Warren Bovey of the Nebraska penitentiary geve the 200 rebels who were staging a strike at the prison two minutes to get back in their cells and then gave orders to a dozen state troopers to "shoot on sight”. That ended it and we wonder why similar methods are not used in other prisons when they have fought tor days. They are bad actors to begin with and certainly do not deserve much sympathy when they start actions similar to those in Nebraska. 0 o Several years ago the department of economics at Indiana university made a survey to determine what factor induced people to come to small cities and towns to do their shopping. It was discovered that the principal attraction was a good movie theater. The importance of a theater to a community is becoming more and more apparent, when due to lack of business theaters are forced to close. Several months ago when the theater in Hagerstown closed, a prominent industry in that town, took over its operation and underwrote the costs. Just recently, due to poor business, the theater in Bicknell, Ind. a town of 5,000 population was forced to close. The business men of that city formed a co-operative association and have re-opened the theater. They realized that withotu a theater the community becomes a ghost-town and potential buyers go elsewhere tor their entertainment and shopping. A town without a theater is shunned by new industry that is seeking a location, real-estate values .decline, and retail business falls off. It looks like the professors at Indiana U. knew what they were talking about

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX CALDER glared at him out of pam-dulled eyes. “You’d sell your own brother. You going to turn me out without a root to my head, when I’m hurt?” “If they’d got you in your gunarm,” Cameron retorted grimly, “I ought have finished you off myself an* called it good riddance. But tong as it’s just your left, I still got a use for you once you get back in shape. You can hide out in Lita’s cabin. She’ll take care of you.” Calder had assented to that, still smarting from Cameron’s tonguelashing—but the idea of being taken care of by Lita had its attractions. She’d made no narticular demur at taking him in when Cameron asked her,., and she’d done a good enough job of making him comfortable. By evening, propped up on pillows with some of Corny’s whiskey inside him to ease the ache of his shoulder, he was feeling well enough to look around him and crave amusement. Lita was curled up in a splitbottomed chair, one leg tucked under her, the other swinging temptingly beneath the skimpy skirt. The lamp on the table behind her threw Its yellow glow over her face and scooped deep shadows over her body. Calder had never paid too much attention to her in the past—she'd been definitely Cameron’s girl. But now the green eyes appraised her to the lamp light. She was an appetizing little piece! She wasn't Margie, but Margie was a long way away, and Lita was very much at hand. After what he’d been through, a man needed a little tun —and he didn’t awe Wayne Camcron any loyalty, after the way he’d turned on him. Serve him right if Calder cut the ground out from under his feet! A smile spread over the scar-twisted mouth as he called softly, “Lita, come over here.” She crossed the room slowly, hips swinging to her Uzy walk in s way that fired Calder’s blood. “What you want, Lon?” “Just a little company. Sit down and talk to me." She settled herself comfortably on the edge Os the bed. He let her feel the force of his pleased, intimate glance. “You’re a good-looking woman, Lita!” She smiled at him. “Think so ?” “Yoe don’t need tne to tell you, do you?”

“Mebbe not. It’s nice to near.” She swayed tantalizingly back from him. “Don’t stay so far away.” He reached out his good arm, and she let herself be circled and drawn toward him. He kissed her. “Quit it Lon!” she said. “Why, don’t you like me?" “Sure, 1 like you. But not that way " “Go on, Lita.” His voice dropped to a practiced, caressing note. "You’re not spun sugar. You’re all woman—too much to be scared of letting a man love you!” She moved away from the bed, lifting a round, bare arm to pat her tumbled hair. “I’m not scared —if it’s the right man." Her casualness was like a slap across the face. “Wayne’s the right man, I guess?” “You know 'bout Wayne an’ me,” the girl retorted indifferently. "Yeah, I know. LJuiow all about It.” He made his voice regretful. "Hate to see a woman like you made a tool ot, Lita.” "Who’s makin’ a fool o' me?” "Why, Wayne Cameron, of course. You think he’s going to marry you?” — “He is." •‘Just waiting till he gets his hands on Broken Spur?” "Sure.” “And then he’s going to make a fine iady out of you—put you in a big house, string you with dia» monds —Why, you poor little foots he’s just stringing you along tin you’ve pulled his chestnuts out of the fire! Mr. Cameron’s a business man. When he marries, he aims to make a profit on the deal—a big profit —like Slash T—" ' He wasn’t prepared for the effect of his words. She flew at him, eyes blazing, fingers clawed. “You’re lyin’! You kndw you’re lyin’—say you arc!”. He caught her wrists frith his good hand, "You Know I’m not lying, Lita! Why, you think a man that was really in love with you would have thrown you at Riordan and Larrabee the way he’s done? I wouldn't," he insinuated. "If you were mine, I wouldn’t let any other man get near you. But Wayne’s a cold fish—he doesn't know how to appreciate a woman like you.” She twisted out of Ills grip. He lay back on the pillows with an inward smile of satisfaction, as she flung herself up and down the room in furv. He'd fixed lus naxt-

ners wagon, aa nghL And when she’d worked off her tantrum, she’d be all the readier for another man who wanted her. He knew Lita s kind of woman. Or he thought he did. Lita believed his story, because ir the bottom of her heart she’d known, for a long time, how slim her hold on Cameron was, but she’d refused to believe her instincts. Cameron was important to her as no other man had ever been. She whirled toward the man on the bed. “Lon, I’m takin’ your horse. 1 gotta make a ride, and 1 won't ride that ol’ crowbait o’ Pap’s.” “Where you going this time ol night ?” An uneasy sense that he’d set more in motion than he’d bargained tor put its chill into the gambler’s blood. "Wouldn't you like t’know?” she taunted him. "Well, why shouldn't 1 tell you? You’re in no shape t’ stop me. I’m goin’t’ Broken Spur t’ have a little talk with Rob Mal1 lory!” „ • • • It seemed strange to Kerry to be ’ lying quietly m his own bed at 1 Broken Spur again. His eyes, following Christie around the room, held a hew gravity.

He ought to rest, “AU right, Christie." Rob dropped into a chair by the bed. Silence lay neavy oetween them, and Kerry didn’t Know now to break tt. At last ne spoke hesitantly. “I know how you must teel about Sandy, Rob. They—they didn’t come any better." “They didn't.’ "I’ve got a notion," Kerry said slowly, ‘that this is the way he'd nave liked to go, if he’d had his say—standing up for Broken Spur, the way nr always did." “You could be right." Rob gazed down at ms locked nands. “I keep thinking about something 1 wanted to say to him once. 1 never did. i. wish now I nad.” Lt was the first time in his remembrance that Kerry had ever heard Rob express regret tor anything. He didn’t Know now to answer, in words. Almost timidly, ne reached out to touch one of the brown nands that lay clasped on Rob’s knee. Lt closed hard over ms, and they sat like that in silence tor a moment. Then Rob stood up. “Muchacho* he said huskily, “that day 1 stumbled across you was the luckiest day 1 ever lived. If 1 ever said any different—or if 1 ever do again—don’t believe it!” Rob sat alone in the living room aftet Christie, exhausted, nad gone home to bed. He was tired himself —in his own mind ne acknowledged that a man of ms age couldn’t take nights like the last one the way he had twenty years ago—but a barrier was down oetween him and his boy, and for all it nad cost him, or was dkely to, Rob was feeling that life could be good. There was a knock at the door. None of ms crew would knock. And any outsider these days probably spelled trouble. Rousing himself, ne went co open up. Whatever ne’d expected, tt wasn't Lita Dawson. The girl, with her nair whipped around ner by the wine of her riding." ner eyes dark and wild-looking, her breast swelling and falling with her rapid breathing, was e handsome baggage—no wonder She’d caused so much trouble.

Inside the living-room, she took time to smooth ner dishevelled hair, ner eyes darting around her, taking in the spaciousness and rugged comfort of the room, shooting quick speculative glances under her lashes at Rob. As well as it she had spoken, ne could read the thoughts in that busy little brain. “This information of yours—l suppose there'd be i price on it?" Her eyes widened. "How rnuch'd it be worth t’ you?” “Depends on now much use I can make of it” Then, too Impatient for bargaining, he rapped out, “I’ll give you five hundred dollars.” —— , The brown eyes opened wider still.
