SYNOPSIS Jack Douglas returns to his Miracle Mesa ranch, after an ab- ’ sence of sta years, to find it on the ' verge of ruin and the countryaide 1 terrorued by a mysterious band of killers called "The Raiders,** who ' ars driving ths rancherc oft their 1 property. His Aunt Ines and ban- ' cee, Lola, rejoice at his homscotn- ' ing, feeling that they now have a 1 master to look sfter them. Dona Ines said if it were not for EdsPaxton, the ranch foreman, she ' would not have known where to turn . Hie first day home, Jack goes riding with his vaquero and friend, Frank Baktr. The latter says the miners ir. Cobre jump the water 1 rights sf the ranchers end that the I cattlrmen ars doing nothing sbou*. 1 it. "What we need ia a he-man-boss. We need you!'* he telle Jack Pointing to sn adobe dwelling in the canyon, Frank adds. "It's the meeting place of the Brotherhood. Nearly every peon in the country belongs. He swears allegiance to the Brotherhood instead of the man who employ* him.** Later, Douglas' old friend. Forest Ranger Sam Record, warns him that he is one of three ranchers marked i for death by The Raiders. As to the other two. Bradshaw left the i country and Wilson ik dead. DougI ley retuse* to run. however, so tbe I ranger advises him to "trust no one.** The head of The Raiders. Record says, is a giant Chinese known as "The Yellow Killer."

GIRL'S SLAYER IS HELD SANE Attica Man Must Face Trial For Fintt Degree .Murder i Crawfordsville. Ind.. Jan. It — HJ.IB - Judg- Edgar A Rice late yesterday ruled that Thomaa A Hoys. 2K. of Attica. I* sane and coapatent and mus* face trial Jan 22 in a flrat degree murder charge in connection with the attack slaying of 11-ycsndd Mlsabeih De Brulc'ker last July at Attica .Hoys allegedly confessed the ' slaying to state police wh-n he was picked up for questioning snortly after the girl's battered ’• body was discovered in a etude " grave scooped from a washout at th- edge of a golf course where Boys was employed He later rv- ' pudiated the confession *■ The sanity bearing was held to 1 determine the present condition ut Boys' mind, whether be understood " the charge against him and whether' he would assist attorneys to n defend himself. A temporary insanity plea has ti ■ii - ii i i . i. t, 7:30 (except Saturday) tor three it weeks.

"But you?” . "I happen to be one of the fev- I who have little to fear from these ' swine and lheir fantastic rituals. ' How did you get here?” "After you left my hacienda I de- i cidcd to go at once to the upper ranch and learn what more I could of Baker's death. Half way up the canyon trail I heard thi.* man crying in pain.” Making no comment, Bodine stooped over the pcua, and with his flexible fingers lightly touched tbe broken skin. "He h not hurt too much,” he said at length. "But that devil who wielded the iash did it with gusto, ch”’ Then turuing to Jack, be adm.»ni»hed, "It was unwise of you to come here tonight. You had belter leave promptly. Where is your horse?'* “Behind a clump of pifiuns near the trail." "Good, Then we can ride together. My house is not far away.” "But it is so late.” “For rnr no hour is late—sleep ia one of the things 1 am unable to command. I often sit up al! night. Besides, there are one or two things I would like to say to you." Doubtfully Douglas looked down at the beaten tnan. "What will become of him?’’ "Fo| tonight at least he is safe. Those precious ra*<a)» who flogged him are scattered over the desert by now, going their respective and respectable ways.” With that, Bodine threw a silver dollar upon the table. “Thi* will take the bite from many a lash, -dd one." he said in Spaniah. “and within an hour someone will rotne to bandage that torn back of yours.” Together the two men rode down the narrow trail in silence, each > busy with his own thoughts. For Dougla* those thoughts were far from reassuring. It was usclcm to regret he had come to the morada, but it might easily prove fatal to the role he had elected to play. And yet the very madness of going there alone at night might be in his favor —might lend some color of truth to his story. Thoughtfully he glanced at the artist i iding so silently beside him, but that air of abstraction was impregnable. There was no way of appraising him. it seemed wildly improbable that this man of talent and culture should be in any way linked with the ki 1. r , ;<-t in a country where none knew friend from foe, Douglas realised his safety lay only In utter secrecy a* to bis mw role. Suddenly with an unpleasant start be -einembi led Alison’* voice just outaid*. Could she be involved with the Brotherhood? And was Bodine Hying to protect her by say ing no v > rd of her presence there? 1 saving the canyon, they skirted a narrow neck of the desert, making a*, a fast trot for tbe opposite range of foethille, where Bodine led the way over a steeply winding trail until they emerged upon a flat promontory several hundred feet above the level of the valley. There Bodine pointed through the moonlight. "My caaa," he said. in admiration Douglas looked up at the massive three-story building that resembled seme Eurnpear cas, tie, some *tronghold of old robberbaron days, dominating from th* cliff'* edge the valley beneath. "I am enchanted. Truly. 1-ola had written me about it, of course, but I never dreamed you had built a eartie like thia. You are a marvelou« architect at well as painter, Bodine.” Obviously plensed, the little man answered. "I dabble al many things * too many. Painting, mining, en gineering— perhaps I am too versatile for my own good." He called, and in answer a servant, heavy with sleep, ran out of the darkness. With a few words of inrtruction. Bodine •ent him back to care for the old peon, but a* he left them, the artist. looked ouiuically al Douglas. "You notlre that rawal knew perfectly well where the morada i*? He may even be on* of those whn assisted in Ihi flogging What a mad .'Wintry' But come" T. get her they followed a broad flagstone path flanked with feathery shrubr, and at the caatlt * entrance Bvdiue threw epen a beavjr

»ak d<>or. Down aligfiti-d hall he i-d his guest into a tile floored studio where glass windows opened out on the moonlit night The place smelled faintly of fresh paint Dozens of canvases in al! stages of completion leaned about the walls. Bodine pointed toward a tall easel. "That picture will interest you most of all.” Bright moonlight streaming through the glass fell on the half finished portrait of a girl, and Douglas stood face to face with Lola, looking out at him from the canvas with those same slanting, halfawakened eye*. “My little cousin makes a perfect model, n<*f" “She is perfect in many ways.” Bodine switched a light <>• the half finished canvas. “I shall b< desolate when this is done and I cannot see her so often." Then at a sudden reco’iection, he bowed, "But I ought not say this to you, for it is whispered you are the lucky man who some day will marry her.” “My aunt must have told you that. It has been her one conspiracy since Ixila first came as an orphan to the hacienda." “Lucky for you to have such s far-seeing relative, fur all of us in in love with Lola. But sit down * He pointed u> » comfortable chan before the fireplace and held out a box of cigarettes. “It is good to have you back. Jac* Douglas. My hope is that we shal be good friends, you arid 1. We han much in common, and tonight I want to impose on this much-hoped for friendship by giving you a wore of advice.” "Please do.” "It was foolhardy of you to be in that morada tonight. Suppose on* of the Brotherhood had found you 1 hey would have thought you wer* spying on them, and that i- somi thing they resent. It was foolish tor for you to ride alone at night to nr-ai the scene of Baker's murder It i always possible raider* might b< abroad, and then—" Br-lme made i significant gesture "This, of court*is UM'ies* advice if you have really come back with the determination t< fight them.” Douglas raised protesting hands "Why should I want to fight? I an a rancher, not a soldier of foitune But you are all w wardike h- re. have only just returned, yet yot talk to me always of lighting. E»« t that girl from Rainbow Ranch Lola a friend—" He looked up va rantly. “Alison Neale.” “Surely. I am hopeless at narnei She too preaches that 1 must fight.' Even aa Douglas spoke he reel iaed that on those very pacing mo rnenta might rest his whole futur* destiny, for here was hi* first oppor tunity to test out the plausibility nf the new role he had elected Co play and in open appeal he turned tc Bodim. ”1 need advice. What would you do, frankly, in my case?” There was something completely disarming in Deugia*' helpless in decision, and going to a closet, Bo dine pou-ed out two glasses of st inc “Doesn't it ah depend on what you want?” Bordme asked “You see, when the valley learned you w*-re coming back everyone believed your solo purpom was to unite the ranchers in a finish tight against th* raiders. |t was common gossip be tween here and Verde.
