Barry es• capes, 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 BIue's house, where he meets a man call- ed Tom Haverii whom he accuses of being his cousin, Jesse, in dis- guise. Barry becomes convinced of this tater and they have a gun battle, both getting hurt. Recover- ed, Barry discovers Tom Haveril has married Lucy whom he loves.

She. was ail eagerness at his.elbow as be opened the box. ..Why!" she gasped, seeing the hundreds ot pictures. "They are all MI mei I know them; papa—the Judge—used to take one of me every Sunday almost!" "Ever strike you as thiug to -do?" he asked. "No. Well, it does seem sort of queer, but you see I've always been Used to it." An Old Newspaper ":They're all dated on the backs." said Barry. The last picture doesn't ::look much like the first. does it? But when you take them straight through, you can see it's the same you, can't you?" "01 course," said Lucy, and look- ed at him with a puzzled frown. "But I don't understand—" "Here's something else: it was in the box when I got it; I gess it's been there always, for a dozen years. It's an old newspaper. The Laredo Blade." Ile openedseit for her carefully; from years of being folded it split along the creases. It wos a email. two sheet affair; banner headlines across the first page had to do with a crime the enormity of which had horrified the community not unused to violence. Briefly, this was the gist of the newspaper article: Coolnel Dave Hamilton, his wile and three other members of his household bad been soot to death. The Colonel, a newcomer to Lare- do, but already immensely pope- . lar, had arrived with his family from Virginia, intending to buy a vast holding hereabouts and make this his home. He had brought with him a large sum of money in cash. There was not the slightest clue to the identity of the murclerer, lie lied made a clean sweep, yith none left alive to accuse him. "But—" began Lucy, more nue- Mod than ever. Her eyes, busied with the stream- ing headlines and big bold type at the top of the page bad-m1ssed what Barry now pointed out. There were pictures' of Colonel and Mee. :Hamilton, as of other members of his household, the Colonel's aunt and two servants. Proof of Identity Tiers was another plotters, It was of a little girl five or six years old, the Colonel's daughteae At first it was thought that she too had been anurtlered. But her tiny body was never found. "Yes," said Barry. "Doesn't look much like you now, does it? But it's the same little girl that you were in these first pictures the Judge took. Going straight through the pack—well, you've got pretty good proof, proof enough for any jn on y-oi'ie t.Lucyyou're -lanlilton Anybody, Y and not Luey Blue! "The little girl—you, of course --must have been carried off by the snap or men who killed her parents." "But Why?" demanded Lucy. "She was the Colonel's heiress; it was supposed that she would in- herit when she was eighteen. It would seem that she was a very valuable piece ot property!" "You mean that my—that judge Blue—„ a funny "You're surely the girl in that paper. And you told me that night at Tyleeeville what you overheard at the stable, the Judge and Laredo talking -e" "And Laredo said he would mar- ry me, but that he'd wait a• few years, until I was eighteen or nine- teen, I forget which—" IiIl% W ��4"` e 4110eWATI SAVI S STAMPS "And the judge had this box, paper and pictures together. Then he lost it. That's where Laredo cut in pn the deal, somehow stealing it from him. And the Judge was afraid of Laredo because ot what he knew and could ,move!!" "It's horrible!" She put her face in her hands, shuddering. "Then." Barry went on, puzzled his turn, "with Laredo fading - out, while I'm hunting him from here to California and Hack again, Tom Haveril rides into the play'. Next thing, Tom Haveril has this little box—and Tom Haveril mar- ries you!" "I am afraid!" "Yes," said Barry sternly, "Jest now I was ready to take you back to Tom Haveril, blowing that I'd made a mistake about him being Laredo. But how ded it come that he had this box and the things In it? And just how are he and the Judge so thick? Am I going to take you beck into that sort of mess?" She looked at him strangely. afraid 0f him too, Yet probing wist- fully. hoping a little—no, not rea•liy afraid. Dentist Adviaes Parents To Find Formula. For Correction Parents. would do more for rheic' thumb -sucking offspring by seeking a psychological substi- tute for the habit. That. is the be- lief of Dr. George W. Teuscher, assistant professor of child den- tistry at Northwestern Univer- sity. In studying 1'73 children with the habit, he found that all but !three suffered froitt deformi- ties of tbe lips, jaws and teeth, he reports in the Journal of the Dental Association. PREVENT JAW DEFORMITIES The easiest solution for par- ents is to prevent formation of the habit, but where thumb tucking mmechanicalalready being tiled, on Tivanees sometimes are effective in cheek - it. Dr. Teuscher would prefer, however, that parents study the individual child to determine the best "psychological formula" for correction, even ,though this ap- proach frequently involves parent. education in child development. Teach. children healthier habits, Dr. Teuscher says, and mouth deformities eventually -will be eliminated. ISSUEAIL s -mo "Was I Lying Then?" "Barry!

But there .are an awful lot of us who don't. Let's consider the various Pre- valent bat -styles of today, and weigh up their advantages and disadvantages. HALOS AND FLOWERS The Halo should never be worn by those who suffer train a large close, a bulging or receding fore- - head, leek of chin or a fat face. The halo lays brutal emphasis on all such face -faults. It's a real god- send to the girl with too small a face. The Flower Hat looks just plain silly if perched on top of a large, fleshy face. Don't fall for a flower hat unless you've Vie the right clothes with which to wear it. PILL -BOX ANI) TURBAN The Pill -Box, Relic of Edward- ian days. It's excellent for people with narrow or receding foreheads for the simple reason that it covers them up. Provided its circumfer- ence is not too small and it is worn well tilted forward it can also coun- teract the line of a large nose. Don't wear it if you have a square face. . The Turban eau look lovely on the regular -featured but tends to lay stress on receding chins and on oven -large noses. Should he av- oided like the plague by the long - faced (as should all higll-croeded hats). BRIMMED HATS The Sailor. Probably the most universally becoming hat of this day and age. It's smart; it's prac- tical. It successfully comouflages a large nose. Its cute little brim throws a glamorous shadow across a pair of sparkling eyes. It's trine and it's neat and it goes with al- most all kinds of clothes. The Picture Hat. Very becoming to all types of face except the very small. A boon to the elderly. The Breton looks its best on the regular -featured and ou those with determined noses. Should be avoid- ede by the receding chinned. The Spots Felt is a safe bet with all suits, tailored dresses and country clothes. Can look extreme- ly smart — or thoroughly dowdy; depending upon the augle at which you wear it.

E, Wood, chief cost account- aut of the Department of Muni- tions and Supply, says a story in the Toronto Globe nud Mail. He spoke to the Toronto Chapter of the Canadian Society of Cost Ac- countants and Industrial Engineers at the Canadian Military Institute. "It, cost about 75 cents to kill a man in Caesar's time," ire said, "The cost rose to about $3,000 per man during the Napoleonic wars; to $5,000 in the American Civil War; then to $21,000 per man in the War of 1914-18. And in the last 'twenty years it has at least doub- led, perhaps tripled." Queen's Finds Rare Manuscript Papers Reporting B r it i s h Commons Proceedings In 1628 Located A rare manuscript reporting Parliamentary proceedings in a vital period of English history has been discovered by E. C. Kyte, li- brarian at Queen's University. The manuscript, believed to be an exaet copy of one belonging to the Earl of Verulata, which is used by historians as t u insight into conditions in England in 1628, before the days of ilansard, be- longs to E. M. Sabiston, of Perth, Ont. MENTION OF CROMWELL The manuscript begius "a true relation of all the proceedings in Parliament in the last session, be- ginning the 20th of January, 1628. untilthe dissolution thereof." In the middle of the manuscript is a mention of Oliver Cromwell. in connection with a charge that a Dr. Alabaster had "preached flat Popery;' It was the first Parlia- mentary mention of Cromwell, who was to become the greatest figure in England within the nest 21) years. Turbulence of events leading up to the outbreak of civil war are described in the document. At the end is recorded the motion of ad- journment of Sir Denzill Hollis. It was 11 years later before Par- liament assembled. Compared with ants, mankind is very "young." Scientists estim- ate our age at only 100,000 years, while ants are 50.000,000 years old.
