THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD SYNOPSIS Ruth Warren, living in the East, comes into possession of . three -guar- ter interest in an Arizona ranch, left to her in the will of her brother, re- ported to have died while on business in Mexico, With her ailing husband and small child she goes to Arizona to take possession, thinking the cli- mate may prove beneficial to her husband's weakened lungs. Arriving at the nearest town, she learns that the ranch, "Dead' Lantern," is 85 miles across the desert. Charley Thane, old rancher and rural mail carrier, agrees to take them to "Dead Lantern" gate, which was J; miles from the ranch house. As they wearily walked past a huge over- shadowing boulder in a gulch in coming to the ranch house, a voice whispered "Go back, Go back!" At the ranch house the are greeted suspiciously by the gaunt rancher partner, Snavely, and Indian Ann, a herculean woman of mixed negro and Indian blood. Snavely is diffi- cult to understand but regardless. Ruth takes up the task of trying to, adjust their three lives to the ranch and its development. Kenneth, Ruth's husband, caught in chilling rain con- tracts pneumonia and passes away before a doctor arrives, Ruth tries to carry on. She is not encouraged by Snavely in plans to try and stock the ranch or improve it, She writes to her father in the East asking for a loan with which to buy cattle. She. receives no reply. Will Thane comes home to visit his father ... and Ruth meets hien. A rancher nearby decides to retire and offers to sell Ruth and Snavely his live stock on credit. Snavely tries to balk the deal but Ruth buys to the limit of her three-quarter interest in Dead Lantern ranch. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY tzJiSG After the bulls had been driven into the smallest of the intercon, noting corrals on the hone ranch, they were forced, one ab a time, to enter a narrow runway which op. ened out into the pasture. Just be- fore a bull reached the open end of this runway and just as he was con, gratulating himself on his escape, a bar shot across in front of his nose another was placed immediately be- hind him and be was a prisoner. The walls of the runway were already pressing its sides, and now three Wren took hold of a long lever with the result that one of the walls swung !award, holding the entire lann as though a great hand had closed upon him. A large aminal can thus be doctored or branded with least danger to all concerned, par titularly to himself. Before the first of the bulls had been released, Ruth Warren appear- ed among the surprised cowboys at the branding fire with a bucket of white paint she had found in the barn. "Wait, before you let him loose," she called to the man by the nose bat. "What's the natter?" asked Snavely, "Well." said Ruth, "you see—how are we going to keep track of the bulls? I mean, suppose we do ride in the pasture and count them, they'll be so scattered that by the time we've counted twenty-two we can't be sure but what we've count- ed the sane one twice, and that maybe one is gone." "Can't you tell by looking at an animal whether you've counted him before or not?" "Frankly, I can't. They all look alike to me." "What do you aim to do with that paint?" "I'll show you!" Before Snavely could protest Ruth ran forward and drew a number one of the animal's side, two feet high. "See," she called triumphant- ly, "now all we have to do is to cheek their numbers on a piece of paper— we can't go wrong." Snavely looked pityingly at Ruth, then turned away; the old 'owman was too disgusted to speak. It scent- ed incredible to him that any one could look at a bull and not remem- ber hint as one remembers the face of a man, The day came when Ruth, Ann, and David set out to obtain some Mexicans. She had told Snavely that she wanted to go, herself, be- cause she had never seen the 'town of Palo Verde. This was !tartly true, but she felt that he knew her real reason; she wanted to be sure to get some Mexicans. , He refused to go with her and she commandeered Ann for an interpreter. She hoped David could stand the gide—'it would be twenty miles there and back. They would have to 'spend the night — T Ileavcn only knew how and where. They had reached the highway and were perhaps a.•mile south of the gate when they met a covered wagon t THURS., NOV. 2, 1933 -- NEWS OF HAPPENINGS the damages.

About 6 o'clock Mr. Rud- olph Etue, of the Bluewater High way, near Drysdale, and his bride of less than a week, were returning front their honeymoon trip when they came upon four horses that had wan- dered onto the highway at Devon corner. In attempting to avoid hit- ting them the car left the. road and overturned into the ditch. Fire started under the hood of the engine and Mr. and Mrs. Etue were unable to emerge from their perilous .posi- tion as the doors on the upper side of the car were jammed tight. Mr, Well. Kerslake, who was passing at the time, pried .the door open and ef- fected their release. Mrs. Etue was brought to the office of Dr. Fletcher suffering from slight bruises. Mr. Etue escaped unhurt. The fire was extinguished after some damage had been done to the wiring and some parts of the motor. One of the fen- ders was slightly damaged. The hor, ses belonged to Mr. E.

"The girl Oh, she's the older man's daughter -I supopse she'll just keep house for them." Snavely looked at Ruth for a long moment in silence, his slits of eyes glinting perkily. Suddenly he left her and rode toward the barn, dis- mounting at the saddle shed. When she reached the porch of the ranch house Ruth paused with her hand of the door, and, chang- ing her mind, seated herself on the rawhide cot. When next her eyes sought the barn, Ann was nearly at the house. The giantess went to the rear and entered the kitchen without noticing Ruth. Ruth had risen to join Ann when she saw the distant figure of Alfredo come out of the barn with a rolled mattress on his shoulder, walk to the wagon and toss it in. Immediately behind him came Mag- da, an ollo on her head and a half. filled sack in iter hand. She also placed her load in the wagon and re- turned to the barn. By the time Do', Francisco emerged 'with two emirs and an armful of smaller things, Ruth was well on her way "'Why are you putting your things in the wagon?" she called to Al- fredo who came out of the barn car- rying a copper tub 'as he approach- ed. The young man placed the tub in the wagon, regarded Ruth with • a shrug and remained silent, his fin- gers smoothing his mustache. Snavely was standing just inside the door. - "What clid you say to them?" de- manded Ruth. "Nell, I fired them, that's what I did! Do you think I'm goin' to have a lyin' undependable bunch of trash like that on this place? They tell me they won't work an' are fixin' to leave; then you come down here an' they let on they will work —!what can you do with people like that?" Ruth did not reply, but she went to Magda and taking her arm point- ed to the ranch house. "Come Mag- da,' The Mexican girl's eyes question- ed her. Ruth smiled and led Magda toward the house. The three men followed. • At the kitchen door, Ruth termed and addressed Snavely. "You men will have to stay out here,"•she smil, ed.

And tell her that they are working for me, not for Mr. Snave- ly." Magda was transfixed with joy and embarrassment, when Ann ceased to speak. The girl took an uncertain step toward Ruth. Suddenly, she eourtesied almost to the floor and kissed her hand, as though she were a great queen. "Well," said Ann, "I can't tell you what she said 'cause .I duan know th' fancy words in English—anyhow she thinks you're powerful good.

Sills, prominent and highly esteemed residents of Seaforth, celebrated the 62nd anniversary of their marriage last week with a family dinner at the home of their son, Frank Silis, John street.

Before the Mexican girl had ceas- ed to reply, sudden fear filled Ann's face, The Indian woman did not translate Magda's words; she left the kitchen, crossed the back porch and entered her room. Magda looked at Ruth, puzzled, "The than say we go." Ruth smiled and shook "No, go, Magda." "No, no, no—ah, mil, mil Senora!"

FAMOUS ENGLISH TRAIN ON VIEW] EN ROUTE HOME The famous Royal Scot, express train of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, will soon return to Canada en route to Britain and will visit various towns and cities where opportunity will be given for Canadians to inspect this famous flyer as it runs over the lines of the Canadian National Railways from Chicago to Montreal. Arriving at Montreal the train will lie dismant- led, loaded on a steamship and re- turned to Britain. After its visit to Western Canada and western United States points, the Royal Scot will proceed to Chi- cago, where it has attracted great attention as an exhibit at the Century of Progress 'Exhibition, over Grand Trunk Western lines to Port Huron where it will be handed over to Can, adian National Railways. Stops on the Grand Trunk Western will be made at Battle Creek, Lansing, De- troit, Flint and Port Huron. The famous train will reach London, On- tario, on Tuesday, November 7 and will there after be on exhibition at the following towns and cities on the following dates: Stratford, Kitchener, Guelph on November 8, arriving Toronto 10.15 p.m. Toronto, November 9, the train being on display from 10 a.m. until 10.00 p.m. Oshawa, Port Hope, Belleville, November 10. Kingston, Brockville, November 11, arriving Montreal 9.30 p.m. The train will be at Bonaventure Station, Montreal, on Sunday, No- vember 12 and on the following day will be moved to the railway sleeps for dismantling preparatory to loiCd- ing on steamship. At Montreal the train will be on display from 8.30 a.m. until 9.00 p.m. 0 A. Canadian citizen touring certain sections of the United States a few years ago, reported on his return that he had passed through several good-sized towns where absolutely ideal business conditions obtained, It had there been possible to so establish a spirit of co- operation and good will, not only among the business and profession - a1 men, but also between these and the general public, with the re- sult that the most harmonious relations pervaded these towns. The business men were content to live and let live, to refrain from adopt- ing unfair and unethical business methods, to lend a helping hand to each other in trouble and adversity, and to extend to one another such business patronage as lay in their power. Thus the carpet- bagger invariably got the "cold shoulder," for it was firmly estab- lished and acknowledged that every order which could be placed in the hoine town, but which was sent ,elsewhere, simply drained that community of legitimate revenue, and served but to enrich some oth- er,- locality. Business left in the ]tome town helps everybody in such town, Therefore, when considering orders for printing of any kind, re- member it can be dono expeditiously and well by your home town printer.
