Indications are also that Decatur soon will have a suitable tract of land to offer a prospective new industry. There is no doubt in our mind that because Decatur is the hub of a great community, in a short time we will have industrial additions and an ever growing community. All of us must grow with the community and wo have the job of keeping Decatur the best little city in the world. Citizen response to any worthy cause; eplendid schools, good churches and a general attitude of progress go toward making a good community. We have all of these assets and many more. With the successful culmination of the drive for funds with which to buy an industrial site, we will be in command. We can select the type of industries which will fit best into our pattern of progress. The future of Decatur looks bright. Have you contributed to a “Greater Decatur T’

Os interest today to this area’s many college football fans are games between Michigan Stats and Indiana; Notre Dame and Purdue; Michigan and Army, and Ohio State and Illinois. The teams mentioned first in each instance are favored by most sports writers to win. with the PurdueNotre Dame game considered the toughest, and a big ehanee for the Boilermakers to upset. *-—o o The office of County Commissioner is perhaps the, most important post in a county. Adams county is most fortunate in having three men, Harley Reef, Lewis Worthman and John Kinta on the county board. Two of these men, Mr. Worthman and Mr. Kintz seek to serve you another three years. Mr. Worthman, a successful farmer is regarded as a progressive citizen. The fact that he has successfully conducted the business of farming and has sacrificed time to serve on the board of commissioners in such fair, unbiased and progressive manner should be the only recommendation he needs to be elected to another term. Mr. Kintz, in the middle of his first term has been progressive, honest and alert to his many duties. Certainly he warrants another term. The commissioners have many problems. Good commissioners are bound to have differences with selfish groups who do not consider the welfare of the entire county. Often times much pressure is brought for an improvement which would benefit only*! few? You are Invited to study the record of recent years and you will find that the present board has operated fairly and economically. Why even consider a change?

~ CHAPITER » r hadn’t occurred to Oates that there were two young women who made a practice of riding off by themselves on white horses. He questioned Narcissa roughly. "Who are you?” he demanded, and presently, as much from what she did not tell him as from what she had said, he began to understand the picture. He had heard quite a bit of gossip since coming to this country. "It’s all right, Chief,” he assured Man Walks Alone. “She’ll do just as well for our purpose as the major’s sister. Maybe better. She is new to this country, but she is a white woman, and that’s what counts.” “Maybe,” Man Walks Alone grunted. "What you aim to do now?” Oates grinned. “Come along with me, and well ride to the fort,” be said. “I’ll have a talk with the major. You'll like what I have to say.” Man Walks Alone eyed him doubtfully. “If we go near the soldiers, they kill us,” he said. “How else are we going to talk to them ?” Oates demanded. “Well be safe enough, with her for hostage. So far as that goes, when it comes to them wanting to kill anybody, I’m first on their list.” That, as he had counted on, was reassuring news to the chief. At his suggestion, six of them made the trip again today. Oates rode boldly, so as to reach the fort about sundown. He counted on the news of Narcissa’s disappearance having spread. The question then would be what Dolf Kinney would do — or what he could do about it. Certainly he’d take some action, and Oates’ task now was to build up for that showdown. They approached the stockade as the sunset gun was booming across the plains, and made a sudden dramatic appearance, pulling up at a safe distance but close enough for speaking. Oates had taken the precaution of having himself painted up like his companions so that he looked to be just another Indian. “We want to speak to tfhe major,” he called, in response to the sentry’s challenge. “And we’ll stay here while we do title talking. Tell him that it’s important —that it has to do with the lost white girl’’ Presently the major appeared, flanked on either side by McKinstry and Stockett.. “What do you have say?” Blake demanded, and observed what had already been rqported —

that these Indians wore war paint “We’ve eome to ten you that Narcissa Hull is a prisoner in,our camp, Major, and that she’s being held as a hostage,” Oates replied boldly. "How she continues to be treated will depend on what you do.” “He talks like a white man!” Stockett interjected. “No question but what he is one,” Blake agreed. ’Tve heard his voice before—somewhere. I’m sure of it . . . Say what you came for," he said to Oates. “That won’t take long. In the first place, if anything happens to us—to any of us—she’ll suffer for it. That’s just byway of warning. For I know that you’d like to get your hands on me!” “Oates, by heavens!” Stockett exclaimed. The others had recognized him as well. Blake made no reply, and after a moment, Oates went on: "We’re going to take this country back, Major—we Indians. For Cm sure disownin’ my people, same as you disowned me long ago. We’ve got men to outnumber you several times over, and they’re fighting men. We’ve got guns, and plenty of them. We could strike now and wipe out every settler in the country. You can’t win. So our terms are reasonable, everything considered. They are for the settlers to pull up stakes and get out, and you do the same—every last man of you!” “Is that all you have to say?” the major asked contemptuously. “Just one thing more,” Oates returned, and the mockery in his voice matched Blake’s. “If you want to make a fight of it, we’re ready—and there’ll be a lot of whites burned at the stake. And the first one, the minute you start with your army, will be the girl. She'll burn anyway, unless you agree to our terms in the next three days. Your telegraph wires have been cut. The stage can come in, but if it tries to run back, nobody on it will get far alive. Any messengers tryin’ to sneak out will have their hair lifted! And, like I say, soon as you start anything, she’ll burn slow to pay for it!” a a .a There was no particular emotion in the doctor as he sat in the guardhouse, listening to the endless footsteps of the sentry who paced up and down before it, or to the more distant noises of the fort, the boom of the sunset gun, the notes of the bugle as the colors came down. Feeling was in abeyance, and it was as though he were a disembodied’ personality, watching with detachnicnt what happened here. .

He told the welfare workers who were taking him to the home that was going into the rest room. AVhen he did not return, they investigated and the rest room was empty. The boy was seen headed for the railroad and Karl Sprunger, Berne police chief, and Charles Arnold, deputy sheriff, were called to assist in the search. The boy was finally ‘ apprehended by Geneva marshal j Preston Pyle as he headed south along the railroad.

He’d known for some time that this was coming, as inevitable as for day to follow dark. He could go along with Dolf Kinney Just so far, and beyond that there was a line drawn which with honor no man could cross, and it hadn’t taken long to reach j that point of demarcation. Looking back, he had no particular regrets — certainly none for his original act which had brought him now to this place. Seven years ago there had been a colonel in command above him, one of those misfits who oc- . casionally come to power in any organization, civil or military, and are greedy in the use of it. At the other tip of the pendu- j lum, there had been a Junior officer derelict in his duty, or so ' the records put it A man who, worn out by long hours on the march, with hard fighting on top of that had slept at his post That was no new thing, particularly, and in this case certainly not his fault Flesh and bldod can stand only so much. But the colonel had decreed forthrightly that he should stand before a firing squad for his lapse, and about that there had been nothing that Eklund could do. But when the colonel had further ordered that Eklund should command that squad to send a man to untimely death, it had been within’ his power to do something. He had considered it dispassionately, even then. Two years earlier, with the headlong enthusiasm of youth, he had enlisted, and his rise had I id, the action heavy. In that score and more of months, he’d seen overmuch of bloodletting and dying; he’d seen men who belonged to the same race and spoke the same tongue, and who believed fundamentally in the same values, slaughtering one another. It had sickened him, and he’d been determined that, given a chance, he would turn to healing and away from killing. This had been the chance, and he’d taken it without hesitation, not boggling at the price to be paid. His name would go down on the records as a deserter, but so far as the name was concerned he’d enlisted under one not his own, doing so to save heartache at home, where his people had been ardent for the Confederacy. As to the other, he’d been twice wounded and elose to death, and he felt that he’d done his part Let the record and the risk be what they would; he had been resolved in this particular Instance to have no part in the shedding of innocent blood, and that decision he’d never regretted. * j I (To Be Coaimaii. _J
