The Girl JAMES BL. RUBEL
of the Rocking Arrow
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 Rattle.
The foreman, Picos Glassed, 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 sante manner?
A vision of the girl swam before his
eyes. The bright blue eyes, the cop-
per -tinted hair, and the rounded oval
of her face. He groaned again. He
had failed her at the last. Picos had
dragged her to her death.
Then, unexpectedly, he saw the
foreman! The river had been kind to
Picas, too. He Iay 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! Ile 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
plan 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'1l
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 bad had
a hunch 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 bit the rapids."
Sarah safe! Great relief welled up
in Roy. Then he heard Picos con-
tinuing.
"Once the water goes down, you
and I kin wade ashore — you at the
point of this here gun!"
* * *
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, before the rain ceased, this
hump of sand would be moved bodily
by the flood to some other Iocation.
A mocking grin tightened Roy's
lips. "You jest think you'll walk, Pe-
cos. But you won't! The water's
ricin' fast, and seems to me I recol-
lect you cain't swim. I can!"
That struck home. Picos' eyes sud-
denly shifted. Ile 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'll 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 almost
awash now.
He shrugged. "If you're aimin' to
drown, there ain't a better place than
right here. I'll save no man with a
gun at my back. Throw away that
gun, and Pll try to take you ashore."
The six-gun wavered. Picos had no
alternative. He scrambled to his feet
and ht the gun thud to the sand.
"Git me out of here!"
A Desperate Fight
Roy dragged off his outer clothes,
and made Picos do the same. Sudden-
ly, he saw a livid scar that creased
the foreman's back, and his eyes nar-
rowed.
"All right, Piccs!" he rasped•
"This ain't goili 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-
ally, 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 him
'from getting a death -grip as the wa-
ter swirled around them.
The river carried them 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 e cat-
like twist, he broke free, and got a
Excessive Smokkg
Dulls' Color Sense
Railway Tests Reveal Improve-
ment If Man Cut Down on The
Smokes
If your wife's new party dress looks
a sort of a muddy brown to you in
spite of the fact that she tells you
it's a bright blur or green, the chances
are you're smoking too much.
Because smoking does affect the
sense of color' and excess smoking
brings color blindness .in some cases.
This fact has been definitely estab-
lished by work carried on in the regu-
lar testing of eyes of railway workers..
All railway employees engaged in
actual operation of trains must have
their eyes tested every two years. A
small portion, who wear glasses or
have slight deficiency, must have tests
made every year,
Found To Be Slipping
And in conducting these tests . rail-
way investigators have found that the
use of tobacco does affect the color
sense. Men who were found to be slip-
ping in the color tests have been ad-
vised to cut down on or give up to-
bacco and in practically every case
this would be reflected in an improved
color test, it is stated.
A vision ear conducting the one-year
tests for C. P. R. operating .depart-
ment employees at London, Ontario,
arrived in the city, under charge of
J.' J, O'Mara, of Montreal. Tests are
made of vision, hearing and color:
sense.
Inferiority Complex
Handicaps Women
Most of Them in Business Believe
It's Still A Man's World, Says
College Official
Women still are handicapped by a
place of social inferiority. in modern
society, Aaron J. Brumbaugh, acting
dean of the college of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, said in a dinner
address last week.
"In Germany for example, woman's
place is still defined in the terns
'kuchen,' 'kirehe' and 'kinder,' with
the emphasis on the `kirche" and hea-
vy on the `kinder'. In our own de-
mocracy we theoretically concede
the equality of the sexes, but in
reality it's still a man's world, Many
a girl is brought up to believe that
she needs the strong sustaining arm
of a man to support her, and we neon
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. 13y
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 herself
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-

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
xpense 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 reco,'Inizing the fact that bread
is nod:fishing without being fatten-
ing, be,oure it contains vitamins and
ntineia1,, is a very neccssaiy item in
everyone's dict. The addition of rich,
smooth chocolate to these bread pud-
dings g`:'es them an unusually fine
flavour.

1927 Movie Names
Now Are Fts,rgotten
Fano 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 hie 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.
Four 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 neck, 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.
It's a good idea to remember that
clothes with slightly exaggerated
shoulders make hips seem narrower;
