RUBEL e ocrFhi '/;Tow John Tedgar, cowboy, framed into prison for a : ank 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 Glasse'', 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 bili 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 VIII Sarah shook her head. "I told you that I would not marry you. That's final, Picos. Let's not discuss it again." The foreman's eyes suddenly blaz- ed. "You'll be talkin' another tune," he rasped, "'fore I git through. I ain't good enough for yuh, eh? Yo're in love with that safe-crackin' out- law! Well, I ain't goin' to follow yo're loco orders. I'm a-goin' to put the sheriff on that hombre's trail!" The girl's eyes turned chill. "And what good will that do you? It was my money. I'll not swear out a war- rant for his arrest and I'll not prose- cute him. I'm not so sure now that he did steal it. You, for instance, might have ridden baek here." Roy thrilled to her words. So she still believed in him! He left the knot hole and stepped toward the -doer,. but did not • show himself. - He heard Picos, in a rage; pouring forth a torrent of words. "Yuh little fool! I'm buyin' in the Rockin' Arrow, and yo're goin' to walk the chalk line for me! Under- stand? Come here— I'in hankerin' after a kiss!" There was the sound of a scuffle, followed by the muttered curses of the foreman. Roy stepped out into the yard. Sarah was clasped in Pico's arms, struggling to free her- self. Picos was trying to tilt her head back in order to reach her lips with his own, Teach Him a Lesson "That there is a right pretty sight, Picos" Roy's voice cut the air like a keen -edged knife. "I never would have guessed you to be a lady's man." The foreman sprang back, his hand dropping swiftly to his gun. But a bullet sliced the gun belt before he could get his hand on the butt. With both hands, he grabbed for the drop- ping, heavily loaded belt. "It ain't considered healthy to draw a gun on ine, Picos." Roy shoved his own gun back into its holster. "Bet- ter let yore belt drop. I reckon we can settle this with our fists." Sarah's eyes had momentarily lit up, then were instantly veiled. "What are you doing back on the Rocking Arrow spread ?" she de- manded coolly. Roy grinned. `'T collie back for my warbag, ma'am. I wasn't expectin' fo meet anyone. But, seein' as I have, 1 figger maybe Picos and me might settle our troubles, with you is a referee." "That's jake with me, fella." Picos' big fists clenched. "I'll take yuh apart!" The girl stepped between them. "You'll do nothing of the kind. Roy, you take your warbag and get out of here. I suppose you thought you were doing me a favor when you in- terferred?" The foreman pushed her aside angrily. "Git out of the way, Sarah. I'in hankerin' to teach this coyote a lesson. Lay yore gun aside, wise guy, if yuh ain't yella." Roy chuckled, unfastened his gun belt, and let it fall to the ground. He stepped to one side, arms hanging loosely at his sides. "I'm ready, Picos," he said, mock- ingly. A Sleep -Producer The foreman dove at him. Roy side-stepped, and his fist caught Picos' nose. The foreman came in again, arms flailing. The puncher took a stinging blow on the ear and retaliated with a sharp right to the foreman's midriff. Picos almost doubled up. Roy's fist shot upward and snapped the man's head back, sending him reel- ing backward. But it was no knock- out blow. Picos recovered his bal- ance, and came in again, but this time more warily. Roy's fist, at close quarters, whip- ped about his head like a swarm of stinging, angry, yellow -jackets. Picos cursed, but he could not seem to find his elusive opponent. Roy planted a hard one to the foreman's middle. "They call that a belly -wallop. And here's one they call a rib -crusher!" Picos grunted wth pain and swung wildly. By chance, the blow connect- ed with Roy's ear, "itromentarily stunning him. Finally, his head cleared. A wide grin creased his lips. "This one is the sleep -producer, Picas!" His left crossed with the speed of a striking rattler. His right streaked upward from his waist. Pieos seemed to rise in the air, his body arched backward. Then his knees buckled and he collapsed in a huddled heap on the sun -cracked ground. Quick Trick Roy wiped his hands with his neck- erchief, and was stooping to pick up his gun belt when Sarah spoke sharp- ly. "Never mind the gun, Roy! I've seen enough." A glance showed hien that she had drawn her own gun and had him cov- ered. As he slowly straightened, his toe hooked into his gun belt. He was more than startled. A few minutes before, he had heard Sarah expressing her belief in his inno- cence. Then, he had kept her from being man -handled by the foreman. There was certainly no figuring a woman! "What now, ma'am? A minute ago, you told me to get out. Are you askin' me to stay?" A mocking smile curved his lips. "I've changed my mind," she snap- ped. "I think you are guilty. At any rate, I'm going to turn you over to the sheriff. Ray's toe hooked farther under the gun belt. "I reckon I should have let you do that in the first place," he said. "I'm Coro lotion Styles.

Under this influence, knit- ted fashions are surging to the top in style importance, and new atten- tion is being paid to interesting de- tail work that is either dressmaker or tailored in feeling—thus keeping the British tradition for ' fine work- manship, Sitches are distinctly new; often giving a fabric -like appearance that is altogether revolutionary and unparalleled in knitted costumes. Distinctive novelty touches find their place, too, in the contrasting ;'over- plaids and crossbars of British Bal- macans, and in two -toned jackets worn over monotone skirts. Color, too, shows the effect of the Coronation splendor. Two-piece dresses are often knit in vigorous contrasting tones. Smart combine- tions, for example, are a dark hunt- ers' green skirt, with a coronation gold blouse; a soldier blue sweater with a citron yellow scarf; or a wine dresses with embroidered plaid in soldier blue.

Sarah gave a quick glance behind her. At that instant, Roy's foot lift- ed ifted the heavy gun belt and sent it hurtling like a lariat toward her gun arm. Too late, she realized the ruse. The belt dropped on her wrist, and the weight of it made her arm drop. With cat -like quickness, Roy leap- ed forward and twisted her gun" from her hand, (To be Continued.). Cause of High flood Pressure Y' OE Doctors Doctors Report Progress Tracking it Down Medical science, which for centur- ies has sought vainly to establish the cause of high blood pressure, re- ported progress last week by an- nouncing the elimination of several things commonly accepted as causes. Dr, Herman 0. Mosenthal, of Co- lumbia University, told the annual graduate fortnight ef.the New York Academy of Medicine that the dis- ease, a major cause of death was not caused by excessive protein or car- bon -hydrate foods, alcohol in modera- tion, the presence of high -blood su- gar, or overweight, Functional Disorder He defined the disease as a func- tional disorder, characterized by progressively increasing elevation or arterial. pressure, and noted that the "mechanical strain" incidental to its presence then produced changes it the heart and the arteries of the brain and kidneys so severe that. death often results. Emphasizing that alcohol, in mod- eration, does not influence blood pressure, Dr. Mosenthal pointed 'out that the blood pressure of habitual heavy drinkers is lowered in some instances when the alcohol is re- stricted or total abstinence is prac- - ticed . Overweight Produces Strain He explained that overweight, while in itself having no effect on blood pressure, dM place an addi- tional strain upon the heart and ar- teries and should be avoided. The only effect of protein and carbohy- drate foods, he added, was their ten- dency to cause overweight. Admitting that science has yet to establish definitely the cause of the disease, which is more prevalent among the aged, Dr. Mosenthal said that one of the "assumed" causes has been, and is, a large blood vol- ume. "The key to the situation," he said, "probably depends upon the. fact that the arterial, puhnonary, ca- pillary and venous regions have dif- ferent functions in regard to the storage of blood. In the capilaries and veins a rise in blood volume should be effected without difficulty, while in the arterial system the quantity of blood probably remains constant." buys 'a new guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE ABLE TYPEWRITER with all essential features FREE— CARRYING CASTE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR Write — Remington Rand Limited Toronto Issue No. 47—'37 D--2 housewife should keep a carton or sealed tin of it on the pantry shelf.

W. C. A. Otherwise why would 1,000 young women -84 per cent. of whom were between the ages of 18 and 30—both- er to sit down and answer about three dozen questions, concerning their working conditions, salaries, fi- nancial responsibilities and leisure time activities, in an effort to help better conditions for working wo- manhood in general? The replies sent by the thousand girls—about a third of whom were not "Y" members—were unsigned, so that the girls were free to write with the utmost frankness. Some in- teresting information anent working conditions — which would probably not be available through the usual investigatory channels — was there- fore revealed. Findings of the survey have been compiled in pamphlet form. The replies represented office -work, housework, business, industry and the professions — the largest groups being office and housework. Obligations and Earnings Financial obligations and expenses are large in proportion to earnings, and hit those on low salaries in in- dustry and housework the hardest, it was shown by the survey. Although 19 per cent. professional and 15, per cent. business women are able to live at home and keep their earnings for their own use, only 4 per cent. of. the industrial workers and a,.l;ike Proportion ef'roffice work'rs°"amain" this position. The low level of industrial wages is aggravated by the general prase ' tice of paying by piecework, which causes uncertainty as to weekly earnings. No Provision For Old Age Seasonal overtime in industry is for far longer periods than allowed by law under a permit, it was shown. No holidays, year after year, was reported for 27 per cent. of the in- dustrial, business and houseworkers and 10 per cent. professional and office, while "holidays without pay" were enjoyed (?) by 49 per cent. of the first three groups and 10 per cent. of the latter. "The smallness of the number of those who are making any provision for old age or illness was startling, and indicative of the need for an educational campaign along this line to bring to the attention of the av- erage self-supporting girl the advam tages of starting in early years while premiums are small," it was pointed out.
