W/ILLIAM PATTERSON WHITE » o by Litfle Brown and. Chupiry BEGIN HERE TODAY BILLY WINGO, good-natured and youth- ful range-rider of Golden Bar, Wyoming, is suggested for sheriff by TIP O'GORMAN, master politician af Crocker County, on the ground that Wingo Is honest hut too casy golng to Interfore with the gang's activities fin cattle stealing. RAFE TUCKLETON, wenlthy agrees, although he had office to JACK MURRAY, a gunman, who Is Billy's rival for the hand of BALLY ANN PRESCOTT. O'Gorman re- fuses to countenance Tuckloton's plan of having . DAN BLIKE; n gunman, hired to kill Tom Walton, an honest ranch owner. It s fearcd that Walton has evidence of the gang's activities, GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER 111 “Careless child,” ohserved Bill Win- Ko, coming up on the porch where Sally Jane lay in the hammock. “You dropped your hat yesterday. 1 found it this morning. Here it is. Don't move, sweet one, Of course, if yon asked me to sit down, I would, and if you felt like rustling some coffee and cake, or even a piece of pie with a bite of cheese on the side—just a bite, not over half a pound—" “Stop calling me ‘sweet one, Miss Prescott said crossly. I'm not your sweet one, or anybody else's sweet one." “Nothing like that, sweet one. The political steersmen of our fair county rode out to my place last night and “What did the old thief want?" Sally Jane brutally wished to know. “Offered me the nomination for sheriff! Sally Jane's laughter was sardonic. “Are they trying to fool me, or what?" he persisted. “I don't know whether trying to fool you or not,” reply, “but they're trying somebody, that's a cinch.” “I told 'em I didn't want the job." “What 2" He rubbed an outraged ear. need to deafen me,” said he. “Deafen you?” she cried. 1 could take a club to you, you fat-head!" *80-0, s0-0," 'he shoothed. “Don’t get so excited. Remember we are young but once, and every outburst brings us nearer the grave. Lemme finish, that's a good child. They said for me to think it over, and they'd be back in a couple of days and take 4t up with me again.” “Bill,” said Sally Jane, leaning for- ward, her violet eyes shining, “I'm serious.” “I'll try to believe it,” he said, re- garding her with admiration. “But Jjust this minute you look like the most unserious thing I ever saw—and the most beautiful. Listen, Sally Jane, I wish you'd do as I ask you. Close cattle thief, promised the they're was the to fool “No your eyes and plunge right in. sWe'd | be as happy as two pups in a basket. Sign on the dotted line and leave the rest to me.” 3 Which nonsense she quite properly disregarded. “Bill, 1 want you to take that nomination. You accept the nomination, and if you don't make things hum after you're elected, you're not the man I take you for. Bill slipped right off the porch rail and sat down limply on the floor. His eyeballs rolled up. His hand fluttered over his heart. He breathed with difficulty. “At last,” he muttered. “Ac- cepted! The shock will be the death of me! Water! Water! With a littie whiskey stirred in. Just a little. Not more than four or five fingers, or perhaps six. No sugar.”" He got to his feet slowly and seated /himee!f on. the rail. won't go back on your word, Jese,” he told her soberly. "1 can do lots of things you never »#ard of," said she. *“But making &0 meanings grow where only one grew before is not one of them."” Joking aside,” he said, “will you marry me if I take this sheriff job?" “Joking aside,” said she, ‘‘would you want me for a reason like that?" “Well, no,” he admitted frankly. “I'd want you to love me a lot.” “Honestly, Bill, I like you a great deal, but there's something lacking. re- “You Sally TINY PIMPLES ON FACE BODY And Arms.

He decided to give it up as a hopeless Job. “That," said Sally Jane, with bright smile, "ta a load o my heart, As a sister, I know I'd fill every requirement, Be a good broth- er now, and do as I ask.

T CHAPTER IV. “Now there,” said Riley Tyler, star- ing at the driver of a buckboard, "is a girl that is pretty as a 1i'l red wagon, new painted.” Hazel Walton stepped into the buckboard, kicked the bhrake lever and swung her team like a workman. Billy hopped across the sidewalk and ran out into the middle of Main street. He scooped up a package that had fallen from behind the seat and hurried up to the buckboard. Then he- realized that Riley Tyler had not told half the truth about Hazel Walton's eyes. True, they were big and black and soft, but they were deep too, deep as cool rock pools, and they looked at you stead- ily with a straight look that somehow made you gvish that you had been a better boy. “You don't come in town very often,” was his sufficiently inane yob- servation. “Not very often,” smiled. Billy stood quite still in the middle of Main street, with his hat off, and looked after her a moment as she drove away. Then he pulled on the said she, and HAZEL JACK FAST. e WONDERED WHERE MURRAY WAS RIDING SO hat with a jerk and returned to his packing case. “What did she say to you?" Riley wanted to know. “None of your business, ungracious reply. Riley crossed one knee over the other. “I got eyes, I have. Oh, mush and milk, love's young dream, and | when shall we meet again.” “Aw, shut up!” urged Billy, and shoved his friend off the packing case and went elsewhere hastily. o .o Hazel Walton, jogging along the homeward way, was overtaken by a horseman. She returned his greet- ing, but scowled and made a little face after his retreating back. She did not like Jack Murray. She never had. Hazel wondered where Jack Mur- ray was riding so fast. Ior it was a hot day. Her wonder grew when, 20 minutes after he had passed from sight, .she perceived by the hoof was the *|marks that he had left the trail and turned into a dry wash, a cul-de-sac ending in a rock-strewn, unclimba- ble slope that was the base of Block Mountain. Beyond the wash the trail wound up the side of a hill. At the crest of the hill the off mule picked up a stone. After 10 minutes hard ham- mering and levering with her jack-! knife she had the stone out. As she released the foot from be- tween her knees and straightened her back, her gaze swept along the back trail. The wash into which Jack Murray had ridden was distant not half a mile. She saw Jack Murray's horse there was something queer e horse's head. Whercas Murray's horse when it passed her on the trail had been a sorrel of a solid color, the head was now whitey- gray. \ Ever since’she and her uncle had come to realize that someone was rustlihg their cattle, neither of them ever left home without field glasses. Hazel pulled her pair from beneath the seat clushion and focused them on the odd-looing horse. “It's a flour sack over the horse's head!" she exclaimed. “I wonder wh¢ Jack doesn't want him to whin- ny. And where is Jack?" Two minutes later she found He was lying on his stomach brush. Jack's rifle was in front of him. Why? A few minutes later that question THE RIDER—Galley 2 was answered by the sudden appear- ance of a rider at a bend of the trail a mile back. With a gaspsshe recog- nized the rider on the trail by his high-crowned white hat: only one man in Golden Bar wore such a hat and that man was Billy Wingo. 8he knew that Billy would be masked by a belt of trees before he traveled another 30 yards, not to emerge into view again till he topped a rise of ground out a thousand vards from the base of the hill on which she stood. If Hazel could and about Jack Jack. in the poked out only reach the top of the rise first— Hazel popped 2ip into the secat of NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1 NOW HE ENJOYS PERFECT HEALTH Stomach and Liver In Order, Thanks to “Fruit-a-tives” 154 I'um S, Lakerort, N.IT, “I realize that I have reached the age (65) when one often requires fixing up.” My digestion was not right and {rouble with my Liver and Bowels caused considerable distress, Last fall, T began taking “Fruit-a. tives”” or ““I'ruit Laxo Tablets”, and after using them for a short time, I could see that they were just what my system required, My Liver became active and improvement in every way was apparent’’, Fs R.

As she clung to the pitching buck- board and plied the whip, she specu- lated on the probability of Jack Mur- ray firing on her. He must realize her purpose. He had been called many things, but fool was not one of them., He might even shoot her. She recalled dim stories of Jack Mur- ray's ruthlessness and grim single- ness of purpose. A Winchester cracked in the rear. The near mule staggered, tried to turn a somersault, and collaped in a heap of sprawling legs and outhrust neck. The off mule fell on top of his mate, and Hazel catapulted over the dashboard and landed head first on top of the off mile. The oft mule regained his feet with a snort and a lurch, in the process throwing Hazel into a squaw bush. Dizzy and more than a little shaken, that young woman scrambled back into the trail and feverishly set about unhitching the mule. She heard a yell from the Fingers busy with the breas snap, she looked back to'see a man hurdle the outcrop and plunge to- ward her through the brush “Wait!" he bawled. She bunched the reins in hand, He was a tall mule, swarmed up his shoulder by means of collar and hames, threw herself across his withers and besought him at the top of her lungs to "Go! Go!
