DUDLEY WINTERS, in love with Dona, agrees to go to Three Rivers and get Delo to come back. Dona goes with him and at their flrst stop Dudley produces a marriage license ad urges Dona to marrv him. arguing that Delo will not go on o man hunt If they do. Dona barely misses the marriage by meeting Ball on his way to Three Rivers. . At the camp. BWERGIN. Asper's tlm- ' her boss, tries to make Dona stay in camp. She slips away from men he has ordered to watch her and rides. She sees her father attacked and shot. Bwergin comes to her rescue. Dudley and Swergtn both warn her not to ride alone, as Ball will attack her as he has hor father Dona goes out again and when she •tars back finds she is followed Her pursuer proves to be Bwergin. who take- her back to camp In spite of the fact that she lashes him across the face. Aspcr is much worse. The storekeeper is knocked out and his place robbed Ball is blamed: Bwergin refuses to keep news of the hunt from Asper and Dona finds him In the sick room. Asper is in a rage. NOW DO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIFTEEN < Continued.) Dona felt relieved and busied herself about the room unty he ordered her outside for a breath of fresh air. "Get outside, young lady, and soak up a little pine and pitch balm and don’t be treating me like an old woman with the lumbago. I feel fit as a cougar right now,” he rumbled. "You’ll promise you won't try to get up?” Dona asked the question In the manner of an order. "Feel too lazy,” Asper grunted end lay back among the pillows. Dona wandered down to the corrals, where she found Malloy sitting on the top pole with his long legs dangling in the air. She greeted him with a smile and rested her arms on the fence. She ■was just tall enough to rest her chin easily on one shapely arm. "How is my roan?” she asked. "He'll be needin' a stiff workout pretty soon. He's feelin’ his oats.” Malloy grinned. "He'll get it about tomorrow morning,” Dona promised. “And don’t you dare ride him before I get down here.” "No danger; I don’t hanker after that kind of treatment right after breakfast.” Malloy pulled up a booted foot -and dug his heel into the soft wood of the top pole. "That critter seems to miss you.” “Swergin will be in with Ball tohight and then I can ride without every one in camp trailing me,” Dona whistled softly to the roan, standing in a shady corner of the corral. The big fellow lifted his head and liis nostrils quivered in answer. “Don’t plan too much on them birds bringin’ Ball in,” Malloy drawled softly. "You seem to think that murderer can't be taken.” Dona’s tone held an edge. “Not alive!” Malloy returned frankly. ( "Ball has turned out to be a bit of a killer and he ain't the kind to be taken by no timber punks with rifles. Ball uses a six gun and meets ’em close in.” “I’m expecting him in with Swergin and nis men,” Dona repeated as tnough to reassure herself. She half-turned and instantly whirled to run up the path. Two men were' riding down to the corrals, while Swergin was mounting the steps of the main building. Dona was sure he was headed for Asper’s room. She reached the Steps well out of breath. Swergin had gone to his office instead of to her father’s room. Dona sat down to catch her breath. She meant to stay right there until the timber boss came out.

Swergin remained (n his office through the supper hour. Dona carried Asper’s tray of food to him and waited while he ate. but the big boss did not come out of his office. Dudley appeared, looking fresh and rested. He sat beside Asper while Dona went to snatch a bite of dinner. She was able to whisper to him to watch for Swergin as she went out. \ Darkness had settled as Dona returned from the cook cabin. There was a promise of a moon in a few hours. She heard voices in her father’s room and ran up the steps. Swergin was standing in the mid-

THEY TELL Ml’iV

Squads, Right! STEALING a maxim from the Republican handbook, which sets forth that successful politics is achieved only through organization, Hoosier Democrats have gone ahead with this work so vigorously that they are amazing their traditional enemies. For years the Republicans have worked on the theory that a party is like an army—that it must be composed of one general, one general staff, ’captains, lieutenants, sergeants, and privates—and in so doing have in the past snatched victory from what appeared to be defeat. The Democrats, on the contrary, have fostered the idea that every precinct committeeman is a general, and these hundreds of generals have followed hundreds of differing and antagonistic plans for campaigns, turning almost certain victory into defeat. That has given rise, here at least, to the phrase that the “Democrats win only when they forget to act like Democrats.” This campaign the Democrats have been fortunate in having for their candidate a Arm believer in the value of party organization. Perhaps Franklin D. Roosevelt is taking a leaf from the Tammany method of building a close-knit and well-nigh shatter-proof political body, but he is taking the lead in this effort in Indiana, at least. b b tt Roosevelt has written a personal letter to every one of 3,691 precinct committeemen in the state, asking for advice as to how to conduct the campaign and patting them on the back for their support. Signing so large a number of letters for Hoosier precinct committeemen is in itself a herculean task. Then imagine the labor involved in doing the same for committeemen in forty-eight states. The letter and the idea back of it shows the talent of the consummate politician. A typical letter contains the following “I am told that you have been honored by your state organization by yous selection as its local representative in your district. . . . "It always has been my belief that, while those high in authority in any political organization get most of the limelight and applause, elections are won by the villihgness and ability of those who deal directly with the voters. Success or failure of our party in electing its candidates is greatly dependent upon the loyalty and efficiency of our county and state committeemen and women, on whose shoulders rests the task of getting voters for our party to the polls.

die of the floor, his feet planted wide. On his face was a stubborn expression, and his massive chin was thrust forward aggressively. Asper Delo was sitting up and he was shaking with anger. CHAPTER SIXTEEN STANLEY BALL thought he understood how a hunted animal must feel. His shelter was a cave high under the rim of Folly Peak where none but the wariest veterans could find him. The trail to this den led through a slash in a great rock wall and was hidden by spring-fed alders and black birch.

"If I should be fortunate enough to be elected, I want s you to know that I will feel it has been due in very large measure to the work of you and your fellow county and state committeemen and women." Continuing in the same vein, Roosevelt writes: "You are a very important part of that state organization. lam sure that all minor differences of opinion within your organization will be forgotten and that you will all work with your state leaders In this matter of electing our ticket, with undivided enthusiasm and whole-hearted loyalty. “I really would appreciate a letter from you, letting me know what issues are being most discussed in your district, what we can do to help and how the situation looks from your very practical viewpoint. You may be sure that your letter will reach me and be read.” “With best wishes and deep appreciation of what you already have done,” he so signs off. Never before has such a stunt been pulled and it is proving to be well worth the effort. Now that’s how organizations are built—Mr. Candidate.

'*W/ HAT HAPPENED IN THE * V MOONEY CASE,” by Ernest Jerome Hopkins, is a complete resume of the progress of America's most celebrated criminal case. It is a book which, by its forthright revelation of calculated injustice, is enough to make your hair curl. I won t call the book impartial —who, on either side of the fence, could write an impartial book about the Mooney case? But a carefully reading of the book makes this much obvious: Those who ,defend the verdict in the Mooney Case will have to do more than call Mr. Hopkins a biased writer. They will have to show that he either has suppressed part of the truth, or deliberately falsified part of it, or both. For the mere statements of fact in the book lead inescapably to the conclusion that Mooney and Billings are in prison for a crime they had nothing whatever to do with. Mr. Hopkins tells the whole miserable story, which is quite familiar to most literate Americans by now; better yet, he gives the background, and shows how it was possible for justice to miscarry as .it did. And he makes this conclusion: That the real tragedy of the case is not the fact that two men were wrongfully imprisoned, but the fact that influential Americans have held that this doesn't rqatter, since the two prisoners are bad citizens anyway. All in all, it’s an eloquent, wellwritten book. Published by Brewer, Warren & Putnam, it sells for $2.50.

What Khamis’ keen eyes had discovered lay at the edge of a small clearing. Moving cautiously nearer he presently identified the thing as a knee. He crept closer and suddenly he gave a surprised start. For what he saw was the body of the River Devil.

There was a little open shelf for his mare and the. cave was fairly comfortable. By using tinder dry and resinous wood, he was abfe to have a fire over which to cook the simple fare on which he lived. He was sitting before a bed of glowing coals, taking stock of the situation in which he found himself. Ball admitted, as he stared into the embers, that if he had known one-tenth what he now knew he never would have come to ThreeRivers to get the lowdown on the Delo Timber interests. He was forced to admit that he was in love with Dona Delo. hopelessly in love with her, and that he could not have her. Love for Dona had made him remain on Folly mountain until he had been branded a desperate criminal and a murderer. Now. even though Dona had not married the

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

young man he saw riding in the lower country every day, he would still be unable to offer his soiled name to her. Ball kicked dirt over the flic and arose. One thing was sure, he had to have more supplies. Carrying his food on a horse without cutting the animal’s speed made it necessary for him to forage often. Then, too, there was the trouble encountered in getting the supplies. He had to steal them. Ail the way down the mountain he studied these bitter problems. He was half decided to turn himself in and take the consequence, which he knew would be a first-class lynching. The moon was not yet over the rim of Folly mountain and Ball could move at a fair pace through the blue gloom. His black mare was invisible as ink and as silent es a panther.

The River Devil lay upon its back, one knee flexed. Placing his-spear-point against the naked brown chest, Khamis prodded. The Devil did not awaken. He was not asleep, then! Nor did he appear to be dead. Khamis knelt and placed an ear above the other's heart.

He rode to the edge of the clearing above the camp and dismounted. Tying the mare in a thicket, he moved swiftly toward the lights of the buildings. B B B THIRST the commissary was paid a -T swift visit. Stan had worked a board loose from a back window to gain ready entrance. Within fifteen minutes he had secured what he needed while Old Sims sat in the front of the store nursing his bandaged head. Stan smile to himself grimly as he took a last look at the bandaged* figure up in front. Caching the food, Stan moved along the dark side of the main building. He was looking for a particular room, drawn by a force that he could not resist. He knew the room, but found it dark. Further along the wall were

In his heart Khamis did not really believe in River Devils. Still, there was a chance that there might be such things. But, too, it was the abductdr of his daughter. That thought filled Khamis with rage and also with courage. He must force the truth from those lips.

; two lighted windows. Stan edged toward them. The nearest window was open and he was able, by flattening himself against the wall, to look inside. The scene within the room was a tense one. Dudley was standing in the background. Dona sat on the foot of her father’s bed, trying to quiet him. Asper Delo was as angry as that day in his office when Stan had faced him. A guilty feeling crept over Stan. He was the cause of all , this. He had done it himself. Asper was fairly fuming. "That j confounded Swergin! He’s lettin’ Ball mak# fools out of all of us. He’ll let that dirty gun-toter shoot jup the whole camp. I’m going after 1 him myself!” "Now. Dad, be reasonable! You’d be no match for a man like l Ball.” Dona was almost in tears.

“I’m sick and tired of being cod 4 - ; died because of a little puncture in the shoulder. I’ve packed more lead without even lying down than that skunk ever saw!” Asper roared. Dona leaped to her feet. She j reached into her dress and pulled out a stiff paper. "Dad. please listen to hie.” With a rumble Asper settled back j against the pillows. His lips were white and he was shaking. “Dad. Dudley and I have been saving a secret for you. We are i married.” The words slipped from her lips almost tonelessly. BUM DUDLEY aroused himself with a jerk and came forward. He seemed unable to speak. Asper took the paper without a word and unfolded it. He stared at ; it for a full minute before he spoke.

The witch doctor quickly bound the River Devil’s wrists. It was an hour before the River Devil opened his eyes. ‘ Where is Uhha. my daughter? - ’ demanded Khamis. The River Devil made no reply to Khamis’ questions. It was as though he had not heard it.
