He threatened Hmd badgered them, but they reported little progress. Asper was sitting in a porch chair on the third afternoon. Dona perched on the top step looking away into the blue of the mountain peaks. She was eager to be astride the big roan and out into the hills. It ♦ seemed to her that even Swergin was afraid to meet Ball and have it out with him. Asper stirred and spoke. "You'd better break away and take a ride," he suggested as though he had read her thoughts. “A canter down the canyon on that flrerating roan would do you a heap of good." Dona smiled fondly up at her father. "You won't worry?" "Not a bit. Just promise to stay trtvay from the breaks and from the Pass creek country.” "I promise.” Don% arose and •planted a kiss on his cheek, then ran to her room to slip into riding clothes. Down at the corral Malloy was eager to ride with her, but she refused his offer, saying that she was Just out for a canter and not in any danger. She rode at, a jog-trot across the clearing and into the timber. Her pulses quickened to the beauty of the day and she forgot for the motinent that Polly mountain was a place of tragedy and that she had Jwpd to see vengeance done In ese woods. She trotted the roan uptil she me to a forest service trail sign, read "Blind River Trail." Dona halted and sat looking up the dim uathway. •“The sign set her to thinking of fflie strange feud between the cattle interests and the timber company. Her reverie was broken by the crashing report of a high-powered rifle. * Dona whirled the roan about and listened. Down the mountainside came the clatter of a horse’s hoofs. The rider was, without doubt, coming down the Blind River trail. Dona felt for her carbine, then remembered she had not brought It. The roan snorted and champed to ,be off. Dona let him out a little tond they swung down the slope. The horseman behind continued to pound along, but now he was at her right and still under cover. Dona urged the roan to a faster pac but could not pull away. She called a range "Hallo" but there was no answer. The unseen rider now was leading the roan and seemed to be trying to head her off. realized that she would have set her spurs and sprint for it or Rhe would be caught.

WRIGLEY’S^ Y^uUM KEPT RIGHT IN CEUOPHANE

CHAPTER THIRTEEN AS the realization came to Dona that she was not armed, she setk her spurs deep into the roan's flanks. She would give her pursuer a race he would remember. The roan flattened his ears and leaped away. Dona did not try to guide his powerful stride, nor did she pull in on his bit. Her lips were parted and her eyes sparkled with the zest of the run. Down through the young spruce the roan thundered, his steel-shod hoofs showing loose stones from the trail. Dona could hear her pursuer racing along through the secondgrowth timber on her left. He was riding a good horse, because the roan was sprinting at a terrific speed, but was not pulling away. The rider on the left edged ahead, then suddenly burst from cover and cut in upon Dona. As he swung to grip her bride reins she gavea gasp of surprise. The rider was Winter Swergin and

“Aginners” to the Fray Overconfidence and not the efforts of the Republican organization is the great danger threatening a Democratic victory in November, according to W. A. Julian, national comrpitteeman from Ohio, who conferred with Indiana party leaders Tuesday. The Maine victory and the upset in Wisconsin are not the unalloyed pleasures to the Democratic party chieftains which many believe. Julian declared that the reaction to the Maine election and the Wisconsin primary is viewed with alarm at national headquarters, because of the "we're a cinch to win" feeling permeating party ranks. “The greatest danger is that millions of men and women will feel that the election is in the bag and consider it a mere waste of time to go to the polls in November. "Local organizations will not exert the effort needed to bring out this vote and because of overconfidence victory may hang in the balance. This is worrying us in Ohio as well as the national chieftains in New York,” Julian said. n n n No fear is expressed concerning the regular organization vote which goes to the polls as a matter of course, but the negligence by millions of independent voters must be averted. And this is noted here in Hoosierdom. Very little election talk is heard on the streets or where people congregate. There apparently is little enthusiasm for Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic nominee, and still less for President Hoover. And this is worrying leaders of both major parties. A general sullenness is prevalent. You can’t persuade a man who is sullenly beyond the reach of persuasion. Ordinary political arguments and appeals pass quite over his head and leave him unmoved. And this sullen group is in the main composed of the men and women unaffiliated with any party. ■n n a It was this same class which, swayed by the propaganda of a superman, swarmed to the polls in 1928. Today, evidently satiated with the

he plainjy was angry. Dona felt a blush of color mount into her cheeks as she met his eyes. What right had he to stop her? Swergin pulled the roan to a panting halt. "Didn't I tell you not to ride out of camp?" he snapped. "Just when did you start giving me orders?” Dona was suddenly very angry. Swergin jerked the roan’s head up. “I'm taking you back to camp,” he stated grimly. “You are not! lam returning to camp when I get ready.” Dona's temper was roused. Swergin apparently had ridden out simply to bring her back. If there had been any apparent danger she might have gone back with him. but his attitude seemed unreasonable. Swergin sensed her objection. ,# You heard those shots?" Dona suddenly remembered the rifle shots and nodded. She was still angry, but she wanted to know who had done the shooting. "I came upon Ball. He was trailing you. We had a little argument

usual obvious political claptrap and glittering phrases and promises, they are "aginners.” The tribe of “aginners” is a great one. i In 1928 it was the independent voters "agin" Alfred E. Smith because of prohibition and religion who elected Herbert Hoover. That this vote was one of opposition is best shown in Indiana by the wide disparity in the Hoover and Leslie vote. They were “agin" the latter. Now, trained in the "agin” habit, and realizing its efficacy, these same independents will, it is this column’s solemn belief, vote, for Roosevelt. Not because they like or admire him. The Democratic candidate, as far as they are concerned, doesn’t even have to make a speech. They will vote for Roosevelt because they are 'agin” Hoover. And that is why Democratic leaders should realize the importance of getting the independent voters to the polls.

A HANDY device for the man who wants to get a clear picture of the evolution of the earth and the life which it bears is being offered now in ‘‘The Histomap of Evolution,” by John B. Sparks. This, instead of being a regular book, is a large-sized specifes of map, or chart, measuring when unfolded some four or five feet in length. It portrays on a neat time scale, the manner in which the inanimate earth developed, the times and circumstances in which life first appeared and the way in which the life stream, eddying and swirling in a turbulent, seemingly hit-or-miss fashion, finally presented mother earth with the human race. The divisions charting these developments run, roughly, in parallel columns, so that you can see just what happened when, and how it was related to developments in other spheres of activity. Furthermore, when the chart reaches the era of organized human society it charts the development of the different races and nations of men. In the main the chart is based an accepted historical, geological and archeological findings. It impressed me as a useful and informative thing for the man who wants to have a simple, understandable guide to th- perplexing mazes of pre-history. “The Histomap of Evolution” is offered by Rand-McNally for sl.

with lead." Swergin's lips twisted into a half snarl. "Did you hit him?” Dona asked eagerly, her anger forgotten for the second. 'T have winged him. He went out of the picture right now. Next time I’ll drill him clean." Swergin's little eyes lighted up queerly. "We'll have to go back and find him," Dona spoke her decision. She wanted to see Ball and this seemed a fine chance to capture him. “I'm taking you back to camp. Then I’ll come out and finish the job I started.” Swergin pulled up on the roan's head and made as if to start toward camp. nan DONA'S anger flared up again. “We’re going to bring that man in! , You act as though I were incompetent or a child.’’

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

* Further than that the huge creatures could not go. For two days Tarzan, no larger than a Minunian, mado his way through the thorns. At night he slept in the burrows of burrowing animals. During the second night he awoke with arrange feeling creeping over him.

With a jerk she freed the roan’s head and set him back on his hind feet. Swergin leaned far out of his saddle and with one huge arm swept Don clear of her saddle. With the other hand he cut the roan smartly across the hips with his saddle quirt. The horse snorted and leaped away and Dona found herself swept to the saddle in front of Swergin. Her struggles did not disturb his solid balance in the least. Grimly he pushed hLs horse down the trail, while Dona choked dow r n her wrath and kept silent. There was little use in arguing with the big timber boss. They rode into camp and up to the wide porch in front of the main building. Dudley came running down the steps as he saw them coming.

He held up his arms to Dona, but she slid to the ground unassisted. Like a flash she whirled upon her uninvited rescuer. Her blues eyes blazed black and she swung the light quirt that hong at her wrist. With a wicked snap she slashed out with it and struck Swergin across the cheek. The rawhide lashes on the quirt left purple welts across his wind-hardened skin. Swergin did not move a muscle, but his eyes hardened. Slowly his lips pulled into a grin. "You're a little hell-cat when you can’t have your way," he said slowly. Dudley, who had stepped back at Dona's sudden action, crowded close to Swergin's stirrup. "What have you been up to?” he flared.

—By Ahern

It was pitch dark in the burrow. Suddenly the thought smote him that he might be about to pass through the ordeal of regaining his normal stature. Already he felt dizzy. He stumbled to his kneea and clawed his way up the steep acclivity thA led to the surface. ,

OWERGIN bent low and his grin vanished. "If you had any brains or any sand you'd watch this kid and keep her out of the timber. I ought to plant one right on your pretty nose! You need something I to bring you around.” Dudley opened his mouth twice, but he was too angry to speak. Dona pulled him back. "We're going inside. Dud. I’ll settle with this fellow later.” Swergin bowed and rode away ■ without any trace of concern. Dona i unable to control herself, burst out. ! "He acts as though he owned the works of Three Rivers.” I would have taken a punch at him, but he has been of service to | you and your father.” Dudley grinned. "Boy, you're a knockout when you're mad, D!” Dona halted just inside the door. ; She held Dudley away with one

hand while she smoothed her wtndruffled hair with the other. Her anger vanished rapidly and she joined Dudley’s laugh. "I guess I’ll have to take it all , back and be nice to him. But the way he bosses me around makes me furious. We owe him so much ! I will have to take it. I guess. I’m j sorry I slapped him." "Slapped?" Dudley screwed his mouth into a comical twist. "Don't ever slap me!’’’ "It didn't even make him flinch.’ "What was the beginning of all this?” Dudley demanded. "Swergin caught our bad man, , Ball, trailing me and wounded him. 11 wanted to stay and help him capj ture the outlaw, but he packed me j home." Dona explained briefly. “I agree with him. From now on ! you stay in camp!" Dudley tried to appear masterful. (To Be Continued.)
