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 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 XI Roy regained consciousness to find himself lying on hard sand, his breath coming in choking gasps. The rain beat in his face. It helped to revive him. He staggered to his feet and look- ed about groggily. Steep cliffs rear- ed their smooth sides on both banks of the river. The waters had miracu- lously thrown him up on . a sandbar below the rapids. But what good did it do him? There was no way ashore, except down the river past those cliffs. He sank to his knees. Sarah was drowned — there could be no doubt of it. He groaned. Why had not the river taken him in the same manner? A vision of the girl swam befc i e eyes. The bright blue eyes, the Cap per -tinted hair, and the rounded o' a ,, of her face. He groaned- again .;TIe hNc1_.arlsd 11e at ',the last. .Pi.cbs :fid dragged her to her death. Then, unexpectedly, he saw the foreman! The river had been kind to Picos, too.' He lay sprawled at the other end of the bar, almost hidden by a mass of broken tree branches. A Shot Rings Out Roy rose and staggered toward the prone figure. But before he reached the foreman, a gun crashed, the shot echoing from the rock cliffs. A slug tore up the sand at Roy's feet. He crouched, right hand reached. automatically for his holster. But his gun was gone! He had dropped it to the river's bottom. Picos' snarling voice barked at him. The foreman was sighting along the muzzle of his gun. "I reckon there ain't room on this sandbar fer two of us!" Roy knew that nothing short of a miracle could save him now. But strangely, he didn't care. Sarah was drowned. The thought hammered. at his brain. Pecos had saved himself and let her perish. Roy stood there, eyes bloodshot, swaying a little. "Why don't you shoot, you mur- derin' coyote?" he rasped. Picos laughed derisively. "I've changed my mind, I've got a better pian fer yuh, John Tedgar! I been tryin' to figger out who yuh was since the day yuh come to the Rock - in' Arrow. I know now! The sheriff'll be right pleased to meet up with yuh when I tell him yuh robbed the boss' safe." Roy's eyes turned opaque. This was the bandit — the hombre who had killed his partner! He had had a Bunch all along. He was sure of it now. Picos grinned at him, enjoying what he -took to be Roy's conster- nation. "Sarah's safe," he said. "Mescal, from the shore, got a rope around her 'fore we hit the rapids." Sarah safereat relief welled up in Roy. Then he heard Picos con - "Once the water goes down, you and I kin wade ashore — you at the point of this here gun!" Excessive Sn lolx �► ids Color Seise.

Inferiority Complex' Handicaps Wo en Most of Them in Business Believe It's Still A Man's World, Says College Official Women still are handleappeby a place of social inferiority in amdern society, Aaron J. Brumbaughacting , dean of the college of the' Jniver- sity of Chicago, said in a inner address last week. "In Germany for example, vonnair's place is still defined in thi terns 'kuchen,' 'kirche' and'kinder with" the emphasis on the 'kirche' aid hea- vy on the 'kinder'. In our qui de- mocracy we theoretically. cencede the equality of the sexes, tut in reality it's still a man's world. Many a girl is brought up to believe that she needs the stiong sustaining arm of a than to support her, and we men in our own vanity and conceit grati- fy our ego by pampering her. Should Realize Possibilities "Those of us in the college field are often guilty of intensifying this feeling by the inequalities in our treatment of men and women. ]3y and large, college women are handi- capped by a sense of inferiority that grows out of •their home life and is perpetuated. both in our social and college traditions. The remedy does not lie in a vain protest against her sex, but in the recognition of her Own potential possibilities." Women, on the whole, are better students than men, but are less com- petent in situations calling for the organization of their materials; Dean Brumbaugh said. Duchess of Windsor Woman of the Year And Dionne Quintuplets Repre- sent Mass Production at Style Show A striking brunette in a wedding gown of "Wallis blue" carried berself with royal dignity, and her face was unmistakably that of the Duchess of Windsor. A hush fell over the audience 'of 1,500 fashion designers, writers and store executives meeting in New York. Then from an invisible loud speaker came: "Ladies and gentlemen! We give you—the 'woman of the year'!" There was applause. Then another figure was held in the spotlight down stage. This one was a buxom blonde in a purple velvet costume, Again the loud speaker: "We give you, none other than—Mae West!" Others followed — Lillian Russell, Clara Bow, the "It" girl, Marlene Diet- rich, wearing masculine full dress, and Garbo. Near the end came Shirley Temple, and last of all the Dionne quintuplets on roller skates. "We give you," said the loud speak- er, "a symbol of mass production." An onion peeled from the root end causes less tears. Peel the potatoes last, because they help to remove the unpleasant onion smell. So does wash- ing the hands in very cold water after handling onions. The ELEP,NOR DALE Swimming For Both Roy inwardly smiled. He knew that neither he nor Picos would leave this sandbar on foot. The water was still' rising, and the chances were ' good that, beforeet`lie rain ceased, this hump of sand would be moved bodily by the flood to some other location. A mocking grin tightened Roy's lips. "You jest think you'll walk, Pe- cos. But you won't! The water's risin' fast, and seems to me I recol- lect you cain't swim. I can!" That struck home. Picos' eyes sud- denly shifted• He looked at the swift- ly rushing, muddy water all around him. It was lapping at his feet now —getting steadily higher. "It must be a good mile swim to a place where a fella can climb out," Roy pointed out. "You cain't climb those cliffs!" Picos' face twisted with anger. "I reckon I'II jest make you do the swimmin' fer both of us," he snarl- ed. "Either that or git a slug in you." Roy looked at the rapidly rising water. The sandbar was aBnost awash now. He shrugged. "If you're aimin' to drown, there ain't a better place than right here. Pll save no man with a gun at my back. Throw away that gun, and P1l try to take you ashore." The six-gun wavered. Picos had no alternative. He scrambled to his feet and let the gun thud to the sand. "Git me out of here!" A Desperate Fight Roy dragged off his outer clothes, and made Picos clo the same. Sudden- ly, he saw a livid scar that creased the foreman's back, and his cyes'.nar- rowed . "All right, Picos!" lie rasped. "This ain't goin' to be a strawberry festival. You'll do as I say or we'll both end up in a watery grave. Get into the water and roll over on yore back." It took Picos several minutes to get up nerve enough to do that, but fin- alise he was in the water, and Roy was towing him. He was as heavy as a water -soaked log. Roy had to use force several times to keep hint from getting a death -grip as the wa- ter swirled around then. The river carried thein swiftly downstream. After what seemed hours> they passed from the narrow chasm and reached wider, smoother waters. Roy' began working in towards shore, fighting every inch of the way, HIS arms were aching, and he was almost at the point of complete ex- haustion, but he fought on desperate- ly, dragging at Picos' weight. The foreman was the. first to feel the soft sand underfoot. With a cat- like twist, he broke free, and got a EASY ECONOMY Most of us find it necessary to budget very carefully during the month of December so that our limit- ed means can take in the extra ex- pense of Christmas. It Is one thing we don't mind having to stint for, because our reward comes at the end of the month when the happy family is gathered around the table, laden with the Christmas dinner which was made possible by a little economy here and there. In the meantime, however, it is often hard to find economical dishes that will satisfy the whole family.. Desserts particularly, present a prob- lem which the housewife has to solve over and over again, day after day. However much you have 'to cut down on the price of desserts, don't cut down on their nutritive value. Par- ticularly at this time of the year when it is necessary to give the youngsters, and adults, too, all the food value that can be obtained. Well nourished bodies will throw off the cold of chilly days and help guard against winter ailments. Bread puddings are ideal for des- serts because they have everything. They are nourishing, economical and - above all, tasty. Bread is too often considered just something that goes with butter and we seldom stop to consider how valuable a part ,of our diet it is. More than ever, dieticians are recognizing the fact that bread is nourishing without being fatten- ing, because it contains vitamins and mineral.^„ is a very necessary item in everyone's diet. The addition of rich, smooth chocolate to these bread pud- dings gives thele at unusually fine flavour.

Issue No. 50—'37 D--2 1927 Bovie Names Now Are F + rg sten. 'aces That Once Held Magic, ]:Mostly Lost in Obscurity What's become of Reginald Denny, Milton Sills, Bebe Daniels, Corinne Griffith, Harold Lloyd? Well, 10 years is a long time. A decade ago box offices clinked steady music to their names and those of Colleen Moore, Tom Mix, Norma Talmadge, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Now most are forgotten • Walter Pidgeon, a screen veteran, makes a hobby of tracing the careers of his colleagues. He asked a group of exhibitors "what names meant most to you in your billings ten years ago?" Formerly "Tops" Of 60 names, Colleen Moore led all the rest. Now, little Shirley Temple has taken her place. Miss Moore is ex- hibiting a doll house. Pour of the then -greats, said Pid- geon, are still "tops." They are:— Wallace Beery, Ronald Colman, Rich- ard Dix and Norma Shearer. Eleven of the old 60 are still fea- tured:— Harold Lloyd, Hoot Gibson, Reginald Denny, Buck Jones, Jack Holt, Marion Davies, John Barry - more, George O'Brien, Harry Carey, Adolphe Menjou and Lewis Stone. Eleven others have died. Two, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, have dropped out of their own voli- tion, although they are an attraction when they make an occasional pic- ture. Publicity Can't Do It However, Pidgeon observed, many others deliberately chose courses out of the spotlight. Pidgeon drew these conclusions: It is easy to sell the public a new face through ballyhoo. Publicity alone, however, won't keep a player a star. A star must have the support of men, women and children — all of them—women especially. Acting ability counts far less than luck. Tips on Clothes Pick Out Styles That Suit You, Regardless of Fashion If you have a rather short, fairly plump heck, steer clear of the new heavy gold necklaces,. regardless of how much you like them. If your legs are• very short, don't be tempted by stockings with clocks or others with heel reinforcements 'which' end in high points. Either makes the legs seem shorter.
