He plainly was agitated bv Sworgln's report, but making an effort, to conceal his feelings. She tried to keep from thinking of the ride yhe had promised to take that afternoon. She thought of Ball and wonderpd if Swergin and his men ever would be successful. Thinking of Ball kept Dona from surrendering to the panicky fear that tugged at her heart whenever she let her mind return to the proposed ride that afternoon. Ball evidently was a hard-riding, fast-shooting type, utterly fearless and a dead shot with a gun. He would be as much at home in the rough country as a wolf and twice ns dangerous. She knew that Swergin and his crew of loggers were no match for surh a man. Finally Asper dropped off to sleep, snoring softly. His age was against him and he had to give in and rest, though he had tried to keep awake. Dona stole softly from the room. She met the doctor at the door and he returned to the porch with her. “Will it be all right for me to be away this afternoon?” she asked anxiously. The doctor nodded. “Yes, but we have to keep that timber boss away from your father until I say the word.” “I’ll see Swergin,” Dona promised. “I’ll be bark tonight,," she addrd. “No hurry. Your father'll be fit, as a river driver in a few days.” The doctor went inside and closed the door. Dona wandered down to the corrals and watched Malloy rope and ride a wild horse. She waved her hat when hp finally forced the snorting, pitching brute to give In to his will. Malloy grinned at her and turned tfle saddle horse over to one of the other men. “Take him out and ride him. He's tame now,” the corral boss ordered. “I suppose you'd saddle the roan for me this morning?” Dona asked the question with a sparkle in her eyes. Malloy nodded. Dona looked at her wrist watch. It was ll o’clock. She would have time for a gallop down the canyon before Dudley returned. “All right - saddle him,” she smiled. Malloy slipped a saddle on the roan and brought him to the gate. “Better watch him, Ma-am. He’s pretty fresh," the cowboy warned. tt tt tt DONA smiled disdainfully and leaped into the saddle. The roan shook his head and went off as though he had not had several days in which to get back his temper. They headed down the canyon at r brisk gallop. She had gone perhaps a halfmile when she discovered a rider trailing her and halted to wait for the man. He came up with her and pulled his horse to a walk.

“What do you want?” she demanded. i “Swergin's orders, miss. I’m to ride i along with you whenever you leave t camp." The man seemed to enjoy Dona's evident flash of temper at his words, “You might as well ride back and unsaddle. I go where I please.” “Sorry, miss, but you are not to ride up on the mountain. Down here is all right." The fellow was of a dull type and seemed to enjoy his present errand. Dona noted that he was not much |at home in t.he saddle. He would j be easy to lose, if she chose. Taking a different tack, she 1 smiled. “Orders are orders. I supi pose we'll both have to mind the big boss.” The man grinned, displaying broI front teeth. “Swergin runs : things up here,” he admitted. “How long have you worked for I him?” Dona asked by way of making I talk. “I was with Swergin before he came on this job.” the man explained. “Him and me’s been pals.” Dona smiled, more to herself than to the rider. “How far is it to Blind River?” she asked suddenly. It would be great sport to give Swergin the slip and ride over the range.

THEY-TELL ME Jkf

‘‘Birds of a Feather —” IF there Is anybody who doesn't like to live in the United States, remember, there are ships leaving New York every day, and they can go to some other country that they prefer.” No. this wasn't said by some illiterate during the era of our war hysteria. It's merely part of a radio speech delivered by Fredeiick Schortemcier, former secretary of state, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor in 1928, and candidate for the % Republican nomination for Lieutenant-Gov-ernor in 1932. In both raees Schortemeier was defeated and if the above quotation is a sample of his political and economic thought, then both the Republican party and the people of Indiana are fortunate that his campaigns for nomination were unsuccessful. It's been years since the 100 percenters have heard the crack about the dissatisfied leaving for some other country and it generally was thought that, this phrase had died with the Klan. but Schortemeier evidently is out doing some missionary work. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for the Republican county committee heads to censor the radio speeches made under' their’auspices, tt tt it Another gem of political thought which exhibited close acquaintance with present conditions was enunciated by Raymond S. Springer, G. O. P. Governor nominee, at the Brazil rally the other night. Disdaining the lesson learned by the “two cars in every gaVagfe 'and a chicken in every pot” speech by President Hoover, Springer said: “Republican success in Indiana and the nation in November is destined to bring a job for every man and more dollars in circulation.” That would sound all light if addressed to a state where there was no unemployment and destitution; or to men and women who* have not had their earnings slashed to the bone. But it has the ring of a ghastly joke when uttered during a time like this. tttttt For the last eighteen months. Republican spokesmen here have

1 “A good twu-hour ride,” the man I answered. The answer set Dona thinking. She wished she could ride over the range just to show the big boss. She wanted to ask about Stanley Black, too. For several days she had been toying with the idea that he would be the man to settle with all. She knew he was in the country and suspected that the boys at the Blind River ranch would know where to find him. A glance at her watch told her that she was half an hour late for her meeting with Dudley. She turned the roan and cantered back toward camp. Her escort followed at a jolting lope. He looked uncomfortable astride his horse, as though he would rather have kept the animal at a walk. Dudley had not returned when Dona arrived, so she did not have the roan unsaddled. tt tt SHE ate dinner and sat for half an hour with her father, but still Dudley did not return. Finally she arose and walked down to the corral. She was highly displeased with

denied that the nation is passing through a panic. It has been called “deflation'' or at the worst “depression,” but for a man seeking the governorship to promise prosperity through four more years of Republican rule, is the height of some sort or other of ignorance. It is certain that none of the publicity men at Republican state or county headquarters wrote either of the above quoted state documents. Nor did they read the addresses before delivery. That is why the speeches are so interesting. They give an excellent insight into the mental processes of the speakers.

A THOUSAND years before Columbus crossed the ocean, the Maya children in Central America used to hear from their elders the story of a great flood —a story, by the way. which begins in a manner strikingly similar to the biblical story of the flood. Long ago, they were told, people were thoughtless and sinful, and forgot to go to the temples or make sacrifices to the gods. So the gods sent a flood to punish them, and the people built a boat to escape. But they made the mistake of building their boat out of stone, and so it sank, and they all were drowned, and after the flood anew and better race of people came to the earth to take their place. This is just one of the bizarre and colorful tales in “The Bright Feather,” a collection of old Maya folk tales by Dorothy Rhoads. Miss Rhoads collected, in the jungle villages near Chichen Itza, a number of the stories which the Mayas used to tell their children, and she has retold them here in a simple, straightforward style. The stories are interesting on their own account; but they also provide an excellent means og awakening a modern child's interest in the romantic story of the lost civilization of the Mayas. And while “The Bright Feather” is presented as a book for children, it is worth the attention of adults as well. At any rate, this one found it interesting. Published by Doubleday, Doran and Company, the book sells for $2.

There was a snapping sound at the prisoner's back as the strands about his wrists parted. A second later steel-thewed fingers fell upon the right wrist of the witch doctor. Khamis dropped the red-hot iron,.*nd screamed, for he saw death in the face of the god.

Dudley and determined to teach him a lesson. Malloy was sitting in the shade, smoking a cigaret. “if Mr. Winters asks for me when he comes, tell him I'll be back some time this afternoon.” Malloy nodded and went on smoking. Dona mounted the roan and rode down the hill. Out of the corner of her eye she could see her escort of the morning riding after her. She kept a slow pace and he soon overtook her. It was apparent that he intended to ride along as a companion. “It will be great fun to ride down through the canyon," Dona greeted him with a smile. “Yeah. There ain't no use of riding up on that mountain," the man agreed. Dona pulled up her horse sharply and a vexed pout came to her lips.

The cannibals had never been certain of the safety of tempting Providence in any such manner as Khamis and Obebe had been about to do. The wrath of the River Devil would fall upon them alii They fell back. Then they turned and fled to their huts.

“Oh. I forgot my camera! I wonder if you'd ride back and ask Malloy for it? I'll wait here.” The escort grinned widely. “Sure, Miss.” He turned his horse around, by jerking on one rein, and trotted back up the slope. Dona watched until he was almost at the corrals. Then she 1 touched the roan with her spurs and galloped around the hill. As soon as she was out of sight she doubled back and headed for ! tfte timbered slopes of Folly Mountain. A smile parted her soft lips as she thought of her bodyguard searching miles down the canyon for her. Several minutes later she saw him galloping down the slope in mad haste. He disappeared into the canyon | and Dona headed the roan for the , place where the Blind river trail cut across the ridge.

Dudley was completely forgotten. At first she had been angry with him for not returning and eager to teach him a lesson. Now as she moved up the steep traif. she forgot j everything except the beauty of the scene. tt tt tt T TER plans were vague, but as she pushed on they began to take shape. She had to admit that the scheme was a wild one and not likely to bear fruit. Still, it might work out. At any rate, it would teach Dudley a lesson. An hour's climb brought her to the saddle in the ridge. True to cow country trails, the Blind River trail wound across the mountain at the lowest point on the watershed. At her back lay the cuttings of the Delo Timber Company, while , below her and ahead lay a great

For them the timber cutters had invaded the ancient range of the cow men. Slopes had been denuded and left to erode. Dona realized as she sat there just what cutting meant to these men who had lived in the open and had known the forests all their lives. Then she remembered the ruth- : less manner in which the chosen scout of those cow men was acting and her lips tightened. “They think they can run us out." she whispered to the roan. “But it takes more than cne lone gunman to do that. I'll see that Dad cuts over this slope if I have to order it done myself!” With a touch of her spurs she
