Oldest Operative Procedure
PERHAPS the only operation practiced both by semi-civilized tribes and the best-informed doctors is circumcision. Certainly, it is the, oldest operation of which we have record. \ dating back loti-’ pjefore scriptural times to at least 50(A> years B.C. And still today it is considered sb well worth while that most male babies are circumcised before leaving the hospital where they are born. Os course, there are certain considerations which may make it wise, to postpone this procedure For example, if the baby is pre mature or feeble, the operation Should not be ' carried out until he is strong enough to withstand it. H the child shows signs of jaun~dlce at birth, it is well to postpone , circumcision, especially if |here is some form of hfetnorrhagic dis■f ease present, since icircumcision at such a time .might' prove disastrous. \ I Hemophilia. a condition? in | 1 which there is a disturbance in the clotting mechanism of the blood, is another reason for postponing circumcision, and the infant should be tested to deter mine whether or not hemophilia , is present before the operation is* ‘ attempted.

SYNOPSIS i Believing that hie reckless young eon, Kick, had been nfurdered by Burt Overby, a nephew and a local gambler, the late Grant Staples had willed his vast Slash-8 ranch in New Mexico, to a stranger. Tuhto Riley, wandering c<fw hand and son of Grant's long trusted friend, frill inherit the Staples estateproviding he J can bring to justice Rick s slayer, something which the law seemed unable to do.\ Exotic Ruby Sevier, hostess at the Golden Saloon, might have been motive for this murder. She was Bart Overby’s ’’girt’’ and (tick, although engaged to Lois King, a wealthy rancher's daughter, had been secretly dating Ruby. Should Tonto Riley die. Overby, as next of Min, would get the Staples fortune. Summoned by lawyer Owen Bradley, Tonto gallops into the cow town of Avrillo, N. M'.. to begin pursuit of his quary; \ At The G Jden he meets Ruby, and Overby, and Ms foxy little owner, Ad Gilpin , All of them: had tried to be so friendly, - that as RMey rides forth to inspect his land, he wonders just what’s their game. 'CHAPTER NINE THE SLASH S ranch house was a long, i lt»w structure that rambled into erratic wings. It had obviously been enlarged time and again through the years with no set plan in mind. Grant Staples had followed onlyrneed and impulse. But the result Was pleasant and the house looked livable and comfortable. . There was a large expanse of flower beds, straggly and unkempt now. A gravel pat|h led to a yard gate that opened out onto the big working area of the ranch. Just "clear of the trees stood an immense barn, solid and enduring, full symbol of the wealth of the Slash S. Not far from the yard gate was the bunkhouse, a long structure that could easily hold forty men or more. The cookshack was of equal size. The Work corral was wide and spacious. The two men drew rein before the corral gate and slipped out of
paddles. At that moment a hay wagon rounded the barn and several men appeared -in. the wide doors. They saws Tex and the stranger and they stared at them. A big man stepped from the group and came striding toward Tonto. His blocky face was dark and deeply tanned, blackened . around the jowls by a wiry stubble. His nose had been straight but there wgs a break in the thick cartilage or the ridge, and this threw his whole face askew. He had steel gray eyes. Ken Frick was a direct man, and a hard one, capable? of many things but unthinking, never seeing too far ahead. He stopped a few feet away and his harsh voice sounded like the blow of a hammer. “Look here, Tex, you’ve left youir job!”\ . ! “It’s done/’ TeX said shortly but Frick hardly heard him. He stared at Tonto. “Who the devil are you?” he de-' manded. "This is private property and we ain’t hiring none. Better rattle your hocks back the way you come.’’ j. Tonto checked an impulse to bark back, instead he Smiled. “Owen Bradley sent me out. I’m Tonto Ri«?y.” ’ / .. H - 1 “What; s'Owen got, in his craw? You—Oh, Riley!” Light dawned in Copyrubt. 1950.

Frick’s hard eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he wiped his hand on his jeans and extended it. "Sure, Owen said you’d be along any time. Didn't expect you so soon. I’m Frick, the segundo.” He accented the last word almost as a challenge. Tonto caught the aggressive note but ignored it. Frick snapped orders to Tex to takg care of Star.’ He turned and bawled further orders back to !the barn and the men slowly resumed their work. "You’ll want to get to the ’ house,” Frick turned to Tonto. "Better get the trail dust off. ' Cooky’ll hit the triangle before Very long and we don’t loaf rnych on meals.” ' . \ Tonto spoke \ casually as he walked beside Frick to the house; "We’ll have supper early tonight, Frick. I want to meet the boys." "We’re haying,” Frick snapped. "Early,” Tonto repeated easily. He saw Frick’s mouth pull down. "I mean it.” x Frick said nothing and Tonto fe.lt a flash of irritation at himself. He had the feeling he had muffed the insignificant incident and started off badly with Frick. The man had bben his own boss for months and it would be hard to start taking orders again, doubly hard for a man of Frick’s temperament. 1 They entered the house from the rear, into a large and sunny kitchen. A big wood range glowered blackly at them against the far wall. A door gave onto a spacious living room with a big stone fireplace at one end. The ceiling was trussed high, the walls decorated with Navajo rugs arid a couple of bearskins, a picture here and there.
Tonto walked slowly to the fireplace while Frick waited at the door. Tonto turned,! looking up at the ceiling and aropnd the room. “Any Orders?” Frick said sharply. “None. You’re in charge. I just want to see the boys when they come in.” : “Then I’ll be getting along to the haying,” Tonto nodded and Frick disappeared through the kitchen doorway. Then the outer door closed and hewap alone in Grant Staples’ home. For a time he stood spreadlegged before the cold, black' fireplace. He stood passive, receptive, letting the silerft room tell its own story, The house had been' shut up for months and the air was heavy? as though the spirit of Grant Staples still brooded over the plabe. Hate had festered here during the two years since Rick’s death. One of t|ie pictures on the' wall was of a man in hip early fifties, thin and square jawed. Tonto stepped closer. r ?he man held a stiff pose and a fierce gaze, lower lip forced outward as it pressed against the,upper, dark eyes glittering, forehead high’ and frowning, the thin, brown ’hair greased by Lee E'.

- down tight against the skull s Tonto studied the picture, glanced ;. across the room at the other and ; instantly saw the resemblance. ■ 3 It was of a young man just about twenty. He held the same • stiff photographer’s poke but it t was not so tense and withdrawn as the older man’s. The lad had 3 the same square jaw and dark I eyes, the high forehead and brown e hair. Tonto looked from one to 1 the other. Grant Staples and hla son, Rick. " Rick’s eyes held a barely sup- '• pressed devil-may-care gleam. The ’• lips held the shadow of a smile e though the young man had obvi--1 ously tried to look as fierce as possible. Tonto moved across the e room and opened a closed door. He • looked down a hall that led to » three bedrooms that he examined one by one. The room at the rear • overlooked the entrance to the • L?.rn and the corrals and had evi- • dently been Grant’s. It was bare and austere, like a monk’s. ’ x Tonto closed the door and ’ walked back to the big main room. 1 Beyond the fireplace was another closed door and he opened it. This ’ was ’ i tl\e ranch office, a- small, 3 square room. There was a rolltop deSk\and a worn swivel chair? Box r files and heavy bound ledgers filled three long shelves On the wall just 1 above the desk. The desk was or- ’ dcrly and neat, everything pre- ' cisely to hand. To the left, just • under the lower tier of drawers, ’ wgy a black - book. Tonto idly ’ opened it. \ j, Xf i Grant Staples had used it as a ’ reminder book. In precise, squareformed script he had .noted the ' Iwork to be r done op the ranch, ' memos to visit the bank, to buy ■ equipment and supplies, the meager ■ social engagements. As each had been fulfilled he had drawn a 1 single, light line through the script and carefully checked it off. The - first date was some ihree years before. ; ‘ “ Tonto idly thumbed through it, ’ reading here and there, getting Tils first glimpse bf the flow of Slash S business and life- through this little office. He turned back toward the 1 front, suddenly stopped, attention caught by an entry. "Bee Roy King about Rick and Lois.” It had been duly lined and 1 checked. Tonto frowned at the entry, read more carefully. On the next page was another. “Talk to Rick about marriage plahs,” also lined and checked. Tonto moved his hand slowly down has jaw. Here was a new bit of information about Rick that might lead to something. He lifted his head when he heard voices Outside, looked through the window and saw that the crew had cbme in. Dust rose high above the corral as the punches pulled their horses to a halt and dismounted. Tonto closed the book and pulled the top down over the desk. (To Be Continued) r tuarn Syndicate

He pulled open the screen and stepped into a silent room. At least twenty men Sat at the long tables, every pair oi eyes centered on him. Ken Frick rose and came to Tonto’s side. jj “Boys, meet Tonto Riley. I reckon he’s the boss from now on.” Tonto smiled, lifted his hand ip a friendly salute. “You know about mi, I reckon, so not linucp need to jaw around.. Grant Staples knew now to run a ranch 30 there won’t be any changes. VVe’U keep on like it used to be. guess that’s all Jthere is to say xcept that yoti gents look like, a op-hand crew to me.” He pulled out a chair and sat flown at the table. Instantly the Silcnoe broke as mon pulled up to tihe tables. Knives and \forks clattered against tin plates. Talk was muted at first, but grew louder in the rough humor of the range. During the. course of the meal, Tonto had an opportunity to look over the mtn. Most of them were in their thirties with the exception of Tox Jonas and three grizzled flldsters who formed a little clique to themselves in a far corner. They Ipoked to be competent, loyal men and Tonto was. pleased. Then he accidently caught Ken Frick’s eyes upon him and It was flke a dash of cold water. Tonto read insolence in the man’s look. The man bided his time and waited only for an opportunity to revolt. Frick’s eyes slipped away and down to his plate. ‘ Tonto understood that a new man on a spread was tested before lie was fully accepted by the crew. No man was exempt though this tiesting was always an instinctive tiling, seldom recognized as such. Even the bosses and the owners fiaced some form of the trial, but it generally came from the men themselves and not from the Segundo, who was the direct representative of the owner. Frick's attitude puzzled Tonto and it had implications he didn't like. i At last Tonto finished, pushed His plate kway and rolled a cigarct. Some of the punchers left the table's, going outside, and Tonto knew that he was being discussed. i Frick arose and walked out. Tonto crushed his cigaret and followed the man. The sfegundo headed for the neat little cottage assigned to the foreman and Tonto ‘Jailed to him. 1

j ; ; l—“I’ll be riding over the spread in the morning,” Tonto said pleasantly. "You’d better show me around, Ken. You'll know who can handle the naymg crew. Frick made no' move and tils steel gray eyes locked with Tonto’s.' They skittered to the men who loafed near the cookshack, returned in a bold challenge. “You’d better do your own riding, Riley. I’m too busy to nursemaid you around.” Tonto heard the slight stir of the men behind him. One oi them had flipped a cigaret and it arched beyond Tonto,striking the barfly ground in a ‘shower of sparks.* Tonto recognized the challenge Frick had thrown down. He had sensed that it would come, back in the cookshack, but he hadn’t expected it so soon. Frick had demanded here andnow that Tonto prove his rigbfl as a man to govern the Slash s’, to command its men, to make demands of its segundo. Frick stood tall and compact in the waning sunlight, head lifted arrogantly? waiting. Tonto nbdded vCry slowly. “That’s it, Ken?" he said. Frick chuckled. ’ "That’s it. Tm too busy, Riley.” "You’d better drop that gunbelt. Ken. You’re riding with me tomorrow, or I’m heading back to Avrillo.” ? He heard the quick intake of .breath in the men behind hint Frick’s lips moved, slowly into a wide and triumphant grin. Hts hands left his hips and the fingers swiftly unbuckled the gun belt. He looped the belt around holster and gun. ' [ "Catch it, Utah,” he said to a puncher and swung it through the air in a long, lazy pitch. He faced Tonto, impassive and waiting. Tonto moved toward Frick and the segundo lifted his fists. The clenched fingers looked like bars on the end of a branding iron. Frick took a back step with his right foot, planting himself solidly for the attack. Tonto caine in closer and Frick suddenly swung at him, a powerful left hook. Tonto’s head jerked back a fraction of an inch and the knticklcs swept through air. J Instantly Tonto’s fist pistpned into the man’s exposed ribs and Frick grunted. Tex yelled but the older men remained “ silent and watchful. Frick moved to one side, blocked Tonto : s eross aimed at his head. They circled one another, wary. ■. ■ J , J _ Tonto stepped in, left jabbing upward. Frick parried and Tonto’s right slammed over the ! man’s heart. Frick moved in fast, head pulled low between his shoulders, his powerful arms thrusting short, sharp' blows that thudded hard intb Tonto’s stomach. . I .
