Then, swinging upon the heel of ids boot, he went back to collect a hundred dollars from Melvin # ad help Bayne Trevors shape his plans. But Bud T.ee did not wait. He was pn hie horse, swaying a little, an arm caught in a rude sling, glad to be put In the late sunlight, "Fog along, little horse,” he was saying dully. “Fog right along. She's waiting. I’ttle horse. Judith Is wtiitThink of that. That’s right— , ug right ulong.” CHAPTER XV 111 : 1 j Ytt, Judith Wat Waiting At the old cabin above the lake Bud >e dismounted. His hand In Its rude ling was paining him terribly, deI nandlng some sort 'of first-aid treataent. Tomorrow he could take it to i doctor; perhaps In an hour or so ie could get Tripp to look to it; just I uiw he must do what he could for ! t himself with hot water and strips orn from an old shirt. Night had descended, serene with ' itars. He wondered If the boys were tack yet from the lumber-camp. He 1 »ad met them, as Carson had prellcted he would, riding In a closetacked, silent, ominous body. He felt issured that they would find no work lor them to do at the company’s otic*, that Carson was right and Trev»rs would “be on his way." But he itupped at the bunk house. No, the boys hadn't come In yet. But there was a message for Lee, just received by the cook. It was from Oreene, the forester, brief and to the point: Greene had lost no time in finding the sheriff of the adjoining county it White Boek and in going with him to the cave. They had found yuinnlon. He was dead, the manner of nis death clearly Indicated. For he lay at the foot of the cliffs straight below the cave’s mouth, his face terribly torn and scratched by a mad woman’s nails, the mad woman herself lying huddled and still close beside him. He had allowed the escape of her captive; she had accused him after the two of them had gone back to the cavern, had thrown herself upon him, tearing at his face, and the two had fallen. Mother and son? Lee ihuddered, hoping within his heart that Judith hud been mistaken. It was too terrible. But, such is youth, such is love. Bed Lee promptly forgot both Chris Qi.innion and Mad Ruth as he went through the lilacs to the house. He remembered how Marcia had flown once to Pollock Hampton when he h?. I made a hero of himself, how again just today she had gone swiftly to him because he had made a fool of himself and because It seemed she loved him. ’ due rime there was going to be a ■ ling at Blue Lake ranch. A wedding! Just one? Lee hurried on. • • * » • » • 1 Yes, Judith was waiting for him. She was there In the living-room, curled up on a great couch, lifting her eyes expectantly as tils step sounded on the veranda. A wonderfully gowned, transcendently lovely Judith; a Judith of bare whits arms, round and warm and rich In their tender curves; a Judith softly, alluringly feminine even In the eyes of Bud Lee, no longer theorist; a Judith whose filmy gown clung lingeringly to her like a sun-shot mist, a Judith whose tender mouth was a red flower, whose eyes were Aphrodite's own, glorious, dawn-gray, soft with the light shining in them. th» unhidden light of love for the man. who came toward her swiftly; the Judith he had first held In his arms and kissed. He came in quickly, his heart s:ng« Ing. The color suddenly ran up hot and vivid in the girl's cheeks. Standing over her he put out his hand. Bm. •he slipped her own hands behind •her. 1 “Good evening, Mr. Lee,” snld 1 •<Hth brightly. “Really, you h« v R Itaken your time In making your first Tall. Won't you sit down?” “No," said Bud Lee gravely. "I'll 'take mine standing, please!" I “Like a man to be shot at dawn ■'cried Judith. “Dear me, Mr. Lee. thuj sounds so tragic.

I THE END.I Girl, Blind For 25 Years, Finds Sight Destroys Many Illusions Oakwood, Ohio, June 22.- (United I I rest)- A queer paradox of life has been revealed in this little town. Oda Terry, 25. was horn blind, but she had I so Mt her way about that her fingers were her “eyes" ami her imagination pictured the world, from which she was veiled, as a beautiful entrancing place. And now. that modern medical science has opened her eyes to life, Octa Is terrified and really is “blind "—blind with this thing called sight—Octa, who "saw" with fingers and ears and imagined beautiful things. “First of all,” she says, “the sight of my face startled me. 1 thought 1 was rather pretty. Now (She pathetically declares) I know I am not.” Until she was told that trains and automobiles were trains and automobiles, they were to her, strange appar i(ions—terrible monsters. The face of her mother, was the first thing Octa wanted to see when physicians removed her bandagTv from her eyes and told her she could see. Asked as to the thing most beautiful to her, who has not seen for twentyfive years Octa states dandelions—they are the most beautiful things I have seen". One ray of happiness, however, has come into Octa's eyes. She will no more be a burden to her family—she feels she can now became self-sup-porting. She already has been hemstitching 1,000 towels for a local factory. “That means sls for mother", she proudly says. o Lisi Os State Voters Is Being Prepared Indianapolis, Ind., June 22. —(United Press)—A corps of about eighty men and women were working today in an improvised office at the Marion county courthouse here, preparing a permanent registration list of State voter.s as provided by the 1925 legislature. The list is being prepared from the poll and registration books used in the general election of November, 192-1 according to Harry Dunn, Marion county auditor under whose direction the force is working. The work of compiling the list will be a long tedious task, according to Dunn, since the state precincts have been increased from 225 to 269. The poll books contain only the names of the voters and their ad- ' dresses must be taken from their I precinct registration book. The work entails the copying of the names of all voters in the last general election and indexing them according to relation to the new precinct, boundary lines. A certified copy of the complete registration will later be submitted to the Democrat and Republican State chairmen, Dunn said. Unclaimed Letters Mr. Earl Phillips. Mr. Walter D-n---n >.

MIODLEWESTERN BUSINESS GOOD Conditions In Missouri Valley And Eastern Slope Called Optimistic Kansas City, Mo., June 22.—(United Press)—Middlewestern business is good. Farmers, in the main, are content. Bumper crops are expected. Industries and oil remain in healthy condition and retail marketers report an increase in sales. That, is the economic condition of the Missouri valley and eastern slope states, according to Willis J Bailey, governor of the Federal Reserve bank in the Tenth district. “Conditions are optimistic," Bailey told the United Press today, "but while being optimistic, I would say we are net on the boom. Rather we are advancing in a sure and steady economic way. Conditions are good in the main, in other places excellent and in .some places a bit discouraging. The latter may be laid to climatic reversals rather than economic errors. Bailey indicated, adding that this element may be applied to not 'only agriculture. backbone of the middlewestern business, but to kindred industries. mining, oil, milling, and retail marketing. “Prosperity cannot be measured overnight, not from year to year, but rather in the progress made since Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Nebraska wore first settled." he continued. “Kansas is harvesting a wheat crop between 151),(TOO,000 and 175,000,000 bushels. In Colorado, on the eastern slope, irrigated farming has wrought amazing development. In Oklahoma, oil, cotton and standard farming are experiencing record production. NeIn lowa. Bailey said he believed .several voices raised in discontent were giving to the world a wrong picture of the farmer. "I find by various contacts that the farmer is generally satisfied, that he resents complaints made in bis favor for farm aid. He is prospering and desires to be let alone." Bailey is himself a farmer, having settled in Kansas when it was mostly buffalo country. “What the midwest needs most is

an adherence to the old fashioned economic principles that built the western empire; that turned more soil to profit in the 30 years between 1870 and 1900 than had been ploughed in the entire country prior to that time. You can't get away from the old doctrine of supply and demand.” In mid western cities, retail marketers report to federal reserve statisticians a continued firmness, and generally a gain of two per cent in busines over that of last year. All that the west awaits, according to Bailey is the growing equality of producer and consumer in volume and number. Time, he believes, as industrial population moves westward, will bring that about. Making Soldiers Into Good Citizens St. Louis, Mo.. June 22. — (United - The United States army was described at an educational institution making soldiers, by Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis at Washington University commencement exercises here today. “Over 4i) percent of our enlisted men spend at least patt of their time in attending courses in our army schools or in performing duties whitfli lit them directly for civil occupation after they leave the army," Davio said. I feel that to give some 45,000 citizens training in nearly S(M) useful trades and professions is a real public service. Most of the men come into the army as raw recruits without much education and with little knowledge of it as trained spcialists—disciplined, self-reliant, qualified for success in civil life." General John J. Pershing, who began at West Point, and General James G. Harbor, who began as a private products of army education. o Geneva Man Fined At Portland Ivan Huff, of Geneva, was lined $5 and costs, totalling $15.60, when he was arraigned in a justice of the pence court at Portland Saturday night, on a charge of reckless driving. He paid the fine and was released. Huff was arrested by State Motor Policeman H. C. Ayers, when four persons were found riding in the seat of a Ford coupe and another was standing on the running board. - - 1 ■■ Simeon Schmitt, Gerald Durkin, and Ambrose Kohne are in Chicago attending the Eucharistic Congress.

Mushroom-Shaped Hat Popular On Fifth Avenue By Hedda Hoyt (Written for the United Press) New 1 ork, June 22 (United Press) | —Two weeks ago we naw the first mushroom-shaped hat on Fifth Ave nue. This week there ar* dozens of them worn by misses and matrons alike. Large black milan. with wide drooping brims, trimmed solely with ribbon about the crowns, am perhaps th“ smartest of the new bonnets seen on Fifth Avenue The brims are wide in front ami at the sides and slightly narrower In the rear. The very short rear brim is not as smart as the slightly short rear brim. Crowns are rounded and neither particularly high or low Belting ribbon is the invariable crown Sue hhats are appropriate for both sports and dressy wear thia season. shapes of horsehair are also being worn to some extent although they are not as conspicious as are rn'lans. The honsehair shapes are usually combined with velvet which is used as a wide facing on the outer edge of the under brirn. Very few floral trims have been seen this season. Ribbon or velvet are more popular. Straw hats are gaining in popu'arity dally. At this time last year felts were worn by the majority of women but according to reports from millinery shops there are more straws than felts worn this season. Large felt shapes nf mushroom type are among the newest of the felt shapes. These come in soft pastel colors to harmonize with the crepe de chine snorts frocks or with tweed suits. Small shapes are still being worn but are less popular than they were. Vanilla colorings which run to pale shades of creamy beige are important |
