FIRST INSTALMENT
On the second seat from the front
of the coach, facing forward, 'two cow-
punchers were hunkered down, appar-
ently asleep, for it was night. Their
backs were to, the poker game being
played across the aisle by three cow-
punchers and a professional gambler
on two up -ended suitcases.
The gambler, a young man, glanced
up.
"Here conies Hoagy."
The .players did not betray they
had [heard him until the middleaged
brakeman, Hoagy Hensthaw by name,
paused beside the game.
The cowpuncher whose back wars to
Hoagy slapped his hand dowir„a
"Three johns, gents, and a pr of
bullets." Then, as if he had inter-
rupted himself in the midst of a story,
he '.onittimledt: ' '1—A}nd this jasper
with the feet the size of a- loadinr
chute, turns to the brakie, real polite-
like, and says: 'SOP there's . a law
agin playinf poker on a train, is
they?'"
"What did the brakie say to 'that?"
a second cowpuncher, seated next to
the speaker, inquired innocently.
"The brakie, he said: 'It's a law,
my --friend. Not that I care if you
play poker on a train. I'd like to
play it with you.' And this jasper
Big Fopt whips out a plow handle
and says: 'Now, ain't that fine! Jest
set down.' The brakie sets down and
they dealt him a hand after he'd
bought in the game.
"Well, - when the brakie'd been
cleaned, Big Foot says: 'Mebbe
you'd like a loan?' real meanin'-like.
The brakie says sure. They plays for
another hour, the brakie still losin'.
When they comes to Big Foot's
stop, he looks around, 'How much
ani I into you?' he asks' the brakie.
*Fifty dollars, ain't it?' The brakie
says yes and Big Foot looks around
the car. `Danged if old. Henry
couldn't use these here plush cush-
ions on that ore -wagon of his,' Big
Foot says. Well, almost everybody
he knew was fr-eightin''ore. He just
helped thisself to half the seats in th,a:
car."
The second cowpuncher looker
up. "Hello, Hoagy. Like to sit in?"
"Me?" Hoagy said, with well -
feigned astonishment. "Hell, no. I
was never so busy in my life. You
fellers go ahead' and have your fun."
He retreated, shaking his head sob-
erly.
The gambler, seated next the aisle,
laughed silently at Hoagy's back, He
built a cigarette with quick and sure
fingers., shaking his head.
His wide -set blue eyes roamed a-
cross the aisle to include the two cow-
punchers in the joke, but they were
still asleep. His eyes travelled to the
one figure eeated against the end of
the car,• He saw only a surly -faced
cowpuncher looking out the window
into the night. From a loose mouth
a soiled cigarette drooped, curling
smoke up into un•biinking eyes. )up-
ped hands held a match preparatory
to lighting the cigarette.
The gambler's eyes narrowed a lit-
tle as he watchedthe man light his
already burning cigarette. Observed
now, the gambler was still -faced
quiet. He was perhaps in his early
thirties.
A close observer might .have notic-
ed with surprise that the wrinkles
around ,his eyes were of the kind that
snider -webbed from the outer corners
sun -wrinkles, instead of the kind that
pouched the lower lids.
When the gambler saw .the cow-
puncher light still another match, he
turned to his seat mate, his mouth
open to speak.
The sight of the man next to him
had changed his mind, evidently, for
the man had a sullen, almost oh4n-
less, face, so clean-shaven it looked
raw. He was a cowpuncher, in his
middle thirties; whose continual scow-
ling had worn creases in his forehead
and soft loose face.
"Let's play stud," he growled.
Finney yawned, stood up.
"I'm starter' ae game of draw back
here if anybody wants to buy in," he
announced.
The chinless oowpuncher flushed
"How about• a showdown?" he as
ed-
- The gambler shook his head,
'Finney's startin+ a gams down i
back if you still feel like it."
"You're a gambler, ain't you?"
"When I'm at a table, yes,"
The gambler looked across the
aisle, When his eyes turned, they
were staring into the steady muzzle
of a Colt in the hands . of the chin-
less puncher.
"I say we'll play. cards."
"I reckon mot." The gam,bier's,
speech was a quiet drawl.
He saw the eyes of the puncher
smear over and watched' the thumb
start to slide off• the hammer,
"Gamblera don't come- high in this
country, stranger," the puncher re-
plied' thickly.
The gambler shrugged, but made no
movement.
"Once more," the 'cowpuncher said
softly- "Let's you and me play
cards."
The gambler shook his head slow-
ly. ,
Fromacross the aisle a gun lanced
fire in a deafening explosion, It was
followed by a sharp cry' from the
cowpuncher who drew a bloody, gun -
less hand te his chest. The gambler
was out of his seat like a cat and
drove his fist into the face of the cow-
puncher.
Turning, he "saw a sleep -eyed cow-
boy sitting erect, a six-gun drooping
across his knee, a slow grin creasing
a long, lean face under raven -black
hair.
When the redhead stepped out the
train door on to the front 'platform,
the man squatting over the coupling•
from the platform of the baggage car
athead looked up.
"Howdy," the red -head drawled.
"Whadda' you want?" the'man ask-
ed.
"Air," was the brief reply. The red-
head lou ed his even six feet of
height a inst the end of the car.
Slowly, t'h man came erect, .his fig-
ure squat 'arfii shadowy in the light of
the turned -down lamp.
"I been watchin' you in there for
the last ten minutes," the red -head
said. "You was emokin'. You lit
that cigarette eight times when it was
still goin'. Who's out there?"
He jerked his head out toward the
night. A shot rang out from inside
the coach.
Thetrain gave a sudden buck as
the brakes screamed on. ' The red-
head felt himself lifted from the wall.
His hands streaked to his guns, swiv-
eled up ane exploded. The man on
the bagga' c car platform slid abrupt-
ly to a sitting position, coughing pulp-
ify, as the red -head crashed into the
end of the baggage car. He took an
accurate snap shot at the lantern,
then opened the door to the baggage
car. -
"Blow them lights! It's a stick-up,"
he yelled, then swung himself to the
top of the car.
The train had come to a stop
now, almost at the top of the grade.
The red-thead could see horsemen a-
head in the glare of the , engine
light. He crouch d low on the roof,
raced forward, leaped to the tender,
then crouched down.
"Let 'em know we're here," a voice
growled from the ground beside the
baggage car.
"You fool. Wait till ,we're inside.
Tney'll slam that door shut on us and
we can't blow 'em out. Wait'ill Snipe
.and Chinch cut that passenger coach
off."
Stealthily, the red -head made his
way over the coal until he could see
down into the engine cab. Two
masked men stood facing the fireman
and engineer, who diad been backed
into one window seat. , The red -head's
action was quick.
He slid down the heaped coal, both
gnus roaring at the two bandits sil-
houetted against the fire -door. One
man pitched his length on the floor
plates and the other made a wild,
crippled dash for the steps. The red-
head heard him[ sprawl on the ground,.
"Get grin'!" the red -head command-
ed briefly:
The engineer leaned against a lev-
er which brought forth a rumbling
"Blow them lights! It's a stick-up!" he yelled.
but did not make a move. Finney
cashed, in a few ohips, budded' to the
gambler and. left, 'f'ollowed by his oom-
pani o Pro.
The gambler nodded also, then
lounged back in his seat. He heard
the door behind him open, and idly
guessed that the match -lighting
smoker had gone out. The door
had not swung shut five seconds, be-
fore one of the sleeping cowpunch-
ers, a six-foot red -head, the gambler
noticed, stood up, wide awake, step-
ped over his partner and went out
also with a kind of tense baste.
The gambler's companion moved to
the seat facing the gambler and pick-
ed 1112 folie' wok&
Pu .1;ttr
shudder. The red -head dragged the
limp form of the ba,ndi•t from in front
of the fire -door and dumped him off
the brain•.
There was a running fire as the
train labored into motion, most of it
directed toward the engine. Glass
tinkled down to the floor and. the en-
gineer swore wrathfully. The red-
head sent sent a couple of shots into the
night; then looked ahead as he did
so for the top of the grade, which was
close now.
As they nosed over it, he turned
ani faced the engine crew. The train
was gathering speed steadily as it
swung over the top.
"-What dio .you Melton, is ork be'
na,
hind?"
'They're all there. I can tell by
the way, she pulls," the engineer said.
Hemopped the sweat from his brow
with a grimy handkerchief. "There
was three mine payrolls in that bag-
gage car safe, and if they don't give
you pre of 'em, son; then—"
The sentence. went unfinished, for
the red -head had waved carelessly
and disappeared over the tender.
He made .his way over the cat -walk
atop the baggage car to the far end,
swung down upon the platform. The
door to the baggage car was open and
he lounged in.
' "That's the ranny," somd one said
from a group collected around a man
lying on the floor. One lamp flicker-
ed dimly overhead,
Hoagy Henshaw turned around.
"How'd you know this stickup was
oomin/ off?"
"I was tryln' to sleep and I seen
that jasper in the seat ahead of me
signalin' out into the night with
matdhes., -He got up. I followed
him out. He was tryin' to uncouple
the car."
"Well, he's dead," Hoagy said, "and
nobody saw him do nothin' out of
the way. We got only your word for
it,"
"He's right, Hoagy," the gambler
put in. "I saw the man lighting
matches myself and wondered about
it,"
"All right, Quinn. I'll take your
word for it." He looked at the red-
head: "But I'm goin' to talk to the
train crew firet, before I let you go.
There's somethin' funny about this."
Back in -the passenger coach the
black -haired puncher introduced the
gambler to the red -bead,
"Rosy, tthis is Martin Quinn." To
the gambler he said: "This 'here is
the hero of the train robbery, or the
robber. 1 dunno which. Name's
Rosy Rand."
After shaking hands, they all sat
down in the gambler's seat.
"What was the shot in here,
Dave?" Rand' asked.
"Turner here—" Quinn began.
Suddenly, he stood up and glanced
around the car. "He's gone. ole
hightailed it while we were out of
the car." He explained to the red-
head what the• shooting had been
about.
"Who was he? Ever seen him be-
fore?" Rand asked.
Turner shook his head. "There's
not a stuffed Stetson yet that didn't
think he could choose a gambler on
any grounds of his own inakin',"
Quinn nodded. "That's about it.
I used to know an old-timer who said
if a gambler changes this name once
a month and keeps on the move, he's
got an even .chance of outlivin' a
dumb rustler,"
Turner laughed. "An'd_I've heard
him say it. It was Dipper -Mouth
Hartley, wasn't it?"
"He's the one," Quinn said. "I'd
been led. to believe he was in the
Yuma pen."
"That's where I knew Irim," Turn-
er said briefly.
"Sorry," Quinn said.
He studied the two men before him.
with the acuteness of a man shrewd
in the judgment of men. Turner was
perhhaps ten pounds lighter than Rand,
two inches shorter. But they both
bore the same stamp, that of quiet
men, young, slow in judgment, quick
in action.
It mattered not at all to the gamb-
ler that Turner had been in prison.
A glance at him told Quina- that it
had left 'him untouched.. They were
both young, perhaps twenty-five,
dressed in the soft, oft -washed range
clothes of waist overalls and blue
shirt.

Effective Ways To
Treat Poison Ivy
Of all skin -irritant 'plants, poison
ivy and the related but less frequent-
ly met poison. sumach and the far
western poison oak are the most vir-
ulent. The active principle of poison
ivy is an oil which is present through-
out root, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit
and even to the easily detached hairs.
Tearing or bruising of any part of
the plant liberates the oil to come in
coneact with the exposed parts of the
person touching it. The first sign of
infection is usually a slight itching
followed by a faint blush of the skin.
The itching sensation increases and,
from a few boars to some days, num-
erous minute blisters. or there may
be only one blister, appear. in a
mild infection, there may be no more
than shiny dots upon the skin and
go no further. in other cases, the
blisters eventually burst, to become
irritating, oozing sores from which
contagiofi may spread to other parts.
The sores finally dry up, ftfr¢ning
scabs. A really- severe attack 'hay
upset the health completely for a
time.
Lf the poison ivy oil is suspected
of having reached the skin, immedi-
ate' scrubbing with laundry soap
strong in lye, in tepid water changed
after each latheetng, or running warm
water to carry, away tee poison is a
sensible precaution. If done before
the oil penetrates, the skin, no- other
treatment is usitally necessary. Wash-
inig with alcohol,' kerosene or gasoline
also helps to keep the poisott from
spreading.
Recommended Treatments
Treatments without number have
been proposed• and used, often indie-
critnlnately without regard to their
exact purpose. The treatment for af-
fected parts most widely recommend-
ed in recent years, potassium perm-
anganate, bras- for 1t8 purpose the de-
struction by oxidation of the -poison
itself. The parts are swabbed with
a three per cent. sglution+, made sdme-
what weaker ,if the skin is particular.

Dashboard Day

Rememb+ r
The gentle buggy horse—or spirited
as the case- might have been— ias dis-
appeared, and along withi it has ggone
its concomitant, the harness latore, at
least tante of which every town and
village boasted. Some of them own-
ed life-size wooden effigies of dapple
grays, standing either in the show
window or on the sidewalk; on which
were displayed the latest gadgets in
harness. Within, near the door, hung
buggy whip*, suspended by their.
crackers from a Circular, revolving,
metal rack. They hung because a
smart buggy whip must always stand
erect in the socket; it was a sign of
slovenilines's if it ,drooped. • Gay fly
nets and straw hats for truck horses
with holes for the ears, decorated
walls or posts, and stacks: of colorful
horse blankets and buggy robes were
arrayed on the counters. Here you
bought that new rainproof shield, with
a celluloid window and a slot for ¶be
reins, which buttoned to dashboard,
body, and top, and left the two of
you inside completely protected+ from
the most vigorous rainstorm.
In front of the store was a cast-
iron jockey with a ring in his extend-
ed
xtended band, to which you tied your
horse. This saved you the trouble of
hauling out the hitching weight in
th,e back of the buggy, which you in-
variably used if your horse was, a
"nibbler" and you wanted to keep •him
away from trees. The smartest resi,
deuces in town had various types of
hitching posts, including grinning iron
Negro boys in red caps and yellow
jackets. All the best homes had car
riage blocks to save "my lady" awk-
ward steps:
That was a day when, if you lived
in town, your father and other busi-
nessmen drove home to dinner from
their stores and offices on Main St.
Usually a colored boy drove the phae-
ton downtown about 11.30 and sat
sleeping on the seat till the "boss"
came out to take the reins himself.
In that "horse -an buggy day" most
businessmen wore double watch
chains, with seals; Congress gaiters,
and "Burnsides," and after a hearty
mnd•day meal took an hour's nap while
Dobbin munched oats in tee stable.
Only twenty-five or thirty years ago
when in,otorcars Fere still rarities,

a colt or filly of his own, which he
sometimes helped to break. Pacers

gradually by soap and water. The
commonly used iodine stains even
more. Once blisters have been
formed, rubbing should be carefully
avoided. If cooling substances (bak-
ing soda, boracic acid solution and
such like) are used, no application
should be made while the sores are
oozing, or they may seal over with
a crust and thus aggravate condi-
tions,

ibility- to ivy poisoning and many have
never suffered any ill effects, but this
cannot be taken as full assurance of
immunity. Sooner or later, when
Perspiring freely perhaps, or having
cuts on the skin, one may become a
victim and thenceforth obliged to ex-
ercise more caution. Persons who
are certain they have not been in
contact with poison ivy and declare
that the infection must be air -borne

CAUSE OF CANCER
No definite cause of cancer is
known„ There are some. ,predisposing
catises of the affection- Oneof these
predisposing causes is age. Only 10
per cent. of all cancers occur under
the age of 35. Ninety per cent, of
all 'cases of malignant disease is
found in persons who have passed the
age of p. The latter period is call-
ed the cancer age." The reason for
this is unknown. It probably rests u1
the tendency for control of cells be-
ing less effective in persons of middle
life. Another predisposing cause of
high importance in respect to cancer
is . that a great variety of irritants
may, in a person predisposed to can-
cer, stir up a cancerous growth.
Among the comlmoner irritants
which cause the growth of cancer
are: Tar, soot, which is a form of
tar, certain lubricating oils, tobacco
smoke or the juice of tobacco, another
tar; chemicals such as arsenic, the
effect of strong sunlight, strong_ winks
and dust; of a jagged tooth in the
mouth, dirty teeth, ill-fitting dental
DRIVE ON WEEDS
A determined drive to wipe out
weeds in both country and ,city ie be-
ing inaugurated by the Crops, Seeds
and Weeds Branch of the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture. Educational
meetings which have been attended by
officials, weed inspectors and inter-
ested citizens have been held in every
district of Ontario- Weed inspectors
have been told to be firm in enforc-
ing the Weed Control Act and to use
good judgment in all their dealings
with the public.
However, to be suoceesful, the cam-
paign must have the enthusiastic
backing of every householder and
farmer, officials pointed out. Judging
by the interest displayed and letters
received by the Department of Agri-
culture; weeds will be fighting a los-
ing battle this, year, -with complete
eradication the goal of the Depart-
ment. One neglected patch or plant
this year may Lead to serious infesta-
tion next year. Careless and indiffer-
ent citizens can do much to undo all
the good work of their neighbors in
flghting the weed• men+aee.
A weed inspector needs the assist-
ance of every individual. Give him
your support. Make your community
free of weeds. They are enemies of
agriculture, public health and to the
lucrative tourist business of Ontario.
Weeds have no place in a progressive
community,

be something to be said about the
manner in which one eats one's food. iu
Food that is imperfectly chewed, tak-
en
aken too rapidly, washed down without
proper mixing with the saliva, may
act as an irritant to the digestive -
tract and thus provoke cancer. The
great frequency of, stomach cancer—
one-third of all cancers in man—
seems to indicate that the way food
is used, .may, .have something to do
with the cause of stomach canker,

"Wonder could 1
chew my way out
of here? ...
A NYBODY can take a single snap-
shot—a landscape here, an in-
formal portrait there. But have you
ever tried taking a series, to tell a
complete story of an incident, or to
picture a person more effectively?
Summer activities offer all sorts
of chances for series pictures. Wher-
ever there is fun—on a party, a pic-
nic, a motor trip, an afternoon at
the swimming pool or beach—you
find amusing occurrences which are
best pictured thus. One picture tells
part of the story. Several pictures
"follow through" and tell all of it.
The incidents don't have to be un-
usual. Good "fun" series can be
made out of the cutting of a water-
melon, a small boy[ blowing up a
balloon until it bursts. Try picturing
a child's tea party Inv this fashion—
the small girl playing hostess to her
dolls and pets. Also, try "expres-
sion" snaps of the baby in his out-
door crib.
Sports series are good. For in-
stance, a man catching a fish. Show
him baiting, casting, playing the
fish, landing it, dropping it into the
creel or threading it on the string.
Later on, snap a picture to co nplete
the series—the fish on the table at
home, or the fisherman back at his
office, describing his catch.
The series -picture idea can he ap-
plied in a thousand variations. Se-
ries pictures` have extra "punch,"
because each picture supports and
reinforces the next. A series of five
good expression shots of the baby—
laughing? crying, "crowing," ques-
tioning, shouting, and so on—is bet•
ter than five unrelated shots.
One picture may be just a para-
graph, but 't series is a complete
short story. Try such picture stories
this summer. Nature stories are
good, if you have a focusing camera,
or a portrait attachment for 3ro1i1'
