By JACKSON GREGORY

cousin of his, Jesse Conroy, known
as the Laredo Kid, who murdered
his brother. Barry is befriended by
'Judge Blue and his daughter, Lucy
The Judge turns oift to be a friend
of Laredo’s and a bad actor. Barry
escapes, however, and meets an old
man named Timberline. who also is
gunning for the Laredo Kid. Afte'
several years of searching, Bar.,
returns to Judge Blue’s house, where
he meets a man called Tom Haveril
whom he accuses of being his cousin,
Jesse, in disguise. Barry becomes
convinced of this later and they have
a gun battle, both getting hurt. Re
covered, Barry discovers Tom Hav
eril has married Lucy whom he loves
Barry kidnaps Lucy, and after a gun
battle with Haveril’s men, takes her
to his cabin in the mountains. There
he finds the real Laredo Kid wounded
amd dying. There Lucy learns rtie
is not Judge Blue’s daughter but a
wealthy heiress whose parents were
slain when she was a little girl
Meantime TimberMne brings news of
nursuit by Tom Haveril and Judge
Blue and their men. Lucy is sent on
to Barry’s ranch. Barry and Timber-
line take to the hills with the dying
Laredo.
Thirteenth Installment
Timberline went willingly on his
errand.
The Laredo Kid, instead of dying,
as he undoubtedly should, mended
from the first day. In three days,
having the lay of the land and feel
ing master of the situation, he spoke
some part of his mind.
“Yuh been good to me. Cousin
Barry,” he piped, with so much mal
ice in his eyes that it must have
been the overflow of the spleen with
in him.
“As soon as you can hold a gun
steady,” said Barry angrily, “Pm go
ing to hand you one—and kid you.
Laredo laughed at him. Two days
later he appeared to have a relapse
It turned put to be just a bit of ■dev.
er acting on his part.
Barry was away an hour. When
he came back be was wet with sweat
and was breathing hand; he brought
Sarboe back with him only to dis
cover that the Kid had gone. Gone
also were both saddle horses and
the bulk of what little provisions
the cabin afforded. Laredo, riding
away, had neither gone empty hand
ed nor left them a means of over
hauling him.
They shouldered their small pacts
and started on the long walk t >
Barry’s old home.
The third day by mid forenoon
they came within sight of the old
home.
They went on and a moment latei
Sarboe heard a strange sort of ex
clamation burst from Barry. Some
one had come out onto the rickety
old porch; it was a small, slender
woman. She called out something
and started down the stops as two
men came out of the house behind
her.
And then Sarboe was hard beset
to keep up with Barry Haveril who
went striding along to the house as
though he could not get there fast
enough. Next the two Lucys **me
running out of the house, with Ken
March close behind.
The slender little woman wh® had
been first to sight the oncomers
started running along the path to
ward them, and Barry bore down on
her faster and faster, presently
sweeping her clear off the ground
and hugging her.
“Home again-” cried Barry, his
eyes wet and shining. "All of us!”
All of them except dead Robert
who lay buried up in the hills to
ward Tex Humphrey’s place, slaugh
tered by the Laredo Kid for the sake
of a horse and saddle.
They were having supper, when
Timberline came riding back to them
“They got sight of me, the cusses,
about fifteen-twenty mPes back,” he
muttered.
Everybody started asking ,,s«s-
tions again. Timberline, his eyes,
red-rimmed and bleak and wrathful,
turned to Barry. “They’ve outlawed
yuh, pardner, damn cm; outlawed
yuh for stealin’ another man’s wife.
They’ve made it look like it wa* all
lawful. They’re out gunnin’ for yum,
Sundown, an’ all warranted to shoot
on sight.”
He had' met a man who had left
Red Rock the day before, one Cliff
Bendiger, an old prospector of Tim
berline’s own breed and a friend. He
had said, by way of greeeing: “I
hear young Barry Haveril’s a pard
ner of yore’n. Well, if so, yuh better
know now if yuh don’t already, what
the talk is.”
They speculated upon the riders
he had seen some “fifteen-twenty
mile from here.” Ben Haveril, Bar
ry’s father, offered thoughtfully:
“If yuh saw them that close, well
likely they’re heeded here. Where
else?"
Timberline said:“If a gang swoops
in on us whie Barry’s here, we got
to fight it out with ’em, ain’t we?
If Sundown’ll do a quick sneak, let
’em come.”
“That’s sense,” nodded Ben Hav
eril. “Barry won't have to go fur,
but he better step along. He c’n
watch the house from the woods,
come day, an’ c’n come on back if
the coast is clear.
“You had better go right away,
Barry,” said his mother.
“Of course you’re right,” Barry
said. “I don’t want to run out on
you folks, but it’s clear as day that
my staying here now would only
drag you all into it. Sure, I’ll go.
But there’s something you’re all for
getting—”
Lucy sprang to her feet. There
were fires in her eyes, too; she stood
quiveringly tense. She could not
wait for Barry to finish. She cried
out passionately:
“What about me? What am I to
do?”
“That’s what I was thinking of,"
muttered Barry.
“Don't you see?” demanded the
girl. “It isn’t only Barry they want.
They’re after me, too!”
Lucy’s' eyes were brighter than
ever and her face was aflame again
when she made her hurried rejoinder:
“I am not going back to—to any
body, until I know a lot of things!
I—” She whirled to Barry. “Take
me with you, Barry!
“We wouldn’t let ’em take her,
Barry,” said his father. “Not unless
she wanted.”
“But don’t you see?” cried Lucy.
“It would be the same as if Barry
had stayed; they’d turn things up
side down to get me—it’s the Hamil
ton money they’re after, I know it.
Didn't they—didn’t someone murder
for a part of it long ago?”
Barry caught her by the arm. He
didn’t speak to her but to his
brother.
“Get a couple of horses saddled
up for us, will you, Lute? We’ll be
getting ready to go.”
The wanly lighted windows be
hind them were blotted out in the
dark. The black limbs of trees like
monstrous arms spread above them.
A sigh escaped the girl. That was
when, after a few minutes of riding,
^he experienced a sensation of relief,
of escape. At the same instant
Barry spoke,
Barry said. “You know I love you,
Lucy."
And Lucy, her voice hushed like
the breath of night air through the
pines, answered him with the ques
tion, “Do you, Barry?”
And you, Lucy—down in your
heart—”
“DonU, Barry!”
Presently she said: “Barry, life is
terrible, isn’t it? It isn’t fair. It
doesn’t give us a chance. If one
only knew—”
“Why didn’t I take vou away with
me that time from Tylersville ? ” he
exclaimed bitterly.
She didm't answer, but in her heart
she swhdapered despairingly, “Oh

why didn’t you, Barry?”
“Tonight I’m going to take you to
Tex Humphreys’ ranch,’ said Barry.
“It’s not far; we’ll be there in an
hour or an hour and abalf—”
“Sh!” whispered Lucy, and reached
out to catch his sleeve. “I hear
someone coming!”
He, too, heard horses hoofs «n >
bit of rocky trail in the distance,
and a moment later there were faint,
faraway voices.
They had scarcely drawn aside
from the trail when a dozen men
went riding by. Two of -those men
were Judge Blue and Tom Haveril.
The riders passed on.
When they drew near Tex Hum
phrey’s cabin in his clearing among
the pines Barry said, “Wait here a
minute; I’ll go ahead and make sure
it’s ail right,” and swhng down and
left her holding his horse.
A slim little figure started up be
fore him, materializing put of the
blackest of the shadows.
“Jesse! So you did come bade to
me!” said a soft voice murmurously.
Molly!” exclaimed Barry. “It’s
you isn’t is, Molly?”
She drew back, poised for flight.
“You—Who are you?” She sounded
frightened.
“I am Barry. Don’t you remem
ber Barry Haveril, Robert’s broth
er?”
“Oh!” she gasped out the one
syllable and drew still farther back
from him.
“You thought I was Jesse,’' ne
said. “What Jesse? Who is the
Jesse you looked for?”
'Molly was trying to bite his hand
but suddenly froze still.
“It’s Jesse Conroy, isn’t it?” Barry
persisted, still gripping her arm.
You’re waiting here for him. And
he is the mam who murdered Robert!
“You did love Robert, didn’t you,
Molly?” he said gently.
She nodded miserably, She said
faintly: “Robert, gone now. Has
ghost walks at night.”
“And then Jesse Qomrov oamel”
“I was so sad,” rfie said. "And
Jesse— He looked like' Robert, just
a little. And—amd—”
“And so you loved him, too,
Molly ?”
She grew fierce, stamping passion
ately. “No! You tell me he killed
Robert? That is true! I know. One
time Jesse asks me about Robert—
and when I cry he laughs. And he
says something then I can’t under
stand until now! He says, “If I hadn’t
your Robert wouldn’t be gone, hrh ?’
And he laughs some more, like a bad
joke.”
Then she sped away running off
into the forest.
Barry went on slowly toward the
dark cabin. When he rapped lightly
there was no answer.
He stepped into the house.
The empty house afforded no an
swer. Puzzled, he went back for
Lucy.
The fire on Tex Humphreys’ long
clod hearth, built up afresh by Barry,
blazed cheerily. Lucy crouched close
to it, warming her hands.
“You are the best, the finest man
I ever knew, Barry.”
“Lucy!”
He demanded, sounding stem, not
at all loverlike, “Do yd love me,
Lucy?”
“I—I think I do, Barry.”
There came a soft scatching
sound at a window which made them
start erect.
“It’s all right,” said Barry.
It was Molly. She said. “I want
to talk with her, Barry. The girl
You, Girl, come out here.”
“I’m going!’ said Lucy, drawn by
Molly’s voice.
Barry went with her to the door,
lifting down the bar. At the last
Minute he slipped his belt gun freto
her hand.
Barry returned to his task of pre
paring beds for the night on Tex
Humphreys’ sitting room floor. Out
side he heard' the girls talking.
He was just straightening up
when he heard a voice speaking
drawlingly close behind him.
“You woman-stealer!” said the
voice. Barrv pivoted to face Tom
Haveril. “I'm going to kill you this
time, Sundown Haveril, just as sure
as you’re a foot high.”
Barry dii not for a second expect
anything but sudden death. He had
given Lucy his gun.
“Kill and be damned to you,” he
said, and sounded merely disgusted.
“So you’re going to face it like a
little man, taking it standing up, are
you?” jeered Tom Haveril. “You
can’t run away and you can’t grab a
gun, so like any cornered coyote
you’ll look it in the face, will you?”
Barry wasn’t listening. The
greatest rage of Barry's entire life
flamed up within him then. Yet
somehow he must warn Lucy.
“What’s that?” he demanded.
“What did you say?”
Tom Haveril laughed at him,
thinking him gripped by terror.
“You yellow dog,” he said, “you’re
scared; that’s what’s the matter with
you.”
“So you’re going to murder me.
are you? No Idling for you in fair
fight—”
“Shut up! Where’s Lucy?"
“She isn’t here,” said Barry.
Tom Haveril mocked him, “Well,
as mv wfe she won’t last long, but
as Colonel Hamilton’s heiress, that's
different!”
Just then Barry heard a quiet
footfall and Lucy’s voice at the same
instant.

H-D COLUMN
By MISS ETHEL L. COUNTS
Running a family is like running
a business. The beginning of the
calendar year is a good time to take
stock of what is on hand——to look
ahead and decide what is needed in
the line of food, clothing, replace
ments for the next 12 months—to
draft out a program of action.
Food, of course, tops the list of
needs. But it must be more than
“just enough to eat.” The family’s
food supply should represent an ade
quate diet that will promote abound
ing health and vitality, says the Bu
reau of Home Economics of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
Studies made by the Bureau dhow
that vast numbers of American
families do not have the cash to buy
adequate diets. However, most farm
tamilies and many village families
are fortunate in having the land to
raise part of their own food supply
!fee part that easts so much to buy
the part that helps so much in
making diets adequate.
Most farm families have the space
for a vegetable garden, a patch of
berry bushes, perhaps even an orch
ard. If they’ve planned thedr needs
ahead, there will be a variety or
fresh fruits and vegetables all dur
ing the summer and fall. By mak
ing a food budget and preserving the
surplus there will be canned or
stored fruits and vegetables to last
until the garden bears again.
Treat for Lice and Mites
Unless your flock has been treat
ed for lice and mites within sixty
months, they may be infested with
these harmful parasites. This infes
tation may cause the loss of several
eggs per hen during the month which
greatly lowers the income per hen
during the seasr-i when eggs are
selling for good prices.
I.’ce stay on the birds at all times
and to destroy them the birds should
be treated with sodium fluoride dust
or by applying a nicotine sulphate
base compound to the perches one
hour before the birds go to roost,
poking sure that all the bird*, get
on the perches and that another ap
plication is made within 10 days to
destroy the lice from the eggs that
have hatched during this period. Al
so, nteotine sulphate compounds
give good results by individual treat
ment when one application from a
small can, placing a drop in the fine
feathers on the fluff, a drop in the
feathers under each wing, and a drop
in the feathers on the back of ihe
neck. Thorouglh cleaning of the
house and spraying wit|h a cresol
spray or some other effective method
such as old motor oils Is necessary
to got the mites since they stay in
the house in the daytime, biding in
concealed places, and infect the birds
mostly at night.
Newberry County has again been
fortunate in carrying off (two of the
nine garden prizes of the Piedmont
District annually donated by the
Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau.
These prizes are awarded to Mrs.
Ethel Cromer of the Long Lane club
and Mrs. W. B. Gogpsms of the
Hartford club. The splendid reports
from all of the contestants show
efficient gardening according to Miss
Ethel L. Counts, Home Demonstra
tion Agent One of the objects of
die contest is to promote greater in
terest in year round gardens and
the ooniservation of a sufficiency of
surplus vegetables for winter food.
The contest begins again January
the first.
