FINAL INSTALMENT
SYNOPSISBarryHaveril goes hunting for
a gamin of his, Jesse, Conroy.
knownres' the Laredo Kid, who
his brother Robert.
Barry is befriended ,' Judge
Blue and his dauglitdr, Lucy.
The Judge turns out to be a
friend of Laredo's and a bad ac-
tor. Barry eseapes, however, and
tweets an old mail named Tim.
berline, who also is gunning for
the Laredo Kid. After • severpl
years of searching, Barry reterne
to Judge Blue's Crouse, where he
meets a man called Tom Haverii
whom he accuses of beim Yds
cousin, Jesse, in disguise. Barry
becomes convinced of this later
and they have a gun battle, both
'- getting hurt. Recovered, Barry
discovers Tom Haven' has mar-
ried Libya whom ire loves. Barry
kidnaps Lucy, and after a grin bat-
tle with Reveries men, takes her
to his cabin in the mountains.
There he finds the real Laredo
Kid wounded and dying. There
Lucy learns she is not Judge
Blue's daughter but a wealthy
heiress wlhosse parents were slain
when she was a Iittle girl. Judge
Blue and: Tom Haveril, who Bar -
ay -has discovered is not the Lare-
do Kid, come after him with a
posse. Taking Barry by- surprise
Tome Haveril is about to shoot
when Moldy, a half breed girl
who loved Robert, Barry's bro-
ther, fires. Tom Haveril dies. -Ia
his pockets they find faded let-
ters making Judge Blue out the
murd'er'ed o f Lucy's parents.
However, the posse is still gun-
ning for Barry. Stealthily re-
turning to their gold mine, Bar-
ry and Timberline get the drop
on the risen who are here after
them, and Barry tells them the:
truth about Judge Blue.
"Papers?' said the men among
themselves. Someone •called out,
""You go see, Bendigo; you can read
like a lawyer."
Bendigo read.and Barry explained.
Bendigo scratched his heard and said,
---
"It looks like to ms-"
Barry called out the full explana-
tion . to the men down below. Ile
ended by saying:
"You fellows that worked for
Tom Haveril, you know I'm telling
you the truth_ Sarboe bac told us
what he knows, and it's plenty!
You're all ripe for hangjng to the
first tree. The Laredo Kid is still
riding free, sticking close to the
Judge because either one of 'em can
bang the other, and they're afraid
to separate! Want to stick along
with them? Then fin your hands!
Come a -shooting, or get out of
hers!"
"'That's teachin"'em their ABC's,
I reckon," said Ben Haveril_
Just then two men came roaring
into camp, headed from drown -anon,
lashing their jaded, sweat -lathered
horses. They' were the sheriff, Ed.
Brawley, his face sick -white, his
,shoulder red, blood dripping flour
his fingertips, and the old man, Cliff
Bendiger.
He collapsed and slid to the
ground.
Barry went to where Brawley lay.
The Sheriff muttered weakly:he
"It was tKid. I didn't know
who he was! The Judge says, `Meet
a friend of mine, Jesse Conroy, a
cowboy workin' for me. 1f I'd only
knowed! He shot fas', after Timber
done his talkin'; shot an' rode away
on his spurs, laughin' his head off!"
"'And Timberline?" asked Barry
,anxiously.
'"Shot him, too," muttered Brawley.
"But wbry+--?"
Brawley said, still more faintly:
"Reckon he was sorry -he spilled
the beans. You see, be let out where
your womenfolk was. And he
knowed that them two, the Kid ane.
bow, was beaded straight to get iris
hands on them females."
"Good God!" gasped Barry. Them
like," grinned, the Kid, "an' I'll slap
yore scared faces off'n yule"
commanding
mother stood in the door-
way; at a comanding glance from
41er the two girls retreated' into the
house and snood looking fearfully
over her shouid'era. She said In that
tow, quiet voice of here:"What do you want here?"
"A -plenty," said the Kid.
"I'ru gittien' out's here an' I'm
goin' fast', but I ain't goin' alone,"
he said. His eyes pouneed upon H'a
Lucy aniiton�s, "Yuh're cornier
with me."
There was murder in his eyes then
and she saw it, stark and brutal and
merciless; and utter, terror gripped
her
He said again to the terrified girl,
"Yule bombe' with me."
"No!" she cried. 9-"
That quiet little woman, Barry's
mother, became like a she -wolf pro-
tecting her cubs. Incredibly swift,
she leaped for the old ride .stand-
ing against the wall, dead Robert's
gun where she had placed it when
thinking that Barry might want it.
The Kid's gun came up out of its
bolster in' a gesture too quick for
the eye to follow. - He touched the
trigger gently, that devil's grin still
on his face; there was the roar of
explosion, the flash of orange fire,
arid' the rifle clattered to the floor.
He had very adroitly shot the
woman through 'the right forearm.
The Judge burst out explosively,
though he made no gesture toward
his own gun:
"Look here, Laredo! This sort
of
thin:,,-'->' .
Laredo whirled and all without
warning fired a second shot, and
the Judge clutched his abdomen.
The Judge's gun' was still in its
holster; he had no strength to drag
pit forth. He had lurched toward
Barry's sister. Instinctively she made
a swift movement toward it.
Why Laredo did not shoot her is
not to be known. Perhaps he had a
thought to saving ammunition; per-
haps the easiest thing was what he
did. As she stooped, he struck her
brutally with the barrel of the gun
in his hand, and Little blae-eyed
Lucy dropped mercifully uncon-
scious across the Judge's legs.
'"Oornin' along peaceful -like now?"
asked the Kid of the other Lucy,
standing and; grinning at her, spin-
ning his gun about upon a forefinger
through its trigger guard. "`Say yes
is a, burry, an' I won't hurt no more
o' yore .frien's. Hang back Iike a
balky- mule an' I'll pop another buI-
Iet through al' lady Haveril."
Lucy tried to answer and could
not speak. His lips twitched as he
watched free
"Ynh're myy ace in the hole, that's
what," she said. "Yuh're goin' to be
o'm
wrth money to e. Now, are yuh
cumin'?" He flipped his gun over
and drew a fine bead on a spot be-
tween Mrs. Haveril's eyes.
Lucy's voice came to her then in
a thin scream. With the Judge dying
on the floor; with Barry's sister
lying unonsacious, a smear of blood
spreading on her face, with Mrs.
Haveril looking like a dead woman
standing erect, she knew that the
Kid would welcome another killing,
just to show off ,before her and. to
convince her that he was a man of
his ward, and trot squeamish about
t"hangs.
"`Yes, yes! I'm. coming!"' she gasp-
ed. "'Q,h, God help mer-"
"No!" said Mrs. Haveril. ""No,
dear. I'd rather have him kill Me."
Laredo caught the girl by the arm
and jerked her to him.
"We're in a hurry from now an.
We've wasted enough time."
She clung to the Shorn of the sad-
dle and turned for a last look back,
Mrs. Haveril, one arm dangling,
had run outside and had retrieved
the rifle which Laredo had thrownd(
ur
into the yar
Laredo, too, turned and looked
back.
"She's askin' for it," he grunted
and jerked out this newly bolstered
gun.
"'Don't!" screamed Lucy and tried
to came abreast of him to strike his
"Barry, save me!" she screamed.
he ran for a horse.
It was 1u a neves/there-forgotten
early dusk that,Judge Blue and the
Laredo Kid rode into they yard of
the old. Ben Haveril home.
Barry's smother and the two Lucys
rangy to the door, all eagerness. Al-
ready the Laredo Kid was standing
on the porch, his bard brown hands
on his narrow hips.
The Judge called over the Kid's
shoulder!withan affectation of
hea'ntlness: -
"Hello, Lucy, my darling. Howdy,
Mrs. Haveril. Howdy, Miss Lucy."
As' the three women flinched back
the Laredo Kids laughed,
""Make a move that ain't hospitable
arm down, "For God's sake--"
He only laughed at her as he
fired; this time he shot to kill, There
was the crack of the rifle; Lucy
heard the angry hiss, not a yard from
her own teed; she heard the ex-
plosion of the gun in Laredo's
handand saw Mrs. Haveril fall.,
Those last shots were beard from
afar, dully muffled sounds, by Barry
Haveril riding hard to came up with
Laredo.
He began shouting as he rode
into the yard. Ice went to his heart
at the ominous hush which was- his
only answer. He ran into the house,
still calling, only to grow msomentar-
fey rigid, flied with horror. The Judge
• t
was dead, tis sister Luray he though
dead too;; she lay on titre Boor, sti
uneonscious, her face covered with
blood -
He dashed throaiglh the.+house, seek-
ing. Where was his nether,? Where
was Lucy Harinilton?
T,ho first moving thing he saw was
bis mother, weakly 'trying to rise
from where she lay oat in the yard.
"I'm ail right, Baron," she whis-
pered. Then he saw her broken
bloody arm and saw too that she
had been shot through the shoulder.
As he drew her into his arms he
heard her, shill whispering, say . as
steadily as she could: "Hu .he's
taken your Lucy away with hinm,
Baran."
"Laredo? When? Where, Mother?"
She tried to point but could only
nod feebly to indicate the direction.
"Only a mriunte ago. Go, Baron.
Kill trim. Baron. Hey she is not a
man --just . a murder machine- God
wants you to kill 'him, I think, my
steno eto put him out et his misery-"
Barry put her down gently where
she was.
"I'll be right back, Mama," he
said softly, "with Lucy. Just a
minute, Mama"
His horse was fresher than the
two with which Laredo was trying
to escape, and Barry overhauled
them before they had gone a mile.
Laredo heard and saw who fol-
lowed; cat -quick he was down out
the saddle, dragging Lucy along
with him. As his cousin, Torn
Haveril had done in like circum-
stance, so now did the Laredo Kid
do, holding the half fainting Lucy be-
fore him with one arm, his other
'hand on his gun.
"1 see yuh're bringin' sue back my
of red gun, Cousin Barry," he
mocked, but Lucy saw that for all
his jeering there was a look of fear
on his face_
Barrycame forward, 'walking slow-
ly, the odd red gun in this •hand. Lare-
do shouted, "That's close enough,
Sundown! One more step an'-"
"I'm going to kill you, Laredo,"
said Barry and came on.
Laredo yelled back at him, "Yuh
foal, yuh'll kill her!"
"Barry!" screamed Lucy. "Barry,
save me! I don't care if I am killed!
I'd rather be dead-"
It wanted something next door to
a miracle to speed that bullet by the
girl without harming her and to
bury it in Laredo's lean body. The
uriracle was not forthcoming. Bar-
ry's bullet bit Lucy. But it bit La-
redo too. It struck her in the tip
of the shoulder and; went clean
through and, drilled) through Lare-
do's shoulder an inch or so lower
than Lucy's.
Laredo lifted 'himself a -fraction of
a second first, but .his arm was
heavy and as he threw his gun for-
ward Barry was already firing again.
A long red furrow sprang into his
face as he fell backward. Yet, drop-
ping back, he loosed' another bullet
with that almost uncanny certainty
of his.
Barry, twice hard hit, lay for a
moment unable to stir-, his brain
swimming dizzily, his hand going
lax on his gun.
He shook his head; his teeth set
bard; with a supreme effort he sat
up. He saw Laredo sitting up as
awkwardly as himself. The gun in
Barry's weakening fingers was heavy
and his band, grown numb and weak,
was about to fail, him altogether. On-
ly with the greatest difficulty, exert-
ing hie will. to the uttermost, did he
Ii f t his gan
He heard Laredo speak as across,
some tremiendous, storm -filled `dis-
tance.
"I'ho done for," was what he was
saying, "but rm takin' Lucy with
me."
As the Kid spoke, he managed to
ehove t[$ muzzle of his gun against
her head.. Barry fired without con-
scious aim. The bullet broke Lare-
do's gun arm before the could pull
the trigger.
Barry got to his feet, took two or
three nm,certafn steps toward Lucy
and pitched forward on his face.
When he regained consciousness
he was in bed, and there were many
anxious faces turned toward him, his
father's, Luke's, Ken March's+ --yes,
and here was his sister Lucy, alive,
and there on another cot lay his
mother, white but serene. And his
own Lucy, too --
And Lucy, snuggling closer, un-
derstood and nodded.

To many ehiiidoen the outdoors
brought with it straalge sights -first -
glimpses of farm a"nnmhlis, fruit ripe

Shortage in several commodities is
being felt in districts outside the
large centres. The arrival of 'many
infants in one village has resulted in
a premium on perambulators and
pusthcasts. Shortage in another di-

terse item: "There is likely to be a
shortage of minnows at Wicksteed

WILSON'S fourteen points dur-
ing the last Great War arc
engraved in history. Hitler's recent
sixteen fantastic points will also be
referred to many times by histor-
ians in the future. Therq are an-
other 31 points, however, of which
little is heard even though they
, have a serious bearing on the daily
life of every householder in Can-
ada. They represent possible fire
hazards in the home which, at this
season of the year, call for appro-
priate action by everyone living in,
or miming a home.
Last year, Canada's total fire
loss was $25,899,180 in 44,060 fires.
Of this total 33,044 were in dwell-
ings with a loss of $6,089,663.
Most of these fires could have
been avoided by reasonable care
and foresight according to the
Canadian Underwriters' Associa-
tion which is circulating the above
drawing calling attention of house-
holders to the danger of fires in
their own homes.
Careful inspection of homes
would reveal just how many of
these 31 points detailed in the
next column require immediate
attention, it is stated, and the time
spent in checking them will bring
freedom from worry to say nothing
about the loss, suffering and in-
convenience caused by fires in
dwellings. So, the Association ad-
vises, "if everyone would take
prompt steps to reduce the fire
hazards in their own homes, Can-
ada's loss this winter would be
materially, reduced."
