Tells Bentley to see Barnes. As they ride away Larry recognizes Bentley's companion as one of the bank robbers. CHAPTER V ' It was after supper when Larry brought up the subject of the gate in the canyon fence. He and Pete Barnes were sitting outside the bunkhouse, smoking. A brillant Texas moon bathed the ranch head- quarters in cold light and deep The lean-fdced foreman draped his lanky form along the steps. "Pete, a fellow named Bentley came 'through the canyon today," Larry began. "Said he wanted a gate put in there, said you ought to know about It and that the Col- onel would want it." "What did you tell him?" Barnes asked. "lI told him he'd have to get somo orders from Colonel Miles or from you before I'd build any gate on his say-so0." "(iood! It's about time someone was telling Bentley where to get off. But you better get ready to put a gate in there tomorrow. Bentley's up at the house now. By the time he goes home, he'll have the Colonel sold on the idea. "The Old Man'll pn raising sand about not puttin in when Bentley asked you tots but don't pay that much mind. The Colonel still runs the Hayhook, and he don't like the idea of Bentley giving too many orders, even if ho does agree with that four-flusher." "I tako it you don't like Bentley," Larry said. "I don't and nobody else does except Miss Monnle, She thinks he's a Spanish don on a white guess." Barnes ground his clgaret under a boot heel. "I'd like to take a poke at that--" "Who Is this Bentley? Where'd he come from?" Larry interrupted, trying to conceal too .great an ins terest in the Hayhook's nelghbor. Came From the outh "Claims to be part Spanish, but he ean't talk it and he don't act it," Barnes answered, "Looks more to me like one of these movie gang- © stars trying to pose as somebody. I'd trust a rattlesnake twice as far as him. "Came up Fen) the southwest about four years ago. Bought the old Circle-Cioss and eet up as e gentleman rancher. Raises polo ponies, fine horses.

Fifes his own airplane." "He does? Where does he land?" "Bentley's got a 'field all lald out with lights and everything, just like a regular airport, about half a mile from his house. Keeps airplane in a blg barn he had built for it." "Must do a Jot of night flying it he's spent all that money for Nghts,"" Larry commented. "Guess he does," Barnes agreed, "He's always going off on hunting trips, down Into Mexico.: Rung up to Bt. Louis and Chicago to see a show, now and then. Oh, Bentley puts dattle "raising on a gentle man's basis," Barnes laughed, bit terly. "I don't like him marrying Miss Monnfe, either. She's too good for a guy like that. But he seems to be the number one man ever since that accldent--" "What accident?' Larry almost shouted the question, Barnes paused long enough to roll and light a olgaret before re- plying. "The last one she had. She bit a cow, on the highway. Wreck. "ed her car, almost killed her.

Barnes dropped in- to a chair beside . the Colonel. 'Larry remained in the background, leaning against a post. "Mike--Mr,. Bentley--has been telling me about that canyon fence," the old cowman began, "He wants a gate put in there. Guess we'll have to do it, Got to keep on i good terms with our neighbors," he laughed embarrassed as a child before his foreman, "Okay, Colonel. I'll have Larry put the gate in tomorrow," Barnes agreed. Larry saw Bentley smile at the foreman. "l told your man that Colonel | Mites would want a gate," Bentley put In, "but he didn't seem to think I knew what I was talking about. You'd have saved yourself some work, if you had listened to me, cowboy," he added, glancing at Larry. "Hayhook hands still get thelr orders from me Bentley," Barnes said shortly. It was evident that the foréman had little love for his nelghbor, "If Mike Wants It" "I'm not so 'sure you want a gate there anyway, Colonel," Barn. es continued, "That canyon leads right down from' the highway into - the big pasture. If these truck rust- _ lers get to operating again, it'll be easy for them to get In there and take the pick of the calves. Better keep that fence like it is--" "Rustlers?" = Bentley laughed. "You've been seeing too many movies, Barne." "And you'll have every wheat farmer -on the plains driving through there to the rallroad come harvest," Barnes went on, ignoring the "Interruption, "Just as well build a road and mark It." : Bentley jumped to Lis. feet, glar- ed down at the foreman.

Barnes' voice was low afd calm, but his words carried the sting of a slap on the face, "Here, you two, don't tight over an old gate," Mopnle broke in, "If Mike wants a gate, put it there. You can padlock it shut, can't you | Pete, and open it when Mike gets ready to drive?" "That's it. You do that, Pete, Monnie's got the right idea" That'll suit you won't it, Mike?" The Colonel looked first to Barnes, then to his nelghtior. : "Yeah, I su 80," Bentley conceded, resuming bis place on the swing. 'Fence'il probably fall down anyway. That new hand of yours don't know much about fence building, Colonel." Larry stepped away trom the post. More than anything he want- ed to smash that smirking, oily tace. Monnfe's ladgh stopped him, "You should see*him ride, Mike," she sald, "Hé llkes air--Ilots of it --between him and the saddle." Larry fought to control his an- ger, made his voice lazily quiet. "Guess Il turn. in, Pete. Good night Miss Monnle, Good night, Colonel." 3 Barnes caught up with him half way to thé bunkhouse. "I wanted to sock th y, too, Collins, Glad you kept your\temper and didn't- say anything, I sure can't see what Miss Monnie likes about that slick- haired coyote, . . . Must be his good looks." "I wouldn't make a scene before Colonel and Miss Monnie, Pete. But I hope this Bentley comes out to see me put that gate in." "It he_does, make sure he's alone before you tackle him," Pete warn. ed. "If he has one of his men with "hini, you'd come back pretty well beat up. And don't get Bentley wrong--he's no coward." They were at the bunkhouse door. "Thanks, Pete. I'll remem- ber. And say, how about getting oft tomorrow, I've some things to attend to in town. I wasn't sure I was going to stay avhen I came ' out here, you know." Barnes grinned. make Bentley wait at least one more day for his gate, at any rate."

Simple Baked Custitd For every egg, use 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar -- and a dash - of nutmeg, I allow one egg for two in a custard, Beat the egg well, add the su- gar, mixing thoroughly, then add the milk, Bake in individual < molds, setting in dish about half full of water. The oven should be medium. Bake until silver knife comes out clean, Just Plain Junket I can't understand why more people do not use junket as des- sert., Firstly, it is non-starchy, secondly, to using milk one of the necessary foods and then it is simple to prepare. It can be varied and dressed up in so many ways, I much prefer the plain junket which- one may flavor to one's oWn taste. The very simple directions for making are always on the package, I vary the su-. gar for sweetening with brown sugar, which gives & delightful carame] flavor, then again cocoa. Make just as if you are preparing cocoa -- then cool to lukewarm and add junket tablets as directed. Applesauce | | We are all requested to use "more apples both for health and commercial reasons. Choose thea best cooking apples; always have' applesauce fresh. A delightful variation: add the whites of eggs. when the applesauce is about cool. I allow one egg white to 2 ups of fruit. After the white of eggs is folded in -- place in sherbet glasses top with whipped cream- sprinkled with rolled or chopped nuts and you have a des- sert for any occasion.
