The Judge turns out to be a friend of Laredo's and a had actor, Barry escapes, however, and meets and old man named Timberline, who also is gun- ning fcr the Laredo Kid, After sev- eral eweral years of searching, Bar& re• turns to Judge Blue's house, where he meets a man called Torn Hav- eril whom he accuses of being his cousin, Jesse, In disguise. Barry becomes convinced of this later and they have a gun battle, both get- ting hurt. Recovered, Barry dis- covers Tom Haveril has married Lucy whom he loves. He also finds evidence to show that Laredo has something on Judge Blue and the Judge has to do what Laredo tells him. But with Barry and Timber- line, the Judge goes to the cabin where Tom and Lucy are. Tim- berline takes the Judge and Lar- edo to the kitchen while Barry tries to tell Lucy that her new hus- band is no good. CHAPTER XIX "Timber!" he called sharply. "Here I be, Barry. Want me to kill the two buzzards after all?" "Herd them out on the back porch! Then get on your horse; 1 guess it's there handy, isn't it?" "Neves handier," said Tinther- linr. "I'nt not, going to talk all night to this girl. And when you and 1 go—well, we'll go fast.." "Suits me," said Timberline, and then barked out to the Juclge and Toni 'tavern: "Y0h. heard it? Ylarcit, you two. 1 reckon what Barry's got to say to the lady can best. be. said 'tater-tate." .:Lucy." said Barry, "first you've got to believe this: Tom 13avei'ii is the Laredo Kid." She scoffed at hien. Then she said, brightly- beautiful, 1,s she, so much smaller than he. gave the im- pression of looking flown on him from some lofty height, "Tom toll me all that he knows about you as we drove here tonight." "He's tried to make you think Hutt I'm Laredo?" 1! , heard the three men out on the back porch; he heard door close. ,\ nomeut later Timberline called out, "Ready to ride when you are, Sundown." "Ride, Pardner!" At that Barry suddenly caught Lucy up in his arms and ran with her. She tried to scream; he clamp- ed his big hand tight over her mouth, ,She bit him but he !rept lir still, He threw ]ler up into the Judge's saddle, held her with on hand while he managed his own horse and ,mounted, then roared out to Timberline: "Rifle, parclner! Sock your sinus its and ride," Be started his own horst* and the Judge's off at a run, heading back toward the motlttt 14 ins. It was a mad thing to do, but mad ventures have a way of being Won, After them, not knowing what it was all about, yelling like 0 Comanche, came old Timberline. "I love you, t.nd you'd better know it," said Barry. "T am Tont I3averil's wife," she reminded him. That was a good half hour after they had raced away from Tont I3averil's ranch house. "Hi, Timber!" he yelled. ' Shove t,long back to camp,, Tell Nen March to have anyhow a dozen meu on our payroll to take care of the Judge and Laredo if they Couie out that way looping for us." "What about you?" yipped Tim - be -line. "Don't t know. Oh. I'm all right. and I'm taking good rare of T,t:ry hero." Barry stopped to blow the hard - ridden horsey; he had also a brought to Lucy whom he had put through a. difficult thirty ,minutes. "1'm not afraid of you!" sant Barry gently. "Of course. there's no reason why yon should be afraid of me, but 1 thought you might be: anyhow. I'm gl' d." That made her defiance seem It IVO foXIIWtO small, u.uneeessary thing, and so it angered her. "Let nie go!" she cried furious- ly, "1 say, let me go; do yen hear Die? I am going back to 'ram --- to my husband," "He's net your husband, Lucy. You know that. A preacher ;Inst cane and said a mouthful of words. Nothing could make you and him men anti wife, And if he was your husband, you wouldn't have 111111 long. I'm going to kill him," "Murderer! Coward and untie "No, it wouldn't be murder," said ilu1'yr' calmly. "Not even if I canter up on him from behind and ]tilled him before he knew it. It would be what they call execution, Lucy girl.'' She rode along with him again, making, no attempt to escape, "Remember that night more than three years ago, clown in 'rylcrs- vine?" said Barry. "Well?" slid Lucy. "You saw what happened," con - tinned Barry. "You saw the Judge hammer me over the head. You didn't see the man in the barn, but you heard the Judge call him Lar- edo. That mast was Jesse Conroy, my Cousin Jesse; and he. is Lar- edo and he is Tom Haveril." "I don't believe it!" "You understood that tite .Judge took a hand when he did, putting me- out to keep rue from the chance of being killed if Laredo and I fought it out as we were bound to. And you knew why he cut in, to save my life long enough t0 find out Where I'd got a fistful of gold." He gave hea her chance to speak but site ht.d nothing to say. "You know him that day for a liar, for a robber, for a man to run Eight Girls, Agriculturists Are Enrolled et the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph —Largest Feminine Number Ever Largest number of girl stn- deals to 0211011 in the agricul- tural course at the Ontario Agri- cultural College is included in this year's class of new students at the Guelph college, War condi- tions may be the reason for the large influx of girls into the course which was previously con- sidered wholly for boys, but girl students have been included in. the clarsea, in small numbers, during the past several years. This year there are eight girls enrolled in the course, and they include one British girl, who carne to Canada recently.

Pilots Detect Lights In Practice Blackout Montreal — The Town of Mount Royal, -adjacent to Mon- treal, which has a highly organiz- ed and efficient Civilian Protec- tion Committee, held a practice blackout the other night. Every light in the eormnunity was quenched, except three which, un- noticed at ground level, were spotted by pilots of Trans -Can- ada Air Lincs plans passing over. They reported the chinks in Mount Royal's errtlor of. dark- ness. . ea- Canucks Like English Girls But Marriage% Oversee* Are Scarce Among the Soldiers Casual observation of Canadian soldier's on leave in London, Eng- land, reveals the boys from the great open spaces have little trouble in getting their share of at- tention from England's girls, says a British United Press despatch, Apparently 330 khaki shoulder with the neat "Canada" tab need suffer frons the laelt of a blonde head to rest on it, but the records seem to indicate that nothing very permanent comes of it. There was some discussion a while ago as to the rapidity with which a portion of the C. A. S. F. was being led down the aisle by the Mother Country's daughters. It now appears, however, that the marriage rate for Canadian troops is far from reaching epidemic pro- portions. CAN'T FORGET GIRLS AT ILOME The military statistics branch maintains no special department for matrimonial records. Members of the C.A.S.F. who wish to marry, however, must first receive permis- sion, and the general impression around headquarters is that the number of applications has been a good deal less than excessive. "There have been only two mar- riages in my unit in the year we've been here," a major of the First Division told me. "But that doesn't mean the boys don't get around." "DON'T WAIT TO EAT" "As a matter of fact," he admit- ted, "when we arrive at a town, they seem to have all the girls rounded up in no time. They don't even wait to eat." Many were already married when they cause overseas, and a few have brought their wives over to be with them. As for the troops, bored with tedium, a little flattering feminine attention is far from unwelcome. "Sure," one husky youngster stun- med it up, "English girls are okay. But after all, you can't beat the girls back home." Domestic Fabrics Replacing French British Substitutes A 1 s o Found For Continental Ac- cessories And Trimmings Such commonplace things as nail heads and miniature "rivets" will be part of the well-dressed Canad- ian women's costume during the winter, and according to the dress trade, the war is responsible. It looks as though the stock of beads and cut stones heretofore used extensively for dress decora- tion may not hold out. Until 1918 most of the heads and colored stones came from Czecho-Slovakia. Natlheads and rivets in silver', gilt and black make good substitutes. A new kind of sequin which looks like a bit of black mother-of-pearl is catching' on while wooden and leather substitutes as well as glass and celluloid novelties are taking the place of the European acces- sories. WARTIME MATERIALS ALS Another result of the war is al- most exclusive use of Canadian. British and American woollen ma- terials in daytime gowns, suite and coats. The Canadian Press found. Previously, French mills supplied much of this material for the bet- ter afternoon dresses in delicate pastel shades and fautasy weaves. Tweeds and leathers as English as a crap of tea have caught the approving eye of both Canada's and United States' biggest buyers, Again, the metal nail heads ere worked in patterns on belts, gloves and bags. Craft of Knitting No one knows who invented the craft • of knitting, though Britain, France, Spain, and Italy each claim the honour. But knit- ting was known long before these countries became civilized, and is mentioned in the Bible. The fishing nets of the Pharaoh: were manufactured on this prin- ciple, and in the account of the Crucifixion we are told that Our Lord wore a garment "without seem, woven from the top throughout." We know, too, that the Anglo-Saxons knitted, for our word "knit" has an Anglo- Saxon origin, being derived from "enythau," meaning threads wov- on together by hand. The Scots claim to be the first knitters in Europe, and offer as proof the fact that the French knitting guilds adopted as their patron saint St Fiacre, a native of Scot- land. tray - Night - C'ori•eviaondenre Write today tat Catalogue of Courses Head Offtee, 1100 itay Street Toronto - t'itane 10. 3't0t5 3 Publih'd by the Canada Starch Hume Ser- viee Dept., beaded by Mrs Ai+ken. famous Cooking Authority, is a valuable Booklet entitled "52 De•.certs".
