The .surest w«y to keep me from usin' that money to loan out on mortgages, like the Dot H Dot's, is to grab the money off. "Don't yuh see that Brockwell an' Arthur have gone too far by this time to back down? They cither stand to win big or lose everything. I'll bet yuh anythin' yuh want.

"Likely to be," was the answ- er. "If it comes, it'll be a hum- mer. So watch things close." "An' howl" chortled the irre- pressible Steve. "We will, yuh know." Just at sunset Tisdal xamc rid- ing up. His eyes were uleak and his lips were stern. Slim and Da- kota met him as he <liKmounted. .At the look on Tisdale's face, Slim jabbed an elbow into Dakota's ribs. "I knew he'd be foam;n'," he murmured. He Lied Tisdale wa.sted no time in ex- pressing himself. .As he swung to the ground he faced Slim and Da- kota truculently. "Listen," he de- manded hart^hly, "how much range does that damn law shark own around here, anyhow?" Slim shrugged. "Not a yard of it that 1 know of." "What? Don't he own anv a- tall?" "Not a bit." Tisdale looked plainly astound- ed. "That hombie must be j)lumb loco," he declared. "He gave me to understand that he controlled all this range for at least five miles, both ways from the mouth of Jericho Valley." "Then he lied, Tisdale. What he meant to say was that he hoped to control il by the time yore herds start across it. Ah, how much per haid was he gonna charge yuh in range toll for yore herds?" "One round simolcon," exploded Tisdale. "Yes, sir, one whole domn dollar per haid, ycarlin's included." "What did yuh tell him?" "I told him that he was a cross between a polecat an a buzzard an' that he could go to blazes. I told him that we fellers comin' north to the Kicapoo range would pay a reasonable range loll, but nothin' like a dollai-. "I told him we'd fight our way through bofoi-e we'd be lobbed by anybody. Why, there's nigh onto thirty thousand haid of cat- tle movin' up Jericho Valley right now â€" the combined herds of ten of us Big Bend ranchers. There'll be at least half that many more followin' us that 1 know of. Calculationt Uptet "That jasper musta figgcred he was gonna clean up a fortune off us. He knows wc cain't afford to turn back by now. If we did, we'd never be able to drive an- other route in time to get to the Ki,'apoo country when it's opened. "An' that range up there ain't gonna last any too long. It's a plain case of gettin' there right away, or not at all. Hut me, I cain't understand him makin' such <lemands when he don't own none of this ranne." "Suppose -xt' go an' have sup- per," suggested Slim. "I'll tell yuh the whole set-up while wc cat." Over the nical. Slim gave the l!ig Hend man the entire story. "Yuh see," he ended, ".Arthur an' (he rest of the polecats in with him were schemin' (luite a long way ahaid. They shore hoped to be in control of this range. Sev- eral things kinda upset their cal- culations. One of them was bav- in' yore herds arrive so ?arly. .An- other was my gettin" oula jail on a parole. "With a little more luck they'd have won out, an' had yuh in a corner. IJigbt now yo'ro sore, Tis- dale, over .Arthur's demands. But yuh know as well as I do, that in the end yuh'd 'a' paid that <lol- lar-a-haid range toll. Am I right?" Tisdale nod-led ruefully. "Yeah yo're right, I.oyale. We'd just plain have to, or lose everythin*. Hut evidently, from the way ho talks, that .Arthur ain't givin' up hope yet of gettin' control of this range." "He hasn't," agreed Slim. "The next forty-eight hours are gonna se • hell a-poppin'. or I don't know my way about. I'm tryin' right now to spri'ad niy <yards to spoil bis plans. Now (hen, just how much toll did yuh fellers figure yuh'd be willin' to pay nn' call it a fair deal all aiound?" Toll Money "Two bits a haid," stated Tis- dale. "An' we'll guarantee to keep the herd well bunched an' drive fast. We won't let 'em spread a bit. 1 think that's a fair offer." "Darned fair," agreed Slim. "Now here's my proposition. Moat of that rrossin' will be over Dot H Dot range. Miss Hall, who owns (he Dot H Dot, has got to have money to iquelch Arthur an' hia forecloiure move.

If, somehow or other, your ward- robe always seems faintly disjoint- ed and you constantly are tired of about half tho Items In It, perhaps you ought to make a shopping list every four months, actually buying clothes only four times a year. In- stead of whenever j'ou happen to see something you think you like pretty well. This way, you won't have a red hat with which not a single dress you own can be worn. Or navy shoes when all of your frocks are black. Be Crazy About Your Dresses Seldom is it advisable to buy any- thing hurriedly. And remember the dress, which you don't like or are Indifferent about until a saleswom- an tells you how flattering it Is and that you certainly should buy It, us- ually is a dress that you won't like and wear for years. Make It a rule not to take any cosliimo that you aren't simply crazy about. Being a polite, consid- erate customer, doesn't necessarily mean a wishy-washy, easily con- vinced one.

The New Year Is a good time to undergo a Beauty Stocktaking. Con- sider yourself from head to toe; weigh up your good points and those that are not so good. Resolve to make the most of your appear- ance during the coming months. And break all your other N'ew Vear resolutions, if you must, but per- severe with this one! Is your skin clear and smooth? I am a firm believer In the habit of taking a dash of fruit salt in a glass of water every morning on arising. It helps internal cleanliness and keeps spots and pimples away from the skin. Have you any "aging" lines or wrinkles? I.,ook especially around the eyes, mouth, chin and forehead. If the signs are only faint, get to work on them. It will save lots of trouble later on. Deep furrows re- quire coivstaut and patient care to eradicate. Uus cleansing cream dur- ing the day and. at night, massage with a rich tissue cream. Leave this cream on overnight unless you have an oily skin. WhaLkind of face powder do you use? Are you using a coarse powder that tarnishes the skin, or do you wisely use the delightfully smooth alrspun powder that warms Ihe skin and gives it a youthful ap- pearance? Do you bite your lip.o, or do they chap easily? The biting cold of our winters plays havoc with our lips, but a lypsyl salve will smooth them and keep them lovely. Next week's article will continue this Beauty Stocktaking. In the meantime, write me about your per- sonal beauty problems.

Bread or Cake â€" Should be cut with a knife that has been first put into hot water or held over a flame. This makes a clean cut. Bread Doughâ€" Put a 25-watt light on an extension cord, ir. a gallon crock, and place bread dough over it. This will kocj the dough at an even temperature â€" winter or summer. Cake and Cookiea â€" Keep fre.sh longer if a peeled apple or a piece of fresh bread is placed in the cake box for additional moisture. Cake Icing â€" That is delicious can be made by melting a plain chocolate candy bar on cake while it is still a littl • warm. Douglinutt â€" Will not absorl) much gi-ease if a teaspoonful of vine- gar is added to cold fat. Fruit Cake â€" When baking, place a cup of water in the oven to keep enough moisture in air and prevent cake from drying out while baking. Meringue â€" Will stand up high and perfect if a generous pinch of baking soda is added to beaten egg whites. Pie» of One Cruit â€" Rrown the meringue by holding an elec- tric hot plate over them as this saves heating the oven and browns the meringue quickly. (Mrs.) T. M. B., in Christian Science Monitor.
