SYNOPSIS
Barsy'Haveril leaves his Texas
hag's to see the country, meets a
man who has just been shot who
trams out to be a cousin of his,
Jesse Coproy. Barry helps take
care of his wounds and Jesse
gives Barry his "gun, a Very en -
usual one. When they part Bar-
ry leaves for home but finds the
family is no longer there. When
the is leaving he suddenly cornea
acrose a dead main who turns out
to be this brother Robert. Barry
starts searching for the murder-
er,
urdser
ere and gtoes� into the mountains
to find gold' to use .tor continuing
Isis search. He finds. a i good
epot, gets gold and goes to Tylers-
vilLe to get money for it. There
Ilse • meets Judge Blue and. his
d'au'ghter. Lucy, wrhto help him to
get $450 tar the gold. Judge
Blue also tells him that the gun
See* gave him is the gain of a
niurdleuted known as the Laredo
Kid.
He bought as mudh •am'mu'nition for
his six-gun as he thought fro could
canny handily, then a plain cartridge
belt which he filled and buckled
'around him, and then turned to a
gum Tack that had caught hie eye. He
took dtown• one after another of half
a dozen carbines, fitting. them to :his
sthoulder, pondlering the heft of them.
The -One he finally selected' went out
'with datm; so too did a second cart-
ridge belt filled with shells for it.
When he came to a Point oppos-
ite the ha,rdwaa+e store, he noted that
a crgwd of men had gathered -there.
there.
A big man,. powerfully- shouldered,
with a holstered' gun at each abtp, el-
bowed through the press. saw Barry
and shade a purposeful bee line to
(him. His two big thumbs were hook-
ed into his, belt.
"Where do yuai think yuh're go -
in(?" he, asked bluntly.
Berry looked at him. "Who're you
that's askinr?"
"I'm Edo Brawley, an' I'm sheriff
here, an' I'm askan' where pub, got
that gun!"
"It's mine," said Barry.
"Yeah?" said Browley good Chum-
toredly. -1 Weli, s'pose yule come along
with me; well squat an' chin about
things. Come ahead! "
Barney nodded a.'nd swung into step
with him; with the crowd eyeing
them they were just tenting into a
narrow Ir^aume building with the sign.,
Sheriff's Office, painted over it, when
Barry slaw the buckboard with the
two beaming 'bay's swing around a
corner and come speeding down the
street.
"Just a minute, w5theriff!" he said.
"I've got some business with the
Judge." '
The Judge saw him and pulled up
in such fashion as almost to set his
two bays on their haunches. Barry
stepped into the road and with one
hand on a Wheel looked up into the
Judge's steady leaf -brown eyes.
"I forgot to pay for for my lunch
todayi; Judge," he said. "How much?"
The. Judge laughed and said,
"Shucks," and them, -seeing the look
in Barry's dark eyes, no less steady
than hits own, said, "I gave the man
a dollar." -
Barry, fishing a'mo'ng coins in his
'Pocket, brought forth a stilver dollar
anti proffered it; the Judge, whip
and reins in one hand, .extended the
other and accepted the money.
"There's one more thing," Barry
added. "I guess you can tell me
where I can find' my folks..My
father's Ben Haveril, and nay sister
Lucy mmrried Zachary Blount and-"
"Well, well!" exclaimed Judge Blue.
He turned toward the sheriff. "Haven't
got my young friend, here in tow,
have you, Ed?" he asked blan'd'ly.
"Sort of," said Brawley, very blunt.
"There's some ques'tdona---"
"About that gun of ..this maybe?"
suggested the Judge. Brawley wtod-
dei. "Weld, then!" said the Judge.
"There's more guns, than one with
a fancy butt, Ed. How about turn-
ing this young mare over to me? I
ley drew back t to the sidewalk.
"Go 'heads," he said briskly; and
to the Judge: "III take, yuh up on
thet supper invite, Judge. Got the
same cook?
Neves in his life had Barry trav-
elled with• suet breath -taking speed;
he began too think that horses were
all right after all. They came to the
wide open gate. ' It didn't miss two
inches. Then .the big .bright house
loomed above them; the horses kept
en around to the right and were pull-
ed up again, in front of a stable that
might shave been a hotel.
Thhe Judge threw Itis reins and
sprang dlowna nimbly, areas, outstretch-
ed to -.Miss Lucy. he jumped into
them with that gay little laugh of
heats that was all tinkly music.
But Battey did not hear it. He sat
rigid where' he was, making no move
to get dlowm,
°`ward, young Haveril," called the
Judge, "Light down and make your-
self at home." Stil'l Barry sat, as in
a daze. The Judge Looked at him in
'perelexed fashion' as did Lucy and
thte two men: "Wgll, Haveril?" said
the Judge again. "What's up? You
Rook ldkeu'-
"O'h!" staid' Barry and climbed down
over the wheel hem
"Anyth•ing wrong?" demanded Judge
Blue.
"No, sir," said Barry. "I just sort
of got to thdnkinag, that's all."
And he 'stili was thinking as he
followed the Judge and Lucy into
the cool, imposing white palace
brimmed in its bright bluebird blue.
He knew • that queer things did hap-
pen now and then, but he had never
known a queerer than this: Here in
Judge Parker Blue's stable was Tex
Humtpthrey's fancy saddle from which
his brother Robert had been shot.
The saddle looked at home here, too,
with a man shining it up,
"You youngsters amuse yourselves
for a while without me," . said; the
Judge, "I'll be with you shortly."
"When are we going out to the'
�rauch where my folks are?" asked
Barry.
"Right after supper, son. Mean-
time you can see your sister; I'll
send a man with word that you're
here."
"Do you want me to slirow you
around the place? The flower gar-
den and the vegetable patch and the
corrals and banns"
"Yes," said Barry, and added, "I
liked your• stable."
So first of all site carried him a-
way to the stable. Barry led the
way inside, stalking straight to the
,harness room where the man who
had been doing something with a
saddlle was back .at his work.
- "That's a pretty fine saddle," said
Bantry.
Lucy, nicking it for the first time,
said; "Why, it's the loveliest saddle
I've ever saw! Whose is it, An-
drew ?"
"Belongs to a stranger," said An-
drew, "The Judge mebbe knows
him. He come in late las' night,
ehanged waddles account the cinch o'
this .one belle' ready to bust; rode on.
Said [he'd be back tonight"
"A man ought to have a pretty
fine 'horse to match up that saddle: -
suggested Barry.
Barry.
"Let's go see it," ' invited Lucy.
"Is it in the corral, Andrew?"
"Lt must be that one," said Lucy
pointing. "Tbat high -headed black
with the white saddle marks. It's
not one of ours I'm sure."
Barry didn't slay anything. Lucy
was right. Thai was Tex Hum-
phreys' pride among , hie saddle
horses. That was the horse which,
only a few days ago, had carried
Robert Haveril to his death.
The Judge hada scrap of paper in
hes band. He waved it toward Bar-
ry, saying as he came on: "I'm sor-
sa you won't be able to see your sis-
ter today, young Haveril. There was
a note on my study table, sent over
by Zachary Blount; the went' to
Pride's Valley tliis morning on -a bit
of business for me, something ' that
'looked fume about the deed to a new
ranch I just bought. He took his
wife along. But they'll be back to-
morrow or next day."
Something was wro ng and he knew it.
know all 'about his people. His
father and brother are running my
new place for me; his sister Luety
is mamraoed to my assistant Zech
Blount, and s'h'e and my Lucy are
like two sisters. I'll .be responsible
for him, Ed. If you like, you can
ramble up to my. palace and talk
things oler with hian. Say, come up
for supper ! "
The siheriff looked doubtful. "If it
was anybody but you, Judge-"
The Judge laughed. ',"But it hap-
pens to he me, Ed." To Barry be
called cheerily; "flop up, Haveril
There's room here for the three of
um"
Barry looked at the sheriff; Brew -
Barry was looking at tibe horse
again.
"You're looking at some high class
horse flesh theme, Haveril," said the
Judge.
Barry noddled. He wanted to ask
about• that high -headed black, but
hesitated. Blind insutLnct, subtle in-
tention -he didn't know what - made
shim move as cautiously as all his
true kindred, forest wild things mov-
eil.
Lucy asked, "Who's the' stranger,
Daddy, that owns that one? He's
got the most gorgeotrs saddle I ever
saw."
The judge looked the horses over.
"That black?" he said. "Oh, yes. It
belongs to a young cowboy who
node in late lest night. He bad to
go on and asked to leave his horse'
here until he, came back. Where'd
you see his saddle?'' he asked.
"Andrew was fixing the cinch. It's
a fancy Mexican saddle, and An-
drew gave all the silver work a pol-
ish; it hurts your eyes to look ah it."
"Let's go to ehte hteuse," said the
Judge. "Lt's most supper time."
But It was not supper time, and
they Loafed comfortably on the
shady front porch looking down
over Tylersviltie.
"How far its it out to the ranch
where my folks are?" Barry asked
without withdrawing his expression-
less gaze from theMelting distances.
"It's inside thiry .'miles," said the
Judge. "That little span of mine
will do it in less than three hours.
We start right after supper."
But they didn't go right after sup-
per,, nor did they go at all. The three
weee dining at a long table that
would have seated a score when a
man rode up from Tylersville for
word with Judge Blue. The Judge
went out to him, and returned al-
most immediately. "I've got to see
a man in town," he said. "Go ahead
with crupper; I'la finish when I get
back. I ought,to be with you .in half
an hour."
After an 'hour of waiting Barry
was more the sniffing bear than ev-
er. Lucy had' conducted him to a
pleasant room where there were
bcokis and a piano and sofa and easy -
chat, , land 'alt first had chattered
like a magpie... She had sung for
him a little too, and at first he. had
listened euraptt and had looked at
her admiringly, thinking her the
daintiest and sweetest and cleverest
little thing in the' world.
When the Judge's voice said,
"Sorry, I'm so late," both of them
jumped for they had not heard him
come in. He tossed his bat to the
piano top and looked at his watch.
"We'll go first thing in the morn-
ing. All right, young Haveril?"
Ten minutes later Barry was alone
in ,his roomt. He extinguished his
lamp and went to his window; he
stood there a long while looking out
at the dim bulk of the mountain un-
der the stars.
Something was w'ron'g and he,
knew it. It was no longer a mere
uneasy, suspicion but a positive cer-
tainty. "I reckon no one., will hear
me now," decided Barry, a n d
crawled out through the window,
dropping noiselessly to the ground.
Ike stepped softly through the
dark, making a guarded circle of the
house to assure, himself that the
roams were all dark. He reached
the stable. Near the big double
doors was a bench undler a tree. He
sat down and waited. He slid his
hand! down to the butt of the new
six-gun; he dozed, started wide
awake and dozed again a dozen
times before the soft beat of shod
oofs stiffened him into alertness.
He saw the dark form of 'Irian and
horse coming on from ,beyond the
stable, single silhouette di m
against the mountain flank.
The rider came down with a sub•
clued jingle of spurs at the stable
door; he was whistling softly and
didn't turn Barry's way, Wthen he
got the door open and lett the horse
inside, Barry rose quietly and fol-
lowed,
When the lantern at the harness
room door was lighted and swung
up on a nail Barry saw that it was
Jesse Conroy.
"Hello, Cousin Jesse," he said in
a quiet voice.
(Continued Next Week)
CLEAN OR SAFE MILK ?
There , is great need to emphasize
the distinction between "clean" and
"safe" milk. The public is confused
and even misled' by terms which seem
to imply all the values and yet carry
no guarantee of "safety." These mis-
leading term's are "accredited milk"
and "standard milk," which enjoy
more or less official recognition al-
though neither the one nor the other
is. "safe."
Milk from tubercuhin-tested cows is
supposed to be sale as far as tuber-
culosis is concerned. Such, is not al-
ways the ease. There are cases
where tuberculin -tested cows, certi-
fied as tuberculosis -free, have had
tuberculosis.
Olean milk is desirable. Milk that
is,, free from dirt, from adulteration
and which is ordinarily- pure is a
minor condlition in . comparison with
a milk that is free from disease. Milk
shoulkl not only be clean, but it
should be safe so that if used by
ourselves or our children, it will not
carry such diseases as tuberculosis,
undulant, scarlet or typhoid fevers,
septic sore throat, diphtheria or the
summer complaint that still takes the
lives of thousands of children who
are obliged to use raw milk. There
is but one universal protection against
milk -borne disease. This is pasteur-
ization. To be effective pasteuriza-
tion must be 'properly carried out.
The milk should be heated to a tem-
perature of 145 deg. F., kept at this
temperature for 30 minutes and at
once cooled to a temperature of 40
to 50 dreg. F., and kept at the latter
temperature until used. Treated and
kept in thief way mink will ma» ntain
its sweetness and purity indefinitely.
The great ocean 'liners passing be-
tween Montreal and Liverpool com-
monly take on a supply of pasteuriz-
ed milk and cream on this' side of the
water which is sufficient to carry
them across the Atlantic anti, back
again. There is nevem any trouble
with sour milk. No disease follows
in the wake of milk treated in this
way. Pais eurized milk is the ofily
safe milk for old and young" '

Amongthe most uns'elfis'h of the am-
bassadors of peace and faith who gave
their lives to the apostolic work in
Canada was, Isaac Jogues, Jesuit
priests f invincible courage, whose ex-
perie es as au Indian eaptive rival
any tale of horror ever told,
Fat r Jogues was born in Or-
leans,
leans, France, on January 10, 1667.
He was baptized Isaac, a prophetic
name, ie view of the fact that he
would' one dray be a sacrifice for .his
.faith a nnew, hemisphere. When
he tear years old, Isaac was en-
tered into the new Jesuit College at
Orleans. Seven years later he was
,admitted as an initiate of the Society -
of Jess -the Jesuits as they are pop-
ularly known -at Rouen,
The youth's1 character, This .sensi-
tivity d zeal in his studies and his
general fortitude marked him for - a
relligio s career of .promise. At La
Flec • where he later studied phil-
osloph' Menard, 'Demarche, Dela-
place, Quentin and Adam, all later. to
partic ate in the promotion of
their faith i'n' Canada, were tris col-
leagues. But at this tirne young
Jogues was fired with the thought of
going to, Ethiopia on mi'ss'ion labors.
However, in 1629, When, he was, as
sign to teach at the College of
Rouen,he met Father Charles Lale-
mant and Father Brebeuf, both of
,whom. had recently returned from the
New Jogues became acquaint-
ed wi them and listened eagerly as
they told of the red tribes of Amer-
ica.
Wh n Isaac Jogues was twenty-hve
years old his. superiors took him from
his teaching and sent him to Paris
to continue his studies at Clermont'
College. Not until 1636 was he or-
ttaine to the. priesthood; in the same
year, by virtue of the qualities which
lie long displayed as a student
and t her, he was selected to join
the missions., im Canada.
lin 1524 Verrazano, a Florentine
navigator, had made a voyage into
the N w World for Francis I and had
cruisedalong the eastern seaboard of
North America; upon has expedition
Fnam made her initial claim to a
ported of the Americas, Ten years
later expbored the 'buil of the
St.L Lawrence River and sometime
later ruined as far asi the present
site o Montreal. When the French
did establish a colony in what later
ibeca Canada they were in 1628
surprti d by the English and expell-
ed.
However, when they re-establ'is'hed
themselves, it was Champlain who, by
his di �ooveries and explorations, laid
the is for "New France," an em -
etre comprising the lands drained -by
theYSt Lawrence and Mississippi Riv-
er systems. It was also Champlain
who, his zeal to dt•edp,his allies, the
Alga uin•s, made for the French im-
placable enemies of the Iroquois na-
tions,
Whn Father Jogues arrived in
New France in July of 1636 a chain
of six tiny mission stations. was al-
ready established along the thousand -
mile front from Cape Breton to Lake
Huron To work among the Huron
tribee nsumbening at that time some
20,000 incidents, the Huron Mission
had established .On the 24th
of Au u st, 1636, Jogues was sent out
froom Three Rivers on the St. Lawr-
ence on his first assignment to the
HuronMission.
With his companions' the young
priest travelled in a frail birch canoe
in which he had to sit barefoot in an
unc fortab!e position. and hardly
;stir, s great was the danger of cap-
sizing. His food was a little Indian
corn, crushed between stones and
boiled in water without salt. On the
journey he slept either on the ground
or on some shelf of rocks. Since he
could not talk Huron and his guides
could mot talk French, silence was
mai. tined perforce. After nineteen
days f arduous travel the party
reached lhonatiria near the Georgian
Bay Lake Huron where five priests
w.e•re a.lreatdy established. Here Fa-
ther ogires was first initiated into
the hardships. and privations of the
Canadian missionary's life.
A eek after kris arrival the young
priest fell. ill. and nearly dried from
some mysterious disease. When he
finally recovered the began to study
the language of the Hurons as the
$rst toward winning the Indians'
contfid Ince. But tfie fathers never
forgot the 'put pi:SP for which they
had come: they taught the catechism
and simple prayers and' baptized con-
verts..

`Wh n disease came to the tribes
they fought it. as well as they could.
In contrast to the local medicine
nr(en's barbaric ways of driving devils
out o the sick the few remedies and
the ny prayers which the priests
toffelre eeeu ed surprising results. ;
and asthee succeeded in driving out
the scourge they succeeded in intro-
ducing the tenets of Christian faith.
Indeed, Indians frorm other villages
were soon ,asking for •Che fathers to
come and 'help them.

Hurons• were overpowered -and Father
Jogues and his companions' were tak-
en prisoners.
Att this point begins a story which
thas rarely been equalled in all the
bloody history of persecutions and
tortu.es.
The prisoners were taken lit a
southerly ddreotion toward the • Mo-
hawk country. At every village they
were compelled to run the gauntlet,
that is, to run between two files of
Indians armed 'With sticks and clubs
and whips, a kind of 'diabolical re-
ception reserved for prisooners. At
night they were spreadeagled on the
ground and bound hand and foot.
They were imrable to stir, 'their
wounds were left unattended and be-
came putrid., • vermin attacked them
on all sides.
In addition, they suffered unmerci-
ful beatings. They 'had their nails
torn out of their fingers and Father
Jogues had several joints of his fin-
gers chewed off by the savage cap-
tors. In one village they deliberately
sawed off his left thumb. Besides,
his old wounds were constantly lacer-
ated to make them pada. and bleed
afresh and the hairs of his head and
beard were pulled out.
In ever way' as cruel as their eiders
were the Indian children; Ito were
encouraged to torment the prisoners
by sticking awls into their bodies and
by throwing hot coals and cinders on
them.
Through all these fiendish, tortures
Jogues conducted himself aseheavely
as he could', always alert to bhptize
the dying and forever conscious that
only by an example of his own forti-
tude could he .hope to win these sav-
ages to an appreciation of the creed
which he represented.
When the Iroquois had, ..tired of
their sport ,they divided the prison-
ers among themselves. • Jogues was
gbven to several families as a serv-
ant and was aeedgned the task of
euttiing wood for the fires, .a chore
ordinarily the Indian woman's.
From A i, 1642, until March of
1643, the. pro , miraculously triumaphr
ing over • wounds and the daily
tortures devised for him, lived among
the Mohawks. Faith in his mission
and an indomitable will kept his mind
whole as he was forced to witness
tortures inflicted an other captides.
As staon as he could he wetrt about
his missionary work among his mas-
ters as though oblivious to this excel-
tbonally dangerous position.
In the spring his captors took him
east on one of their trips into the
country of the Dutch, who then ruled
what was later to become the New
York area. By aid of the Dutch com-
mandant at Rensselaenswyck, later
Albany,• and with the helrp of a Protes-
tant 'minister, Jan Megapolensis., an
escape was planned. To appease the
Mohawks, who charged them with
complicity. the Dutch paid a ransom
of three hundred livres and even
then had to keep the priest in hiding
for six weeks.
At last, however, he was put on a
Dutch vessel and was shiPPed down
the Hudson and out across the ocean.
He arrived at the Jesuit College :n
Rennes on January 5, 1644. So great
a change had his cruel experiences
wrought in him that hie Superior did
not recognize him when the appeared.
But he did not remain long in
France. In recognition of his eer-vic-
es, rhes church granted him a special
dispensat.iom to performs the Mass,
otherwise canonically impossible be-
cause of the mutilations which the
Iroquois had inflicted. Then he took
ship for New France again, eager to
continue his work.
In the meantime the Mohawks had
come to Three Rivers and Chad made
their own peace with the French- To
ratify the treaty and to found a mis-
sicn among them - to be appropri-
ately titled "The Mission of the Mar-
tyrs"-Jogues was chosen to go into
the Iroquois country,
He was su•oee"isful on the first trip
to ratify the treaty. But w -hen, in
October of 1646, he returned to the
Lroqu.ois country to winter among the,
savages, he found them hoetile to -
walla him. While the cooler (heads
among the Indda4's advised caution,
others, notably of the Bear clan of
the Mohawks, were irate with him
because of his escape from their
hands two years before.
Soon Jogues was taken prisoner
and .the tortores began again, al-
though some of the Mohawks pro-
tested in, td's favor. 'Thea' oa the ev-
ening of October 18, 1646, she was

headed. His 'head was impaled on

dtterrs of the Cross perhaps accom-

however, difficult to see how any

It is not so long .ago ,•siatce 'Matte

Canadian agriculture, paints out Wr
P. Watson; Live Stole Branch, Qne
tario Department of Agriculture. Cons
editions have changed very materially
during the past ten years and hogs -
are now looked upon as the does Of
live stock that. pays the tastes' and
meets the interest on. mortgages; in
fact, !hogs. are one of the biggest fae-'
tors in our natiohal and international
trade. As a ,consequence, any refer-,
ence to the 'swan industry in Ontario
would be ineosnplete and 'inadequate
without some reference to the indus-
try as a whole as it pertains to the
Dominion. ' '
Hog marketings in Canada are
somewhat irregular and seasonal.
Heaviest marketings always occur
during the latter part of the year.
As a matter .oaf: fact over 50 per cent
of our hogs are marketed in the'
months firom September to Decemlber
inclusive:
Lightest rune invariably occur dur-
ing ,Judy and August, when market-
imgs frequently reach the low point
of 40,000 hogs per week. It is esti-
mated that our domestic requirements
amount to approximately this figure.
During the fall .mozsths marketing's
often reach 100,000 head per week.
The increase between the low month
and the higth month is often over 100
per cent.
Because of this fluctuation in mar-
ketings, Canada is often , placed in
the position of having only enough
hogs for her domestic requirements
in the summer months and, having
Large exportable surpluses during the
late fall months, with, similar sur-
pluses during the spring months.
It is rather significant that hog
prices have been below $8 per cwt.
on a few occasions since 1933, and
speaks volumes for the efforts of the
British Government to rekulate :mF
ports. I.t is alto worthy of note that
1 og prices have been at least $3 per
cwt. higher in the summer months
than in the fall months,. This in-
creased price should be ample com-
pensation to the man who can and
does raise winter farrowed litters
which, will reach market during times
of peak prices.
Fluctuations occur weekly and
sometimes within a period- of one
week. This condition is undoubtedly
and indication that competition ex-
ists among packers for the purchase
of hogs. The regrettable feature a-
bout it is that it is a contributing '
factor in many hogsgoing to market
at improper weights. Fluctuations in
price are not as violent as fluctua-
tions in marketings.
It would therefore appear that
greater regularity of marketings will
be necessary if price fluctuations are
to be reduced, concluded Mr. Wat-
son.
