SYNOPSIS: Slim Loyale is par- oled from priion after serving 18 months for a crime he did not com- mit. He returns to his Circle L ranch to find his father dead and sinister forces at work, trying to make him violate his parole so that he can again be railroaded to pri- son. The Brockwells and their gang â- re plotting to gain possession of Circle L ranch and the property of Mona Hall, a neighbor and life- long friend of Slim Loyale. CHAPTER VI Steve Owens laughed. 'I gunss Roy's Btatcment goes for all of us, Dakota. What happened after the trouble started In town?" Dakota outlined the events since be and Slim had struck Pinnacle. When he (inished, Stoney Slieard nodded. "Alius did have my doubts about Jigger Stai'buck," he drawl- ed. "Too self-centred, duty-struck an" cold-blooded to my way of thin- kin". Time'.s comln' on this range when hell is gonna pop. I've told yuh somethlu'," A Spanking Time "Let 'er pop," said Charley Quinn. "I an" Steve can do a little poppin' ourselves when necessary." Koy snorted. "Cheeky young cubs, yuh are. Should a spavined Jack-rabbit kick yuh in the pants, yuh'd come runnin' home here to Hoy for help." "That so?" yelped Charley. •'C'mon, Steve; let's get him, the red haided, stuck-up ape." Instantly there was a tangle of arms and legs, and the three punch- ers were on the ground, mauling and tugging and laughing. "I'll show yuh," grunted Roy. "Gang up on ole Hoy, will yuh? I'll knock a lick o" sense into yuh." Sure enough, in about a minute Roy was on top of both of them. He cuffed their hair over their eyes and Bpankod them resoundingly with open palm, whenever a tight- â- tretched area of blue jean overalls showed. "Enough," yelled Steve. ''Ow-w! I'm plumb blistered. Won't be able to ait down for a week. Lemme up, yuh wild buckaroQ. Doggone yuh, yuh got a hand like a fence board. Oscar, help: Pull him off." Oscar grinned, grabbed Hoy by the shii-t collar and the slack of the pants and lifted him clear, much as an ordinary person lifts a kitten. ''Now yuh bane nice boys or I lick all of yuh," he boomed. Itoy stiuinlcd up at the cook, lii.s blue eyes twinkling. " 'Tis a whale of a man yuh are, Oscar," he ap- proved. "Should we combine Ire- land an' Sweden we'd be after lick- In' the world." Oscar grinned wider liian ever. "We bane make a dent in .some- body. Now I go to work. Dinner bane ready in half an hour." Dakota had watched the mauling match with a contented grin. Even grave-faced Stoney Sheard had a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. There was nothing wrong v.ilh the morale of the Circle L Ranch. It was a happy family if there ever was one, and Slim Loyale was as- sured of plenty of backing in his forth-coming battle for exoneration and respect. Slim spent that first afternoon alone. He never left the house. In fact. He drifted from one room to another, and in every one there were memories that dug and hurt. The house was vacant, yet some- how it wa.s peopledâ€" filled with the shadowy presence of Hart Loyale.

CHAPTER VII Slim could not remember hi.s mother, for she had died when he was but a toddler. Hut there was a picture of hor, a swei't-faced, grave-eyed woman, that Hart Loyale had always kept in the centre of the smoke-stained man- tel above the fireplace in the bin, old-fashioned living room. .Slim dug through some of the shelves in his own room and un- covered a snapshot of his father, wielding a branding: Iron over a prostrate steer. This Slim plaieci beside that of his mother and sat there for hours before the two of them. Finally lu' went to his looni. He cleaned up and donned fre.ih clothes, then went in to supper. Roy O'Hrien immediately detail- ed the account of Stev<- and Char ley attempting to gang him. The jolly little Irishman knew what he was doing, and it v/as not long before his niitural humor and drawling brogue had Slim chuck- ling. Immediately after the meal. Slim went dowi, to the corral and saddled a bronco. Dawota Blue ac- I'o.sted him just as he was about to mount. "Give my regards to Mona, Slim," he drawled. "Meb- be yuh better leave yore guns home." Slim looked at him, frowing. "I don't get yuh, Dakota." The Circle L foreman rolled and lit a cigarette. "I understand that Leo Brockwcll has been visitin' Mona quite a bit lately," he ob- served. "If yuh should happen to run into him â€" well, killin' him wouldn't do yuh a bit of good if yuh had to go back to Jarillo for it. C'mon ; gimme yore guns, kid." There was no doubting the sin- cerity or logic of Dakota's pro- po.sition. Slim hesitated, then un- buckled his belts and handed over the .scabbarded weapons. "Thanks, Dakota," he said gruffly, as he rode away. Dakota watched until Slim had disappeared into the dusk, then turned back to the bunkhouse, where he met Roy O'Brien. "Where's Slim goin'?" asked Roy. "Over to see Mona Hall," an- swered Dakota. "I jest persuaded him to leave his guns home. He might run into Leo Brockwell over there." Roy grunted and nodded. "I get yuh. But don't that leave the lad kinda helpless? Supposin' he runs again somebody on the trail that don't like him. He wouldn't be after bavin' a ghost of a chance." "I know it," agreed Dakota. "That's where yuh come in, Roy. Grab a bronc an' drift along on Slim's trail. Yuh can keep him from knowin' yo're around, but in case of necessity yuh can step in an' take the play away from him. Savvy?" "Beggora, yesl" snorted Roy. "Out of me way; I'm ridin'." Young Loyale had ridden the trail between the Circle L and the Dot H many times before. And with quickening heart, he knew it was good to be riding it again. Slim had known Mona Hall for a good many years and she had become a sort of institution with him. She had always been kindly, gentle and understanding. No matter what turmoil of feeling Slim had ever been in, a visit and talk with Mona had comforted him and clarified his mood.

Feminine Beauty Goes Modernistic Canadian Portrait Painter Says The Grecian Type So Ad- mired By Artists of Other Ages Appears Definitely "Out" The trend of feminine beauty is changing through modern art â€" lyyy'.s artistic beauty as por- trayed by modern artists has de- veloped a "sardonic, sinister type" of woman as a canvas "beauty". That thought comes from Sir Wyly Grier, Toronto portrait painter. He sees artists who live 100 years from today saying "My what sardonic, sinister women liv- ed in that age." Discussing the trend in femin- ine beauty, Sir Wyly said there was little variation in the specifi- cations of beauty from the early centuries until the end of the Gib- son girl era. "Sardonic, SinUter" "In all these years," he said, "beauty didn't change very much, particularly in Europe. The Gre- cian type was the type of beauty preferred on canvas. While the portraits of beautiful women ap- pear to be different during the various centuries, it was actually a change in hair styles and dress." The 15th century saw the real Grecian beauty, according to the famous ai-tist. "She had a straight nose, full chin, short upper lip and a 'Cupid's bow' mouth," he said. Her Chinchillas Pay Dividends Pool Formed by Alberta Wo- men to Raise Valuable Rab- bits Is Successful. Mrs. S. O. Williams formed a "pool" at Cardston, Alberta, some time ago to start a chinchilla rab- bit-raising project which has proven very successful. When Mrs. Williams brought three pairs up from California there was some doubt as to whether they would thrive In Alberta climate, but those hardy natives of the high Andes are now the centre of a thri- ving industry which has already re- turned the original investors more than their promised dividends. Chinchilla families arrive twice or even three times a year from single birth to quadruplets. The original cost was $,1,200 a pair, so Mrs. Williams formed a "pool." The colony now is near- Ing 40, but new importations are being brought to meet the demand. At Son's Knee .Mrs. Laura Jacobs, of Chicago, freshman in the University of New Mexico school, has been placed in English class taught by Professor Willi.s Jacobs. He is her son. 5200 For Any Old or Lantern! Your Calcman Dealer paya TWO DOLLARS for any old lamp or lantern whtn you trad« it in on â-  new Cole- man.
