Nikki's father, PETER JEROME, is a wealthy New York jewel merchant. * Yesterday: Nikki and Steve see Santo in the valley and then they recall the shot they had heard earlier. CHAPTER XI They waited, hidden on the hill- top, and watched the man below as he picked his way across the valley and started to climb the mountain opposite them. "We can't be very far from camp," reasoned Steve. "Santo wouldn't take a chance on getting back to the camp alone if he wasn't 'very sure he could find his way." "We can follow him," said Nik- ki. "As long as we keep him in sight," said Steve. "But I don't think ranch following will be nec- essary. I have a feeling we won't have to go farther than over that trill, ' They waited a moment until they were hidden from Sarto's view eby his own progress, and then they ibegan their descent into the val- ley. Steve led the way to the spot where they had first seen him.

T E And that "accident" on the trail, Steve was sure now, wasn't an ac- cident, Event to an inexperienced horseman like Sarto, it must have been obvious that a sharp kick would send his horse surging for- ward and that gravity would do the rest, "Steve, Iet's be careful." "We will be." He glanced at her reassuringly. Into An Automatic They were walking on now, fol- lowing the unmarked path that Sarto had taken to the top of the 20 hill. It was still early, Nikki won- dered what time yesterday Woody had reached camp with word of the landslide. Ile couldn't have known for sure that they were safe and had not been buried under the slide. She knew they would start search- ing immediately. 'Uncle Jim and Rance must be nearly crazy, she thought. They reached the top of the hill and the camp spread out below them, an eighth of a mile away. Smoke arose from the fire in front of the cabin, but there was no sign of life. "Sarto is there somewhere," said Steve. "We'd better circle a little and come up from the left. There's more cover that way." They made their way down the hillside and toward the camp, Pick- ing their path carefully and trying to keep the trees and brush be- tween them and the clearing, but there were many open spaces where there was no cover. Still there was no sign of life. The camp looked deserted. Then as they came cautiously from the last fringe of trees, Sarto stepped from behind the cabin. His right hand held a stubby, wicked automatic. "I thought you'd be coming along," he said. "Move on over near the fire, Don't try any funny business. We're playing right up my alley now." He patted the pistol. "This is a baby I know some- thing about. I don't miss with it." (To Be Continued) R coeYRIGH1.. le3f1, NEA 6ERVlCE, INC. preached the edge. "It's barely pos- sible our friend Sarto might come back. Suppose you wait behind this clump of bushes and keep watch while I explore this ravine. Maybe we can find out what he was doing here." Nikki waited, feeling that Steve was much more afraid of what he might find in that ravine than of Sarto's return. Steve walked cautiously down the incline, his eyes searching the surface of the depression below him. As he reached the bottom he turned to his right and followed the ravine to that end but found nothing. It was scarcely ten feet across at the bottom, irregularly rocky and pitted where rains had dipped into formations softer than the rest. He turned and started for the other end of the gully. He stepped on a dead limb and the sharp crackle started him, A buzzard circled slowly overhead, wheeled in the cloudless sky and was join- ed by two of his black fellows. The sun glinted brightly on some- thing ahead and the sharp reflec- tion caught Steve's eye. He stepped around a thorn - limbed bush and stopped abruptly as he came upon the body of Wade Bancroft. An Instant Death He was lying face downward, his arms flung forward, one almost a pillow for his head. His legs were twisted oddly under him, as though he had made a supreme effort to turn when the bullet had struck him—in the back. After the first shock of surprise, Steve examined the still form care- ,, fully+. glee ltcrooi had evidently died almost instantly, The bullet had struck him in the left side of the back and if it had not penetrated the heart, it must have been very close, Steve decided. There was no sign of a struggle and the rocks left no story that he could read, but it didn't seem to Steve that much deduction was necessary. "But why Bancroft?" lie thought, and then his instincts told him to waste no more time there. His eye caught the shadow of the impatient vultures sailing with the wwinrl currents overhead, and he stripped off his own jacket to cover Bancroft's head and shoulders, weighing the edges down with rock's, Then he hurriedly cut brush and made a rude shelter that he thought would last for several hours. Nikki greeted him with obvious relief and questions unspoken. "Bancroft," he said briefly. "Shot through the back." Nikki gasped. She had been pre- pared for other things but hardly that. -Bancroft," she repeated. "But Steve, why?" Steve shook his head. "Don't know. I was afraid it would be Fiske." Nikki nodded, The same fear had possessed her, but now a companioning dread drove out every other emotion, every other thought. What had happened while they were. away? Oh, she was such a fool. Why had she done it? "Steve," elle said. Her mouth was dry. Words were 'lard to form. "Uncle Jim and Rance —"Her eyes were questions enough. Steve shook "his head. "I don't know. But I wouldn't worry about them yet. They're not babes iu the wood." The Bodyguard Dear God. And she had let them all come on this trip without a warning. Bancroft was dead. The shock of that discovery almost madet her forget his menacing—to her --part in this strange drama. Icer mind went back to her fath- er and to the meeting on the train.

There's A Formula To Please Worn;>. n New visiting Detroit is a man who can manage women and says so himself. He is Dr. Joseph Mad- ison Woods, president of one of the Continent's outstanding col- leges for women, Stephen College et Columbia, Mo. Dr. Woods also if e's intuition Highly Praised Judge of Toronto Family Rela• tions' Court Says "It's Great Asset in the Holme --- Wom- en Like to Be Appreciated" Those who scoff at the notion women gain knowledge "by intule tion" will get no encouragement in their skepticism from Judge H. S. Mott, head of the Toronto Family Relations Court. The peacemaker in a hundred family battles he warned husbands last week that however quick they themselves are at reasoning, their wives' power of intuition is "a great asset in the home." "I want to say to you Hien," he declared, "that while your wile doesn't perhaps seem to reason, she appears to have been given a special sense of the truth that can loop forward to what's going to happen, and get closer to it than all man's reasoning." With Sons And Daughters Recalling that in the course of his work lie had "seen a lot of human- ity's mistakes," Judge Mott said that a sense of being appreciated was the motive that led women to go through much of the drudgery- of rudgeryof the household. Fathers who want to manage their teen-age daughters will also have to appeal to their love of appreciation, because "authority will antagonize," he said, whereas the confidence of sons at the same time of life can best be gained by encouraging their natural impulses toward "doing and planning." Even Hat Makers Laugh This Spring Think That Millinery For Wom- en Is Beyond All Hope You've pro'lebly already noticed —women's hats have become even more peculiar this spring. That's the consensus of most men, and hat manufacturer Jack Page, of St -„Louis, agrees. Let him relate a few of his worries: "Sales gone up? I should say not! "Even the retailers don't like them. "Just try selling these hats in small towns in Illinois, Missouri or Kansas, , "Salesgirls open a _box of hats, --take 0110 look and burst: outjau„lete ing, —After 37 years in the millin- ery business— "One customer writes: 'They're hardest to wear and most difficult to sell. We've come to the conclu- sion that, if we cannot offer some sensible hats, we would rather not near ourselves out trying to sell them and lose money too.' "Then listen to another letter from an old customer: Want Something Matronly "'Received your box of hats. Some of them are the darndest flats I ever saw. I have seen lots of them in Europe, Ethiopia, Asia and Africa, but none like those they are wearing now. Send me a dozen nice matronly hats in black and navy.

Care Makes Your Rug Last Longer Buying a rug is usually a con- siderable investment and the housewife should rightly expect good service 111 return. But she can do her part, too, to lengthen its wearability. She knows that a good rug cushion net only lessens ordinary wear and tear, but snakes the rug itself appear thicker, softer. She turns the rug about occasionally to more evenly dis- tribute wear and she makes sure that no unevenness is allowed to remain underneath to cause exces- sive wear in one spot. She goes over the rug with a carpet sweep- er every day, vacuums at least once a week and has it shampooed or dry-cleaned once a year. And if a tear or burn occurs, she has it mended right away.
