Barry is befriended by Judge Blue and his daughter, Lucy. The Judge turns out to be a friend of Laredo's and a bad ac- tor. Barry escapes, however, and meets an old man named Tim- berline, who also iia gunning for the Laredo Kid. After several years of searching, Barry returns to Judge BIue's house, where he meets a man called Tom Haverii whom he accuses of being his cousin, Jesse, in disguise. Barry becomes convinced of this later and they have a gun battle, both getting hurt. Recovered, Barry discovers ,Tom Haveril has mar- ried Lucy whom he loves_ Barry kidnaps Lucy, and after a gun bat - tie with Haveril's men,• takes her to his' cabin in the mountains_ Therehe finds the real Laredo Kid wiounded and dying. Sarboe had brought in a small pack of food_ Lucy wouldn't eat; Barry merely shook hie head at it. So Sarboe ate a few bites alone and lay drown in a corner beyond. the fireplace and went to sleep_ Lucy, on her elbows, looked at Barry brooding by the ehiuwiey. "There was something you were going to tell me," she reminded him. He looked at her frankly. Then: "It's late and' you're done in. Better go 'to sleep„hadn't you?" "Sleep! Without knowing what it was that you said you could explain! You said I wasn't Lucy Blue at. ally-" "I know how you feel." His own mind had beengroping; there were questions he wanted aniawered before he could think of eleep- His somber eyes trailed back' to the man; on the bunk; for a time he forgot Lucy and his promise to tell her what be could of the amazing news concerning herself. "If there was a single word of truth in what you told me-" said. Lucy_ ' He looked at her absently, then nodded and went ouL Returning he brought the flat steel box with hint. She was all eagerness at his elbow as he opened the box,, "Why," she gasped, seeing the hundreds of pictures. "They are all of me! I know them; papa - the Judge - wised -to take one of me every Sunday almost!'" "Ever strike you as a funny tiring to do?" he asked. "No. Well, it does seem sort of queer, but you see I've always been used to IL" "They're alit dated on the backs," said Barry. The last picture doesn't look much like the first, does it? But when you take .them straight th.r.oug.h, you can see it's the same you, can't you?" "Of course," said Lucy, and looked at him with a puzzled frown_ "But I don't hildeerstand-" "Here's something else. It was in the box when I gat it; I! guess it's been 'there always, for a dcuen.years. It's an old newspaper. The Laredo Blade," He opened' it for her carefully; from' years of being folded it split along the creases. It was a small, two sheet affair; banner headlines across the first page had to do with a crime the enormity of which had horrified the come:tun sty not unused to violence. Briefly, this was the gist of the newspaper article: Colonel Dave Hamilton, hit wife and three other members of his household had been shot to death. The Colonel, a newcomer to Laredo, but already immensely popular, had arrived with his family ftom Vir- ginia, intending to buy a vast hold- ing hereabouts and make this his home. He had brought with him a large sums of money in cash. There murdered. But her tiny body was never found. "Yes," said Barry. "Doesn't look much "like you now, does it? But it's the same little girl that you were in these first pictures the Judge took. Going straight through the pack ---wen, you've got' pretty good proof, proof enough for any jury on earth, that ifyou're Lucy Anybody, you're Lucy Hamilton, and' not Lucy Blue!" "The little girl --you, of course - must have been carried off by the man or men who kiIIed her parents." "But why?" demanded Lucy. "She was the ColoneI's heiress; it was supposed that she would inherit when she- was eighteen. It would seem that she was a yery valuable piece of •property!" "You mean that my - that Judge Blue-" "You're surely the girl in that paper. And you told me that night at TyIersville what you overheard at the stable, the Judge and Laredo talking- "And' Laredo said he would marry me, but 'that 'he'd wait a few years, until I was eighteen or nineteen, I forget which-" "And "And ,the Judge had this box, paper and .pictures together. Then he Iost it. That's where Laredo cut in on the deal, somehow stealing it from him. And the Judge was afraid of Laredo because ofwhat he knew and could prove!" "Its horrible!" She put her face in her hands, shuddering. "Then," Barry went on, puzzled in his turn, "with Laredo fading out, while Pre hunting him from here to California and back again, Tom Haveril rides into the play! Next thing, Tom Haveri'I has this little boxy -and Tom Haveril ma Tries yen!" "I am afraid!" • "Yes," said Barry sternly. "Just now I was ready to take you back to Tom Haverii, knowing that I'd made a mistake about him being Laredo. But how did it 'come that he had this box and the things in it? And just how are lie and the Judge so thick? Am I going to take you- back into that sort of mess?" She Iooked at him strangely, afraid of him too, yet 'probing wist- fully, hoping a little -no, not really afraid. "Barry! Oh, are you the same Barry of that time at Tylers'ville? You were so true and ?honest then; I know it!" "You should• know that I'm honest and square with you, Lucy. Why, girl, you can tell! When a man is lying to you or telling you the truth -can't you feel it?" "Can you, Barry?" A faint, in- finitely sad smile that might have been nothing but a play of shadow torched her lips. "Tonight, when I came to where you were tied up, as I thought. -I have told you I meant to help you. Was I lying then?" Barry stood looking at her a long while. "I've been thinking about that. You did come wearing my gun; outside of that I don't know hest we could ever have got away., Sarboe and I. And I thought of something else. You knew, when l told you we were going where Sar - bee was, that Tom Haverifs men would be there before us-" `'Yes, I i.now, You couldn't tell me that, but vet: did do all that you enuid to tees me from going there. I t emem+bet I icy." 'And now rou do know that 1 ens• telling yen.: the truth?" "Yes. You gave me every chance you could, Lucy." For an instant his eyes flashed up, then they darkened again ' as he muttered heavily: "I'm grateful to you, Lucy, but Fm almost sorry. You see, it just makes me love you all the more, and I guess it would be bet- ter for me if I could hate you in stead. You're Toni Haverfl's now - anti Tom Haverif isn't Laredo --and I've no longer ray\ excuse to go out and kilt hunt--" Lucy said: "Are you crazy, Barry Haven'.? You know I'm married to "1 am afraid," said Lucy. was not the slightest 'clue to the identity of the murderer, he had made a clean sweep with none left alive to accuse bine "Bull-" began Lucy, more puz- zled than ever. Her eyes, busied with the stream- ing headlines and big bold type at the top of the page had missed what Barry now pointed out. There were pictures of Colonel and Mrs. Hamil- ton, as of other members of his housebold, the Colonel's aunt and two servants. There was another picture. It was of a little girl five or six years old, the Colonel's' daughter. At first it WAS thought that she too had been ei�:�.iGt'C'A°+ �J�a.nrJSS-.:tur lir Irk'.' Toni; no matter who he was, could you. think I'dl-I'd marry a man who killed him?" "Of course 11 couldn't. I didn't ever think of it that way; I didn't get that far." He made a weary ges- ture of a hand across' his eyes, "What are you going to do with me now, Barry?" "I don't know what to do. We can't do anything tonight; it's too late and you're worn out. Get Some sleep if you can. Maybe by morning things will be clearer." Barry looked up and their eyes met. "It's hell, 'that's all," he said heav- ily. "I love you so, Lucy --- and I haven't any right." She 'plunged into her newspaper again, reading every line. Later she dozed', dreaming fantastic dreams', and started wide awake to find the fire still blaming, Barry still brood- ing at the table. She was dozing again and it was almost dawn; Barry was just going to the door, meaning to saddle the horses,en 'they heard the cau- tious steepen outside of someone com- ing oni"ng guardedly to the cabin door. At the door Barry stood to one side, and asked curtly: "Well? Who's, out there?" "That you, Sundown?" came an excited, high-pitched voice. "It's good old Timberline!" Barry said to Lucy, and, opened the door. "What's happened, Timber?" de- manded Barry, getting the door shut. "A -plenty," said Timberline. "We're on the run, to save us our skelps, that's what." "Who's 'Us' and who's, 'They'?" de- manded Barry. "You say, We're on the run.' Who? And what's after you?" "Yuh ask who's on the run; well, it's me an' your sister Lucy an' Ken March. Them two's down in the pines, waitin' for me to look in here an' see if mebhe yuh did come this way. Ken March has got a bullet through one laig an" an ear mos•'ly shot off. He's sorer'n a saddle boil. Whodone it? Shucks, who would? It was Tom Haveril an' / the of Judge ern' a pack d their varmints." Timberline asked a second time of Sarboe and the form on the bunk, "Who's them fellers, Sundown?" Barry said: "This is Sarboe. He's a friend of mine now, Timber -a' friend, do you get me? And, the other man -go take a good look at him." "It ain't -it ain't Laredo, is it, Sundown?" "Yes," said Barry. "That's good. You go to her. We'll be along." When Barry and Timberline joined them, they bore the unconscious Jes- se Conroy'---Laredo-in their arms, wrapped in a blanket. Barry. said: "Dello, Lucy; hello, Ken. You folks ride along, and take Lucy with you. She'll be better off with you than anywhere else for a few days; until anyhow she knows which way to turn. It's about sixty miles on to Pa's 'place. I guess the house is still standing. Timber and I'll join you later. One or the other of us will ride in on yen tomorrow." The three rode off 'through the pines. "Now, which. a -way?" asked Tim- berline irritably. "You think that they'll be able to find' my hideout here,"' said Barry. "I don't. Just the same, we'll move off onto the mountainside a bit to a sheltered place where we can hole up. We can keep an eye on the cabin all day. If they don't show up before dark, we'll move back in- to it." So the three of them' carried the half dead Laredo Kid the half mile to the place Barry had in mind. Sarboe was forever going to stand and, look at Jesse Conroy and com- ing back to Barry to look at 'him dumbly and pleading as a dog rooks at its master. "This boy's crazy to tell yuh somethin', Sundown'," said Timber. Half way through the next day Timberline admitted: "Weld, I reck- on yuth was right for once, Sun- down; that skulduggery bunch o' hell -hounds lost our track-" He ru- minated, then added, grown sudden- ly waspish, "Yuh're Lakin' it layin' down, are yuh?" Barry cocked up hie eyebrows. "Taking what?" "They've chased us out, kilt Juan, stole our gold mine, an' ywh ain't said a word. How about it?" "We'll straighten that out," re- turned' Barry coolly. They decided there was no need of three men sticking on here to feed a sick man soup and take care of his bandage, And they did want to know whether all was well with Ken March and the two Lucys. "You ride along after them, Tim- ber," said Berry. (Continued Neat Week) USEFUL HINTS ON STORING VEGETABLES Unless vegetables which are in- tended to 'be stored for winter use are grown to as nearly full maturity as possible, they cannot be expected to keep well. On no account should squash and pumpkins be exposed to the least frost. As soon as the rind is firm enough to prevent piercing by the fingernail, the fruit may be taken off the plant. Pumpkins and squash should be stored in a dry. place at a temperature of from 40 to 50 degrees. At all times they should be handled as canefully as eggs. The slightest bruise, even though- not 'noticeable, is likely to cause decay in storage. When large quantities are to be stor- ed, slatted shelves ,slhoudd, be used so that the fruits may not be piled on top of one another. For the storage of onions, a cool dry cellar, 'With the temperature not over 40 degrees at any trine Is ideal. Shallow slatted shelves or crates are satisfactory if the bulbs' are not Piled. to any great depth. Occasionally onions may require some help to rip- en in the fall particularly' in districts where the season is short. As soon as the tops of a few plants fall over, all the tops should, be bent over. This Checks the flow of sap and causes the halite to ripen. A few days' later the plants should be pulled. If the weather continues' fine, they should be turned over Occasionally until the tops are fairly well dried, whets they M.

What of next winter?? In a few short days the gardens must be pull- ed up, and months faced when we cannot produce. Whet stall we do with our present surplus garden pro- duce? Sonieoane will need it before we produce again. We must save ev- ery 'morsel of it. Already our abundant crop of peaches, pears and plums are on the market and sugar difficult to obtain. Fruit is so necessary to maintain the balanced ration that we must see to it that none of the crop is 'wasted. Perishable fruits and vegetables' which cannot be cellar stored must be canned. Sugauless canning of fruits has proved so successful that many pre- fer it to the Old mietliod of canning with sugar. You•will be surprised am the delicate flavor of raw fruit which this. method retains. Sugarless canning will result in a decidted economy, for even if sugar is added when serving the canned fruit, the amount then used will be much lents than the amount which would have been used in canning with sugar. The reason for this is that all fruits' contain acids, and, 'where cane sugar is cooked with a product' containing acids some of the sweetening property of the sugar is lost and fruits, therefore, are sweet- ened with less sugar after they have been cooked. Moreover, .tastes vary so largely in the matter of sugar that where each person is allowed to sweeten to taste it will be found that many prefer to use Little or no sugar in order to retain the original fruit flavor un spoiled. The addition of sugar is not neces- sary to preserve the fruits from de- cay, and, used' in the proportion us- ual in canning, it takes no part what- ever in their preservation for, in or- der that sugar may act as a preserva- tive it must be used in the form of a thick syrup, or, as in jams and jel- lies when pound for poun".d is used. Vegetables are the easiest of all products to can The method is sim- ple and vegetables are easily prepar- ed for the jars. Vegetables which lose their moisture easily cannot be stored unless canned while fresh' and tender. Ail the vegetables and greens fit for table use may be canted mc- cessfully without previous experience as the process of sterilization is sim- pie enongh for even young girls to obtain perfect results. This year, before frost spoils the tender vegetables and greens still re- maining in the garden, women every- where should Iook out every avail- able empty jar andfill them with mixed vegetables for soups, strained or pulped vegetables for babies and the sick, and family use. Few women attempt to manage without having some jars of each .rf their favorite fruits scored away for winter use.. , Few wo'-nen, however, carry the canning idea rest that stage in normal peaceful years. Few indeed realize that home can- ning may become a perfect boon in reducing the cost of living, in elim- inating garden and orchard waste, and in providing necessities at very Low cost in times of pressing need. Home canning is thrift! Rome canning today is vital! Save all waste! Be a worker! Be a canner! Sugarless Canning Sugarless canning will do more to teach the importance of sterilizing and sealing than any other lesson, for upon these two points depends your success. Fruits must be sterilized in such a way that all bacteria, molds, yeasts, etc„ are killed and then seal- ed so that no further matter to cause decay can enter the tars. In closed boiler canning some form of sterilizer is necessary, and we wish to point out the fact that the utensils which every farm and home already have on hand may be converted into satisfactory sterilizing vats. An ord- inary tin wash boiler is admirably adapted for this purpose, provided it has a tight fitting cover which will keep in tine steam. When canning only two or tthreeyars, a large pail or lard can with at cover will be found more convenient than the cum- beerscme wash boiler, necessary for a day's canning. A false bottom is absolutely neces- sary. This is made to fit the bottom of the sterilizer and may be made of a piece of board full of holes or a piece of heavy wire netting, or pieces of lath nailed crosswise. This is placed in the bottom of the boiler to keep the jars from direct contact 'should be cut off and slpread in the open or in slatted crates to finish ,ripening. When well dried, they can "be placed in storage for the winter. The Danish Dantean) strain is the best of cabbages for winter storage. All the outer leaves should be remov- ed and the heads handled carefully to avoid brvisting. Select a dry day when the 'heads have no rain water ledged in them and store in a cool dry place. If there is good circula- tion of air in the store room, the heads may be piled in several layer's. Small quantities may be pulled with- out cutting of the heads. and suspend- ed from the joists in a dry cellar. The roots' may be left on, but with all the outer leaves removed. Carrots, beets and parsnips should be kept very cool, and if well dried before storing may be put in large piies, so long as there is no disease present. If carrots show signs of rust -fly injury, the roofs' should be stored in smaller quantities, as one blemished roost will spoil many in . a very shoirt. time, Potatoes beep well in a dry place wllerej the temperature is between 30 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. bp' 7Vt • wrliahevaar, eraelot or e thing psi zrt eery' .jar you p'cAsa.14e, a perfect seal, int to rate jars cane should he. taiceol to saeecc l,;, type of jar which may be. easli" Rtet ealt easilysealed and v,^Mch has, sanitary glass Um. • .i Rubber rings must be firm, ;pliable and fit ,snugly, and be .tick enou•,gh to ensure perfect 'sealing. Maaay jars of fruit have been spoiled through 'de- fective rubbers. Do not economize on rubbers. Use new ones'. One spoiled jar of preserves would: cost more than a dozen new rubbers. Get the habit of burning the old rubbers as each jar is 'entprtied•. This will necessitate new rubbers• each time the jars are used, and you will find fewer spoiled products': Before preparing the product to be canned, always put the clean empty jars in the wash boiler. Have a board full of holes, or a piece of heavy wire netting placed in, the bot - tam of the boiler, to keep the jars front direct contact with the heat of the fire. Cover the jars with cold wa- ter, bring to a 'boll and then set the boiler at back of the stove. When jars are wanted lift out one at a tiune and do not wipe it. The glass tops, rubbers and dipping cup, may be sterilized in the 'game manner, by placing. them in a wore basket and then into a saucepan of boiling wa- ten When needed, lift the wire bas- ket out of the water, take out one rubber . and top, and replace basket in the water until, needed again. Jars and rubbeine have been dealt with so thoroughly that canners must now realize that it is folly to attempt canning until jars with perfect tops are secured, The type is immaterial so long as it seals tight and has a sanitary top. Pay particular atten- tion to the rubbers as they guard the door against the approach of bacteria from the outside air. See that they are competent to perform this import- ant duty. Run your fingers round the rim of each jar. If it has the tiniest chip in it ---reject it. Try on the rub- bers, if they are nicked or bulge use others. Perform these tests before commencing your day's canning. The principles of canning are al- ways the same, the product must be sterilized until all bacteria is killed, and then sealed to keep out the un- sterilized outside air. The water in the boiler should be ea= but not hot when the jars (fill- ed!) are put in, and should complete- Iy cover the jars. If the lid fits snugly the steam which collects' in the upper portion of the boiler will assist in the sterilizing. The jars should be covered with water in or- der to avoid too great lose of liquid in the jars. Do not open the jars after steriliz- ing because the fruits have shrunk. The space Ieft by the shrinkage of the fruit, and the escape of some of the water by steam, _ is a sterilized' vacuum and wild not in any way, in- jure the product. Wrap jars in paper before storing to preserve the beautiful coloring of the fruits. Sugarless peaches and plums should be stoned and the large fruits cut in half. Peaches should be blanched by pouring boiling water ov- er them for a moment and then plung- ing them quickly into cold water for a dip and then nut ,again. Remove the skins and pack in the sterilized jars. Pour in boiling water to fill them completely and put on rubbers and tops, leaving the tops a trifle ioose. Place in the boiler on a false bottom and sterilize, for 20 minutes. Tighten taps, remove from boiler and invert to cool. Store in the dark. Sugarless Apples, Quinces, Pears- Orchard culls may be used paring off all spoiled pieces. Pare, quarter and core the fruit, dropping the pieces in- to cold water as prepared to prevent discoloration. Pack in sterilized jars, filling, up completely with boiling wa- ter. Put on rubbers and tops, leav- ing tops loose. Place jars in the boiler anti sterilize for 20 minutes, Tighten tops and remove from boil- er. These fruits are suitable for pies, salads, puddings or as a break- fast dish with cream and sugar add- ed.

Canada's 200,000 Bicycles Me direct ancestor of Canada's 200,000 bicycles is being commemor- ated by the unveiling in September of a plaque to mark the hundredth an- niversary of the invention of the first bicycle to be propelled by pedals'. The inventor was Kirkpatrick Mac- piillan, a Scottish blacksmith, and' he was 29 years old when he mounted his bicycle and rode Off to Glasgow to see his three brothers, one of whom, a former tutor of John Bright's, was Rector.at Glasgow High School. "I met a man fleein' through the air on wheels," cried a shoemaker when he encountered- the first bicycle in action, "and if it wasma' a man, then it must ha' been the De'il himsel'." The plaque is to be placed on the w a .1 1 of Kirkpatrick Macmillan's smithy at Gourthill in Dumfriesshire. It is estimated by the British cycle makers Union that On the world.' to- day there are 61,000,000 des'cendantan of this first bicycle. Last year Great Britain sent 576,458 abroad, of which total 156,166 were sold to foreign countries, a record figure represent- ing in value £486,306. After several years of continuous decreases, the total number of farm workers in England and Wales, ac- cording to British agricultural returns as at June 3, 1939, showed a gain of 13,200 (2.2 per cent.) on 1938. The total area used for agriculture in England and Wales as at June 3rd, 1939, according to the returns made by occupiers of agricultural holdings exceeding one acre in extent was 30,229,000 acres, a reduction of 97,000 acres (0.3 per cent,) from the total returned in 1938.
