Take Banner now-this tough boy
you've been Dragging about-why
it would just about break his heart
to be separated from his harem.
Rob wouldn't have the heart to do
it, would you, Rob?"
Harris grinned. "Well-sure. I
spend my life on horseback any,
way, and now that I'm off on a
little visit for bit of relaxation,
suppose the thing to do is ride some
more. I hope you can give me
good mount"
Rob turned to Howard. "What
horses are up in the corrals now,
Howard?"
"Taggert and some geldings,
-Shorty-Highboy-"
run up there, Howard, and tell
Gus to saddle Taggert and Bronze
and Shorty"
Half an hour later they were in
the corrals ready to mount. Char
ley Sargent, as always, in his long
Cheyenne pants and wide-brimmed
hat, and the Colonel as neatly turned
out in breaches and boots as Rob
himself.
"You can have your choice" said
Rob generously.
(which do you ride?" asked Char
ley suspiciously.
This blood-bay Taggert-you can
have her-you never felt such
gaits."
Sargent removed his big hat and
scratched his head refectively "She
looks dandy-and I'm sure obliged
to you. But mare-no, I think I'll
take one of the geldings-you take
the mare, Harris
what a grand horse" said the
Colonel looking her over with inter-
est. "All right, I'll take that big
mare" He mounted her and settled
himself in the saddle.
Charley mounted Shorty and Rob
Bronze. and the three men rode out
of the corrals together.
Banner searched the wind.
The mares and colts we're graz
ing in a saucer-like depression of
the upland, the stallion little above
them cropping the sweet tubular
grass along the edge of a ridge in
the hillside. Suddenly he flung up his
head and stood alert, his compact
red-gold body gathered and twisted
to face the alarm, his legs thrust
out against the Irregularities of
the rocky ground, his red tail and
name flying in the wind.
For few seconds he stood
motionless, then moved into action.
At swift trot he circled the mares,
his nose lifted, nostrils vibrating for
the scent. It came now and again
Just the faintest tang
He swept in widening circles,
reaching his nose higher, his eyes
and ears wild and eager.

Hearing this, Howard and Ken
looked at each other, Ken blank and
disconnected, and Howard making
fantastic faces Of alarm and con-
Germ. He mouthed silently, "When
are you going to te1l?" And Ken
mouthed savagely back, "Shut up!"
The boys saw their mothers
eyes upon them and stopped their
face-making.
Ken was very thoughtful. The
morning was going to be crowded
with excitement. Bringing Banner
in. Breeding the Coloners mare. He
began to feel worried. Events al
ways got themselves tangled around
you so that things came out wrong.
Perhaps it would be better to save
his surprise until all this other stuff
was over.
Rob added, "And you're right in
wanting a sorrel, Mort. A sorrel's
the hardest Of all to break and train,
but when you've done it, you've got
horse" He pushed his chair back.
"What about you fellows riding out
with me to get Banner and the
mares?"
"The mares?" repeated Harris.
why bring in the mares? Banners
the one we want"
Rob looked at him, an odd quizzi-
cal CLEAN in his eye, and Charley
Sargent drawled, "You don't really
understand our western broncs,
Mort. They're so damn affectionate.

For CIamorous Fingernails

Do you want to have glamorous
fingernails? Well, you can! Buy a
small bottle of white iodine at your
druggists. Ask for bottle with a
glass stopper. If you can't get the
stopper, use the tail of rat-rail
comb in it's place. Then buy small
jar of any reliable, lubricating hand
cream.
Every night last thing before you
60 to bed, place a drop of white
iodine under each fingernail. Then
massage a dab of the hand cream
into your nail cuticle The white
iodine serves to strengthen the nail.
The lubricating cream softens the
cuticle, stimulates the growth OF
the nail at the root.

When the next Allied smash

Is going to be much harder than it
would have been few weeks ago
when confusion prevailed on the
German side.
For a reason that historians will
have to find. the German high COM
mand has been consistently able to
use time to better advantage than
the Allies. Perhaps this is due to
more battle experience and more
f1exibility in the field command in
the German Army.
1t has amazed many Allied mill
tary men that the Germans have
been able to move their troops at all
under the terrific air pounding they
receive daily, much less with the
skill and speed they have displayed
month after month.
This German rehabilitation of the
western front is not the first time
they have recovered from crushing
blows when they themselves thought
all was lost. For example, when
the Allies first invaded Italy in
l943, the Germans blew up military
installations all the way from Naples
to Florence, indicating they thought
all Italy was lost to them. Then
they found they were able to hold
the Allies temporarily. They poured
