HUNDREDS FLOCK TO STATE PARKS Attendance Record In Prospect At Indiana Nature Parks This Summer Indianapolis Ind., June 15—(United Press.)- State parks in Indiana are enjoying a great week-end patronage with the approach of the hot season and reports from park superintendents this year have led Richard Lieber, director of the state department of conservation to believe an attendance record will be established. Indiana lias u great deal to offer in the way of picturesque and spectacular scenery in its six state parks, according to Lieber. While no one of the parks embodies a complete panorama of the wonders of nature, each has something of the order to offer. Because of superior hotel accommodations and splendid dining room service which has been widely advertised among thousands of visitors, the older parks, such as Turkey Run. McCormick’s ('reek canyon and Clifty Falls are enjoying the largest patronage at the present, Leiber stated. Good highways throughout the state, coupled with the good accommodations afforded at each of the state parks is expected to prove a great drawing card, not only to citi-. tens of the state itself but to thousands of out-of-state tourists who will want to visit on e or more of the natural beauty spots. Dunes park, with its frontage on Lake Michigan and its great natural rugged beauty is expected to prove a great drawing card to out-of-state tourists as it is situated just off the famous Dunes highway and is easy to reach from Chicago and other Illinois and Michigan points. — o “Bumming” Rides On Highways Is Difficult Job, Says Aged “Hiker” Portland. Ind.. June 15—(United rides on highway vehicles of the country is a more difficult thing than on the railways, in the opinion of one Fred Price, alias John Elliott, alias etc., who limped into the city late Friday afternoon on two "flat tires.” if such can describe the partial slipptrs which he wore without socks. The old man, who said he was seventy-two-years of age. told of "hoofing it” here from McKeesburg, Pa..where he said he was an imate in a county farm until he tired of his duties in daily milking 108 cows. He said he asked to leave the place and was granted permission. However, his actions appeared to be those of one suspicious of apprehension, and it is possible that he may be wanted some place, and also may not have come here from Pennsylvania. Very unkempt in his pesonal appearance and with frazzled and perhaps insufficient clothing to cover his body, the man attracted considerable attention in the vicinity of the fire station, where he “rested" for a time after, his long jounney. He was given a pair of shoes by the firemen and some money by others. After this he treated himself to a real evening’s entertainment, perhaps the first he has enjoyed in a long time. Taking supperat a restaurant, the first meal hesaid he had eaten in several days, the grizzled stranger treated himself to a picture show', at the conclusion of which he called at the city police station and was provided with a bunk fort he night, inone of the cells. He ■saidhewas a machinist by trade and was headed south when he left here Saturdaymorning. He said he waved at autoists to take him aboard, but they paid no attention to him, one heartless motorist diverting his machine from its regular path in order to his a puddle of water to splash the aged man. This occurredbetween here and Decatur. When he arrived here his tattred clothing was thickly splattered with mud.

A forest ranger, perhaps, whose duty It ,was to ride fast and far to battle with the first spark threatening the wooded solitudes; perhaps some crew in a logging-camp, than whom none knew better the danger of spreading fires; perhaps some cowboy, even one of her own men—perhaps Qulnnlon and Ruth! She then wonld hide among the rocks until they had come and gone. Even now, against the sleep falling upon her, she drew farther back through the tumbled boulders. Perhaps, Bud Lee. ... . She Went to sleep beyond the circle of bright light, tired and hungry and striving against a returning hopelessness, her young body curled up In the nest she had found, a cheek cuddled against her arm, wondering vaguelyif some one would see her fire and come—if that some one might be Bud Lee.

' ' i ly, to He smouldering on the rocky soil, the upstanding trunk glowed, 1 vivid.against the sky-line. In the early morning at least two pairs of eyes found the plume of. smoke above the still burning giant pine. A man named Greene, one of the government forest rangers, blazing a new trail over Devil's ridge, came out upon a height, saw it and watched it frownlngly across the miles. It called him to a hard ride, perhaps to a difficult journey on foot after he must leave his horse. He turned promptly from the work in hand, ran to his horse, swung up and sped back to his cabin, to telephone to the near-, est station, passing the word. Then , with ax and shovel, he began his slow, way toward the beacon. Bud Lee, from the mountain-top, where he and Burkitt had taken Hampton, saw it. Lee judged rough-] ly that It was separated from him by -four or five miles of broken country,; impassable to a man on horseback, to be covered laboriously on foot in a matter of weary hours. ■ Lee and Green approached the slg- ■ nal smoke from different quarters, Lee. from the west, Green from the north-: east. They fought their way on to-' ward It with far different emotions 1 In their breasts.

"sTandlng among the scattered ooururrw, her back to a great rock. She was waving to him. Her lips were mov-J Ing. though he could not see that yet. could not hear her tremulous: "Oh, thank God, thunk God I” "Judith," he called, "Judith!” Now. near enough to see her dU-j tlnctly, he saw that her face waa white, that the hand she held out was' shaking, that her clothes were torn,! that she looked pitifully In need of him. But at last, when he stood at her side, one of the old rare smiles came Into Judith's tired eyes, her lips curved, and she said quietly: "Good morning, Bud Lee. You were very good—to come to me." "Oh, Judith," he cried sharply. But no other word came to his lips then. The brave little smtle had gone, the whiteness of her face smote him to the heart. And now she was shaking , from head to foot, and he knew why she had not stepped out to meet him, why she had kept her back to the rock. He thought that she was go* Ing to fall, he saw two big tears start! from the suddenly closed eyelids, and with a little Inarticulate cry he took her into his arms. "If you bed not come, Bud Lee," she whispered faintly, "I should havei died, I think.” Very tenderly he gathered her up] so that her little boots were swung] clear of the flinty ground and she lay; quiet In his arms. He stood a mo-l went holding her thus, looking with] eyes alternately bard and tender Intq her face. He wanted to hold her thus always, to watch the glad color come back into her cheeks, to carry her, like a baby, back across the weary! miles and home. And, oddly, per-] haps, the thought came back to him] and hurt him as it had never hurt him before, that he had once been brutal: with her, that he had crushed her In'his arms and forced upon her lips his' kiss. He had been brutal with Judith,: when now he could kill a man for lay-1 Inga little finger on her. “I have been a brute with yon, a brute," he muttered to himself. But] Judith heard him, her eyes fluttered open and into them came again her glorious smile. "Because you kissed me that night,’ Bud Lee?" she asked him. "Don't!” he cried sharply. "Don’t even remember It, Judith.” "Do you know so little of a girl,] Bud Lee,” she went on slowly, "to think that a man can so easily—find her lips with his unless —unless she wants to be kissed?" He almost doubted his ears; he could hardly believe that he had seen] what he had seen In Judith's eyes. They were closed now, she lay quiet' In his arms, It seemed that she had fainted, or was asleep, so very white and still was she. He had forgotten that he must carry her to where he codld lay her down and bring water to her, give her something to eat. He Just stood motionless, holding her to him, staring hungrily down at her. “Are you going to play—l’m your' baby—all day, Bud Lee?” she asked softly. He carried her swiftly away from' the ring of boulders and to a little grassy, level spot where he put her; down with lingering tenderness. Ju-I dlth had not been angry with him all these months! Judith had let him kiss her because she wanted to be kissed —' by him! He raked some coals out of the ashes, hastily set some slices of bacon] to fry, cursed himself for not having brought coffee and milk and sugar and a steak and a flask of whisky and enough other articles to load a mule.’ He ran down Into the canyon and brought water In his hat, swearing at himself all the way up that he had; not brought a cup. He put his arm] about her while she drank; kept his, arm about her, kneeling at her side, while he gave her a little, crisp slice of bacon, held his arm there W’hen she had finished, watching her solicitously. J ,

"The two nicest things In the world,, Mr. Man," «he said, with a second attempt at the old Judith brightness,, "are half-burnt bacon and Bud Lee!" • Then, because, though he had been! slow to believe, he was not a fool,' apd now did believe, he kissed her.] And Judith's lips met his lingeringly. Judith's two arms rose, slipped about' his neck, holding him tight to her. j The faintest of flushes had come' at last into her cheeks. He saw It and grew glad as he held her so that he could look into her face. But now she laid a hand against his breast, holding him back from her. "That’s all now,” she told him, her! eyes soft upon him. “Just one kiss' for each slice of bacon, Mr. I,ee. But —l'm so hungry!” , For a little there was nothing to doj but for Judith to rest and get some] of her strength back. Lee made of; his coat and vest a seat for her against a rock, sat at her side, his] arm about her, made her lean against] him and Just be happy. Not yetj would he let her tel! him of the hor-| rors through which she had gone. And] he saw no need of telling her anything Immediately of conditions as hel had left them gt the ranch. Tlmel enough for that when she was]' stronger, when they were near Blue] lake. * I Greene, the forester, came at lare 1 up the mountain. He noted the Iso-j lated tree, nodded at it made a brief tour around the charred; 1 .circle, extinguishing a burning brand] here and tiler*. “What sort of a fool would want] to climb way up here to start a Are, anyway?” he grumbled. 1 1 , Then, unexpectedly, he came upon the happlest-locklng man he had ever' , seen, with hl* arms about an amass ■lngly pretty girl. Not Just the sort 'of thing a lone forest ranger count* upon stumbling upon _on the top ojf

a mountaln.’ Greene stared IB Oewiid- ; erment, Bud Lee turning a flaming red. Judith amlted. i ••Good morning, stranger," said l ee. '"Fine day, Isn't it?" 1 Judith laughed. Greene continued to stare. Lee went a trifle redder. | ] "If you two folks just started that; !fire for fun," grunted Greene finally, ["why? then, all I've got to say Is ' you've got a blamed queer Idea of fun.] ’Here I've been busting myself wide 'open to get to It." 'i ; "Haven’t got a flask of brandy on I iyou, have you?" asked Lee. I "Yes. I have. And what's more I'm going to take a shot at It right now. ' ■ls nobody asks you, I need It!" ] Now, Lee heard for the first time ' something of Judith’s adventure. For, I j recognizing the ranger in Greene, she 'told him swiftly why she had started ’the Are, of her trouble with Qulnnlon. iof the cave where Qulnnlon had at.tacked her and of Mad Ruth. Greene's eyes lighted with Interest. He swept ioff ids hat and cams forward, suddenly apologetic and -very human!i proffering bis brandy. Insisting wltts Lee upon her taking a sip of It. Yes, he knew Mad Ruth, he knew] where her cabin was. He could find! the cave from Judith's description.; Also, he knew of Qulnnlon und would .be delighted to break a record getting buck to bls station and to VVhite-l Rock. White Bock was in the next 'county, but so, for that matter, was [the cave. He'd get the sheriff and] jwould lose no time cornering Qulnnlon] if the man had not already slipped away. | "1 /ion't know you two real well," said Greene, with a quick smile at the , end, "but If you don’t mind, pardner,” i and he put out his hand to Lee, “I’d ■ like to congratulate you I I don’t know a man that's quite as lucky this morning as you are!” | "Thank you," laughed Judith. She rose and shook hands too. “We’re at Blue Lake ranch for the present. Come ! and see us." ? "Then you’re Miss Sanford?” said] Greene. He laughed. "I've heard of; you more than once. Greene's my name.” I "Lee's mine," offered Lee. "Bud Lee, eh? Oh, you two will] do! So long, friends. I’m off to look ( up Qulnnlon.” • And, swinging hfs ax blithely,Greene took his departure. •rrhere are other things In the world] besides just cliffs to stare at,” said] Judith. “And I would like a bath and! a change of clothes and a chance to! brush my hair. And the bacon doesn’t; taste so good as It did and I want an' apple and a glass of milk.” . So at last they left the mountainhop and made their slow way down. ! As they went Lee told her something of what had happened at the ranch, how Carson would hold off the •buyers, how Tommy Burkitt was as-; sumtng charge of Pollock Hampton,; •And when they came near enough to] Burkitt's and Hampton’s hiding-place,’ 'Lee fired a rifle several times to get) ] jßurkltt’s attention. Finally they saw; j •the boy, standing against the sky upon ]a big rock, waving to them. From| i Lee's shouts, from his gestures, chiefly! 'from the fact that Judith was there,] Burkitt understood and freed Hamp-, ton, the, two of them coming swiftly; .down to Judith und Lee.
