The big ranchers bring In nothing. Brand could name a dozen men who had one. It only showed he had the weapon handy. Turley had a habit of occasional absence. The boys had joshed him about it, hinting at an unknown woman. When Jeff rode up to the cabin on Turley's claim he found two other men there with the homesteader. One was Dave Morgan and the other Bill Herriott. "What's new?" Bill asked after the first greetings. Jeff dropped the bridle reins to the ground. "A heap of things," he drawled. "You'll be surprised. First off, the Diamond Reverse B is quit-tin' quit-tin' business. Sellin' out lock, stock, and barrel." "Who to?" Herriott inquired.

Jeff's eyes had not lifted from Tur ley as he told this bit of news. "You think they are headin' this way?" Morgan asked. "I wouldn't know. Do yore own figurin'." Brand's hard, shallow eyes still held fast to Turley. "What would you say, Jack?" Turley was disturbed by the steadiness stead-iness of that regard. "Why, I wouldn't know, Jeff. Chancer are there's nothing to it It doesn't sound anyways reasonable. But maybe I'm wrong. What's your idea?" t "I haven't made up my mind for sure. Thought I'd wait till I heard from you." "From me?" Turley's startled face showed more than astonish ment "Why, how would I know?" "I expect you know a lot we don't, Jack," Jeff answered, his voice om inously gentle. He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Herriott. "Take a look at that Bill, and pass it on to Dave. It was found pinned on Black Yeager's coat. The gent who killed him left a sample of his handwriting. I don't reckon you recognize it." Herriott frowned d6wn at the paper, pa-per, shook his head, and passed it to Morgan. ' Morgan said, "Can't prove a thing by me," and passed the slip to Turley. Tur-ley. : As Turley looked at it, a gray-green gray-green pallor spread over his swarthy face. "I . . V don't know . . . who wrote it." he mumbled, and looked at Brand, despair in his eyes. "I do." Jeffs voice rang out crisp and hard. "We've found the killer. boys. He's standing there with the naDer in his hand that he left on Yeager's coat." "No . . .. nol It's not true." Tur ley culped down his terror, to fight back, v Watching the trapped man's fear-filled fear-filled face, Morgan realized that Jeff had found the guilty man. "Better talk. Turley," he advised ominously. "Talk fast if you don't want us to believe Jeff." "While he is talking you and Bill search the cabin, Dave. You might find money. A lot of it . He's been playing poor. Let's get wise about that" "From a chalk-dry throat Turley offered an explanation. "My folks sent me some money, boys." The two men walked Into the cabin cab-in and began rummaging among its contents. In a straw tick they found a rip, through which their exploring hands brought a canvas sack. In the sack were four, packages of greenbacks. a lot of Texas ex-peace officers to round up rustlers and kill them. Terry ob-Jects. ob-Jects. He sets the owner oi his ranch to offer Its sale In small parcels to small ranchers, in his opinion, the day of the absentee owner is past. "Must be nearlv two thmiRan dni. lars here," Herriott said. 'Five hundred arjiece." Jeff's voice was cold as a mountain stream fresh from a glacier. "They pay fine, don't they, Turley?" 'You've got it wrons. Jeff." the killer croaked hoarsely. "I wouldn't ao mat to boys I had bunked with. Don't you know I wouldn't?" "Come clean," Morgan snarled. Who hired you?" "Nobody. That money came from my folks, like I said. Boys, I been your friend. You wouldn't" His voice died away in a quaver. "You're bucked out," Jeff , said evenly. "You're going on a long journey. Starting right damn now." The man looked round from one to another. His glance slid back to Jeff. "Thing to do is -. . . talk this over," Turley began, and stuck. There was no mercy in these im placable eyes. You didn't give Buck or Black or the other boys a show for their white alleys," Jeff told him. "You don't deserve one either. But I'm giving you one. Bill and Dave will keep out of this till I'm through. It will be one of us at a time. Don't keep me waiting, you" The guns came out together. The roar of them was almost simultaneous; simultane-ous; But not quite. Jeff was the quicker by a fraction of a second. Turley spun round from the shock of the bullet, clutched at his heart, and pitched forward full length. After a silence, Morgan said, "That will be all for Mr. Turley." "What will we do with thfs blood money?" asked Herriot "Jim Tetlow left a wife and three children," Brand said. "Take it up Fisher Creek to her, Bill, when you head for home. Fart of it is the price of her husband's death. The other boys weren't married. It will come in handy to feed the kids." Jeff thrust the revolver back into its holster. "I noticed some Flying V C horses down the trail a way as I came up. We'll rope one, tie the body on it and send it home with this carrion on its back." . . "Fine! " Morgan ripped out a malevolent mal-evolent oath. "Telling sthem their' killer has come back to report." Bill Herriott left for Fisher Creek on his errand to- Mrs. Tetlow. ,The other two rounded up the bunch of Flying V C horses, roped one, and brought it back to the cabin. They found a cross-buck pack saddle in the barn and cinched it to the animal. ani-mal. The body was made secure to the cross-buck oy a lash-rope interlaced in-terlaced about the load. Jeff threw the diamond hitch expertly so as to absorb any slackness that might arise. Meanwhile Morgan penciled a note. They had to drive the packhorse many miles, to be sure it would reach its destination. On Saee Hen Flats they met a cowboy. He rested in the saddle, his weight on one foot and on the thigh of the other leg. "Where you headin lor: ne asked. . .. . Just maverickin' around, Jen told him. "Know anyuiing new: "Not a thing. Little while ago l saw John McFaddin. They crossed the tableland into a hilly country where they gradually wound down toward Johnson's Prong. When at last they came suddenly sud-denly on three horsemen at the foot of the draw, Brand noticed instantly that they were strangers. Swiftly he said to his companion, "Don't start anything." The strangers were watching them, their horses motionless. "Some freight for McFaddin and Collins." Jeff called. "Seen 'em?" After a pause one of the men said, "Yes." "Fine. Turn it over to them. Be seeing you later." Jeff wheeled and led the way round the bend, then went to a can-tpr. Someone shouted to them to stop but they kept going. They heard the pounding of hoofs behind them. Just before they disappeared over another hill a rider showed at the head of the draw. He shouted again, then fired, too hurriedly for accura-cy. accura-cy. "This way," Morgan called to his companion, and slid into a hollow between be-tween two rises. The country was a huddle of lulls, nnri inside of a few minutes their pursuers had completely lost them. "Who were those fellows?" Morgan Mor-gan asked. "They're mighty quick to burn powder. I'll say that' i "Yes. With few questions asked. "Must be warriors of some of the big outfits." "Yes, but not cowboys." Brands eyes were shining with excitement "Part of this army the Republican was tellin about." Morgan pulled up his mount "Hell! It might be that-away. We d better find out for suret and ii it's so get word to the boys." "Just what I'm thinking, Dave. Let's scout around and find out how bjg a bunch of them there are." They talked it over together, then made a wide circle to strike Johnson's John-son's Prong from the pines above. (TO BE COSTISUED) (Bell Syndicate WNU Service.) The Questions 1.

We are all talking, arguing, quarrelling too much just now, listening too much to reports and opinions which pour from our radios. Yet we all want two things peace and security for all peoples. w; By KATHLEEN NORRIS HY not be one of the few, few women who are not talking too much these days, and see how refreshing it is to your soul just to be SILENT? We're all talking, arguing, quarrelling; too much just now; reading too many newspaper news-paper and magazine articles, quoting too many things half-correctly, half-correctly, listening much too often and too long to the often valueless and incorrect reports re-ports and opinions which pour from our radios. Some of us think that if Britain loses this "war the world will be lost. Both sides have always thought that in every war. Rome of us think that our best way to help ourselves and eventu ally Britain is to maintain Amerl tea's traditional independence of Eu ropean politics. Some of us believe that America is strong enough to say she WILL help the little starving democracies with food, rather than meekly as irtit it she mav. Others fee! that temnorarv wrong must be done to the innocent to hasten the day of victory and peace for all. Even Families Are Divided. Some of us believe that practical It every person we know is a Com' munist Bundist Nazi-ist, pacifist, isolationist interventionist, spy, anti-Semite, appeaser, war-monger or Dlain idiot Families which have been long united are divided now; voices which have always been gen tie and gaod-natured are raised in anery dispute. This is the first-fruit of war, that it shall penetrate even into the qui' etest homes and bring the misery of its great hates and fears with It When a great war bursts it scatters its fragments everywhere, and there is no escaping them. But if the members of your family and your close friends and the as' sociates you see every day are hon est; if each one of them truly believes be-lieves what he says, then try your best to understand or at least to forgive without understanding, the difference of opinion which seems to you so stupid and so perverse. Workers Always Needed. "Bill can do anything with his hands," a young wife said to me the other day. "and I'm an experi enced cook. You don't know how safe it makes us feel!

We lived once on io a week, and we could do it again. and raise the babies, vn, don't mean that it would be all easy'" said this little philosopher courageously, "but there'd be lots of fun and excitement along the way, and in a country as big and as rich as ours we know eventually we're all going to emerge Into a Golden Age." "With courage and youth and capability ca-pability like yours." I thought "you haven't anything to fear!" America has nothing to fear She'll solve her own problems, and presenUy be called upon to help solve the problems of the world. For we all want two things today: peace and security for all the peoples peo-ples of the world. This is an axiomatic axio-matic truth; there should be no need to state it. And yet we lose sight of it when we begin talking. The peo ples Of Russia. IWiy. .ngianu, France. Germany, and our own people, peo-ple, want only these two good things. BATTLE OF WORDS War flames rage in many European countries and their heat cause emotional blood pressures of Americans and others,- to rise when they try to discuss fault, effect and so on. Miss Norris cautions wom en in particular, to talk less and listen more. To remember remem-ber that no amount of argument argu-ment can change the other's view, no more than their own. She warns that divided opinions opin-ions between families and friends, when expressed too often and with too much certainty, cer-tainty, causes trouble - that could, easilvhe .avoided with a little restraint, to the great benefit of all. War touches all homes and all peoples, and she advises prayer and work as the antidote with a great measure of silence, when a discussion grows too warm. She unites all the peoples of the world under a common banner when she writes, "All want peace and security, se curity from hunger, enforced idleness, social injustices and security from war, that is peace.

There is great hope, there is a glimpse of God's eventual triumph in the fact that we are all genuinely and fundamentally in harmony on these points. And since that is so, will you not join that small but increasing in-creasing group of women who DON'T TALK? They work. They help with food and clothes and knitting and money. And they pray, which is the realest help of all. But they've stopped talking. They've lifted themselves into a zone of higher vision, trying to see the world of tomorrow, and finding find-ing it a better world. A world in which, whoever wins and no nation ever really wins a war! there will be a fairer life for everyone; unemployment un-employment done away with forever, for-ever, slums cleaned and changed, and the earth and the air and the seas dedicated only to the services of peace. We will live to see that world. Dictators dead; nations gradually regaining their old boundaries and their old entities; and victors and victims alike awakened to realize that no eood ever came of wars. Wisdom in Being Silent. We can actually hurry that day by withdrawing from violent and excited ex-cited speech now. And as any talk of public affairs is apt to grow violent vio-lent and excited, the real wisdom lies in retreating into a dignified, friendly silence. Listening, nodding perhaps, permitting oneself a somewhat some-what dubious expression perhaps, but not entering into the word battles bat-tles which are only an echo of the real battles overseas. Try this plan anyway. Be the girl in the office, or the woman at the club meeting, who listens. Even if you know all the answers, refrain from giving them. While you are listening, lift your heart to God. If you can't think of any longer prayer, pray-er, repeat in your soul the words of the one prayer given us by the Prince of Peace himself. "Thy kingdom king-dom come. Thy will be done." For peacemakers are called the children of God.

In addition to acting as a bellhop, the coppers also deliver messages after telegraph offices are closed. "It is all a matter of courtesy," the captain says, "and is something that every small town policeman should be required to do." Human Sacrifice . The ancient Aztecs of Mexico did not practice human sacrifice because be-cause they held human life cheap, but, on the contrary, because they considered human life the most precious of gifts and the only one worthy of being offered to their gods, according to an article in Natural Nat-ural History. |
