CHAPTER Ill N It took Larry half an hour to buy a pair of cowboy work bools, two pairs of 'levis," a few blue shirts and a $25 sombrero. Whan he checked out of his hotel, he had lost all resemblance to the Larry Collins who worked for Steve Clark, the Lavry Collins whose by- _line was familiar to a hundred thousand readers. He was a cow. hand--- His clothes looked too new, but a few minutes scuffling along the highway, and crawling under the car-would take care of that. He remembered to buy Texas - license plates for his ¢ar. Not many cowhands come from New York. Larry pointed his car northward, picked up his highway marker and drove steadily. The picture of the girl, furiously angry, would not be dispelled. What a temper! Monnie. +++ Monica Maria Christina, Must be part Spanish, That accounted' for some of the temper. And the black hair and flashing- eyes. "I -think you're swell, Monnie," he announced to the world in gen- eral. "Even if, you don't think so much of my driving. And if your Dad will give me a job, you'll be seeing Larry Collins every day, Monnie darling!" The Cussing Colonel Colonel Taylor Miles was mad. He stomped up and down the porch of the ranchhouse, punctuated every step with a few choice words that are found neither In-di¢tionary nor Bible. As a "cusser" the Colonel was without equal. With the Col- onel, swearing was an art. ___ Right now the Golonel was dis- playing his ability, with undimin- ishing fervor, for the benefit of two . sheepish-looking who stood.a few paces away from the porch, "And you call yourselves cow- hands!" the Colonel was shouting: "Rodeo cowboys! You may know how to rope, but by the seven- teen horns of old Alamo, that's no exchse for: breaking the necks of. - halt my calves and rope-burning most of my cows. "You've got your money -- Get _your stuff and get out! One of the boys will take you to town.

Sleep Declared Chief "Cosmetic" Will Do More To Keep a Wor man Youthful and Beautiful Than Almost Anything Else Getting too little sleep or an insufficiént amount of the right kind of sleep causes more pre- mature signs of age than a great many women seem to realize.

In: other words, they feel that niné hours of sleep per night are necessary to their health and beauty. . Photographers' models, who smile at you from billboards and magazine covers, make it a rule to sleep more than eight hours each night. Whenever you find yourself wondering how a debu- tante can dance all night and yet look fresh, clear-eyed and pretty at a party the next afternoon, just remember that the chances are she slept eight or nine hours during the morning and early af- , ternoon, There are no two ways about it -- sleep is every woman's greatest aid beauty. No amount of skin treatments can possibly make up for lack of it. And it's a wise girl who realizes this at an early age.
