When they part, Barry leaves for home and comee across the murdered body of his brother, Robert. Barry starts searching for the murderer and finds a spot to get gold. He goes to Tylersville to get money for it. There he meets Judge Blue and his daughter, Lucy, who helps him to get $450 for his gold. Judge Blue also tells him that a 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 meets Jesse. He ac- cuses Jesse of killing his brother and of being the Laredo Kid. Judge Blue comes up behind, knocks Barry unconscious' and tells Jesse (Laredo) that Barry knows where there is gold and he's keeping him until he finds out where it is. Barry escapes, however, and as he is rid- ing through the mountains a shot whizzes past his ear. The man who fired the shot explains that he thought Barry was the Laredo Kid and that he had pledged himself to killing the Kid. Barry and his new acquaintance, Timberline, become friends. Barry leaves him in his search for Laredo and finally goes to Red Rock where. going through a valley, he sees three men attempt- ing to capture a beautiful girl. Barry rescues her, finds where she lives and then heads for a nearby cabin • in which he formerly lived. There he finds Timberline occupy- ing the cabin. ,: . CHAPTleR <XII The girl looked from one to an- other, not knowing what to think. "You are the man—" she began. Barry nodded. "On the trail, yes. And you're Lucy?" - "I am Lucy Blue, yes," she said quite coolly. "Then we used to be friends." saicl Barry. "Friends for one short day anyhow. I am Barry Haveril. It was three years ago. at Tylers- ville." She gasped and her eyes opened wide. Then she studied him harder than ever. "I—I wouldn't know you," she said slowly. "You have changed a great deal." "Sometimes a few years make differences. I didn't know you ei- ther. And any cousin here, Jest: Conroy, has changed more than we have, I think. But I knew his voice—" "Is that .why you thought hint your cousin?" At last she laughed a little, but even so there remain- ed a tenseness in the room.

This is Tom Haveril—" "Tom Havarti?" asked Barry frowning, "I never heard of any Tom Haveril." "It you should happen to •be a Haveril," said the other man smil- ingly, "I suppose you know some- one hereabouts who can vouch for you?" He Knew—And He Didn't! "Willy, of course!" exclaimed Barry. "My sister! You know her, too, Miss Lucy! You knew her in Tylersville; she has the sante name as you. Lucy Haveril she was, than Lucy Blount." "Oh!" exclaimed Lucy. "Of course I know her. She's my dearest friend. If—if you should really prove to be her brothel., I'd be so happy!" A dull, baffled rage seethed with- in hien: He knew this was Jesse, the Laredo Kid—only he didn't know! "I'll be going now," he said slow- ly, and felt defeated, To the iman he said, "If you're Cousin Jesse, and 1 think you are, then you're Lar- edo too, and I'm going to kill you." He headed straight to Red Rocic to see his sister and have her go but to Judge Blue's to talk to Lucy. The first man. he encountered was old Timberline, just starting back to camp. Timber greeted him with enthus- iasm, inspired, Barry suspected, by a drink or two. The old man said: "I seen young Hen March, Sun- down, an' it's all fixed. He was jus' lookin' aroun' for a chance like this. You see, he's a minin' :man an' always was, but not like me. Minin' engin-ear, is wli.at lie' says he is." Barry said, "Fine," I'ie rode on. A. few minutes later be saw the many yellow lights .of ).ted 'Zook down below hisn, and Beard Red Bock roistering, Be thought: "I'm going to get Sister Lucy out of that Place. She can keep house for Timber and sne-- 'l%'hcii we get a house." Where Was Loy? But Lucy wasn't at the lunch counter, and her assistant didn't know where she was or when she was conning back, Where did she live? Hack yonder a piece, with the Prices, Mrs. Price, sitting on her porch whena. Barry rode up, hadn't seem Lucy and wasn't expecting bee; it wasn't time for her to be coming home. Barry left word that he'd be back, and rode to the saloon. There were perhaps forty men in :the place, yet almost instantly Barry's roving eye found Tam. Pfa- veril, and marked who it was witlli. him. It was Judge Blue. Barry strode through the long room making a bee line to the two at the far end of the bar. "Rollo, Judge," he said quietly.. The Judge regarded himm a mo- ment without speaking, taking him' in from head to foot. Then, "Do I know you?" 11e said. "Don't seem to place you." "I hoped you'd remember me. I'm Barry Haveril, Three years ago, over at Tyler—" "I remember that day. I remeem- ber Beery Haveril. Changed a lot, liavcn.'t you?" "Not more than most folks ,around n ' age do in three years. I' was just a kid then, I guess." The Judge's eyes bored into him. "And you—if it was you—walked out on me that night without a word!" "There were reasons," said Bar- ry. The Judge nodded slowly. "My daughter Ludy," lie said pre. sentry, "was beset by some ruffians on the trail. If it was you who gave her a hand, I have you to thank. And if you can ever lead me to the ruffians—" "One was called Sarbo•e," said Barry. "But I didn't come Here to talk of this, and I don't want any thanks. But maybe= you can tell ;me who this man is that you're drink- ing with?" "You're A Stranger Here" "Why," cried the Judge., and sounded heartier, "it's my friend Tom Haveril! By thunder! If you are Barry Haveril, you two might be related!" "I'm not Bunting my kinship," said Tom Haveril, "I think we are cousins, and that this is Jesse Con- roy. They used to call trim the La- redo Kiri. You'd know, Judge!" T be TBy SADIE B. CHAMBERS Happy Thanksgiving to all!
