// The Leashed Guns of Circle L by Perry Westbrool< Synopiii Slim Loyale it paroled from prison after terviof 18 montht for a crime he did not commit. He returns to hit Circle L ranch to find hit father dead and sinit- ter forces at work, trying to make him violate hi* parole to that he can again be railroaded to pr'ion. The Brockwellt and their gani; â- re plotting to gain possession of Circle L ranch and the property of Mona Hall, a neighbor and life-long friend of Slim Loyale. Slim discovert that Sheriff Starbuck has joined the plot against him. With the help of Da- kota Blue and hit cowboys. Slim Loyale defies the land-grabbers to do their worst. "Think yuh can pull that stuff an' get away with it, do yuh, knowin' I got a parole hangiiij,'' over my haid that I don't dare break? Well, yuh've made a mis- take tonight. If yuh notice, I ain't packin' no guns. But I got my fists an' yore sure gonna know the feel of 'em. Get on yore feet!" Leo Brockwell stood up, his right hand dropping toward his belt. "Keep yore fists to yore^ self, Loyale," he snarled. "Yo're nothin' but a damn convict out on parole, an' yuh ain't got any rights of decent folks. Try usin' yore hands on me an' I'll short shoot yuh like a dawg. An' nobody'U hold me to account for it." Slim grew very still and white and deadly. The hate he felt for this smart, sneering fellow nearly ehoked him. His breath rattled in his throat. Then he swung. That momentary pause that had fallen on the heels of young Broekwell's words had evidently lowered Broekwell's guard. For a moment he thought that Slim was going to take his scatching re- marks without retaliation. In this he erred considerably. He saw Slim's sudden hunching of one shoulder and knew, too late, that a punch was coming. He tried to duck, at the same time dragging at his gun. Slim's fist swung with all the pent-up rage and sense of unfairness which choked him, landed a little hij^b on Brock- well's jaw. But It had plenty of impetus and power behind it. For the second time that day, Brock- well knew how it felt to be beaten to the floor by the impact of a human fist. Knocked Uncontciout He was not knocked out, but he fell on hi.s right side, with the hand that grabbed for his gun mo- mentarily smothered between Ids body and the floor. Before ha could free it. Slim, literally diving over the upset chair, landed on him. Slim wasted no time. All the bitterness, all the galling shame and indignation he had known through those long months of in- carceration in the Jarillo Peniten- tiary now found outlet. He 8ma.slied at Brockwell again and again. Hroekwull, trying frantically to do two things at onte, namely free his gun and protect himself from Slim's barrage of. punches, lolIed his head in the wrong direction. The point of his jaw connected .squarely with Slim's fist, and he went limp.

He only knew that he had this hated fellow where he wanted him, and that a keen, savage joy flood- ed him every time his flailing flsts found their mark. He was insensible to the fact that Mona was tugging and crying at hini. -And even when Abe For- nachon, at the frantic behest of Mona, grabbed Slim by the shoul- ders and dragged him from his prey. Slim still fought. But the foreman was powerful. Between him and Mona, they final- ly got Slim into a chair, where Mona lelained him by the simple method of sitting on hi.s lap and wrapping both arms about his neck, at the same time plsadlng with tearful words. "Slim!" she cried. "Slim, you don't know what you are doing. They'll take you back â€" back to Jarillo." "They'll Take You Bach" Abe Fornachon, who had been leaning over Leo Brockwell, se- curing his guns, now looked up. There was a queer pain in Abe's eyes as he watched Mona. "Not this time they won't Miss Mona," he said quietly. "Remem- ber; if anybody goes to askin' questions, it was me who hit Brockwell â€" not Slim." These words, more than any- thing else, served to quiet Slim.

But I'm all raw inside, an' that dawg diives me loco! Abe, I'm shore fmdin' out who my friends arc. However, I can't let yuh take the blame on yore shoulders," "Yuh shut up an' be good," growled Abe gruffly. "Brockwell had it coniin' to him. Was 1 in yore place, I'd a been just as red- eyed." With none too gentle power, Abe dragged Leo lirockwell erect and slammed him into a chair, Leo's eyes were glassy and his head rolling-, but consciou,<ness was returning. Slowly the light of complete comprehension showed in his eye.», and his bruised, swollen face twisted into a maslc of hate and rage. "When Starbuck hoars of this â€" of thi.'!," he gasped, "yo're all through, Loyale, yuh damned exâ€"" Abe Fornachon shook him roughly. "Best thing yuh can do is close yore mouth an' keep it so, Brockwell. If Starbuck comes snoopin' around here I'll tell him it was me who whaled yuh, not ' Slim. Now yuh take yore rotten poison off this ranch an' stay off. I told yuh somethin'; get goin'." "Get Going" Leo Brockwell went, with Abe Fornachon in close attendance. As the door closed behind them, Mona awoke suddenly to the somewhat embarrassing position she had taken, and slipped away from Slim, faint color whipping through her cheeks. Slim did not appear to notice her confusion. His head was bent and his eyes staring at the floor. "Mcbbe it'd been best if ho had plugged me," he said heavily. "Seems like all I'm good for now is to be a liability to my friends. Shore, they cain't pack my load forever. Butter I reckon that Starbuck should take me back to Jarillo."

National « Fitness » (Sponsored by the Ontario Secon- dary School Teachers' Federation) CONTAGIOUS DISEASES â€" THEIR RESULTS AND PREVENTION By T. GORDON MILLER, C.S.I. (C) Chief Quarantine Officer. Wind- sor, Board of Health In discussing the results of Communicable Diseases, naturally the first thing that enters the mind of the school authorities is the amount of school time lost. This is really a major point because the lost time applies not only to the patient, but it affects also, in the case of certain quarantined dis- eases, other members of the fam- il.V. While this question also wor- ries the parents to some extent, they are more interested in the physical effects upon their chil- dren. In the case of the milder diseases there is no bad after ef- fect. However in the case of the more serious diseases, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and small- pox, there is a decided risk of some serious weakness resulting. After-effects of Diseases So much for the results of com- municable diseases. Now let us consider what the health authori- ties of your community havo to of- fer In the way of preventive meas- ures. You are all more or less in- formed on the question of ijuaran- tine and let me say this right here, that in many cases quaran- tine amounts to the same thing as loiking the stable after the horse has been stolen. The health authorities of every community now devote much time and effort to protecting the school child against certain specific dis- eases. That their efforts are being crowned with a measure of success is very evident. Take the City of Windsor, Popn. 102,000 as an ex- ample. Up to 1924 the diphtheria case rate per 100,000 of popula- tion was over (iOO. In 1!)25 the DNLYJHE BEST L IS GOOD ENOUGH T T J. This outstanding triumph is proof of quality. Twelve first prizes In twelve classes, in this year's Baby Showsat the Toronto and Ottawa Exhibitions, were won by babies fed on 'Crown Brand' Corn Syrup. What better evidence can there be of the conildcnce which Canadian mothers and their physicians have in the purity and quality of 'Crown Brand.' A dolicioiis table syrup,' 'Crown Itraiid' is a treat for the whole family. Tell the l>oys that pictures of famituf hockey itars can still be obtained for 'Crown Brand' Ciirn Syrup Ubela.

Result â€" the case rate for the last eight years is less than 10. Prevent Spread of Infection The same is true of the con- quest of smallpox. Of diphtheria â-  and smallpox it can be said defin- itely there if no excuse for any child contracting these diseases. There is also a method of having your child protected against scar- let fever but the percentage of children gaining immunity by this means is not quite so high, only about CO per cent. Still it is worth while trying. In all cases however, the surest way to prevent the spread of in- fection in the community amounts to simply this. Be a good neigh- bour. If your child is ill, isolate him at once and call your family physician early. Early recognition of a disease not only gives your child a much better chance of mak- ing a complete recovery but also gives his playmates a much better chance of avoiding the disease. :(6 Vnrdii l/arKe'duIltlas Good* <1.00 About 6" - 18" lengths.
