// The Leashed Guns of Circle L by Perry Westbrook Fashion Flash^ia SYNOPSIS Slim Loy*le it paroUil from pri- «0B after tervinf 18 months for • crime he did not commit. He re- turn* to hi> Circle L ranch to find hit father dead and tinitter force* at worU, trying to make him vio- late hi* parole *o that he can again be railroaded to priton. The BrocUwelU and their gang are plotting to gain po**et»ion of Circle L ranch and the properly of Mona Hall, a neighbor and life- long friend of Slim Loyate. Slim ditcover* that Sheriff Star- buck ha* joined the plot again*t him. With the help of Dakota Blue and hi* cowboy*, Slim Loyale defies the land-grabber* to do their wor*t. CHAPTKU XXI Flying Lead Lead wliispered over ami around him, one slu({ kicking his eyes full of dust. Still he held his fire jjam- bling that without Starbuck to lead them the remaining members of the posse would break and run for it. In this he was also right. Reali- zing that their leader was down, the posse {fave back faster and faster, then finally turned and thundered away into the night. For a time Steve Owens and Char- ley Quinn warmed them on their way with the Winchesters. But presently Slim's voice, calling out, stopped all shooting. Slim came through the darkness warily. "Dakota, yuh all right?" he railed. "Sittin' pretty. Slim," was the laconic answer. "They've all sloped. Bring the boys out, I've got Starbuck." Slim exclaimed in surprise. "Leo Brockwell's back in the cor- ral," he vouchsafed, as he came up. "Tisdale stopped a slug some- where, but it can't be very bad; he's still cussin'." He raised his voice to a shout. "Hi, gang; come on over. They've pulled out." Newness That Slenderizes ! r.\TTi;i;\ 102.")

"Got a furrow from my wrist plumb to my elbow," he ex- claimed with profane punctua- tions. "She's bleedin' some, but I've got my neckerchief wound around it. It'll keep for a time." Stove, Charley and Oscar re- ported, unhurt, except that Oscar had had one boot heel shot off. He walked with a queer hitchity- hcp that caused Steve to chuckle. "Ole step-an'-a-half Oscar." "I'm Done For" As Dakota scratched a match and bent over Starbuck, ho was surprised to sec that Starbuck'* eyes were open. The sheriff groaned. "Listen close," he whispered. "I'm done for an' I know it. Don't hold it agin yuh, Blue, yo're a pretty good man, "Time was when I was a square- shooter myself. But the glitter of money an' a lot of slick talk made a sucker outa me. However, I am to get some of the dirt otl my shriveled soul. I ain't got long, but I'll do my best. "Loyale, yuh were railroaded on perjured evidence. Arthur â€" George Arthur, he's got all the dope. Get holt of him an' make him talk. He's a coward, an' he'll come clean. An' yuh better skip out to town. Sarg Brockwell an' some more of his crowd are aimin' to rob the bank tonight. Arthur's idee â€" to keep yuh from loanin' money to the Hall girl. "Arthur an' Brockwell been runnin' this thing. Schemed to make a cleanup on them Big Bend herds. But they made a mess of things, an' got me into it. Leo Brockwell's the man who's been holdin' up the Vasco stage." His voice turned drowsy and plaintive. "I'm cold â€" cold as hell. Get m« a blanket, somebody." Steve Owens, subdued and a lit- tle awed, ran into the bunkhouse. But when he returned with a' blan- ket there was no need for it. Slim Loyale made swift decision on the information Starbuck had given before he died. The bank hold-up did not exactly surprise Slim; for that matter, none of the information did. But it rendered his position all the more secure, to know that his conjectures had been right. To Wipe Out the Stain He had guessed that an attempt might be made to loot the bank. For that reason he had detailed Roy O'Brien and Stoney Sheard to guard it. But he knew the odds would now be greatly against them. They would need help, fe- rocious fighters though they were. So Slim turned to Dakota. "Yuh an' me go to town, as quick as we can get there, Da- kota," he snapped tensely. "Tis- dale, yuh stay here an' let Oscar fix up that arm of yores. Steve an' Charley, get some lanterns an' clean up things around here. But keep yore guns handy. There's no tellin' but what that crowd, bein' desperate, might make an- other try. Grab a bronc, Dako- ta." Dakota's own horso was dead, but he soon secured another, as there were several riderless ones stamping and snorting around. Iti a fast, ground-eating gallop, he and Slim headed for town. Slim knew human nature, and ho knew that unless this full ex- oneration was made, there would always be .soma who would believe his incarceration had been legiti- mate. The only way to com|)lete- ly wipe out that stain against him was to get that confession from Arthur. .Slim's face was grim as he considered it. He'd get what he wanted if he had to resort to Apache tricks to do it.

Are Better Insulated The report was presented to the convention of the society of heat- ing and ventilating engineers, dis- closing that the thickness of the ''thermal Insulating tissues" â€" or cold weather protection â€" of women is nearly double that of men. And In hot temperatures, the re- port added, the girls don't begin to perspire nearly as quickly as tiielr escorts, thus explaining why they can keep that froshas-a-dalsy look while men wilt. Contrasts of colors such as yel- low on black or navy and rose or flame red with white or black are to be good this season. Plain chiffons in pleated, shirred and tailored styles will be seen in street length afternoon dresses for spring wear. Coats and suits will be softer this year and shoulders will be smoother.

And the desire to look youthful is equally vivid. Fortunately, there is not one of us but can take years off our appear- ance, by devoting a little more care to certain vital factors. Here are some points to study in rela- tion to your own appearance. MOUTH. Lines around the mouth often come from distorted facial habits. Avoid pouting. Ap- ply a touch of rich tissue cream daily. And try this treatment â€" often. Close lips, fill your mouth with air and blow hard. A sim- ple but remarkably effective meth- od to keep mouth lines at bay. EYES. Bright sparkling eyes speak of youth, and to keep yours clear and shining, use a drop or two of Murine every day. This will cleanse and relax your eyes. Each night smooth the skin around them with tissue cream, patting it in gently. Avoid undue eyestrain. FOREHEAD.

Dean Doug- las Clarke, of the Faculty of Wusio ot McGill University, declared last week. ''The world today is mad," said Mr. Clarke. "It is madder than we have ever known it. It Is not at Us maddest. On this side of Iha Atlantic, while there is compara- tive peace, there is the worship o( machinery and efficiency, fn the East and the West, the passion is for domination and racial aggrand- izement. For what seems ages, wo have seen Spain torn to shreds. China Is in the same position. "Don't Let Them Be Cogs" "The relentless drive and compe- tition, the cooling and hardening ot sentiment and the looseness with which obligations are held, are driving us to the machine age," ha added. As a remedy, Mr. Clarke suggest- ed that children be saved from be- ing caught up In the cogs of ma- chinery. They should be taught to admire nature, he said, and the beat literature should be made available to them. First Aid To Cold Sufferers These Pictures Tell Yob Wliat to Do for Amazingly Fast Relief 1.
