KYNE (Continued from )asst week) Jake ran his car into the yard, leaped straight toward them. "You know the boss's orders, Purdy," he announced bnlskly. "You been warn- ed cif this ranch and warned fair. _I ain't got no gain si y'ou know why, but just the sante 3•oa're grin' to gic out o' here a 4lyin' " "That's just how I expect to go, Jake," Purdy replied smilingly, "Bret not until I tell him to go, Mr. eeote,"' Gail declared, and stood up. "I'm in command :.ere;, and from now on I do not want you to forget that. I m giving •orders on the Box K Ranch, Mr. Dort. Are you prepare to obey my orders?" Jake stared at her. "Of course not," he answered' with characteris • tic bluntness. "Hew do I know you are my boss?" "I have told you so -'twice." Jake continued' to stare. Finally he shook his 'head negatively. "Jake," said' Lee Purdy quietly, "the lady says she owns the Box K Ranch. Doesn't that make her your boss?" "You shut up. You ain't got noth- hi' to do with the Box K Ranch er me or this young Lady or Ira Todd. I'm Ira Todd's range boss; Ira's in hospital and I'm the boss of this ranch until he gets 'out. That's' fin- al. Miss Ormsby, I ain't takin' your orders." Pete Howe strolled' over. "She•or- dered us, through Purdy here, tw drive the stock diet of the winger pasture onto. the government range and let 'em 'drift. I told her we'd wait bo see what you had to say a - be, it `"Them cattle will stay where they are at," Jake declared. He faced Pui dy belligerently. "You vamose." "Stay where you are, Mr. Purdy, until I am ready to go," Gail com- manded'. • Jake was equal to the occasion. "How soon, ma'am, will you be ready to go?" he temporized, "As soon as Mr. Purdy is ready to go.'' "Well, he's ready now, ma'am." "Are you, Mr. Purdy?" "No. I never do anything under duress," "Well, I don't like to make trouble in front of a lady," said Jake apolo- getically, "but I got my•or'ders from Ira Todd last night and I'm going to 'obey 'em. Purdy, will you go peace- able -like or will you take a leckin' first?" Purdy glanced at Gail and she saw that the issue was up to her. In- stantiy 'she made her decision, "Ma- jor Purdy," she announced, "you have laid yourself open to insult and abuse fiem this man, who is my servant. You have done this in my inrterest. I am sorry, and I prefer to go now. The odds appear bo be five to'one a- gainst you." Purdy's heart thrilled. She would let him fight if he chose to do so. Pale, frightened, trembling, she still had control of her hhoughbs. She still had pride that could not be rout- ed by fear. She was mistress here, yet her authority had been flouted, and Purdy realized that she was at her wit's end to enforce that author- ity. Providentially the warrior heart oi' Jake Dort solved the problem, The range Moss, turned' to his rid- ers. "Don't none of you boys daet to •interfere in my private affairs," he warned them, "I'm boss here and if I can't take care of my authority I'll quit." "Thank you, Jake, P11 play fair," uee Purdy removed his aviator's hei- st and leather coat. Then he re- noved tie( sweater he wore under I and rhe men of the Box K Manch saw that he eras unarmed, `Hew de you settle your dispute,, Jakc?" he asked gently as he dre'v on his gloves. "Marquis of Queens- berry miles; -or the tom -cat method," Jake scratched' his head. "I out- weigh you by more'n forty pounds," I- t complained. "I reckon it'll have to re a plain stand up, give an' take, YIaylbe you got more science than me 0 offset my weight. Anyhow, you make it." "Well, then, I'll make it a free -for - 11, winner winner take all. I bar only the uee of the feet and kneels, hitting be - ow the belt and eye -gouging. If you can down me and climb me, do it Come hack of the barn, you fat pig, ill I slaughter you." Together they went back of the barn. Five minutes later Lee Purdy eturned, walked. tie a watering tub n front of the horse barn and wash - d his gauntlet gloves therein before ppr'oaching the four men who sat ke four owls an the tongue of the ay wagon. "Jake cannot enforce his' authority n the Box K Ranch, so he has quit. any Howe. do Mon want the job eke has just quit?" Pete Howe grinned, "I ain't been id for the one I hold for nigh on - three menthe." "In one week from to -day all of nu boys shall be paid. Will you eke my word 'of honor for that?" "`Your word of .honor's good in this 'entry " "Will you obey Miss Ormsby's 'er- rs im,mediatelly?"" The four nodded. "Very well, hen, Vete. You're the range boss of he Box K Ranch. When Jake comes ut of his trance, pile him and his unnage in that automobile and take m in to Arguello.' Leave him there al hustle right back. I take it h at's the ranch car." "We're achy on grub and our • citable cit last weak. Got to have grub id a cock. We'll be driving nigh DT a week." ""I'l'l start my eotrk, with grub and he churl wagon and orders to meet Ye to•-mbmmow morning somewhere long the main Rio Hondo, below the unetien of the Middle Pork. Keep an eye out for him. I have one rider declared. "They want to see 'y'our grazing permit and Lee's. lapse so they can run sheep In the 'Ouyamaca Reserve. If they could have those 'grazing permits revoked, Miss Orms- by, our summer range would be gone and, of course it woulc9iM be worth while to carry on in b cattle busi- n se's wi't'hout a sunme� ; range. It's just a plan of those %heepmen to smash you. and Lee so they can buy Thoth winter ranges .cheap, or else lease them cheap after you have been driven out of (business," By his silence Lee Purdy appear- ed to coincide with his sister's ex- planation. It was apparent to Gail that he desired Hallie to think she bad fathomed the reason for his wor- ries. Hallie went on. "Powreful' piolit{ica1 :influence has been brought to bear on the Depart- ment of the Interior to have Lee's grazing pr'i.tiilege cancelled. All sorts Of silly charges that he has violated the rules of the 'Forest Reserve have been filed against ,him since the new supervisor took change, •bu thus far they have all fallen flat. . The only witnesses are the rangers and they are all very friendly to Lee." "There was a shake-up in the De- partment recently," Purdy took up the hale. "Three of the .beset rangers here -and three of my beet friends, too, by the way -have been promot- ed to assistant supervisorshi'ps and transferred to other states: Of course their long, unselfish service had earn- ed therm promotion years ago, but nevertheless I'm suispicious of such a tbelated sense of duty as the Depart- ment exhibits." "How about Steve MacDougald?" Gail queried, "Oh, Steve received a promotion too! The notice so amazed him he rode over to discuss it with me. Of course I advised him to accept, 'but Steve is a suspicious man. He loathes underhand 'work and he suspected it here, because he had had a couple of heated disagreements with his sLipee- visor and in the natural course of ev- ents his supervisor should be the last person on earbh to recommend him for •prom'etion. Finally, Steve is of Scottish ancestry and a fiercely inde- pendent man.. It irked him to be un- der obligation to a man he mistrust- ed and disliked, so he declined the promotion on the ground that he is happy where he is and dislikes being g "Doesn't the fact that you, volun- tarily and at your own and your neighbors' expense, have established an aerial patrol after 'the Army Air Service patrol was withdrawn, make you popular in Washington?" "I thi'n'k it helps. My service is known there. Unfortunately, howev- er, I have a slightly shady record be- hind me." Gail's face showed her amazement, but she was boo wellebred to ask for particular. Purdy ate in sdlenee for a couple of minutes and then resum- ed: "Recently somebody remember- ed that record' and sent it where it would do the mast good." "Do tlhey- hope to use it as the sound (basis for an excuse to get an undesirable character roll the Cuya- mace 'Reserve?" Gail asked, He smiled faintly. "I dare say." •"And when I heard about it," Hal- lie spoke up triumphantly, "I sent certified copies of Lee's war record -his citations, letters of commenda- tion from his commanding officers - everything. And I wrote a letter to the Forestry Chief, too." Her brother beamed upon her, "Yes and you were , unnecessarily belligerent," he reminded here. "Had you been able to travel you would. have taken the first train to Wash- ington to see the President about it." "'I couldn't," Hallie admitted, "so I wrote to the President, and after he had investigated he wrote me that while he was in office Lee Purdy w'.ruld not have his grazing permit revoked. So there! If I hadn't done it, Mies Ormsby, it wouldn't have been done. Lee is so stupid about such things," "Hallie dear," he reminded her gently, "sol'd'iers and gentlemen nev- er refer to -their war records as a reason for :being given greater con- sideration than Chose who have no war records. In fact, they do not re- fer to then at any time, and you must never do such a thing again, Harlie," "Oh, I'm a Purdy, even if I'm a half -portion Purdy! When I get in- to a fight I ne oer disdain any wea- pon handy." He chuckled as she flung his words of a few minutes pred'ious in his face, "The whole thing probably is a mare's nest," he declared ligthtiy, and shifted the conversation to an- other subject. As they rose from luncheon he remarked that he was going to fly down to Arguello for the mail and would be back before dark, at the ranch now and 'I'1.1 come with him and help you. Understood?" "'Segguro,'senor." "Thank you,. Pete. Thank all you boys. 'Miss Ormisliry Will appreciate your spirit more than most women would,. because she understands. She thanks .and reasons like a man. 'He turned from •the flour, walked over to the bench and' sat dawn be- side Gail. "Thank you," he, murmur- ed. "It had to, be done, you realiz- ed It had to be done .and you permit- ted me to do it, It wasn't a difficult job. Jake is very awkward. He was so big and hard that he was not easy tf,a,, upset, but once I did upset him he stayed upset. He's finished, He's been humbled in sight of his own men -or rather he will be as soon as they see his face.. I chopped him• up quite deliberately. Shall we go home now?" "Please," she pleaded. "Please -- you desperado!" CHAPTER VIII The flight back to La Cuesta En- cantada was made wi•th•ou,t incident. Safe on his landing ground once more, Purdy escorted his guest to the h•ause, where Gail changed into more feminine attire and rejoined her host in the living room. !Bailie appeared Meetly thereafter and the three went in to luncheon. Gail was not inclined to uphold her end of the conversation. The knowl- edge of her financial predicament and the 'impassibility of her plan to live at the Box K Ranch depressed her; she really did not know which way to turn and presently, attempting to reply to some polite commonplace, of Hallie's, she choked up and tears trembled on her lashes. Purdy and his si'st'er exchanged glances, and Hanle rested her little pale hand on the visitor's firm brown one for a moment and patted it in silent sym- parthy, I'tI',m !such a lsoftl flabby 'idiiot," Gail murmured, striving her best to smile despite the fear at her heart. "I •haven't the courage of a field- mouse. I'm ashamed of myself. But you see, I'm quite alone in the world and I --II just do not know what to do." "That's splendid," her host assur- ed her gravely. "Now you'll have to depend upon us. I do the thinking for the Purdy fancily and while I do not always know what to do myself, still I manage to put up such a good bluff that my enemies usually do not suspect my Ihelples.snes,s. And when I am: stumped Hallie always man- ages to come forward with a bril- liant idea_" He turned to Hallle with the affecti'on'ate paternal look that always lighted his face when he spoke to his, invalid sister, "Hallie Purdy, front and center!" he commanded, "The commanding officer can see by the look in his adjutant's eye that she is :the possessor of a brilliant idea." "I am," Hallie replied- "I think 'Miss Ormsby might 'buck up, After luncheon Conchita will unpack her trunk and Miss Orm'eby will be our guest until her affairs are straight- ened out." "But I'm a total stran•ger," Gail protested. "I have no right to thrust myself and my troubles upon you just because you are so surpassingly kind. d'm so grateful, but - when I find it impossible longer to hang on I can let go. I -d._ -I think I shall sell to Mr. Doak," "You're begging the question, Miss Ormsby, The ,question before the house is: Do you or do you not ac- cept Hallie's invitations?" "For the present I do -most eag- erly an•d gratefully, But I repeat it ien t fair of me to burden you with my worries anal, griefs, and I shall not do so." ""Well, I'll admit, Miss Ormsby, I have .sufficient worries to keep me a- wake nights. Nevertheless, my de- sire to take over the administration of your affairs is not altogether a philanthropic one, I'm not so cer- tain that our wnorries aren't mutual; that we haven't a common enemy to fight and that the best way to insure victory isn't to delegate the respon- sibility to a supreme command, vleee is as capable as any man you could find," Hallie assured her loy- ally, "He just Teves a fight." "I do not," her.brother contradict- ed. "I loathe a fight." "Oh, you'll do anything reasonable to avoid one, dear, but you do not evade an issue." "Well," he admitted, "when one knows he has a fight on his hand, that ruthless enemies are bound to close .in on him•, it's good strategy not to wait until they do so hut .to go directly- to the assault an'd' employ weapon handy," "Who are your enemies, Mr. Pur- dy?" "I- do not know. That's what keeps me awake nights." "Do you think I .have enemies?" "Not in the sense that I have, I think, you are regarded as one trick they can take with a li'ttl'e trump deuce as soon as: they get the joker oub of the way. I'm the j•oke•r. When. you have been smashed financially or hopelessly discouraged you can be .bought tout --cheap, I am regarded as one .difficult to smash financially, not readily, .discouraged and impoLs- sibie to buy 'oust ---cheap," • The girl looked at her host and in- t) her mind there flashed' the vision of the wounded man at San Onofre; she recalled Purdy's white lie to his sister regarding the bullet hole in the shoulder of his coat. With her brother out 'of the way weak little !Halite would be heiplesa_.as helpless a's' Gail herself She under- stood now what kept him awake o' nights. "4Oh, it's theme sheepman!"

The mechanicians, Tommy, was att the wheel of the two-seater with Pur- dy .in the observlem'�s seat as the plane roared over the Enchanted Hill and disappeared ie the blue haze to •the southeast. • Lee Purd'y's hands were bruised and sw*ollen, from his com- bat with Jake (Dora; he founds dif- ficulty in opening and closing them now and feared he might fumble the controls; also, for aught he knew he might be flying in the face of Novi:, dence and in ;a. pinch Tommy would stand back the back with him. They landed in a field on the out- skirts of Arguello anal together walk- ed over to the hospital. At the office Purdy learned that Bud Shannon was holding his own; butt, because of ex- cessive loss of ,blood, a •blood trans- fusion would be necessary to save his life. "Any candidates for the job?" Purdy% manner was very casual. The nurse shook her head. "He is a stranger here and nobody is inter- ested, Mr. Purdy." ""You're wrong. I am, I'll donate. My blood's pure enough for anybody, but suppose you test it first. Where's the laboratory?". He was removing hie coat as he spoke; he was rolling isp his shirt -sleeves as, in obedience to the nurse's instruction, he follow- ed •her down the hall to the labora- tory. "How long must I wait in town before your test is. completed?" he asked the doctor. "Well, we could rush it through in about four hours," the latter replied, "but in the ease, of the man Shan- non we cannot wait that long'. He'll blink out in. two hours, So we'll have to risk infecting him with whatever microbes you may be carrying in your blood stream. Shannon strikes me as 'not particularly an ornament t'o society; your blood ought to be two good for him." "I know I'm 'O.K., Doctor. Let's go-" The graynees of eath was killer's face as Lee dPu dy bent nover him. "Hello, Bud," the latter salut- ed him. "I get you into this fix, so it's up to me to get you out." The 'blood transfusion was made in Shannon's room, and the gray sha- dows stole away from the killer's cold face as the hot, healthy blood of the man he had tried to murder for hire coursed through his depleted vein);, They gave Bud Shannon a pint --- and that was enough! Of that Purdy was cognizant as he stood erect when the ordeal was over. The d actor, -observing Purdy's weakness, promptly assumed the pre- rogative of his profession. ''I have a bed for you, Purdy. You will have to rest for a day or two until your body manufactures some more blood." "My dear man, • I have lost far more blood than that on more than one. occasion, and I kept on going. I had to," "That's different, You do not have to nowt -and besides you're not so young as you used to be," "I have things to do to -morrow morning, I'll rest here to -night and in the interim, Doc, try to reduce (the swelling, tin any handa. Tom- my" -turning to the pilot who had remained 'in the room, -"you fly home now- and tell Miss Hallie not to wait dinner for me, but do not tell her why. Come back at daylight tomor- row and take me home. Don't for- get to call for the mail." About three o'clock that afternoon Pete Howe set Jake Dort down in front of the Arguello Hospital and tossed a trunk and a bedding roll out on the sidewalk. The parting be- tween the range bogs and the Box K rider was not demonstrative, "Well, I hope you enjoy my job, Pete." "Never asked for it or expecte) it," Pete Howe retorted doggedly-. "Yeti must have done somethin' to win the queen's favor. Far' Jake Dort the ray had been long, arduou and replete with sad disappointment:, -he desired greatly to quarrel with somebody. "I)nn't get dirty, Jake," Pete Howe pleaded, "You ben licked bad enough for one day and I don't airy to take on no cripples myself." Jake .sighed. "I'11 be givin' order. to you again inside a week,". he promised. "You're feeling highs an' mighty now, Pete, but just wait till Ira Todd gets hack on the ranch." "I suppose you're goin' in to see the bass now an' explain how come yore face is on upside down," Pete suggested witheringly, "an' how me you've lost yore job." "Anyway, I'm layin' you ten to one then' cattle stay- in the winter pasture," -Jake growled. "I got a ace or two up the sleeve o' my kimono yet." ".Jake," Pete Howe replied severe- ly, "you're more or less of a buzzard to make war on a lady. I'm here to tell you do quit it or I'll make you right hard to catch. Hear me? I'm the range boss of the Box K Ranch whether I git paid for it or not, and the owner's battle is my battle," "Ira will give you your time the minute he gets back to the ranch." "Ira'll he lucky if some.b•ody don't give him his time fist." "A -a -g -g -h!" snarled Jake. He waddled wearily up the steps and in- to the hospital. Pete Howe glowered after the bulky retreating form and pondered for a minute, then dove around to the drug snore where there was a public telephone tsation. He called the Purdy ranch and asked for Miss Ormsby. "This is Pete Howe, your new range boss," he announced when Gail's 'Voice aitswer•ed. "I've got rid of Jake Dort and I'm telephonin' now from Arguello. Jake's goin' to do his best to stop us from clrivin' them cattle onto the government range.

Brucefield Kippen CHAPTER 1X Hensall Exeter At half after four Gail, dressed as she had bedfi when Purdy met her at San Onofre the day previous, knock- ed at the door of the hospital room where Ira Todd lay abed. "Come in!" Todd called savagely. He was ir'rit lble, for his head ached pr'o'digiously; also the soul within him was sore, for he had been pub- licly humiliated by a Chinaman "not much larger than a fifteen -year old white boy. He anticipated being made the recipient of much chaffing when he should emerge from the hos- pital. Gail entered, Her manager lay in bed with his head swathed in band- ages. A forty-eight hour beard had accentuated an unusual pallor upon his stern face, markedly masculine, patrician, handsome. It rippled into a smile of welcome as Gail entered, and the girl marked' his 'strong, even, beautiful white teeth --also the brown powerful forearm terminating in a urprisingly small, well -shaped hand' far one who, though he lay abed, im- pressed Gail instantly with his length, breadth and sinew.

The in part -"At this time of year the green or green and red light from clouds a re simply beautiful and often the clouds will thus effect the film, while practically no light from the sky will got through to it, and in the finished print, the clouds will appear whiter than the sky. Some film is slightly sensitive to green light but supersensitive pan- chromatic films will respond to both green and red light. Such films will, therefore, show up the clouds against the sky if used with a yellow filter. The deeper the yellow color in the filter the more violet and blue it removes, or "holds back." As you will no doubt surmise, there are various types of filters and eech type has its limitations so in choosing a filter you must make your own decision, based on your general requirements. A good gen- eral all-round filter is the K-2 which requires lengthening 'the exposure two to four times, depending on the film employed. There is also a filter known as a Sky Filter used extensively by the amateur to photograph clouds in a landscape with no increase in ex- posure time. Iialf of this filter is yel- low and the other half clear. This filter can be used without increasing the exposure because the sky is pho- tographed through the yellow part while the landscape, or general sub- ject is photographed through the lower half, which is not colored. If it's clouds you wanta filter Will prove invaluable. JOHN VAN GUILE/lilt when their formations are unusually attractive I take. many snapshots hoping they will register and give a rather true picture of the beautiful scene. I have boon somewhat disap- pointed in the results, however, for these beautiful, soft, white clonds have not appeared in the picture as true to nature 115 I had hoped for." Clouds do add to the beauty of any outdoor picture but it Is true that they do not always register through the lens of, the camera as they appear to the eye. Suppose we are taking a picture such as the one above and use a film which is sensitive only to ultra -vio- let, violet and blue light. We should not be able tt distinguish between the clouds and sky if we give enough exposure to show detail in the land- scape. This is because the light from the blue sky and the white clouds is very rich in light rays to which the film responds. Q Although clouds and blue sky are both rich in ultra -violet, violet and blue, there is a narked difference between the two. The light from the clouds, being white, actually con- tains a certain amount of green and red light, while that from the blue' sky does not. This, then makes it necessary to distinguish between clouds and sky in order to record both in a snap- shot. We must, therefore, use a film which will respond to green, or to
