The stockade was empty, leaving
only four In the house to be account
ed for. A tiny point of light attracted
her eye. 1t grew and spread. She
knew that one Of her men had
crawled up under cover of night and
fired the house. She thought of the
burning buildings on the Three Bar
and rose to make her way back to
the pocket where the horses had been
left In the care of deputy.
All through the day she had scarce
~ moved and she was tired. The
hours of inactivity had proved more
wearing than day in the saddle.
Harris and the sheriff came in With
their detail. There were no prisoners.
A little later Bentley's men rode
up and five minutes behind them
came Carp with the rest, and al
hands turned in. At daylight the
long return journey to the Three Bar
was commenced. Twenty miles out
from the ranch and before noon OF
the next day the sheriff and the mar
shals had split off with their men,
leaving the Three Bar crew to ride
the short intervening space to the
ranch alone
AS she neared the edge of the Crazy
loop valley the girl dreaded the first
glimpse of the pillaged ranch.
They had reached the edge OF the
valley and she looked down upon the
ruins.
Nov I'm ready to co." she said
"I'll 90 and see what Judge Cotton
wants."
HE wanted you to get away before
anything like this occurred" Harris
said Il knew that maybe we'd have
tough going for while at some criti-
cal time and wanted you to miss all
Of that-to come back and find the
Three Bar booming along without
having been through all the grief. So
I wrote him to urge you to come"
"Well, I'm going now" she said. i
don't need to be urged"
Harris pointed as they rode down
the slope. The little cabin that old
Bill Harris had first erected on the
Three Bar, and which had later shell
tered the Warrens when they came
into possession Of the brand, stood
solid and unframed among the black
ened ruins which hemmed 1t in on all
sides.
Look, girl!' he exclaimed triumph
antly. Look at that little house.
| The Three Bar was started with that!
| We have as much as our folks started
with-and more. They even had to
build that. Well start where our
| folks did, and grow"

Save Washinpton's Tree

Tree surgeons have succeeded in
keeping alive the last Of the chest
nut trees planted by George Wash
ington at Fredericksburg, Va. There
were thirteen trees, one for each OF
the colonies that became states in
the United States. The seedlings were
placed in the ground with due cere.
mony by the Father of Our Country
on day dedicated especially for the
occasion.
Ants had burrowed through the
heart Of the surviving tree, but sur

Periscope Colored So
That II Is Invisible

One Of the early drawbacks to the
submarine was the inability to see
what was happening on the surface,
with the old-style periscope betraying
the vessel.
None Of them could hide it's peri
scope except, OF course, by submerg-
Ing 1t, and then the submarine was
blind, and practically helpless.
Nowadays. however, these under
water craft are fitted with periscopes
that are to all intents and purposes
invisible, except at quite close quar-.
tiers. This is accomplished by paint
ing them checkerboard fashion with
alternate squares Of green and violet.
These two colors, when viewed
Jointly by the eye, amalgamate, and
cause the brain to receive the i'm
preston of seeing blue. A periscope
SO painted very obligingly merges in
to the color scheme Of the sea and
becomes invisible.

"Pan" in His Stomach
Not Culinary Utensi

They had a real laugh at the re-
ceiving hospital the other day. A
man had been brought in who APP
parently was more frightened than
hurt. He kept crying over and over
again that he had swallowed pan.
At first the attendants thought he had
been drinking or was out Of his head
but as neither was the case they be-
gan to question him.
"You say you swallowed a pan?
What kind Of a PAM"
"a pan. Yust pan Az bane swal-

Je.Ds and San1aritons

The historical origin of the hatred
that existed between the Jews and
the Samartans may be found In the
fact that when Sargon, the conqueror
of Israel. destroyed the northern king.
dom he repopulated Samaria with
colonists from Babylon, Assyria and
Cutah. Later instructors were sent
to these people In an attempt to in.
struct them in the worship Of Je.
hovah; but, when the temple at Jeru
salem was being rebuilt, the Jews re-
fused to allow the Samaritans to help
thus increasing the rift between the
two peoples.

among the men at the building. They

CHAPTER XII

Harris sat on baggage truck and
regarded the heap of luggage somber
ly. Way off in the distance dark
blot of smoke marked the location OF
the onrushing train which would take
the Three Bar girl away.
"some day you'll be wanting to
come back, old partner" he predicted
hopefully. The Three Bar isn't hurt.
We're in better shape than ever be-
fore and a clear field out in front;
for the country is cleaned up and the
law is clamped on top"
She honestly tried to rouse spark
of interest deep within her, some ray
of enthusiasm for the future Of the
Three Bar. But there was no re-
Spouse. She assured herself again
that the old brand which had meant
so much to her meant less than moth
ing now. That part of her was dead.
The trail of smoke was drawing
near. Harris leaned and kissed her.
"Just once for luck" he said, and
slipped from his seat on the truck as
the train roared in. Good-by, little
fellow. I'll see you next roundup
time"
AS the train slid away from the
station she looked from her window
and saw him riding up the single
| street on the big paint-horse. The
train cleared the edge Of the little
town and passed the cattle chute.
Three wagons. each drawn by four
big mules, moved toward the cluster
of buildings which comprised the
town, the freighters on their way to
haul out materials for the rebuilding
of the ranch.
The work was going on but she no
longer had q share In 1t. She was
looking ahead and planning future
in which the Three Bar played no
part.
Deane was with Judge Cotton, her
fathers old friend, to meet her at
the station. AS they rode toward the
Cotton home she told the Judge she
had come to stay ard Deane was con-
tent. After the strenuous days she
had just passed through she needed
long period of rest, he reflected !;
but the older man smiled when he
suggested this.
"What she needs now is action"
he said. "And no rest at all. Cal
Warren's girl isn't the sit-around
type"
Deane acted on this and no day
passed without his having planned a
part of 1t to help fill her time. And
in the late winter. after having Wis
tied school friends who lived farther
east, she found herself anticipating
the return to the Cotton home as
eagerly as always in the past she had
looked forward to seeing the Three
Bar after long period away from 1t
