He assumes the name of r,oy Dillon and gets a job on the SRocking Arrow range, owned by Sarah Pittie. Tho foreman, (-'loos Glasseli, snows an i:?ctant animosity toward Roy. There h.aa been rustling and other tro:lule on the. ranch, and Sarah is worried. Then, ono clay, 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 VI Roy raced fc:r the corral. He saw Mescal dart from the barn, and came running toward him. "The seller ccs not the wan. I know. I weal got blankets and feed!” Roy grinned. "Thanks, Mescal."

I melon n I'm entitled to that for my week's work." He vanished over the rifle at. a steady lope. Finally, lie reached the top of a narrow hogback, with till Rocking Arrow spreading like a panorama be- neath him. He dismounted and let his horse graze. IIe pulled the nickings from his pocket, rolled a cigarette and lit it. Eyea on the ranch house, he real- ized that he was now a fugitive. If he had submitted to arrest, and al- lowed himself to be brought to trial, the chances were good that he would have been acquitted. Now, having run away— A Ride Towards Town He saw Picos come from the house, followed by Gimp. The two saddled their mounts and rode in the direction of town. Roy suddenly decided to follow. He cached his sack of supplies in a tree, mounted, and trailed along the hog- back. If they were after a posse, as he suspected, the safest place for him would be the spot where the posse was formed. He came into town by a roar alley, tied his horse beneath a rickety old shed on the outskirts, and went on afoot. He located the Rocking Arrow mounts in front of the hitching rail of :: .. ;.,• her 0.1 t°r ftp° ot 1.0 fY a ati ty2eo4e Qtsvo°1° OLttai}�n OH tnpg tCs ME INVIGORATING DRINK OF REAL BEEF FLAVOUR 301 y vi ES L.

"Nunsenee!" Her face crimsoned. At, that moment the drum of hoofs etrre,"rr''d the return of Picos and ;' .,ap. The foreman came into the liv- in.r roost as the Mexican slipped out, unobserved, through a rear door. Picas drawled, "I figgered me and Gimp better come back, Sarah.

"I'm makin' it my business. Me and Gimp ain't been paid fer three months. We're wantin' our wages. Long as yuh had the money in the safe, we wasn't worry - in' none, but now it's a different story. Yuh better raise the money pronto, or we'll have the law on yuh!" Marry or Nothing It was like a slap in the face. Sarah flushed. "How dare you talk to me like that? Get out and stay out! -I'll make arrangements with the bank to pay you your wages." Picos laughed mockingly, "Yuh couldn't borrow a dollar at the bank." Tie leaned over the desk. "Yo're broke, stony broke. Yuh cain't pay that note that'.s due. The bank'll take the spread unless---" He stopped sud- denly and smirked at her. "Unless what?" She lea:seal back in her chair and watched him stonily. He grinned at her. "There are some say I ain't bad lookin'. I got a very tidy little sum tucked away. I reckon if yuh'd marry me, I'd be willin' tuh buy them yearlin's and pay off the note at the bank." Her temper flared to white heat. "You're , impertinent!" she blazed. "How dare you threaten me? I'll have your money for you Monday. Now get out! You're fired!" Outside, a figure darted across the IN PACKACES 10c POOCHES 15c fib. TINS 70c yard, leaped to the saddle, and gal. loped in the direction that Roy had taken several hours before. It was. Mescal, Roy saw him coining. Had thing happened to Sarah? A limp rose in his throat. Then, he muttered angrily. What difference did it make to hint what happened to her? He watched the Mexican spur his horse up the slope and reach. the ledge. He stood up and waited, eyes -nar- rowed to slits. Mescal reined in and dropped to the ground. Words tumbled from 'his mouth.• "The senorita, she ees broke! She weer lose the ranchero unlessshe wed with the Picos! I have heard : Boom tell her. IIe wrung 'his hands. ,"She need the money to pay off the note at the bank!" Roy growled, "Well, what of it? Why tell vie about it? I'm broke too,. It don't make any difference to me," "But senor! You love the senorita! I have seen it in your eyes." Roy laughed and shook his head. 'You're loco, Mescal. I'rn lightin' out of here pronto." Suiting his actions to his 'words, he whistled for the paint, The animal came trotting from the brush. He loaded up and swung into the saddle. "Adios, Mescal! I ain't hankerin' to spend a stretch in the pen for. some - thin' I didn't do. Sarah Kittle can. paddle her own canoe!" This was too much for the Mexi- can. He fell to his knees and begged, "Please, Senor! You can help if ,you weel!" "Nix! I've had enough of this spread" Angry at himself, angry at the• Mexican, Roy spurred his horse. • (TO BE CONTINTJED) 735,500 ' arrels QOs::a io Apples Production Up in Western, Down in Eastern Ontario..

Speaking before the annual con- vention' of the Arkansas Stutters' Associaton, Dr, Millsen explained that in normal people one side of the brain .controls the body, but that When a person stutters both sides are struggling for control. One-sided brain control, he said, accounts for Dorset's being right-handed or left- hancicd, "When a stutterer stumbles," Dr. ltfillscn said, "he really is two per- sons, because both sides of his brain arc atterinting to control his organs of sncc'h:' The s;reau,h •spec'alist said. that it had never been definitely established in ary individual case that forcing a left-handed child to become right- handed caused the child to stutter. IIe ed, however, that statistics showed that 10 per cent of the per- sons so r•'._angcd became stutterers. Dr. lllillsen said that the most successful method of curing a tend- ency to stutter was "simply to accept the situation." Save "Teddy -Bear �lg o .,ll Extinction Move is Being Made to Conserve the.

It is pointed out that the koala, Australia's greatest advertising asset and tour'st attraction, is being wiped out by disease, and an appeal is be- ing made for a fund of $50,000 to save the animal. There has been a suggestion that particularly for peas, apples and plums, although peas exported to Britain have brought satisfactory re- turns. Prices for basket grapes have been unusually variable and following frost damage, grapes in bulk tumbled from $45 a ton to as low as $20. Home orner By ELEANOR DALE CHOCOLATE TO OFFSET WINTER ILLS To the farthest north and highest mountains, chocolate is transported and it was used extensively -in Eur- ope when the armies struggled through mud and cold during the Great War. That is because it brings heat and energy quickly to the body. Such food value ought not to be omitted from the diet on these chill days when all those winter ailments are epidemic in many communities.. Chocolate is not, of course, confined to candy and cakes. It makes into very attractive and easily digestible desserts. These satisfy the sweet tooth and give high nutritive value' to any menu. BAKED CHOCOLATE CUSTARD is always good and is particularly fine for those just recovering from the varieties of 'flu from which Cana diens suffer. 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, cut in pieces 1 quart .cold milk 4 eggs, slightly beaten i/t •cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Add chocolate to milk in double boiler and heat. When chocolate Is melted, beat with rotary egg beater until blended. Combine eggs, sugar. and salt. Add chocolate mixture gradually, stirring until sugar is dis- solved. Add vanilla.

One of the most delicious uses of chocolate is in hot drinks which chil- dren love. As long as adults have tea and coffee they are usually satisfied but the children can't have those drinks and so need a steaming hot beverage. Chocolate is ideal for this purpose.

Use Rotation Resorts In saving the koala the Club mem- bers will have to combat 'the paralysis and pneumonia which, with bush fires, take the hr t:viest toll of the animal. One of the first tasks will be the establishment of "rota- tion areas", something like holiday resorts for koalas. In his natural state the koalas seek those changes for themselves, but they cannot do so now that wide clearings separate their tree -top feeding grounds and dogs and foxes lie in wait for them. To continue to flourish the koalas must be given changes, and the Koala Club plans to transfer them from area to area by motor trucks. Kung's Christmas Talk Undecided A Buckingham Palace spokesman declared this week that the question of a Christmas broadcast by the King "has not been settled yet." British Broadcasting Corporation officials said the King would be ask- ed to broadcast to the Empire, but that no invitation had gone out as yet. His Majesty last year did not con- tinue his father's practice in addres- sing his subjects at Christmas time. He had then been on the Throne for but a fortnight and had gone through the trying days of the ab- dication crisis. On Coronation night, however, he made a world-wide broadcast. 5 -Year -Old _►_ y Believed Genius Played Liszt When Twenty -Six Months Old; Compared to Masters Five-year-old Kenneth Wolf, of Cleveland, is a rising star in the mus- ic world who, at maturity, may be re- garded as a genius, believes 7.
