"That means you've got together about things, don't it?" He laughed again. "What he got," saki Tom Hav- eril, "was a lot of pictures and au old Laredo newspaper! I guess &ie told you that? Weal, that's a loss that might lose you a nice pot of money, hut it wouldn't stretch your neck, would it? Might lose yon the money, I said --but wouldn't if you played along with me! String your chips with Barry Haveril, and where are you?" "You started out like you were going to speak quite a piece, Tom. Bogged down, though, didn't you? I don't hear anything that makes anuch sense." Won The Trick? "You're listening for it though!" jeered. Tom Haveril, "Your ears are wide open, and you're beginning to think already that you came pretty '01o4making a bad (mistake! Well, you did.

You'd hang, just as sure as crab apples grow on a crab apple tree." "You talk big, Tom Hetveril, and ever did," scoffed the Judge, but sounded uneasy. "You've got nothing to gain here tonight, Judge," said Tom Haveril swiftly, "emd everything to lose. I might get killed—Lucy might get killed -and where would you be?" Bight thele Barry knew that Tom 1Iaveril had as good as won the trick. Words Alone With Tom The Judge cleared his throat, He said gravely. "Here, let's talk this thing over." "Sure," said Toni Haveril. "JTow about it, Cousin Barry? Want to call the party off for this time?" "I've bean looking far you more than two years. Laredo," said Barry angrily. "I've followed you all the way out •to California and bac-k. Come into the open ,and tight it out." "On my wedding night?" grinned Tom Haveril, "Let me have a halt dozen words alone with Tom Haveril," put in the Judge swiftly. "We'll step into the next room. You can tell Lucy whatever you want to. All right, Tom?' Without the least hesitation Toru Haveril answered: "Anything you say, Judge. Sure it's all right with me. Suit you, Sundown?" A look flashed from Tom Heveril to Judge Blue. Barry read it aright. Tom Haveril was simply making sure that the Judge would keep ouf of it; if the Judge nodded ever so slightly;, 12 his guarded eyes said, "Yes," Tam Haveril was hair-trig- ger set to start shooting. He could not have failed to kill Barry, nor could Barry possibly have fired back, Barry, fascinated, watched the door open; he saw the barrel of a shotgun thrust into the lamp- light; he saw old Timberline's shrewd eyes squinting along the barrel, "I been listen' to coupla minutes," said Timber acidly, "Seems like it was about time a man with u shotgun showed up. Am I right, pardner?" Hold It, Timberl" "If you're wrong no man was aver right!" cried'.Barry. "Now, you listen to me, Tom Haveril!" Tom Haveril's lean jaws bulged from the strain he set on them. 'land his eyes glittered feverishly out of a slowly whitening face. "Any man wlio shoots is sure to kill Lucy,", he said quickly. "Hell, no," said Timberline, and the boards creaked again as he came a step nearer. "I c'n shove the muzzle close up to the back o' your head,snugglin' it up, swy, under your left ear—" "Call him off Sundown!" yelled Tom Haveril. "Quick, or 1 start shooting ---and I'll get yon if I die the next minute!"

THE CENTREPIECE Lay the places neatly, remem- bering the rule that the knives anu forks to be used first are placed on the outside. It is usual now to place the dessert spoon and fork level with the meat knife and fork, but with a dinner of four courses, it is more conveni- ent to place dessertspoon and fork across the top, the spoon with the handle to the right ••- the fork below with the handle to the left. Glasses are placed just at the top of the cutlery on the right- hand side -- arranging them so that the first used are nearest the edge of the table. A K a By SADIE S. CHAMBERS "YOUR CHRISTMAS CAKE" Last week in the discussion on overseas parcels and what to send I gave you a recipe for a fruit cake, whieh is a splendid recipe to use for those at home too, if you wish a rich cake, In contemplating your cake preparations, you must first de. cide whether you wish it to be a cake whieh can be kept for an. indefinite period. If so it must have plenty of butter to insure moistness. The fruit also must be the best type, for the saltie pur- pose. A little brandy added, if you wish, will prevent any moulding. Many use applesauce or cooked dried apples, which does give a cake a very splendid flavor and is economical, but it is apt to mold and will not "keep" long. I find a little corn syrup added also assist's in leaving your cake moist, especially the light fruit cake type. If you have had difficulty in this type of cake CROCHETED OVEN MITT AND SHOPPING KIT /Q/ /, 4p, 6'/►40, 4,444 4*44;#' P4**/'1,2/4, Otip‘/4t.,4"///zgyi414,44,0.4/,4p, rek47/444"40ps ii pt,, i ,404/7,1„,e -l/14/4./ / 4.,4",*44:‘,,P)14./:iy,A,/ i/ 41'4 Irkfi/ "t, //,;44t,'? 4; A ,• 04,0 , ��� .. 4V, ' These, items are the last word in household utilities.

But Lucy had spun abcut and her arms were around Toni Haveril, and her two hands were lifted to protect the back of his head. So what Barry said was: "Hold it, Timber! These IAN) want a word or two together. Let them have it, out hi the kitchen! Kill the first one that bats an eye. And I'll have two words here with Lucy!" Tom Haveril freed himself front Lucy's arms, called, "tome ahead, Judge." dropped his guns to the ;Floor and moved into the kitchen. Timberline hacked oft slowly, al- ways keeping him covered. A moment later she and Barry were alone, and Timberline was guarding Ms two prisoners in the kitchen. She stood with her hands down at her sides, her face lifted defiantly, her eyes blazing into 'Barry's. "It you've got anything to say to me," she said hptly, "please say it —and go!" "Lucy." he pleaded earnestly. "1've come here just to save yon. can't you. see?" She scarcely flicked her eyee .scornfully at him; there was noth- ing but contempt in her bits er sin! le. "You've got to believe what I'm going to tell you!" he blurted Out, his own temper uncertain. "I'11 never believe a single word you ever say!

(To Be Continued) Hats for Midseason Wear Are Brighter The dose of Inidseason millin- ery tonic is pretty apt to be taken in strong colors. Wools in bright monotones and crepes in bazaar - toned prints. We've seen a wrap- ped wcollen with a long tassel hanging from the top down the right side nearly to the shoulder. The latest wrinkle is to wind and twist the crepe scarf about a round, high fezlike crown, Per- sian fashion. Closely -shaped little hats, with flowers of self -material poised like birds at the front, are at- tractive to wear with furs, They come in many different designs and in plenty of .high shades. Some are combined with velvet, others are of a felt that has a suede finish. A baby's brain grows more in the first year than in all its re- maining life.
