Astounding figures concerning causes of fatal traffic accidents reveal that in nearly one-fourth of all fetal traffic accidents either the driver or pedestrian have been drinking. There are two alternatives to cut this figure down. Either Stop driving or stop drinking! 0 0 s In the last ten years, according to figures compiled by the Indiana Taxpayers Association, property taxes in Indiana have in- _ creased twice as fast as the taxable property on which the rates are based.

SYNOPSIS A quarrel with nls girl. Christie Toland, had sent Kerry Riol dan from die Broken Spur ranch into town on a spree that had lasted tor daya and brought him back to the ranch minus funds and m debt. To face 'the music" with nls tough, but generous benefactot Robb Mallory, who denounces him roundly as a fool pointing out to nlm that the earthy tittle nester girl. Lita Dswson. with whom he. Kerry, had been consorting, is "poison." CHAPTER THREE KERRY and Christie had quarrelled, otten and stormily. More than once he’d ridden away from Slash T swearing m his own mind that he’d never come back. There’d always been plenty of women, who either for the sake of his blue eyes and reckless grin or because he’d some day be the boss of Broken Spur, had been ready to help him forget Christie. Only it couldn’t be done. The feel of her eyes was always deep inside him, taking the taste out of other women’s kisses. Sooner or later he’d always been the one to give in. Never once had she put out the first hand. lint time, though, the quarrel had gone deeper. He’d been urging ner to marry him, and she’d demanded that be prove ne could amount to something first. His cheeks burned as he remembered the things she’d said about him. Some ot them might have been justified, but they hadn't cut any the less for that, And the rankling hurt tc his man’s pride had made him resolve savagely that this time she’d be the one to climb down. As be rode toward her, ne kept asking himself if he shouldn't have waited tor some other definite sign from her. But the nearer he came to tier, the more surely he felt that he wanted her. He came in sight of the ranchhouse ” Yes, there was Christie tn the hammock. His eyes caught the gleam of the sunKght on ner hair. And she wasn’t in her working clothes. She had on a blue dress, the color of the one she’d wom to the dance that night. * The eagerness that had put spurs to his horse met a sudden check as he saw that she wasn't alone. There Was a man with her, • stranger. He slowed his horse to a walk. When he reached the steps and lighted, she came forward to meet him. "Hello, Kerry. Come up and sit down.” Her voice was welcoming —as It would have been for any visitor. But he felt her eyes taking tn the good clothes he’d put on to come visiting in, and the look 1 v ■. <■ Cooy right. 1834. . ■ \

in them made him wish he were wearing levis and a flannel shirt. "Wayne, I’d like you to meet another one of your neighbors. Kerry Riordan. Kerry, this is Wayne Cameron. He’s just bought Double Diamond.* — Kerry looked at the stranger with surprise and quick curiosity. Double Diamond was a scrubby little patch of range that was more rocks than grass. An eccentric old codger named Lute Marble had run a few bony cows there, making just enough to keep him in grub and whisky. When the old man had died without heirs a year or so ago, it had been taken for granted his place would be left to the gophers and coyotes. Kerry hadn’t heard anything of its being sold, and he wondered what sort of greenhorn had been bamboozled into laying out money for the worthless spread. As he looked at the new owner, he wondered still more. . Wayne Cameron didn't look like a greenhorn, or like a man who'd be apt to buy. a lame horse. He might be about thirty, tall and spare, with saddle-muscles on his rawboned frame, and a horseman's stance. He had sandy hair and fair skin burned red over his high cheek-bones. He was good-looking, in a lean, angular fashion, and his smile as he shook Kerry's offered hand was pleasant, except that it ■ didn't ’ seem to touch his eyes, i Those eyes were a light grey, like skim-ice on a pond In winter, and : they were, it struck Kerry sudden- > ly, the hardest, coldest eyes he’d i ever seen. s They all sat down, and Cameron 1 asked easily, "What’s your outfit, Riordan ?” “Broken Spur,” Kerry answered, i and saw-a flame of interest kindle s in the ice-grey eyes. “You work for Mallory?” i “Not exactly," Kerry replied , with a wry grin. At Cameron’s in- > quiring lift of eyebrows, he explained. “My folks both died on t the way to California when X was i just a little kid—my mother not t far from here. We’d got separated , from the wagon-train we were with Rob happened to be the first ■ one who came by and found me. 1 He brought me home with him tin t he could send me back where I > belonged. Only I didn’t have anyL body for him to send me back to, ; so I'm still here." r “I’Ve bean heatin' about Rob • Mallory most Os my life," Cameron 1 observed. “He must be quite a : man.” by Nick Sumner.

Wilson May Modify News Dimout Order Controversial Order May Be Modified WASHINGTON UNS) — The Pentagon’s latest explanation of its public information policy raised speculation today that defense secretary Charles E. Wilson may modify his controversial news “dimout” order. Last March 29, in an effort to stop the flow of security "leaks" from the military, Wilson issued orders that all news releases must be "constructvie. ” But assistant defense secretary (Robert T. Ross has now ruled that inquiries from’ reporters will be answered by the Pentagon regardless of whether the replies are considered “useful." Officials agreed that it would be difficult to distinguish betweet the meaning of “constructive” and “useful” and that the two wolds have been used interchangeably by the Pentagon’s information division itself. It was believed that only by modifying or clarifying his original directives can Wilson straighten out the whole problem. If you nave sometntng to sell oi rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
"He is," Kerry agreed. You could say that with more meanings than one: anyway, his feelings about Rob were no business of this coldeyed stranger. —- “I’d like to meet him." "Ycu’re Hkeiy to, ts you stick around?’ “1 intend tc stick around," Cameron said. “I’ve got a stake here now." “Sure. I wish you luck with It,” Kerry said politely. “Thanks," Cameron replied. “But 1 figure a man mostly makes his own luck." That's right,” Christie seconded. “What's the use ot a man having all the chances tn the world numf iu tn his lap unless he’s got the gumption to do something about it?” So she wasn’t through trying tp baze him onto the straight and narrow path! She’d pick up this stranger’s words just aq, an excuse to rawhide him. Devils danced In Kerry’s blue eyes as he drawled, "All depends, Christie. Suppose the chances that are dumped m his lap arene chances at anything ne wants—just something somebody else thinks he ought to want?” “That’s a point of view," Cameron put in smoothly. "Anyway, thanks tor agreein’ with me, Christie." People in this country didn't stand on formalities of speech, but Kerry found himself unreasonably riled by Cameron’s easy use of Christie’s first name. His feeling that he wasn’t going to like this sandy-haired stranger began tc harden into conviction as Cameron went on. "Now I’ve drifted around considerable. I figure a man should see the whole lay-out before he , starts to grow roots. You might : sav I haven’t got much to show for all those years of driftin’. But they helped me get clear in my I mind what It was I wanted. Now I’m ready to settle down and build • up somethin’ that’ll last That’s i why I staked out here. It looks tc i me like a good country for a man . to grow in.” I “You haven’t cut yourself off-s : very likely chunk of It,” Kerry obt served. Cameron turned coolly considerI Ing Ayes Oh him, smiled ah Undis I turbed acknowledgment “It might • look that way.
