Holmes CHAPTER II The other rider was young, some- where in his early twenties. Well set up, with flat muscled, powerful shoulders. His face was smooth and tanned, his eyes blue, his hair; curly and brown. Gay, sparkling youth lay over him like a mantle. A clean lusty, carefree kid, in love with life and hungering for all its wonders. Their clothes were those of the range, worn but substantial. Both carried a heavy gun, slung at the right hip. The elder of the two nodded to Starbuck. “Howdy,†he drawled, “Wonder could yuh show us the trail to' the Box D outfit? Gent back in the store told us mebbe they could use a couple of hands out there.†“Sure,†replied Starbuck. “Glad to. Fact is I’m riding out there my- self. Glad to have company.†"You ain’t San Juan Delevan by. any chance?†“No. I’m Ed Starbuck. I own the Cattleman’s Bank, back in town.†Headed South “Shore I’m glad to know yuh. I’m Tex Whipple. This chuckle-haired cub is Johnny Clehoe, Kid, shake hands with Mister Starbuck.†Introductions over, the three jog- fed steadily south. Tex and Star- uck rode side by side while Johnny "brought up the rear, gazing with lazy eyes over the heat shimmered sage. “That big plateau straight ahead is the Box D range,†said Starbuck presently. “One of the finest hold- ings in the country. Lots of water, fine pasture and a stand of pine trees what gives the lie to this damn- ed desert. I shore envy ole San Juan, livin’ up among those cool trees.†“'Runs a pretty good spread, does lie?†asked Tex. “Yeah. Ordinarily, it’s A-l. He’s Jjad some hard luck lately though. Two months ago he was drftvin’ a thousand head of prime Herefords across the upper end of the Kanab Desert to the shippin’ pens at Saw- telle an’ they sprang a stampede. ’Tween the desert an’ some rustlers he lost better’n eight hundred head. It was a damn heavy jolt. They was prime stock, the pick of his herd. Then he got his spine hurt in the stampede besides. Boss tripped an’ â- threw him. Doc says he’s due to sit in a wheel chair for the rest of his days.†“Shore that’s tough,†nodded Tex. “Mebbe the kid an’ me’ll have our ride for nothin’.†A Deep Game “Can’t say as to that. Punchers do a lot of driftin’ this time o’ year, Delevan may be able to use yuh.†It was a deep game Spelle was plà yjng. His determination to smash Ed Starbuck was only a step towards your Pots* Pans & dairy Equipment > ALL COPPER _ MORE GIRL the fulfillment of a long thwarted, hate. Spelle’s real objective was that immense expanse of valuable plateau range controlled by San Juan Dele- van. There lay the water and graz- ing which Spelle could find good use for during the dry, torrid summer months. As for the other smaller ranchers, they also would sink if Starbuck’s bank went under. But Spelle gave them little thought. Small fry, he told himself contemptuously. There was another motive to Silas Spelle’s hatred of San Juan Delevan. It dated back many, many years.. It began the day Martha Wingate had married Delevan after scorning Spelle’s advances.. Her death, three years after the marriage, when she gave her life to bring a baby daugh- ter into the world, caused Spelle to gloat. What he could not have him- self, he wanted no other man to hold. And he had never forgiven Delevan for winning the woman he himself had set his heart on. Flickering Flame. The lamp in Spelle’s office glowed yellow. In its light Spelle was like a bloated poisonous thing, intent up- on his plotting. The night wind mourned about the silent ranchhouse. Once or twice the windows rattled. A dim form stole from the darkness outside and crossed the patio. The side door to Spelle’s office swung slowly back. The flame of the lamp wavered and flickered. Spelle turn- ed. His face blanched and his jaw dropped slightly. Fear lay stark in his eyes. He was like a man gazing upon a ghost. He ran a thick tongue over his lips. “You!†he croaked harshly. “The papers said yuh were dead. They found yore body ground to pieces along the track of the S. W. & P,†“Yeah,†snarled the newcomer. “They think-they did. I out-foxed them that’s all. What they found was a damned hobo with my prison clothes on him. Wellâ€"don’t sit starin’ at me like I was a ghost. I’m realâ€"damned real. Why don’t yuh greet yore long lost son like a fa- ther should?†“Yuh’re no son of mine,†rasped Spelle hoarsely. “Iâ€"â€"†“Oh yes I am,†cut in the other. “Not accordin’ to law mebbeâ€"but like the highbrows sayâ€"I’m a natu- ral son. Not that Pm proud of my parents. My mother a Ute squawâ€" my father a damned, crooked skunk what would betray his own flesh and blood. I came backâ€"1 told yuh I would, yuh snivelin’ hypocrite. I didn’t ask to come into the world, " God knows. Yuh’re responsible for me- an’ by Heaven yuh’re gonna take care of me. I want food and I want whiskey an’ a bunk to sleep in. I crossed the Kanab Desert on foot to get hereâ€"an’ here I stay. If yuh try to set the flatties on me I go out shootin’â€"an’ yuh yet the first bul- let. Think it over.†Last, Tie Severed Silas Spelle paled at the words and manner of his illegitimate, half- breed son. When he had read of that son’s escape from " the State Penitentiary road-gang stark terror had struck him. Then when another dispatch came 'through that his son’s mangled body had been found by a track walker on the railroad he had sighed with relief. It meant the last tie to an embarrassing past had been, severed. But the dispatches were wrong*, and here was the son in flesh to mock him. Unconsciously Silas Spelle stood up. ‘There’s whiskey on the shelf over there. I’ll go to the kitchen, an’ rustle yuh some grub.†(To be Continued) Prince Edward Island, Canadas island province, was said last week by a Government authority at Otta- wa to have the world’s only divorce court that has never granted a di- vorce. In the court’s century of his- tory it has had before it only one ap- plication for divorce and it was drop- ped, Some amazement was caused when the explanatory notes attached to a Senate, bill to widen the grounds for divorce said a court in Prince Ed- ward Island had had the right fco dis- solve marriage since 1835. The explanatory note did not ex- plain that only one petition has ever- been presented to the court. Federal Parliaments Handled It In practice all Prince Edward Is- land divorce matters come before the Federal Parliament. Parliamentary officials say this practice is a conces- sion to sentiment on the island. “Prince Edward Island was settled by high-church Anglicans and Roman Catholics to a. large extent,†said an authority. “Divorce just isn’t coun- tenanced and it is doubtful if a court could be constituted on the island that would grant one.†Stage and Screen Star Visits Flower Show A Pinafore Princess Morning Frock That's Smart For Resort Later Tombs just discovered by excava- tors on Brisa Hill near Tunis, long regarded as the centre of Carthage, indicate that the hub of the ancient city was on the seashore and that Brisa Hill was the site of a cemetery.

MORE ABOUT SAUCES Last week. we gave two of the basic sauces, White and Brown and the nu- merous ways in which to vary these to add just the right touch of profes- sional piquancy to any dish you are serving.
