succeeded in keeping the Hensley cattle
on a sequestered portion of the range.
The result was that the Bar H had a
10 per cent calf crop that year while
the Circle K tthe Kershaw outf1D had
so per cent.
Joel Hensley had his suspicious

with Robin Kershaw now; hence all
Winter he was torn between desire to
kill Kershaw or permit him to live, in
order that he might borrow from him
SUFFICIENT money to purchase pure-bred
beef-type bulls. Finally he decided on
the latter course
Robin Kershaw saw him coming, so
he buckled on a six-shooter and went
to meet him. ''Well?" he demanded
coldly.
Guess III have to buy them pure
bred range bulls, neighbor." Joel Hens
ley forced sheepish grin. IF you're
still of a mind to let me have the
money
THE situation has changed mite
since made you that fair offer. Hens
ley" Kershaw'S voice was very cold.
Your scrub bulls don't worry me now,
so I'm not interested in helplnga-yOu
out. I wanted to be good neighbor,
but you wouldn't have 1t, so now we're
enemies, and If you expect to drag your
self of the Circle K under your own
power reckon you'de better be startin'
now"
without a word Hensley wheeled his
horse and departed He had earned
this humiliation and he realiZtd 1t; yet
the realization did not allay the fury
that possessed him. Nor did he con-
slider so seriously thereafter the adj
visibility of killing Kershaw; he knew
now that Kershaw was suspicious of
him, else why had the latter appeared
with a pistol at his hip? Evidently
KerShaw would kill eagerly enough II

no man Hensley felt assured.
And there was Robin Kershaw, I'd,
to be reckoned with also. The boy was
somewhat dour, thoughtful young
hillbilly, who could ride and shoot and
wreStle with any man In the county.
So he realized the danger of clashing
with prideful clan that was still fond
centuries to coat of arms!
So he nursed his hatred, borrowed
money from distant bank and bought
pure-bred beef-type bulls. Indeed, he
had to, or get out of the cattle business.

end of the ranch, backed the water up
and over the low banks and led 1t by
irrigation bitches all over his meadows.
He could have permitted the water from
these bitches to run under the line
fence between his ranch and HenSley'S,
thus insuring Hensley the customary
hay crop and pasture. But Kershaw
turned the water, when he was through
with it, back into the channel of Eden
Valley Greek
OF course, there was nothing Hensley
could do about this. Kershaw had the
first use of the water and when he
turned it back into the channel at the
boundary line he was quite within the
law.
KerShaw put up his customary ton

which, for the next 40 years, was to
make Eden Valley a dark and bloody

Joel Hensleys first cartridge had de-

verdict of justifiable homicide and
restored Robin KerShaw to the bosom

To End aCOugh
 In a Hurry, Mix
 This at Home
To quickly end stubborn coughs due fn colds if lie imnortant fo snntha fha

To quickly end stubborn coughs due to colds, it is important to soothe the unframed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system in- wardly to help throw off the trouble.
 For these purposes, here is home made medicine, far better than anything you could buy at 3 times the cost. From any druggist, get 21a ounces of Pinex. Pour this into pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strain cd honey to fill up the pint. This takes but moment, saves money, and makes remedy so effective that you will never do without, once you have used 1t. Keeps perfectly, and children like it.
 This simple remedy does three neces- sary things. First, it loosens the germ- laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why it brings such quick relief, even in the obstinate coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palAtable form, and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

New York, Oct 27 Definite measures toward the betterment of business In one of Americas old est industries will be undertaken when the 18th National Hotel Ex' position opens in Grand Central Palace, November 9th to continue through the 18th. At the numer- ous meetings and conventions scheduled to take place in con. junction with the exhibition. plans for bringing this about are to pe discussed and made As for the show itself, it is expected that or- ders placed there will amount to almost a million dollars. Through out the field, from owners of tiny inns. to managers of great chains of hotels, the decision to refurnish and renovate at this time seems to be unanimous.
 Hotel executives realize that at present existing low price levels offer an unequalled opportunity to modernize and expand without pro- hibitive cost. This. in turn, supplies work for those who need it and increases the market power of the community. By remodeling. re. decorating and refurnishing in every way possible; by the adop- improved service helps, hotel ex- ecutives can prepare at this time for the better business of tomorrow
