DUDLEY WINTERS loves Dona. He agree* to make Asper give up the wild idea of going to Tnree Ri ers and running Ball off the company property. Dona goes with him, They find a man hunt In progress, with Bali as the objective Asper is wounded badly from ambush but can rot be kept In bed Dudley produces a marriage ceriflcate that they had been prevented from using by Donas being unsure of herself % They tell Asper thev are married. " Ball overhears this announcement, while in for food. He is caught by SWERGIN. Asper s timber boss whu has been a leading figure in the hunt. Ball Is taken to a cabin while Swergin goes out to gather a mob for a lynching. He surprises his captor and escapes. A wild hunt, takes place. Dona goes down to the horse corrals to wait the return of the bandit. The men bring in one of their own party wounded That night Dudley insists on Dona marrying him in reality. She agrees to do it the next day. Dona gives Swergins man the slip and rides toward Blind River, where ** ahe hopes to find Stanley Black and anlist his aid. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE DONA rode down the Blind River trail at a brisk trot. She had undertaken a mad adventure and was enjoying it, knowing that soon enough she would have to return to realities. She would have to spend her time humoring the whims of Dudley Winters and she must see that Asper never again should go back into the wild country. She was free for a day at least. One more day. As she drank in the fragrance of the balsams, Dona told herself that now she would be able to ride Mown to Seth Doby's place and be married that night without the fear that had been with her for days. A big rock jutted out almost into the trail and Dona was admiring its red pillars when two men rose from behind it. They were armed with

Contract Bridge

W. E. M’KENNEY, Secretary, American Bridge League AT a bridge tournament you often may hear a pair remark, “well, we were in the right spot on •that hand.” Arriving at the correct declaration, and putting in a bid that will throw the opposition on the right track, is the favorite pastime of Mrs. Dorothy Rice Sims. Mrs. Sims was one of three wom•n to participate in the Individual Masters’ event this year. While her reputation has been gained with psychic bidding, it by no means is the foundation of her game. She received top score on her bidding of the following hand.

i rifles and by their dress she knew | them to be timber men. It was evident that they recognized her as they made no move to halt her. Dona wondered how many of Swergins men had been lying along the trail and she suddenly realized that grim warfare was on in the hills. She pulled up the roan and called to one of the men. ‘Do you work for Asper Delo?” The taller of the two grinned sourly and his reply was short. “We work for Swergin of the Timber Company.” Dona touched the roan and moved on. it was evident that Swergin was the Delo Timber Company in the region about Three Rivers. While she was halted talking to the men, a figure moved from behind the far end of the rocky ledge and melted into the forest. Dona did not see this figure, nor did the two slow-witted guards. On down the slope the timber closed in upon the trail and made it a bridle path along which a rider could barely pass without being brushed by the overhanging needles. The trail twisted and turned, taking the easiest course and avoiding the biggest trees. It was such a trail as a wise old range cow or a mule deer would make in crossing the range. Dona rode easily and a did not push her horse. She was wrapped in the spicy silence and did not want to hurry. A little clearing opened before her. It was carpeted with columbine and lupine, with here and there a gay orange daisy. Dona pulled the roan to a halt at (he edge of the tiny garden and held her breath. A bit of heaven!” drawled a soft voice at her elbow. a tt u DONA started apd turned in her saddle. She was looking into the shadowless, gray eyes of Stanley Black. His horse was hidden in the foliage beside the trail, but his

Many players now would overcall with two clubs, but what is the real advantage in North’s hand? It is in having the hand led up to, rather than through. Mrs. Sims realized that with her holding there was not a probable game in clubs; therefore, rather than disclose this club holding, she bid two no trump. East passed and South, who did not feel that his hand was suited for no trump, due to the doubleton club and the doubleton diamond, bid three spades, as his partner’s overcall of two no trump did not deny spades necessarily. Mrs. Sims again refused to disclose her trump holding and decided to try for game at no trump, and therefore bid three no trump, which became the final contract. The Play East had the opening lead. Without a club bid by North, he has no reason for not wishing to open his fourth best club, so the three ol clubs was led. It was now an easy matter for Mrs. Sims to make four no trump, which was the best score made on tthe board. If she had bid her clubs and then later gone to no trump, East might have opened a diamond and then the best that North and South could do on the hand would be three no trumj>—and that would require two finesses.

head and shoulders "were in the open. At a glance Dona realized that Black looked leaner and harder than when she had met him in the city. “Mr. Black!” Dona checked further exclamation. “It is beautiful, isn’t it.” “The bHde rides alone into Paradise Valley.” There was a hint of banter in his eyes. Dona flushed, then smiled. “I came over the mountain to see a friend.” “You should receive a royal welcome.” Stanley Black's eyes showed the admiration her slendsr beauty had aroused. “Do you think that friend would help me?” Done put the question with her gaze on the lupine across the clearing. “Beyond the question of doubt, he would.” Stanley bent over the saddle horn and pulled a pine needle from a branch. “He has a way with him,” Dona smiled, “that is not always nice.” “What does he do? I can’t imagine any man not being nice—” Stanley halted as though suddenly remembering something. • “He runs away after he helps me. ’ Dona met his eyes frankly. Stanley Black laughed, not too clearly, but rather with a tinge of bitterness. “He is a fool,” he said slowly. “But he would help me again, don’t you think?” Dona felt her heart pounding against the soft cloth of her jacket. She was sure he must see it beating. “He would, I am sure.” Dona leaned impulsively toward nim. “I am in a peck of trouble!” “If you’ll ride a little off the trail, we can sit and talk,” Stanley suggested. He pushed his black mare into the open and Dona followed. n an THE spot Stanley selected was a nook behind a slab of stone. It was shaded by towering Englemann spruce and far down from the trail. As he rode at her side Dona noted that his chaps were worn and scratched, as though from pushing through brush and undergrowth. His big hat was frayed at the edges and he wore no glove on his right hand though the left was encased in buckskin. When he halted in the secluded spot he faced her and smiled. “Cowboys riding black horses need to be careful in these hills,” His bare hand was resting on his hip with his long fingers just touching the butt of a heavy colt. Dona returned his smile, “Lumberjacks are dangerous fellows to have loose, aren’t they?” "Mostly a bunch of dum fools,” he replied in all seriousness. Dona realized as she noted the seclusion of the spot that she should have been trembling with apprehension at being alone with this strange young man in such a place. Instead of fear, she felt a sense of eagerness and trust. She slid from her horse and sat down on a mossy boulder. Stanley swung a worn chap clear of the saddle horn and sprawled at full length on the grass at her feet. He shoved his wide hat back and carefully selected a grass stem to chew. “Now we will see what can be done.” He gazed at her in open admiration. “You know about the trouble over at Three Rivers?” Stanley nodded. “We just have to get rid of that man, Ball. The men are hunting him, but they never can get him cornered. Do you know him?” Dona watched Stanley’s face. Not a line had changed except the corners of his mouth. His eyes looked at hers for a full second, “I know him well,” he said simply. “He must be a hardened killer,” Dona went on. Her troubles were coming back to her and she did not notice the man’s eyes cloud and his lips tighten. "He is a pretty tough hombre. He’ll always be an outlaw, I guess.” Stanley twisted the wisp of grass and broke it in two.

“Do you know him well enough to

get him to leave Polly mountain?” Dona put the question eagerly. Something in Stanley Black's manner made her sure he could do just that. M a TIE looked at her little boot for a -*■ space, then raised his eyes. He knew that he was going to do what she asked though in leaving the mountain he would be deserting a cause that was almost won and he likely would be taken or shot down as soon as he left the fastness of the high country. Swergin had posted him in all the surrounding country and he was a marked man with a price on his head. “Yes. I can do that.” He sat up suddenly. Dona bent toward him and her firm little arm touched his sunbrowned elbow. With an effort, he

pulled away and got to his feet. Dona stood up. facing him. Something in her eyes sent a seething fire through him and his head whirled. Setting his teeth hard he backed away a step and a twisted smile came to his lips. “I am pleased to be at your service, Mrs. ” Dona flushed until she was irresistibly beautiful. His words brought her back to her present status with a jerk. “Winters,” she finished lamely. She held out her hand impulsively. “You have done so much for me!” Her voice choked up and her eyes grew moist. Stanley cleared his throat. The situation was becoming dangerous and he knew it. “I must go now,” he said and turned to the black mare. Dona mounted slowly and followed him back to the trail. He re-

mained under cover while she rode away. The roan had carried her to the top of the ridge before she was able to piece together all she had felt. If he had only made a move to take her! But he was not that kind. He thought her another man’s wife. She glanced at her watch. It was 3:30 and she would be back in Three Rivers in time to go down to Sam Dean's with Dudley. Dona felt suddenly as though the world had ceased to be a sun-shiny place. The pines looked cold and dark.
