taken a girl seriously, but he'd'
known no girl like this one, coura-

he owed her a mountainous debt,
and he knew of no coin by which

thrown away a fine heritage. He
wondered If subsequent events had

sundown Hope returned, and he
ran eagerly to meet her as ah*
slipped from her saddle.
• “You’re tired,* he said. "Here,
come sit on a saddle blanket”
Smiling, she accepted the invi-
tation. "I think we can start for
Forlorn soon,” she reported.
‘Things are pretty quiet: about
the only riders who are out are
those who work for Alessandro's
ranch. You know, I think that

Chip. They’re a hardcase tot, those
riders of Alessandro's, with a hard-
case foreman, a fellow called Colo-
rado Jack Ives.”
Chip considered all this thought-
fully, then mustered his accumu-
lated arguments. "I might have
ridden away this afternoon and
said nothing," he remarked. “I
couldn’t do that to you, Hope. But
just the sante, I’m thinking you’d
better not come with us.”
She glanced at him sharply. “We
made a deal," she said.
"I know it," he countered so-
berly. “But things have changed.
Hope, all the sign says that Seton
Alessandro has taken personal
cards. Alessandro wants Stagin'
Sam dead because he's afraid that
Sam has gotten certain informa-
tion that Alessandro needs hushed.
I won’t tell you what it is: any-
body who possesses it is in danger
from Alessandro. But don’t you
see that if Alessandro's riders
spotted you with us, then Ales-
sandro would always be afraid
that Sam might have talked to
you. told you what he knew ?"
She whistled softly. "That does
make a difference," she agreed.
“Then you’ll stay here?"
"Ordinarily you two could get
tato Forlorn easily enough," she
said. "You’re fugitives and Clark

“1 promised to ask no ques-
tions,” Chip said slowly. "But

The night before last."
“Walt!" Chip cried and felt ex-
citement tingle along his sptne.
"You mean your father came tc
the schoolhouse the night of the
storm ?"
She nodded. "He left just before
I discovered you out in the yard."
"What did he have to say for
himself, mia*?’’ Stagin' Sam asked.
"Like Alessandro, he urged me
to go away. He claimed he could
never leave Forlorn Valley, and he
said he'd quit coming to see me
at the academy because he wanted
me to forget all about him. I was
young and free, he ppinted out,
and life held too much for me-r
far too much that I should be
penned up inside the valley. I
couldn’t shake him on that point.
I asked him why he’d enrolled me
as Hop* Brennan, and he said that
too many people had heard of
Clark Raybum, the leader of For-
lorn's outlaws, and he didn’t want
me saddled with such a name."
She sighed. ‘That’s about al]
there is to it, exdept that I’m still
going into the valley. Having seen
him, I know that he's lonely and
tortured and unhappy, and the pos-
sessor of some terrible secret that
he doesn't dare tell me. I want to
be with him, to make up for the
years we might have had together.
Once into the valley 1 can only
hope that the same rule will apply
to me as to all others—the rule
that says that those who enter can
never leave.”
Chip, a man profoundly Im-
pressed, had listened intently to
all this, and mingled emotions
marked his reaction. But some
pieces of a puzzle had fitted to-
gether, and he couldnt dull the
memory of that storm-swept night
and that brief, lightning-illumi-
nated glimpse of the two slicker-
dad .figures with the dead man be-
tween them. He said, “Hope, are
you sure—very sure—that there
isn't something else you want to
tell us—something that has to do
with your need to get into Forlorn
Valley?"
She met his gaze open-eyed.
“No, Chip,” she said,
taking me with you?”
Chip sent a sidelong glance at
Singin’ Sam McAllister and saw
something misty in the oldster s
eyes. Singin' Sam nodded and ir
this manner cost his vote, anc
Chip nodded too.
“We’ll chance It,” he said. "The
deal's on again, Hope. We re head-
ing to Forlorn Valley."
t'To Be ConUttKed^j

row m* tnac my rauier was toe
head man of Fortora Valley. Ales-
sandro had been acting as my
father’* business agent in regard
to me, issuing those checks at my
father's jeouest. But Alessandro
firged me to go’>way and forget
about the whole matter. My fa-
ther, he explained, had the same
as accepted a prison sentence by
choosing to live in Forlorn Val-
ley."
"But naturally you didn’t leave,”
Chip murmured.
“Of course- not. The previous
schoolmaster here had quit be-
cause of Illness, and I finished out
his term for him. And all that
while I tried again and again to
get Into the valley. Finally I
bribed on* of Alessandro's buH-
wbackers to take a note to mj
must geV ins ide Eonortr; a reason
that means you’ll be safer Inside
than out, then we'll taka you
a'ong. Otherwise I'm going to
ha e to welsh on the deal we
made.”
She hesitated, but only for a
moment "I want to join Clark
Rayburn inside the valley," she
said. "He’s my father."
That left Chip speechless at
first. "Your father is the leader
of the Forlomers!” be finally ejac-
ulated. "But that doesn't make
sense!"- «
“Brennan was my mother’s
maiden name, and the only namej father. In that note 1 urged him
I knew for many yeara” she said.
“But perhaps I should tell you the
story from the first; then maybe
you’ll understand. It begins in a
Catholic academy in Helens, and
my earliest recollections are cen-
tered around that place. I wasn't
of the faith, apparently, but I was
treated kindly, though nobody can
understand the loneliness of such
a place except one who has tyen
there. When I was old enough to
ask questions, I was told that my
mother was dead and that my
father lived far. fara away. They
said he’d arranged to have me
kept there.”
"You never saw him?”
“Oh, yes. He used to come now
and then when I was a small girl.
I remember him faintly from those
days—a tall, blonde man with sad
eyes. He’d take me out for the
day; always we went to a noodle
parlor in Helena's Chinatown, a
very fascinating place with soft
lights and silent, courteous wait-
ers. 1 used to wait for those days.
Chip, like the other children wait-
ed for Christmas. But when I was
about twelve, he quit coming.”
Singin’ Sam blew his nose vig-
orously, and Chip, finding many
questions but no words to voice
them, held silent.
‘The rest of the years don’t
count,” Hope went on. “When I
finished my schooling, I was quali-
fied for a teacher’s certificate. By
then I was old enough to be deter-
mined to find out a few things. I
went to the sisters who were heads
of the school and demanded some
facts. They showed me my birth
certicate, and it was then that I
learned that my name was Hope
Brennan Rayburn. They said that
my father had insisted that I be
enrolled under the shorter name.”
"And they told you where your
father was?”
Hope shook her head,
claimed they didn't know,
month a check had come to pay
for my tuition— a cashier’s check
from the Tumblerock bank. So
that's what fetched me to Tumble-
rock six months ago.”
Soberly Chip said, “Now Pm be-
ginning to savvy why you'd dis-
like a worthless galoot like me.
Shucks, I've thrown away the ver,-
things that would have been worth
a million dollars to you.”
Here said, “The lank at Turn
blerock was exasperatingly vague
about those checks that had gone
to Helena, so I went straight to
the bank’s owner —Seton Alessan-
dro. He readily admitted full
knowledge of the entire affair and

Cuero’s Clean Up, Paintup
campaign gets underway next
week. Success of this cam-
paign will of course depend op-
on the whole-hearted cooper-
ation of every member of this
community. The campaign is
designed so that everyone in
the community can take part;
No one wants to sec dirty,
unsanitary conditions. Every-
one wants a cleaner and
healthier city in which to live.
This is more than personal
pride; it is basic training in
democracy. Here is an oppo-
tunity to work together toward
a common goal.
"Clean Up-Paint Up applies
to everyone, in every income
bracket. It makes no distinction
in levels of society. It is a
great civie development lab-
oratory.
If this campaign is a success,
it will improve living condi-
tions, lead to better health and
safety, create a desire for beau-
tiful hornet and lawns, create
ideals of good cithenahip, pro-
vided added employment and
protect and enhance property
values.
Won’t you lend your utmost
cooperation.

agcowhng to a returned traveler, the population is carefully
sJgfegated by ages. So extreme is the reparation that the
food for different age groups must come from separate gar-
den i and be cooked in separate pots over separate fires in
CEpnrate cookhouses. It would be unthinkable for food from
the same potto be eaten by both father and grown-up sons,
or by both men and women, or in the presence of other age
groups.
Naturally this means many hours in the kitchen for
those who cook. There are also minor complications. Fish from

Rural Teachers?
A recent survey conducted by the Illinois College oi
Agrlcultme revealed that most rural leaders believe .that,
while teachers today are better than those of yesterday,
mu$h still remains to be done in fitting students of edu-
cation for country living and country teaching.
j Insufficient knowledge of farm and small town life
wa^, charged vby . those questioned, who advocated specia
courses for rural teachers.
L r Undoubtedly special emphasis on rural problems
woutd tee beneficial to rural students. This tendency coulc
Uio be carried too far. With modern mechanical aids anc
moans of communication and transportation, the mode or
Ufa-of farmer* and small town dwellers differs less Iron
thaj of city people than was formerly the case. A large
prefciortion of rural students migrates to the large center
cf Jtopulation upon reaching maturity. Therefore the
teaching in rural schools should not differ radically from
that supplied by city schools. At least it should not omil
much g/ what is offered in the city curriculum.
Rural life still has its special factors and problems
however, and rural schools should teach children to dea1
with them. The trouble is that the rural school, by force
oi eUcumstance, has always tended to be smaller and have
a rfftnower range of subjects than the city school. A broad-
er -range of subjects than that Gf the ordinary city cur-
