When they part, Barry leaves for home and comes across the murdered body of his brother, Robert. Barry starts sear- ching for the murderer and is be- friended by Judge Blue and his daughter, Lucy. Judge Blue tells him that a gun Jesse gave him is the gun of a murderer known as the Laredo Kid. The Judge invites Barry up to visit him and there Barry meets Jesse. He accuses Jesse of killing his brother and of being the Laredo Kid. Judge Blue comes up from behind, knocks Bar- ry unconscious. Barry escapes, how- ever, and meets an old man named Timberline, who also is gunning for the Laredo Kid. Barry finally goes to Red Rock where, going through a valley, he sees three men attempting to capture a beautiful girl Barry rescues her and finds she is Lucy Blue. At the house he meets a man called Tom Haveril whom he suspects may be his cous- in Jesse. He accuses him of it but proves nothing and is himself ac- cused of being the Laredo Kid. Barry says his sister Lucy, in town, whom they all know, will identify him. They sop in a barroom An town and several of those present start to go to see his sister. CHAPTER XIII "She isn't at the lunch right now," said Barry. -The Judge looked astonished. "No? That's funny; she's always there this time of night; I usually run in, pretending it's coffee I want when I'm in town. Where is she?" "I don't know," said Barry. Then he let his hand down to his side, •close to his gun. For it flashed on ;him that he was in some sort of crap. The Judge looked at him a mo- ment, then downed his drink with- out a word. He moved as though to leave the room, turning his back on Barry. Barry, grown watchful, noted that every man in the room was looking his way. The Judge's voice bloomed oat sonorously: "Watch hint, boys! It's .my bet and it's Tom Haveril's that he's the Laredo Kid! Don't kill him unless you have to—but don't let him get away!" "He's the Laredo Kid!" Barry sprang back, to get the wall behind him, and snapped his gun out of its holster. But as he did so he saw the lamplight glisten on some two score other guns, and every unwavering barrel was turn- ed on him, "Go slow, :Laredo, if that's who you are!" called the Judge, reson- ant and commanding. "Make u wrong move and you're dead forte times! Steady dues it, and you've got a chance." Barry did not stir. "You boys can get rule if you want to," he said steadily, "but I'm betting drinks for the crowd that I'll get two of you, and that's 1 wise counter ISSUE 42—'40 1) as many as you'll get of me—and those two will be the Judge and the man :who says .he's Tom Ha.v- eril." "If you're the Laredo Kid," said the Judge sternly, "you won't last until morning. If you're Barry Ha- veril, no one's going to lift a hand against you." •Bary said drily: "I don't hanker to peg out tonight. You see, boys, I've got a couple cf jobs I'd like first to finish. One is to nail a, cer- tain hombre's hide to my barn door —and I haven't got any barn yet!— Now keep inside your shirts! I'll have the barn and a few other things I get through with my sec- ond job: that's to develop a gold mine that's been waiting for me more than two years." "You're doing a lot of talking." said the Judge. Barry said, and not even the ele- gant.Tom Haveril was ever mare drawling: "Give me a fair trial, with everyone of these men in ou it, and I'm with you." "I Like This Lone Wolf" A. young fellow, big and blond, came shouldering forward. "IIe's right and he's playing his hand straight out," he announced in a deep bass voice, "Until we find out the right of it, I'm chipping in on his side." "Better go slow, Ken," said Tom Haveril, speaking up for the 'First time. Barry didn't fail to catch the name. This blond young giant might be Ken March, the new partner whom old Tiimber was taking on. "Why should I go slow, Toni?" demanded Ken Marek. "I've al- ready said I like the way this lone wolf plays his hand. Then," and a slew, good-humored grin played across his heavy features, "there's something else. You heard him says he's got his pick into a mine? Well, I believe it, and what's more, maybe he and I are pardners!" He turned to Barry. "You're the fellow Tim- berline told me about?" "That's so," nodded Barry. "You 'haven't asked me to chip in," said March, "and from the look of you, you're not given to yelling for help. Just the same It seems you're a stranger here—and I'd be glad to line up alongside the Judge in seeing you get a square deal," Instantly Barry made up his mind. He grinned back at March. "Thanks—pardner," was all that he said, Then he recklessly played a high card. win or lose. He suddenly shoved his gun back into its hol- ster, ignored the many guns trained on him and stepped to the bar. From his pocket he jerked the small buckskin bag containing the major part of his golden gleanings of two j'ears ago; he poured the little dully gleaming heap out on the bar. "There's more where that came from, boys," he called out cheerily. "No reason we should all go dry; step up; it's on me," Thus he strove to center their interest on his gold, knowing well enough that in any case' a few hours would spread talk of it. Bat Tom Haveril, still leaning lazily against the bar, was single -purpose ed. He said: "A while ago you said you had a sister here, Lucy Blount, and that she could settle this." "Why. so she can!" cried Barry. "Beano," ano," nodded Toni Haveril, He glanced about the room "Suppose a. committee of you bn a goes and [nits it #tp to her? f 1 c e inn we'll take iter word." Ken March looked at tl irry, and Barry nodded. But he had to add: "The only trouble is that l don't know where she is. r$hc' -doesn't ee;.m to. be anywhere in town." Another man spoke up s1'nrply. "I seen 'her just a little while ago, when it, was hardly more'il dark. She was ridin' out 6' town. A couple o' boys was with brr.

Individuality In Coiffures Keynote of Present Trend; Drape Hair as If It Were Fabric How to wear one's hair is a per- plexing problem in the fall. A change of hadr-do helps a lot in boosting the we-ty ego, especial• ly after the summer months when the Handsomest of coiffures begins to get a little tiresome. It would be pleasant to be able to report 0 new "trend" in hair styles, but the trend idea seems to have been supplanted in the beauty salons by an insistence on designing coiffures to bring out the best in each in- dividual. Perhaps the salon schools, where pupils learn how to be dev:,, astatingly charming and lovely on au individual basic, are respons- ible.
