There'll ‘be strangers, too. Don’t forget the State Troopers are looking for you." They had paused on the rough veranda in the hot October sunshin.. “"Mike,” suggested Smith carelessly, “wouldn't it pay you better to go straight?" Clinch’s small gray eyes, which had been roaming over the prospect of lake and forest, focused on Smith's smiling features. “What's that to you?" he asked. “I'll be out of a job,” remarked Smith, laughing, “if they ever land you."” Clinch's level his mind was busy too. “Who the hell are you, anyway?" he asked. “I don't know. You stick up a man on the Ghost Lake Road and hide out here when the State Troopers come after you. And now you ask me if it pays better to go straight Why didn't you go straight if you think it pays?" “1 haven't got a daughter to worry about,” explained Smith. “If they get me it won't hurt anybody else.” A dull red tinge came out under | Clinch’s tan. gaze measured him; measuring him, A Stubborn Cough Loosens Right Up This home-made remedy is a won- der for quick results, Easily and cheaply made. Here is a home-made syrup which mjl- lions of people have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up stubborn coughs. It is cheap and simple, but very prompt in action. Under its healing, sootlging influence, chest sore- ness goes, phlegm loosens, breathing be- comes easier, tickling in throat stops and vou get a good night's restful sleep.

To make this splendid cough svrup, pour 212 ounces of Pinex into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup and shake thor- oughly.

Either way, vou get | a full pint—a family supply—oi much better cough syrup than vou could buy | ready-made for three times the money. Keeps perfectly and children love its pleasant taste, Pinex is a special and highly concen- | trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, known the world over for its prompt healing effect upon the mem- branes. To avoid disappointment ask vour jous fists as they re-entered the room, “Who asked you to worry about Eve?" “She's a fine girl: that's all.” Clinch's steely glare measured the young man: “You trying to make up to he inquired gently. “No. 8he has no use for me.” Clinch reflected, his cold tiger-gaze still tastened on Smith, “You're right,' he said after a mo- nient, “Eve is a good girl. Some day I'll make a lady of her." “She is one, Clinch." At ghat Clinch reddene heavily— the it finer emotion ever betrayed before Smith, He did not say any- thing for a few moments, but his grim mouth worked, Finally: “I guess you was a gentleman onee before vou went crooked, Hal," he said. “You act up like you once was, i Bay: there's only one thing on God's earth I care about. You've guessed it, too.” He was off again upon his ruling passion, "“Eve," nodded Smith. “Sure. She isn't my flesh and blood. But it seemd like she!s more, even. I want she should be a lady. It's all I want, That damned mil- lfonaire Harrod bust me. But he couldn't stop me giving Eve her schooling. And now all I'm livin' for is to be fixed so's to give her money to go to the city like a lady. I don't care how I make money; all 1 want is to make it. And I'm agoing to."” Clinch, now obsessed by his mono- mania, went on with an oath: “I can't make no money on the level after what Harrod done to me. And I gotta fix up Eve. What the hell do you mean by asking me would it pay me to travel straight I dunno.” “I was only thinking of Eve. A lady isn't supposed to have a crook for a father.” Clinch's gray eyes hlazed for a mo- ment, then their menacing glare dulled, died out into wintry fixity. “I wan't born a crook,” he sald. “I ain’'t got no choice. ~And don't worry, young fella; they ain't a-going to get me."” ““You can't go on beating the game forever, Clinch.” . “I'm heating it—'"" he hesitated— “and it won't be so long, neither, be- fore I turn over enough to let Eve live in the city Jike any lady, with her automobile and her own butler and all her swell friends, in a big house like she is educated for—" He broke off abruptly as a proces- sion approached from the lake, es- corting the battered gentry who now were able to wabble about a little. One of them, a fox-faced trap thief named Earl Leverett, slunk hastily by as though expecting another kick from Clinch, “G'wan inside, Earl, and act up right,” said Clinch pleasantly. “You oughter have more sense than to start a fight in my place—you and Sid Hone and Harvey Chase, G'wan in and behave." He and Smith followed the proces- sion of damaged ones into the house. The big unpainted room where a bar had once been was blue with cheap cigar smoke: the air reeked with the stench of beer and spirits. A score or more shambling forest louts in their dingy Saturday finery were gathered there plaving cards, shooting craps, lolling around tables her?" PATENTS ISSUED TO CONN.
