MIKE BENTLEY -- wealthy rancher, knew too much about auto accidents. 5 . Ld LAST WEEK: Larry buys new clothes, poses as a cowhand, gets a job on Colonel Miles' ranch. Mon- nie is determined to get rid of him. She plots with Barnes, the foreman, lets Larry try to ride a snaky black horse. Larry fs thrown. CHAPTER wv Larry was on his hands and knees, shaking his head, as Barnes reached him, pulled him to his feet. "Sorry, kid. You're not hurt!" Barnes led Larry to the corral tank, pushed his head under water. Larry came up spluttering, as the icy water cleared his befuddled mind. "I'm all right, how's the horse?" Larry tried to grin, Barnes pound- ed him on thé back. Larry knew he had been framed, put up on a snaky horse, without waraing. He might have broken his neck, might have been kicked and. seriously In- jured, might have got a foot caught In a stirrup and been dragged. He wanted to swing on Barnes, but the hand on his shoulder was friend. Jy. This was Monnie's jdea--her way of paying him back, Barnes was just taking orders. "You'll be all right in a minute," Barnes said, "Guess that saddle don't fit?" "Saddle's all right--So am L" Larry straightened, turned to faco the girl. She was still perched on the top rail, laughing at him. "Cowboy--you need wings!" she i Larry turned back "Catch that black agaln. him this time." Sure To Be A Battle Larry approached the hftse more cautiously the second time. Nostrils distended, ears back, legs wide- spread, the black waited. Both horse and rider knew that this ride would be worse than the first. One would win, but it was sure to be a battle. Larry grabbed the cheekstrap, pulled the black's head close. He set his foot firmly in the stirrup, 'reached for the saddlehorn Then quickly, he swung into the saddle. His right foot found the stirrup, and he was seated firmly before the black head went down. Right arm swinging, Larry took everything the black had to offer. Crashing pitches, spins, 'sunfishes. Larry clung to the saddle as if he were glued' there, black's every move. The black was mean, but he was a smart horse. He knew-when to quit. After a dozen futile attempts to get rid of Larry again, the horse quit pitching, was ready to go to to Barnes, I'n ride work. Larry rode over to Monnie. 7 pick a really tough "Hope you've en- "Next time, one," he sald. Joyed the show--I have!" He dismounted, slipped through the corral bars and walked to the bunkhouse. Barnes came up to the girl. "That boy can ride, all right" "Maybe," Monnie conceded, "but ho still looks like a tenderfoot--or gomeone that has no business being on the Hayhook. He did ride the black, Pete, and without earing him down. Even you can't do that." "I know fit, Miss Monnle. That 'boy's all right. Make a good hand. Don't be too tough on him. You've pald him back for the affair in town, Why not forget it and be friends now? I like the youngster." "So do I Pete--but he's up to something." She stared off into the distance, saylng nothing for a few minutes. - Pete rolled a cigaret, waited. . "Pete," she said at last, "That canyon fence, up toward Bentley's ~--Is that still down?" anticipated the - tif! Jhe'll say something about ft." He Barnes nodded, "Been going to send someone up to work on that for a week. Never got around to it, Why?" 4 © "Put Collins on it. Couple of days digging post holes won't hurt him --1much," "Okay, Miss Monnfe, . , . I'm sure glad you ain't mad at me." Slave-Driven Sweat poured oft Larry Collins, His back ached. His arms ached, His hands" blistered. He tamped the earth viciously around another post. It was a hundred in the shade-- and there was no shade, None ex- cept that little patcli of black un- der the wagon, The mules stood there in the heat, heads down, asleep on their feet. That patch of shade was inviting. So was the water jug, beside the wagon wheel, Larry threw down his tamping bar, plcked up the post hole dig- gers, He sighted the .fence line, slammed the diggers Into the ground. Tho canyon floor, tramped by thousands of hooves, was like concrete. Ten posts, Two more to go, And Steve Clark called him- self a slave driver. Larry smiled to himself. If Steve could seo him now. He knew his sweat-dust grimed, face was almost black. His shirt was wringing wet. And Steve called pounding a typewriter work. Wonde: how long Steve would last at this job? Steve would have quit after the first post was set. Larry worked mechanically, slam- ming the spadelike jaws of the diggers into thé packed ground, spreading the long wood handles to scoop up the loosened dirt, lift. in the diggers out of the ground with their handful of earth, Dig . . . spread . _ . lift.

Never realized water could taste so good warm water, too, Larry rolled a cigaret, stretched out in the shade, his back against a wagon wheel, Monnie . She'd look swell in an evening dress, dancing at the Roof. . .-. She'd -look swell in a house. dress, too, wailing for him to come home at night. But it wasn't worth it. She'd be getting Barnes to send him out to fix more fence--and no woman on' earth was worth digging post holes for. He wouldn't"dig any more post holes, In this heat, not if old Colonel Miles gave him the whole Hayhook. He'd finish up here, go back to the ranch and quit. There were ther ways of checking up on High's accident. How could he hope to find out anything, out here "in a canyon, with nothing around but a team of mules and a few stray cows? He was just wasting time, sticking around here. He rubbed the fire from his cigaret out on the wagon wheel, lifted a spool of barbed 'wire from the wag- on and kicked it down to the first post. The Obnoxious Stranger Two men were riding down the canyon toward him. One of them looked "like ,an ordinary -cowhand. Denion trousers, gray shirt, -black vest, dirty black hat. The other was evidently an easterner, Larry studied the man, as the pair ap proached outwardly he was entirely intent on fixing lence. The stranger wore English rid- ing boots, light whipcords, dark coat, white shirt and a necktie! A wide-brimmed, flat-crowned white sombrero shadowed his face.. He was darkly handsome, and young Larry Jooked up to greet them as they drew rein at the wagon. The well-dressed ,horseman rode closer to Larry, the other remained a lit- tle distance away. Larry caught the gleam of sunlight on a carbine in the cowhand's saddle scabbard. "Howdy, cowboy!" the man in tho white hat called. "Barnes got around to fixing this fence at last. ++ ++ Better put in a gate here, 1 use this canyon a lot, driving down to the railroad." Larry didn't like the stranger's fone. "Barnes didn't gay to put a gate here." "Well, there's got to. be one here." The man was giving orders, "I'm Bentley. Own the place up the river. The Colonel will want that y gate here, too." 8 "If the Colone) wants a gate ere, Bentley," Larry answered, meeting the other man's eyes, "I reckon "he said to the sleeping mules, turned his back on Bentley, went on unrolling wire. "I want a gate In this gap, and by--" "Tell it to Barnes or to the Col- onel, Bentley, I just work here." Something In Larry's voice must have warned Bentley. He swung his horse around, "You won't be working here long. . . . Come. on, Bill" Larry turned to the other man. +. Bill, ., There was something * strangely familiar about this fel- low. He had seen this Bill before. The man brought his horse close to Bentley, and together they. can- tered down the canyon toward the' Miles ranchhouse. Bill. , . . Larry's mind flashed back to that scene on the highway. The man bent over the motor. , . Mary and little Jim. , . ., That's whero he had seen this Bill. This man riding with Bentley was one of the bank robbers, one of the men who had taken his car, Larry was whistling as he turn. ed back to his fence building. "1 was going to quit this job," "now I think I'll stick around here a while. . . . Nice company you keep, Mr. Bentley!" (To Be Continued) The Book Shelf...

New Noses Made +1 Available To All The newest__development in plastic surgery is the discovery of a rubber compaund for the mak- ing of artifical ears and noses which Dr. Arthur H. Bulbulian, Rochester, Minn., calls the most satisfactory material yet devised. The liquid compound is put in- to a suitable mould to dry in the air. It resembles the human ear or nose so closely that it is "not readily noticed unless it is exam- ined carefully," Dr, Bulbulian said.

The Way You Wear Your Hat How You Put It On Makes The Greatest Difference to Your Whole Appearance Some of us realy do know how awful lot of us who don't. Let's consider the various pre valent hat-styles of today, and weigh "up their advantages and disadvantages, ,. HALOS AND FLOWERS The Halo should never be worn nose, a bulging or receding fore- head, lack of chin or a fat face. The halo lays brutyal emphasis on all such. face-faults, It's a real god: gend to the girl with too small a face. The Flower Hat looks just plain silly if perched on top of a large, fleshy face, Don't fall for a flower hat unless you've got the right clothes with which to wear it. PILL-BOX AND TURBAN The Pill-Box, Relic of Edward fan days, It's excellent for people --with narrow or receding foreheads -- for the simple reason that it covers them up. Provided {ts cfrcumfer- ence is not too small and it is worn well tilted forward it can also coun. teract the line of a large nose. Don't wear it if you have a square face. The Turban can.'look lovely on the regular-featured but tends to Jay stress on receding chins and .on over-large noses. Should be av- olded like the plague by the long: faced (as should all high-crowded hats). BRIMMED HATS . The Sailor, Probably the most universally becoming hat of this day and age. It's smart; it's prac. tical. It successfully comouflages a large nose, Its cute little brim throws a glamorous shadow across a pair of sparkling eyes. It's trim and. it's neat and it goes with al- most all kinds of clothes, The Picture Hat, Very becoming to all types of face except tho very small, A boon to the elderly. The Breton looks its best on the regular-featured and on those with determined noses, Should be avold- "ede by the receding chinned. The Sports Felt 1s a safe bet with all suits, tailored dresses and country clothes, Can look extreme: ly smart -- 'or thoroughly dowdy; depending upon the angle at which you wear it. It Costs $42,000 To Kill Soldier 76 Cents In Caesar's Time, Accountant Says In modern warfare it costs from $42,000 to $63,000 to kill a man, compared with about 756 cents in Caesar's day, It was estimated by F. E. Wood, chief cost account- tions and Supply, says a story in the Canadian Society of Cost Ac- at the Canadian Military Institute, "It cost about 75 cents to kill a man In Caesar's time," he; sald. "The cost rose to about $3, 000 per man during the Napoleonic wars; to $5,000 in the American Civil War; then to $21,000 per man in the War-of 1914-18. And in the last twenty years it has at least doub- led, perhaps tripled."
