CHAPTER XVI

The New York collegians had gathered for their lunch at the Ace High Hotel, had joined in rousing yell for the old west and Roselee, when shot cracked out on the thin desert air. Instantly the group quieted.
 Then a second and louder re- port was heard. But by now the tourists were convinced it was all in fun. One member of the party whispered Bandits" in 8 mock hysteria and still others pretended to duck under the table to safety. Suddenly then everybody laughed.
 Everybody, that Is, except Dick Bancroft and Roselee Dale.
 These two, as if by some elec- trical timing, turned instantly to stare at each other from across the room. Instantly, too, they moved toward the front of the hotel hallway, serious of face, quietly alarmed. Nobody noticed them Then singing was started and Mrs. Hogan came bustling in, smiling broadly, carrying a great tray piled high with barbecue sandwiches.
 There were no more shots. Roselee and Dick came together at the doorway and looked out. They saw nothing. Nothing save the saddled horses that were hitched across the street, heads low as if dozing, and Mrs. Hogan's buros who seemed asleep on their feet. Roselee and Dick turned from the door, looking hastily over the crowd.
 You see Christy, and Frank linl" Rcselee asked.
 No" said Dick, looking. They're not in here. They were minute ago."
 Did you hear those shots, Dick?"
 Sure. Everybody did"
 Whatever do you suppose? Nobody'd be shooting now, at noon."
 Well, somebody was. There's

Christine still stood in her win- dow. framed there, the lovely blue silk skirt and white neckerchief she was wearing-and her brand- new cowboy hat--all combining to make of her a portrait of a vest ern maiden come to life on the gray bank building wall. Actually, of course, Time had ticked out a few seconds Chris tine lifted her weapon as she saw the man actually get into the sad- dle. CRACKl CRACK CRACK! She fired three times more. But evidently she hit nothing this time, for the horse was turn ing and Quait was leaning low and cursing. But the fury of Quait made him hesitate for & moment more. He raised his own weapon, aimed 1t at Christine and fired.
 "oO-o-O-oH" yelled Roselee Dale again, and leaped off the hotel porch in a run. The people behind her had been motionless until then.
 Quait spurred his horse with his heels, started of at gallop down the street.
 Nobody knew what Roselee Dale was doing or hoping to do. Per- haps she herself acted from some unspoken urge. While the tourists looked she united the other horse and mounted 1t, turned 1t to follow the man Quait.
 "HEYl HEY, FOR GODS SAKE!" young Dick Bancroft was shouting.
 He literally forced his way through the press of collegians and ran down the ghost town street. But he was too late! (To Be Continued)

Clarence Muse, Steffi Duna, Sally Blanc, Ed- win Maxwell and many others Con- tributing much to the general effec- tiveness of the music, is the world famous Hall Johnson Choir, noted group of colored singers.
 The second smash hit of the pro. gram "The Saint in London" expos- es the audacious methods used by A modern Robin Hood to capture a gang of notorious criminals, while seeking to unravel the threads of a ghastly murder of which he is sus- pected.
 Third in series of exhilarating productions based upon the interna- tionally famous books by Leslie Charteris, the film presents George Sanders in the role of one who has dedicated his life to surpressine crime in all corners of the world.

STRAND

Only two days remain in which to see the finetwin feature program currently at Warner Bros. Strand theater. Spotlighting the bill is Calling pr. Kildare" with Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore in the leading roles; also Oracle Allen and Warren William in comedy drama "The Oracle Allen Murder Case.
 Starting Wednesday the Strand will offer another of its popular "bip hit" programs with Invitation to Happiness" co-starring Fred Mac Afurray and Irene Dunne as the headliner.
 This marks the first time that the two. stars have appeared to- gether on the screen and from ad- vance reports they are better than ever. Supporting them are a host of favorites which include Charlie Ruggles, youthful Billy Cook, new child star, William Collier. and many others.
 It is . stirring story of the ring and is outstanding for it's qualities of warmth. and for it's very human approach to the problems of a young couple who get married despite the fact that their upbringing and enc vironment have ben radically differ- ent. Don't fall to see it.
 on the same show will be a thrill- 1ng drama entitled "Undercover Doctor" with Lloyd Nolan, ]. Carol aish and Janice Logan in the fea. Cured roles.

STATE

Performances this evening at the healthfully air conditioned Warner Brothers State theater concludes the engagement of George Raft and Claire Trevor in T Stole A Million" also Sandy, the screens new won- der baby in Unexpected Father" with Mischa Auer, Shirley Ross and Dennis oKeefe. If you haven't view ed this show, plan to do so today; you'll enjoy 1t from start to finish.
 A new sort of campus picture with a giant cast of favorite young screen personalities makes its local debut at the air conditioned State tomorrow with the presentation of the hilar- ious comedy of college life, Million Dollar Legs" as the headliner of the double hit bill.
 Betty Grable, Jackie Coogan, Joyce Mathews, Donald O'Connor, Larry Crabbe and John Hartley are the top members of the cast. Though they have been in pictures only a short time, each of the group has clicked" with local film fans.
 The film is different in the re- spect that 1t is a ib-tickler" about the less serious side of campus life. It has all the romance of a moon- light campus night, with the queen of the co-eds turning her charms on a handsome young athlete for the sake of Alma Mater and her own heart. Besides this 1t has two thrill- packed races; one on the track and the other on the water. Incidentally, the latter race ends in one of the funniest sequences of the season. And between the races, something's s doing every second.
 All in all here is a picture that you can't afford to miss. It's just chock full of chuckles, laughs and giggles.
 On the same show as the second big hit will be Grand Jury Secrets" with John Howard and Gall Patrick in the principal roles.
 The big show of the year is com- ing to the State on Friday! Watch the newspapers for further details.

From 1868 until 1889 the Presi-

year set aside the last Thursday
In November as Day of Thanks
giving. And the governors Of the
various states dutifully followed
the presidents example by MAX

celebration was to tie the Union

WOMAN,S REALM
Clarifying
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff writer

She knows that Q great deal Of
makeup is'not appropriate for active
sports, Of course, but the beauty
minded winter sportswoman remem-
bers that using cosmetics too SPAR
inC-y on cold, blustery days is pretty
bad for her skin.
In other words, she makes sure
that her makeup for skiing and
skating Is lightly applied to give her
skin q natural, fresh look, but ut
the same time Is heavy enough to
provide a little protection against
winter winds.
Before getting into her ski toys,
she cleanses her face and throat
with cream. Then, II her skin Is
quite dry, applies layer of night
cream, pats It In for a few seconds,
and removes 1t with soft tissues.
Cream rouge goes on next, then
power. She presses quantities Of the
latter into the dewy film that re-
mains after removal, but not wash
ing away Of the cream, and lets
It set before brushing off the excess
with O powder brush or q piece OF
clean, fluffy cotton.
LET LIPRoUGE
SET WELL
She dries her lips, puts on lip
stick and, remembering not to mois-
ten her lips, gives the color at least
five minutes to set before plotting
with cleansing tissue. To prevent
chapping, she often puts q second
layer Of lipstick over the first. Some
times she uses a colorless pomade
instead Of lipstick for the second
layer.
She wouldn't dream Of wearing
eye makeup with sports clothes.
But she does find that q fine film
Of plain white vaseline gives her
eyelids a dewy look and protects
them from Icy blasts.
In addition, she uses hand To-
ton Immediately before going
out AS soon as she gets back
from the ski jaunt, she washes
her hands in lukewarm (not hot)
water, messages cream into them,
washes them again and applies
hand lotion once more. This sim
pie post skiing treatment takes
little time, but 1t keeps her hands
soft and smooth all winter.
