On the way Gloster saves the life of a stranger, Lee Haines, from the murderous hands of a scoundrel by the name of Joe Macarthur. "Joan" lives with an old recluse, Buck Daniels, presumably her father, in a ranch house. One night she slips away and rides to a schoolhouse several miles distant, where a dance is in progress. On the way home she carries on a romantic conversation in the shadowy thickets with the outlawed Harry Gloster and then rides away at a gallop before Gloster can approach her Gloster goes to the schoolhouse, takes a pretty girl away froni her fiance, John Gainor, and goes off the floor with her. Gainor considers ways , and means of revenge. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The whole room was buzzing with it. The orchestra labored in vain at the animated strains of "Que viva la rumba," for the diancers were lagging at their work and busily exchanging murmurs and glances. On the farther side of the room the half dozen men who had been directly insulted by Gloster had gathered in a close group. And for these John Gainor made. The ground was plowed. He had only to drop the seed with a few words. "What shall I do, boys?" he asked. "Take this for a joke, or go out and tear into that fellow? What's his name? Who is he? Friend of any of "Slick stranger!" said big Bud Lane. "That gent ain't one that works with friends. He play: And if it wasn't for Nell, I'd go out and bust his head wide open for him." "That's it," nodded Gainor sadly. "I don't want to offend Nell. I dunno what happened. He must've hypnotiz- "That's what he done. I seen how fast he was talking," put in Lefty. "There ain't any honest man that can talk as fast as he was talking. A gent don't get thoughts that quick." "I'm going out to hr ~ him," declared Gainor. "I'm coming along," said Bud. And the rest with a resolute clamor, crowded along, while a hush fell over the dancers and the orchestra increased its pace to rush the piece to its Outside passed the little impromptu ;m and rolling a cigarette. Gainor nembered that tale, and he moisten his dry lips. where were Nell and th< this catastrophe had been a slight twitch of the body and shoulder of Gloster. He now stepped over the prostrate Andrews and faced John Gainor. Gainor did not like fighting because even money cannot avoid wounds. Nevertheless, he was not a coward. And if ever a man had reason to fight well he had it. And around Gainor, with a rush, The blows plunged through thinnest] r. Harry Gloster had stepped with! amazing lightness to the side and now another light dancing step brought him close in. His feet were firm planted, his body loose. Suddenly it contracted. Body and head jerked iffly halfway round and a bony fist jarred against Gainor's jt John threw up his arms, left his feet, described a perfect half circle, and landed on the back of his neck, his fell length away from the where he had stood. To the honor of the other five, be] it said that they would never have imposed such odds upon any matter what a villain. But they had no choice. They were assailed by dodging tornado, so to speak. They struck at the midst of that bulk, and their fists either bit the or else glanced from a raised shoulder brawny arm. And in return they received a machinegun fire of blows which were like the hammer of a double jack against the steel drill When Harry Gloster stepped out of it two more men were down. And of the other three, two were gaping and wild eyed. Only big Bud Lane had not been touched. At him drove Harry Gloster, high on his toes with little swift dancing steps so that he seemed to float the ground. But the other two threw themselves between. A piston thrust of the left hand and one went down with a gasp. A jerk of the right and stalwart Lefty crashed at the very feet of Bud Lane. But the battle now had swept to the grip of Bud himself. He was no dancing fighter. He did his best work with the foeman inside his arms, and that was where Harry Gloster fount', himself. He had not time to strike again. A semi-jab landed on Bud's ribs and felt to him as if he had grazed a projeet-i ing knob of granite. But the pain f-jgj.! merely made him exert himself, and The "posse" passed to the foot of the steps and went by the sheriff himself. "We're all right, boys," declared Gainor as they went on. "Sim Harr-gess passed me the wink. We can go the limit with the big stranger!" "There they are!" whispered some And to the shocked and astonished eyes of John Gainor there was revealed the following picture. Beneath a tree not twenty yards away sat Nell and the stranger, brazenly facing toward the moon, and that cruelly clear white light showed them leaning close together--mortally close. It could not be, and yet it indubitably was true, that the arm of the around Nell, and that her head was back against his shoulder, and that she was faintly smiling up to him with eyes half closed, sword of fire was struck through the heart of Gainor. The big man leaned, i head of tawny, shaggy hair ob-red the face of the girl. He had kissed her! John Gainor found himself walking alone toward the place. He had covered half the distance before the first;--- rl of rage abated. And he slack-j ^nen .uh,e exerted hmlself he __. | resistible. When May Christie, whose novels and articles are read all over the North American continent, reaches an impasse with characters in her novels, she "sends them on an Atlantic voyage," to use her own words, because their tangles are unravelled on the ocean.

And the story of how Bud Lane wrecked Murphy's place when he was 'short changed there was a tale of Homeric qualities.

They paused «j short distance away as Gainor stepped ^t i forward again and stood before the guilty pair. Nell sat up with a little cry. She looked around her with bewildered seeing eyes, and then suddenly threw her hands before her face. But Harry Gloster arose leisurely and faced the other. After all, he was not so tall. He seemed much larger when he was considered by himself. In cold fact, when compared with another, he was hardly than six feet. John Gainor thrilled with surprise to find that he was looking almost level into the eyes of the stranger. "I--we've come out to have a little talk with you," he declared. n a busy man," said Harry Glos-bamelessly. "But go ahead and do the talking. Gainor bit his lip. "Most like," he said, "you ain't been to many dances?" Considerable some," admitted Glos- Which you don't seem to know what's manners on a dance floor." Harry Gloster sighed.

"I sure hate 'em." The damned pup!" exploded Gathered in that bear hug, Gloster swayed a moment and then they went down together. It was what Bud wanted.

Another whirl--best time I've had in ten years--" Bud Lane sat up, dazed and unhappy with wonder, at that moment he saw the'sheriff himself step into with the long and glistening form of a six-shooter in his hand. "Son," he said to Gloster, "you've id a nice little party out here I figure that maybe I'd better take you to town where you can have a nice little rest!

Prehistoric Eggs Found Japanese Dig Up Those of Iguanadon in South Manchuria Dairen.--Twenty-one fossilized eggs of what Japanese scientists say was the prehistoric iguanadon have been recovered from under twenty feet, of drift deposits north of Dairen, where the South Manchurian Railway was excavating for bridge work, near the town of Chuantou on the Tatzu River. The eggs, which are from two and le-half to four inches in diameter, „.-e said by Dr. H. Murakami, chief geologist of the Dairen Geological Institute, to be in the neighborhood of 10,000,000 years old, and to be ur questionably .those of the iguanadon, mammoth reptile somewhat akin to the dinosaur, whose eggs were found several years ago in Mongolia by Roy Chapman Andrews. The iguanadon, a cold-blooded type of monstrous lizard, i3 said to have ged from twenty to thirty feet voice from the background. "Lemme talk to him!" "Did I hear you cussing out r asked Harry Gloster, smiling. "You sure did!" cried Andr pressing , the fore.

The Duke of York since hi riage has insisted on this rule being observed and King George makes the same requirement. The Prince has had definite evidence lately that certain well-to-do people have paid to become his fellow guests. And he has now made rule that in future when he has for believing that people have paid money for this purpose he will not meet them or the people who received the money. CUSTOM OF LONG STANDING In such cases as have occurred the money has been paid to persons of high social position who frequently meet the Prince but who are not well These people would for sideration" arrange to send well-to-do and socially ambitious people an invitation to meet the Prince. This practice prevailed in the reign of King Edward, who never objected to it. He took the view that the practice benefitted his friends, as it certainly did--£10,000 was then what might almost be called the market rate for an invitation to meet the monarch at a country house and £20,000 wai the price for an invitation to meet th< sovereign with Queen Alexandra. Kingj Edward stipulated, of course, that th< persons asked to meet him in this way should be of good reputation and sonably good position and socially presentable. King George, however, neither as Prince of Wales nor as sovereign, has ever lent his countenance to this practice. The present Prince intends to follow his father's example. In future any person taking money in exchange for an invitation to meet the Prince will be blacklisted at York House, aa well as the ones who paid the money, ANOTHER "BLACKLIST." No one, however, is likely to be blacklisted at York House for an of-j fence that caused several persons to be blacklisted at Marlborough House in j a former reign. The effense was that of undue familiarity with the heir ] apparent. A well known society woman--she is still alive--was a guest at Sand-ringham. King Edward, then Prince of Wales, had a large folding screen j in his writing room on which he past-] ed autographed photographs of his different friends. It took him more than thirty years t;> cover the screen with photographs, one of the first of which was that of James Buchanan, President of the United States, whom I the Prince had met when he visited America almost on the eve of the Civil War. The woman in the incident was piqued because the Prince had not asked her for her photograph to put on s screen, and after dinner she went to the Prince's writing room when i was not there and put her photograph on the screen. That act ended her acquaintance with the Prince and Princess of Wales. The present Prince of Wales probably would regard such an act as a joke. He can take quite good care of his dignity. In the ordinary course of his life no one is ever unduly familiar STANDARD OF QUALITY FOR OVER 50 YEARS MAKE BETTER HOME MADE BREAD U.S. Tourists Big Spenders Ottawa.--An estimate of the United States Department of Trade and Commerce places the amount of money spent by visitors from the United States to Canada in 1927 at $206,-000,000. Canadians who visited the United States last year left there $51,-000,000. In 1927, 3,154,000 United States automobiles were admitted to Canada for touring purposes, an increase of 52 per cent, over 1926. The argest increase was in cars admitted for one day only largely as a result of the opening of the n at Fort Eri An interim payment of $1,511,950 was paid recently by the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Coarse Grains Pools. Eight cents per bushel was paid on oats, except a few of the lower grades, and ten cents per bushel on all grades of barley, flax and rye. This brings the price paid to date, on oats up to 58 cents per bushel, barley 75 cents per bushel, rye 95 cents per bushel, and flax $1.75 per bushel, basis Fort William, Ontario^_ For Rheumatis Minard's Liniment.
