Lucy said quickly,, "What do you
suppose it is • that they have hidden
out here, Sarboe and Barry Haveril,
that Tem lie so anxious' to get?"
"I didn't know that part of it,",.said
Jake. "Well, shucks, it don't make
no difference to us-, does it, Lucy?"
"I'd like to know. Wouldn't you
like to know, Jake? Before Torn
get here?"
Jake laughed. "You little .devil
you, Lucy!"
"I think I can find out something,
Jake! I already have an inkling. But
we'll have to hurry. Leta see. You
call your cowboy back over here
where he can't hear. Let me have
five minutes - I'll bet you, Jake
Goodlen that I can find out!"
"But you look a -here," he began.
"0-h, they can't 'hurt me!" cried
Lucy, jumping up. She laughed and
clapped her hands down on the butt'
of Barry's gun. "They're teed up,
and look at me wearing this!"
She called the wetpon to his at-
tention in haste, rather than have
him begin to think about it later.
"Wella' seat Jake slowly, "it won't
'do any harm for you to find out
shat you can. I'll bet they don't op-
en their traps But go 'head."
"Hey there, Bunce!" called Jake.
"Come here."
Bunce grunted and got up.
"Squat, Eunice. We'll chin. Miss
Lucy's steppin' over to ride herd
on them two hombres a minute or
two."
Barry watched her wonderingly. ,
She came- on until she stood over
him, looking down into his upturned
face. At first she must say some-
thing for Jake Gcodhy to .hear. His
suspicions might wake at any mo-
ment.
She fond it easiest of all to
laugh. -
"So it's funny, is it?" said Barry
savagely.
"You were so stupid," cried out
the girl, stil laughing. Then she
grew suddenly still, then said in a
queer stiff sort of voice, "Tom
Haveril will be here soon, Mr.
Barry Haveril-or is Laredo the
name? And when he comes-"
"When, be comes'?" said Barry, and
Pulled his' legs up under aim, as
though' to ease cramped museles.
Lucy stepped a little closer. She
w as just shaping her lips to whisper
hurriedly: "Barry, I'm trying to help
you!" But she didn't whisper a
syllable. There was no time Haveril
came up standing like a snake cona
ing out of a coil. The two strong
hand's she thought so securely tied
behind him flashed' out and caught
her up, swinging 'her clear from the
ground. At a single bound, he was
around behind the big rock, and she
was huddled at his feet, and his gun
was again in his hand
At the same instant she saw
Sarboe surge sideways and launch
Eunice started again; this time
Goodby bam e fumbling along.
Barry, watching efim narrowly, saw
him stumble slightly. Ahnia,st too
swiftly for the eye to follow his
movement the next minute he sprang
nimbly to. one side, snapped out his
gun, and started shooting over
Dunce's shoulder.
Bunco yelled out in rage and' ter-
ror, then, jerked out eels gun and
started blazing away at all that he
could see of the man behind the
-boulder. But poor Bunce never had
a chance; • Barry's first answering
shot broke a leg for him and he fell
lurehingly. Jalte fired again, but his
aim was- disturbed' and Isle shot -went
wild. He was letting the third- shot
off when he, like Bunce, went down',
shot throtigh the body.
Goodby stirred -slightly, then lay
still, again. Barry came forward,
gathered up both men's weapons,
then asked curtly, of Eunice, "Where
are you hurt?"
"I got it in the leg," groaned the
cowboy.
Barry called to Sarboe: "Come
along here, Sarboe. And bring Mrs.
Tom Haveril with 'you."
So Saebloe canee and Lucy with
him, one of her wrists clenched tight
in his, hand, her face white; her eyes
looking enormlous and brilliant in
the firelight.
"Is he •dead?" she whispered, look-
ing down on Jake Goodby.
"If he is, he asked for ft," snapped
Barry. "I'm going for the horses,"
he said and hurried off, merely add-
ing over his shoulder, "Watch both
of 'em Sarbod; and don't turn that
girl 'dose."
Barry returned hurriedly with the
horses, his and Sarbee's and the one
-that Lucy had ridden here, the
Judge's. Also he W.:aught something
else, but they did not see it, the flat
steel box whichthe had' unearthed
from its hiding place and tied to his
saddle strings.
"You are not going to take me
with you!" cried Lucy as soon as
she saw her horse, and' began strug-
gling with Sarboe. "Barry Haveril,
you have no right!"
"I don't know what to do with
you," 'he said heavily, staring at -her.
"Then let me go! Oh, „please,
Barry!"
They rode for hours, so "long and
up and down such trailless slopes
that Lucy was drooping wearily in
the saddle long before Barry called
a halt. And when at last .they
stopped and she slid down stiffly,
she had not the vaguest idea of her
whereabouts. Barry 'h a d brought
them to his old, first cabin, or rather
into the grove just behind it.
"Barry," said Lucy faintly.
"Well?" be demanded coldly, star-
ing up at her,
"I had planned- You see, I couldn't
guess you had' gotten the ropes off-"
"Sarboe's work. They'd had him
tied' an hour; he worked free, got
me free." • •
"Would you believe me," asked
Lucy, 'and braced herself and un-
consciously hardened her voice, "if
I told you that I was coming to try
to get you free?"
"No," he said promptly. .,"Maybe
I've just got, to knowing you tonight,
Lady Laredo! I saw you on that
ldg with Jake Goodby-"
Suddenly, without finishing What
he was' going to say, he moved off
through the grove, lost to, them be-
fore he had taken a doyen of his
long strides. He saw the cabin look-
ing dark among the trees, its rear
wall 'almost indistinguishable in the
shadows.
Under the closed door he saw a
thin thread of wan light.
He stepped softly to the door and
lifted the latch slowly, Then he be-
gan shoving the door open. Opened
an inch it gave him a glimpse of the
cabin's interior.
He could see the foot of the bunk
against the wall; he opened the door
another inch and saw a man's
booted feet. Some fellow asleep, just
as he had thought likely -
He threw the door wide open.' The
man 'on the bunk did not stir. Barry
stepped into the room, making sure
The man, oking ready to drop_
dead, laughed instead, Then he said
thickly speaking with difficulty; "So

es, it was, Cousin. Jesse.
It was Jesse Conroy,
It was the Laredo Kid.
And it was not Tom ,Haveril,
To Lucy; beginning to shiver with
oold as the night wind stiffened and
as an utter weariness bore her down
it seemed that Barry Haveril was
never coming back:
Theta at long last Barry stepped
out of the shadows.
"There's water right over there,
Sarboe," he said. "Give the horses
a drink, then unsaddle and pet them
on their tie ropes the other side the
water hole. Then come alotig to the
cabin."
When' be spoke his voice was
gentler than when he had stalked
away from her.
"Tired out, Lucy? Well, it's been
hell for you, hasn't it? Want to
walk a hundred yards to shelter and
sleep?"
"I want to lie here and, die," said
Lucy ,miserably. "I bate everything;
I hate living. Leave me alone."
So he gathered her up into his
arms. She struck et him but he did
net seem to notice, and certainly did'
not mind.
When she saw the bunk and the
man on it, a white-faced, dead look-
ing man, all the peacefulness of
Barry's eradiate arms and, of this
quiet, simple place were wiped out
by fresh stark reality.
"That's why I had to keep you
Waiting," said Barry. "I thought for
a while he was dying. I had to find
where he waseleurt and bandage him
up. I'm not going to let him die."
Lucy looked at Barry, no longer
heavy -eyed but with excited interest.
He said, talking distinctly and slow-
ly and somehow altogether like a
man at the end of his tether:
"He is Jesse Conroy. The Laredo
Kid. And he isn't Tom Haveril-
and' I've been a tool."
"You shot him?"
"I wish I had," he Muttered
somberly. "No. I found him like
that."
"Theta-"
"Haven't I told you already that
I've been a fool? He and Tom
Haveril were as alike as two shells
out of the same gun, except for
Tom's little devil -beard. And except
that Tom talks different- Not his
voice, just his way of saying things.
I thought he'd changed with three
years, that was all. Well, I was
wrong."
"Didn't I tell you all along that
you were wrong?" she exulted. But,
about to speak, she fell silent,
"If it wasn't so late, and you so
tired," he said. "I'd take you right
,back where I got you, back to Torn
Haveril. We'll have to do the best
we can for tonight."
She looked fearfully at the man
on the bunk. "He is re)1 dies He
looks like--"
"No. I tell you! I won't let him
die! Not now. I've been looking
for that man for three years. ' I've
sworn I'd kill him if I ever did
another thing,"
"Why 'don't you k -ill him now'?"
she said bitterly. "It would be F 0
easy! He's half dead anehow. If
you're so fond of killing, what are
you waiting for? You'll never have
a better chance-"
He glared at her, then muttered
something under his breath and
went out.
When he came back Sarboe came
with him, and both men were carry-
ing armfuls of pine tips for her com-
fort.
Sarboe's oyes flashed from the
gaunt, palsied form on the bunk to
Barry, demanding explartations.
Barry's answer was a mere: "1
daft know. I found him like that.
He's had a bullet through him."

Farm Incomes
Likely Higher
"The extent of the economic evolu-
tion -temporary though it may be -
that the present international strug-
gle will bring about is a matter of
pure speculation," declared Hon. P.
M. Dewan, Ontario Minister of Agri-
culture in an address at the Canadian
National Exhibition at Toronto a few
days after his return from Great Bri-
tain where he scanned prospective
markets for ()Mario farm products.
"If we may judge tram the experi-
ences of the last war and the trend
of the past few days, we may look
for higher prices. Naturally it will
not all be gain for the farmer. High -
ed prices he will no -doubt obtain, but
higher wages and, higher purchase va-
lues will confront him. There is.ev-
ery likelihood that this net income
Will expand. That these higher re-
turns should be brought about be-
cause of a war of nations in which
we are 'vitally concerned is not the
happiest thought. We must, however,
face conditions as they exist in a
practical common-sense way."
"Recent developments naturally
cause us to fix our ey a upon Great
Britain as an enlarged market for
our surplus farm commodities. From
my own observations recently made,
I would say that whether in peace or
in svar, we should always look to Bri-
tain as our 'one secure and lasting
market for beef, bacon, live stock,
,!reseed poultry, Cheddar cheese, can-
ned goods, honey and tobacco leaf."
"In 'saying this, I am not un'd'eresti-
mating by any means the value of
nearer markets such as that of the
United States. But, we should never
fail to keep a grasp, and indeed a
Very firm grasp, of the -Brit ish mar-
ket for these commodities of which
we have an exportable surplus and
for which in Great Britain there is a
demand.
"Sacrifides may also have to be
made. If the war is a long one, in-
ternational appeals may be made to
stress production of certain farm
crops. I am confident that all ap-
peals of a Provincial or National
character in the uncertain days that
lie before us will be loyally respond
ed to by our Ontario farmers. The
British people are worthy of it."
"Efficiency in farm operations and
co-operation in state demands consti-
tute a matter of duty to ourselves
and to the Empire. I know that On-
tario farmers will not. be lacking,"
concluded Mr. Dewan.
Fall vs. Spring
Ploughing
The season- of the year when the
land is pfeughed in) preparation for
succeeding craps often has a., direct
beating on the Tielde secured.
An experiment was conducted at
the Dominion Experimental Farm at
Nappan, N. S., "over a period of 15
years comparing various methods' of
preparing sod land for sunflowers,
states S. A. Hilton, Senior Assistant
at the Farm.
The treatments compared and the
average yields' secured per acre were
as follows':
1. Ploughing in August and top
working, 16.1 tons.
2. Ploughing in August, top work-
ing, reploughing in the spring, 16.0
tons.
3. Ploughing late in- the fall (after
October 15th), 15.5 tons.
4. Ploughing in, the spring, 14.8
tons.
Weather conditions are a definite
factor in crop production, and may
influence yields under certain condi-
tions to a greater extent than cultur-
al methods. However, in eleven of
the fifteen years that this experiment
was conducted, spring ploughing gave
the lowest or second lowest yield of
any treatment. August ploughing,
followed by top working, proved to be
the moat economical practice, for not
only did it increase the yield by 1.3
tons per acre, but it permitted the
control of such weeds as couch grass
and spurrey that is not possible on
late fall or spring ploughed areas
without a large amount of hand labor.
Ploughing twice did not prove to be
economical in the production of sun-
flowers for ensilage.
Further experiments are now under
way to determine the most satisfac-
tory method of sod land preparation
for corn.

A subject such as this will make a good "action sequence" -a series of
pictures showing the complete toss, step by step. Pose your subject in
"slow motion," and it's easy.
A CTION shooting is one of the
"A most interesting phases of ama-
teur photography -and good action
pictures can be obtained with any
camera, if you know how.
To "stop" true fast action, and
get sharp pictures, you need a fast
shutter -one that can be adjusted
to 1/400 or 1/500 second. Such a
camera is a wise investment if you
intend to do much shooting of un-
posed action subjects -you simply
set the shutter for top,speed, adjust
the lens opening for correct expos-
ure at that speed, and fire away.
With slower cameras, however,
you can still get good action plc -
.tures if you pose your subject in
slow motion. Let him go through the
natural motions of the sport -golf,
tennis, or whatever you choose -but
have him move as slowly as possible.
Then shoot when the action looks
most effective.
This trick will work for box cam-
eras, as well as the many excellent
folding cameras whose shutters ate
just no higher than 1/100 second.
And it is marvelously effective if
,well done, the -pictures retaining a
genuine appearance ot fast actiOn.
Interesting action "sequences"
can be made in the manner just de-
scribed. For example, a series of
a young woman tossing a beach ball.
Two or three shots of the swing,
each at a different point; a fourth
with the ball barely supported by
her finger tips; a fifth with her arms
fully extended and the ball out of the
picture. Such a sequence is easily
obtained if the subject goes through
the actioh very slowly several times,
-and it is surprisingly effective
when the pictures are mounted in
proper order in your album.
In all action shooting, take care
not to become excited, or you may
press the shutter release too jerkily
-moving the camera and blurring
the shot. When taking a posed -ac-
tion shot, of a subject that will stay
in one j)lace, it's often text* idea.
to put the camera on a tripod or•
some other firm support.
Try your hand is action Shots -
including a few sequences such as
that outlined above. It's interesting
photography -and good, litrel3r shotm
