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. * x 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.

The Home Corner By EiNOR DALE Aso 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.

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; WEE SCOT"T"IE MAYFAIR DESIGN NO. 5002 GRR-R-R-R 1 The nursery, watch- dog stands guard !
