banded with a rattlesnake skin of
! gold and silver, with glass eyes, a
treasure also produced from the
secret trunk. as well as a pair OF
| gOld-mOunted spurs which further
enhanced the Texas star boots.
Thus bedecked for his legal and
editorial pursuits he was by far the
best dressed and most spectacular
male in all the cycloramic Okla
hOma country.
Sabra learned many astounding
things in these first few days, and
among the most terrifying were the
things she learned about the hus-
band to whom she had been hap
PLY married for more than five
years. She learned, for example,
that this Yancey Cravat was famed
as the deadlieSt shot in all the
deadly shooting Southwest. He
had the gift of being able TO point
his SiX-ShOoters without sighting,
as one would point with a finger.
He was one of the few who could
draw and fire two siX-shOoters at
once with equal speed and accu-
racy. His hands would go to his
hips with a lightning gesture that
yet was so smooth, so economical
that the onloOker's eye scarcely
followed it. He could hit his mark
as he walked, as he ran, as he
rode his horse. Sabra was vague
ly uneasy. Wichita had not been
exactly effete. and Dodge City,
Kan, was nOtOriOusly a gun-play
town. But here no man walked
without his six-shooters strapped
TO his body. On the very day of
her narrowing encounter with Doc
Nisbett, Sabra, her cOmpOSure re-
gained, had gone with 9ancey TO
see still another house owner about
the possible renting of his treasure.
The man was found in his crude
One-rOOm shack which he used as
a combination dwelling and land
office. He glanced up at them from
the rough pine table at which he
was writing.

Yancey, all grace, performed an
introduction. This lean, leather

In three minutes he was back. and
affably ready to talk terms with
them.
1t was, perhaps, this simple and
sinister act, more than anything
she had hitherto witnessed, that
impressed Sabra with the utter
lawlessness of this new land to
which her husband had brought
her.
This house, so dearly held by the
man called Cass, turned out to be
a four-room dwelling inadequate to
their needs. and they were in de-
spair at the thought of being
obliged to wait until a house could
be built. Then Yancey had a bril-
liant idea. He found a two-room
cabin made of rough boards This

house, plastered, and-added to it

attached cabin was a combination

other served as composing room
and print shop. The Hefner Fur
niture and Undertaking Parlors
provided them with furniture-a
large wooden bedstead to fit Sabra's
mattress and spring; a small bed
for Gin; tables, chairs-the plain
est of everything. In two days
Sabra was a housewife established
in her routine as though she had
been at it for years.

fashion writer in the New York

use of this vogue for linens to pro-

of one color and jumper or blouse
of another, with emphasis placed
on the jumper.
Effects typical of Captain Molly

his new models by adding to these
linen costumes coat which

seen in its alliance with wool in

wool skirt, linen blouse, and a wool
jacket lined with linen to match
the blouse. The cloth is a soft
