NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTEEN (Continued.) “And you get the same answer as 3wergin—no!’’ Dona turned and walked to her father’s room. nun ASPER was awake and very restless. He greeted Dona with a question as she entered. “Have they got Ball yet?” “No. Dad, but Swergin wounded him and is on his way right now to bring him in.” Dona patted her father’s hand and pushed him gently down on his pillow. “Remember what the doctor told you—no getting into a fret and no moving around until he says so.” “Hang the doctor! If Ball isn’t brought in within the next fortyeight hours, I’ll get up and go after him myself. I have a score to settle with that cow purjcher!" Asper settled back in spite of himself and a flush of pain crossed his face. • "Swergin will bring him in,” Dona promised. " “When he does Ball is to be brought here. Understand? I have a lot to tell that coyote.” Asper Closed his eyes and lay still. Dona sat beside him, a worried frown on her fye. He seemed much worse than when she had left him. She hoped Swergin would bring Ball In and end the tenseness of the situation. Asper drifted into a troubled sleep and Dona walked to the window. Folly mountain rose high above gnd seemed to frown down on the camp. Somehow she did not believe the timber boss would bring Bali in. The man was becoming almost like a mythical character. She had seen flashes of him, had heard the men &y they had seen him, and she was eager to stand face to face with him Her thoughts drifted back over What had seemed weeks ago instead of days to the man who had saved her from the thugs who had kidnaped her. * She wondered if Stanley Black was riding a near range. She would have been glad Jo have gone to him with her troubles just then. • An idea came to her. She would ifide to Blind River at the next Chance and se for herself what the situation was. She could inquire there for Stanley Black. “ This decision made her smile as she thought of Swergin and Dudley. They would both have to be dodged carefully and they would both be angry when she told them where she had gone. Asper stirred groaned and Dona returned to his side. He was muttering in his sleep in angry mumbling tones. Suddenly panic struck at Dona's heart. Perhaps she should take him to the city. But would he go? All &t once she remembered the mar-

CHAPTER FOURTEEN ASPER spent a restless night and Dona was forced to stay at his side most of the time. Toward morning she was relieved by the doctor, who sent her to bed. She fell asleep with an uneasy feeling and a w-ish that she and her

THEY’TELL ME'JU 1

Ring Around the Rosy TF something doesn’t occur soon which will make Republican state leaders settle down and lose that panicky feeling, they might as well close state headquarters for all the good that will be accomplished. Did you ever watch Japanese mice chasing madly around, busy as could be and going ncwhere? Well, that is about the best description of what is occurring at state headquarters every day.. Such a chaotic condition eventually must be reflected in the behavior and attitude of the county and local leaders over the state. About the only thing being accomplished is the appointment of committees. The Republican state headquarters now has a committee on every subject under the sun except in soup kitchens. The speeches sound as if we are going through a boom period, and perhaps, through constant writing, reading, and hearing the great contributions to state papers, they are beginning to believe that there are no soup kitchens. All of which leads to the announcement that another committee has been appointed. This time it is entitled “advisory,” but it's real name should be the "Ivan Morgan defense committee.” V nun a Last week we chronicled the fact that State Chairman Morgan and Senator James E. Watson were not on the best of terms, because the senior senator 1 * decided that although Morgan could hold the title of chairman, the high command should be entrusted to his two faithful adherents, Ernest Thomas and Elza O. Rogers. One of the reasons for this shift of power, it is confidentially told, is that, although Morgan lifed the $30,000 state committee deficit, he did this without digging into his own pockets and has exhibited a great reluctance to set a precedent by shelling out. The only reason that Jim made the state committee elect the millionaire canner as chairman last December was because he thought that Morgan would contribute heavily for the honor. To defend himself against undermining. Morgan has appointed an advisory committee of five, headed by Elza Rogers. nun But Rogers has only one vote. The other members are Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher and prime minister to the Governor. Marshall bears the same degree of love for Watson that the latter has for his pal,” Senator Arthur R. Robinson. It is recalled that Marshall was turned down by Jim in 1928, when he wanted to be national commit-*

Dona blinked at the gayly decked bird for a few moments, then sat up. “Good morning, sir,” she called sleepily. TJie yellowhammer cocked his head on one side, flicked his tail twice and soared away. Dona watched him go and wondered if he knew where Ball might be hiding.

teeman, and, to make the senator’s path a little more difficult this year, wrote a repeal plank into the state platform and discarded the straddler Watson sent here. That’s one anti-Watson vote on the committee. The second is that of M. Bert Thurman, former national committeeman and Watson’s shadow, who was double-crossed by his idol in the Republican Governor contest in June. The third, making an “anti” majority, is Will G. Irwin, Columbus capitalist, who, they tell me, furnished the financial sinews for Claris Adams in 1926, when he contested the senate nomination with Watson. / nun The fifth member is Mrs. Robert Dennis of Indianapolis, who let the world know in no uncertain terms six or seven years ago what she didn’t like about Jim. Which was everything. But perhaps she has changed. Women sometimes do. So out of the five members of the advisory committee, Jim is sure of only one vote for his program, whatever it may be. Evidently the function of the advisory committee is to advise Morgan on how to make it tough for Jim. That’s unnecessary. The voters are doing it.

NEWTON D. BAKER was beyond all question America’s greatest secretary of war. General John J. Pershing had no diplomacy at all, harassed the war department by constantly changing his mind about the supplies he needed, and delayed the advent of American troops on the firing line by insisting on giving them more training than was really essential. General Leonard Wood was not allowed to go to France because Pershing said flatly that he wouldn’t have him, and because the war department felt that he had a tendency to be insubordinate. These, among qther things, are statements of General Peyton C. March in “The Nation at War,” a book in which he recounts his experiences as America's war-time chief of staff. It is, of course, utterly impossible to summarize the book in the space available here. While General March is plainspoken about Pershing, for instance, he is not spiteful or petty and he leaves the commander of the A. E. F. with plenty of laurels; and he makes no effort to destroy any reputations or write any kind of “expose.” What he does is to give an exceedingly interesting account of the way in which America’s army was organized, sent overseas, supplied and directed, and at the end he leaves you feeling that the job was uncommonly well done. His book is published by Doubleday. Doran & Cos., and is priced at $3. STICKERS r# - 1 In climbing to the top of a Kill, a man traveled at the rate of a mile and onehalf an hour.

A Waziri, returning from the village of Obebe, the cannibal, saw a bone lying beside the trail. This particular bone caused him to pause. Usula had heard strange tales in the village, where rumor had brought him in search of his beloved master, Tarzan, the Big Bwana.

This thought roused her to And out if Swergin had made the bad man a prisoner. She arose and splashed in a bowl of cold water. The few hours of sleep had freshened her except for two dark patches on her soft cheeks Just below her eyes. Making a hasty toilet, she slipped into her father’s room. He was sleeping soundly, so she quietly let herself out on the wide porch. No on,e was in sight except Malloy down at the corrals. Dona crossed to the mess cabin and entered. The cook greeted her with a smile and set about shaking down the fire in the range. When he came to take her order, she asked about the hunt. "Did they get Ball?” The girls words were eager. The cook stopped mopping his hands on his apron. “No, miss.

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

Obebe had seen nor heard anything of Tarzan of the Apes. But the Waziri learned that a white man had been kept a prisoner by Obebe. When he verified the time that had elapsed, he knew it could not have been his master and so he turned toward home.

They ain’t nobody set a hand on that boy yet.” “You speak as though you didn’t expect them to catch him,” Dona said coolly. “They'll get him, all right, and likely hang him to spruce up in the hills, but there ain’t been no luck so far.” The cook waited for Dona to order. She ate a hearty breakfast, then went in search of the doctor. She found him with his shirt sleeves rolled up, working on an old man who had a bad cut on the head. The doctor glanced up from his patient and nodded grimly. His little office was cluttered with papers and medical supplies, mostly first-aid materials. “How is Dad this morning” She put the question a little uncertainly.

nnHE doctor straightened. “Your father is all right, but he must be kept from being irritated.’ The doctor pointed to the oh! man. “He mustn't hear about this or anything else conected with this crazy man hunt.” “Did Ball shoot this man?” Dona's eyes began to glow dangerously. “Hit him with something hard. Simms here is the storekeeper. Evidently that young fire-eater came in after supplies and cracked Simms to get him out of the way.” The doctor bent over his patient and prepared to take another stitch. “I’ll see Swergin and Mr. Winters and we’ll fix it so dad won’t be worried about the hunt. We'll tell him we’ve caught Ball, if necessary.” Dona turned toward the door. "That wouldn’t be safe. I know your father! Better tell him you

shot Ball and buried him up in the hills.” The doctor spoke grimly. “Should he be moved out of Three Rivers?” Dona asked the question as though fearful of the answer. The doctor nodded. “Most decidedly yes.” he said without looking up. “Tomorrow if possible.” Dona turne and walked out of the room. She crossed to the office building in a thoughtful mood: She could not tell why she did not want to leave Three Rivers. She had had troubles enough since arriving there and should have been glad to get away, but yet she was not. On the porch she met Dudley. He had been riding and was on his way from the corrals to his room. “How is your father?” he greeted her. “Better, but we have Jo get him out of Three Rivers and we must

keep all this talk about the man hunt away from him," Dona laid a slim hand on Dudley's arm. He patted the hand and looked out across the clearing. Dudley seemed to be taken back a little by this turn of affairs. “D,’ he began. “I am pretty keen on getting this fellow. Couldn't you take your father down and let me come later?” “I couldn’t let you stay and run any risks that would be unnecessary. Besides. I'll need you to help me with Dad.” Dona missed the look of disappointment on Dudley's face. "I believe you're learning to like the wild west,” she smiled. “You bet I am!” Dudley confessed. “Think I'll come back and stay a while.” “I like it, too,” Dona smiled. (To Be Continued.)
