BEGIN HERE TODAY STAN BALL. *n Hernt for cttl Interest*. ;ee* ASPKH DELO tn his office. Aper Is accused of kilim* men sent to check his timbering activities at Three Rivers. Ball announces he is making a personal check Delo says he personally will see that he does not make the check. Leaving the office. Stan saves a girl from kidnapers. She proves to be DONA DEIXX Aaper's daughter When Stan learns her name, he tells her he is STANLEY BLACK and slips away. DUDLEY WINTERS, in love with Dona, agrees to go to Three Rivers and bring Asper back. Dona goes with him and at a little ranch place on the wav Dudley puts a plan of marriage to Dona, hoping ahe will take this plan of getting Asper Delo to return She agrees, but holds back when Btan Ball, on his way to Three Rivers, steps out of the night and klssea her. At Three Rivers they meet BWERGIN, Aaper's timber boss, and he says he is ready to kill Ball, that Ball shot a ranger. Dona decides to ride In the hunt for Bali. She catches a bad horse and has to try to ride him to keep up her pride. Dona rides the roan. Swergin tells her she must not ride without a guard as Ball is a killer and Is at large She slips away and rides toward Pass Creek, where she has been told not to go. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TEN PASS CREEK canyon led down on the south side of Folly mountain. A rugged rim divided the creek country from the timber lands of the Delo Timber Company. None of the pine or spruce had been cut in the canyon and the trail was narrow, twisting in and around great trees and close under frowning walls. Dona pushed the big roan as fast as he could travel with safety. With reckless disregard for her own safety, she kept to the trail. In the back of her mind lurked the idea that this man. Ball of Blind river, would not attack her unless she discovered him or his hiding place, which she was sure would be high up among the towering rocks, possibly a cave with a view of the valley. The canyon widened into a meadow and she could see a mile ahead. The roan lifted his head and snorted. Dona scanned the trail with alert eyes. Close to the edge of the timber a rider was skirting the open meadow. Dona touched the roan with her spurs. The rider was her father. Her mount leaped ahead, but before she could enter the open Asper had vanished into the timber at the far side of the meadow'. Dona thundered across the open grass land, eager to catch up with him. The going was rough now but the roan took it with the sure-footed ease of a cow horse. He swerved and his powerful forelegs struck out like flashing streaks of light as he dodged around the grass hummocks and spring spots. Dona swayed with him in perfect rhythm. Her hat was gone and her brown hair flowed back from her forehead. They entered the timber at the far side of the meadow and she could see her father plainly as he slid from a clump of aspens to the cover of a berry thicket. He vanished from sight around a jutting shoulder of rocks, but she was sure she would overtake him when she rounded the turn. Suddenly the roan leaped sidewise and tossed up his head. Dona cast a fleeting glance at the ridge above. She fancied she saw a flash of black in the higher timber parallel to her course. It made cold chills run up her spine and she bent to pull the carbine from beneath her stirrup flap. With the rifle across the saddle and ready for instant action, she plunged along. Beyond the shoulder of rock she caught a second glimpse of black. This time she was sure it was a black horse galloping along the rim above.

KEPT RIGHT IN CELLOPHANE

Its rider seemed to be crouching low over the neck of his mount and urging the horse on. In the brief moment that she saw him, Dona was sure of his horse and of his cowboy attire, but he was too high above her for her to recognize him. a a a PANIC gripped her. It was plain that the man above was not concerned with her at that instant. He was pushing his horse to head off her father. Dona strained her eyes to catch a glimpse of Asper,' but the dense growth held him in its green fastness. She sank her spurs into the roan’s flanks and he responded with his last ounce of speed. Branches lashed at her face and rocks flew from beneath the hoofs of the horse. She bent low, with the rifle bouncing against the saddle horn as they plunged into the wall of brush ahead. The trail was but dimly marked, yet the roan seemed to know it. Crashing through the brush, Dona pulled her horse up with cruel sharpness. She could see her father ahead in the open. Facing him was a cowboy on a black horse. Both men had swung broadside and, were pulling Iheir rifles free. It was plain that < they intended to shoot it out. The man on the black had all the advantage, for he had ridden out prepared to shoot, while Asper Delo had been taken by surprise. Asper was struggling with his gun, which seemed to have caught in the trappings of the saddle. Dona forced the roan to a dead

THEY, TELL ME JU

He Laughs at Splinters DON'T be surprised if within a few weeks when the Indiana Anti-Saloon League issues its list of dry-indorsed candidates, the name of Senator James E. Watson heads the list of the state selections. The straws all blow that way, and if anything else was needed to show that Senator Jim is angling for the bone-dry approval, his Muncie speech Thursday night accomplished that. Making a patent bid for a spot on the Anti-Saloon League slate, Watson said in discussing the prohibition issue: “In this hour, we must preserve the gains we have made.” * It wasn’t so long ago that Jim was denying the existence of any gains, but now that there is a chance to get slated, he climbs astraddle the fence.' 1 He tells the wets he is for a referendum, and the drys that he is for “preserving the gains.” a a a In the same speech, Watson made a play for the vote of the bonus advocates. Seeking to support Hoover, he reiterates that he voted against the bonus in the last congress because the country couldn’t support Such a financial burden; and, in the next breath, he declared “your soldiers boys will get your money, and I voted twice for the bonus.” And while he is assuring others that he is opposed to the payment, a group of ex-service men attached to his cause, through self interest, are going’ about the state telling veterans that “Jim will vote for the bonus when it comes up the next time.”

stop and her carbine flashed up. The roan saw it and plunged. Here was something she had overlooked. She had failed to try her horse with a rifle. The roan was certainly gunshy and panicky. Someone had carelessly fired close to his head and ruined him. Dona struggled to swing her rifle around and bring it down upon the black horse. The shot was a long one, but she had to take a chance. Then the roan cut loose and began bucking. With grim anger Dona let the rifle rattle to the ground and reached for the saddle horn. She fought the roan savagely and without giving him a chance. This was no time' for showmanship. This was a desperate tand with her father's life at stake. A rifle cracked and Dona caught a jarring glimpse of her father as he ■ pitched from his horse. A second shot sent his mount staggering away, evidently wounded. Dona saw the black horse rear up and strike air as its rider pulled it around. The man’s wide hat and dark chapps flashed once and he was gone. a a a Furiously Dona fought for mastery of the frantic horse beneath her. The roan had lost all reason in his fear of her rifle and plunged until his mouth was drip-* ping with blood and his sides lathered. Finally he landed stiff-legged after a mighty leap and Dona knew she was jarred loose. Her grip on

What’s the answer and what can be believed? If Watson was sincerely opposed to the payment and said so, -that would be one story and would be in accord with the beliefs of outstanding economists, but instead of taking a determined stand on this, he is attempting to straddle. The miracle is that after years of fence straddling, the senior senator is able to sit down without feeling the splinters.

X'SODg A DAT BY BRUCE CAJTQN

Reed Harris, the Columbia university newspaper editor who was fired for lese majeste, or something like that, last spring, speaks his mind about the American university and intercollegiate football in ‘‘King Football.” Here is a book that is measurably less good than it might have been, but that nevertheless is a valuable and interesting bit of work. Its value is lessened by the fact that Mr. Harris frequently scatters his fire, and also by the fact that he betrays his personal animus a bit too frequently. However, it is a forthright and candid discussion of the evils that have betrayed college football—and we are far from having a surfeit of discussions of that type. Mr. Harris bluntly declares that a sordid materialism grips American colleges and universities today and that football is merely a symptom. He asserts that professionalism, with its attendant evils of proselyting, ballyhoo, brutality and hypocrisy, is rampant, declares that the average football player despises the idea of getting an education, and condemns alumni organizations, university presidents, and the fraternity system with equal vigor. His book may be overdrawn and a trifle hysterical—but it will take some answering. Published by the Vanguard Press, it retails for $2.

Jim, Joe and Dan played three games of marbles. Jim lost the first, which doubled the marbles of Joe and Dan. Dan lost the second, which doubled the marbles of Jim and Joe. Joe lost the third, which doubled the marbles of Jim and Dan. At the end they all had the > same number of marbles, but Jim had lost five in the course of play. How many did each have in the beginning?

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

All about them was a horde of hideous Zertalocolols. One by one they were snatched from their mounts, and the pursuers galloped away, Talaskar, WTithing in the N grip of a she-Alalus, turned toward Komodoflorensal. "Good-bye!” she cried. "This, at last, is the end!”

the saddle had given way and she prayed this would be his last plunge. Instead, the roan shot upward again, twisting and sunfishing as he went. Dona’s arms were weakened until she could no longer hold his head up. As he came down, she knew she was to be thrown. The saddle met her as he settled back and instantly she felt herself hurtling over the horse's head. • She landed sitting up, and opened her dazed eyes to find herself gripping two fistfuUs of grass. With an effort she staggered to her feet and looked ahead for her father. She saw a still form lying in the tall grass 100 yards down the hill. Limping painfully, she ran toward the spot. Bending over her father, sobs choked her throat. Asper had fallen on his face and had not moved.

With shaking hands she turned him over. His face was white and his lips parted in a blue line. When she moved him. he groaned and tried to move, but his eyes did jiot open. Dona tore at his packet and pulled it open. A red stain met her gaze and she began to rip away his shirt. She found a ragged wound high in the shoulder. It was bleeding proi fusely and would have to be bandaged at once. Suddenly she became calm and her white face took on a look of grim determination. She would settle | with Ball of Blind River and her settlement would be cold lead. She made a bandage from the - tom shirt and twisted it tight with i a stick until the blood ceased to seep through the cloth. •Dad, Dad! It's D!” she spoke 1 huskily. They were the first words

she had uttered since bending over him. The timber king continued to groan, but he did not open his eyes. Dona began examining him for bruises and found one at the back of his head. Asper had landed in a bad way and had suffered a severe shock in addition to the bullet wound. Dona held his head in her lap and began to take stock of the situation. Ball would be lurking near. He was a man who would take an unfair advantage, that was plain, and it made her position more dangerous. Dona got up and laid Asper's head in a hummock of grass. Her own body was racked so that she could scarcely walk, but she struck out in search of her carbine. At every step she expected to hear a gruff voice commanding her to halt,

but only the scolding of a squirrel broke the silence. a a j SHE spent twenty minutes hunting for the carbine, and was finally successful. With it under her arm and ready for Instant use, she returned to her father’s side and slumped down in the grass. Then she tried to think what she should do. She was alone and both horses had disappeared. Asper weighed 190 pounds and his weight would be the weight of a helpless man. She slipped her arms around his shoulders and tried to lift him. The best she could do was to raise him from the ground. To carry him was impossible and she cast about for another plan. Rising, she tried to walk high ground in hope of sighting one of the horses. She stumbled along, feeling very

‘ Put me co ;n!” he signed, "and tell your people to put down all of my people.” Instantly the great creature set Tarzan gently upon the ground and signaled his fellows to do the same. One wotnan hesitated. He leaped toward her, spear raised, and she set Talaskar down.

J small and weak. On a high knoll ! she halted and surveyed the trail -up the canyon. There was no trace j of a horse as far as she could see. Slowly she retraced her steps. She ! did not dare leave her father for long. He might regain consciousness for an instant and she wanted to be at his side if he did. She had a clutching fear that he ; might be only conscious once. The sun already had left the meadow in the canyon and the air | was beginning to chill. Dona felt j in her pocket for a match. She found none and began to ! search in her father's clothes while he continued to groan and seemed to be straining to move. Not a I single match did her search reveal ! and Dona came to the despairing realization that he had packed his i match box with his cigar case in a 'saddle pocket. (To Be Continued)
