of the nation's independent
businessmen want to curb fake
“wholesale” nds in which the
public is led to believe that
wholesale prices are being of-
fered at re-

This Is n
serious mat-

which the

with the pres- C. W. Hardsr

the role of the Don Quixote of
Tin Pan Alley, it appears that
the greatest relief from this evil
will come from Senate and
House Small Business Commit-

vision of Justice Department.

In fact, some of the current
FTC’s actions are causing won-
der along the Potomac whether
or not career government men

Recently, appearing before
House Interstate Commerce
Committee Kintner opposed H.
R. 11333 and other bills which
would ban loss leader sales.
* * •
The committee had already
been informed by Rep. Wright
Patman, chairman House Small
Business Committee, that this
committee favored passage
a* such power at pres-
ent, it does not use It.

Obviously. It very much ap-
pears that Kintner was talking
from a briefcase Hied with
abysmal ignorance. According
to all records, Kintner has been
practically all his life that new
and growing class in Washing-
ton. the professional bureau-

As such he has never had to
move merchandise for a living.
And in all fairness, anybody
else with similar experience
would be Just a* handicapped.
After all, a Federal Trade
chairman with no experience
with Trade, will always look
somewhat ridiculous.

For example, the nation’s
coffee roasters, big or small,

It is known on a big weekend,
a store will lose S5.000 to $13,000
on specially priced coffee.

Of course, the loss to the
groeer Is problematical, as to
compensate for this loss on cof-
fee. the prices of other goods
are scaled up. so In end con-
sumer pays the cost anyway.

But grocers ' shoot the price”
on a coffee in order to attract
store traffic. So weekend “hot
shots” on coffee by every big
market have cancelled each
other out. much as trading
stamps lost their pulling power.

Within a few minutes Lisa,
now a trifle frightened, waa

with a worn sidesaddle that be-

The position Abel assigned
her waa the second swing on
the right flank of the column.
Ahead of her tn the first swing
was Lon Melton, and beyond
Melton, Paul rode at point. Her
partner on the opposite flank
waa Nepht Smith. He grinned
encouragingly at her across the

belief to Abel,
“Maybe,” was all he said. She
realized that he did not share
ner hopes. The dread that had
faded out of her mind edged
back again.
If there was any such shadow
on the thoughts ot the riders
it was submerged in a new an-
ticipation. They were nearing
the next river of importance,
the Rio Grande, and beyond the
crossing lay a town named Los
Molinos, the first settlement
they had encountered in weeks.
•They’ll all likely get drunk
as pigs in thia Loe Molinos,”
Hester had commented pesa!

They came tn sight of Los

and freighting trails. Beyond it,

It was still mid-afternoon
when the herd waa turned out

you?”
Hester tugged at Lisa s sleeve.
“You am t wanted, Elizabeth,”
snp whispered. "Let ’em kick up
their heels a little.”
Lisa laughed. She climbed
into the sidesaddle. “1 won’t fol-
low you around, Matthew, or
try to lead you avvny from the
path?- of temptation. I promise
to strictly mind my own affairs
arl return to camp before sun-
set."
Apparently there’s no re-
fusing you,” Matthew sighed.
“All I ask is that I appear
respectably escorted when I
enter this place,” she said. "My
main object is to buy thread
and needles and a thimble, all
of which I lost somewhere be-
tween here and the Pecos. I
also need a few items ot cloth-
ing”
So Lisa and the four men
rode gaily into Los Molinos. The
settlement dwindled at close
range. There were no gilded
towers. Shabby frame and 'dobe
buildings straggled alongside
the trail for a hundred yards or
more.
There waa one barroom, and
from this came the tinny music
of a hurdy-gurdy. The other
three men pulled up there, but
Lisa and Matthew galloped the
length of the settlement. “Drag-
ging the town,” Matthew called
it
He half-drew hi* six-shooter.
"Maybe we ought to shoot out
a tew windows,” he threatened.
Lisa pleased him by squeal-
ing In mock alarm and strug-
gling with him to torce him to
return the weapon to its holster.
This brought them into close
personal contact MatUiew sud-
denly pulled her closer. She
saw that he Intended to kiss
her. She sobered, sudden mem-
ories returning and darkening
thl. moment.
He understood. He drew back
a little, out his Rands still held
her arms. He shook his head
gravely. “Neither ot us Barbees
hold the dignity of the B-T
crew.”
“I’ll carry my ginger pop lik*;
a lady,” she promised.
She saw that ail the levity!1
was abruptly gone from Mat-
thew. He was looking at some-
thing back ot her. She turned.
Three men had stepped front
the wagon tunnel of a livery
barn some distance away and1
on the opposite side of the
street. They were Just In front
the trail, for their rough saddle
garb was worn and weather-
faded and gray from the dust of
miles. Their jaw# bore a heavy
bristle of beard and their hair
was long and curling over th*
collars of their saddle coats.
One was Kemp Travis. He
wore a hoistered pistoL His
companions carried braces of
weapons. Lisa Intuitively sensed:
that they had oecii waiting in
the livery establishment for*
some time. i
Travis and one of the men;
remained where they were, butt
the third member came serose ■
the street and stood on the clayj
sidewalk some fifty feet away,
gazing at Matthew and Lisa.
His attitude aroused a dutch-*
lng dread in Lisa. He was pow-
erfully built, with high, box-ilk*'
shoulders. His heavy growth of!
beard masked his features, and)
his wide-brimmed hat, weath-
ered and drooping, shaded hi*
eyes. Still there was something
faintly familiar about him. ,
She looked at Matthew. A!
darkening shadow had formed
in him. Some of the color had
gone from his face.
Suddenly she knew! Thl*
rough, armed man waa the onei
who had tried to humiliate herj
the evening she had been lost
on the plains beyond the PecosJ
This was Coe Slade who had)
taken a fist-beating from Mat-
thew's hands!
offei in the way of civilization. ' kiilec Frank O’Hara.” he said.
"Lisa seized Matthew
again, clinging, trying te
place herself as a shield be-
tween him and Coe Sladl . . .*
