He is opposed by Ed. Starbuck, president of the Cattle- men’s Bank and by San Juan Delevan, prominent rancher who has been crip- pled by a fall from his horse. Tex Whipple and his partner, Johnny Cle- lioe, are cowpunchérs employed by Ban Juan Delevan to fight the rustlers and protect his interests. CHAPTER XIX It took Tex a long quarter of an hour to write four telegrams. They Were finished finally, however, and paid for. Then Tex went out, took his three jaded mounts to a livery stable, with advice that they were to be fed and cared for until Ids return. After that he ate a huge breakfast and then spent the balance of the time until WAKE UP LIKE A CAVE MAN Feel Full of Life-â€"No More Tired, Dull, Heavy Mornings Keep your liver healthy and you’ll feel great every morning.

For thirty-two hours Tex rode west and south to the clicking of rail and wheel. It was late afternoon when he swung from the train at Sevier. He had hardly reached the platform be- fore there was a huge leonine bellow of delight and a huge, tawny bearded man caught him by the shoulders, and whirled him around and began pump- ing his hand mightily. . “Tex, yuh old sand hawk â€" how are yuh? What-cha want? I got yore telegram an’ come arunnin’." “Lafe â€" I need five thousand dol- lars. Got a chance to buy in 1er John- ny an’ myself on a regular spread on the sweetest bit of range yuh ever saw. The present owner, name’s Dele- van, is crippled, ' an’ he’s fightin’ range grabbin’ skunk who bought, up all the mortgages on a local bank what went under .due to a robbery. This range grabber gets ahold of a ten thousand dollar mortgage against Delevan who he wants special to put on the rocks. Delevan told me his own story so I’m figgerin’ on steppin’ in an’ takin’ up the mortgage for a part- nership split. I got five thousand of my own -saved up. Been waitin’ for a chance like this to get Johnny started on somethin’ worth while. If you can see fit to let me have the money on a personal note Lafe, I’d shore be oh liged.” Five Thousand .Lafe Stillman’s answer was to draw a checkbook from his pocket and twist the end off an old-fashioned fountain pen. “Five thousand be enough, Tex?” asked Date. “If yuh want more jest say so.” “Five’s plenty, Late, an’ -shore I’m thankin’ yuh. Well go round an’ see a lawyer an’ have him fix it up legal,” “Like he^ we will,” growled Lafe. “Yore word’s plenty for me. An’ fem- me tell yuh somethin’. If I hear yuh’re scrimpin’ an’ scratchin’ go’s to be able to pay that back, I’ll be damned if I’ll take it. Savvy?” During Tex’s absence Johnny had found plenty to keep him busy. Early on the same morning that Tex left, Delevan called Johnny and Pink Cros- by and Pod Fortune to the ranchhouse and announced that Johnny was now foreman cf the Box D. Johnny having already talked the thing over with Tex, knew what was coming, hut the other two were somewhat surprised, in view of Johnny’s tender years. But, however, neither of them had ever as- pired to the job, and so were perfect- ly content to see Johnny get it. Pink Crosly was a bright-eyed, and cheery young fellow with clean fea- tures and a peaches and cream com- plexion. Pod Fortune was hulking and slow going, with a booming voice and a laugh which made the walls of the bunkhviise creak. Both were honest and faithful. Delevan held Johnny after the other two had departed. “Sou,” he said. “Seem’ as this part- nership is cornin’ up we’ll want a few tallies to know where we stand, meb- be. So I’d suggest yuh take the boys an' comb the plateau, particularly the northeast side an’ make a count of the cattle yuh find holin’ up out In the meadows. The wildest critters gen- erally hunt that range. It’s good range too, but more or less deserted.” Johnny nodded and went away to the corrals. A half hour later he and Crosby and Fortune jogged off around the crest. The better part of an uneventful week passed, and then one day, when out alone, Johnny swung into the up- per end of a little and park and came upon a rider spurring easily about a SALAD SUGGESTIONS What inspiration there is in an at- tractive saladâ€"crispness, coolness, pi- quancy, colorâ€"all the qualities needed to give refreshing character to a meal! And every housewife knows how necessary salads are in the fam- ily diet, especially in the spring as the salad greens begin to appear on the market. The clever hostess fits a salad into any menuâ€"be it luncheon, dinner, supper, or picnic. But she picks her salads with care, choosing each one to emphasize the good points of her meal, to round out the variety, or to provide a substantial addition. Once the salad is chosen, there comes the fascinating task of gathering to- gether the ingredients, of chilling, blending and arranging. Remember that the entire sec t of salad excel- lence lies in a thoroughly chilled crispness, skilfully blended flavour, and attractive arrangement.

The rid- er was a stranger to Johnny and in- stinctively he bristled. I-Ie jogged on down toward the stranger and reined In warily at a little distance. “Hello there,” he drawled careless- ly. “Lookin’ fer somethin’?”. The stranger faced Johnny coolly. He was a big man, and Johnny didn’t like anything about him. “I asked yuh somethin,’ ” snapped Johnny, nettled by the silence of the other. “Wlio are yuh an’ what do yuh wati?” ‘‘I'm Silas Spelle,” was the even, cold reply. “I’m merely looking over what will shortly he mine." “Oh â€" yeah?” said Johnny, openly skeptical. “Well, shore now that does sound pretty thin. Suppose yuh amble I on over to the Box D ranchhouse and tell that story to ole San Juan Dele- van. He oughta be plumb interested." I “Doubtless. Only I don’t care to talk to him today. My time to talk will be a little later. Then I’ll see him:” “Naw,” said Johnny. “Cain’t let yuh get away today without seein’ him. So yuh better amble along ahead of me.” Spelle stiffened and looked Johnny over intently. His surface examination was of a stalwart, curly-headed, good looking kid. Good-looking, yes â€" but not exactly dangerous looking. “Don’t be the fool,” growled Spelle. “I’m not interested today.” He turned to ride away. The next instant a hissing loop settled over his shoulders and he was dragged back- wards from his saddle. Spelle being a heavy man, hit the ground hard, and for a moment he lay half stunned. By the time he had recovered Johnny had expertly frisked him of weapons and was back o:i his horse, rolling a cigar- ette. (To Be Continued) CALM YOUR NERVES!
