MIKE BENTLEY -- wealthy rancher, knew too much about auto accidents. * . Ll LAST WEEK: Monnie tralle Larry, demands an explanation of his night vigils. He tries to send her home, then confesses he loves her. She loves him, too. He tells her all he knows of the narcotic rings, of his suspicions that Bentley Is the head of the gang. The plane comes again. Larry rushes off, for getting his carbine. CHAPTER XI Larry noticed the carbine was missing when he stopped at the canyon gate. It was too lafe to turn back for it now. The plane was al- most overhead. In a (ew. seconds the lights of Bentley's landing tield would blaze against the sky. Larry knew he'd have to take bis chances. The black was canyon at a dead the sky Mght up field lights went on The plane nad come in high, was circling the. field now: Larry turned up a trail leading up to the plains. When he reached the top he was less than a- mile from the field. The ship was on the ground, the motor car beside it, both standing ont sharply against the lights from Bentley's hangar. Larry had the binoculars out in a flash, sludied the plane and the men heside it. There was Bentley --the one with riding boots--talk- ing to the pilot. They talked for several minutes, Bentley's arm _swung in an arc and the lights went off. The Plane Disappears The plane's motor yoared again, recing up the run. Larry saw as the landing \ ® "Jean used to have lots of dates.

The huge doors swung up. The plane disappeared inside, "Not taking off right away. That'll give me a chance to take a look at that ship," Larry told the black as 'he dismounted. He uncolled his lariat, tled the reins to the loop and fastened the other end to a mesquite hush, Better to have the horse tied in one spot than to let him go grazing around. He ran on toward the hangar. Fach time the airline Deacon swung around he dropped flat. No use, letting some sharp-eyed look- out catch sight of him, if Bentley had a lookout. 1t took him 15 minules to get within 100 yards of the building. Bentley, the pilot and: the others wero still inside. The automobile was parked beside the hangar doors. Larry crawled along until he could reach out and touch one of the lights, marking the houndaries of the field. Bentley and the pilot camo from a door--on the side of the hangar nearest Lariry---got into the car, Two other men followed, jumped' on the running boards. Larry wailed, holding his breath, while the car sped up the dvive toward Bentley's house, When the ear had gone, Larry relaxed. Lucky Bentley had built his hangar half a mile from his corrals and his house. They'd be up there for a while now, talking business ov getting a drink. Someone was still in the hangar, but he'd probably be working on tho plane. Undoubtedly tho pilot had had trouble or he would have taken off again at once. Might have ruin low on gas. A It he could get inside, Larry figured he might find some place to hide, might overhear. Bentley and the flyer. He might even dis- cover the clue that would convict Bentley. Ie decided lo risk it, *. 4 He crossed the intervening space to the side of the hangar at a run, paused panting at the door. Then he edgeil it open. There was a light near the mo- tor of the plane. Larry could sce the mechanic's shoulders hunched over the motor, his feet on the step-ladder beside the plane. The rest of the hangar was in semi- darkness. In Bentley's Lalr % Bentley's own ship was nearer. A high-winged, speedy cabin ship, It he could cross to the plaie, he could slip ingide Bentley's own ghip, overhear everything that was gald. It would be the last place they'd think of looking for him." The "méchanic from the ladder, Larry froze against the wall, But the man turned, walk. ed to a bench at the far side of the hangar, In that m®uent Larry slipped through the door, clpsed it softly, and crossed to the cabin plane.

He laughed. "Imagine any of these dumb cowmen ever getting wise to the face that Mike Bentley's running dope. And even if they did, no one could prove it, "You keep the" stuff coming. You'll get your money, on the line, when" you bring it in." "That's afl right by me," Larry "heard the pilot answer, I'l} be back next week, You'll get the usual" tip. . . . Ship's okay now. Im getting out of here. I'll ston at the usual place for gas." Got this thing down to a system, Larry thought, probably sets down in a pasture at daylight, gets ges and takes off the next night. Pio- tects Bentley, too. The hangar doors rattled open, the ship creaked as it was wheeled outside. Larry heard the motor start, settle into a rear, then fade away. The hangar was bright as the field lights went on for the takeoff. Then all was quiet.

Bentley was searching the lockers, slamming doors, eurs- ings "Turn on the field lights, all the Mghts!" Bentley yelled, "Get out- side, Bill, see if you can find ary- thing, I'l wait here. We've gol to get that fellow, He knows too much," Bill muttered something, med the door as he went out. Larry held his breath, praying that Bentley wouldn't think ot his plane, Thero were few hiding places in the bare hangar, and that meant fewer places for Bentley to search, Larry heard Bentley running up the fron steps to the tower atop the building. He thought of risking a dash out of the hangar, decided against it. They'd shcot him down like a rabbit.' Mis chance was gone in that second. Bill rejurnad shouting, "Mike--Mike--look what I found!" Bentley came crashing down the steps. "Field glasses! Where did you get those, Bill?" > "Just outside the lights. Almost stepped on them." 3% "He's either in here, or he's got clear away," Bentley said. There was a pause. Larry could almost feel Bentley's eyes on the cabin plane. Then-- "Bill get that tommy-gun from' the locker. Put a row of holes slam. along the side of the cabin there-- just behind the seat." He raised his: voice. "Hey, you, inside the plane. Do you want to come out now, or shall we drag you out?" "I'll come oul!" Larry answered.

CHAMBERS : Lenten Dishes As the Lenten season is ap- proaching it seems appropriate that this week we should say some- thing about fish. . Then too the use of fish is helping the con- sumption of Canadian foods. Fish is food which is very high in vita- min content, especially A and D. Vitamin A, as you will remember, promotes growth and enables the body to resist disease, Vitamin D helps the body assimilate cal- cium and phosphorus, aids in building good bones and teeth. Fish are rich in iodine, which is always a preventative of goitre. Shell fish' usually contain copper, which is bery beneficial to the anaemic. When we consider all the good points to be gained from eating fish we really should make it an all year food.
