CHAPT?:U XIX "I say yes," exploded Tisdalc. "1 got money in my poke an' the boys down in Jericho Valley have authorized me to act for the whole (Towd. Let's go an' sec the younj; lady ripht away." That night, behind locl;cd door and shuttered windows, three men met in heated argument in Georjfc Arfhur'.s offije. Arthur himself was attain nervously pacing back and forth, while Sarg Brockwcll and JijcKer .Starbuck occupied chairs. "I tell you," snapped Arthur. "we've ROt to a:t (luick, without a minute of delay. If wc don't, we lose everything. Those herds are nearly to the north end of Jeri- eho Valley right now. Ti.sdalc, the Big llend representative, raved like a wild man v.lion I told him it would cost him and the others n dollar a head to cross the range, but they'll pay in the end. They'll have to, and they know it. "Hut now Loyale is Koing to loan Miss Hall money enough to pay me. We've got to stop that move somehow, and there is only one way to do it. I've told you how. We'd be better off if wc had the Circle L too, but we simply Kotta get the Dot H to get any money outa this deal." People Are On Edge "It's a pretty stiff deal yo're liandin' me an' my gang', Arthur," prowled Brockwcll, his big- teeth showing in a snarl of anger. "Kob- bin' a bank i.s apt to start some- thin' we cain't stop. Folks in this neck of the woods are bcginnin' .to get kinda on edge." "Why sliouldn't they?'' broke in Starbu;k. "Yuh've mes'^ed things up from the fii'st, .Sarc. Yuh won't leave that Vasco stage alone. Yo're so danged gi'cedy yuh cain't see the end of yore own nose, if j> dollar is in the way. "I'm about ready to chuck the whole thing an' pull my freight. Time was when I was a square- shooter. Yuh jaspers dangled a lot of promises an' false bait in front of me, an' I turned coyote. I'm sick of the whole deal." "This is no time to (|uarrol among ourselves or (juit, ' snapped Arthur. "We can still win out â€" big. Brockwcll, that bank has got lo be robbed, and Loyale and Blue have got to he rubbed out. Fur- thermore, we've got to act to- night." Silence fell. Kvcry one of these three realized that they were gambling madly beyond all reason. Yet so deeply were they in the fire already, they could not stop. A wild, reckless light flatned in Starbuck's eyes. "(limme enough men for a posse, an' I'll go out to the Cir- cle L an' arrest both Loyale an' Blue. If they resist an' I hope they will, we'll rock 'em off. If they don't well, I can alius swear they made a getaway attempt along the trail to town an' rock 'cm off anyway, (iimme live men an' I'll make my play. Like Ar- thur says, it's whole hawg or none." Whole Hog Or None Brockwcll licked his thick lips. "Kcno! I'll split my crew. Jigger, yuh can lake half; I'll take the ^esL While yore outa town, I'll npear that bank. It'll be a good alibi for yuh anyhow." "But we don't take all the risk. Arthur, nt daybreak tomorrow mornin' yo'ie due at the Dot H Dot. Clamp that foreclosure on, an' make it .sli k. I don't care how much time of notice yuh've give that Hall woman. Take it back. Rlap that foreclosure on without another day of grace. Savvy?" "Oh, I'll do it," {ii'omi.scd Ar- thur. "V.'c've got to pyramid now ' --push our luck for all we've (fot. That'.^ decidc.l. Let's drink on it." From the lover diawer of his ilrsk, the renegade lawyer produc- ed n wh?skey bottle and three irlanses. And with him drank a renegade sheriff and u renegade cattltmnn. Without further words, rtarljtic.': r.nJ Brockwcll went out into the n'ght. Arth'jr remained and drank and drank un'. il he was dend-.'runk. At Icart, the other two weic fight- ing men, who, in the final show- down, were g.ime to sniff .smoke. But he was the rat, drinking to stifle his innate cowardice, to try and whip his shaking nerves to face the big showdown. Watch the Money Out at the Dot H Dot, Mona Hall was radiant. Sam Tisdale had just laid a pile of bills on the table before her. "There's five thousand dollars, Miss Hall," he said. "There'll probably be a thousand or fifteen hundred more due yuh. We'll make a good count as the herds go through the pass at the north end of Jericho. Yuli can rest happy that we'll rhoot t<iuare with yuh." "Oh, I know you will, Mr. Tis- dalc," she cried. "You don't know what this means. Y'ou can't guess." Ti.sdalc grinned. "Mebbe I can better than yuh think, mi.ss," ho 7.roke in. "Give all the credit to Loyale here. He figgered it out for the both of us." As the three men were leaving, Mona caught Slim by th' arm. Her eyes were starry. "You're the best, deare.-t friend ever, .Slim," .ihe told him. Slim smiled and chucked her un- der the chin. "Me, I'm beginnin' to get tired of that word 'friend'. It's okay for some cases, but in others it's pretty darned empty soundin'. When things are r-c/jared away on this range again, v.e'l! argue that out. Adios! It's plumb good to see yuh smilin' again an' with roses in yore eyes, .Mona." Outside, Slim paused for a mo- ment beside the Dot H Dot bunk- house and called Abe Foriiachon. "Abe," he said, "Mona's got cjiiite a lump of moi'.oy there in the house â€" enough to scjuelch that mortgage. Kinda keep yore eye on things, will yuh? An' if Arthur shows up tomorrow to try an' fore- close, yuh be present an' see that he takes the money an' receipts Bolero-Charm for Juniors! rATTI'KX -in;.;!

At the Circle L, a heavy argu- ment was in progress. Steve Owens and Charley Quinn were sprawled flat on tiic ground be- hind a substantial pile of spare corral rails, their check.s pressed to the .stocks of a pair of WincUes- ters, the muzzles of which bore steadily upon a dark clump of rid- ers. "Yuh jaspers stay put!" yelped Steve. "Yuh start anythin' an we'll shore finish it." "But I've got warrants, I tell 5'uh," came back Jigger Star- buck's voice. "This is the Jaw. Put down them guns en' get some sense." "Yore kind of law has got a busted back around this ranch, Starbuck," retorted Steve. "Best thing yuh can do is pull yore freight. Won't be no warrants served around here." There came a mutter of argu- ment from the posse, then Leo Brockwcll's venomous tones sound- ed. "Aw, hell! This blab makes mo sick. Let's rush 'em. We cain't stand here all night arguin'. Let's spread out an' circle that pile of rails on' show them jaspers they're draggin' a short rope." During the renewed argument over this plan, Steve and Charley got busy immediately. KoL unlike a pair of awkward land crabs, they spraddled backwards, located the corral fence with their feet and slid under it. Then, rising to a crouch, they stole along it. "Yuh git behind the feed shed, Charley," whispered Steve. "I'll hole up around the bunk shack. If they start murderin' that pile of rails, give it to 'em."

Winter can play havoc with our looks, and an ounce of prreaiition is better than suffering a red nose, blue lips and course, chapped hands! Many winter worries are due to a poor circulation. If you suffer from this complaint, get down (o a daily routine of exercise. After your bath, sprinkle eau-deCologne on your hands and rub yourself down vigorously. llpro is a special morning "bath" which will give you a good sciid-oft for the day. Stand In a toot or so of hot water and give yourself a (lUick sponge-down with water as hot as you can stand It. Xcxl, still slandiiiK in the hot water, rub yourself down with a cold sponge. It takes some courage, but is well worth it! Scrub yourself with a tiirkisli towel, then finish oft with a roiigli linen towel. Hands are a soro point in cold weather. Wash them in lukewarm water; never hot nor cold. It your hand.s roughen easily, add a few drops of glycerine to the water. To avoid chapping, rub vaseline over them before going out, and if they are already cliapiied. Instead of washing the hands with soap, use a paste of fine oatmeal and vase- line. Now for your nose! When you have a spare moment, pinch your nose from tip to bridge, then start over again. If you nose still gets pinkish, hatho it now and then with a llvc-|>er-cent. solution of alum and water. To keep the lips frcmi chapiiing, use a lypsyl salve under your lip- stick, and, nt night, smooth in some tissue cream. Write to me if you want confi- dential advice.

WINTER DESSERTS By Katharine Baker There is no dessert problem in the summertime with fresh fruit.s available but it sometimes does jhrurt; the proportions of a prob- lem during the winter.
