RUBEL of the Rocking Arrow John Teclgar, 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 Glassell, 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 corn- ing to collect on a bill. Later, when Roy has paid the bill and gone back to work, a masked man creeps Into die house, reopens the safe, slips a package of money into his pocket, and slinks away. CHAPTER VII. Roy had gone only a short dis- tance when he turned in his saddle and looked back. Mescal was still on his knees, his swarthy face dejected, his hands held outward in mute ap- peal. It was too much for Roy. Mutter- ing, he wheeled his horse and rode back. His feet hit the ground. "Danged if I know why I stay," he growled, "but I'm a goin' to." "Gracias, senor! Gracias!" The Mexican's eyes lit up. "You weel camp here. Mescal weel breeng you the news. That Picos, he ees a bad hombre!" "All right." Roy squatted on his heels. "Now suppose you jest tell me exactly what you heard." Mescal recounted the conversation be had overheard. When he had fin - frowned darkly.

I'm plumb anxious to get cards in this hand, knowin' that side- winder." When the Mexican had left, Roy sat there and wondered what had brought him back. Sarah Rittle meant nothing to him, he tried to tell himself. Sure, she was in tronble, STARTS MCA IN SECONDS THE REASON"ASPIRIN" WORKS SO FAST Drop an "Aspirin" •tab- let into a tumbler of water. By the time it hits the bottom of the glass it is disintegrating. This speed of dis- integration enables "Aspirin" tablets to start "taking hold" of headache and similar pain a few minutes after taking. .All people who suffer occasionally from headaches ought to know this way to quick relief. At thefirst sign of such pain, take two "Aspirin" tablets with a balf glass of water. Sometimes if the pain is unusually severe, one more tablet is necessary later, according to directions.

Run the 'cold' tap a few seconds before filling your kettle (never use stale water or water from the 'hot' tap). See that the water is boiling furiously and not just steaming. Scald out a crockery tea-pot, measure into it a teaspoonful of good quality tea for each person and one for the pot, add the boiling water and steep for five minutes before serving, Nothing else soothes our the bodies or gives us the same comfort and pleasure that -we get from a good cup of tea. Surely it is worth our while to make it carefully. - In the fall plaids, red is the favored colour, as in a red and navy pattern, worn with navy Scotch cap and suede shoes, Green and blue are also popu- lar •colours.

He came awake suddenly, conscious of strange sounds to the north and west of him. He reached for his gun and sat up, listening in- tently. Faintly, he heard the muted bellow of cattle and the thud of hoofs. He unfastened the paint's hobbles and saddled. In a few moments, the horse was being guided down the deeper blackness of the canyons. The range was not entirely familiar to Roy and he did not wish to be heard. Finally, he reached a narrow edge. The tramp of hoofs was much louder now. Cattle were moving in the draw below him, urged on by the curses and quirts of men. He slipped from his horse and edged down silently through the brush. Once he thoug'ht he dis- tinguished Gimp's guttural voice, but he couldn't be sure. The cattle were nearer now, their white faces like blobs of grayness in the daykness. Someone was rustling the Rocking Arrow cattle. Of that he -was cer- tain. He smiled grimly and slipped his six-gun from its holster. The crash of it echoed up the draw as he thumbed the hammer. —.2-1-th.;--gan—flasheil. he dove head- long and, crouching, changed his position. A yelled curse followed the boom of his gun. Farther up the draw, a gun laced the night with its orange streak. Roy shouted, his voice echoing up the canyon. "Hightail it, you sneakin' coyotes!" Swiftly, he again changed his posi- tion. From behind a rock closer to where the gun had flashed, he sent another slug winging towards the man who had fired. Someone yelled a hoarse command. Roy heard the thud of hoofs and the rustle of the brush as bodies went hurtling through it. He chuckled, rejecting the empty shells from his gun, and reloading. "I reckon I gave those hombres a scare," he mused softly. "There most likely won't be any more rustl- in' tonight." Within an hour, he was again fast asleep in his lean-to. * Approach frointhe Rear As the morning sun tinted the range with mauve and saffron, Roy was astir, He had decided to leave his hiding place on top of the hog- back. His warbag with his razor and personal effects were still in the bunk house at the Rocking Arrow. He wanted them. While he was finishing his after - breakfast smoke, he saw Pieos, Gimp and Mescal ride toward the range. Even from a distance it was easy to see that Picos was in a black mood. He shook his fist at the Mexican. Roy saw nothing of Sarah. It was Sunday, and she was no doubt taking her ease on the veranda.

When the foreman and his men had had plenty of head start, Roy saddled his horse and, dropping dciwn through the brakes and gullies, ap- proached the ranch buildings from the rear. He told himself he did not want to see Sarah. Actually, , he found himself watching the house anxiously for some sign of her. Unobserved, he reached the barn. He tied the paint inside and peered cautiously out into the yard. By little short runs, he reached the bunk house, and slipped inside. His warbag was just as he had left it, except that someone had. in- vestigated its contents. He tossed it over his shoulder and darted back to shelter of the barn. He lashed the bag to the cantle of his saddle and was about to mount when the tattoo of hoofs announced the return of some member of the ranch. Fateful Reply Then, his heart skipped a beat as Sarah came from the rear door of the house and approached the fore-. man. She spoke loud enough for Roy to hear distinctly. "What's the matter, Pins? I sup - you came back to tell me that all my cattle have beenrustled?" A grin twisted the foreman's lips. "Shucks ncw, Sarah! No, there ain't a sine critter missin'. I told yuh that Vie and Gimp heard 'em last night and drove 'em off. Yuh better change yore mind about firin, me. Yuh won't find two sich hands as good as us in a dog's age." She seemed to hesitate.

Yo're too pretty to be worryin' yore head over cattle." Roy glued his eye to the keyhole, and listened intently. He was afraid he might not hear Sarah's reply, and he wanted to. Somehow, it meant a lot to him. (To be Continued.) • , ,4Att.WA' You too will be satisfied with HAIVICO, the Coke which de- livers the maximum of clean steady heat at roinimurn cost.
