RELEASE " THE STORY SO FAR: Forced to run from the law to save his life. Con Cam-eron Is anxious to prove his honesty. Arrested as a murder and robbery sus-pect because of his association with the notorious Raniers, be was In danger of being hanged as "Comanche Linn," In spite of the fact that he had recently saved the life of the marshal, Nevil Lowe. He escaped from Jail with Jeff Allmon and joined Dud Paramore's gang, but broke with Paramore when Dud at-tempted to kidnap Lowe's sister, Janet. He saved Janet and later foiled Dud's attempt to rob the bank at Tivan. When he found Jeff shot by Dud, he left a note telling the story. Still a fugitive, he has been joined by his pal, Caramba Vear, who has persuaded him to stay In the neighborhood. They have been offered a job as detectives by a rancher named Wiley who Is a member of an associa tion organized to break up a band of cat tie rustlers. Nevil Lowe ts also a mem-ber of the association. They are to work for Topeka Tenison of the Broken Wheel ranch, one of the biggest and most pow-erful outfits, and meanwhile keep their eyes and ears open. Now they are on their way to ask Tenison for a job. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER XII A wide veranda shaded the front of the rooming house. Topeka Teni-son sat with the stillness of a gray hawk halfway along it. Con slowed his pace a trifle, so that Caramba preceded him. "Mr. Tenison?" Caramba asked respectfully. "My name's Vear and this is Twenty Johnson. We make out to be hands and if you got jobs we'd like to have 'em." Irby came down loosely, like a dropped jumping jack. Tenison drew a foot up into the seat of the barrel chair and locked his arms around his knee. "Any warrants close behind you?" he inquired drawlingly. He had a low voice: very even. "Gets tire-some, having the sheriff jerk my busters right out of the saddle." "Nary warrant any place! We drifted into the Territory to kind of limber up our g'ography. Rode a spell for the 20 Bar on the Pecos. Twenty, he took on with Los Ala-mos long enough to bust a few for Taylor. I was too rich to work then." Con had sat down upon the edge of the veranda so that only his side face was presented to Tenison. Head down, he began to roll a cigarette. When footsteps sounded inside the house, he did not look up. "Uncle Peek!" Janet Lowe called from the door. "Did you hear about that man Oxweld being killed? The Fronteras killer?" Con stared incredulously at tobac-co and paper and drew a long, slow breath. Then he went on making the cigarette, but shifted position a little so that be could turn his back upon the girl. "Yeh. I heard about it. Slash never was the wolf he let on to be. Gale Goree told me. "that Slash was swelling around yesterday and be kind of stuck a pin in Slash's blister. Gale didn't take Slash serious, so he never killed him. But a couple fool cowboys misread him and one killed him. Good riddance! How-yo- fixed with the store? Got everything?" "I I think so," she said. But there was a tone which turned Con carefully about, to meet her wide-eye- d itare. "Oh, yes! I think I have just about the list." "So you don't think Slash was a real wolf, huh?" a grim voice de-manded. "And you think Gale Go-ree is?" It was the tall, slim "Gloomy" Megeath, as neat as when Con had seen him at the bar in Fronteras. It was plain that Tenison knew Me-geath. He did not alter position, nor did his expression change. But there was a tension .about :him that Con could see. "Yeh to both," he . said flatly. "Anyway, Slash is dead." heavy, but we might kind of back you up " "When I need help or advice I'll ask for it!" Tenison snapped. "All right! All right! But I hope you don't live to see the day you need it and don't have time to come asking!" They got their horses from the liv-ery corral, had a final drink at a lit-tle cantina where Mexican proprie-tor and Mexican customers watched so steadily that Con knew he was recognized. When they rode past the rooming house, Tenison and Janet were not on the veranda. But, some-how, Con felt more cheerful than before. He stared ahead blankly and whistled Buffalo Gals. "She is pretty!" Caramba said thoughtfully. "Say! I thought you said she keeps house for her broth-er. How-com- e she's down here?" "I don't know. Surprised me to see her step out there and call Teni-son 'Uncle Peek' and talk about buy-ing for him at the store. Well, Mrs. Tenison may be a friend of hers. Or she may be a niece. Probably she came visiting I wonder! Maybe Nevil's not so easy in mind about her being on the NL while he sher-iffs around. After Dud's crack at the place probably he wouldn't." They turned at the heap of boul-ders and rode along the ranch road. Ahead, the hills rose, low and smoky. The sunlight of late after-noon was pale upon flat and height. Caramba shifted in the saddle to look all around him. "Ought to be miles to the house. Be dark by the time we hit there good and dark. Say! how-com-e the girl never let on she knew you?" "Because I was with you. You wouldn't expect a nice girl to speak to anybody siding a wild-eye- d Texi-ca- n of your build. When she gets me off to myself, she'll read me a sermon about associating with bad companions." He swung off on the little hilltop and stretched himself. Caramba dis-mounted and reached into his al forja for the quart brought from . He sprawled comfortably to make a cigarette and smoke. Con sat beside him and played mumble- - ment, Irby seemed not so belliger-ent. "I got a couple pups to kill," he said raspingly. "You fellows been in town today? Slash Oxweld was murdered plumb murdered! by two tramp cowboys. If you was in town talk up!" "Goodness me! We got nothing to hide!" Caramba cried. "We watched the whole business and we're willing to talk. Not because you say to, sabe? You want to watch that habit of yours, Mis-te- r Irby, be-ing so crowdsome and handing out powders so gay! But it did happen that we saw our wagon boss. Gale Goree, push Slash around allasame li' 1 boy steering a pig with a switch." He shook his head in the way of one meditating. "I bet you that made Slash mad at Goree. Goree wanted him to pull his big pistol, you see. But Slash set out to fool him: he wouldn't do it!" "So" Con picked up the tale drawlingly "Slash had to try some-thing to blow up his balloon again. As soon as he was certain that Go-ree and the other Wheelers had got a long way out of Onopa, he hunted a safe man to kill any old way. He picked the youngest, tenderest cow-boy he could find. He thought it was a good pick, a safe pick. But it turned out that it was a sharp pick. Another false alarm was with Slash and he got out with his hide but that hide had a hole in it." His hand twitched smoothly and Irby stiffened before the cocked pis-tol. "1 wouldn't try slapping leather, Irby!" Con said evenly. "Reach up and take hold of your big, ugly ears!" Con lifted his Colt and aimed at Irby's belt. Irby's hands went up as if jerked by a string. He blinked incredu-lously, swallowed, began to stam-mer thickly. Caramba went hum-ming to jerk the gun from Irby's holster. There was a shorter pistol in a shoulder holster under the pris-oner's coat, a long bowie knife sheathed between his shoulder blades, a derringer in the watch pocket of his pants. Con watched the disarming with brooding calm. Then he handed Caramba his pistol and went three steps to stand be-fore Irby. "The more I look at you," he said between his teeth, "the more I don't like a thing about you! So " His hand shot out to rake down Irby's face from forehead to chin. Irby swore furiously and struck at him. Con swayed to the side and twisted. He drove his left to Irby's belly and jerked the taller man down, hooked righl and left dashing-ly to Irby's neck under the ears, then stepped back. Irby slipped to his knees, but scrambled up and came in a clumsy rush at him. Irby was staggering, mouth open, too winded even to curse. As coldly as an executioner. Con moved to the precise position he wanted, then smashed him exactly on the box-er's button." Irby came down loosely, like a dropped jumping jack. Con turned to find Caramba staring at him with an odd. narrow-eye- d "Por dios!" the d punch-er said explosively. "I do' believe Topeka Tenison stumbled onto some-body the kind they been saying the Busted Wheelers run to! You never looked so so damn' deadly, Con, even when you bucked Slash Oxweld!" "They get under my skin!'- Con snarled furiously. "Dud Paramore! Gloomy Megeath! Slash Oxweld! This! And the like of that thieving outfit at Wild Horse Nobby, for one! They swagger it and you'd think nobody around amounted to a hoot but their kind. And most of 'em are cowards of one kind or an-other, if they're pushed. Buzz or Nevil Lowe, or a lot of other men who don't blow and strut plenty of plain cowboys have got more guts than a pastureful of these thieves Now, I reckon we might's well pull out for the house. We'll be late No! Let's give people a chance to see him the right way. Here!" (TO BE CONTINUED) "Slash was plenty fast! Danger-ous as a rattler!" Megeath said to Con. "So, when 1 heard about you killing faim, I come to take a look at you. I wondered if you was fast-er, or just luckier. There'll be some that want to know. Slash left friends!" Tenison's eyes shifted quickly to Con. From the girl came a gasping sound. Deliberately, Con got to his feet and stepped up on the veranda. Me-geath watched him, then turned to look directly at Janet Lowe. "Why, I do believe it's the sheriff's sister!" he cried. "First chance I ever had, young lady, to take a real mira at you. But if I had guessed what a pretty" "That'll do!" Tenison cut in. "Whoever and whatever this young lady is, it's not a thing in the world to you. Now, or any other time. You hear me? You better remem-ber it!" Megeath's thin mouth stretched. He nodded slightly. "Now, ain't that just too bad!" he whispered then laughed. "Well, I'll be seeing you-al- Specially, you, Johnson." He turned away and seemed to forget them. At the edge of the veranda he looked up and down, then stepped off and loafed toward the center of Onopa. "That's a plumb bad actor!" Ten-ison admitted. "Goes by Gloomy Megeath. I do'no' as I would put much past Megeath. But you won't likely see him again, honey. Don't you worry." Then he turned to Con and Ca-ramba. "You boys might as well start on out. Yonder's the road. Just keep to it for ten mile, then you'll hit a right-han- d trail with a pile of rocks to make the sign. Take that trail and go straight on toward the hills." "You don't think you might have trouble with Megeath?" Caramba asked hesitantly. "Of course, me and Twenty don't weigh awful peg witn nis neavy kniie. "You know, I told you about that 6ang at Fronteras." he said pres-ently. "Well, this Gloomy Megeath was drinking at the bar within a yard of me. I don't think he recog-nized me today and made out that he didn't. But I made enough noise around Fronteras for him to notice me and remember me." "Does look funny. Looky" But Con had already seen the rid-er topping over a ridge a quarter-mil- e or so away, coming toward them. Caramba stared calculatingly at the man and shook his head. The rider came on toward the hill and when he was within fifty yards they saw that he rode with hand on his pistol. He pulled in, a thick, dark man with wide, flat face, to look sullenly and arrogantly at them. "Wheelers?" he grunted. "Hell! dun't gawp so. I ain't aiming to eat you maybe." "That'll please your teeth." Ca-ramba said dryly. "Yeh. We're Wheelers. So that makes it polite for us, being on Wheel range, to ask where you're from. Even, which way you're heading . . ." "I'm Monk Irby! Reckon you heard that name. And I'm from Helligo Canyon. And I'm heading for Onopa to kill me a couple pups!" "Well. I've heard of Onopa. any-way." Con drawled solemnly. Irby's smoky eyes shuttled suspi-ciously from one to the other. Out of a pocket of his old coat he drew a flat flask, held it up to the low sun, uncorked it and drank gulping-l-until the half-pi- of liquor had disappeared. Then he tossed the empty flask away and got heavily out of the saddle. "Gi' me a cigarette," he ordered them generally. "I run out of to-bacco awhile ago." "Le" me!" Caramba begged Con plaintively. "You know I'm tender-er in the gizzard than you are." He held out tobacco and papers and when he had smoked for a mo- - --' wiroimt. paw) rmn id 4J3 Eleanor Roosevelt PROPER SPIRIT This seems to me the opportune time to publish a letter which has just come, and which breathes the spirit which must be ours. It is signed by Margaret Rollo, and comes from Lanarkshire, England: "Dear Madame: "I have been given the very great honour of writing you on behalf of the Women's Rural institute of this village to thank the women of Amer-ica through you for their most kind and thoughtful gift of vegetable seeds. I can assure you that this gift, one of so many, has touched the hearts of all the women of Brit-ain. These seeds have been put into the ground with many kind thoughts of American women and of good wishes for all Americans who are standing shoulder to shoulder with us in this gigantic struggle. "Not many days ago, one of our loveliest old cities in the South was badly 'blitzed' two nights in succession. Many people lost ev-erything. A member of my family wrote and told me that she had been working in a rest center for 16 hours a day, helping to feed and clothe the homeless. She said: 'The garments we gave out all came from America and you have no idea of the com-fort and cheer they gave! "I have seen many of those gar-ments, for the house of one of my friends in this village is the receiv-ing center for the upper ward of Lanarkshire. What struck me about the garments was their cheery col-ors and their look of warmth and comfort. Do tell the women of the United States how truly grateful we are for their help and wonderful generosity. "In this prayer we are learning what is of real and lasting value, and I pray God we may never for-get. You would be amazed at the courage and cheerfulness of people who have undergone the most ter-rible experiences. We have one dear little woman living in Rob-ertson, who, in March, 1941, lost everything except what is most precious her husband and two small children. She comes down here to help us occasionally and she is like a tonic. Her parting word is always 'cheerio.' It is a privilege to help people with cour-age. We are confident of victory however long and hard the struggle may be." FREEDOM IN EDUCATION There was a very interesting edi-torial in one of the metropolitan papers recently. It brought up the d question of public schools in England. These schools, which correspond to our most ex-clusive boarding schools, are giv-ing consideration to changes for the future. Some of our educators, who are concerned about real freedom of op-portunity in education, are also thinking about what we should do. There are colleges in in several of the bigger cities where tuition is free to the citizens of that city. There are state universities where titution is free to the young people of the state. Board and lodg-ing is still a considerable expense, however, so we have-.jan- y young people who give up obtaining a col-lege education because financially it is too much of a burden. That is why some of us have been so much interested in the National Youth administration grants to col-lege students as well as to graduate students. I agree with the writer of the editorial that: "A democracy needs leaders, influential by talent and by character. The wider the basis of choice, the more success-ful the democracy will be and the more capable of resisting the vulgar 'fuehrerprinzip' which now afflicts so great a part of the world." To do this, however, there will have to be a. system of grants to students who are worthy of obtain-ing higher education, otherwise this type of education is available only to those whose families are able to pay for it. ... TRAVELING THROUGH U. S. One afternoon about 35 Hi-- stu-dents from the Northwest came in to see what rooms are now open in the White House. I talked to them for a few minutes. These young boys are between 15 and 18 and their trip is sponsored by the Young Men's Christian as-sociation. A great many of them had earned all or part of the money which they had used for this trip. I imagine, as the war goes on, that fewer and fewer trips will be pos-sible. Yet, I am always glad to feel that even a few young people can take back to their communities the impressions gained by seeing their country and their country's capital. It may be possible for them in the future to see a great deal more of the world, but perhaps nothing will ever be as vivid as the first impres-sion which comes from a trip across the whole United States. There is such a variety of scenery, such a variety of occupation, that I think it is impossible for any young per-son not to get a sense of the great-ness and power of his nation. That sense is a good thing to have at the present time. It awakens a confidence both in the present and in the future. ... MILK POWDER A letter has just come to me on the value of milk powder.
