There has been rustling and other trouble on the ranch, and Sarah is worried. Then, one day, she goes on an errand and /eaves Roy to pay a man who Is com- ing to collect on a bill. Later, when Roy has paid the bill and gone back to work, a masked man creeps into the house, reopens the safe, slips a package of money into his pocket, and slinks away. CHAPTER IX Roy stepped back, grinning at Sar- ah's rage and discomfiture. "I jest told yore foreman that it wasn't healthy to draw a gun on me ma'am. I thought you understood me." He broke the cylinder of her .3S and let the cartridges sprinkle on the ground. Then he handed it back to her, butt first. Raging mad now, she stamped her foot. "Get off this spread! I never want to see you again! You've ruined every- thing! Bankrupt me! If you're not off this range within twenty-four hours, I'll have a posse after you." Roy's lips set grimly. "I reckon that's all right with me, ma'am. I ain't hankerin' to stay on this spread. There's only two human beings on the place, and both of them are Mexi- eans!" He picked up his gun belt and buckled it on. He turned his back and entered the barn. A moment later, he came out astride his paint. For a moment, he sat look- ing down at her, eyes narrowed. "Ma'am, I'm right pleased to have met you, but I'm more pleased to say adios. Far as I care, the Rockin' Ar- row can go plumb to blazes!" Sarah opened her mouth to speak. But Roy had whirled his horse and was riding away. Better Not Wait She gritted her teeth and turned to look at the still unconscious figure of her foreman. She called to Rosa. The cook came with a pail of water. They splashed it over Picos. He opened his eyes and groaned. Sarah mocked him. `So you were going to take him apart, eh? You're lucky you're not dead!" A venomous look flashed in Picos' eyes. "I'll fix that guy the next time I see him!" He got groggily to his feet. She laughed. "You'll have to be a lot swifter at -pulling your gun, then. Es cut your belt before you could even draw.' There was a light in her eyes. Roy had interfered to save her! She thrill- ed at the thought. It was just plain perverseness that had made her send him away. Would he come back? But of course he would! A faint crimson tinted her cheeks. He had not come back this time just to get his warbag. That was just an excuse. He had come back to see her! She was sure of it. "Yuh better think over what I told yuh," Pecos was saying. "I'm buyin' In the Rockin' Arrow and yo're gain' to be Mrs. Glassell or my name ain't Picos!" He grinned crookedly. "I like a girl that's headstrong. I like to tame 'em! Come here and give me a kiss." He reached out for her. She laughed derisively. "Look out behind you! Roy's watching you." The foreman spun on his heel. Then he saw the column of dust that mark- ed the retreating figures of the punch- er and his horse. Sarah chuckled. "Scared to death! I think, Picos, you had better not wait until tomorrow to leave. Roy might come back and decide to finish what he started!" With a disdainful smile, she turned and, in a moment, had vanished into the ranch house. An Outlaw Roy reined his horse into a walk as he reached the slope that led up to the ridge. The breeze, fanning his face, had cooled his wrath a little. Mingled with his anger was real fear for the safety of the girl. He had given Picos a thorough licking, but it would take more than that to knock the arrogance out of him. He reached the lodge and dismount- ed. For a time he sat smoking, his eyes concentrating on the ranch house for below him. Once, his eyes widened with inter- est as he saw Sarah come from the house and stand looking up at his ledge as if trying to make up her mind whether to call him back. Later, he saw Gimp and the Mexican ride into the yard, unsaddle, and disappear into the house. A moment later, Picos came from the bunk house and fol- lowed them. Smoke curled in a spiral from the chimney. It was dinner time.. In the afternoon, he began making preparations to leave. He would be a fool to stay any longer. She had made him an outlaw. The wind suddenly began whistling eerily through the scrub pines in the brush. For the first time, :he noticed a. wall of black clouds sweeping over the range from the south. He had seen clouds of that nature before. This was the spring equinox, the season of torrential rains. He realized that it would be foolhardy to set out until that ominous blanket of darkness had released its tons of water. He said aloud, "Paintboy! I reckon you and we'll jest hole in right here for a spell. There ain't any sense in gettin' soaked to the skin. We ain't goin' any place special and we ain't. in any great rush." Unexpected He unrolled his blanket, pulled his poncho out, and draped it over the roof of his lean-to. He tied the horse with his head and shoulders beneath it, so that he was at least partially protected, and settled down to await the storm. Thunder reverberated through the draws and brush -marked canyons. The range was blanketed with a curtain of dirty gray. Then the rain came, at first in great drops, and finally in torrents. Water cascaded from the lean-to, ran In wide rivulets doA from the ledge into the gullies and draws, sweeping downward with ever increasing volume. Suddenly, through this torrential downpour, came the slap -slap of a horse's hoofs. Roy's hand dropped to his gun butt. Then, Mescal loomed into view. He almost fell from his horse, "Picos!" he gasped, staggering be- neath the crude' shelter. "He has kid- napped the senorita!" (TO BE CONTINUED) Knitting•. A Fronde forr *e ',Etegienier Always buy sufficient wool tofinish your garmant. Sometimes shades vary a little. Don't try too ditflcnit a pattern if you are a beginner— you'll only get disheartened' Even knitting gives a professional look to children's or women's wool- lies. Eirni wools and a solid pattern. should be chosen for suits and dresses, so that you do not get _a sag- ging skirt. Good coloring shape and careful knitting are telling points in knitted designs. If you are not .an', even knitter choose a boucle yarn.Stitelies 'do;,: not. show up so much. Join 'wool at the end of a row, not in the middle. TCeep.your seams neat by sewing from one knitted stitch to the stitch exactly opposite, Seams ' should be well pressed; but remem- ber that pressing spoils a raised pat - Many knitted sweaters and suits are •finished with' flaps instead of, real pockets; this givers a neat finish. Nev- er add bitty .trimmings to woollies. Make sure they suit the style before being tempted to try "odd" buttons. Knit washable garments at an easy tension to allow for slight shrinkage. .Tiny embroidered flowers give a'par- ty look to a child's knitted frock. Where instructions are "given for 34 -inch bust and No. 9 needles, use a size 8 needle and the garment will then fit a 36 -inch bust. Sew ribbon behind buttons and your knitting won't pull out of shape. To ensure slick shoulder seams, sew a piece of tape 3x/a to 4 inches to prevent stretching. Use a good quality wool and lengthen the life of your woollies. Plain skirts -dead straight and knitted in two or four panels—are fashionable. Where there is a plain edge, knit into the back of stitches to give firmness. Zippers are a smart finish; obtain- able in all colors.

Now a general in the Chinese Army has made himself famous in a similar manner. He is only 40 years old, but his 27 wives have subscribed no less than 40 children to his fold, and, being a good' musician, he de- sires that each of them shall be taught an instrument.

The Horne Corner By ELEANOR DALE A WHITE CHRISTMAS CAKE Variety is the spice of life and spice is the life of the Christmas' cake so in addition to the tradition- al dark Christmas cake, make a light one too this year. Many people vow that they get so much -dark cake at Christmas time that they are glad it only comes once a year. On the other. hand, there are Iots of people who feel that heavy cake is just as much a part of Christmas as are the trees and stockings. Whichever way you feel about it, you can play safe and make both. During the holiday season partici- laxly, it is necessary to make a vari- ety of cakes because besides the tastes and preferences of your own family, you usually have to consider those of friends and relatives.'

Human Test -tubes Pe 'elapmezit of 120 Rabies Will Re Watched And a Detailed. Picture Kept One Hundred and twenty bumau test tubes give scientists at the• Fels Research Institute, Yellow Springs, Ohio, a chance to discover what makes ono baby different from another. Wives of farmers, college profess, ors, lawyers and salesmen in sur rounding counties co-operate in this unusual study of child development beginning with pregnancy, Graphs, charts, photographs and personal observations in 120 little black books give a detailed picture of each child's growth in body, mind and personality, Simultaneously a careful record is kept of child environment —of all the things that happen from birth until maturity. Minute Observations Made Physicians, psychologists, and phy- siological chemists observe the child monthly under the direction of Dr, Lester W, Sontag, head of the insti- tute, which is a unit of Antioch Col- lege; Dr. Sontag explained that every ef- fort is made to let development pro- ceed naturally, without the artificial changes usually associated with a "test tube" experiment. But this de- velopment is constantly' and minutely observed and recorded. Healthier Children Looked For He hopes that eventually the in- stitute's findings will help parents produce healthier, more normal chil- dren, and raise them to be adult citi- zens of the finest type. Dr. Sontag asserted that only the surface had been scratched in the re- search into the effects of parental en- vironment. Every illness, no matter how slight is recorded. X-rays reveal' interrup• tions 'in bone growth. Each new tooth is charted. Electrocardiograms — material and fetal heart beats recorded on a deli- cate machine—posture photographs, all go to complete the picture. New discoveries keep the methods up to date. Study Effects of Illness Studies of growth and development factors make it possible to measure the effect of illness, poor eating hab- its, rickets, or eruption and quality of teeth, and general health. Data also disclose any relationship which may exist between fetal heart rate and movement and such factors as sound, maternal fatigue, smoking and emotion. Already the fetal heart rate has been shown to be influenced by maternal smoking and the fetus has been found to move in response to certain sounds. But, according to Dr. Sontag, it will be 10 to 20 years before the black books are complete and the main re- sults of the study can be determined. Two• Fruit Crops Following a long, hot summer and a "golden autumn", raspberries and cherries in the Province of Poznania, Poland, have yielded a second crop; while in other parts of the country lilac, elder, and chestnut trees have bloomed twice in the one year.

Coe of Washington, D,C., an agriculture research work- er. Mr, Coe, who dedicates his patent to the free use of the public in the United States, has discovered that a certain enzyme, known as catalase, which is present in the cheese is the agent that keeps rancidity in check. Instead of cheese, he may use this enzyme itself. Keeps Fresh Long Time Besides preserving the oil -contain- ing foodstuffs, a little bit of ripened,, cheese added to cottonseed or corn oil and lard will keep them "fresh" for long periods. Rancidity, explains the inventor of the new oil and fat preserving meth- od, is due to the action of light and oxygen from the air on certain re- active substances in the oils and fats. As a result of this action hydrogen peroxide is formes. It is this pow- erful oxidizer banding with the oxy- gen and light which produces com- pounds in the oils and fats which are responsible for rancidity.. Does Not Affect Taste What the ripe cheese, or rather the catalase contained therein, does, is attack and decompose the hydro- gen peroxide to ordinary water and oxygen before it has a chance to produce any rancid compounds. The amount of cheese added to obtain this preserving action is so small that it does not affect the or- iginal taste of the food. School Uses Traffic Plates. To avoid too much traffic in halls during classes Bosse High School, Evansville, Indiana pupils will have to carry steel plates like automobile licenses when they leave their, rooms.
