Accepting a Job

A woman whose dignifed and re-
served husband was among the un-
employed but who, like Mr.. Micaw-
Der. was expecting something to turn
up momentarily, was advised by him
each time he left home for the day,
that If an offer for any sort of a
position at all should come for him
to wire an acceptance with speed.
And when at long last the wire did
come from Washington the wife vas
so thoroughly imbued with thrift
that she couldn't bear to send only
a one-word answer like Eyes" OF
Accept" to the "Will you accept?
etc., message, so she sent the fol
lowing:
''Yes thank you ever so much love
and kisses. Miss Ann Thorpe, in
the Kansas City Star.

CHAPTER XII

The long dusk of the winter rim
had given way to night, star bright
and frostily clear, before a car was
heard upon the Waterman road. Ken
lucky Jones walked out alone in shirt
sleeves.
Where's CampoT Sheriff Hopper
demanded, climbing out from behind
the wheel.
Hes here. Come on in"
Into the light of the kitchen Sheriff
Floyd Hopper now herded the four
other men who were with him. They
were Ted Baylor, whose eyes were
alert and watchful, and perhaps slight
ly puzzled in a poker face; Bill Nc
Cord, grimly expressionless; Bob Elliot,
looking sardonic and self-sufficient !;
and a blond Norwegian-faced young
deputy named Willie Helmar.
"You'all just have a cup of coffee
and make yourselves at home" Ken
lucky said Sheriff, Campo and /
would like to talk to you minute.

"All right" Hopper said.

his hands over the stove.

and her face streamed with the tears
that had been held back for so long.
Child, child said Kentucky softly,
"you didn't need to do thatr'
Jean cried out, Don't talk to me
Don't"
The telephone ripped the quiet apart
with a whirring clamor.
Kentucky stepped to the phone and
took the receiver down. "Wellg'
who's that?" came the small voice
over the wire.
Kentucky Jones, at the Bar Hook"
"This is Floyd Hopper. Kentucky,
you sure got me up in the air. There
amt any question about islanders

in his hand"
"Well?
"It's your move, Kentucky. By Cd,
| it sure is time this thing was cleared
up! What goes on here, man? Put a
name to itr'
Jean said in a strangled sort of
voice, us that the sheriff.
"Just a minute, Hopper" Kentucky
said, and turned to Jean.
"What-what are ysu going to do?"
what can I do? Your father has
stampeded us all. If I'd had another
week I could have gentled this thing,
| but now the whole works has blown
| up under us. All we can do is try to
ride it through to finish, nowr He
turned back to the phone "Are you
there, Hopper"
| "Yes, I'm here"

you have to, but get him. Give dep
uty the job of keeping hold of him,
and don't let him out of your sight

the sheriff's voice from Waterman. 81
had that from Campo before you called.
What's the matter with you fellers
out thereY'
For a moment Kentucky Jones fall
tered, and his face went blank, but he
spoke to the phone again. "All right,
Then go out TO the SO and get Bill
McCOrd. When you've got both Ted
Baylor and Bill McCord, bring them
out here"
What If Bob Elliot wants to come
along with Bill McCord?" the sheriff
asked. "McCord is Elliot's foreman,
Elliot'l probably want to come along
and stand by"
If Elliot wants to come, let him. ]
don't care what Elliot does. You bring
Baylor and McCord. When you've done
that, I'll give you the man that killed
Mason"
(which of 'em is it?" the sheriff de-
manded.
Hold the rope a minute" Kentucky
turned to where Campo Ragland sat.
Campo" he demanded, why did you
send for Ted Baylor?'
Campo Ragland, returning slowly
/ from the distances, stared at Kentucky
moment, almost as If without recog-
milton. Then he got up and walked
toward the door, slowly and unsteadily,
| like an aged man. His voice was hard
ly more than a whisper "To HI with
you," he said. ITO hi with you all. -
Kentucky turned back to the phone
Il said" came Sheriff HOpper's voice,
(which one of 'em is it,"
Neither one" said Kentucky. He
hung up the receiver.

CHAPTER XI

Kentucky Jones came into the Bar
Hook layout on the dead run, dropped
off his horse at the door and went
pushing into the house He made his
way straight to the little crank-sided
wall telephone, and belled Waterman.
1t was one of the deputies who, aft
er a prolonged delay, finally answered
from Sheriff Hopper's Office.
Talking from the Bar Hook" Ken
lucky said. Has Sheriff Hopper left
yetT'
yeah, he left about three minutes
ago. Wait, now! Yeah, there goes his
car by, in the street.
Run out and catch him." Kentucky
yelled into the phone. Shout your
lungs out-but stop him.
Over the line came the rattle of a
dropped receiver.
There followed a protracted wait. 1t
seemed to Kentucky Jones that an
hour passed while he stood at the tele-
phone waiting for the deputy TO return.
But the wire opened again at last, and
it was not the deputy who came back
TO the phone.
This is Floyd Hopper speaking"
said the small voice from Waterman.
who's that?"
This is Kentucky Jones at the Bar
Hook"
"oh, yeah? What the HI do you
want?'
I've found out something. Do as 1
say and you'll have your man in six
hours"
why the devil should 1 do like you
sayT' came HOpper's voice, sourly.
"I'n give you proof" said Kentucky.
IF I'm wrong you can tell me TO 60
TO HI All l ask is that you test it
for yourself"
And when is all this going to beT'
said the sheriff.
Right now" said Kentucky. You
can shake down the proof of what 1
know in less than five minutes from
right where you sit.''
There was long pause at the other
end of the wire. Kentucky was almost
ready to jiggle the hook, to see if the
connection had been broken. What is
it you want, Jones?" came Hopper's
voice at last.
Have you got the bullets that killed
Zack Sanders?" Kentucky said.
-Of course I've got 'eml"

DIETARY HABITS
NEED FOSTERING
EARLY IN CHILD

Nothing is quite so important to
health as food. The wellbeing of
a child depends on it, and his flu
ture stamina will reflect nutritive
discrepancies In babyhood.
The mother who thinks that there
is time enough ahead for corrective
diet is laboring under traditional
delusion that up until two years of
age and sometimes longer, milk is
the sum total of everything.
Milk is the warp and the wool of
what it takes to get through life,
and especially at it's beginning. But
it needs supplementing, because its
chemistry is low in a few needed es-
sentials and the child, set in his all
milk diet. resists other foods.
Doctors Prescribe Varied Foods.
Doctors long ago recognized the
value of adding other foods to the
diet Of milk, early in babyhood, In
order to offset future finicky appe-
tites. Thus the infant of six weeks
gets his cod-liver oil and orange
juice or tomato juice; little later
a spoonful or two of prepared vege-
table juice or even the strained veg
etable itself. At a period that in
the past would have been consid-
cred murderous he gets his bit of
cereal. part of the yolk of an egg,
a snack of baked potato and mashed
stewed fruit.
Whatever today's baby is given,
should, of course. be absolutely I'M
der the doctors direction. There is
difference in babies.
But the great truth that many
mothers do not know is that chill
dren with touchy appetites at six
or eight or ten years Of age, are
the results of fixed preference in
babyhood.
Caution Must Be Exercised.
Another thing that should be re-
membered is that as milk must be
the alpha and omega of his meal,
therefore the amounts of other
food given must not be so great
that the willingness to take milk is
decreased.
The doctor will give you lists and
schedules for feeding. My sugges-
tons here are only for one purpose.
That is to show why and "how''
aversions to needed foods are start
ed. Food habits, which mean flavor
habits, have to be cultivated early.

This declaration was Immediately
denounced IN government quarters
as absurd, mischievous and a fan
