N. U. R.ELEAS E ffiMS Blackbeard staggered and Con rushed in. THE STORY SO FAR: Forced to run from the law to save his life when he is suspected of being the notorious "Co-manche Linn," Con Cameron is trying to prove his honesty. With his pal, Vear, he is working for Topeka Tenlson, owner of the Broken Wheel ranch. Nevil Lowe, marshal of the neigh-boring town of Tivan, is after him but doesn't yet know that the "Twenty John-son" of the Broken Wheel is the man he suspects of being Comanche Linn. Lowe's sister, Janet, is staying with the Teni-son- They are deeply attached to her, having lost their only child, a boy, when he was kidnaped many years before. On their way out to the ranch after per-suading Tenison to give them the job. Con and Caramba met Monk Irby, one of the Megeath crowd. Megeath and Dud Paramore, leader of another band of out-laws, hate both Nevil Lowe and the Bro-ken Wheel outfit. In the fight which fol-lowed their meeting with Irby, Con knocked out Irby. Then he and Ca-ramba fought ofT more of Megeath's men to protect Janet Lowe. When Mrs. Teni-son sent Con to find out how the "nest-ers,- " the Graceys, were coming along. Con found Mr. Gracey dead and Mrs. Gracey and the boy seriously hurt. To-peka sent Con Into town for a doctor, with Instructions to tell the constable, Janton, and no one else about his suspi-cions that it was Monk Irby who shot the Graceys. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER XV The constable was in a poker game in a corner of the big can-Un- The place was almost desert-ed Two or three such games as that of the constable looked to be of the variety. Con went back to straddle a chair opposite Janton, and when a hand was finished, the lanky constable looked curiously at him. "Don't tell me you already quit the Busted Wheel!" "No. Not yet. I was sent in to bring the doctor and to put a mur-der case in somebody's lap. Yours, rviaybe." "That's the sheriff's bailiwick," Janton said drawlingly. "Hell on murders, Nevil Lowe is." "Somebody's always getting killed in the territory," one of the players drawled. "But, go ahead! Who was it?" "He not only got murdered in a pretty slinking, bushwhacking way, but his wife and little boy got shot " "Gracey!" Janton said quickly, al-most mechanically. "Oh! You already knew about it, did you?" "Uh-uh- . Just knowed damn' well it was bound to come. Well, nothing I can do." "Could you be talked into arrest-ing Gracey's murderer if you found him-rig- in town?" "Where is he, here in town?" "He was heading this way, the last time I saw him. But I didn't see it done. I couldn't swear to a thing." "Best not to talk much if you can't swear to things," that cowboy next to Janton advised him sagely. "Whose deal?" The players laughed. Con shook his head, sighed, and got lazily to his feet. "I believe I'll get a drink and call The doctor looked very tolerantlj at him and shook his gray head. They talked little, after that. Con was becoming more and more con-scious of his soreness. He was glad to swing down in the Broken Wheel yard and take the doctor's buggy in charge. Dinner had been eaten, but Con got a handout from the cook, who asked no questions about his battered face. Then Perch looked into the kitchen of the bunkhouse and with sight of Con whooped shrilly and whirled about. "Gale!" he yelled. "Oh, Gale! Twenty Johnson just come in, pack-ing the Latimer trademark. Why'n't you tell this pilgrim what he might run into, around Onopa?" Goree appeared, behind him. But before he could speak, Topeka Teni-son looked over Perch's shoulder. He shook his head slightly, frown-ing. Con continued to eat placidly, but he was beginning to feel irrita-tion. A corner of Tenison's mouth lifted and he turned to Goree. "We won't wait for the horses from Red Mesa," he said. "I won't hold the wagon, I mean. You take the boys that are ready and pull out. When Johnny Dutch and Skeets and Caramba come in from the Mesa with the horses, the rest of the boys can get fixed up. Now, you got your rep's picked?" "All right," Tenison answered 's nod. "We'll meet the other wagons at Antelope Springs and scatter our rep's. You stay here on the place, Twenty. You, too. Perch." "Huh?" Con grunted, putting down his coffee. "You don't want awful bad. They say Gloomy's prom-ised to wipe out your mark. But from what Monk Irby spewed out, he ain't going to wait for Gloomy!" Con asked the bartender where Gloomy and Monk were. "There's a liT bitsy plazita, just e Mex' houses, on the road to Helligo Canyon. The bunch stops there lots of times. I think that's where they went, yesterday. Watch your step, young fellow!" He went up the bar to serve cus-tomers and Con lifted his glass and set it down empty. Then a rasping voice sounded, almost in his ear. 'Ain't you workin for that damn' Busted Wheel?" Con turned very carefully. When he saw the face thrust out toward his, he made a disgusted grimace and drew back. It was a big man, Indian dark, with shiny stubble of beard from eyes to collarbone. One inky eye was permanently slitted by an )ld weal that slanted across eye-brow and cheekbone and notched the high nose bridge. Thick, loose mouth shone bluish-re- d against the black of his straggling mustache. He wore no shell belt, but high on his hip, under an old coat, was a stubby Colt. His hand was on it. Con's gun was in his waistband, un-der his shirt. He flashed his hand up and inside his shirt and out again. The big man was jerking out his pistol, but Con thought triumphantly that he had beaten him. Then from behind him a hand knocked down his Colt, struck his arm again and the gun roared as it fell. He took a heavy blow in the back that drove him for-ward. Instinctly, he clawed at the me on roundup ! 1 certainly would like to " "Got plenty. Somebody's got to stick here," Tenison told him curt-ly, turning away. To be left here as a sort of chore-bo-was bad enough, but to be left because Tenison weighed him against other men, and classed him as a weakling by Wheel standards, was far worse. He went toward the corrals, eyes moodily upon the ground. Then from the house Mrs. Tenison called him. "I'm glad you're going to stay with us," she said, smiling at him. "1 asked for you, but it didn't seem that I was going to get you. Gale thinks a lot of your roping. But you're staying and that pleases me. son. For, with all the trouble we've been having You know, of course, that Megeath intended to carry off Janet the other night. I'm glad you're go-ing to be around, son." "I'll play bulldog," Con assured her evenly. "How's the hospital, by the way? That boy all right?" "I'm going to keep him in bed for a while yet. He developed more fe-ver. The only way we could talk him into lying quiet was to tell him you'd ordered it." "He minds what I say because he thinks I'm your mother," Mrs. Teni-son said, with a soft, strange little laugh. "And he looked at Janet and called her "Mis' Twenty" and said all right; if you had told us to tell him to be quiet, he would!" "I'm certainly getting fixed up with a family, now!" Con cried and telt that he was flushing and won-dered why he should be. "She's a line girl, Janet," Mrs. Tenison sighed, as if speaking aloud. "Her mother was the best friend I had and Janet was born right here. She s a pretty girl and a fine girl any way you think of her." "Yes," Con admitted, "she cer-tainly seems to be that. I never saw a girl to touch her. And her brother " He stopped short, wondering how much he was supposed to know about the Territory. Mrs. Tenison only nodded. "Nevil is a fine boy. Much of a man. I could wish that he wasn't sheriff." Con thought that he had talked as much as was safe. So he agreed that a good man had been needed and "thought" that he was wanted at the corrals, where Goree and oth-ers were. Goree put him to work, helping to load the wagon with supplies and equipment. (TO BE CONTINUED) tall man's thick wrist, caught it and twisted savagely with all the strength Of powerful shoulders and wiry arms. Con fell into him and clung, lifting his feet off the floor and kicking viciously backward. He felt a heel strike something soft and heard a groan. Then his toes touched the floor again and he kicked the big man on his shin. The grip on his arm relaxed slightly and he snatched free, to rise on tiptoe and swing a long right to the cheek. Blackbeard staggered and Con rushed in. He slid back as the big figure crumpled, began to turn to get at the second man, and felt the impact of an almost knockout blow on his jaw. "He sure does set up nights to hate a Busted Wheeler, Latimer does," one of the voices said "But if it hadn't been for that nephew of his helping him, there's one Wheeler would have killed him first crack out of the box. He beat Latimer to it, only that boy knocked his arm down. Lati-mer had his hand on the cutter, too!" Ccn sat up so abruptly that men bent over him jerked back out of the way. Automatically, he put his hand inside his shirt and groped for his Colt. Hands helped him. He peered around and the bartender pushed over his pistol. He spun the cylin-der to see that the loads were in-tact, let down the hammer upon an empty chamber, and shoved the gun into his waistband. He stood sulkily for a moment, but the doctor took him by the arm and moved him toward the door. Riding beside the doctor's buggy, going out of Onopa, Con asked about the Latimers and was told that they had been in the country less than a year. Latimer had a small outfit between the Broken Wheel and Hel-ligo Canyon. "Ah!" Con said softly. "Be'.ween 'the Wheel and the Canyon." 'That's what Topeka thought! The first time he found Latimer wander-ing around the Wheel side of the line, he called it a natural acci-dent. But the second time it hap-pened, he and the boys with him escorted Latimer across the line and invited him to stay there. Lati-mer has hammered every Broken Wheel cowboy he could find, since then. You're the seventh or eighth." "Why, maybe I'll be the last one, then. If that nephew of his hadn't hit me from behind, today, the Lat-imers would have been holding lil-ies, not guns." it a day." He ate breakfast in Carmelita's, among other early risers, cowboys and freighters and prospectors and those men of Onopa who had stores or other businesses to open. Janton came in, alone. When he saw Con at a vaeant table, he slouched over to sit down and grin. "I don't want you should think I don't give a hoot about murders," he said genially, "just because 1 never got worked up about Gracey. Us that's been around here a long time naturally, we know things you don't. Now. Gracey, he was al-ways just begging for a killing. He drank coffee noisily, squinting, shaking his head. "You know nothing personal! but some folks might say you coming in with this tale about Monk Irby murdering Gracey was all part of a scheme to put Monk out of the way. Because Monk and Slash was awful good friends and Monk's a danger-iu- s man. any way you take him." "No. No, you're wrong about that." Con disagreed placidly. "I'm not a bit more afraid of Monk than 1 am of of you, Janton, and you need your two barrels of buck to make me nervous. Well, I've got to take the doctor out and report to Topeka Tenison about what you said and did." The constable moved uneasily, but said nothing. Con paid for his break-fast and went out. He walked slow-ly toward the doctor's house, puz-zling Janton's manner. He met the doctor, hurrying along the street with his bag. "Be an hour or two before I'm ready," the gray little man panted. "Been up since four." "I think " Con told himself with some pleasure, "that now I've got time to look around for Mr. M. rby And if he should want to re-member me, goodness forbid that I out anything at all in his way! But nowhere in Onopa could he find Monk Irby. He asked no ques-tions, merely looked. cantina he found that In the big bartender who had served hfm and Caramba.

Webster's diction-ary lists more than 2,200, begin- - ning with overability and ending with overzealousness. Chapped ripe olives with the merest dash of garlic make a pun-gent filling for small white bread sandwiches to be toasted and served with cocktails. Strained honey, heated and mixed with soft butter and a dash of cinnamon and cloves, gives a delicious flavor to toasted muf-fins, hot waffles or pancakes. A stiff wire brush is a great aid in keeping the burners of a gas or electric steve free from crumbs. A little candied ginger, finely chopped, gives zest to a fruit cock-tail, salad or sherbet. It also is good added to whipped cream and used to top puddings. Be care-ful to use just a little of it, how-ever. Copper flashing around pipes, dormer windows and the edges of roofs never needs painting. But copper is now on the priority list.
