The custom of decorating the table at Hallowe'en in black and yellow, or black and gold, or black and orange, per- petuates the favorite colors of the ancient sorcerers. The yellow had its origin in the fruits of the earth, for example the green ap- ple, then the yellow or golden fruit, or the green ear of the corps and th yellow sheat. The black represents the sable robes of the Druid necromancers who wore that color in tribute to Shanan, the lord of death and evil spirits who once p year went on the ram- page on the eve of the feast, The Druids Began It For the Druids were great magi- cians. The wxord comes from the Gaelic "druidh", a magician. 'I'he Druids were a religious order among the ancient Celts, and their office appears to have combined that of priest, physician, wonder- worker, historian and law-giver, the order comprising three prin- cipal grades--bards, vates or prophets, and the Druids proper, the priests. It is not known whether Druidism was a pre-Cel- tic religion taken over by the Celts from the aborigines of Eur- ope, but. the Celts themselves as- cribed its origin to the British. The fact that mistletoe was held sacred had led to the belief that . Druidism was originally a form of tree worship, and why not the apple tree with its growth of fruit and mistletoe.

He returns to his Circle L ranch to find his father dead and sinister forces at work, trying to make him violate his parole so that he can again be railroaded to pri- son. The Brockwells and their gang are plotting to gain possession of Circle L ranch' and the property of Mona Hall, a reighbor and life- long friend of Slim Loyale. CHAPTER V Rooney's wrinkled face creased into a grin and he gnawed a piece off a plug of tobacco. "Me," he twanged, "I've lived a long time, and I've allus found that the wolf with the longest howl packs his tail the lowest. Slim, how are yuh?" And he stepped over to deliberately wring Slim's hand. No longer in doubt as to how the feeling was running in the Wild lorse just now, Sarg Brockwell herded Leo through the door ahead - of him. When they were gone, Jig- ger Starbuck hesitated a moment before leaving. "Remember, Blue, the law swings just as wide a loop for yuh as any- body else." "Aw, hell!" snorted Dakota. "Al- lus prattlin' about yore gol-blasted law. Who's breakin' it anyhow? Just remember yoreself, Starbuck-- yuh may be sheriff, but -yuh -ain't Gawd Almighty. An' that self-same loop yuh speak of would fit yore shoulders as well as mine. C'mon Slim, Joe, Spud; I'm buyin' a drink." . Pulled Out Ahead Being left thus pointedly out of the invitation, Jigger Starbuck cursed beneath his breath, then left the place. Ten minutes later, Slim Loyale and Dakota Blue rode north out of Pinnacle. A survey of the street showed that Sarg and Leo Brock- well had evidently pulled out ahead of them. Jigger Starbuck stood in the doorway of his office, his face expressionless, his eyes cold. For several miles Slim and Da- kota rode in silence. Slim was thoughtful, his eyes steadily upon the trail ahead. Finally he shifted in his saddle and looked up. "Dakota, just what yere yuh drivin' at with those remarks yuh made to Starbuck?" he asked. Dakota grunted. "Just prospect- in' some an' seein' if 1 couldn't turn up a little pay dirt." "What kind of pay dirt?" "What kind d'yuh suppose, Slim? Look at it this way.

Loskin' back at it now, it shore had all the earmarks of a frame- up. Yuh used yore haid, Dakota."

"It's tough," said Slim a little hoarsely. "I'm touchy as hell now. I did a lot of thinkin' back there at Jarillo, an' jt didn't sweeten me none. My pride is plumb ragged an' easy to scratch. But yuh got the right idee, Dakota, [I'll remem- ber that." An hour later the two riders drew rein L:fore the Circle L ranch house. At sight of it, Slim's throat thickened. Home! And yet, it was not the home that it had been. For it was empty now--devoid of that grizzled, kindly, --booming-voiced presence that had been Bart Loy- ale, Slim's father. There was a group of punchers at the corrals, and as Slim dismount: ed, one by one they came forward to shake Slim's hand. Their voiced greetings were shsrt, terse, but sincere. The Circle L. employed five rien besides Dakota Blue, the foreman. There were Roy O'Brien, short, barrel-bodied, red-headed; a fight- ing, square-shooting, explosive lit- tle Irishman, Steve Owens and Charley Quin who were inseparable pals, fun-loving, rollicking boys both game to the core and very faithful to their hire. Stoney Sheard was a middle-aged puncher, silent, still-featured, gruff and unsmiling, who had probably been closer to old Bart lL.oyale than any of the other punchers.. The fifth of the group was Oscar Olson, a big, lumbering Swede with a shock of unruly tow hair.' Oscar was the cook, and a better one nev- er stirred a pot of beans. Beyond a quiet, "Hello, boys," Slim said nothing, and the punch- ers were wordless in their stifled emotions. Slim went directly to the ranch house, alone. Dakota -Blue turned to the rest. "Pretty badly cut up, Slim is," he said grufily. "He's home now, an' Bart ain't here to meet him, Don't speak of the Ole Man to him unless Slim brings up the proposition first." ; : Roy O'Brien's eyes were all. squinted up. muttered. "Shore, an' me heart aches fer him. He's a fine lad, Slim is, and he'll be after carryin' on man-size." Dakota nodded. "Sarg an' Leo Brockwell tried to stir up trouble in town just now, They know damn well the kid is on parole, an' they ain't gonna overlook a chance to get him to make a. break that'll bust it. So, any time for the next year an' a half, if yd're with Slim an' yuh run into somethin' where there's fighting to be done, I want yuh to shove Slim aside an' take over the quarrel yoreselves, Sav- vy?"
