*••••••< ^^The Leashed Guns of Circle L by Perry Wcslbrook SYNOPSISâ€" Slim Loyale Is par- oled from prison after serving 18 month* for a crime he did not com- mit. He returns to his Circle L ranch to find his father dead and •Iniater forces at work, trying to make him violate his parole so that he can again be railroaded to pri- son. CHAPTER IV "Slim!" he cried out delightedly. "Slim Loyale, yuh danged young whelp, how arc yuh, boy? Put her there! Gosh, I'm glad to see yuh." Slim knew Spud Dillon well, and he knew that Spud meant every word of his gieetlnp. So he wrung Dillon's hard heartily and smiled. "An' I'm shore glad to see yuh. Spud, yuh fat ole duffer. I do be- lieve yuh've been losin' weight." Spud guffawed. "Oh, sure I am. I've only taken on twenty more pounds since I saw yuh last. Slim. Have a drink. I'm buyin'." "Remember Your Parole" As Dillon turned for bottle and glaases, a silver dollar was rung on the bar. Then a cold, sneering voice sou nded. "When yuh get 'Ttrffiigh maicTn' ov?r yore jailbird friend, Dillon, we'd like .some ser- vice." ' Slim caught his breath ijn a li ttle hiss and wliiiled. Ilis (ace was white, and his lips a tight, straight line. He made a queer rasping Bound in his throat and he stepped away from the bar, crouching. "Brockwell," he grated thickly, "yuhâ€"" "Shut up. Slim:" It was Dakota Blue who spoke. His hand locked un sum's shoulder and he pulled the young fellow back, stepping be- tween him and the Brockwells. â- â€¢Remember yore parole, kid," he muttered. "I'll handle this." I Dakota walked toward the Brockwells. Sarg Brockwell was a big man, dark of hair and swarthy of skin. His face was broad with high cheek boues and little, glint- ing eyes. His lips were thick, and in repose wore a continual, confi- dent grin, disclosing two rows of teeth, startling in their size and whiteness. As Spud IMllon had said one time "1 never look at them teeth of Sarg brockwells but what I think of a graveyard." I High Words IjCo Brockwell was smaller than his father, with the same swarthy coloring and black eyes. But Leo's mouth was ihtn, sarcastic and Bueering, twisting up at one coiner. He was built on the lithe, feline lines of a panther, and he moved with the same slinking walk. His hund.s on his hljis, Dakota Blue stopped a yard from the Brockwells. "Which one of yuh made that crack'!" he ileinanded coldly. Do This If You're NERVOUS Don't takr rhttncon nn harmful opiate* and produru whii-h you know notliing ahout. Um romnwin Mins*-.

"Yes, by jimlny," yelped Spud Dillon, his round face scarlet with anger, ''lemme tell yuh somethin', Sarg Brockwell! I don't like yuh or yore nogood son or nothin' about yuh, savvy? I choose my own friends an* to hell with yuh! Yuh've had yore last drink over this â-  bar. Yore money ain't worth a hoot here, from now on. Chaw on that!" Neither of the Brockwells paid any attention to Dillon. They were watching Dakota Blue. "Well, I'm waitin'," drawled Dakota. "Which one of yuh made that crack?" Leo's lips twisted. "I did," he snarled. "What's it to yuh?" "This!.'-' . Dakota^s fist moved with start- ling speed. It landed with a spat on young Brockwell's mouth and he, went over backward, clawing at his gun. At Dakota's movement, Sarg Brockwell had jumped back, his right hand flashing to his hip. Thrown a little o balance by his blow, Dakota lagged on his draw, and it looked as it Sarg Brockwell had him dead to rights. Here Jeo Rooney stepped into the game. At the first hint of hostil- ities, Joe had slipped away from the pool table, a cue gripped in his hands, his faded old eyes glinting purposefully. And now, as Sarg Brockwell threw down on Dakota, Joe jammed the cue between Sarg Brackwell's ankles and gave it a violent twist. Brockwell, his feet cut from un- der him, cursed raucously us he fell forward, and his gun rammed (lame and smoke into the floor. Dakota's return shot, loosed as Brockwell was falling, cut through the shoul- der of Brockwell's shirt, just nick- ing the heavy muscles. The Best Of It Before Brockwell could straight- en himself, Dakota stepped forward and kicked the guii from liis hand. Leo Brockwell, dazed and bleed- ing, was mumbling curses and fum- bling at his gun. Ax he raised it, Joe Uooney slummed him across the wrist with liis cue. The gun thumped to tlie floor, where Dako- ta Blue snapped it up. Dakota stepped back, ''.^'light, Joe," he drawled. "Let 'em up. 1 got their stingers. An' much oblig- ed, Joe. That was quick, heady work." Sarg Brockwell lurched to his feet and dragged Leo up beside him. A little smear of blood show- ed on Sarg's shoulder. And before anyone could speak further, Jigger Starbuck came lunging through the swinging doors, a drawn gun in his hand. 'What's goin' on in here?" he snapped. "Loyale, are yuli in trou- ble already?" "Bardly," answered Dakota, smil- ing thinly. "Not quite so fast. Star- buck. Damned if yuh don't act like yore just waitin' a chance to try an' hang somethin' on Slim." For just a moment a wary film seemed to shadow Siarbuck's eyes. Then he. gripped himself. "Well, what's wrong then?" he demanded. •Who did lliat shootin'?" "I (lidâ€" part of it," answered Da- kota. 'I just nicked Sarg, darn the luck. He blew a hole In Spud's (toor." "Veah, I can .see that," sneered I Starbuck testily. "But liow'd the Extra Money For Christinas! $10 In Prizes For the best Christmas or New Year's Dinner Menu CONTEST RULES: 1 .

Mail Your Entry Early trouble start? Who's responsible for this?" "He is," bawled Spud Dillon, still bubbling with wrath and pointing at Leo. "He made a dirty crack at Slim. He did it Just on purpose I'm beltin", to try to get Slim to make a gun-play, knowin' that if the kid did, his parole would be busted sky-high. But I.>akota stepped in an' walloped him one. "Listen good," growled Star- buck, stepping over to Slim, "Lent- me see yore guns, Loyale." "Let him have 'em. Slim," cau- tioned Dakota. "Shore, I'm begin- nin' to see through lots of things." "Meanin" just what. Blue?" Star- buck whirled and faced Dakota, his head thrust forward. •What's it mean to yuh?" retort- ed Dakota easily. "Don't get too touchy, Starbuck, or folks will be- gin thinkin' things." Starbuck licked his lips, then turned to Slim. One after the other he twitched out Slim's guns, punched out the shells and squinted through the barrels. As he return- ed them, he frowned at Sarg Brock- well. "Go easy on startin' things, Brockwell," he ordered. "An* tell that cub of yores to button his lip. I wou't stand for trouble around here â€" none whatever." Dakota, watching Sarg and Star- buck carefully, thought he caught just a glint of understanding pass in the quick glance they e.\changed. Brockwell nodded. ''Call it our fault this time," he growled. ''But we ain't forgettin' at no time. An' that goes for yuh an' yuh," he fin- ished, indicating both Spud Dillon and Joe Rooney. "See if we care!" yelped Spud. '•1 got somethin' off my chest what's been gaggin' me tor some time. Brockwell. I shore read yore walkin' papers. As for Joe, well, I alius knew he was a good man. He shore demonstrated it today."
