CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
“I EXPECT they’ll be co ning
in most any minute, Jerry,” George
Brazee was saying. “It’s getting on
toward four o’clock. You car figure
they just decried to stay in town
for dinner; lunch, that is.”
“Even then they’d have time to
get back here,” young Jerry Dale
declared. He and Mr. anti Mrs.
Brafcee and the black boy Midnight
were talking at tne ranch black
smith shop. Jerry had been con
cerned about Lorena ar.c all
day.
“Well, you got to figure they
aren’t in no hurry, son,” George
Brazee chuckled. “ You’ r e not blind.
Surely >ou have r en teat Snot .
sort of taken with Lorena. You a ‘ r
yourself Now admit it, eh?”
“That’s net the poir.snapped
Jerry. “I—”
“Well, it's a good point, whether
you admit it or not. New den’t go
pawing any dirt at me. x’m not but

rival has to en T rena ir to Blanco

ride the stage on in to Douglas to
see a moving pic cure show, who can
tell?”
“Nuts," growled Jerry.
“Hit’s a heap of cowboys likin’
Miss Lor aa, yeah!” Midnight
put in.
“Is that a fact, Midnight?”
George Brazee grinned at his
black protege. “How do you happen
to know?”
“Who- wee, Mvtvb George, they [
promises me money to h :’p ’em
court her, yass\.b 1 has to go tell
her how kind and .ill they is.”
“How? Whats tuat? Come on,
Midnight, I’ve got a quarter—mav
be a half dollar. Tell me what’s
been going on.”
Mrs. Brazee spoke sharply to
him. “George Brazee, I declare! If
you aren’t just an old busybody,
trying to bribe t his to tell you
a lot of gossip. r \ hy don’t you mind
your own affairs so ncbody’ll gos
sip about you?”
But George Brazee’s eyes were j
twinkling and his large bedy was
shaking in laughter now. He ig
nored his wife. “Go cn, boy, you
Want this half dollar?”
“Mistul. George, you knows I’d
do anything in u? world you wants.
And for r half doiluh, sail, I’d do
more’n that.”
“Hush, Midnight!” Safiy put in.
“Go ’long .’bout your business

this white man. I’ll give you the
half dollar myself.”
“Yessum, Miss Sally, thank you,
ma’am,” Midnight was grinning.
He realized he had made a good
business deal. He took himself tact
fully away.
“Rogers’ men are more or less
bluffing along without a leader,
while he if off wasting time with a
girl,” Jerry Dale said now, 1 signi
ficantly. “I don’t need to point out
—do I?—that Rogers hasn’t done
a confounded thing. You’-e lost
more cows since he and his so
called army took charge. He was
going to do this and that to Luis
Escobar. What has he done?”
George Brazee was still in a
devilish mood, still grinning.
“He’s found him a girl.”
“Nuts on tha£! I’m not concerned
with Lorena. I mean—”
“You mean that’s the very trou
ble. Shot’s concerned with her, and
you’d like to be. If you could find
her, I bet you would be, eh Jerry?”
“Hush it, George! You’re talking
too much.” Mrs. Brazee was in
earnest now.
“Aw, I’m only funning a little.
You I::* -.v t’-r*. Jerry. I’m not seri
ously trying to stick my neck in.
But as to Rogers’ men—you are
partly right there. I do think may
bf» he ought to have stuck on his
job.”
“They went to the east range
again yesterday morning. Why
didn't he go with them instead of
carting Lorena off to town?”
“Well, son, she had to have an
escort, and his note said he had
business in town. We wouldn’t
want her to go on that road again
aione, eftc” what happened to her
firsl tine. I can’t figure what
C iM v ins were doing over in
that y r of the country unless
ti.ey were just spies and thought
they could kidnap Lorena for ran
som money, but—”
“Well, hell, did Rogers have to be
the escort? Couldn’t—couldn’t any
of'us have taken her in to the
dentist, if she had to go? Rogers
had business here, damn it!”
“Urn. Son, there’s no business as
urgent as making love.”
“Nuts!”
“No, no. When a man is taken
to a girl, why, he will let every
tning else slip. Duty is strong, but
woman lure is stronger, ain’t it,
Saliy gal? Why, I didn’t give a
hang what else went on in the
world when I was a-courting. All
I wanted was to marry Sally Ham
ilton, and I done so!”
“George! I declare! Do you have
to rant about it?”
“I wasn’t ranting, Sally. I mean
it. I mean I won you fair. I needed
you, too. You was hard to get. But
worth it.”
“Well, my goodness, George Bra
zee! How you can run on! I’m go
ing in the house.”
Her husband laughed heartily as
she went away.
His laughter, and the conversa
tion that had precede*., it, attracted
some of the men who had been as
signed to ride with Shot Rogers,
and who had been loafing around
the ranch home all day. Four of
them walked from the bunkhouse
over to the blacksmith shop.
“Mr. Brazee,” one of them spoke,
“it don’t look like Shit’s liable to
show up again today, eve”.”
“No. Nope, it don’t. We were just
talking about that. Unh-huhm.”
“Well, sir, you think maybe it
would be all right—you think—uh,
where at do you reckon Shot is? I
mean, is he all right? We, uh—”
“Oh, shore!” Mr. Brazee grinned
again. “It’s just love, is all.”
“Yes, sir, reckon so. You right
sure he went in to town, no doubt?
Reckon he had to squire Miss Lo
rena in?”
“Oh, yes.”
“He ought to be here tending to
his business affairs,” Jerry Dale
declared. “What about me taking
charge of the scouts, Mr. Brazee,
and seeing what can be done about
Escobar? If Rogers is so interest
ed in chasing off to —”
“You mean you want me to put
you in charge, in his place?”
“Well, yes sir, it’s an idea. Isn’t
it? Isn’t it, now? There’s » job to
be done.”
“We’d better wait for Shot,” said
the third man, dryly, and his three
companions nodded. George Brazee
did not miss the connotation of
this.
“Shct’ll be back in good time,”
George said. “He—he may be mak
ing out a new plan of his own. He’ll
check in.”
“That’s what we been a-saying,
Mr. Brazee,” the scout declared,
nodding. "We c’n wait. But, uh, one
point that is disturbin’.”
“What’s that?”
"Well, sir, what hosses did him
and Miss Lorena ride in to town
on? Or what hack? Or what car?
How’d they go to town?”
He spoke seriously. George Bra
zee turned to look intently at the
man.
“Why—why, you mean—?”
“Yes, sir. We been sort of check
ing up. Shot’s horses are here.
Every one’s here, or hereabouts.
Every hack and car's here. Shot’n
Miss Lorena didn’t figger to walk
to Blanco, did they?”

Real Protection Now
For The Drug User
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
I UNDERSTAND an extension of
the operation of some of the pro
visions of the new Federal Pure
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act has
been granted until January, 1940.
On next New Year’s Day then,
the people of the United States will
have re-enforced protection on
products that they purchase large
ly on faith.
The new law is a substantial re
vision of the act of 1906. Its most
striking feature is the inclusion of
cosmetics. Hitherto cosmetics were
manufactured and marketed with-

questions of general interest
only, and then only through
his column.
®«t governmental supervision. That
they could do harm was evidenced
in the widely-publicized cases of
blindness caused by eyelash beauti
fiers and poisoning of various de
grees from various cosmetics.
Strong Opposition
When this column first began to
advocate the passage of a revised
law, nearly the whole profession
of pharmacists and drug manufac
turers, as well as patent, medicine
vendors, was solidly against it. I
was surprised to find that the most
respectable and conscientious manu
facturers were as much opposed to
it as the cynically indifferent hawk
er of a dishonest -nostrum. I was
bombarded with protests from low
and high. One or two senators who
had fortified themselves against the
displeasure of the electorate by put
ting away the securities of drug
firms were confirmed obstruction
ists to the bill in committee. At one
time it appeared as if an emascu
lated form of the bill would be al
lowed to pass.
I am happy, therefore, to be able
to express the opinion that the pres
ent act is really a splendid law,
much stronger, I fancy, than some
of its opponents suspect.
To begin with, it extends the
scope of protection not only to cos
metics, but to diagnostic drugs,
therapeutic devices, fat reducers,
vitalizing belts, contraceptives and
other gadgets intended to alter the
structure or function of the body.
Further Than Before
The public health features go
much further than anything we
have ever had before. As a result
of the elixir of sulfanilimide dis
aster, the manufacturer will no
longer be able to toss a new drug
onto the market without first test
ing it adequately to see that it is
safe for use as prescribed in the
labelling. . .
No drug product can go into in
terstate commerce until the secre
tary of agriculture is satisfied that
it has been so tested.
Perhaps the casual citizen may
suppose that such a provision is
only rarely required. Note then
that this is one provision that went
into effect immediately on the sign
ing of the bill, June 27, 1938. In
the first year of enforcement over
1,200 applications with respect to
such new drugs were received, an
average of four a working day.
About half the applications were
granted. Which will give some idea
of what the situation must have
been like before.
Bans Dangerous Drugs
Another section that went into
effect immediately bans drugs
which may be dangerous when used
as prescribed. During the year tho
department of agriculture seized
47 shipments of such products,
mostly pain killers containing
aminopyrine. Fifty - seven ship
ments of dangerous therapeutic
devices have been seized.
Thanks to Rees, of Kansas;
Mapes, of Michigan; Chapman, of
Kentucky, and the late Senator
Copeland, the joker that the apple
growers got into the bill, which pro*
vided for a type of court review
which would hold up enforcement
indefinitely, has been starched up so
that review is held before the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals. Several re
views on food standards have been
held and the downtrodden consumer
takes great satisfaction in standing
up and cross-examining the manu
facturers about their methods. It’s
real democracy at wo~k.
