bancroft next and the
others trailed them.
Nikki studied the grc..p while
this conversation went on. Fiske
had regained his calm and gave no
indication that he thought the mat-
ter anything but aa accident..Sar-
to's face didn't tell her anything.
She had never seen it anything but
sullen blankness. She reached over
and touched Steve add wished for
a moment they were both. back at
the ranch, She had fully decided td •
tell Steve everything. If I had done
that in the first place we'd all be
safer, she thought. Steve said:
"You all right?" and she smiled
back and nodded. They continued
on up the trail.
Encamped
Just before dark they reached
the cabin where it squatted among
the trees at the edge of the timber
line on a plateaued ridge of Squaw
Mountain. It had been built there
several years before as a base for
hunting parties. There was one big
room with a wood fireplace that
Served the doublepurpose of heat-
ing the cabin and for cooking in
bad weather. This roam was lined
with double -deck bunks. Behind It
was a snarler auxiliary room with
only four bunks, This Uncle Jim
turned over to Nikki, as the bunks
in the larger room would easily ac-
commodate the men.
In pleasant weather, all the cook-
ing was done outside over an open
campfire and the hunters squatted
around this same fire on their
heels to eat from tin plates and to
d ink coffee from tin cups which
To -Day's Popular Design

unquestionably were hotter than
anything else ever devised.
•Within a few minutes of their ar-
rival Woody had a big fire going.
A few minutes later the satisfac-
tory hissing of searing steaks ac-
companied the mysterious night
sounds of the mountains that al-
ways begin the moment the sun
has set. The fire light sent flicker-
ing fingers of light scurrying oft
into the darkening fringe of tim-
ber.
"Nothing's Going to Happen"
Nikki strolled over to Steve and
said:
"Steve clear, please be careful. I
am going to tell you about Ban-
croft and Dad and all just as soon
as we get a minute alone. But will
you please be careful in the mean-
time? And don't get late any sort
of trouble with Bancroft. or Sarto,
either. Will you promise?"
"Sure. But nothing's going to
happeu to me. How about a little
promising on your account?"
"I'm all right," she assured him.
"Except that I'm getting a little
bit scared."
"Scared of what? You're not let-
ting that little accident this after-
noon frighten you? Wait a min-
ute. You don't think Sarco deliber-
ately tried to push Fiske off the
trail?"
"I don't knout, but that's why I
want you to be careful. I can't tell
you any more. Here comes Rance"
The First Accident
"Well" said Rance. "How'd you
stand the trip? Feel any the worse
for your dive this ' afternoon,
Steve?"
"Not a bit. Feeling find"
"That's good." A frown wrinkled
Rance's forehead. "I can't under-
stand how it could have happened.
We've brought 20 parties up here
and that's the first accident, I
know that equipment was all right.
I saddled Sarto's horse myself this
morning." He turned. "Well, I've
got to go straighten out the hunt-
ing stuff."
"He's a bear for details, isn't
he," said Steve grinning, "The
Lazy R stable looks like a filing
cabinet. One of the men told me
Rance couldn't stand to see a thing
out of place. I'd bet money that ac-
cident didn't happen through any
slip-up of his."
"Rance is grand," defended Nik-
ki. Steve laughed.
"Sure he is honey. I didn't' mean
anything against -him. I like the
big towhead."
Just then Woody called and they
went over to get their plates and.
cups and have them filled. They
ate hugely and after their camp
supper sat quietly over cigarets
and watched' 'the + eddying flames
as' the night wind 'explored the em-
bers.
Nikki rose from her cross-legged
position and walkad slowlypast
the edge of the clearing and out
of the light cast by the fire think-
ing Steve would see and follow.
But he was busily engaged with
'Woody in a discussion over whe-
ther a deer or an antelope was the
•,most difficult to. hunt. Nikki was
leaning against a tree staring at
the stars which seemed tod znagic-
ally close, when she heard Ban -
deft speaking,
' "You look lonely, out here."
"I wasn't," said Nikki. Bancroft

"Listen, baby. The things we.

me. The things—"
A Fight
There was a loud prackling as a •
clumsy foot trod on a fallen dead
branch. Bancroft drew back as
Sarto burst full upon them.
He stopped and stared, open
mouthed. IIe started to say some-
thing when Bancroft beat him to
it.

"You blundering, meddling fool;

Lashing himself into blind anger
with his own words, Bancroft then
struck out furiously. His fist
caught the smaller man on the side
of the chin, and he fell stumbling-
ly backward. Bancroft 'stood over
him a moment, rubbing the'
knuckles of his right band, his
hard breathing audible.
Nikki fled back to the campfire.

The Secrets
of
Oood Looks
6"
FACE UP TO SPRING!
After our long winter, with ov-
er -heated houses and stuffy atmos-
phere, our faces need rejuvenat-
ing. Here are a few timely hints
to help you freshen up your skin
and give it a petal -like smooth-
ness.
The first essential is to keep the .
skin immaculately clean. Wash
with gentle Palmolive soap to
cleanse and smooth the skin, then
rinse with cold water.
The face and neck should be
creamed daily. Never stretch the
skin, because stretching paves the
way for wrinkles. Pat the cream
gently over the skin with the fin-
ger-tips.
Incidentally, there is a delight-
ful new three -purpose cream that
is very good. It cleanses thor-
oughly; then it acts as -a- founda-
tion cream, and finally it is a tis-
sue cream.
Use this cream, and leave it on
over -night, unless you have an oily
skin.
The third vital step in our
-Spring-time beautifying treatment
is to have a face mask once a
week. Here is another excellent
face mask to add to those I've giv-
en in recent articles: take two
tablespoonfuls of cooked oatmeal,
four tablespoonfuls of glycerine
and two tablespoonfuls of rose
water. Mix these to a thin paste,
then apply to the face and neck
evenly with an up -and -out stroke.
Allow the mask to harden,
it and
when thoroughly dry, rinseoff
with tepid water.
Write to me about your per-
sonal beauty problems. And de-
tailed leaflets on the following
subjects are available for a 3c
stamp each: Face, eyes, hair,
bands, bust, feet. reducing in
spots, slimming, superfluous hair,
underweight.

Four Dentists Report They All
Have Perfect Teeth
Four doctors from the. Ontario
Dental College examined the teeth
of the Dionne Quintuplets last
month and reported to Dr, A. R. Dar
foe, their personal physician, that
tb.e molars of Yvonne, Annette,
Marie, Emilie and Cecile remain
perfect.
"The Toronto dental experts come
up to give the teeth of the girls
a complete check-uP and to see
that they at the hospital are doing
a good job," Dr. Defoe said after
the examination.
He said the examination showed
the girls' teeth were without ca-
vities and were stainless, and re•
marked it was "most unusual"for
children nearing their fifth birth-
day to have such faultless teeth.
Making the examination were
Dr. Arnold Mason, dean of the col-
lege; Dr. C. A. Corrigan, chief of
staff; Dr. Allan R. McCay, of Mel-
bourne, Australia, and Dr. J. Bee:
son, Sydney, Australia.
