Jim came to the front of the

twice before he recognized him. "Lo,
Pesky," he said. WAS it a bear or q

Tough men of his sort who look for

The cowpuncher went to the bunk
house, his aching body and face
palning him every foot of the way.
He took his As from his roll and
pushed 1t down between his shirt
and trousers. This was no time
to use it, but he did not intend to
be caught again in . position where
he could not defend himself.
A man with face almost as raw
as pounded steak walked into the
office of the Sentinel and asked
Anne where he could find Jim Sill
colt. The young woman did not
answer at once. She was a little
careful about directing men to Jim
until she had looked them over.
DO you want to see him on busi-
ness?" she asked.
"On his business" the man an

Anne had never seen such a bat

audacity. Suits me fine. I can get

The narrowed eyes of Moseiy
flashed venom. 'For two cents
would thresh you within an inch
Of your life, YOU fool. If I wouldn t
soil my hands doing 1t. Get out of
here. Don't ever let me see your
face again."
Kennedy backed to the door.
I'm on my way, and glad to co."
he said. There amt a man on
the place don't despise you-and
yore lousy foreman too.
He vanished from the entrance,
but Jud PrentiSs was on his feet
In an instant. 1t was amazing
how swiftly man so big and
awkward could cover the ground.
He was on Pesky before The man
had reached the porch steps.
Prentiss Surprises Kennedy.
All the bilious rage banked in the
foreman during the past few minutes
boiled up in him. His fury at
Mosely, his jealousy, his anger at
Kennedy for having been present
at his humiliation, all worked to-
gether to welcome an outlet of
violent action.
AS Pesky turned, Jud's hairy fist
lashed out and cought the cowboy
on the jaw. Kennedy was GAIA

he could scramble up Prentiss
landed on his body with both feet.
Pesky rolled away and reached his

again.

no defense. His legs were buckling

Arms dropped and torso sagged.
Prentiss sent home a piledriver

went down and out.
Jud clenched his teeth and moved
toward him.
That will be enough. unless you
want to kill him." Mosely said
callously. He was leaning against

pockets. quite massacre, Jud

You wouldn't care II I did kill
him, except for being scared folks
would criticise YOU" Prentiss said
sullenly, his big fists still clenched,
his chest heaving with violent
exertion.
Don't do it on my ranch"
Kennedy No Coward.
Kennedy opened his eyes and sat
up painfully. His swollen and dis
torted face looked as ii it had been
pounded with a hammer.
Roll up your war bag and get
out of here" Mosely ordered. And
don't stay in Blanco. Keep going"
The cowboy had taken a terrible
beating. but he was no coward.

The range rider knew he had been
trapped. Mosely had suspected him
and sent him to SWeetWater Spring
to give him a chance to ride across
to Bars ranch. With the sleeve of
his shirt Kennedy wiped tiny sweat
beads from his brow. There was
anger in him, but there was also

"You sent for me, Mr.. Mosely,"
Kennedy said.
The ranch owner did not even
look at Pesky. Mosely's gaze was
on the foreman II investigated that
gun fight too," he told Prentiss.
you told me Silcott began It.
That's not the case. Sneve fired
the first shot and the rest of you
Joined in with him. You shot at
Silcott while he was crossing the
street. He hadn't an idea you were
anywhere around. Did you lie in
wait for him?"
No" exploded Prentiss. "Sneve
saw him and went crazy with the
heat. He had to back his play,
didn't we?'
"Why? If he plays fool do you
have to do it too?" Mosely added
with jeering laugh, Il must say
Silcott made you look like bunch
Of amateurs You're not thorough
enough to be bad man, Jud."
Make up yore mind one way or
another. Russ" the foreman snarled.
First you roast me for shooting at
him, then for not rubbing him out.
What in Mexico do you want?"
Mosely sat beside the table which
served as a desk. his forearm rest
ing on it, his jaw thrust forward.
I'll tell you what don't want. One
thing is to have to send a nurse
along with my hands when they go
to town for fear some lone scoundrel
will catch them in a huddle and
wipe them out Another is for them
to interfere in my affairs without
orders and make trouble I have to
explain away. I'll decide when Sill
colt, or anybody else, has run on
the rope long enough"
Kennedy Is Puzzled.
Kennedys gaze whipped from the
Hat T boss to Prentiss and back
again. He did not quite get this
situation. Russ had not sent for him
to cuss him out about the Blanco
fight, for he had not been one of
the men in town that day. Pesky
was uneasy. for private reasons of
his own which he did not want to
discuss, least of all with Mosely.
But why not wait to call him on the
carpet. if that was what he was here
for, after he had finished laying
down the law to Prentiss? The cow
puncher was no fool His cropping
mind found the reason. Mosely
wanted to humiliate the foreman by
putting him in his place before
one of the men. Perhaps too he
wanted the Hat T hands to realize
that they were taking orders from
the owner and not from Jud except
In details of routine work.

AS we round out the
seventh year of emanci-
patton from National
Prohibition, 1t seems IN
order for us to take a
quick glance at some of
the things Repeal has
meant to our Nation.
Seven years ago there
was no payroll of a le-
galized liquor industry
in this country.
Today the payroll of
that industry is ST, OOO,-
100000 a year
Seven years ago no
one was employed in a
legalized liquor indus
try in the United States.
Today over 1000, 900
people depend on this
industry for their JOBS.
Seven years ago our
public treasures receiv-
ed no tax revenues from
a legalized liquor indus
try.
Today a revenue of
more than 81, 100000
900 a year is received
from this source.
These facts give only
a small part of the story
of what Repeal has
meant to this country.
The other parts of flat
story -.partic ula rly
those which have to do
with social conditions,
crime, vice and corrup-
ton under bootlegging,
as contrasted with the
situation today-are so
we'll known by this time
that they hardly need
to be retold.
