"Did they get him?’’ he demanded. "They have him surrounded and pxpect to capture him at any minute. The man who brought in the word says they expect a finish fight up at the branch of the Blind River trail.'’ Dona patted his hand S*eassuringly. "They'll capture him.” Asper chewed viciously on his cigar. He had not been allowed to smoke for days and now was making the best of the black stogie the doctor had given him. "I hope they bring him in,” he gritted. “I’m going to ride up a little way and see if I can learn anything more.” Dona tried to speak unconcernedly. "Be careful, D. There is danger with men using high-powered rifles.” Asper was eager to have her bring newsi yet he was cautious. Dona arranged his chair and blankets and gave him a hurried kiss on the cheek. Then she ran toward the corrals. The roan seemed to know where she wanted to go. He struck out toward the saddle that overlooked Blind River at a swinging gallop. His slender rider let him have his head until they reached the Blind River trail, then she headed him south, straight up the mountain. She remembered a high point overlooking the slope from which phe could check the movements of the posse. Why she rode out to watch the hunt was not clear in her mind. She could not get back to camp with news as soon as the men would get in. Something led her to take her stand and watch. It might have been morbid curiosity or feminine instinct. Whatever it was, Dona obeyed it and pulled her mount to a halt on a jutting ledge that overlooked the slopes below. A little meadow hedged in by heavy scrub growth lay at her feet. Farther down the slope she could see men riding around a heavy patch of timber. The ground was rocky and tangled with thick growth and connected with the timber directly below her. Men with rifles crawled from bush to bush, while the mounted men rode in an ever closing circle around the rocky ambush. tt tt tt DONA loosenpd her rifle so that she could get at it handily. She was not sure what she would do

J with it if Ball broke out of the coni necting timber and tried to cross the meadow, but she intended to be ready. Several rifle shots rang out from below as excited men caught glimpses of what they thought was the bandit. Dona settled bark to wait. Suddenly a black horse burst ffc>m the timber just below her. Its rider was bending low over the saddle and the horse was taking the rough ground at a graceful lope. Dona reached doyn and jerked her rifle loose. The rider was too ;far away to be halted, but he was within easy rifle range. Suddenly she remembered, the roan's fear of a gun. She slid /rom her horse and dropped to one knee. The front bead of her rifle steadied and she pressed the trigger. She was not uncertain for a second of the identity of the man escaping from the circling posse. tfe had slipped through their lines and was well on his way to freedom. Her rifle cracked viciously. The rider straightened, then pitched over the side of his horse. He rolled | over twice, lay still. The black horse ran on and halted under cover of the timber. Slowly Dona got to her feet. She felt dizzy and sick. *She had shot a man! The report of her gun would not attract attention, because of the occasional firing from below. With heavy feet she began to de-

ILL grace with which Indiana Republican state headquarters has | proceeded with organization of Hoover-Curtis clubs reflects, probaj bly more than anything else, what jthe G. O. P. generals think of the effect of President Hoover’s name on the voters. Beginning of the organization work came as a surprise to all connected with headquarters. On one day the G. O. P. advisory board met here and went on record . unanimously against formation of Hoover-Curtis clubs in Indiana. The very next day, club organization work was begun. And. strangely enough, Will Irwin, Columbus capitalist, who. as a member of the advisory board, voted against the idea, becomes chairman of the .state clubs. Now it is no secret that Senator James E. Watson did not want Hoover-Curtis clubs started in the state. This was outlined clearly to the advisory committee by Ernest Thomas, vice-chairman of the state committee, and Watson’s representative on the board. Ivan Morgan, state chairman, also said something to this effect. tt a u That is w'hy, when George Kinsley, representative of the national committee, sent here for this very purpose, presented the proposition, it was turned down, even though it was understood that $5,000 would be sent here from national headquarters to finance the undertaking. But, they tell me, during the intervening night something happened I to change Jim’s mind. Some say that President Hoover | phoned his senate majority leader here and told him flatly that he : wanted the clubs formed. Perhaps the President recalled I that, just before leaving Washing--1 ton, the Honorable Jim said that he

scend to the meadow. She had to go to the man she had just killed. The seventy-five yards down to where he lay seemed miles and she moved uncertainly. Dona clung to her rifle and plodded on. Now she could see his jacket through the tall grass. One leg was pulled up in a twisted manner and his arms were flung wide. She almost ran the remaining few steps to where he lay. Dona bent over the prostrate form and her eyes were wide. She was gazing on the face of Stanley Black! Suddenly the dead man came to life. With a lightning sweep, he had her rifle, then faced her. A grim smile drew his lips tight . "You afe a poor shot,” he murmured. "You—you are Ball?” Dona's face revealed more than she knew of horror and disillusionment. tt tt tt CTAN BALL'S eyes nardened and his mouth became a tight line. "And you are my prisoner. I'll have to get you out of here right now!” "I won’t go!” Dona flashed angrily. "Oh, yes, you will go! My worthless hide depends on it.” His eyes were hard and he was not smiling. "You're .wanted for killing.” Dona had not fully recovered from hei first shock. "Just which killing do you refer to? I’m wanted for several.”

was going home to elect himself and mention Hoover as little as possible. tt tt tt Informed by his friends of the manner in which Jim "doublecrossed” M. Bert Thurman and other friends when his self-interest called for such behavior, the President probably decided that, after all, it would be wise to have his campaign in the hands of persons not quite so close to the senior senator. That is explained as one reason why Will Hays, motion picture czar, former state and national chairman and former member of the Harding cabinet, came home to Indiana (as a private citizen) to take a part in the campaign. In other words, President Hoover may have been afraid that Jim might try the same thing on him that he worked on Thurman. You can’t blame the President for being suspicious. After all, the leopard can’t change its spots.

IN “So a Leader Came,” Frederick Palmer, famous war correspondent, suggests that our Constitution is hopelessly out of date and that a complete revision of our governmental structure is imperatively neessary. This book, a novel, pictures the arrival of a dictator who would bring things up to date. Mr. Palmer’s dictator is a young man named Constant Spenser. He is presented as a sort of Lindbergh —a marvelously popular national hero who sets out to reform government and restore prosperity. Spenser runs for President, but is phenagled out of the election by designing politicians, although he gets an enormous majority of the popular vote. So he leads a march on Washington, puts himself in the White House, and gets to work. The result? A six-year term for Presidents, who are to be figureheads like the presidents of France; a party system like that of England, with executive power vested in the prime minister, who has a seat in congress along with the rest of his cabinet; an electoral system like England's; and anew code of laws which ignores most of the old state boundaries and takes the red 'tape out of government. In Mr. Palmer’s novel this leads to prosperity and general happiness. Asa novel, the book is pretty terrible; but as a critique of American government it is highly interesting. Published by Ray Long and Richard R. Smith, the book costs $2.

As Tarzan came nearer his farm he saw a thin spiral of smoke arising at the right of the bungalow where the barns had stood. The ape-man seemed to possess a sixth sense that already pictured to him the scene that finally broke upon his view. t

His tone was mocking. "Move to- I ward my horse!” he ordered sharply.! Dona wept, with his rifle at her back. She knew he was in desperate straits, and that he had nothing to win by sparing her, should i she shout or try to run. Under cover. Stan faced her grimly. The hounds are so close that 1 11 have to take you with me. You have discovered my secret trail.” With little effort he swung her up in front on his saddle, then! leaped up behind her. He tossed aside her rifle as a useless hin- j drapee. Dona shrank from his lean arms, i but he held her close and the; black mare headed through the timber at a speed showing she was fa- i miliar with the trail. Dona bit her lower lip to keep from crying. She would be as strong as he was and as hard! She would ! watch her chance and outwit him! I

They rode on through the timber until they were high under the rim of Folly mountain. Then Stan let her get down beside a spring to rest. The pool of water was cold and Dona drank deeply. When she straightened up, she found Ball's eyes of her face. He was watching her gravely, ftis gray eyes deep and impenetrable. "I suppose you think you can get away with this, just as' you have gotten away with the rest of your crooked work.” Dona returned his gaze with a cold stare. "It makes little difference to me, but I have one score to settle before I let them close in on me." Stan Ball’s lips formeef a straight line as they closed on the last word and his eyes darkened. "I should think you would consider all you have done enough!”

Silent and deserted was the vine covered cottage. Smoldering embers marked the site of the ape-man's great barns. Gone were the thatched huts of his stury retainers, empty the fields, the pastures, and corrals. / u

Dona jerked her booted feet up under her. Stan produced a sack of tobacco and a packet of crumbled papers. Carefully he made and lighted a cigaret. "I have done only what I was forced to do. Now I'm'going to do something because I want to.” tt K tt THE girl tvatched the lean strength of his face. Its hard lines and its soft lines seemed to blend. Balls gray eyes should have been humorous, but they were hard as steel. "You keep your promises just as you do many other things!" She aimed this thrust, keeping her eyes on him while she spoke. "Trying to keep that promise got me into this jam,” he snapped. ‘T didn't expect you to give alibis.” Dona continued her attack.

Here and there vultures rose and circled above the carcasses of men and beasts. It was with a feeling as nearly akin to terror as he hid ever known that Tarzan at last forced lunseli to enter his home.

"Have I offered any excuses?’ "Nor explanations!” "Why make explanations when they will be termed excuses?" Stan Ball got up. "Time for us to move on.” Dona sat still and looked him in the eye defiantly. With a quick stride he was at her side, had caught her up and swung her up before his saddle. Dona did not struggle against his iron arms, but she refused to help him in any way. He leaped up behind her and headed the black mare up the slope. They traveled for perhaps nn hour. Then the black ducked her head and entered a tangle of vines and bi^hes. Dona took note of the trail carefully. They were entering a narrow cleft of rock barely wide enough for the horse to pass through.
