OBSTRUCTION of the neck of the bladder is fairly common in middle-aged women. If taken care of promptly, the condition ran be lelievecj rather simply; unfortunately. many women neglect it until a great deal of damage has been ( done through a bacW-flow of urine into the kidney. y Women may have a retention ol urine at any age after 20 years, 7 but it is more common in those between 5 the ages of 30 and GO 7 ears. ; nA definite cause of this condition has been found. However., 'long-standing infection may produce a narrowing of the opening between the bladder and the outside. Gonorrhea, bladder tumors, tumors of the womb and hernia cf the bladder may also cause* urine retention. Patients with this disorder complain chiefly of frequency of urinat’on, with pain and burning. They often wake up several times during the night td urinate.. There may be loss of control of the .bladder. bleeding, and sudden, stoppage/ of all urine flow unfTT re- ■ / ■ ' V ' '■ ''

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE TONTO realized that Baldy's di\inks were of prime importance to the old man. He’d do anything for a . drink and he might have, in his dim mental processes, decided that the surest way to one right now was to lie to Tonto. There was always that chance, but there was equally the chance that Baldy had actually seen or heard of something vital to Tonto’s purpose. “I’ll get you a drink," Tonto said. Baldy started to shuffle off but Tonto checked him. "But you've got to tell me about Rick, savvy ?” “Sure, sure. Baldy can tell you.” 1 A The old man kept two or three steps ahead of Tonto all the way to the Goldep. Tonto didn’t like to take-the old taan there, but it was the Only place in AVrillo where he could buy him a drink. By the time Tonto had come into the big room, Baldy clung "avidly to the bar, eyes glittering. Pete stood opposite Baldy, head turned to the batwings. At Tonto’s nod_ he set two full glasses on the bar. Tonto had to be quick to foil Baddy’s swift, taloned fingers. He picked up both glasses. “We’ll drink at a table." Baldy licked his lips and followed Tonto to a table some distance from the bar. Tonto still held Baldy’s drink. "Remember what you promised?” he demanded. Baldy nodded and Tonto gave him the drink. Baldy sighed in full content. "All right, what about Rick Staples?" Tonto said. He closely watched Pete at the far end of the room. .. y “He promised me a d.-ink —” “He’s dead," Tonto cut in. “Shot. Remember?” “Sure. |Je’s shot. Him and her was crazy. Everyone said so. Ol’ Baldy heard ’em say so, and there ain’t much OF Baldy misses. He tells his friends." He stopped short and peered at the drink Tonto hadn’t touched. ' \ “Xou tell me what ypu know,” Tonto insisted. I > “Baldy needs a drink, friend,” the old man said. Tonto swore under his breath and let him have the second glass. Baldy leaned forward and looked carefully around him. Tonto felt himself tighten. “Owen Bradley is a mean man,” Baldy said. “Owen Bradley fools a lot of people but he don’t fool Baldy none. He treats Baldy nice when folks are around. But ne cusses him and kicks him when

people ain’t looking. You watch out for Owen Bradley. You watch out for him.” \ Tonto leaned back and considered the old man. He evidently knew something, although it was sadly mixed up In his tired old brain with other shreds of meaningless information. He had obviously meant Rick Staples and Ruby by “him and her." He might have picked up the gossip of the town or he might be remembering something that he himself had seen. The sidelight on Owen Bradley was interesting but not to the point. Tonto realized that the old man would ramble from one subject to anothef* like a locoed dogie, and there could be no,, help for it, It was simply a case of waiting for the right information to come along. Tonto decided to question him a little further in hope that the information would borne out. Baldy suddenly chuckled, lifted a long and dirty finger, wagged it roguishly at Tonto. “You're crazy, too. Ol’ Baldy knows. You’re heading for bad, pad trouble —woman trouble." Tonto couldn’t help the way his eyes rou n dWd. “Wha Vdo you mean?" ‘ “Ol’ Baldy don’t miss hothing. He seen you and her. He heard about you and her the other time, too, but he didn’t see.jit. This time he did." He paused and his face clouded. “O we n, Brad 1 e y is a mighty mean man.” J . The batwing whispered and Tonto looked up. Bart Overby stopped when he saw the two at the table. He looked at Baldy, grinned in understanding at Tonto. “Looks like he’s got you corralled.?’ Tonto realized, with a sickening feeling, that Bart.Overby was trying to remove the sting of the threat he had previously made. Baldy looked jovirlishly ov e r his shoulder and Tonto was certain he would say the wrong thing. 6verby pulled out a chair. , “Drink, Bart?" Tonto said hastily. Baldy licked his lips and Tonto cut in before he could say a word. “Sure, one for you. Old Timer.” “I wouldn’t give him too many,” Overby said judiciously. “They do him no good and then he tries to bum off you all the timg." / “One more won't hurt. Peter* Tonto talked aimlessly about Avriilo, the ranches. Bart listened amiably for awhile and then Jie

looked sharply, from Tonto to Baldy. Tonto realized that he had 'talked too fast, obviously rattled. He stopped short when Pete brought the drinks. Baldy grabbed his. Tonto lifted his glass. \ “To your health, Bart." "To my luck, instead,” Bart grinned and downed it. Baldy wiped his whiskers, chuckled. “He's fooling with women,” he said suddenly and pointed his finger at Tonto. “I told him it’s mean trouble. Baldy’s always right, ain’t he, Bart?" , I \ ■ Bart looked from Tonto to the old man, who still chuckled. His finger wagged in reproof. "He messes with women, Bart, and’ he ain’t gonna like what will happen. 1 tell him honest and straight. He’s my friend.” “What do you mean ?*’ Bart said sharply. / “Sometimes,” Tonto directly met Bart’s eyes, “a man don’t like what he hears. Sometimes a fool blabs a heap of things that he can’t get straightened out in his own mind. , So it comes crooked.” Baldy chuckled. “Twice I seen ; him with her. Once at her house. Bart, you tell him he’s gotta stop messing if he don’t want trouble." “I will,” Bart said quietly. “I’ve already done it.” | “But not enough.” Baldy lifted a dirty finger. “Not near enough. Just today he come riding in with . her." -‘Y . I Tonto shrugged. “Now you know.” ■* “Ruby?” Bart said and pushed away from the table. Baldy looked around in sudden fright, sensing the anger that flowed out from Bart like something tangible. Tonto placed his hands flat on the table and arose, slowly and reluctantly. “Ruby?” Bart said. “We \ met out beyond town and came in together and our trails parted at her front gate. That’s the way it was, Bart. I said that maybe you wouldn’t like it” “I don’t.” , Bart lifted his hands and looked I at them,, then down at Baldy. Suddenly his right doubled into a fist 1 and he’ pivoted on one heel, putting the full weight of his body behind the punch. Tonto only had » time to move ate bead slightly. .Bart’s fist thudded into the side of his jaw and Tonto felt himself sailing backward.. He hit the bar with & jarring shock. , \ \ I “Hey!” Pete yelled. 1 , ' (To Be Continued/

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO \ TONTO instinctively grabbed for the bar edge as he fell and he hung there a moment Everything wiped out in a dizzy haze. His fingers slipped and be thudded down on the rail then onto the floor. Baldy stared at him, then suddenly darted from the table and outside. Tonto looked up. Bart Overby stood a few feet away blowing on the knuckles of his right hand. His eyes glittered but there was no other expression on his face. A - backdoor opened. Gilpin and Owen Bradley hurried into the room and pulled up short. In a detached way, Tonto noticed the sudden change of expression on Bradley’s face. The attorney looked from Tonto to Bart, back to

Tonto again. He licked his Ups. Gilpin’s brows arched. Tonto cou’i . see everything clearly but he stiU felt strangely apart from his body, almost as though he could look down upon himself. Then the lethargy left him and Tonto came to his feet. _ , ■ '•There was no call for that,” he said, his voice still alittle thick. ‘T warned you one e,” Bart snapped. "I told you what would happen if you started sneaking—” Tonto didn’t let him finish. He came away from the bar and Bart managed to ward off his punch. The implication that he had “sneaked” \ to see Ruby angered Tonto, but it was a cold anger that gave him precise control of every movement < \ Bart gave ground, landed two thudding Jabs to Tonto’s ribs that checked his rush and gave Bart a chance to get his balance. Owen Bradley stepped forward to interfere, but Gilpin pulled him back. "Let ’em,” he said shortly, and Pete quietly put the bung starter away under the bar. Tonto bored in. £art circled, warily, eyes slitted. Tonto saw an opening and planted his fist squarely in Bart’s face. The gambler grunted and blood trickled from his nose. He gave more ground, covering himself against the rattlipg blows that beat on his ribs. Tonto slugged Bart’s stomach. The man doubled up, then went into a tight clinch. ■ Tonto savagely tried to jerk himself loose and finish the job. But Bart hung on, a dead weight that tended to pull Tonto down. He held his elbows close to his sides, buried his head against Tonto’s chest, fajrly well protected from the fists that pistoned glancing blows. At j last Bart recovered his breath. It seemed an eternity while each stood up to the other's punishment, 1

thougn it was in reality only a matter of minutes. Bart’s fist shook Tonto’s head and it felt as though every tooth in his jaw had come loose. Another blow caught him tn the eye and everything disappeared for a split second in a burst of rockets. J' ..01 Tonto felt Bart’s foot behind his leg and then he trippbdi Both of them hit the floor, Bart on top. Tonto jerked his head aside and Bart smashed his knuckles ifito the hard floor. Tonto arched- hi# body high, flung himself to one side. Bart went rolling and Tonto came up on his hands and ksees. He came to his feet before Bart could recover. Bart showed punishment now and his { b ea t h wrenched from his swollen lips in tearing gasps.

j Tonto waited while Bart came ( to his feet. One of Bart’s hands moved to a hip pocket, tonto ! caught a glint of metal. Gilpin ' shouted, “Derringer!” and Tonto ' threw himself forward as la gun roared behind him.. The slug snipped the air close to his side and Overby flinched away; Then Gilpin cut in front of Tonto. He slapped the gun barrel against Overby’s head and the man went down in a tumbling heap, the ‘ little derringer across the floor and under one of'the-tables. Gilpin stood looking down at Overby, the heavy Colt dangling from his hand. Tonto swayed, uncertainly, moved back against the bar. ‘That was close/ Gilpin said at last. He bolstered his j gun, bent down and examined Overby. “Out for awhile, I reckon, pete, you’d better take him to the Office.” Owen Bradley sank down in a chair, pudgy face white and drawn. ’ His eyes were locked on; Gilpin and he seemed hardly awgre of the others. He made a vague gesture with his hands. •Terrible!” he croaked at last. "I never knew—”

“Get hold of yourself, O. w en,” G|lpin said. He placed his Hand on th»e man's shoulder and Bradley flinched.

Nothing more.”’ “I heard a shot,” Vic Stated heavily. Gilpin lifted his gun from the; holster and extended it blitt foremost. He looked regretful. ! “I did that. 1 reckon Bart forgot himself and pulled a derringer. I ( tried to stop him but I’m. not a very good shot. I had to use the gun barrel.” : ' ; 1 Ellers looked at the gun and then suddenly knelt down beside Pete. He examined Overby, sighed | with relief, and cuffed his hat to, the back of his head. He looked up at Tonto. “Who started it?” he demanded. Totito shook his head, bruised lips :

tightening. "Bart did,” Gilpin answered helpfully. [ “What about?” “That,” Tonto said with difficulty, "is my business, I reckon — and Bart’s. We settled it. There's nothing more.” Ellers slowly straightened. “Overby started the fight. He tried to use a gun. You can prefer charges, Tonto." "Let it ride," Tonto answered wearily. “If I’d beoiFGart, 1 might have started something, too. You can’t blame the man and the aug-, erment’s finished. I could use that slug, Gilpin." “Right now!" Gilpin nodded briefly to Pe it e, who picked up Overby, got a better grip on the.limp body and moved off to the office with a heavy, thudding stride. Bradley shivered and then gained control' of himself. He came to the bar. “One for me. Ad,” he said in a weak voice. Gilpih poured drinks all ground. Gilpin circled the bar again and took Tonto’s arm. “We’d better do. what we* can to tha* face."
