Barry helps to take care of his wounds and Jesse gives Barry his putt, a very un- usual one. When they part Barry leaves for home and comes across the murdered body of his brother Robert, Bary starts searching for the murderer and goes into the mountains to find gold to use for continuing his search. He finds a good spot, gets gold and goes to Tylersville to get money for it. There he meets Judge Blue and his duaghter Lucy, who helps him to get $450 for his gold. Judge Blue also tells him that the gun Jesse gave him is the gun of a murderer known as the Laredo Kid. The Judge in- vites Barry up to visit him and there Barry discovers the horse and saddle which was •stolen from his brother Robert when he was kill«d. He finds out that it be- longs to a cowboy who will re- turn that night. He waits outside the stable and finally a rider comes up who turns out to be Jesse Conroy. * 4 s• CHAPTER VIII It was nearly an hour later when Barry had his second visitor. A slim white figure bent over him. It was Lucy in a long night- gown with something thrown over her shoulders. As he rear- ed up on his elbow she said, "Sh!" almost at his ear. Incoherent at first, her rush- ing words only 'perplexed him • anew. But he caught, "Go!• Oh, go quickly! Get up and go! You must—You can, can't you? You're not hurt too badly, are you?" He sat on the edge of the bed and Lucy's face as so close to his oven- that, in what dim light littered in from the • stars,. he could see her eyes in a white face, and her eyes were big with fright. Even her voice, whisper- ing as it was, was charged with terror. The Whole Story It came in a wild jumble of words. There were things which she wanted to hold back, which she' had not thought that she could speak of to anyone, and yet in her frantic state before she was through he had nearly the whole story. First of all, she had known that the Judge lied this afternoon when he told Barry that Zachary Blount had taken Barry's sister out of town—for Lucy herself had seen Zachary and the Judge together going into a store just before the Judge joined her to drive home. And she had seen and overheard what occurred at the stable. "He --that man—yours' cousin, he is the Laredo Kid!" she told Barry fearfully. And then she told the rest of it, and ended with her frantic plea: "You'll go! Ole Barry, Pm afraid—Promise me!" "Yes," said Barry, and slipped from the bed, groping for his hat and the new carbine. "T'Il slip out and go now." She clutched him, and whisper- ed shiveringly. "I'm seared to death. Barry."

But, "No," she said. "I'll be all right. Anyhow, for a while. Until the Laredo Kid comes back and --Oh, Barry! He wants mei" Barry said, "I won't go with- out you!' "You must!

They may be watching for you. In three days, Barry?" The evening appointed for the meeting with Lucy found him at Lookout Point, high on the moun- tain side above the Judge's fine house, hidden in a brushy thicket from which he could watch the steep zigzag trail. Dark carne and there was no sign of Lucy. He waited an hour, then withdrew higher up into the mountains. He came back each sunset time; on his third coming he saw something which had been here. all the time, waiting for hint, passing' unnoticed. Dear Barry, if anybody finds this it will be you, because no one ever comes up here. I am writing this the very next day after you left. I am to be taken away this very day—and I don't know why and I don't even know where! Oh, I hope you are all right! And, Barry, I do wish I had gone with you. You will conte back when it is safe, won't you? I'll ride up and leave this now—Pin tell- ing hint I'm going to say good- bye for a while to Lookout. I'll put it half under a stone and I hope you find 447 -Good-bye, Barry. Lucy. "1'm Not Laredo" "Tomorrow," meditated Barri*, making his swift silent way through a bit of forestland where he crossed a tiny upland valley toward his new hideout, "I'11 go see my folks. I've got to tell them about Robert." As he passed through a small open glade a shot rang out and a bullet cleft the air, close to his ear, and with it came an exultant shout: "Got you, Laredo' Got you, you dog!" Bary leaped as a deer leaps, clear of the opening among the trees and into a patch of brush, and leaping fell and rolled and brought up crouching, his own gun in hand, in a shadowy gully: A second shot and a third whizz- ed over his head. "Hold it, or I'll burn you down! I'm not Laredo. You've got the wrong man!" There was a silence out of which finally a puzzled voice, sounding disgruntled, muttered: "Not Laredo, huh? Who says so? You'd say so if ytth was Lar- . eke" ' "Don't be a fool," grunted Barry. "Ire you know Laredo, you know his voice, don't you?" Reluctantly the voice admitted: "WI t I don't sound like him, that's a far'. But yull looked ed sort of like he does—And what yule prowling :around like this for if yule ain't Laredo?" 'You make nee sick," snorted Barry. "You came mighty close lcnonking me over, you jackass," (To Be Continued) Forgets Her Name; The Wedding's Off A. couple appeared before James A.

Over -Coddling Is Detrimental Lack of Responsibility "Soft- ens" Child and May Keep Him Immature 011 His L.ife "Arrested development" means that the mind does not oontinue on to maturity but stops somewhere along the line. Many people are mentally no older than eight or ten years, although their physical age may be in the twenties or fifties By and large most cases of arrest- ed rrested development are emotional.

He must learn to obey, accept normal punishment -and struggle to get on, for effort and victories make maturity; lack of responsibility softens and keeps the individual unformed. 11th Commandment "Tbou shalt not smoke" was adopted as an extra Command- ment by the Swiss in the seven- teenth century.

Social Justice Should Be Our Post*Warr Aim Writer of Poem King Georges Quoted In ills New Year's Ad. dress Speak:. to Canadian University Women Aim of governments after the war must be for social justice, Miss M. Louise Haskins, of Banff, Alta. formerly of Loudon, England, said in addressing the triennial conven- tion at Calgary of the Canadian Federation of University Women's Clabs, Miss Haskins, who became fam- ous when the words a a poem she wrote some years ago were quoted by His Majesty in his New Year's radio address, held that the charac- ter of general government which" win come after the war may be show to emerge but its nucleus should appear in terms of a peace treaty, HEALTH BIG PROBLEM The former London School of Economics staff member said that certain necessities of the post-war world could be forecast. The world would face after the war most of the conditions of the last war but those conditions would be in- tensified, with the mast serious Problems those of health. Any remaining luxuries of life must be strictly curtailed as long as the vital needs of good health were unfilled, and `Arousing pro- jects would be a part of the health scheme, she believed. Great private fortunes would not have a part in the post-war world, she predicted. Exercise Keep Hands Flexible And Youthful—bo You Want Expressive Hande? Here are directions ;'which keep fingers and wrists flexible and therefore youthful. Clench fists so tightly that knuckles turn white, even open them wide, spreading fingers far apart. With forefinger of the right hand, bend thumb and each finger of the left hand slightly back. Reverse, using forefinger of left hand to tilt thumb and fingers of right hand backward a bit. Repeat from the beginning. Place elbows against sides, wrists relaxed, palms facing up- ward. Keeping elbows in position, flap hands up and down. This removes any tendency towards stiffness in the wrists. Without moving elbows, turn palms to- ward each other and repeat the flapping movement. Bend elbows, place fingertips about an inch apart at chest height. Now, make believe that you are shaking waster from fingers. Repeat slowly for 30 seconds, then rapidly for another 30. Canuck Marriages Up 134 Per Cent Marriages in Canada in July, 1940, jumped. 134% per cent over July, 1939, and were the largest in any month since the war be- gan last September, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports. Marriages in July totalled 10,- 231 compared with 4,385 in the same month last year while the number in September last year was 7,966. One of the probable reasons for the big increase last month was the dictum of the National War Services Department that any man married after July 15 would be considered single for purposes of the National Resources Mobil- ization Act, STAR LUNCHEON FOLIES 4,,k6Wst 4106' .• t:44'4aao + cBe P444,444'. ot lip be 401, 7104 e ^!se Va • ba 'deegteNJ' Mr.aW6y M AO 04R 0a*a 1set; .QrMl•� e4 e • a �*jPAb�.`+ p i• t, b, k 40 d :r+4 4 I*.*.1*•r0 wy7( ifrp,1.T.,tr .1,*f e4'moeoe"••* t���?i}t`,e*i/ i4v.tr °* %'a• �g•�,— ,w+,44',�' tl rtje411,04 j'81%,n�� t1* eV 9x,7+"rely rW.Oft �11 ` .A . • Ara af ti fie s, ** a**, '4,''*; Design Na, 322 ...° 1.'otn' sizes of crocheted luncheon doilies create a comp) tc : 't fol. formal see i(e.

A L Kw +J By SADIE B. CHAMBERS Some Tasty Desserts For Early Autumn The homemaker's mind can be at rest for the day • from the chief anxieties of menu -planning, if she plans the meat and vege- table courses early and then the dessert. Every wise woman realizes it saves time and strength to arrange her meals early in the day, And now as the last fresh fruits are on the market and the evenings are chilly, we like to turn our attention to the types of dessert which have been ne- glected during the hotter months. Apples, pears and peaches, are now at their best. In all baked fruit puddings a long, slow bak- ing seems to produce a superior flavor. If baking a deep apple pie, the filling of apples and sugar should be baked slowly for about one and one-quarter hours until apples' have that reddish brown color, before placing the cover on the tc:p. This type of pie chilled and served with whipped cream is dessert fit for royalty, Baked pears makes a lovely seasonal dessert. If you are fortunate enough to have maple syrup, place pears in casserole, baste with the syrup. These may be served hot or cold. A flavor of ginger to pears is always re- freshing, This may be added to a sauce or chopped candied gin- ger added to whipped cream. Try these peach desserts for something different: Peach Surprise Cook large extra fine whole peach (pitted) in a sugar syrup (1 cup sugar to 1 cup water). Cook until soft but not broken. Cool. Spread your fa- vorie light cake ice cream. Cut in squares and on each press on one of the peach halves. Serve with a thick raspberry syrup. Cantaloupe and Peach a la mode Cut small, very ripe, chilled cantaloupes in half, sprinkle with fruit sugar. Fill centers with sliced sweetened peaches, top with whipped or ice cream. Pear Tapioca IA cup quick tapioca 1% cups boiling water ? teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons lemon juice 3. tablespoon grange juice 2 tablespoons syrup from marashino cherriee ii cup cora syrup le cup Cron syrup 0 ripe large pears Cook tapioca in double boiler with water and salt until clear. Add lemon and orange juice, syrup from cherries, sugar and' corn syrup. Peel and core pears, place in baking dish with cavity up. Place cherry in each cavity. Pour over tapioca mixture, bake until pears are tender. Serve cold with whipped cream. Pear Conserve Peel and pare one peck pears, run through food chopper, weigh, and for each pound of pears add ;i Ib. sugar. Put fruit sugar and Ira cup water in pre- serving kettle. Let come to a good boil; add grated rinds and strained juice of two lemons and 1 can grated pineapple; xi cup chopped candied ginger. Cook two hours, stirring occasionally; then pour into jars and seal. READERS WRITE IN! Miss Chambers welcomes per- sonal letters from interested readers.

There's a man against the sky On a wagon in the lane, There's a woman in the door, With her blue dress blowing now— He is bringing in the summer For the old barn's dusky mow. And the pigeons preen and strut And the swallows dart and dive, And the bees store clover honey In the apple orchard hive. Dreams are coming home once more And wild flowers fill each rut Where the slow wheels passed before— And the heart is taking in Harvests, from the wind and rain, More than any mow or bin! There's a wagon in the lane! Glenn Ward Dresbach. —in Christian Science Monitor, Don't Get Mad; Just Keep Cool "Moderation in all things— especially in summer"—that is the advice of an editorial in Hygeia, The Health Magazine, suggesting how to keep cool, comfortable and healthy dur- ing hot weather. "Don't overwork, overplay or overeat and avoid excess of alcoholic drink. Along with warning against over-exposure to the sun, the article recom- mended light, loose clothing and a diet which includes plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. "Don't get `mad'; keep cool," the editorial said. How To Reduce A Fatted Calf You Have to Get Rid of 1* To Wear Fall Frocks A glimpse at the trumpet sil- houette of fall clothes is the sig- nal for us to get that slim -and - narrow look. Otherwise our figures aren't going to fit the fashions. It's a hint that we slim our legs a bit, especially if skirts are staying short—or going shorter. The fall styles just simply focus attention on the legs. LIMBERING, STRETCHING Limbering as well as stretch- ing will give you the extra oomph hi your trumpet frock at football gauzes. All elements of limbering and stretching are found in kicking waist -high, chest -high, eye -high, overhead, backward (with the knees bent) or with a full gack- ward-forward swing. That list can be your goal, Start by holding to a chair or to the foot of your bed until you ,, squire balance. Women Criminals Definitely Deadlier There are fewer women crim- inals than male offenders, but they are more violent, the U. S. Department of Justice reported last week. Only 8.2 per cent of the arrest records examined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the first six months of 1940 re- presented women, But of each 1,•- 000 men and 1,000 women ar- rested, it was found that there were 13 women as compared with 10 men arrested for murder.
