Don’t Try to "Save" on Home

There is one point, on which prac

Don’t gitie uour child unknown remedies

All mothers know this. But some
times the instinct to save a few
pennies by buying “something just

McAlpin broke Into angry exclamation:
“What the devil! Can't we have a
friendly game In my own quarters
without a drunken bum chargin’ In on

Sawdy, less Intent on saving his
money and chips, had turned Quong
partly over. "It's a chink, boys. There
must be a tong war on.”
Bob Scott, coolest of the trio, bent
to scan the Intruder's features.

“It's Quong, the cook out at Gun

Laid out on the hostler’s little bunk.
Quong's eyes opened and closed.
“What Is It, Quong? What’s wrong?"
asked Scott
With his eyes popping from his head.
Quong managed to form a word :
“Bull!" he exclaimed, hoarse and pant-
Ing. “Bull Pagei”
“What, Quong?”
"Bull Page!”
“He says Bull Page,” explained Scott.
"What’s a matter with Bull. Quong?"
Quong's eyes rolled In terror. “Gus."
"Who?”
“Gus.”
"Yes. Gus—what about Gus?"
“He kill him.”
“What do you mean? Bull killed
Gus? No!"
“Gus kill Bull."
"Who told you that. Quong?"
“I see ownself. Gus kill Bull.”
“Well, I'll be damned." exclaimed
Sawdy. "It looks like a straight story,
beys. That why you run Into town.
Quong?"
The China boy nodded.
The trio consulted together. A team
was hitched to a three-seated demo
crat wagon, Quong was helped Into
It, and with McAlpin driving, the four
set ont for the Jail to pick up Bill
Pardaloe. Pardaloe was In bed. They
routed him out and drove over to the
hotel to pick up Doctor Carpy.
Two hours later the party halted be

Gunlock.
In the stall farthest from the door
they found Van Tambel's victim. In

Carpy, poor Bull, left alone, had
dragged himself out of the stall and lay
on his back.
Carpy held a lantern over him His
face and head had been battered al
most beyond recognition.
“He's close to dead, boys," exclaimed
Carpy, low-voiced, to his companions.
“Get him to the kitchen. While I’m
working with him, look for Van Tam
bel."
They carried Bull to the kitchen
door. Scott entered carefully and.
groping In the dark, struck a match
and lighted the lamp. Bull, breathing
stertorously, was laid on the table.
Pardaloe tried the door leading to
the dining room. It was locked. He
rapped on It. He rapped again loudly,
but the summops brought no reply.
“Stand to one side. Bob," murmured
Pardaloe. “I’m goln’ to bust It”
He threw his shoulder against the
door. As It crashed open. Pardaloe,
followed by Scott, walked into the din
ing room. The door to the living room
stood open. This room, inspected, re
vealed no sign of disturbance.
Of the two bedroom doors opening
off this room, the door, one leading to
Van Tambel’s bedroom, was closed.
Setting the lamp on the table in the
middle of the room, Pardaloe knocked
on Van Tambel’s door and, getting no
reply, tried it. The door was locked.
Pardaloe called out, "If you’re In
there, Gus, unlock your door. I’m here
to talk with you." Pardaloe awaited
in silence a response from within ;
there was none.
Pardaloe threw himself Into the door.
It gave so easily that he stumbled
across the threshold.
The bedroom was dark. Scott relight
ed the lamp. Parualoe held It above his
head and, followed by Scott, walked
Into the bedroom.
They saw the huge figure of a man
lying across the bed. Pardaloe, passing
the lamp to his companion, put his
hand on the man’s shoulder, saw that
he was unconscious, and peering closer,
turned the face toward him. It was
Van Tambel.
"Call Carpy, quick, Bob,” muttered
Pardaloe. "He's unconscious."
When Carpy stalked Into the room,

his companion, turned the body partly
over and examined it.
“How Is he, Doe?” whispered Par
daloe.
“Dead.”
Already seized by the excruciating
pain that cost him his life. Van Tam
bel had left his victim and staggered
In his distress to the house.
"It was a quick call, boys,” said
Carpy to those around him.
Transfixed by agony, the cruel fea
tures could not be softened.
“Nothing more to be done here,”
said Carpy In the living room. “Take
Bull over to the bunkhouse now and
lay him on his bed."
The clatter of hoofs was heard In
the yard. "It's the boys back from
town." said Sawdy, looking through
the window. Carpy turned to Parda
loe. "Go out and tell them what's hap
pened. and not to touch a thing until
after the coroner comes out.”
Doctor Carpy came Into breakfast
late next morning. Jane, who had fin
ished her breakfast, rallied him, as
she rose.
“I am late,” he admitted.
“Night work?”
He nodded.
Standing beside the table, she was
looking over the newspaper. He put
his arm around her.
“Sit down a minute, Jane. I've some
thing to say to you. News for you."
She blanched a bit. "About Bill, Doc-
ter?” she asked anxiously.
"Not a thing In the world about Bill.
It’s—about your father.”
"Oh, I know he's terribly angry!"
Carpy shook his head. "Not now.
Jane. He's not angry with anybody
now."
"Doctor! What de you mean? Have
you seen him?”
He nodded. "Yes, last night. You
know how sick a man he's been—"
"Doctor!" she exclaimed faintly.
"He's dead !"
"He died last night."
She hid her face in his arm and
broke Into tears.
“Jane, your father had lived his life
—there was nothing for him to look
ahead to.
"This makes a great change In your
life, girl. I guess I’ll take you up to
the hospital. Bill must know this. Now
I've got good news for you and no

CHAPTER XIII
Lovely and Inexpensive
Bull Page was only a broken cow-
boy. but Bull was loved in Sleepy Cat
Yet even resentment at the name
of Van Tambel in Sleepy Cat was
softened somewhat when men heard of
Jane's unremitting attention at Bull's
side in the hospital. Van Tambel was
buried. McCrossen took charge.
To Jane's infinite relief, Bull recov
ered and went back to Gunlock.
At the ranch there was an air of
cheer when Jane was installed; every
body on tiptoe to render service. Mc
Crossen was especially eager to please.
“Well, Jane, I guess you know what
ever I can do to take care of things
is goln’ to be done, twenty-four hours
a day if need be," he said. “All you
have to do Is to leave it to me.”
"I shall depend on you for every
thing,” she returned.
“Everything, Jane?" he echoed, smil
ing as if to invite a confidence.
Jane was not caught. “Everything
connected with running the ranch,”
she said evenly.
But it became increasingly evident
as the days went by that the energetic
foreman still regarded himself as a
suitor.
For a fortnight nothing further oc
curred to break the routine of ranch
work, and McCrossen said no more.
A
The general impression in town was
that Denison, as far as Jane was con
cerned, was out of the running. Jane,
it was argued, would never marry a
blind man. and the consensus of gossip
was that Bill's sight was gone.
