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 Haverii 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 stop in a barroom in town and, several of those present start to go to see his sister. e * e. CHAPTER XIV Por once in his life Judge Blue was uncertain. He started to speak, then held his peace. A swift glance passed between him and Tom Ha- veril; the younger man permitted a shadowy smile to touch his lips, then shrugged. Barry went straight to leis horse. "A man gets where he's going all the faster when he rides alone," he grunted to himself, but was none- theless piqued at March's loss. Barry rode slowly, strikiug into the North Road. He came to the first clearly de- fined off -shooting trail, all but passing it ie the dark. He had scarcely sat there pon- dering five -minutes when he heard a furious pounding of hoofs, and a rides came racing out of Red Rock. "New, who the devil's that?" he wondered. The one way to find out was to follow. Barry dipped his spurs and sped after Heim. He forced •his horse at a rune up a steep hill, caane for a (moment into a clear space among the pines end of a sudden saw a light ahead. Mr. Caffeine.Nerves Quits School TEACHER: I've simply conte to the end of my rope with this class, Mr. Brown—They're so unruly they're driving me almost frantic! MR. CAFFEINE -NERVES: That's telling him! Those kids should be in reforni school! MR. CAFFEINE -NERVES: Pipe down, Brown —this is a school, not a hospital! PRINCIPAL: Now— now —It's just that your nerves are upset—I had the same trouble and found it was caused by drinking too much tea and coffee. Switch- ing to Postum fixed me up! TEACHER: Thanks indeed for telling me aboutPostum, Mr. Brown. I've been drinking it regularly and the things I worried about a month ago seem silly now! • Many people can safely drink tea and coffee. Many others—and all children—should never drink them. If you are one of these, try Postntn's 30 -day test. Buy Posture and drink it instead of tea and coffee for one month.

He saw the man souaar>, aoross a little clearing, heard star- tled voiees, a rapping at the door and voices again, sharper now. The answering voice gave Barry Haveril a distinct start, Why, this was not Tom Haveril at all! It was the booming voice of Ken Marcel saying commandingly: "Open up, Longo!" And then, when he was almost at the door himself, he heard a roar of rage—that was Tien Maven's thunderous voice for none to mxls- takel—and t,fter that inarticulate roar there carie the crash of pistol shots. Barry hit the ground running and burst into the room, gun lei hand. Ho saw in that one photographic instant a place of feeble light fes- tooned in powder smoke, with Kea March against one Wall, firing as• fast as he could pull trigger, with two men he recognized from yes- terday on the trail, Longo and Fen- nel no doubt, against another wall, pumping hot lead at Marcel --with Sarboe on a bunk, propped up, blazing away at March—with Lucy crouching in a corner. 1 A B L E T L Kr 1` ay SADIE B. CHAMBERS HERE'S TO HALLOWE'EN Hallowe'en is coming and on that night of nights let us have a lot of fun. Right away I can hear same dissenting voices, for a day or so ago whilst admir- • ing some (Hallowe'en decorations in a store window, I overheard the remarks "we should have none of these frolics this year"—and right here I am going to answer back with the reply: "We certain- ly should have all the gaiety pos- sible." This is children's and youth's night, and who of the older folks does not like to be in all the proceedings? Then we will have others listening in, we have our little English visitors anticipating our celebration of the witches' night.

With five men fighting in a room not above fifteen feet square, the thing was of necessity over almost ars soon as it started. Barry was the slightest wounded, tatting a bullet grazingly along his outer thigh while a second carried his bat off his head. Lucy. shaking pitifully and as white as death, her eyes enormous with horror, stood staring up and swayed a little and at first could not speak, Then she cried chop - !ugly, `Barry!" And then she ran and went down on her knees over Iden March, and put her tams about him, calling desperately, "O11, Ken! Dear, dear Ken! Look at me, Ken!" "Ken's going to be all right, Lucy," he said. "He's too good a man for these polecats to kill." They were still trying to find all Ken March's wounds, to see which were the worst, when again a rattle of hoof beats rang out. They were Red Rock men who had followed Ken March when with sudden inspiration he had stormed out of the saloon, calling back to them where he was going, At their fore rode Judge, Blue and Tont Haveril, "What's going on here?" denitlnd- ed the Judge, peering et Derry through the dark. "'What's hap- pened?" "A good deal has happened. We've got Lucy back, but I'm afraid Ken is pretty bad hurt." By this time Ken March was propped up against the wall, and Lucy's young tams were support- ing him. He tried to tell what had happened; Lucy finished the tale for him. She said Pennel and Lon- go, had tricked her out of town, making her think that Ken March bttd been shot. Men looked at one another, then at the, three who had fought it out with Barry end Ken Marcie. Someone called from just out- side, new a corner of the eiibin: Here's a :good tree. We want (m- other rope." Longe was dead, yet they hanger) hive up by the nock just the saline Pennel was dying, fast, ton yet hi kicked his life out alongside 1)ieit l,ougo's limp, gently sw•bying body. As for Sarboe, as they dragged) Jam, he fell to screaming with tor- ror, begging for his life. Barry watched' Sarboc's face, hung on his words as hen dragged ISSUE 43—'40 D him out to the tree. tSarboe screamed; "Save me! You save me, Tom!" Tom Haveril struck him in the face. But Sarboe screamed the lousier and a new note got into his voice, like the snarl of a coyote, and Barry heard his words bubbling out: "I'll talk! I'll tell—" Barry leaped forward, shouting: "Let Sarboe talk! Give him a show to tell what he knows. There's somebody else in this—" • A man dropped a noose over Sar- boe's head; it was Tom Haveril's hand that jerked it tight, stopping short Sarboe's words and his breath along with them, "Looks to me like you were in a alneighty hurry to shut Sarboe's mouth," said Barry hotly. Men took their departures. Last to go was Barry Haveril, The cabin was dark; someone had taken the trouble to blow out the light. With scent hope of finding any- thing, Barry began ransacking the place. He stared at the two bench- es, "Just alike. One's nailed to the wall, the other free. Why?"

Astronomers are ,trying to de- termine whether the universe is stationary or, as some contend, is expanding at an explosive rate which eventually would bring its destruction. Dr. Hclmherg reported that sev- eral of the results of his inves Vi- gation "furnish strong support for the assumption of a station- ary nebular universe."
