Stan was so wrapped in his thoughts that, hr failrd to see a light flare down in the cabin in which hr had locked Swergin. The big timber boss had been able to open the door and was outside now with a gross torch looking for his gun. man I'sHE main building was a short fifty feet from where Stan was sitting. All at. onee he roused himself. Distinctly through the night he heard a sob. Btan looked about, but could not pierce the blue of the shadows. Then he saw Swcrgin's torch and realized his own danger. Stan backed into the deeper shade and listened. The sobs were plainly those of a Woman. rhoking sobs, as 1 hough the person weeping was trying to keep them back, but could not,. Stan edged along under cover until he was nearer the sounds. He heard Swergin shouting down at Lthe corrals and a minute later sevIcral voices answered. B There was an interval of silence in which Stan strained his ears, but tfailed to hear the sobs that had lirawn him away from his horse. He was about to turn and run to lis mount when he saw a slender | figure pass Asper Delo's lighted kvindow. I The girl vanished instantly in Rhe direction of the front porch, 'but, in the fleeting glance Stan was sure it was Dona who was returning from the little group of spruce trees shading the north wall. Down at the corrals there was commotion. Sleepy voices shouted and saddles scraped along the ground. One rider dashed into the moonlight not 100 feet above Stan. With an easy swing the tail cowboy was in the saddle and heading the black mare back into the timber. He was not thinking about the danger ahead of him in the moondrenched patches of timber or along red walls of stone, lighted almost brilliantly; hp was wondering about the broken sobs he had heard from among the spruce. Nevertheless he put the black, mate to a gallop and headed up the mountain. He had to drop well down on the Pass Creek side to cross a rocky formation that would hide his tracks. Then there was a stream to follow as a further blind. To be caught at any one of these open places would mean instant death from a rifle. Already Stan could hear the pounding of hoofs below and above him. Swergin had sent his fastest riders deep into the hills to head off the cowboy. A swarm of lesser would bring up the rear. Touching the mare's flank with a spur, Stan gave her her head.

( There was little at stake, yet he suddenly had taken new interest In living. • mm THE scene at the corrals was feverish. - Dona ran up the stepsteps to take her place beside Dudley, who had not joined the i hunt. ! She had removed all traces of her I tears of a few minutes before and now eagerly was watching the scene below. "I'd like to go with them, but I'm not. going to." Dudley whispered as he slipped an arm around her. Dona did not reply, but she moved closer to him as though to shield herself from something that might come from the chili night. The last horseman galloped out of camp with thundering hoofs and sounds of shouting came from up the mountain. Shots rang out from the direction of Pass Creek. A fusillade followed from far above. Then all was still. The moon had cleared the highest crag on Folly mountain and the entire slope lay in shimmering, silver beauty. Dona sank to the porch and propped her chin in her hands. So much of beauty, yet such terrible things taking place. She strove to understand it all, but more to understand herself. "Let's stay here. It’s so beautiful," she murmured. "Not for long, dear.’’ Dudley pulled his coat over her shoulders. Dona did not answer. She was deep in wonder at the queer tightness in her heart. She was in a panic, now that she was committed to marrying Dudley, and she could not find a single valid reason why she should feel this way. "Better be going in now,’' Dudley said, and got to his feet. Still Dona hesitated. She looked up, trying to smile. "Just a minute more!" she begged. "The moon hasn't reached that patch of fimber under Folly Peak." CHAPTER EIGHTEEN THE moon had flooded the very last patch of timber on the v upper reaches of Folly mountain. Dudley stood on the bottom step and looked up at Dona. His handsome

THEY TELL ME'JU 1

Doubtful Indiana? BOTH major parties today swing into the final five weeks of the campaign with the Democrats cock-* sure of victory and the Republicans pepless, discouraged, and suffering from headquarters factional friction. Unless the situation is remedied speedily, there may as well be no further campaigning as far as Hoover’s chances for carrying Indiana and thus pulling over the state ticket it concerned. As the situation exists today at the begining of the wind-up, Indiana goes 50,000 Democratic in November —that's the ol’ doctor's prediction and he’s going to stick to it. Ray Tucker, national political observer for the Scripps-Howard Newspapers, who visited the state last week, believes that this column’s estimate is very conservative. He shoots the majority closer to the 100.000 mark. Whatever be the correct figure, of this there can be no doubt —the Democrats at this writing figure to carry the state and win ten of the twelve congressional district.

mouth had widened in a- smile of indulgence. Dona could not see his eyes, be- ; cause of the shadows, but she was sure they; held a flickering banter at her hesitancy. After all. Dona publicly had announced that she was his wife. And she w-as a modern girl—the slender, active beauty who could ride, play tennis and swim, yet who ; could grace a luxurious easy chair j with tantalizing langour. "Hates to give up her freedom,’’ Dudley thought to himself. "I won't give up!" Dona told herself, but she arose and allowed Dudley to slip an arm around her. “We must stop in and see Dad,’,’ she said aloud. Dudley gave her a little squeeze, but Dona pulled away from him. They found Asper awake and apparently waiting for them. I should think you love birds would be freezing!” he greeted them. "We've been watching the moon uncover Folly mountain," Dona said in a low voice and her words sounded strangely tight. "Just a bit of night air,’’ Dudley grinned. "Well, run along now. It's getting late. Time for an old fellow like me to get some sleep." Asper's eyes held a hint of moisture. Dona bent and kissed him. "You're not an old fellow. Dad! And, as your nurse, it’s my duty to take care of you. Is there anything you want?” "Not a tljing. You’re not to bother about me. I’m going to sleep like a spruce log tonight. Won't wake up a single time. ’ Asper closed his eyes and settled back against the pillows. "Well, then—good night.” Dona took her father's hand and gave it a final squeeze. Dudley caught her arm and led her from the room. Outside the girl nalted. Noiselessly she closed the door behind her. "I'll move my things to your room,” Dudley spoke with a tone of mastery he never had dared use before. "You can’t do that!” "Why not?” Dudley demanded ‘We’re married, aren't we?’ ’ You know we're not married,” Dona flushed. ‘We will have to go

A few weeks from now, when it is easier to gauge the ground swell, the entire situation may be changed —but the column stands on its prediction regarding the outlook at present. Tucker, returning from a swing through the west, declares that it is afire with anti-Republican sentiment, and other national observers going west declare the situation to be the same in the east. Several said that Hoover will be fortunate to carry six states. Hoosier G. O. P. politicians have their eyes cocked on the effect of President Hoover’s lowa speech tonight. If by some fortunate chance he manages to make a militant appeal which will click with the infiamed farmer and soothe his hurts, then the tide will start receding—which means that the beneficial effects will be felt by the Indiana G. O. P. candidates. If the speech, however, falls flat, the Republicans may as well fold up and emulate the Arabs who “silently steal away in the night.” f n " Observers passing through commented on the apathy of Republicans’ headquarters over the country and were eager to learn how 'doubtful Indiana” leaned this year. After the situation had been canvassed thoroughly, it was the consensus that the “only thing doubtful about Indiana today is the size of the Democratic majority.’”

Tarzan was pushed roughly toward the hut of the witch doctor. Obebe was there, as he saw after the guards had opened a w-ay through the throng, and he stood beside the fire in the center of the circle. The fire was just large enough to keep two Irons red-hot.

"Well,' you know it now!” She could not keep an edge from her voice. "All right. We'll drive down there tonight.” “You know I won't leave Dad.” The girl felt she was gaining ground. "You won't be able to put this over,” Dudley warned her. mam DONA took a step toward him. "Dud, please be good to me! I know I'm a little fool, but I want everything to be right. You will, won’t you?” He frowned sulkily. "I'm the fool. I guess.” he growled and turned on his heel. Dona watched him go to his

room. He shut the door with a snap and did not look back. She sighed and' again slipped out into the moonlight. In the shelter of the cherry brush at the end of the building, she sank down and gave herself up to her ’motions. A shadowy form on the hillside caused her to make an effort at control. A man was coming toward her. She could see that he was tall and slender. With a little gasp, Dona fled around the corner. She did nott want to return to her room, so she wandered down to the corral. There she found Malloy, silently smoking a cigaret and gazing out into the night. He nodded to her, but did not speak. Dona climbed up beside him and, sat with her chin in her hands. She wanted to ask the silent cowboy a question. It was on the tip of her

! tongue when a man came running down the hill. Malloy did not make a move to get down from his perch though the approaching man was evidently ! very excited. A flare of moonlight splashing I through the uncut spruce revealed ' their hurried visitor. Swergin, hatless and angry, was approaching. "Get out the men. Saddle up all the horses!” he shouted. Malloy did not move, but he did give a shrill whistle that brought j two men from the shadow of a wall, j "Hear what the boss says?" he drawled. * man THE men scattered to rouse the rest of the camp. Swergin halted before the two on the fence. "Get down from there and get busy on them horses!" Swergin bellowed. He did not seem to see Don’a.

let alone one man." Malloy answered, blowing a ring cf smoke out from under his wide hat. ‘lf you don't want to be loyal and help run this murderer, why don't 1 you quit?" Dona spoke sharply. "I reckon as how I will quit one of these days. Yes. soon as I get square with this outfit I’ll haul my freight,” Malloy drawled. "If my father owes you anything, you can get it at once," Dona flared. "I aim to collect when I get ready," Malloy's grin was wide and he tossed the butt of his cigaret far from him. It lay there glowing in j the dew-drenched grass. "Will you saddle my roan for me?" Dona demanded. Her question was punctuated by rifle shots from the slope above. (To Be Continued.)
