SYNOPSIS

Billy Wheeler, wealthy young cattle.
man, arrives at the 94 ranch, summoned
by his friend Horse Dunn, its elderly and
quick-tempered owner, because of q
mysterious murder. Billy is In love with
Dunn's niece Marian, whom he has not
seen for two years. She had rejected his
suit and is still aloof. Dunn's ranch IS
surrounded by enemies, including Link
Bender, Pinto Halliday and Sam Cald-
well, whom he has defeated in his efforts
to build cattle kingdom. Dunn directs
his COW hands, Val Douglas, Tulare Cal
lahan and others to search for the killers
horse. He explains to Billy that the
morning before he had come upon blood
stained ground at Short Greek and found
the trail of shod and unshod horse. The
shod horses rider had been killed. The
body had disappeared. Link Bender had
arrived at the scene and read the signs
the way he had. Dunn reveals that be-
cause Of a financial crisis the ranch may
be In jeopardy; his enemies may make
trouble, since Sheriff Walt Amos is
friendly with them. He says he has
asked Old Man Coffee, the country's best
trailer, to join them. Dunn and Billy
meet Amos, Link Bender, his son "the
K1d" and cayuse Gayetano; an indian
found the slain mans horse, but the sad
die Is missing. Almost supernaturallyp
cattle attracted to the scene by the blood
stained ground, stamp out all the traces.
Dunn is angered when Amos tells him
not to leave the county. Following an
argument, Bender draws his gun, but
Dunn wounds him in the arm. Back at
the ranch Old Man Coffee arrives, with
q pack of hounds. Coffee goes in search
of the dead mans saddle. Dunn tells
Billy that Marian Is incensed at him for
trying to settle disputes by bloodshed. He
reveals that the ranch is really hers, also
that he recently sold his own ranch In
Arizona and that his partner, Bob Flagg,
is en- route with the money. Billy &C.

Creek. 'Kid' Bender, now a deputy.
rides up. They have an argument, and
by trick Bender tries to shoot him.
Billy saves himself by plunging against
Bender's pony and ''the Kid is injured.
Coffee returns to the ranch with the sad
die and reveals that Cayuse Cayetano is
on the trail for Sheriff Amos. The saddle
belonged to Lon Magoon, smal-time
cattle thief. Billy learns he is to be
arrested for assaulting kid" Bender. On
the sheriff's orders, Billy and the ranch
men drive into Inspiration. On the way.
Coffee tells him that the murder victim
was not shot by the man riding with him.

Fountain Pens Affected by Altitude,
According to an Official of Airline

Old Man Altitude still holds a de-
cided edge over the fountain pen
manufac acturers, according to an off.
cial of an airline corporation.
The challenge of high attitudes
has been accepted by at least two
of the largest pen designers in the
world, and to date the decision has
always gone to the rarefed air. De-
spite the best efforts Of pen manu-
facturers over a period of several
years, fountain pens still insist on
discharging ink on people who are
careless in opening them above 5000
feet. ill.,.
In the early days of air transpor-
tation, when the problem was still
new to the fountain pen industry, a
fountain pen could be depended
upon to act as real fountain and
provide the writer with a squirt.
Since those days most manufac-
turers have succeeded in improv-
ing their product so the actual squirt
is eliminated but no one has been
entirely successful in eliminating
profuse leakage. >'<s=
The reason for this is that the
fountain pen. filed at normal alti.
tudes on the ground, has pressure

Wheeler looked at her. The blue

constant pressure within the pen

fact that present day transport
planes operate at attitudes almost
invariably above 5000 feet whereas
the old-time transports seldom ex-
