"I don't sahe the eddirntlon part of
It" blie answered " J cut wlmt does
tlud mean? I don't tvnnt to go to
school with Q lot of kids who'll laf

"You don't have to As pardners"
Sand) went on earnestly “I don't
mind tollin' you that the Three liar

can't cash In any till the Increase of

Not till lifter the fall round-up any-
way So yore eddlentlon'II have to be
jut off a hit Meantime you'll learn

colt or two between meals an’ rldin’
herd on the dirt When you start In
It'll be at one of them schools In the
East where they make a speshulty of
western heiresses How's that sound?"
“Sounds fine On'y you've pleked
up I fiid's hand to gamble with Mehhe
It ain't yore game nor the one you'd
choose to play If It wasn't torced on
you"
"Sister" said Sam "yo'rq sklnnln'
yore hides too close Sandy ’ud
gamble on which way a horn-toad '11
spit It's meat an’ drink to him We
won this ranch on a gamble — him
playin’ He gambles as he breathes
An' whatever hnnd he plays me an’
Mormon harks Why if we win on
this minin’ deal we’re way ahead of
the game secln’ we don't put up any-
thin' In cold collateral It's a sure-
fire rlneh"
"Sam says It" backed Sandy "One
good gamble!"
Molly fumbled at the walsthnnd of
her one-pleee gown working at It with
her fingers producing n golden eagle
which she handed to Sandy
"That's my luck-piece" she said
“Dud give It to me one time he
cleaned up good on a placer claim
Nex' time you gamble will you play
that— for me? Half an’ half on the
wlnnln's I sure need some clothes”
The glint of the born gambler's su-
perstition showed In Sandy's eyes as
lie took the ten dollars
“I sure will do that" he said “An’
mighty soon Now then talk’s over
all ngreed Sam an’ me hns got some
work to do outside Won't be back
much before sun-down Mormon he's
golu’ to be middlin’ busy too Molly
you Jest acquaint yorese'f with the
Three Star Riders won’t he back till
dark No one about but Mormon I’e-
dro the cook an' Joe Rest up all
you can I’m goln’ to bring yore dud
In"
Tears welled In Molly's eyes ns she
thanked him Agnln Sandy snw the
girlish frankness change to the grate-
fulness of a woman's spirit looking
out at him between her lids It made
Mm a little uneusy The men went
out together walking toward the
corral
"Sam nn' me's goln’ to bring In
what’s left of I’at Casey' Mormon
We’ll take the btiekboard with n tarp'
to stow him under Up to you to
knock together a coffin an’ dig n gruve
under the cottonwoods an' below the
spring hit Joe to help you ’ No sense
In h itln’ the gel see you of course'
Mormon rounded up the half-breed
Joe to help him dig the grave first
locating Molly In a hammock he had
slung for her In the shude of the trees
by the cistern
The soil was soft and clear from
stone An hour sufficed to sink
shaft for I'at Casey’s last bed Mor-
mon carefully adjusted the headboard
he lmd fashioned from a thick plank
to he carved later when the lettering
was decided upon This done he
buckled on the belt he bad discarded
from which his holster and revolver
swung Sandy carried two guns his
partners one habits of earlier more
stirring days toting them as Inev-
itably us they wore spurs though
there was little occasion to use them
on the Three Stnr save to put n hurt
iinlmal out of misery or kill a rattle
snake
Moisture strenmed from Mormon's
fuee patched Ills clothes ns the heat
and his exertions temporarily melted
some of Ms superfluous adiposity lie
wiped his face with his bandanna
Suddenly his big body stiffened He
beard Molly's voice fronj the cistern
frightened then storming In anger
Mormon ran at a sprinter's gait from
the cottonwoods’ along a side of the
corral through the trees bordering
the cistern The girl was out of the
hammock facing a nmn In riding
breeches and puttees bis face con
cealed for the moment by his hnnds
A sleeve of the girl’s frock was torn
away the outworn fabric In stream
era The man's hands came down
and Mormon recognized him for Jim
Pllmsoll owner of the Good Luck pool
parlors In the little battle town of
Hereford where faro chuckaluck and
craps were played In the back room
owner also of a near-by horse ranch
There was Mood on his fuee the
marks of finger nails
I'liimioll Jumped for the girl rnught
her by one arm roughly She strug-
gled fiercely silently striking at him
with her free fist Mormon's gun
flashed from Its sheath as he shouted
at the man Pllmsoll wheeled releas-
ing Molly His dark face was livid
with rage a pistol gleamed as he
plucked It from beneath the waist-
band of his riding breeches The turf
spatted between bis feet as Mormon
tired
“Got the drop on ye Jim I Nex’
shot'll be higher Shove that gun hack
Now then" as Pllmsoll sullenly
obeyed "what In h— I do you Agger
vo're doin'" Mormon's Jovlnl face was
tense Ida voice stern and cold
Keep still" he ordered walking
toward the pair his gun covering
Pllmsoll the cheery blue of his eyes
hanged to the color of lee In the
shade the pupils mere pin-prieks
Molly glanced at him once fingers
caressing her bruised arm
“He kissed me while I was asleep
the d— d skunk!” she flared "I'd
sooner hev rattlesnnke-pizen on my
lips!" She stopped ruhldng the arm
to scrub fiercely at her mouth with
the hack of her hand
‘It nin’t the first time I've kissed
you" suld Pllmsoll “Yore dad didn't
toiyne from doin’ It I didn't notice
you scratching like a wildcat either
Where’ll your dud? An I where do you
come In on this deal between old
friends?" lie demanded of Mormon
"Her dad's dead” said Mormou sim-
ply “Molly Is stayin’ fo’ a spell nt
the Three Star Sandy Iiourke Sam
Manning an’ me Is lookin' out fo' her

PIImsoH’8 thin-lipped mouth sneered
with his eyes
“Gone In for hnhy-fnnnlng hnve

The leer suddenly vanished from bis
face the tip of libs tongue licked his
'fps Mormon’s gun was slowly coin-
ing tip level with his heart steady ns
Mormon's gaze finger compressing the
trigger
“The law reckons you n man — so

England
seemed to hove helled any correlation
of the statement concerning the deuth
of the girl's father until now
"It that’s true about your dad" he
said "I'm sorry How did he die?"
Sensing the hypocrisy of the shift
to sympathy the girl took a step for-
ward Mormon's pupils contracted
again his finger Itched to press the
trigger it touched
“It's none of yore business" said
the girl "Y’ou git"
“None of my business? I don't agree
with you there you little h— 1-vvensel
Your father and me had more than
one deal together Y’ou and I may
have to do business together yet Molly
mine!"
Molly’s teeth showed between her
parted lips her fingers were hooked
Mormon anticipated her Indignant
leap His gun spurted fire the expen-
sive Stetson liroadrim seemed lifted
from Pllmsoll's hair by an Invisible
hand With the report It sailed for-
ward side-slipped landed on Its rim
perforated by a steel-nosed JS-caliber
bullet
“I give you last warnin'” roared
Mormon
Pllmsoll sprang nhond like a racer
nt the sinrter's shot snntched nt his
hat missed It let It lie ns he ran on
to his horse mounted and went gal-
loping off' Monnon holstered his gtm
and swung about to Molly standing
with crimson cheeks blazing eyes nnd
a young bosom turbulent with emo-
tions “I wlsht you'd killed him I wlsht
you’l killed him!" she cried “I wlsht
I hnd a gun— or a knife 1 I hate him!
When lie says he wns ever In a deal

and that wns all He purtended to

punted “1 burned the d— n thing thnt

"Call me Uncle Mormon Molly He’s

Patting Molly's shoulder Mormon
smiled at her with Ids Irresistible
grin nnd she reflected It faintly ns
she tucked In the remnants of her
torn sleeve
“That's the on’y dress' I got till
Sandy Rourke wins me some money’’
she said
Ills arm around her shoulder pur-
posely chatting away Mormon led
Molly toward the ranch house Film-
soil's horse was stirring up a dust-
cloud on the way to Hereford other
puffs far away toward the range
proclaimed thnt the buikhoard was
on Its way with Its funeral freight
The body of the old prospector wns
lowered Into the grave with the last
of the daylight Molly Casey walked
away nlonc her head high the corner

"Y’ ou-all are awful good to me" was
all she could trust herself to say
Ench of the Three Musketeers of the
Rnnge felt a tug to take her In his
arms nnd comfort her Instead they
looked at one another as men of
their breed do Sam pulled nt his
mustache Mormon rubbed tfoe top
of Ids hnld head and Sandy rolled a
cigarette and smoked It silently
Molly nte no supper that night Re-
fore dawn Sandy thought he heard the
door of her room open nnd soft foot-
falls stealing down the stairs When
he went Inter to the spring he found
the grave covered with the vv'ld
blooms that the girl hnd pleked In
the dewy dawn
CHAPTER IV
Sandy Calls the Turn
It was a week after Pllmsoll's dis-
missal from the Three Star premises
thnt one of the riders coming back
from Hereford with the mall brought
rumors of a new strike nt Dynnmlte
The man said that Pllmsoll had
stated that he expected to go over
to the mining camp In the Interests
of claims located by Patrick Casey
In which he had a half-interest by
reason of having grubstaked the
prospector
“There's the thorn under that
saddle” said Randy io Mormon
"That's what Jim Plimsoll meant by

"Count me In on thnt" snld Sum
“Mo too" said Mormon
“Can't all three leave the ranch at
once" demurred Sandy
There cnnie the noise of the riders
going off for the day's duties Inld
out by Sam noting foreman for the
month Sandy got up and went to
the window turning In mock dismay
“Here comes that Railey female"
he announced "Young Ed Rnlley

A tinny machine In need of paint
short of oil braked squcnklngly as a
horn squawked and the auto halted
by the porch steps Young Ed Railey
slang one leg over another dispropor-
tionate limb glanced nt the windows
rolled a cigarette nnd tit It Ills
aunt tall gmint clad In starched

scended strode across the porch and
entered the living room her bright
eyes darting all about needling Molly
taking lu every detail
"Out lookin’ fo’ a stray" she an-
nounced "Ited-nn' white heifer we

No ni'ni we ain’t No strange

nt Molly who wns flashing under the
Inspection of Miranda Bailey maiden

Dnuhle-Dumhell ranch He fancied
the missing milker nn excuse If not

tunity for a visit to the Three Stnr

"Let me mnke you 'qnnlnted with
Miss Railey Molly" said Sandy This
Is Molly Casey whose dad Is dead

Molly started for the door The
woman checked her with a question
"How old air you Molly Casey?"
The girl turned her eyes blank her
manner charged with Indifference thnt
unbent to he polite
’Fifteen" And she went out
"H’m" said Miranda Rnlley "fif-
teen Worse'n I Imagined"
Sandy's eyebrows went np The
breath that carried his word might
hnve come from a refrigerator
You goln’ bnck In the flivver?" he
asked "or was you aimin’ to keep a-
lookin’ fo’ thnt red-an’-white heifer?'
Miranda sniffed
"I’m goln’ soon’s I’ve said some-

“More shame to you You’re one

"No m'm I nlu't Thnt's been my

Miranda's snlfT turned Into n snort

been moistened with kerosene theu
place the cover on top of tfie cloth
Renew the wetting once In two weeks
Try wiping the screens with kero-
sene where flies gather and come In
every time the screen Is opened- This
will keep the flies away and If the
kerosene Is used In small amounts It
Is not objectionable Once a week re-
peat the process 1
Where several find It necessary to

be carried and returned all together
saving trips bck and forth The bas-
ket may lie only useful or exceedingly
ornamental ns one desires but It will
be found a great convenience A large

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
Add a slice of onion to the tomato
when first put on to stew then remove
It before ready to serve
Q A layer of fine sawdust
VbJ r plnced on the floor before
laying linoleum wdl add
to Its life and make the
surfuce much softer to
stand upon This Is es-
pecially a wise treatment
for a kitchen floor where
the feet get very tired
from much standing and walking
When washing glassware place It In
the water edgewise as set down on
the bottom It often cracks from sud-
den expansion
Darn the worn spots of the stair car-
pet w 1th wool of the same color being
careful to match the color The spots
will scarcely show
Some dress goods are hnrd to press
For such gowns hang them over the
bathtub or lu tlie bnthroom turn on
the hot wnter nnd shut the door and
windows tightly nnd let them hang
for two hours then open the room
nnd let the garments dry In fresh air
llnnglng a gown over a hot-nlr regl
ter for nn hour or more will often
freshen It wonderfuly If badly wrin-
kled Here Is n good home-made break-
fast food which Is worth while trying
on the family Take three-fourths of
a cujiful of flour three-fourths of a
cupful of graham flour mix well add
hnlf a teaspoonful of salt nnd water
nnd cook to the consistency of mush
Serve hot with a few dates nnd cream
and sugar
A little tartaric acid the crystals
dissolved In n little water will remove
any fruit stains quickly Wash the
bunds well after using
A roast of meat should always be
served on a plutter large enough to
enrve It easily nnd never sene It
with gravy If you care for your linen
Burn cinnamon or a few cloves on
the top of the stove to purify the air
after cooking cabbage or onions
A lump of sugar added to the rinsing
wnter will stiffen fine organdies and
muslins
11am Is delicious baked In milk
Also with potntoes nnd milk os escal-
loped with a slice of bam on top
To remove egg stains rub with com-
mon table salt
Add tomato catsup to the sauce In

None of the Inquiries came to any-
thing the mystery simply grew deep-

Mrs Myrtle It Hayes a “financial

Indicted on a charge of forging the
name of Charles M Schwab the "steel

the purse strings of hard-headed busi-
ness men by the halve statement:
"You know ’('hurley' Schwab? He
Is my dear friend He'll hack me for
any amount Why look at tills"
And then she displayed one of two

to stand la-hind her to the ektent of
a cool million nnd another la which
the Bethlehem Steel chairman wrote

ferences of opinion and equally sharp
criticism nre being voiced by barris-

It Is also being pointed out not
only thnt Mr Beck hns been admit-

all the rules namely a barrister must
sstlsfy the benchers thnt le has not
practiced law ns a solicitor n condi-
tion which would keep out Mr Beck
