cousin of his, Jesse Conroy, known
as the Laredo Kid, who murdered
his brother Robert. Barry is be-
friended by Judge Blue and his
daughter, Lucy. 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
Barry unconscious. Barry escapes,
however, and meets an old man
named Timberline, who also is
gunning for the Laredo Kid, After
several years of searching Barry
returns to Judge Blue's house
where he meets a man called Toni
Haveril whom he accuses of being
his cousin Jesse in disguise. Barry
tells the strangers in town that his
sister Lucy, who worked at a lunch
counter in town, can identify him.
They search for her but she's miss-
ing. Barry, and a new friend of
his, Ken March, go looking for her
and find her in a cabin with Sar-
boe and two other Hien. Tom Hav-
eril, the Judge and others then
come, after Ken has been shot,
and hang the men in the cabin.
When they leave Barry stays on
and finds Sarboe isn't dead but
has lost his ability to talk. Tom
Haveril returns and Barry and he
shoot at each other hut neither
is killed. Recovered, Barry meets
his sister and Ken March, who
tell him that Lucy Blue is about
to marry Tom Haveril. Barry rush-
es to the Blue home to try to stop
the marriage.
CHAPTER XVIII
Tom just laughed, but he re-
mained as watchful as a tiger about
to pound.
"You two come at me In double
harness," he said. "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. Barry got those things—
but he didn't get the ace I have in
the hole. You bet I've still got it,

_And if • you had the bad luck to
burn me down tonight — well, it
would be be just too bad for Judge
Parker Blue, formerly of Laredo!
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!"
Barry was tempted then to shout
to his old friend, "Blow lits damn'

If your table is round and well

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.

"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

head oft, :Timber!" 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! If you're waiting for
that time to come --Oh, why don't
you go!"
Guns Out the Window
Jit the Next mono he could hear
the Judge and Tum Haveril speak-
ing hurriedly; he could not see
theme but saw Timberline, his shot-
gun gripped with hard, competent
hands. He thought: "If 1 could just
:make her listen to tole! If 1 could
-tell her the Whole thang—"

which the judge and Tom 'Haveril
had 'shed" et Timberline's stat-

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.
