Another gong sent both engines full ahead and—by a margin of inches—the windows cleared the lashing arm that trailed its tip along the sun deck. “All clear the rudder, sir!” Shan's voice came from aft Denny realized vaguely, wonderingly, that by the skillful manipulation of his engines alone, the Maid’t master had swung his rudderless ship and saved it from disaster. The Maid forged on, guided by the firm hands and split-second decisions of the man at the wheel. Denny watched him swaying there. She felt a deep admiration for him; for his coolness, for the perfect coordination of eye, hand, and brain that enabled him to cope successfully

with the ever-changing hazards of the canyon. For the first time in her life she’had a fleeting consciousness of that conquering bit of God which dwells in the soul of man —that sublime, audacious spark which gives him dominion over the mindless immensities of Nature. When she looked ahead again, a waterfall, perhaps three feet high, seemed to bar the channel from wall to wall Smooth as glass it rounded I down to the Canyon floor. She felt the Maid veer, leap forward, and could have almost sworn that Bourne had sent it climbing to the upper level. Then she discovered that the high walls no longer hemmed them in. The Maid had in reality slid off to one side, made a half-circle round the fall, and was now in the eddy above it. “We’re through!” cried Miss Hale, with a shaky laugh. Bourne was patting the wheel of the Maid. “Good work, baby I” he said to it, before turning it over to Shan. “Well, well, we made it again! he exclaimed exuberantly, grinning at the girls. “Ladies, at a moment like this, I’m as clay in the hands of the potter. Ask me anything, and I can’t refuse you!” “I’ll take you up on that, Captain,” drawled Rio. “Make it champagne when we get to Tarnigan. “Okay,” Bourne agreed shortly. Then he turned to Denny. She was looking up at him with eyes that were full of radiant, green light. “And you?” said his eloquent glance and silent tongue. “Is there nothing I can do for you?” But before he could voice the question, Harp thrust his head in at the door. "Holy Andrew, skipper!” he cried. “That maneuver with the tree was the prettiest piece of river work I ever saw!’’ Bourne laughed and hooked ku

cap over a peg. "The credit goes to the fast work of my engineer, Harp. He’s a wonder. I’m going to hop down to the engine room to give him a cheer. You take the girls in to my cabin and entertain them while I’m gone.” Denny followed her companions into the captain’s quarters and glanced curiously about. He had done himself rather well, for a Northerner, she thought Hangings and thick rugs in smoky green; here and there touches of wood brown, orange, a trace of black. Two soft club chairs. The berth, into which Rio sank immediately, was made up like a couch, with cushions in varying shades of green, brown, and burnt orange. The lower half of the walls was lined with books. Denny picked up a tiny shagreen case with a gold sphinx-head clasp.

“What is this exotic thing?” she asked. “Give it a look,” suggested Harp. “The skipper won’t mind. Prince As Is, or As Wuz, or some such Egyptian name, slipped it to him a couple of years ago when ho was hunting up here." “An Egyptian prince? Up here?” exclaimed Denny in surprise. “Sure! We get hunters from all over the world, Miss Denise.” Denny opened the case and an exquisite pair of dice rolled into her palm—cubes of "moonlight” jade with rubies for spots. She stood gazing at them, thinking of last night in the grove, when Bourne had said to Page, “How about a little game to settle this—my right against what you claim is yours on the Stikine?” Aloud she said, “I can’t understand how men have the nerve to stake so much on the throw of these little cubes. Has Captain Page, by any chance, this same gambling blood?” Harp answered with evident reluctance, “Well —yes and no. He’s crazy to play; give him the edge and he’ll stick till the cows come home. But —he’s what we call a winning gambler.” Denny, unaware that a “winning gambler” was one who couldn’t “stick” to play out a losing hand, was turning over in her mind what she knew of Revelry Bourne and Jack Page. Both gamblers and master white-water navigators. Their coming contest on the Stikine promised to be a game worth watching. She felt a faint regret that she would not be here to witness it; and at the same time, a thrill that caq» from knowing she controlled what would prove to be an ace in the gam* they were to play.

PASTOR ADMITS MURDER CHARGE Illinois Minister Signs Confession To Killing Woman Pittsfield, 111., July 16. — (U.R) — The Rev. C. E. Newton, frail Baptist minister, calmly faced a first degree murder charge today, declaring tiiat in his confession to the slaying of a parishioner’s wife he had offered a -“plea of guilt." Sherd Wendell Johnson said Hie six-foot, 126 pound minister would lie arraigned before police magistrate T. E. Aldrich today on a charge of murdering Mrs. Dennis Kelly, 45, wife of a Paris, Mo., mailman. Mrs. Kelly was running away from her husband, Newton said in his confession. She insisted he .accompany her. He refused and they quarreled. She fell and was injured. Newton thought she was dyitig, lost his head, struck her with a hanuner “or something.” State’s attorney Merrill Johnston of Pike county announced the confession after an hour's questioning during which he demanded that the minister explain: how he suddenly possessed ?1.930 —only 020 lees than Mrs. Kelly took with her when she left home; the presence of a grave-like pit in his garage; blood stains in his car; his possession of Mrs. Kelly’s clothing. Attention was drawn to Newton Tuesday, the day Mrs. Kelly’s body was found floating in the Missis-

Her husband gave police her 14page "farewell” note in which Newton's name was mentioned, investigators found what they said was blood and matted hair in Newton’s car, and the pit in his garage. Newton was arrested, and charged with first degree murder in Paris. Then authorities decided the murder occurred in Illinois, removed him to Pittsfield. Miss Myra Haman, 35, raised from childhood in Newton's home, announced suddenly to State's Attorney Thomas Proctor last night that Newton had told her he had "done away with" Mrs. Kelly. —o — New WPA Assistant Supervisor Named Fort Wayne, Ind., July 16 —(UP) —C.

STATE REVENUE UNDER EXPENSE (Jov. Townsend Predicts Deficit Os Five And Half Million Indianapolis, July IS. —(U.R) —The state government is operating on an unbalanced budget, it appeared today after Gov. M. Clifford Townsend’s announcement that the approximate $24,000,000 surplus In the state treasury must be used to prevent deficits for the next two years. The governor predicted an annual deficit of $5,500,000 for the next two years of the fiscal biennium unless there is an increase in state revenues. An estimate by Edward Brennan, state budget director, said that expenditures for this biennium PILL SLAVE FREED FROM CONSTIPATION A convincing tribute is paid to Kellogg’s All-Bran in this letter from Mr. F. C. Aminsen of Seattle. “I suffered with constipation for many years and was compelled to use pills every night. Since I got your All-Bran, it works fine. I was so deathly sick of taking pills. Now it is so different. Kellogg’s All-Bran works so naturally, and is pleasant to eat.” Inside the body, All-Bran absorbs twice its weight in water, forming a soft mass that gently sponges out the intestines. It also supplies vitamin B to help tone the I intestines, and iron for the blood. You’ll enjoy eating Kellogg’s All-Bran. As a cereal with milk or fruits, or in appetizing recipes. Two tablespoonfuls every day are usually enough — three times daily if needed. Sold by all grocers. Made and guaranteed by Kellogg in Battle Creek. J

In view of this situation, Townsend said, the next legislature may l>o asked to provide new tax revenue unless Income from present levies increases. ’’With the slate spending more than it earns for the next three years the present balance of $23,555.579 in the general fund then will be only $7,355,879,” the governor said. “It Is a well-known fact that any business' that seeks to meet its operating expense by calling on surplus year after year is riding for a fall. The administration realized this fact at the time the budget was being compiled and the last legislature passed a resolution providing for a tax stuffy commission.
