Buck was not taking any chances on time. “Tomorrow night then," compromised. “I'll be at your place by noon. Why not go straight north through the buttes? ‘We can make it by way of the hills in two hours. What do you say?” “It's a terrible chance. Morrow will have his riders in the buttes.” “I'll draw them away.” There was a note of sureness in the boy's voice as he went on. “I'll send a dozen men up that trail across the peak tonight. They'll make so much noise Morrow will have his men camping there tomorrow evening. We'll go through in back of them.” CHAPTER XXVI.

It dissolves instantly and makes a good thick soapy solution. Pour this Rinso solution into your tub half full of lukewarm water and whip up the suds. After youhave put your clothes into the tub, the suds should stand up. If they do not you have not used enough Rinso. Soak your clothes in these lasting suds for an hour or two—overnight, if you wish. This soaking takes the place of rubbing. It loosens the dirt so that it rinses right out. Only neck bands, cuff edges and seats and knees of children’s play clothes will need a light rubbing with a little dry Rinso. Get Rinso today—all grocéry and department stores have it in the regular size and the big new package. Lever Bros. Co., 164 Broadway, Cambridge, Mass. BY ALLMAN an SHOW M
