SYNAPSIS
Barry Haverii leaves his Texas
home to see the country, meets
a man who has 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 his gun, a very un-
usual, one. When they part Barry
leaves for home but finds the
family is no longer there, When
he is leaving he suddenly comes
across a dead man who turns out
to be his brother Robert.
CHAPTER III
HE knew it was Robert the in-
stant he glimpsed the sprawling
form. even before he looked, for
any face, and he knew too that'he
was dead. So it was a burning -
eyed, blanched -faced, tragic boy
who burst in upon the Humph-
' rep,. saying. thickly as they star-
ed «t.him:
"He's dead. Robert, he's dead.
Somebody killed him, Who? I
wana to know who? You tell me,
Tex Humphreys!!"
Molly went back with him and
Tex to where the body lay, a
Molly who Was all melting black
eyes from which the tears stream-
ed unceasingly.
Tex sat a long while on his
heels, then looked straight up ,in-
to Barry's hardened face,
"He rode off this way Late yes-
tiddy," he said, speaking softly
an drawlingly. "'Somebody bush-
what-iked hint. Stood right over
yaner. by that big tree. Shot him
dean through the haid."
He got up and moved about,
toe kine for signs. "Here's where
he :ood, Barry. He was afoot;
didn't have any hoss. An' Robert
did; he was ridin' my Coaly. 11'Iy
bei boss, my Mex saddle an'
bridle—a11 gone! Somebody might
im }'be thought he was wo'th
lain' for that outfit; somebody'
afoot that wanted a hoss real
bad; somebody mebbe the law
was after."
"Vie c'n follow the tracks,"
said Karry. "We c'n see which
way he rode off."
Little Wiser
Tex agreed in all heartiness.
They hastened back to Humph-
rey's ranch for horses. They put
in a dogged, determined day, and
in the end turned back little wis-
er than when they started.
That night Barry shook his
head at Tex Hutnphrey's invita-
tion to stay, and turned under the
stars toward his own place.
He walked half the night be -
:fore he rolled exhausted into his
blanket and slept. When he awoke
he .was so stiff and sore that he
could scarcely stand; he had less
use for a horse than ever before,
and t,swed he would never fork
another. In a pink dawn with a
chill mountain wind blowing he
breal'fa•stet1 and rolled his pack
and went 011.
It was almost a day's trip,
north and west, to the spot where
he hr:d watched the two border
e' essbreeds engaged in their
primitive gold -gleaning o p e r-
ation'.
D:hvn in the ravine he set his
rine aside. pulled off his worn
boots, rolled up his overalls and
went to work. He didn't have a
pz.n as the others had, but he
din have big strong capable hands.
He found a sandy place between
two rig rocks, scooped up a lot
of ;he wet sand and smeared it
out 11,in and smooth on top of
the flatter boulder. Then he be-
g'an picking through it, disturb -
lag 1:ar'ticles with a horny finger-
r.nii, seeking the soft reddish pel-
lcts.
Two Elegant Bags
`text morning he tried higher
upstream. For hours he mounted,
trying. in all sorts of places. Be-
fore noon he found a pothole un-
der water at the lower encs of a
pool. He spent about two hours
at that hole, thinking that he
• might as well clean it out while
Lc v.as at it; he could find an-
other next time. Then figuring
that the must have about all the
Role he would need for the things
he .carted in town, he started
back cabinward. Hardly started,
he stopped and looked back, un-
decided. He'd want to get a lot
of shells for his new six-gun, a
terrible lot of 'ern; he wondered
whether he had gold enough.
The next morning he set out.
It was a long walk to Tylerville;
ftIA
.T SAN
.AEN
I I ii �1 sING Gf fAi„ 7
Jesse had told hint it must be
thirty -forty mile.
Tylerville, a ragged and crook-
ed cow town, sprawled in what
bad been .once known as Cotton-
wood Flats.
When a buckboard came dash-
ing around a far corner in an
enormous cloud of dust, he drew
back against a wall as though
afraid of being run down, even
on a sidewalk. Then, seeing it
close as it 'shot on by, he was
impressed by its elegance. Two.
sleek, beautiful, matched bays
with floating silver manes drew
it; an imposing figure of a man
drove it, a handsome big blond
man.
At his side was a little girl;
she looked very little indeed be-
side the plan's imposing bulk, and
- about all that Barry could make
of her as she went past was that
she too wore blue and that she
• had a big white hat from which
blue ribbons streamed, and that
she was laughing.
In The Restaurant
Men clumped along the side-
walk, most of them dusty and in
high -heeled boots with• dragging
spurts, With big hats, the brims
pushed back, and with flapping,
open vests.
He stopped fascinated before
a window full of things to make
his mouth water; some of thein
looked almost too pretty. to eat.
Barry went in. At one side was
a counter, at the other a series
of small tables with low partitions
jutting out from the wall to sep-
arate them. He sat down and
when a waiter came said, after
drawing a long breath:
"I want a hunk of choc'late
cake and a hunk of the white
cake that's yellow inside and
some Body water."
He had disposed of perhaps
half of the chocolate cake and
two-thirds of the white one, when
he saw the big blond man and
the little girl come in; they went
to a table next to his but were
hidden, when they sat down, by
. the partition. The waiter ahnost
ran to serve them.
Barry wolfed down the rest of
his cake and caught the waiter's
eye.
"I didn't bring any real money
along," he said, keeping his voice
down. "You can take the prig
out of this."

Five "Dn'ts"
For Children
Mayor LaGuardia, of New
York Gives Advice on How to
Hold Vacation Accident Toll
to Minimum
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, of New
York City, appealed last week to
parents to co-operate with the Pol-
ice Department in a special drive
to reduce traffic accidents to child-
ren to an all-time low. He said par-
ents could help by supervising the
play time of their children and see-
ing that they used the city's parks,
pdaygrounds, swimming pools, ar-
eas and play streets.
ADULTS SHOULD SUPERVISE
PLAY
"In addition I hope they will im-
press upon their children the five
vacation 'don'ts' listed by the Pol-
ice Department on the basis of its
study of, the common causes of ac-
cidents." said the Mayor.
The "don'ts" follow:
"1. Don't play games in the road-
way.
'2, Don't bitch on trucks, cars or
other vehicles.
"3. Don't weave in and out of
traffic while riding your bicycle.
"4. Don't ride on the handlebars.
"5, Don't peas red lights."
New Pinafore
And Jumpers
They'll Be Conspicuous On
The Campus in the Fall
Pinafores are moving up into the
front row again for class days this
fal1. \Ve note the first pinafores to
appear are not ruffled and that the
style that looks quite new for cam-
pus is the pleated pinafore, though
the flared and dirndl -skirted style
over dress or blouse is given a new
look of being in lightweight wool-
len in solid color contrast shades or
combination of classic sports pat-
tern with solid color. "School
house" red with green or navy
contrast is smart in these.
Just where a pinat'ore style stops
and a jumper style begins is in
these days a little difficult to decide
when jumper dresses that do not
fasten down the back are nevertlhe•
,less spoken of as pinafores. We do
merely mention this to emphasize
the fact that the pinafore fashion
has started interest fu kindred fash-
ions and that jumper dresses conn*
under this head and are spoken of
Ain. full favor.
Black And Brown
For Autumn Wear
Wine, Crean, Blue and Beige
Will Also Be Popular •
Every year about this time, the
fashion industry goes into a huddle
to decide what colors shall be good
for fall.
High-powered executives meet,
look at swatches, argue, make big
speeches, call in artists and dye ex-
perts.
Finally, they make a solemn an-
nouncement. Black and Brown will-
be
illbe good for fall. Wine and green
and blue and beige will be good, too.
The I.T. S. National Retail DrY
Goods Association has just made
such an announcement at New
York, endorsing these very colors
for next fall. It took a committee of
16 to select them.
To a woman who has nothing to;
do with fashions except as a shop-
per, it all looks pretty silly. Black,
of course. Brown, of course. What
else would they pick for fall?
The reason for the fuss is that
there are so many shades of each
color — even of black. From many
browns the committee this year has
selected two of the best — a nutria
shade and a mink shade. So with
other colors. Precise shades are se-
lected, then the committee issues
color cards to retailers, manufact-
urers and designer's, for their guid-
ance in assembling your fall ward-
robe.
DIFFERENCES IN SHADE
To you as a shopper, this care-
ful attention to color means that
if you buy a teal blue coat, you'll
be able to find a teal blue hat to
match it. It means that if you want
bright brown accessories to go well
with your green wool frock, you'll
be able to find gloves, shoes, hat.
and bag in approximately the same
shade of brown.
Home Hints
ints
Potatoes and carrots should be
scrubbed, not peeled. Vegetable
peelings, green tops, outside leaves
of greens should never be thrown
away, but simmered to make vege-
table stock. Water in which you
cook your vegetables should be add-
ed to stock -pet or used to make a
gravy. Bones and carcases should
be gently simmered for six hours,
and the liquor used as a foundation
for soup.
Grass -stains will yield to glycer-
ine, spread over the patch, left for
an hour or two, and then washed
off with warm water, rinsing sever-
al times and using soap gently if
really bad. Mud -stains are best
soaked off in cold water, warm wa-
ter seems to set then more.
You can make a useful clothes -
dryer from an old umbrella. Strip
off the cover, enamel the framework
white, and hang up on a hook in the
ceiling over your cooker or range.
You then have a splendid dryer or
airer after which a large number
of small things, such as collars and
handkerchiefs, and it can be folded
up when not in use.
Vacations Prevent
Child Delinquency
Boys and girls still believe in
being good around Christmas,
but the summer months show less
juvenile delinquency than any
other period of the year, reports
Juvenile Judge Eugene Madden
of Denver. "With the conning of
vacations children get so mush
varied activity that they don't
have time to get into trouble,"
he said.

"FOOD FOR HEALTH"
Last week I spoke of the merit
of the publication, Food For
Health, published by the Can-
adian Medical Association. Col.-
tinning with the advice written
therein I believe it is timely to
mention this week, the "Shop-
ping Hints" and "Cooking Hints,"
two topics which are of present
day value to every thrifty house-
wife who is interested in the
health and economy of her -fam-
ily.
Those of you who are filing
the writings of this column will
have from last summer, my ar-
ticle "Hints on vegetable cook-
ing." Some is a repetition, but I
wish to give the information ex-
actly as printed in the book
"Food For Health".
SHOPPING HINTS
1. Use foods "in season" when
the price is lowest.
2. When fresh vegetables are
high in price, buy canned vege-
tables, particularly tomatoes as
they retain their total food value
in canning.
3. Cheese may replace some of
the milk or meat in ones diet.
An ounce of Canadian cheese
may be used in place of a glass
of milk.
4. In buying the cheaper cuts
of pleat, select those with little
bone or waste.
5. Fcods in bulk usually are
cheaper than those in packages.
6. When possible buy foods in
large quantities to get price re-
ductions.
7. Familiarize yourself with the
meaning of "government grades"
for food.
COOKING HINTS
1. Use little water for cooking,
except for strongly flavored vege-
tables.
2. Save cooking water from
vegetables, or liquid from canned
vegetables and use as stock in
soups.
3. Cook vegetables with skins
on, if possible. Otherwise scrape
or pare thinly.
4. Don't overcook vegetables.
Such vegetables as green cabbage
and spinach need only 8 to 10
minutes cooking. Red cabbage,
potatoes, and root vegetables need
20 to 40 minutes.

ren
In addition to the ohildren and
mothers sent each summer to
Camp Bolton, the Neighborhood
Workers' Association of Toronto,
strives to.provide holidays for some
1,200 children who for various rea-
sons cannot be sent to camp.
Through the country home de-
partment these children are sent
to homes within a radius of 150
miles from Toronto. The Neighbor-
hood Workers' Association pays all
transportation costs' but no board
is paid. Persons living in the coun-
try who have room in their home
for one or two ehildren generously
co-operate with the N.W.A. by tak-
ing city children for a two weeks'
vacation period free of charge.
N.W.A. PAYS TRANSPORTATION
It is not expected that the hos-
tess will lay out any elaborate plan
of entertainment for the child. Any
home that can offer a garden -- or
a nearby green field (practically un-
known to many children who live
in the factory areas); three plain,
nourishing meals a day, and a com-
fortable bed, can be a happy holi-
day spot.
FOR TWO WEEKS' VACATION
Letters of invitation should he
addressed to the Neighborhood Yor-
kers' Association, country home de-
partment, 22 Wellesley Street, To-
ronto. They should state clearly as
to how many children are invited;
the age and sex preferred, and give
details of the best transportation
route, and where the children will
be met; also a letter of reference
from the minister of their church.
All children are medically exam-
ined before leaving Toronto.
Housek .ening
Is A Business
It Needn't Be Hard If You Go
About It Properly
Here are some hints for the in-
experienced housewife. First of all,
don't have anything in your house
that is neither useful nor pleasing
to your artistic sense. Don't buy
more furniture at the beginning
than you really need. The more you
have the mare work to be done.
You can always add later. Another
thing, don't choose furniture that
is only raised about half an inch
from the ground — this will mean
you'll have to shift it every time
you clean, or grovel on your bands
and knees.
ON TURNING OUT A ROOM
Now for the job 0! turning out
a room. Sounds simple — but how
many new housewives know just
how to set about it. First brush
thoroughly all small upholstered
chairs and put them and other eas-
ily carried things out of the room.
Then thoroughly brush all the lar-
ger upholstered furniture and cover
with dust sheets. After that sweep
the floor. If you have a large car-
pet which cannot be taken up eas-
ily, sweep the carpet first. Then
leave the room for a while to allow
the dust to settle. Return and dust
every article in the room, clean the
window ledges, top of the door and
skirtings, also picture rails. Take
down the pictures, dust and re-
place. Polish floor surrounds.
Use furniture polish twice a year
after washing off the old polish
with vinegar and water. Floors, ot
course, need polishing more often—
a lot depends upon the kind of floor
and the amount of traffic over it.
Finally replace small furniture.
Salvage
T', Make Blankets
Women's Institute Passes
.Along Thrifty Idea to Others
There's another bit of economy
that can be added to the salvaging
nearly every ,nue is doing these
days.
Rather than discard old socks,
sweaters, bathing suits and muter-
wear,
nderwear, in fact anything that has a
particle of wool in it, save the gar-
ment for making blankets.
Scarborough Junction (Ont.) We -
mens Institute passes along the
idea to other clubs who want to
have warm blankets made at a re-
duced price.
FOR REFUGEE CHILDREN
By sending twelve pounds of the
woollen scraps to the Northern
Textiles Company at Chesley, Ont -
aria, a bed cover can be made for
$3.00, a saving of $1.25, suggests
the Scarborough Junction branch
president, Mrs. A. C, Redpath. Spe-
cial comtorters in while, cream or
pastel shades require the same am-
ount of remnants, twelve pounds,
and are woven for $4 instead of the
usual $5.50.
As a beginning in having blast
kets made, the group has had three
completed. One was sent overseas
for British evacuee children and
the remaining, two are being kept
for wherever they will do the most
good --• for reinesse ehildren or fa-
milies in need.

Curtains and Draperies Both
Should Relate to Room's Col-
our Scheme
Windows should not only be de-
corative and attractive by them-
selves,
hemselves, but should also harmonize
with the entire room.
Curtains and draperies serve a
variety of purposes; they may also
temper the light, soften the glass
and woodwork, bring color and soft-
ness to the room and windows, and
frame interesting views, give a feel-
ing of privacy, and shut out unat-
tractive views.
Colored curtains and draperies
should relate to the color of the
wall; patterned curtains and drap-
eries should contain something of
the wall color. A pattern that has
from four to six colors may be re=
peated elsewhere in the room and
it may establish a color scheme.
For a room without much pat-
tern on the wall paper, or in books
and hanging pictures, patterned
curtains or draperies give friendli-
ness and interest.
TWO ROOMS MATCHING •
Plain -colored curtains or draper-
ies may match the color of plain
walls, may harmonize with them,
or may repeat some important col-
our in a figured wall and at the
same time harmonize with the rug
and other furnishings.
Twa rooms may be in harmony
if the curtains are the same gen-
eral color in both rooms, even
though patterned in one room and
plaits in the oilier.

Clothes and Cosmetics
British women must "make do."
Cosmetics, silk stockings, house-
hold goods, kettles, clothes — all
the things women in pre-war days
thought essential — have been all
ruthlessly cut for the duration ot
the war.in Britain. And no hoarding
either, Each must do her fair share
of going without.
PRODUCE FEW NON-
ESSENTL'1Ls
The objeot of the new order is to
make more goods available for the
building up of export trade, to re-
lease workers and new materials
for more important war work.
Thousands of men and women
are engaged on the production of
nos -essentials and they will be all
switched over as rapidly as pos-
sible to war work.
In consequence the humble art-
icles of household ware that have
been treated roughly when. plenty
more were available will be respect-
ed now that they cannot be replac-
ed. Women will have to economize
on their cosmetics, and coats and
dresses will have to be "made over"
and do for another season.
