Ute North Korean incident, in which an American plane was shot down and one occupant was killed, Is distressing. We hope that the Communists have a satisfactory explanation. 0 0 The proposed tax rate for citisens of Huntington is 85.24, a 35 cent increase over this years. The biggest boost there as almost everywhere was caused by the cumulative school fund. 0 01— Better join the happy crowd that is going to New York City September 2 to 5. You will enjoy every minute of it we are sure and see much of the big city, it’s an Erie-Daily Democrat excursion and will be even better than the announcements claim for it. 0 0 Nineteen Red Cross volunteer nurses gave seventy-eight visitors at the Mercer county fair at Celina last week treatments for ailments varying from headaches to severe bruises, cuts and other minor injuries. The first aid station was set up under the grandstand and visitors were made welcome and helped promptly. 0 o Bowling, great American fall and winter paet-time, soon will rule the sports roost in Decatur. Teams are being organised, both at Mies Recreation and at the General Electric. Hundreds of men and women find relaxation tn the sport and we are fortunate in having bowling lanes both up town in Decatur and at the General Electric club rooms. 0 0 A national Administration News bureau release has this report: "Director James V. Bennett of the Federal prison Bureau reported today to_ Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr., that the Federal Prison population in the first six months of 1855 was the highest in the history of the Federal prison system.” Is that the only “first” they can dig up for the campaign? 0 0 The talk of a feud between President Eisenhower and former President Truman, as reported in Look magazine, sounds silly to the average person. Os course they do not agree on everything

Ferd loves the game and he is never the type to settle for less than a champion team. The local entry keeps . Decatur tops in the semi-pro baseball field, and we join the hundreds of fans in our sincere wish that the Decatur team wins the Rockford series and goes on to national honors. 0— — o Fall and winter television programs are being announced.

A good many minutes of each half hour are devoted to these not always ethical announcements. Looks like television is joining its sister, radio, in one of the greatest producers of corn. Maybe it should be under control of the department of agricdlture. ♦

CHAPTER FORTY HALF AN hour later, eight exhausted riders sat their horses and watched a bunch of even more exhausted cattle, safe out of the track of the flames in the shelter ot a dry riverbed. Now the wind had died down. It was sickening to see the wide swathe the flames had Cut And the burned-over land had been the best graze on the whole ranch. His eyes, turning from the destruction behind him to rest on the untouched grass rolling off southward to the neater settlement, caught the red glow of another line of flame. “What—!” he muttered, touching the spurs to his horse. Two fires breaking out at once, so close to each other—it was queer, a little too queer! Looked like the Cullen place. Well, the old hothead had been asking for trouble. With his eyes-ec the flames, Rob almost rode his horse into a little huddle of men, and realized that he’d run dead into the nester camp. This last hour he’d all but forgotten them. Most of them, after one dull look at him, turned their eyes back in fascinated misery to the furnace that should have been their harvest, but old Cullen snatched at his bridle and stared up fiercely into his face. “The Lord’s hardened your heart, Rob Mallory!" he thundered. “But you're goin' to suffer for this, as sure as there's a God in Heaven! It’s not enough for you that you’ve got good men’s blood on your hands, you got to burn and destroy what they sweated to raise—- “ You think that fire’s my doing? You wild-eyed old lunatic!" Rob blazed. “You think I’d set fire to my own grass?” He felt suddenly chilled, and thought for a moment bitterly, "(Setting old." Then he realized what had happened. The wind had freshened and shifted around to the west It was blowing in gusts, ■with a wet feel to it that promised rain. Rain to put out the fires—he drew a long breath of thankfulness, before a moaning sound from the throats of the men near him brought his ayes around to where they were looking. The Wind had caught at the fire and whipped it high, and given it a new direction. In crackling fury it swept across Cullen’s field. “The house'll bo goln’!’’ There was such in the old man’s

When entering a night club with her escort, should a girl go first to the table with him and then excuse herself while she goes to the powder room? A.

cry mat Rob turned to mm witn an impulse of pity. “Houses can be built again." “But the women and kids—and the hurt ones — those women — they’ll never be able to move ’em all in time! My boy’s in there!” “Well, why are you all standing around like a bunch of scarecrows? Get your horses and get moving! Put some life into it! You’ve got legs, haven’t you? Use ’em —or do you expect the Lord to send down a couple of angels to do your Work for you?" The whiplash of Rob’s voice stung the men out of their benumbed immobility and sent them scrambling for their mounts. Before the last of them had a foot in the stirrup, Rob was streaking off toward the Cullen place, shouting back at Uiem to follow him. He raked with his spurs, laid on the quirt, mercilessly bleeding the black stallion of the last ounce of power in him. For all the work he'd had that night, the cowpony could still outstrip the heavy-boned farm-horses, trained for plowing, not for this kind of race. Rob could hear the thud of their big hooves behind him, and the desperate, sobbing breath of the riders. He tore up to the house, not a minute too soon. One wall was already ablaze, and flames were licking along the roof. In the dooryard, women and children huddled, a terrified little knot of humanity, the youngsters wailing, a few of the mothers trying futiley to quiet them while the others stood twisting work calloused hands and staring in horror at the house. Rob yelled at them, “Get those kids out of the way! You want the roof to fall on them?” and plunged in. Smoke blinded him, choked him, made his lungs ache to bursting; the heat seemed to sear his skin. Women—four, five, six, impossible to see clearly—were tugging at men who lay on the beds struggling to raise themselves. One man had managed to get on his legs and was leaning on a woman, almost bearing her down with his sagging weight. Rob caught him around the waist, dragged him to the door and thrust him into the arms of one of the men who were crowding in. “You women! Clear out now! We can handle it" Not waiting to see his Order obeyed, Rob groped to the last of the beds, the one nearest the burning wall. Sparks had already set the blankets smouldering. Rob snatched them

os, setting hi* teeth on the pain of his singed hands, and thrust an arm under the man who lay there. He was a big man; his inert body seemed heavy as a full-grown steer. Blackness swam in front of Rob's eyes as he heaved and strained to lift him. After what seemed endless ages, he got him up. A blazing fragment of the roof flew past him and landed at hi* feet. As he stamped it out, a husky voice at his ear pleaded, “My boy —is ne all right?" ‘Taxe his tegs and don’t waste your breath,” Rob snapped. ‘The whole roof’s going to come down in a minute!” Bearing Fred's weight between them, they staggered toward the door. Rob never knew how they made it, but somehow there was a Aoud-laden sky. grey with the first hint of mbrning, over their beads, and cool air in his tortured lungs. He laid his burden on the ground and straightened up, and heard a rending crash behind him. Turning, he saw that the timbers of the cabin, showing starkly through the flames, were supporting nothing now. The roof was down. “Everybody out?” he demanded. “Yeah," several of the neater* muttered. They were staring at him dazedly. He looked down at old Nate, crouched beside hia son. “Is he all right?” The old prophet raised his head. Tears were running down his seamed cheeks. "The Lord be praised!" he murmured. And then the rains came. • • • Kerry had slept through all the coming* and goings during the first half of the night, but the glare of the fire waked him. With a startled exclamation, he dragged himself out of bed and over to the window. Gripping the sill, he stared with sick fascination at the leaping red line Os light, while hi* mind spelled out just what it nieant for Broken Spur. Now he made out the dark shape of a rider spurring toward the house. One of the crew coming back from the fire—he’d at least be able to learn what was going on. Slowly, holding on to the handrail, he made his way down the stairs. He was just outside the living room door when he was stopped by the sound of a woman’s terrified scream. ITo Be Continued!
