Instinctively lie refrained. from showing all he had. The waiter looked startled. "Wait a shake," he said, and de- parted. Barry, leaning out from hit• cubbyhole, saw hint go out .on the sidewalk and disappear; he was seeking the proprietor. Presently a stocky, sandy hair- ed man with slate -blue eyes and a constant blink, came and stood over Barry and peered at what was in his hand. "Two pieces o' fancy cake aft' sody?" he said. He scooped the contents of Barry's hand into his own. "All right, buddy; we'll call it square this time," he said. And then Barry was consviGus of the big blond man, the Judge, standing up, towering over the partition. Barry looked straight into a pair of bold, very Baric brown eyes. "What is it, Al?" the Judge asked the proprietor. "Doesn't happen to be gold now, does it?" Al whirled about. "Hello, Judge," he said. "I didn't, see you and Miss Lucy." "PAY ME BACK LATER" "I reckon not." The judge smiled after a fashion to warm a man. At least, so Barry thought. Al said hurriedly: "I was jus' goin' to step ottt an' get it weighed so's I could give this young feller his change." • "Sure," smiled the Judge. "Sure." He extended his hand and AI • said, "Shore, Judge," and gave him the gold. Scarcely glancing at it, the Judge returned it to Barry. "Step right next door into the General Hardware Store," he said. "You can get it weighed there and you'll get -honest weight. I'll pay for your lunch here." "Pin obliged, Judge," said Barry, "but I like to pay my own way." The. Judge laughed; Tardy saw Miss Luey's bright eyes peeking out at him from behind the big man. "It won't amount to much, I reckon," the Judge said, "and you can pay me back. Go ahead into the store; I'm dropping in there myself in a minute." A PRETTY GIRL So Barry thanked him again and took his hat and rifle and went out, conscious all the while of those lively bright eyes of Miss Lucy's. "She is real pretty," he thought. "Something like Sister Lucy, too." It was but a few steps to the store. As Barry stepped in he thought: "Judge 'huh? Why, he's Judge Blue. Sure to be. And he can tell me about Lucy and all my folks!" To the man behind the counter he said, "I want to buy some things. The Judge told me you could weigh my gold for me." "I shore can if you ain't got so much as to break my scales down," the storekeeper admitted, "What do you want to buy?" "Some shells for my six-gun," ice::- •.., $1.(22.

He. un - holstered it and put it on the counter. "Forty-fives," he said. The storekeeper reached for the gun; he turned it over slow- ly in his hand, seeming to study it. "Where'd you get this gun?" he asked. "Seems like I've heard of a gun like this before," said the other, still turning it over. "Don't know what kind of wood this is; ntanzanita maybe, but it's so bloody -red a man sort of re- members it. Where'd you say you got it?" "Didn't say," answered Barry. "Got any shells for it?" "That gun belonged once to a killer, kid. They call him the La- redo Kid." GUN LOOKS FAMILIAR "What's he look like?" asked Barry. "Never saw him, an' glad of it. You ain't hien, are you?" "No. And I guess there's other guns like this. .Let's, see your shells." He holstered the six-gun; he . meant to holster further discus- sion along with it. Just then the Judge carne in. "Hello, Digby," he said. "I told this young man you could handle his gold for him. Fix hirci up all right?" "Evenin', Judge," said Digby. "Let the Judge see your gun, • kid." "He says one like this belonged to the Laredo Kid," said Barry, and held it out for the Judge to look at. The Judge seemed interested; he handled the heavy weapon just as the storekeeper had done, then 'handed it back without saying anything. • "I asked him where he got it at, said Digby. The Judge's lips twitched into a smile. "What did. he say?" he asked of Digby though he was looking straight at Barry. "He didn't say," snorted Dig- by, and the Judge laughed soft- ly. "All right, all right," mutter- ed Digby: "Pour out your dust, young feller, an' I'll tell you ]low much." This time Barry emptied his pouch on a piece of wrapping pa- per, making a small neat gold hill. Digby jerked 'up his brows but said nothing; he did look sharply at the Judge. This time it was the Judge who spoke, briskly. "Look here young fellow, i don't know where you got that—" "1:'s mine all right," said salty. To Digby he said, "Are ycZu goin' to weigh it?" ISSUE 33—'40 I) Speech Can B Charming And . A Remain Simple I L E Fanny Words Show Poor Taste in Your Speech As soon as she has eliminated hard tones from her voice—eziM ly by learning to keep her ton- gue, throat and jaw relaxed and to pause Tor breath between sen- tences—the woman who is deter- mined to speak charmingly re- • solves to improve her diction. Voice teachers agree that per- feet speech is not marred by col- locluialisms, and is simple and 11u1 affected, of course. Fancy speech is never pleasant. Don't say "`I retired" instead of "I went to bed." "Or I desire to purchase" when you mean "I want to buy." Or "I attended the theatre" instead of "I went to the theatre" or "I went to a show." THE BROAD "A" IS A STICKER If you are a broad "A" addict, do be consistent. If you say "can't" with a broad "A" other times, you'll be laughed at. Unless you were brought up in a broad - A -speaking family or have been using the broad "A" since you were no more than ten, better forget about it. Because natural- ness is the keynote of effective speech. IT'S REAL GOLD "But I am going to tell you something." The Judge's voice was compelling and Barry looked into that pair of bold, leaf -brown eyes. "You went the right place when you showed your gold in the restaurant if you want, word of it all over town inside half an hour. Well, it's your business and you look dry behind the ears." He turned and went out, merely saying over his shoulder from the door: "If you get in trouble it's your doing, not mine. But let me know. Just tell anybody you're a friend of thine. It might help." "Who's he?" asked Barry of the storekeeper. The other star- ed. "Hell, don't you know hien? 'He's Judge Parker Blue." "Though so," nodded Barry. "How much in money does it weigh?" "Four hundred fifty dollars," snorted the storekeeper, "Want to take it all out in ca'tridges, huh?" "Give me the money," Barry told him. "Then 1'Il do some buyin> " (To Be Continued) Wrong Number Because his men repaired bills evtrottg house, a eontlractor Winnipeg has been ordered 'to v $700 for damages done in reps' ing the house that did not rt.ed it.

Something Rarer There's a note in every song That's sweeter than the rest, There's a moment in each day That is divinely blest. There's a hope in every heart That's bound to bloom in glory, There's a phrase in every book Far wiser than its story. There's a perfume in a flower That's sweeter than its beauty- There's eautyThere's a standard gleaming white Shining high above plain duty There's a prayer in every pain That illuminates the bearer, There's always in our lives The touch of something rarer.

And an inexpensive one, for, of course, color is the cheapest ingredient. One decorator feels that every room should have a touch of red somewhere in it—just as every lady should have her lipstick. Tur- quoise pottery also has a way of perking a room up effectively. Copper trays and jugs can make a mighty big splash for shall expense; so can brass and pew- ter. A TIP TO THE AMATEUR Actually most home -makers are scared to death of bright colors, but here is a tip on how to get away with bright colors in decor- ations. The amateur is safer to try just one really scintillating color in a room—such as brilliant cerise in a room that's otherwise mostly in shades of greys. Or emerald green to counter -balance the deadening effect of the all - taupe room, or with gradations of beige to brown. Lapis Lazuli blue is lovely with dusty pinks and rose -beiges. INiEXPERIENCE CHANGES If you can't afford to work out these ideas in any really mo- mentous changes, you can create quite a change of scene by mak- ing fresh lamp shades and cush- ions, adding new curtains even if they're made of inexpensive ma- terials framing a few bright prints, buying some new pieces of pottery. Babies Have Fun In Unique Way When a doctor asked through the American Medical Associa- tion's journal, for advice on bow to stop a baby from getting on his hands and knee; and roc'.;- ing in his cradle "with such force that the bed made a great deal of noise," he was told, in effect, to skip it. This baby also had a habit of bumping his head on the head board, without injur- big himself, until be fell asleep, "There seem: to be no good teaun why an effort should be made to break the habit of bed rocking or bead banging," the Joarnal advised.
