RUBEL of the R.cking A John Tedgar, cowboy, framed into prison for a bank robbery that he did- n't commit, finishes his term with the grim determination to find the real bandit. He assumes the name of Roy Dillon and gets a job on the Rocking Arrow range, owned by Sarah Rittle. The foreman, Picos Gtasseil, shows an Instant animosity toward Roy. There has been rustling and other trouble on the ranch, and Sarah is worried. Then, one day, she goes on an errand and leaves Roy to pay a man who Is com- ing to collect on a bill. Later, when Roy has paid the bill and gone back to work, a masked man creeps Into the house, reopens the safe, slips a package of money into his pocket, and slinks away, CHAPTER V. "Gone?" For a moment, Roy was taken aback. "Why, r paid Mr. Allen and put the rest of the money back again. It must be there." He saw Sarah's lips twitch, saw the hurt look in her eyes. She had trusted him, now believed he had be- trayed that trust. Picos broke in. "Yuh lie, yuh two- timiri coyote! Yuh stole that money —where'd yuh hide it?" Roy's teeth gritted. "That's fight talk. No can can call me a liar to my face. 1'11 make you eat those words!" Picos laughed derisively. "Yuh'll swallow 'em yourself and like it, fel- ler." He turned to Sarah. "He's guilty, ma'am. Yuh kin read it in his face." Looks Pretty Bad Sarah's eyes met Roy's. She seemed to be trying to read his in- nermost thought. e••5 WcsPphO red of »1 a�tsi ' oat) CuP uses tp V at a rvaYe.asst D gCe °� segs is otb Lb aid• q• hd"- 0.05 '8t 'ossa• 1g lAtektnconto be ,ere elC as , r t sass REINVIGORATING DRINK OF REAL BEEF FLAVOUR DRESS- MAKTNG THOUSANDS of the best dressed women today axe designing and making their own clothes.

I can't undertsand you. You must have known you'd be caught if you stayed here. Why did you do it?" He answered, a trifle sarcastically, "I was at least expeetin' to get an even break from you, Miss Sarah. This polecat's tryin' to hang it on me. He ain't never liked me and I never liked him." Then, his voice took on a note of appeal. "I reckon it does look pretty bad. But I'll swear I didn't take the money. I counted out enough for Mr. Allen and put the rest back. He saw me do it." He shrugged helplessly. "If I'd stolen it, I shore wouldn't be loco enough to stick around here on the spread." Picos snarled. "What's the use of all this arguin,' ma'am? Nobody could git into that safe 'less they knew the combination. Leastways, nobody but a regular safe-cracker." He laughed ominously. "Maybe that's what he is. He was jest plain loco tuh stay here, but I know why he didn't leave. He's sweet on you!" A faint crimson dyed the girl's cheeks. She said. "That's enough of that, Picos. I'l1 handle this my- self. You wait outside until I call you. I want to talk to Roy sone." Picos retired, growling, but Rcy knew that he was waiting just out- side the door. And he knew that he was in a tough spot for the second time in his life. Unless he could prove his innocence to this girl, it would mean another prison sentence. Sarah said, gently. "I'm going to give you another chance, Roy. I think you realize what this means to me. That money was to have been used to meet my note at the bank and to purchase those yearlings from the Crossed H. I've got to .have it this afternoon. It you'll return it, we'll—forget the matter. You'll have another chance to go straight." His eyes hardened. To go straight? What did she mean? Did she know who he was? That was impossible. No one in this part of the country knew him. Knows Something "Then you're plumb sure that I took it, eh?" he said. "Why, couldn't Picos or Gimp have ridden in here after I paid Allen? Ie wouldn't take an expert to crack that safe. I could have opened it myself without knowing the combination." "Then you admit you're a safe- cracker?" He flushed angrily. "I ain't ad- mitted anything. I said I didn't take the money . I reckon my word's as good as Picos'? I wouldn't trust that hombre as far as I could throw a hawse." She shook her head. "Picos was on the range all. afternoon. Gimp will swear to that." Her eyes were bleak. "Please don't force me to send for the sheriff; Give me back the money. I know there's good in you. You were just down on your luck. Give it to me and we'll for- get all about it'' The faintest of smiles crinkled the corners of his eyes. "Havin' done nothin', ma'am, yore generosity is plumb •overpowerini'." He bowed ironically. "You say Picos was ridin' the range, It ain't so far but what he could have come back here and taken that money. I got good reason to believe he did." "What do you mean? Do you know something about Picos that I don't know?" "Maybe and maybe not.

Dept. 2 101 Yong.; St., Toronto Dies In Attempt To Prolong Life A 00 -year -ole} man of Garh, a vil- lage of India, wanted to prolong his life. So he went to the priests, who told him he would have to go through a purification -ceremony, This con- sisted of a bath in "holy", water, the bath lasting a whole day. The n)an agreed to undergo the ceremony, which cost him $200. The same night he caught a chill, contracted pneumonia, and was dead within a week. At the court case which followed the priests were each sentenced to six months' imprison- ment after refusing to pay a,; fine '. equal to the fee charged. "Spy" on Russian Stage Carries Away Spectator A member of the audience was so carried away by an espionage play in the Gorky House of Culture, Len- ingrad, Russia, that he shouted defi- ance from his seat to the actor in the role of a spy. The scene was the office of an offi- cial who was questioning a foreign spy before trial. "We have thousands of secret spies," the prisoner said. That was the cue for a sharp voice in the audience to shout: "We have millions of open spies and you can't escape us anywhere." What would you do if you had these things in your pantry—a cup of stewed greengage plums; ?/6 cup of plain rice and % cup raisins; 3 slices of canned pineapple and a few marshmallows; and a cup of stewed prunes ? Would you eat the plums for your lonely lunch, give the marsh- mallows to little Billy and serve the prunes for breakfast? Of course you could do that, but there is something else you could do .and that is to take those odds and ends of left -overs and make them in- to four different desserts, fairly glowing with beauty and charm— enough to serve thirty-four persons. That seems hard to believe but it can be clone and all the help you need is some jelly powder. You can count on the vivid colors and flavours of jelly powder to transform the plain, inexpensive ingredients into unus- ual desserts, which, when they are served, never give a hint of 'their ,thrifty origin. Incidently, greengage plums got their name in an interesting way. They were first called `Reirle Claude' after the Queen of Francis I in the 16th century. Then a clergyman named Gage introduced them to Eng- land and they have carried his name AppliqueCrib Q iit 245 Mayfair Needle Art j Design No. 245 Animals appliqued on a crib quilt to amuse bright-eyed youngsters.

Write your name and: address 'plainly. sayin' that, for a little money, Gimm' would swear to anythin'. He might not think anythin' of it if Picos was gone for an hour," Trusted a Woman Again Sarah's eyes hardened. She stood up. He saw that her .38 was in itis holster at her hip. "Very well, Mr. Dillon." Her voice was cold, "If you refuse to ac cept my offer, then there is nothing to be gained by further conversation. Picos!" The door opened in answer to het' summons. The foreman came inJ grinning evilly. "You and Gimp are going to. town," said Sarah. "You can turn Roy over to the sheriff. Tell him I'll: be in to file charges later this after; noon." She whirled to face Roy: "Give me your gun." Roy's anger flared. Picos was bu: an arm's length from him. His left- hand suddenly clamped the foreman's gun arm to his gun butt, as his right cane upward with surprising swift. ness. Picos' eyes glazed as Roy's fist caromed off his jaw. Roy caught the man's reeling fig; ure and swung it in front of him like a shield, but, to his surprise, Sarals had made no move to draw her gun, He let .the foreman slump to the floor. "No ornery side -winder like P;cos is goin' to turn me over to the sher- iff," he grated. "I didn't take yore money. I wish I had. That way, I'd a had some'thin' to give back to you. Now you'll never ace it again,'. I'ln thankin' you for the job, such est it was, and now, I'm forkin ray bronco and lightin' out of here. Just try and stop me!" "Then you are guilty!" Sarah's voice whipped hili with scorn. Roy's eyes blazed. "I ain't even answerin'' that, Miss Sarah Rittle." Ilse backed for the door. "i« swore I'd never trust another woman as long as I lived. For a time, I thought you was different. You ain't!" He opened the door and darted out. (To be C.. ...c3,). Italy Attracts Tourist Trade Modernizes Railway System And Achieves Standard of Comfort in Hotels Nearly everywhere in Western Europe the convenieneies of travel have increased in recent years, al- though air-conditioned trains are still to come and the Wagons -Lits appar- ently has still to learn how to pro- vide hot water without providing heat as well. In Switzerland all railways are electrified, as many are in the South of France and some in Southern England. But in Italy elec- trification has been so rapidly ex- tended that one can now travel all the way to Ronne or Naples without getting into a steam train, What Visitors . Find The better hotels in Italy are often as well organized as those in• Ger- many; the conception of the 10 per cent service charge as a substitute for tips has by now permeated to most of the hotel staffs (though it took years to do so); the State grants to . foreigners staying six days or more in Italy a reduction of 50 per cent in railway fares (though not in sleeping car fares), and nearly all with whom the traveler conies in con- tact seem animated more by a desire to please than to exploit. In such cities as Turin, Milan, Florence, Rome, Venice and others one may expect in the better hotels a degree of comfort and a quality of service which are unexceptionable and seem to have undergone material , improvement. Motor buses and ordin- ary municipal buses and street cars are punctual and convenient, and taxis are comparatively cheap. But Italian railways are still very crowd- ed, and it is well to reserve seats in advance when possible, or to go to the train half an hour early if with- out reserva'.on. ever since. Here is a way to .fisc up that cup .of greengages so that they will be fit to serve your clergyman when he comes to dine with you.

The children too will love the creamy rice taste and the added tang of lemon jelly, to say nothing of the plump raisins in it. If you were to taste it without being told what it was, you'd stop and wonder a moment. It's quite different. And it's so good that it's hard to believe that it is a thrift dessert—but no one minds being thrifty when such marvellous results can be achieved.

Visions of midnight bandits crossed his mind but it was not until daylight he realized how great had been his peril. A skunk was found in his yard. Its nose was caught in a tin can.
