TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

It is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend 20 our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving teaspoonful OF canthrox
which can be obtained from any
druggist in cup OF hot water. This
makes full cup OF shampoo liquid,
enough so II is easy to apply IL to
all the hair instead OF Just to the top
of the head. This, when rubbed in
to the scalp and onto every strand
Of hair. chemically dissolves all i'm
purities. II is very soothing and
cooling in its action. as wen as bene-
fetal TO both scalp and hair. After
rinsing out the lather so created, YOU
will find the scalp is fresh, clean and
free from daDdruff. while the hair
dries quickly and evenly. developing
bright luster and soft lufliness
that makes 1t seem very heavy.

myself off,"
He wandered away, and when 1t
became impossible for him to stay
away any longer he returned to the
patio.
The instant his glance rested upon
Nell's face he OWNED she was feign-
ing sleep. Dick dropped upon his
knees and bent over her. He wanted
more than anything he had ever want
ed in his life to see if she would keep
up that pretense of sleep and let him
kiss her. She must have felt his
breath, for her hair waved off her
brow. Her cheeks were now white.
Her breast swelled and sank. He
bent down closer-closer. But he
must have been maddeningly slow, for
as he bent still closer Nel's -eyes
opened, and he caught a swift purple
gaze of eyes as she whirled her head.
Then, with a little cry, she rose and
fed.

"Why, mother" Gale could say no
more. He put his arm around her. In
another moment she had gained COM
mand over herself, and, kissing him,
she pushed him out Of the door.
There! Go tell her, Dick.
And have some spunk about it :"
Gale went thOughtfully back to his
room. Then remembering the hope
, Mrs. Bedding had given him, Dick lost
his gravity in flash, and something
began to dance and ring within him.
He simply could not keep his steps
turned from the patio. Every path
led there. His blood was throbbing
his hopes mounting, his spirit soaring.
"Now for some spunk y he said, un-
der his breath.
Plainly he meant his merry whistle
and his buoyant step to interrupt this
first languorous stage Of the siesta
which the girls always took during
1.-THE hot hours But neither girl heard

sconsumed with q desire to kiss her,

opportunity. It would be terrible

feared she would awaken.
J He had dropped back erect when
she opened her eyes, They were sleepy,

Then she was wide awake in second,

"Why-you here?" she asked, slowly.
! Large as lifel" replied Dick, with
unusual gayety.

"Just got here this fraction of sec

II thought was-dreaning," she
'said and evidently the sound Of her
voice reassured her.

"So sorry to wake you. 1 can't see

Mercedes didn't wake. Well, I'll go
and let you have your siesta and

But he did not move to go. Nell
regarded him with curious, specula-

patio by the opening into the yard.
Nell was really sleepy, and when she
had fallen asleep again he would re-

CHAPTER x
Rojas.


No word from George Thorne had
come to Forlorn River in weeks. Gale
grew concerned over the fact. and
began to wonder If anything serious
could have happened to him. Mer-
cedes showed a slow, wearing strain.
Thorne's commission expired the
end Of January, and If he could not
get his discharge Immediately, he
surely could obtain leave Of absence.
Therefore, Gale waited, not without
growing anxiety, and did his best to
cheer Mercedes. The first of February
came bringing news of rebel activities
and bandit operations in and around
Casita. but not a word from the cav
alryman.
A dozen times Gale declared he
would ride in to Casita and find out
why they did not hear from ThOrne;
however, older and wiser heads pre-
vailed over his impetuosity. Belding
and the rangers and the Yaqui held
consultation. Not only had the Indian
become faithful servant to Gale, but
he was also of value to Bedding.
Yaqui had all the craft of his class,
and superior intelligence. His knowl-
edge Of Mexicans was second only to
his hate of them. And Yaqui, who
had been scouting on all the trails,
gave information that made Belding
decide to wait some days before send.
ing anyone to Casita.
1t was upon Gales coming from this
conference that he encountered Nell.
Since the interrupted siesta episode
she had been more than ordinarily
elusive, and about all he had received
from her was a tantalizing smile from
now, however, that she had awaited
him. When he drew close to her he
was certain Of 1t, and he experienced
more than surprise.
"Dick," she began, hurriedly. "Mer.
cedes is dying by inches. Can't you
see what nils her? It's more than
love or fear It's uncertainty-sus-
pense. Oh. can't we find out for herr"
Nell, l feel as badly as you about
her. I wanted to ride to Casita. Bel
ding shut me up quick, the last time"
Nell came close to Gale, clasped his
arm. There was no color in her face.
Her eyes held a dark, eager excite
ment.
"Dick, will you slip off without
Dads consent? Risk it! Go to Ca
sta and find out what's happened to
Thorne-at least If he ever started
for ForlOrn River?"
mo, Nell, 1 won't do that"
She drew away from him with pas
sionate suddenness.
Are you afraid?"
This certainly was not the Nell Bur-
ton that Gale knew.
"No. I'm not afraid" Gale replied,
a little nettled.
"Will you go-for my sake?" Like
lightning her mood changed and she
was close to him again, hands on his,
her face white, her whole presence
sweetly alluring.
Nell, won't dlsobey Belding," pro-
tested Gale. II won't break my
word"
Dick, it'll not be so bad as that.
But-what If It is? Go, Dick,

word from Thorne or about him
would save her. Take Blanco Sol and
go, Dick. What rebel outfit could ever

Gale could only stare at this trans
formed girl.
