He calehes the car and saves DONA DELO. Asper's daughter. When he learns who she is. he slips awav aftar telling her he Is STANLEY BLACK. DUDLEY WINTERS, in love with Dona, agrees to get Asper Delo back off his wild trip to Three Rivers if she will marry > him. She gives him some encouragement. Dona goes with Dudley. They stop at SETH DOBY 8 place. Doby refutes to help Dona, hot sava Asper ha* been there and that he was ready for a killing. • Dudley puts a plan to Dona. She la to marrv him at Doby'* place. Asper hardly can go on a man hunt under those circumstances. Reluctantly, Dona agrees Dudlev has a license, obtained the night before. While he is seeking a man who can marry them, Stan Ball, on his wav to Three Rivera, steps out of the night and kisses Dona. Dona says she can not go through With the marriage and puts Dudley off. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER FIVE (Continued) ‘‘ln a week we’ll be back on the sidewalks and can get in out of the sun,” he reminded her. “It I have to subsist on steak and bacon and eggs I'm going to do a real Job of it.!" But he took her advice and topped off with a second cup of black coffee. “A week?” Dona smiled archly. “You are sure of yourself, but you Jorget Dad." "Oh. we’ll settle that today,” Dudley assured her. He had made up his mind to handle Asper Delo If he had to rope him and stuff hfm into the rumble seat. “In that case we’ll be back in a couple of days.” “You forget that we have agreed upon a honeymoon in the cow country.” Dudley smiled assuredly. “We did—if—!” Dona met his eyes, and her own were wide and deep and told no secrets. Dudley applied himself to his cofree. “Why do folks on ranches where there are thousands of cows use canned milk?” he grumbled as he gazed upon the black liquid In his cup. “Ranchers never keep milk cows,” Dona explained sweetly. m a a IN the lobby Seth Doby met them warmly. He noted at- once that Dona had made a decision that satisfied her and decided to wait until she approached him again before he spoke. It was plain a moment later that she had taken him at his word and would not ask him for help. She stopped up to the old register and laid a $lO bill on it. Seth Doby .pushed the money back. “Asper Delo’s folks never pay board here. Miss Dona.” Dudley started to insist, but Dona folded the bill and returned it to her handbag. She knew the law of the west and its rules of hospitality. If Seth Doby had not rebuffed her the night before, she would not have offered to pay. As it "was, she knew she only would offend the old cowman if she pressed the money on him. “Ride up our way and stop In while Dad and I are there," she smiled. Seth looked at her calmly for a moment. Then his watery old eyes twinkled. “May do that very thing -soon as the boys ketch up Old Prince,” he said. Dudley thought he noted a queer something in the way the man spoke, but dismissed it as a quirk of the westerner, a type new to him. Thfy loaded their bags on the back of the roadster, filled the tank With gas and swung off up the road,

which now had become little better than a trail. The miles slid by and neither spoke. Dudley was watching the sharp curves and the bottomless canyons that dropped sheer below the door of the cat on his aider He was not accustomed to such a narrow road or one that skfrted such heights. They roared up a steep hill and Dona halted the car. Below them spread two valleys, one on each side. Dona waved a gloved hand to the right. “Three Rivers,’ she explained then pointed to the left. “Blind River country.” “What a sight!” Dudley breathed amazed at the size and ruggedness of the wilderness spreading before them. “Timber down there.” Dona pointed toward Three Rivers. “And cattle down there,” she nodded toward Blind River. “How do they get along together?” Dudley asked, more to keep her red lips in motion than for any information he expected to get. “They don’t! That seems to be evident.” Dona stepped on the starter and the roadster swung off

THEY-TELL ME Jk?

Maine Reactions NOW that a week has passed since the voters of Maine decided to make a little political history, it is possible to gauge the reaction and speculate as to what effect the Democratic victory there has upon the Indiana situation. Just because a thousand miles separate Hoosierdom from the stern and rockbound coast is no indication that political reverberations there do not mean something*here. The political seismograph is the most delicate of all indicators. It’s all right for state Republican leaders, headed by “Promising Jim” Watson, to smile and dismiss the upset in Maine with a mere wave of the hand. That’s just part of the game. But it doesn’t mean anything. If you have watched the papers, you no doubt noticed that Ivan C. Morgan, chairman (in name only) of the Indiana Republican organization, immediately issued a reassuring statement and then called in district and county leaders for a couple of pep sessions. If those were enthusiastic meetings, Just show me a wal^e. tt tt M Two reactions, however, must be recorded. The first is that it has made many Republicans, officerholders, leaders, and candidates who were lethargic in their endeavors, realize the seriousness of the outlook. It has inspired many to get out and do a little pitching instead of sitting in the Moorish room at G. O. P. headquarters and admiring the carvings. The second foctor is the danger of overconfidence, which such an upset creates among Democrats. Cocky as the Democratic leaders were before the Maine election, they are even .cockier today. tt tt The history of American politics for the lasfr sixty years proves definitely that the Democrats win only when they forget to act like Democrats. Republicans always have won because of organization. Democrats always have lost because each pre-

to the rijht, nosing down into Three Rivers valley. A dim trail angled away to the left toward Blind River and Dona noted that there were fresh horse tracks on it. CHAPTER SIX 'T'HE dusty roadster slid down off the divide and entered a dense stand of pine and spruce. The green fastness of the forest was in strange contrast with the dry valleys behind. The road was -rutty and Dona had to slow their pace. After winding down hill for a mile, they came abruptly to a slope that was cut clean of timber. “They sure disrobe Mother Nature proper when they cut timber,” Dudley observed. Dona frowned. “I didn't know the government allowed clean cutting, ‘ she observed. Suddenly she remem - bered Seth Dolby's reluctance in olfering help to the Delo interests. She was sure her father could not have given such orders. The slope was cut clean of everything. They drove slowly over a ridge and

cinct committeeman and every professional Democrat was a general in his own right. In fact, that party has, in the past at least, been organized like the Mexican army, one private to every dozen officers. It is going to be interesting to watch the manner in which Hoosier Republicans take the Maine lesson to heart; and the way in which the Democrats subdue their natural exuberance and buckle down to organization work. ' Can they do it? That’s the question.

“npHE Red Castle Mystery” by H. C. Bailey brings back to us one of the most pleasing of all fictional detectives—Josh Clunk the shady criminal lawyer of London, who sucks lemon drops, sings hymns, disseminates and atmosphere of dreadful villainy, and solves the most fiendish mysteries. In this story Mr. Clunk goes to call on a client —a “fence” for the London underworld —and finds him murdered. That wouldn’t be so strange, if the murdered chap didn’t have a bottle of leeches and a book on ancient religions lying on his desk at the moment, and it all sets Mr. Clunk thinking. The upshot is that he goes off to the vicinity of Luel Castle and thwarts the horrible designs of a gang of blackmailers on the life of the Earl of Luel, aged 10— not, however, without finding that Scotland Yard was convinced that he himself was at the bottom of everything. This is a first-rate mystery yarn, and you’d better put it up at the head of the list. Mr. Bailey's most famous character, of course, is Reggie Fortune, but Mr. Chunk seems to me much more engaging. The way in which he constantly manages to stand with one foot on the side of law and order and the other in the underworld is especially pleasing, and there , are moments in which you find yourself wondering if maybe Mr. Clunk isn’t the archvillain of the piece, after all. Published by the Crime Club, the book sells for $2.

At dawn the six fugitives, crossing a lofty ridge, saw below them a broad plain. Shortly after sunup they made camp, knowing they were secure for the time being. Orathaxe went out and snared a number of quail while Tarzan speared some fish.

found themselves almost tn the timber camp of Three Rivers. Sheds and houses of unfinished lumber lined the road while at the far end of the little settlement stood a large building, set back in the only grove of trees left standing. Dona headed the roadster toward this building.. Bearded men gazed after the car and smiled as it passed. Several waved their slouch hats. With a gripping of brakes, the car came to a halt. “This is headquarters, hotel and lodge of the Delo Lumber Company.” Dona explained as she opened the roadster door. “Get ready for the fireworks.” Dudley leaped over the side and stood waiting on the bottom step for her to lead the way. She moved rapidly, as though eager to settle something that had been troubling her.

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

They slept until afternoon and then took up their flight again. Toward night, Komodoflorensal and Zoanthrohago found a camp site, but Tarzan saw nothing of advantage in it. “Perhaps they are going into the trees,” thought the ape-man. ,

A wide door stood open. Dona stepped inside with Dudley close behind her. The room they entered was large, had a big fireplace at one end. It was plainly a lounge room for the officials and bosses. Along the north wall three doors led to offices. a a a THE room was empty and Dona crossed rapidly to one of the doors. She almost had reached it when it opened and a big man with broad shoulders and a thick neck stepped out. He surveyed her without a word for a full five seconds. Then his big mouth spread in a grin. “Miss Dona?” he rumbled. “Your Pa said he half-expected you. Said to tell you he was out hunting.” “And you are Swergin?” Dona did not like the appraising way the big man looked her over from her trim boots to her dusty and windblown

hair. An employe of her father should show more deference. “Yes, I'm # the boss up here.” He let his chest fill out and his narrow eyes twinkled. “This is Mr. Winters, Mr. Swergin,” Dona presented Dudley, Dudley grasped the huge fist that was thrust at him and almost danced as Swergin clamped down. “Pleased to meet yuh,” the timber boss growled. Dudley could ohly nod, he was so busy rescuing his hand. Swergin gave his attention at once to Dona. He smiled widely as he shoved a chair out for her. “Your pa is sure on the warpath, Miss.” “Are you sure he is not here?” Dona fixed the big man with a cool stare. ‘‘Naw, he's out gunnin'Swergin laughed until the rough - sound rasped on his listeners.

How enormous these trees seemed because cf his reduced stature! “I will go in first,” Komodoflorensal said, standing at the mouth of a large hole. It was the mouth of a small animal burrow. The prince, with drawn sword, crawled into the opening.

ff “Why did you let him go?” Dona demanded. Swergin considered this amusing and laughed again. “You can't stop the big boy when he gets a notion.” Noting the look in Dona's eyes he leaned toward her and thrust out his chin. “But I'll take care of this business just like I’ve been taking care of it for three years.” “What do you mean?” Dona asked sharply. Swergin's little eyes made her skin creep and she felt almost as though he hast placed his rough hands upon her. “You pa can hunt, but when I get set I'll ride out and shoot this guy down in his tracks.” Swergin snapped his jaw and doubled one enormous fist. “Why shoot him? Let him take all the notes he wants to. This is

' government inspected cutt'n.” Dona was beginning to b angry. The flush that mounted in her satin cheeks seemed to spur Swergin on. “Sure I'll shoot him down. Only yesterday or the day before he killed Gil&te the government ranger. Shot him in the back with a high-powered rifle. “I'm the law up here and I've posted Ball up here. Dead or alive, but double bounty dead.” Swergin get up and stood before Dona.” •'This ball must be a tough guy,” Dudley put in. Swergin aswered, but he did not pay any attention to Dudley. “He's one of them two-gun cowpunchers who thinks a lumberjack is easy pickings.” (To Be Continued)

“Why is he doing that?” Tarzan asked Zoanthrohago. ‘‘We will spend the night in the underground chambers of the cambon,” said the wizard, “safe from attacks of the cat or the lions. It would be better were we in it now, for it is at til's hour that the gigantic lion hunt*.”
