NEWEST STYLES IN
OUTFITS FOR BEACH

From tailored severity to lacy lazi-
ness, the newest beach clothes range,
with in-between numbers Of quaint pas
toral quality and daring modern
themes.
There's a gay nineties air about
swim sui: of polka-dotted red lastex
wooden with white ruffles around the
top and bottom, and forming the Shout
der straps, which cross in the back.
Then there is the English schoolboy
outfit, so popular with beach lollers
this season, which usually consists of
tailor shorts and shirt of navy or
polka-dotted twill, a matching ascot
and a tailored white pique or linen
jacket.
The Bavarian note is with US, too,
in pastoral beach frocks of lowered
glazed chintz, with lace bodices and
sometimes even milkmaid aprons.
There Is the Tyrolean trend, in gay
chintz shirts and skirt-length Stacks,
with suspenders and gay belts. You
wear these with plumed Alpine hat.

CHAPTER VII

That was good housekeeping horse
Kentucky rode that day; so that 1T
was still little before the long winter
dusk as he reached the half way point
on his return ride. His pony pricked
it's ears forward sharply, and Kentucky
brought the horse to a stop while he
listened.
Far ahead-whether 1t came from
the Bake Pan or the Bench he could
not tell-sounded curious drum tat
too, thin popping whisper of gunfire.
For perhaps half minute the far-off
gun talk continued, oddly like the pop
ping of grease in a skillet. Then 1t
stopped abruptly, as if all of the guns
had fallen silent together, and in the
utter quiet of those vast snowy spaces
there was no longer any indication
that anything had happened. Kentucky
Jones struck the spurs to his horse and
went up the irregular trail at the dead
run, unbuttoning his coat as he rode
so that it would not interfere with his
gun.
From somewhere ahead of him in
the trail came a muffled ground MUIR
muir, inarticulate and confused. He
pulled his horse down to gait at
which he could listen to something be-
side his own pony's hoofs. The sound
ahead developed swiftly into the hoof-
drum of an approaching horse, that
supremely stirring, unmistakable sound
of a horse running desperately, full
stretch, half frantic under the punish
ment of spur and quirt.
Kentucky Jones hesitated, then put
his horse ahead again at high lope.
Within two furlongs the approaching
horse burst suddenly from around
jutting outcrop of rock; and he saw
that the rider was Jean Ragland.
SO close were they as they became
visible to each other that as they
pulled up their horses jeans pony
slipped to its launches and almost
went down. 1t recovered itself, how
ever, and the two horses stood blow
ing and stirring restively on their feet,

of tripod there, like as If to repre-
sent well of their own, and t. made
us mad. We threw it down. Coming
on about a mile farther we run into
these four fellers, riding toward us.
Three Of 'em was together, and one
laying back, when we met up. They
come up in front of us and stopped.
One of 'em said, Which one of you is
boss hereY Jim Humphreys said, who
the HI wants to know? One of 'em
says, I see you threw down our well
tripod Jim says, And what If l did?
Well, one word led to another, and
finally one Of 'em. says, On you,
Bishop"
Bishop" said Kentucky.
That's what he called him. Jim
didn't bother to tell him different Then
all of a sudden the guns was out"
"Who pulled the first iron?" Ken
lucky asked.
"Jim did," said Billy Petersen
mournfully. slim, he fired the first
shot. Only he missed. One of the SO
fellers made the quickest draw I ever
see or heard tell of. His first shot put
Jim out of business, think One of
'em took throw at me, and the other
two poured it into Jim as he went
down. grabbed out my gun and 1
threw a shot some place, but I don't
know where, because right then my
d-n pony blew up. He made two or
three pitches and then. he took and
run wild with me for two, three hun
dred yards; pulled his fool head right
back in my lap, but he just run loco,
star gazing. l got him turned around

horse and began firing back. Oh, Cd,
Kentucky-it was terrible! Sitting

do anything-as If we were in another
world"

Hes riding down the rim trail to
Billy and Jim, fit to break his neck.
He wanted me to ride like the devil

"Come on" said Kentucky, jumping
his horse up the trail Jean put her
horse into the trail behind him and
they pushed on a steady run to where
the fork of the trail led up the Bench
to the Bar Hook. Here Kentucky
stopped his horse and Jean pulled in
alongside.

her. Harry Wilson ought to be back
there by now. Tell him to take the

men out here by sun-up tomorrow.

he named three others he wanted, and
four or five alternates in case some
were not to be found. All were men
he knew, now laid off for the winter
at or near Waterman. "Can you remem-
Der those?"
Sure"

Jean pointed.
Kentucky Jones made out a far-off
bottle-shaped dot upon the snow among
the other dark dots that were sage and
grease-wood; he recognized this as
Billy Petersen's fallen horse. He could
not see where Jim Humphreys lay. But

Fright where they are. "


Bob Elliot stared at him again while
this soaked in. Then abruptly, unex-
pectedly, he turned away from Ken
lucky Jones and began to laugh, as
Kentucky had seen him laugh before
in Sheriff Hopper's office at Waterman.
He pressed the back of his hand to his
mouth and seemed to fight the parox-
ysm, which shook him as if he had been
trying to strangle fit of coughing.
This Is rich," he said at last. "Noth-
ing trivial about this transaction, !
HOPPER
Hardly"
$50 now naturally you want to talk
to me-"
Naturally. Both technically and
practically, for the time being 1 am a
part owner of the Bar Hook. More
particularly as regards the Bar Hook
grazing rights"
"In Short" said Elliot, what you
came here to tell me is that your share
in the Bar Hook is fighting share"
"You can call it that"
Bob Elliot lighted a tailor-made Gig
arctic. The ironically humorous glance
of his frosty blue eyes had a snap like
the flick of whip. THAT girl certainly
got you in for something" he said.
"Yes" Kentucky Jones smiled on
one side of his mouth. Until now nei-
Their had mentioned the incident in the
sheriff's office which had terminated
when Kentucky Jones had knocked Bob
Elliot out. He held his peace, and be-
gan the making of a cigarette; but he
thought that Elliot must have known
what was in his mind.
"Pn tell you couple of things for
your own good" Bob Elliot went on.
You're butting into a situation that
you know very little about, Jones. You
seem to think that this little difference
of opinion that's coming up now be-
tween me and Ragland is something
new. 1t isn't. We've had it all the time.
Even without this new crisis brought
on by Mason's death, there never could
have been room for both the Bar Hook
and the SO, in the long run. Sooner
or later one or the other would have
had to go. Up until now I've been
willing to give Ragland break for
the sake Of the peace. 1t just happens
that the way things fall out I'm not
able to baby him any more. Don't you

Early Settlers Chests
Considered Best Friends

The chest was the best friend to the
early settlers of America, not only
after their arrival, but in England be-
fore their departure, for these huge,
solidly constructed pieces served the
purpose of holding large share Of the
worldly goods Of these adventurous
people, says a writer in the Detroit
News.
To the master of the house in New
England usually fell the task Of max
ing the chest and for this reason it
was a simple affair, as there was
much necessary work to be done that
there was little time to spare on max
ing the chests decorative. However,
this did not detract from their charm,
for in the crudeness of line lay their
attractiveness.
The chests made in England were
usually of oak and often had paneled
lids hinged" with wires run through
holes in the lid and back of the
chest.
Oak and pine were often combined
in making the chest In New England,
the top, back and bottom being made
of the latter, and oak for the rest. The
reason for this must have been that
pine was so much easier to work with,
being soft, and 1t is said that 1t Is
the reason so many lids are missing
from the old chests, for the frequent
lifting soon caused the wearing
through OF the wire and the lid soon
became separate piece.
The first chests were without legs,
but the sides extended lower than the
fronts, which allowed it to have the
appearance of legs.

question is public domain"
Sand that you're entitled to Craze

that; and we don't want to see one

Elliot made an impatient gesture
with his cigarette. It'll be long day."
he said cOntemptuously, when you tell
me something about the cattle bust
ness in the rimrock, Jones. If you
think Ragland has a case-ask Campo
why he's sitting back in his corner,
and sending you to make his bluff.
Ask him. You might find out some
thing you need to know"
Kentucky Jones shrugged. II can't
speak for what Campo will do. I've
bought in on the understanding that
the land my cattle are on is Bar Hook
range-has always been Bar Hook
range. I'll tell you straight out, Elliot
Il don't mean to have that range
forced. And If I have to take my boys
and ram your stock right back down
your throat, in order to hold my Craze,
stand from under! It's up to YOU"
Bob Elliot eyed him speculatively.

"Pn make what push l need to, no

'For one thing" Elliot told him, "be-

Ragland you hooked up with yellow
gutter"

Campo's face"
"You think not? I'll tell you one
more thing you don't know about.
understand that you heard Bill McCord
cuss out Lee Bishop, and send him
home with his tail between his legs.
Well, you can take it that Bill was
only copying after his boss. Because
this range has seen the day when
sent Campo Ragland home with his
tail between his legs, under much the
same circumstances And that wasn't
so long ago. Not so long ago!"

"Suits me-" Elliot agreed. "Don't

chance to smash the two of you al

turned her horse and was gone in

Kentucky Jones took the Bake Pan
trail. Lee Bishop was twenty minutes
ahead of him in reaching Billy Peter
sen and Jim Humphreys; but he had
sighted Kentucky on the down trail,
and he waited now for him to come
up.
"They got Jim Humphreys" said Lee
Bishop morosely. II bet he never lived

what about Billy?"
Billy Petersen was leaning against
his dead horse, his legs stretched upon
his folded saddle blanket. In the fail
ing light his face looked a pale gray
green. 'Tm all right" he said without
conviction.
HE busted his ankle, some way,
when his horse Topped. We better take
him over to the lower camp, Kentuck-
