"SALAM VICTOR ROSSEAU DAWN CHAPTER VI At the end of the short street the s<tge began, mingled with patches of range grass. Hooker truck a trail that ran outside the bottleneck of the valley and wound upward toward the mesas. For half an hour the two rode in silence. Hooker now and again reining in to drink from a bottle that he carried in his saddle pocket. Invariably he tendered Hie bottle to Dave first, but Dave declined it. They had reached th lower resas and the upper mesas. The ag-e had given place to a thin crub. Looking back, Dave could ee the whole valley stretched out beneath him, and Mescal a mere blur on the landscape, far below. He spoke for the first time. "Seems to me pardner, you got mig-hty poor grazin' up here," ke said. "Looks like a self-re- pectin' cow would have a hard cratchin* for to make a livin'." Hooker swayed in the saddle, leered at him as he rode closer. "I've only got one cow, Dave," he answered, "and a rundown ranch." "Different when my wife liv- ed," he said. "She stuck to me. But shj died three years ago, and since then I haven't cared much about anything excepting well, let's be jetting home." Just visible at the edge of the bru.-.h was a small cabin, with a wisp of smoke eddying upward from a sto\ epipe chimney. The little place was a mere shack, anil looked utterly forlorn. "Well, we're nome, Dave," aid Hooker. "Here's where we hang our hats under our hos- pita'.ile rooftree." lie took the lead, swaying from side to side in his saddle as' NEW RICHES from famous COBALT MINES 8 famous Cobalt nines now under the slnKlp c( ntral- tafil control of 8ll:uii-ii Ml n I MR & BmoItlnfT Corpor- ation.

The horses, wild-looking broncs, scattered, snorting. And then, Dave saw something that momen- tarily brought his heart into his throat. * For in front of the door, stand- ing with neither bridle, saddle, nor halter, was Black Dawn. Old Hooker shouted, and the door of the cabin opened. The girl, Lois, stood in the entrance, a frying-pan in one hand, and her arms white with flour to the elbows. "Howdy, Lois!" Hooker bawl- ed. "I've got some news for you. I've brought me back a partner, named Dave Bruce, and the inter- est on the mortgage is paid. He's going in with us, fifty-fifty. Come and shake hands with our new partner, Lois!" Dave clap- ped knees on his horse's flanks and rode quickly up. Lois was staring at him with dimay and anger on her face. He slipped to the ground and moved forward, but she made no response to his approach. "So you've come hack!" she said in tones of Litter anger. "I told you never to cross my path at'ain. What have you come for?" "Why, 1 told you, Lois he's gone into partnership with me Hooker began. "1 don't believe it. You can take this man back where you found him, and when you've done so, I'll come back and talk to you. Till then you needn't expect to sec me again!" "Hut Lois ' protested Hook- er. Ignoring the old man's shrill vociferations, the girl vaulted upon Black Dawn's back and clapped her knees to his .-ides. HJ started at a swift lope along the mesa, followed 'jy the whole 1 erd of broncs, and in u few moments they wire lost to .siy-lit in the scrub. There were t\\o rooms in the cabin, and a tiny kitchen, with a sink and a flow of water from a strea.'ii above. There was a bunl. in either room, a table and two chairs, a few pathetic touches of a woman's untrained hands, such as the chintz curtains ut the windows, two cheap rugs, and several pots of wild flowers blos- oming in tin cans at the win- dows. In the larger room, into which Hooker had stapgereu, there was something that bore out the old man's boast of his past, in the shape of a bookcase containing some three dozen tattered books. Dave glanced at tlwm and saw that they were mainly historical volumes. Hooker saw him looking at them and came staggering up. "yueer tricks life plays," he hiccoughed. "You wouldn't be- lieve 1 used to be a orofcssor of ancient languages, would you? And now I'm just n old bum. A pest, as that Lonvrgan called n .." "You'd best lie down and sleep. Mr. Hooker," said Dave. In spite of the incongruous old figure, he couldn't help feeling both respect and pity for it. "Lie down, and I'll sec about rustling up a meal. How about your daughter? t>he won't come to no harm, will she?" "She's all right," hiccoughed Hooker. "Nobody around these parts would dare to touch her. Tt ey're plumb scared of her. She's got them wild broncs so THEY FLIRT WITH DANGER ^----~^rti fiw? Another "man's job" gives way to the ladies, as the trim trio above takes over test pilot jobs for Grumman aircraft. They make pre-combat tests of high-speed Navy Hellcats and Avenger torpedo bombers. they'll cat out of her hand. Grew up with them, running wild on the mesas. "I did all I could to educate her. I knew I hadn't long to live, and I wanted to help her, so that she could go out into the world and make her living. But the country's got her. She's a half- tamed thing, and sometimes I'm plumb scared of her myself." "Why didn't you quit this mesa and take her to a city'."' asked Dave. * * * He grasped Dave by the sleeve. "I've done my best by her, but she's not my daughter. Unner- tand that?? I'll tell you more- Sleep overcame Hooker even BL he siood talking. His tall frame swayed. Da\e caught him and, carrying him to the bunk, laid him down. -Night fell, and Lois had not returned. How long did the girl intend to stay away? When Hook- er was sobered up, Dave meant to thresh matters out with him, and come to an understanding with Lois. Suddenly he realized that he was dog-tired alter the exertions of the day. He went into Hooker's roo'.i and spread his blanket on the floor, making a pillow of his coat and slick- er. In u moment he was sound asleep. . . Hooker was aw.ike and stum- bling about the room, muttering to himself. Dave started up, sleep still in his eyes. "Hold oii, piirdner," he called. "Don't go treadin' on me." He heard the heavy body lurch against the cabin w ,11, "Who art you? What are you doing here?" called Hooker. "Just take it easy, Hooker, I'm your pardner, Dave Bruce. Maybe you don't remember sign- in' up with me." Dave turned up the wick of the lamp that he had set on a shelf beside the open door. He could see that Ltis" bunk was empty. Hooker was leaning against the wall beside the little window, breathing heavily, and staring at him. Outside it was pitch dark, but a glance at the clock showed Dave that it was within an hour and a half of sunrije. Hooker itared at Dave in the light of the lamp and passed his hand across his forehead. "Yes, I remember," he said thickly. "I was dreaming. Where's Lois?" "She ain't come in." (To Be Continued) It's The German People Who Spit Telling of their experiences while prisoner in Germany, American soldiers relate how the German people spit on and stoned Allied fliers captured after para- chuting to earth in enemy terri- tory from their disabled planes. These are the people we are fight- ing. The atrocities and cruelties practiced in Nazi prison camps tan be laid to officials. The spit- ting and the stoning were the work of the commc n folk of Ger- many. Such instances should not be necessary to convince anyone that we are fighting all of Ger- mui.y, and not merely a party or a ilique. But the stories should be valuable in straightening out the thinking of those who still cling to the belief that the rank and file of the German people are merely pawns of Hitler, more to be pitied than censured. Windsor Star. Britain Bears Bulk Of Empire Burden The United Knigdom bears the bulk of the cost of defence of the Colonial Kmpire; these terri- tories pay only a little more than they did in peacetime, which was generally under five per cent, of their total budgets. Britain gives financial help on a large scale for India's defence, to the extent of millions of pounds sterling, and bears the cost of India's troops abroad. It would seem from these patent facts that the burden of empire is borne largely by Great Britain. Montreal Gazette.
