Chapter Seven WEDDING DAY SUNDAY morning on the Lavery ranch found the Montana Kid moving about In his room with a alight limp, but whistling at the work of Incasing his long body and his strong shoulders In white shirt and collar, In socks ot black silk, and In a fine blue-black serge, at last. Even as he knotted his necktie on his wedding day, he kept fleilng his feet a litle In the softness ot his fine calf boots because he could not tell what guns might look at him before this day was ended. It was what he most disliked an ad vertised appearance; and there were plenty of men In the world who might want to take advantage of It. He would need three pairs of eyes with which to keep on guard this day; but that was what he had need' ed a great part ot his life, and per haps It was why be was whistling now. His stay on the Lavery ranch had Been a quiet back-water, a pause 1n the hurry of the current that waa headed towards some wild and un known sea. Now that he waa dressed, he looked quizzically at the brown face In the mirror and found that the blue-bright eyes were alert for danger rather than for hap piness. Gray-headed Ransome, the fore man, poured tight and helpless Into Bunday clothes, smoked a clgaret and watched his friend. "It'll be a great day," said Ransome. "A, long day," corrected tbe Kid. "Any bozo might think," suggest ed Ransome. "that you wasn't tSfc JL7 tinna step out with a baauty that had a coupla millions to Host her," "Might an? boio think that?" murmured Montana. "Any boso might think," want on Ransome, hearlly, trowntnr, "that you didn't Klva much ot a damn about one ot the prettiest girls In the world." THE KID, Instead ot answering, looked at Ransome with eyes that had become the color of slate; then he picked up that pair ot Colts with the extra long barrels and made them disappear Inside his clothes with one ot those swift, easy gestures which the eye could not follow Tery well. After that he went to Ransome and laid a light touch on hla shoulder. "Old Ransoms!" he said. "Yeah, old Ransome be damned,1 said the foreman. "What about old Montana, I'm asking?" Many othor things were going on at the aarne time about the big Lar ery house. There was Ruth Lavery In her room, being draped in films of white. She smiled a good deal until the girl who was the best ot her friends said to her, suddenly, whispering: "Iluth, are you amlllng because you're happy, or Just to please me?" "I'm happy, of course," answered Ruth Lavery, "Rut I'm frightened. Something Is going to happen!" And In tiuiit of that house Rich ard Lavery senior was walking rest lessly up and down, up and down, canning the horlson from time to time as though he expected a sign ECLIPSE OE SUN SAN FRANCIHCO, Jon.

He turned almost expectantly to wards a sudden rattle ot hoofs that beat on the lower trail and then revealed a rider on a sweating mus-, tang. It waa a young fellow with a look of anxiety, as though wild In dians might be behind him. He threw himself out of the saddle and ran to Lavery. "D'you know what's happened?" he gasped. "Jack Lascar that yal-ler-faced teller called Lascar that showed up In town the other day he's gone and nailed a notice on the bulletin-board In front of the post- office. I've copied It down!" He nulled out a piece of paper and read aloud. Half the words were a gasping whisper and half were almost shouted. Everybody notice that wants to: Me, that l Jack Lcar, ! go Ins to etand out In the middle of the etreet In front of HI Bailey's blacksmith ehop at ten-thtrty this name morning and watt for the low yaller hound by name of Montana Kid.

What does he mean by permitting open challenges In a place like Ben tonvllle?" "The sheriff's out of town," said the messenger. "Some ot the boys, have sent for blm. He ought to be JL-l mmm "Get off the ranch' cried Lavery. back by about ten-thirty. But I thought that you might want to know " "Get off the ranch!" cried Lay- ery, "Don't let Montana see you. If he should And out " He found that the rounded eyes of the messenger were peering straight past him and, turning, Rich ard Lavery saw Montana standing in the open door of the bouse. AboTe the white ot the stiff collar his face looked browner and young er than ever. Montana was rolling clgaret, letting his Angers see thlr own way. while he said: You ride back and tell Jack Las car that It's a little late for me to get his message, but I'm coming down there as (nst as a good horse 111 take me. Tell him that I'll fin- tin the Job 1 loft half done a while back." lie scratched the match, touched the flame to the crimped end of the wheat-straw paper, and took In a good, deep breath of the smoke. His eyes had an absent look, as though he were considering a further an swer. But the messenger Jerked his head In understanding and ran back to his pony. It was something worth remembering during a life to be the connecting link between a Jack Las car and a Montana. When Montana got Into the saddla and Jogged around the corner of thi hsrn he saw that he would have to face all the music In one great burst. For on the veranda stood the as sen. bled family down to the one Wgged cook, with a shimmer ol whtte for Ruth Larery in the centei of the group, and her father tall and straight and forbidding beside her. Montnna rode straight up to them and pulled oft his hat (Cop vrtpM, JJ(, Harper 4 Srolhtrt, Montana rldtt, tomorrow, to mott hit chtlltngtr. POHTl.AND, Ore., Jan.

The guide Is & publica tion issued by the consumers' coun sel of AAA. .Meat prices, In their rise, will be doing an "about face." Between Sep tember and December they showed a more Important drop than other foods. They were dropping from the high level established In the late summer when It became evident the drought damage would be severe. Those high levels could not be main tained. The drop was hastened by the fact that farmers were forced to send their steers, hogs and lambs to mar ket sooner due to low supplies of feed. As a result meat has been abundant on the markets. Dairy Products Up, Too. But the situation will not last, the guide eays. Livestock economists fore see materially lower supplies for 8 MATTEB POP P5 WH&T KIM WE DO TO GIT MAGGIE'S bl'bTF.r?

Dairy products and eggs also are expected to reflect the high price of feed. Recent trends In the wholesale butter market have been upward. This Indicates consumers' prices may rise further. However, the guide ex- ( pects to see butter Imported from New Zealand if the price at New York goes any higher. Egg prices usually drop st thlt time of year, but they may not drop as much this year as usual. This Is because the number ot laying birds hns been reduced, and perhaps also because the feed ration has been cut rather drastically In many poul try producing areas. While egg prices will drop some from now until spring, hen prices can be expected to rise. Vegetable Prlres Lower. In most of the other major foods the prices are expected to remain comparatively level, even In the classifications where the present price la a low one. Fruit and vegetable prices are lower this year than last. Reasonable prices In certain food crops are due to the large supplies en hand. The potato crop Is 5.4 per cent above the five year average from 1037 to 1933; sweet potatoes, 8 per cent up; pears, 5.1 per cent up; oranges. 35.7 per cent up; grape fruit, 35.3 per cent up. 4 PHOENIX, Ariz..
