FOURTH INSTALMENT
SYNOPSIS
Barry Haveril--;leaves his Texas
home to see true t country, meets a
man wihlo hats just been shot -who
turns out to be ,a cousin of his,
Jesse Conroy. Barry helps take
care of his wounds and Jesse
gives Barry ibis gun, a very un-
us'tral one. When they, part Bar-
ry leaves for home but finds the
family is no longer there. When
the is leaving he suddenly comes
across a dead man who turns out,
to be his brother Robert. Barry
starts searching far the murder-
er and goes into the mountains
to find gold to use. tor continuing
his search. He finds a good
spot, gets gold and groes to Tylers-•
viLie to get money for it, There
he meets Judge Blue and his
d'a'ughter Lucy, who help him to
get $450 for this gold. Judge
Blue also teals him that the gun
Jessie gave him is the gun of a
mer•dered known as the Laredo
Kind. The Judge invites Derry up
to visit him and there Barry dds-
oovers tube horse' and saddle
which was, stolen from his bro-
ther Robert when 'he was killed.
He finds out that it belongs to a
cowboy who will return that
might. He waits outside the
'stable and finally a rider comes
up who turns o'ut to be Jesse Con -
Tory.
•
Jesse Conroy whirled, as swift as a
cat, and crouched and whipped out
the gun riding, loosely in its holster.
"Oh, itt's you, Sun'do'wn!" said Jes-
se. His band was lowered. Mere
was an irritable edge to has voice:
"Yule made eve "jump purty near out'n
my boobs, Cousin Barry. Y'want to
look out, scamin' Poles like that,
leos'n one starts shootin' before he
thinks.", ,
"Why should you, 'start 'shootin'g,
Cousin Jesse?" asked Barry.
Jesse laughed and at Last slipped
his gun back pinto its place.
"Want to sell that black horse
you left here last night, Cousin
Jesse?"
"What's come over yuth? I thought
yuh didn't go in for hosses yurhse'f,
li kin' them Long lai'gs better."
"That's a real nice 'horse," said
Barry.
"What's on yore mind, Cousin
Barry?" said Jesse, and_ again his
voice was edged.
"That saddle, too," said Barry. "I
was looking at it tikes evening. The
fancy Mexico one. Where'd you
happen to get that saddle, Cousin
Jesse?"
Jesse ansrwered in an off -hand way,
"That saddle? It's one I picked up
down to Laredo one time. Why?"
"Wlhen?" asked Barry. "You been
down to Laredo sdnrc.e I saw you?
Lt's quite, a ways from ,here."
Jease's answer hung fire scarcely
a noticeable lest -ant. "It's one o' my
of saddles; I've l.utid it two -three
year.'.
"You ,lie, Cousin Jesse," ea i d
Barry- steadily, and pulled his six-
gun out of its holster. "That was
Tex Hu'mphr•ey's saddle; so was
that black Tex's; and you killed my
brother Robert to get them both. Kill-
ed, him bike a dog just for a horse
and saddle. Now, if you think you've
got any more killing to do—"
A man standing close behind Bar-
ry brought a Colt revolver down bru-
tally on Barry',s head, and the boy
slumped down.
A commanding voice said: "Pocket
your gun, Laredo! And put out that
'damned light. Quick about it!"
"I'm damned!" muttered. Jesse Con-
roy, Slowly he obeyed botib orders.
Then through the sudden dark his
voice ,came quietly, "What's the
game this time, Judge?"
"So you killed young Haveril's
brother, did you? Just for a !horse
and saddle!"
"Yuh're a fine one to talk," sneer-
ed Jesse. "Well, l'.m not sayin' whe-
ther I killed, young Haveril's'brotdher
or not, but I'd shore shot 'young Hav-
eril deed if yuh hadn't knocked him
out t]he minute yob d'id-"
Mg to it. And it's my pressing af-
fair to fled out Where he got it."
Jesse whistled softly. "A.n' I
might harve killed him before yuh
fount out!" • Then eager and alert,
he added, "But Judge, he'll be
lookin.' up has' folks, across to yore
new ranch; au' she'll be tellin' the
crowd all be. knows--"
"He won't be seeing anybody but
me for a while," paid' tike Judge.
"I'm, keeping ham sbut away. In
the morning, if he's feeling like
trravelling, 1']1 put hem on a horse,
tail shim we're headed for the ranch,
'and handl him over to you. And
ylou'L1 be over at the 'sthack in Encina
Cavern You and I will work this
together, Kick And when we've won
it, I'm paying you off, and you're
handing back to me what's mdne—
antd after that if we 'ever meet up
again—well, fill your hand, Kid, that's
all."
Jesse la,;ug]hed tauntingly. "Tthere's
one more thong, Judge," he said. "I
got a good look at the girl the other
day. When I band yuh back what's
yore'n, y'outh're godn to hand me th.e
girl along with the res' o' my pay. I
got a hankuertinf—Judge, I'd marry
her even!"
For a while it was very still there
at the stable. After a while the Judge
drew a long breath. He said in a
vtoice which was not quite so steady:
"You're getting a swell -head, Lare-
do. It's a disease that's 'sometimes
'fatal. Better slow down."
But the Laredo Kid, reckless and
arrogant young devil, mocked him
drawlingly.
"Better be on your way, Laredo.
And if you're• not just trying to be
funny—marry her? Wel], we'll see
later. Tomorrow evening early I'll
be at Encina Canon, and young Hav-
eril will be with me. We'll talk.
And one thing more: better get rid
of that horse and saddle tonighat."
"I'm on any way in two shakes,"
returned the rather. "Drag your man
off and sthut the door so's I can
have a light. Mebbe yuh'd better
shine a light on him now to make
shore whether he ain't play -in' pos-
sum."
"I've had a hand on him all the
tame," said t]he Judge. "H•e's out
'cold- Get going, Kid. Y adios."
Barry regained c'o'nsciousness lying
fully dressed on. the bed which eari-
ier he lied been adverse to mussing.
There was a cold wet towel on his
head and the Judge stood over frim.
"Well, young Haveril," he said.
"Alive, are you?"
"What happened?" said Barry, 'can -
fused.
"I got up' for a drink of water,"
said the Judge, "and thought I saw
someone prowling outside under my
window. I went out to see about it
and was 'just is time to see you
standing in the stable door talking
to somebody; and just when rt
looked! like shooting, some other
fellow jumped up behind you and
knocked you out cold with a club.
Then they were off like a shot, the
two of there'. 'Whrat was it all about?"
"The man in the barn, with the
Lantern, -I -know ham, Judge?"
"Can't say that I do," answered
the Judge. "He was by 'Mere a
Month or so ago, looking for work.
That's, all I kno'w about him: Who
is he?"
"I don't. know much about him
myself. I met up with him not long
ago; ire told me his name was Jesse
Conroy and we sort of figured out
we were relations."
"What were you two getting ready
to fight about?"
Barry shut his eyes and lay still a
moment. Without opening them he
said, "My 'head hurts, Judge; it's
hard thinking straight,"
The Judge nodded understanding-
ly.
It was nearly an hour later when
Barry had his second visitor, A slim
white figure bent over him. It was
Lucy in. a long nightgown with
something thrown o'ver her shoulders.
As hie reared up on his elbow she
said, "Sh!" almost at his ear.
Incoherent at first, her rushing
tvordts only perplexed him anew.
But he caught, "Go! Oh, go quick -
"He's out cold," said the Judge.
"No," said} the Judge. "No. You
hear me, Laredo? I've got plans of
my own for him."
Yes?" said Jame •sand sounded'
frankly mystified,. "Want to make
me lauhged Judge Blue wastin time
ever this kid? What in hell's he got
that I overlooked?" He 'ended peer-
irvgly. "He ain't, a prince in disguise
or s'omtetthin',' is he?"
"Some des, Laredo," said t h e
Jades more quietly, yet .in just s,
deadly and cold a voice, "we'll may-
be cut loose and kill each Other.

he told Barry that Zae'bery Blount
had taken Barry's sister out of town
—for Lucy herself hada seen Zaohary
and. the Judge together going into a
store just 'before the Judge joined her
to drive (home. And she bad seen
and overheard what occurred atthe
stable.
"'Het—,tjtart mal!r—your cousin, he

'fearfully. And then site told the rest
of it, and enrded, with her frantic
tplea: "You'll go! Oh, Barry, I'm

—Oh, Barry! He want me!"
Barry said, "I won't go without
you!"
"You must! You 'neat, Barry !
And quick!"
"Then I'l'l come. back—"
"Listen, I sometimes ride back on
the mountain to look at the sunset.
There's a trail up to Lookout; it's
a plateau bethdnd the house with the
cliffs cutting across it. Meet me
there, , Barry—at sunset—"
"Tamonnow ?"
"N-ot. Not so soon, They 'may be
watcohing for you. In three days,
Barry?"
The eventing appointed for the
meeting with Lucy founds ham at
Lookout Point, high on the mountain
side above the Judge's fine house,
hidden in a brushy thicket from
which he could watch the steep zig-
zag trail.
Dark came and there was no sign
of Lucy. He waited an hour, then
withdrew higher .up into the moun-
tains. He came back each sunset
time; on his third coming he saw
something which had been bete all
the Lime, waiting far him, passing
unnoticed.
Dear

Dear Barry, if anybody finds this
it wiI1 be you, .because no one ev-
er comes up 'here. I am writing
this the very next day after you
left. 1 am to be taken away this
very dray—and I don't know why
and I dealt even know where! Oh,
I hope you are • alt right! And,
Barry, I do wish I had gone with
you. You will come .back when it
is safe, won't you? P11 ride up
and leave this now—I'm 'telling
tern I'm going to say goodbye for
a while to Lookout. I'll put it half
under a stone and I hope you find
it.—Good-bye, Barry.
LUCY
"Tomorrow," meditated Barry,
mak-ing his swift silent way through
a bit of forestland where he crossed
a tiny u'pla-nd valley toward his new
thuid'eaut, "I'll go see my folks. I've
got to tell them about Robert."
As he passed tbrough a small
open glade a shot rang out and a
bullett cleft the air, close to his ear,
and with it came an exultant shout:
"Got you, Laredo! Got you, you
dog!"
Barry • leaped a,s. a deer leaps,
'clear of the opening among the
trees and into a patch of brush, and
leaping fell, and rolled. and brought
up crouching- bis own gun in 'hand,
in a shadowy gully. A second shot
and a third whizzed over his tread.
"Hold, it, or I''ll burn you down!
I'm not Laredo. You've got the
wrong main!"
There was a silence out of which
finally a puzzled voice, sounding dis-
gruntled, muttered:
"Not Laredo, huh? Who says so?
You'd say so if yuh was Laredo."
"Don't be a fool," grunted Barry.
"If you know Laredo, you know his
voice, don't you?"
Reluctantly the voice tale:rated.:
"Yuh don't sound Like him, that's
a fact. But yuh looked sort of like
he Joest— And what yuh prowli'eg
around like this for if yuh ain't
•Laredo?"
"You 'make me slick," snorted'
Barry. "You came mighty close
knocking me over, you jackass."'

Razed Eyebrows
Some day, perhaps soote, women
will look in ttheir mirrors and give
up the childish wish to look like
someone else, someone who repres-
ents glamour --hateful, pitiful word!
—and, glitter and unreality. The first
step will be to let their eyebrows
grow again. They will be surprised
and pleased to find bow much more

like sad, comic imitations of Holly-
wood bright lights. With the eye-
brows in evidence, eyes will seem
deeper and Harker, thick noses less
prominent, big mouths in better pro-
portion, high cheekbones will recede
a bit, and the whole countenance will
recover its lost balance. For the eye-
brow is part of the natural destgl'i of
the faceand when the eyebrow' is
altered the design goes teo—the de-
sign of the individual.

Hopeless Cases
''Doctor, we want you to select
from a foundling asylum a boy and
a girl whom we can adopt. We do
not -want attnacti"ve children, who get
opportunitiei3 for adoption. We in
sist 'on leaving the • most hopeless
cases! We will give these children
the benefit of living in the country,
witch healthful 'surroundings."
This seemed the strangest commis-
sion ever given a medical mail, yet I
recognized the integrity of my visi-
tors. They were Mr. and Mrs. Robt,
Erskine Beall who, ' having married
late in lite, realized it would be im-
possible for them to have tehildren
yet believer that they owed childhood
a debt.
I selected a boy and a girl; each
was cross-eyed, bow -]egged, rickety,
and had other congenital deformities.
I feared thta't when Lord and Lady
Bountiful saw them they would aban-
don their plan, but I was mistaken.
They legally adopted both children.
Specialists were called in; eyes were
straightened, adenoids and tonsils
removed, and a harelip on one of
them made 'almost normal.
Sopleased were the parents with
the results that after two years I was
again invited to .select two children;
and, later, still two More. I have
watched the growth of the six chil-
dren year by year,' and the changes
wrought in them are beyond belief.
The last time I -met the Beales, I
asked if they would soon be ready
for two more babies.
"Very soon now," was Mrs. Beall's
prompt reply, "but this time we want
two black babies." '

In order to play "Rosemary" some
years ago, John Drew shaved off his
moustache, thereby greatly, changing
'his appearance. Shortly afterward
he met Max Beerbohm in the lobby
of a Uondon theater, but could not

Mr. I3eerbohm's memory was better.
"Oh, Mr. Drew," he said, "1'm afraid

The full ;history of the desperate

To the Quern Mother it meant not
only the loss of her favorite sma—
ller pride and joy—but the destruc-
tion of the ' prestige of monarchy
whiell. ste had' - worked so had ,for so
many years to build. When Prime
Minister Baldwin came to her with
the final news of the abdication, he
found a broken woman. With chok-
ing voioe, she dictated her message
to the nation. England should not
judge her "beloved son' too harshly
and should remember and be thaaakfte
for the great services he had done
his country.
But Queen Mary did not lay down
her burden. If ever the monarchy
needed a strong 'hand on the helm,
it was now. And it was she who
steered the ship again into clear wa-
ter. Outwardly calm es ever, she at-
tended to her Christmas shopping, 1
demonstrating to all of London that
business would go on as usual. Im-
mediately she took Queen Elizabeth
in hand, showed her the routine of
the Palace, instructed her in the hun-
dreds of little thing's that the mis-

BETTER CHILD PICTURES
date>i:'.
Your child pictures will.be more interesting if they "tell a story." Show
the child busy at something—such as this repair job. And don't stand
too far back.
VIRTUALLY every parent takes
snapshots of the children—and
would like to take better ones. It's
not difficult to take a good child pie-
, ture, and there's no subject more
appealing. But most of these pic-
tures can be made still better, if at-
tention is paid to a few common,
easily -corrected faults.
The commonest faults are: lack
of "story" interest, wrong choice of
background or setting, subject too
far from camera, and movement
which blurs the picture.
Almost any child snapshot will be
better if it "tells a story." Simply
give the child something to do-
dress a doll, draw a picture, fix a toy
wagon wheel, blow soap bubbles.
Such activity adds interest to the
picture—and also makes picture tak-
ing more interesting for the child.
Give a small baby a rattle or bright -
colored object to play with—it will
arouse his interest, and you will get
livelier, more expressive pictures.
Be careful in choosing back-
grounds. Look beyond the subject—
your camera lens will. Avoid a back-
ground that has a definite, obtrusive
pattern, such as the side of a clap -
boarded horse. And try for good conte
trast with the subject. For e7tample,
if the child is wearing light -Colored
clothes, a dark hedge may make a
good background. A hilltop with the
child against a sky background is
also good.
Examine the child snapshots you
have taken. If the subject appears
too small in most of them, you're
taking pictures at too great a dis-
tance. See if you can't get closer. It's
easy with a focusing camera, or an
inexpensive box or•folding type that
has • t "two-point" focus setting. A
portrait attachment is also useful
for "close-ups" at three and one-half
feetl.or even a bit nearer. You need
not fear cutting off part of your sub-
ject, provided you locate the subject
accurately 4n the view finder and
then do not move the camera when
making the exposure.
Movement—either of camera or
subject—blurs the picture. Take'
care to hold the camera still at the
moment you snap the shutter. And,
with a box camera, pick a time when
the subject is not moving rapidly.
If you have a finer camera, use a
shutter speed of 1/100 second or
faster, with a correspondingly larger
lens opening.
Watch these points in taking rYiliI4,
snapshots. They're all tsinilliet`�&'
trouble -and they'll lii8ure,.yott
ter pictures.
