SNAPSHOTS OF A MAN PICKING A MOVIE By GLUYAS WILLIAMS CLUB GROUP ""V .IT'' WAPID-flRE ROMANCE BY, EVAN EVANS V'" BTHOPB1S: Ths Montana Kid is approaching Jack Lascar slowly; it ia a duel to the death with rs volvers. It was to havs been Mon tana's wedding day, but he put aeide Ruth Lavery, hie bride-to-be, to accept Lascar's challenge. Montana does not knout that the challenge was a fake, concocted by itateo Hubris to get Montana into Mexico, there to help Mateo recover the emerald crown of Our Lady, stolen from the church by the governor of Mateo'e province. The shtrlff ia ap proaching on a steaming horec, to etop the duel. Chapter Nine FLIGHT A WOMAN screeched through the thick silence that covered the town: "It's gotta be stopped! It's murder! Two at God's creatures out there to murder " The Tolce was muffled. A man could be heard to say, distinctly: "Now. Mame, don't you go beln' a fool. The boys have gotta have their fun, don't they?" The hoofbeats from the rear must have rounded a comer. They seemed suddenly nearer. It seemed to be a signal tor Jack Lascar. The man seemed hungry for the battle as be Jerked out a gun. The Kid made his draw In mldstep. He fired as bis foot struck the ground. Jack Lascar fired one bullet Into the air as he spun around. He fell neither forward nor back, but In a heap, and the dust washed up around him as though the earth were anxious to claim its own at once. With the fall of Jack Lascar there came out of the watchers a deep, quick, animal sound. The Hps of men and women and children grinned back suddenly as though there were something In the sight that filled them with a food of satisfaction, or of horror. The Kid went up to the body of Lascar and put his foot brutally on the shoulder of the man, and pushed him back so that be sprawled face up. Then Montana could see that a trickle of blood was still running down the side of Lascar's head sure proof that the fellow was not dead as yet. Well, It that bullet had glanced, It meant that there would be more trouble, great trouble, head of Montana. . There was something more to be considered, just now. That was the persistent beating of hoofs down the street and now rounding the last corner. So the Kid Jumped Bally, looking back as he Jammed his feet Into the stirrups. And he saw the sheriff come grandly around the next bend of the street with his mus tang aslant, the dust spilling out ildewlse from the slashing hoofs, ind the wind of the gallop furling back the brim of the sheriff's hat. And as the sheriff saw the picture letore him, the dust still rising ibove the place where Jack Lascar lay, the man of tUe law shouted. His cry was like the hoarse bark of a lea lion as he went for his gun. Montana did not try to get away down the street. Neither did he open Ore on the sheriff, because It was not his habit to shoot at the law-abiding. Instead, he sent the mare swinging over a four-foot fence and then trashing through tall shrubbery that closed over man and horse like water. The sheriff's bullets crackled through the brush; other bullets sang a smaller and a higher note tround the ears of Montana. But now he had to swerve the mare onto a back lane, and sent her scooting. There was going to be plenty of trouble. He could hear the voice of It growl and howl through Bentonvllle. THE Hons had finished fighting. - and now the spectators would take part In a lion-hunt Horses be gan to snort and squeal under the pur as men mounted and drove way In the pursuit. Men yelled or ders In voices that squeaked with excitement. The Kid smiled a little. His eyes filled with reminiscent pleasure. From his position, the south trail was the best trail. He went straight for It, taking note how the mare carried her head high, moving It In observation, keeping her ears pricked. She was Iron-hard. The run from the ranch had not weighted her hoofs with the least weariness. The lsst house, the last barn, whirled away behind blm. He was heading towards the beginning of the south trail with the tumult of Bentonvllle drawing to a single hesd behind htm, when he ssw a man on a black horse riding furiously down Ihe northern slope to head him off. There was still time to turn to the left down a broken ravine, but though he might avoid one enemy In this manner, he would loave himself Boy Scout Notes Troop No. 5. Medford. by Armine Lewis. Fourth meeting of 1035 waa held by troop No. ft In the Waahlnff ton school gym January 30. Plrat on the program waa bringing out of the colore, followed by roll call. Qames vera played until 8:03. ficoutmaAter Hoey called the troop in a circle and gave additional first aid. such m bandages, their use and how to treat wound of different kinds and vari ous methods of artificial respiration. Aftr thla, announcements were made. The Jamboree to be held In Washington, D. C waa talked over and highly praised. The mobilization on Fb. Bth, waa thought over very carefully and eUo the Father and Son banquet. The troop then fell In and the colore were pasted. The Scout Oath glvrn and troop diamlased. Troop No. 8. Medford, by Larry Be hade. Jr. The troop met January 29 with good attendance. 30 acouta tying present. V. B. Marshall gave a taUt on "Good Turn" and lted that trapped for that pouring crowd whose horses were beating up thunder behind him. Besides, he was In no mood to turn for one man or for two. So he drew a gun. The mare flowed beneath him like a current of a river; to shoot from her back would be as easy as shooting from the deck of a ship. But then ha saw that the stranger had neither drawn a revolver nor unsheathed the rifle whose holster slanted down under the right leg of the rider. It was a brown-faced Mexican, In overalls, with a tattered rag of a hat fluttering on bis head. He was dressed like a peon, though be rode a horse fit for a king. Something In that contrast, and In the tblck solid ity of the fellow's shoulders, put knowledge In the eyes of the Kid. "Rubrls!" he shouted. He got a wild yell and the wave of an arm for answer. It was Rubrli himself who pulled onto the trail beside him, checking the great black horse with a cruel Mexican bit that wrenched open tbe mouth of the stallion. "Welcome! Well seen, El Keed!" cried Rubrlz. "But take another way than this. The whole town Is on horseback. They've seen me and they're chasing me. Some dog of a spy has warned them that I'm north of the Rio Grande!" The shouted Mexican speech was music In the ears of Montana. It be added up the happiness of his life, halt of It, and the spicier half, he had found In the land of that tongue. Ha smiled as he answered, "They hunt me, Mateo!" "They hunt you? Then they hunt us both!" answered Rubris. HE turned In his saddle. Montana knew what the Mexican was seeing the first riders out of Ben tonville, lashing or spurring their horses, riding a race with the wicked Joy of the man-hunt maddening their hearts. "They are coming like ten thou sand devils!" shouted Rubrlz, turning front again. "San Juan of Caplstrano, lame their horses, throw sand In their eyes. Hal, Montana! We ride our first trail together. They can never catch us. Not this black and not the mare but I have a poor friend down the trail a few miles with only a mule to carry blm. No horse would have the patience to carry the bulk of him. Look there! there! See him lumbering the miile, flopping his elbows!'1 Far In the distance Montana saw a figure that waa huge even when it was tar away a long-robed friar on a Jogging mule. The arms of the man flopped like clipped wings; his head vss bare to that powerful sun. There was only a glimpse before a turn of the trail snatched the figure trora view. The friar had In fact halted his mule, which turned sldewlse as the rider stared behind him at the two fugltlvea and that rising dust-cloud from under which the horses of the men from Bentonvllle were darting. "Snve yourself, thick-skull! Help yourself out of the way, half-wit!" shouted Rubrlz, angrily. The man was much too far awa; to hear, but, as though he knew the meaning of Rubrlz, he stared first into the depth of the gorge thai fenced the trail on one side and then looked helplessly up the steep slopi of the hill which was littered with a vast strewing of boulders, big and small. Another bend of the trail shut out the view of the friar, but when h waa seen again, he had dismounted from the mule, which was plcklni at grass beside the trail, while thi master clambered actively over th rocky Junk-heap of tbe slope, look lng too big to he human, against thi sky. "That's the best way tor him,' said Rubrlz. "What's he at, nowl Run on, fool! Run on and save youi hide!" For the friar wns seen heaving al the boulders on the slope. There hi labored as Rubrlz and Montani went by, the Mexican rising In hit stirrups to screech: "Run, brother! Pascual, run for your life!" For answer, a stentorian shout rolled down the hill, and Montani had sight of a flashing smile and i brown-black faco. Then, bending t( his work again, the friar toppled t boulder of several hundredweight It swayed; It staggered. It began ti hop down the bill with Increaslni bounds, and wherever It struck li loosened a mass of other huge rorki nntll the hillside became alive. Thi thunder of the rocks quite shut oui the hoofbeats of the posse. (Copyright, t9$i. Harper 4 Brothers.
