Can't you see where you are heading for if you don't keep cool? We don't want" "Cut it," interrupted Hart harshly. harsh-ly. "We don't want any more guff from you.

The Diamond Reverse B manager answered the question Hart had put "My name was on that telegram because I'm the man who sent it," he said quietly. CHAPTER XXXI , There was a shift in the half-circle of men who fixed their attention on Terry and Richards. Lee Hart had been in the foreground, crowding the editor with snarling questions. Now he was back of the big nester with the Winchester. Over the shoulder shoul-der of his shield he flung a triumphant trium-phant shout at his enemy. "Got you at last, you damn fool!" Looking round on the grim faces of these men, all armed, most of them ready to start out on a long ride to exterminate their foes, Terry guessed that never in his turbulent life had he been in more deadly periL "Larry and Horace are not in this," he said quietly. "Garvey has not thrown you down. He's on your side stilL Larry is a hired rider. He is not responsible for what the Diamond Dia-mond Reverse B has done. I'm the manager." "If Larry Richards claims he's not on yore side he keeps mighty bad company," jeered a red-headed rustler. ; "I'm not claiming it, Red," Larry cut in coolly. "My chips are on the table alongside those of Cal." Shrilly Garvey begged a chance to talk. "For God's sake, don't make a mistake, boys!" he cried. "Listen to me. Calhoun Terry is our friend. Take time to find out" "He's your friend, but not ours," Hart interrupted savagely. "We don't need any more time. 1 say, right now." A man had walked in the front door and joined the group. He was Sheriff Hart One sweeping glance was enough for him to size up the situation. "Don't push on the reins, Lee," he said evenly. "These two men are my prisoners." "How do you mean yore prisoners?" prison-ers?" his brother blustered. "Ellison's "Elli-son's warriors aren't taking any prisoners. That goes with us too." The hard, unwinking eyes in the long-jawed, bony face of the sheriff looked almost contemptuously at his older brother. "Come out from back of Houck if you have anything to say, though it won't be important anyhow. any-how. I'm the law, and I'm arresting arrest-ing these men. Don't any of you get the wrong idea about that" Terry knew that the sheriff had no friendliness for him, but he had no doubt that Nate Hart had interfered to prevent him and Larry from being be-ing killed. "What are you arresting us for doing?" he asked. It did not matter mat-ter what pretext was offered by the officer, but as a matter of form Calhoun made a protest. "We're peaceable citizens going about our lawful business." "For conspiring to bring about an armed insurrection in the territory," the officer answered. "Hmp! We carne here to buy a registered bull from Mr'. Murdoch here," Larry said. "We have done bought it. Now we're ready to leave and go back to the ranch. Looks to me like these gents who were working work-ing themselves up to bump us off when you sashayed in are doing the insurging." "No use littering up the jail with them," Lee Hart urged. "I say hang them to a telegraph pole." The sheriff drew a revolver. "I know all of you boys," he said quietly. qui-etly. "I'd hate to have to kill any of you, and I don't want to be killed myself. But I'm going to take these men to jail If anybody interferes there will be trouble." The cowboy Red threw in the hand for his group. "All right, Nate. If you want these fellows, take 'em. But be sure you don't let 'em go. We'll be hearing from the hills soon as to whether any of our friends have been murdered. And if they have, hell and high water can't keep us from busting into yore calaboose cala-boose and hanging these birds high as Haman." Red and his allies followed the arrested ar-rested men to the jail to make sure the sheriff did not release them. They posted a guard at both the rear and front doors. The leaders adjourned to the Crystal Palace and the Red Triangle to drum up sentiment senti-ment in favor of a lynching. Calhoun put the matter bluntly to the sheriff. . "Getting down to cases, Hart, what is your idea in locking us up?" he asked. "Are you holding us here till your friends are ready to lynch us?" "I'm holding you here for your own safety. If I turned you loose you would never get out of town alive. You wouldn't get fifty yards from the jail door." Impatiently he added, "Why in hell did you come to town now?" "Why shouldn't we come?" Terry wanted to know. "We have nothing to do with this crazy invasion. Ellison's Elli-son's men attacked us today and almost killed us. We rescued your friend Jeff Brand. The Diamond Reverse B is being cut up into small ranches, of which Larry and I are buying one. What have you against us except that we won't stand for having our stock rustled? The trouble trou-ble with this town just now is that it is seeing red and can't think straight" " "If I could get Red and some of the other hotheads to go up to the house where Jeff is and talk with him they might get some sense thumped into their heads. But no chance of that now. They figure you are one of those who paid that two thousand dollars to Turley to ambush their friends. You may have been, at that Even if you have quarreled with Ellison since then, that doesn't prove a thing, and far as that goes they only have your own say-so that you're not hock deep in this invasion." The sheriff slanted a suspicious look at Terry. "Looks like you are, when you get off a telegram to the President asking ask-ing him to send troops to support the big ranches in this business of killing settlers." "That's not what I asked him to do," the Diamond Reverse B manager man-ager said. "Since the operator was in such a hurry to give out a private message he might at least have done so correctly." Larry tossed a question at Hart "Let's know where we're at sheriff. sher-iff. Is it yore intention to ask us to give up our guns and wait in a cell for these galoots outside to break in and send us west? Because we have other views." Nate Hart was a harassed man. "I didn't get you in this jam, Larry," Lar-ry," he said. "You didn't have to come here and drop a match in a barrel of powder. I'm trying to save you, but I'D teU you straight that if any bad news comes to town the boys will attack the jaiL It's only a flimsy shack. You know that I aim to protect you if I can, and if it comes to a showdown I'll give you back your guns to help me stand them off. More than that I can't promise." He added after a moment, "If I could get a chance to let you slip away I would." "Since we're not pr'soners you'd better let us keep our guns," Larry suggested. "You might be where you couldn't get them back to us when we have to have them." The sheriff recognized the force of the argument "AD right" he said. "Keep them. I don't need to tell you if you begin shooting you are sunk." (TO BE COSTIMED) Kathleen Norris Says: Silence Has a Power Greater Than Words (BeU SyndlcaU WNU 8trvlc.) 1 W "1 li fit- i.'.l--'' "1 1 jKfiSiJ M " ' ' " 4 teas Cart't secretary and had loved him from lie moment f entered his employ. I consider him the most wonderful man in the world. Our marriage made his mother very angry. By KATHLEEN NORRIS HERE is a letter from a wife, nineteen years old, who finds herself among the many, many women wom-en whose lives are complicated compli-cated by the existence of a mother-in-law. Sometimes I think there ought to be a school for mothers-in-law. This one, at any rate, seems bound to disorganize and make trouble for the very persons she ought most to help and love. "My husband is fourteen yearsolder than I am," writes Betsey," from Buffalo! "His first wife left him when Car ter junior and Jim, the sons, were five and three. Immediately Immedi-ately after the divorce she married a man with whom she was in love, later divorcing divorc-ing him. A year ago she was killed in a motor accident. "I was Cart's secretary, had loved him from the moment I entered his employ, and consider him the most wonderful man in the world. We were quietly married, without announcing an-nouncing our plans, which made his mother very angry. The two boys have been living with her, but she finds their care too much for her, and cannot afford anything but part-time part-time help in kitchen and nursery. So she wants, and I think my husband hus-band wants, to combine forces, save on rent and share the responsibility of the children. They have never meant very much to my Cart He does not understand them, and his mother is alternately given to spoiling spoil-ing them or punishing them without reason. Faces a Problem. "Now, I feel, and my mother and sisters feel, that to do this might be to wreck our chances of married happiness forever. I am too young to hold my own with anyone as forceful as Mrs. Brown; I would be a doormat in the family, with everyone's ev-eryone's feet on me. If I disciplined the boys, or asked Cart to take sides, there would be bitterness and trouble. trou-ble. "I cannot tell you how disagreeable disagree-able this old woman is. She delights in making trouble. She wiU hint that I went into business Just to get a husband. She will say to the boys, She's not your Mama, even If Papa wants you to caD her Mama.' Ma-ma.' She expects Cart to kiss her first when he comes in; she picks up verything I say and makes fun of it Cart listens to me of course, but he only smiles when I complain of her, and says his mother doesn't mean any harm and I mustn't take her too seriously. "Otherwise many things about her are fine. She is a good housekeeper, housekeep-er, wants to do more than her share of the work, and in any real trouble she can be very kind. She bad not spoken to me after my marriage when my father died, but she came ' to Mother's house a few days after the funeral and brought us a roast chicken and some preserves; she will do things like that The Right Thing to Do. "Also Cart says we could save money for a home, if we lived at his mother's for a few years, and he wants to buy a country place and raise mushrooms and squabs and aD that sort of thing. But I do not truly think I am equal to day-by-day living with someone who af-ects af-ects me like a piece of sandpaper." A'OP EQUAL TO IT Betsey is nineteen. She is married to an oldc man with two small sons, who have been living with her mother-in-law. B'tsey and her mother-in-law do not agree, and Betsey feels that the older woman tries to turn the children against her by telling them that she is not their mother But it seems advisable ad-visable jor them to combine resources and all live together at her mother-in-law's house. By doing this for a while Betsey's Bet-sey's husband hopes to save enough money for a home. When Betsey tells him of her trouble withhis mother, he tells her not to take it too seriously. seri-ously. But Betsey still feels that she is not equal to the task of making a happy home with her mother-in-law and is afraid the conflict that is certain to arise might wreck her chances of a happy marriage. Be sure to read Kathleen Norris' stirring stir-ring challenge in her answer to Betsey's letter. That's where I differ with you, Betsey. I think you ARE equal to it, and I believe it is the right thing for you to do. If you don't do it things will straggle strag-gle along in this uncomfortable way with no plan and no system behind them. You and Cart will live your isolated life, taking no responsibility for what really is primarily his job; the raising of his sons." He will feel aggrieved and troubled, and his mother wiU resent his attitude. You are only 19, and long happy years are ahead of you. Take the next few as a sort of novitiate, in .which you learn to live. Go into this other woman's house with one great rule in your heart: silence. A sweet silent girl, helpful where she can be helpful, contentedly reading read-ing or thinking when she is not needed, need-ed, not entering into quarrels, not criticizing, good-natured with her small step-sons, taking the older woman's direction In everything, is in an impregnable position. This is what in religious books is called "a counsel of perfection." It would be impossible for an older woman to follow it. Common sense and justice are both against it A dozen times a day you will want to burst out with "That isn't what you said this morning. That isn't fair! Play It Like a Game. But you are young enough to school yourself to complete silenee except when everyday pleasant conversation is concerned. You are young enough to play it like a game; enjoying the confusion of the others when you give them complete right of way. Talk to Cart aD you like, of course.
