"I happen to be sitting up tonight," she said flatly. "I happen to be deciding these things for you!" he stated, and began to untie the scarf that was knotted loosely about his throat. CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN ASPER DELO waited impatiently for Dona to, return with news from the posse. He was impatient because he feared that, even though the bandit was surrounded, he might escape. When she did not come, Asper tried to stand up, and found that he was much more able to walk than he had thought. About 4 o'clock Dudley came riding across the clearing. He looked as fresh as though he just had -.stepped out of a barber shop. Asper glared angrily at him as he ewung down from his horse. / "What's doing up there? Where is Dona?" Asper spat, out the questions. It was relief to take his impatience out on someone. "The men are milling around, but they haven't captured or killed any one yet.” Dudley flecked a spot of dust from his trousers. "I haven’t seen Dona. I should think she’d stay in camp! Tills is a mans business.” Asper exploded with a roar. "You take it pretty smooth, don't you? You don’t seem much worried about her! You'd better be looking around and showing some life!” Dudley backed down two steps before this broadside. "Why, she can’t be in danger!” he argued. "Not in danger? You complacent fool! She may be in worse danger than from a bullet!” Asper got up from his chair and reached for a heavy cane that had been placed near him to use in pulling articles within his reach. "Easy, sir! You'll do yourself a lot of harm!” Dudley advanced to the top step again and lifted a warning hand. Asper smashed the heavy end of the cane down on the porch floor and bellowed. "Get out of here! Go And your wife!” Dudley backed down to the bottom step. He would as soon have put a foot on the porch with an angry lion waiting for him as to step within reach of Asper’s cane. "I tell you there is danger!” Asper sank back into the chair and mopped his forehead with a .red silk handkerchief. "I’ll ride right out and fetch her in,” Dudley promised. He was about to reach for his saddle horn when Swergin came thundering around the corner of the ( building.

THE timber boas was dusty and his face was streaked with perspiration. He leaped from his horse and lumbered up the step*. Something In his manner made Dudley and old Asper both come to attention. “What’s the matter now?” Asper grunted, half afraid to ask. "What's up?” Dudley cut in. "Your wife's horjje, the roan, came in with an empty saddle about an hour ago,” Swergin gritted. "And Ball?” Asper was on his feet, the heavy cane forgotten. "He got away clean. Sneaked through the lines.’’ Swergin mopped his forehead with a grimy hand. Asper remained speechless for a full minute. Dudley pulled at the handle of his quirt and stared at Swergin. "What in Sam Hill did you let hpr ride out for?” Swergin almost shouted. “Didn’t I give orders?” He halted before the look in Asper Delo’s eyes. "I'm taking charge of this right now! Get me ten good men.” Asper rumbled. The rage had left his voice and it was hard and cold now. Swergin opened his mouth, but it was Dudley who spoke. "You can’t do that, sir. You’re not able.” “Not able?’’ Asper’s eyes measured Dudley Winters. “I’m more able than you fools!” He took a step toward Dudley. “Get out of my sight. Look at you—as slick as a button after being out chasing a killer like Ball all afternoon!” He advanced toward the steps. “Get me those men and come along yourself." he snapped at Swergin. The timber boss retreated down the steps and headed for the corrals. Dudley mounted his horse without a word and trotted the animal down toward the corrals. Wrathfully Asper watched him go. “A fine son-in-law you turned out to be!" he muttered. "Riding down to the barns when you ought to be raring into the hills this minute.” He sat down on the top step to wait the coming of the men. Swergin got a crew together in a short time. Asper checked the men over as they lined up at the foot of

Interesting—ls True TO Rudolph Leeds of Richmond, publisher of the magazine Resolve, should be awarded, without question, "They Tell Me's" grand prize, a beer recipe, for evolving the mast novel idea for gauging the political trend. According to Editor Leeds’ figures. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt will carry the new Tenth congressional district by a majority of 17,585 votes on the basis of the straw vote which he conducted in every county of the district, except Decatur, Shelby and Rush. Leeds bases his compilation on the assumption that the total 1932 vote will approximate the 1928 figure. Shift in party allegiance, whereever evident, is estimated on a percentage based on the total vote. This mean percentage was arrived at by an actual poll in the Twentyseventh preejnet of Richmond, normally overwhelmingly Republican. This precinct four years t.go gave Smith 92 votes, which is 30 per cent

the steps. Dudley was not with them, but he had expected that. "Ball has made off with my daughter. “I’ll give SI,OOO cash for her safe return and another SI,OOO for the body of that dirty coyote—dead.” His eyes traveled coldly over the men. Swergin slid from his horse. “You’d better stay in camp," he said, gruffly. “Get me a horse! I’m taking charge and I’m going along. You"! take orders from me!” Swergin turned alx>ut abruptly. “Get the boss an horse,” he growled. m m m ASPER found that he had trouble in mounting the horse that was brought for him. but he gritted his teeth and climbed into the saddle. He was about to ride out at the head of his men when the camp doctor came running across the street. “You must let me bandage that shoulder if you’re going to act like a fool,” the doctor snapped. Asper looked the medical man over with a baleful glare. He seemed on the point of sinking his spurs and riding over the slender medic. At last he slid from the saddle and growled deeply, “Get it done in a hurry!” The doctor bandaged the arm and shoulder tightly. He said nothing, but it was plain that he thought his boss the most irresponsible lunatic he had ever attended. Asper pulled his wool shirt back over the bandages and mounted without asking for any advice from the doctor. He faced the men and gave a short order. “Ride after me!” With those words he struck out at a gallop in the direction of Pass creek. Swergin rode at his side in grim silence. He had been in the saddle the better part of the day, but he still was untired and he looked as grim as Asper himself. They rode deep into the timber in a zig-zag course. It was Asper’s plan to pick up Ball's trail and to track him to his hiding place. He

of the total cast; and Hoover 207 votes, or 70 per cent of the total. nun The house to house poll conducted by Leeds recently showed 162 votes for Roosevelt, or 73.6 per cent of the total, and 58 votes for Hoover, or 26.4 per cent. The same precinct, in voting on senatorial choice, cast 130 votes for Frederick Van Nuys and 64 votes for Senator James E. Watson. Using these percentages as a basis, Leeds polled normally Republican precincts in various counties of the district and so arrived at the following conclusions: Decatur county will give Roosevelt a majority of 551; Delaware, 1,540; Fayette, 1,657; Henry, 4,868; Randolph, 618; Shelby, 2,782, and Wayne, 7,451, Hoover, however, will carry Rush and Union counties by majorities, respectively, of 988 and 894. And it is important to remember that not one of these counties was carried by Smith in 1928, and when the new district was set up by the 1931 legislature it was presumed to be Republican until the next gerrymander. n n n In making his tabulation, Leeds took the percentage of loss in Hoover votes compared to his 1928 vote and added it to Smith's total, which, he declares, will show the size of the vote to be accorded Roovevelt. In 1928 the counties comprising the new Tenth district gave Hoover 81,439 votes and Smith 40,998. Then, if Hoover, according to Leeds’ figures, loses 30 per cent of his 1928 total, which is 24,431 and this is gained by the Democrats, who also will hold the 1928 vote cast for their ticket, Roosevelt should carry the district by 17,858 votes. Carrying the idea along, Leeds points out that the state in 1928 cast 526,691 votes for Smith and 848,290 votes for Hoover. If a 30 per cent switch, as indicated by the straw votes, is averaged in the ninety-two counties, 254,487 votes will be added to the Democratic total this year and Roosevelt will lie given 781.178 votes and Hoover 593,803; making for a Democratic majority of 177,375 votes in the state.

forged ahead at a killing pace, the steep slope cutting the wind of his horse and dropping out two of the less powerful saddlers. The others were streaked with lather when ho finally called a halt. Not a sign of a fresh track had they crossed though they had , ranged from the lowest ravine to the rim* of Folly mountain. mm* SWERGIN sat on his horse with a grim smile on his lips. "You ought to be satisfied now that you can’t pick up that bird's trail. You just have to waylay him.” "We have to locate his hiding place.” Asper’s voice was weak from the strain of riding. “You’ll never do it this way,” Swergin was squinting into the sunset, as though figuring the hours of light they had left.

No change of expression crossed his grim and stem-set features as he strode across the room and stood beside the little couch and the inanimate form which lay face downward upon it. tiki

“How '"ill we do it, then?” Asper was desperate. “Let the men spread out and each go after that SI,OOO by himself. You ride back to camp and take a rest for an hour." Swergin slapped the neck of his trembling horse. “There ain’t no animal living can stand climbing on a run. You’ll just kill all our best horses.” Asper knew the timber boss was right. He nodded his head, admitting defeat, and turned his horse down the slope. “Go after him and get him! My offer still stands.” The men spread out and each took a different direction. Asper did not look at Swergin. He rode away with a dejected droop to his shoulders. This was the breaking straw. Bal hacf taken toll that was beyond his powers to meet. He gladly would

have surrendered on any terms the ! cowboy offered, had Bail been able to talk to him at that moment. Swergin doubled bach down the trail. He rode slowly and in a manner that showed he knew where he was going. He kept along the rim in a downward direction. After riding for perhaps a mile, he dismounted and examined the ground in a dense growth of aspens. With a grunt he straightened up and squinted at the sun. He had found the tracks he sought, but the light was fading fast. He would have to take up the trail in the morning. It still would lead where he wanted to go.

No tears dimmed the ape-man's eyes as he looked upon the still, silent thing that had pulsed with life and youth and hope. For a long time he stood there, looking down upon that body, charred beyond recognition.
