NOW DO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT DONA sat huddled on the stone couch, her jacket pulled around her and her eyes blazing. ‘ Take one step toward me and I’ll—!” Dona's words tumbled out in an angry torrent. • "Scream?” Stan was smiling now. ‘ I'll do more than that!” “You might let me have one of the. blankets from that bed. There are five on it.” Stan stood with his hands on his hips, a wicked light in his gray eyes. "Help yourself.” Suddenly Dona realized that she had been making an unnecessary fuss. Her anger did not abate, however. She had been fooled and that in itself was an insult. "And there's a trick combination 'to the bed.” Ball went on. He took a step forward and Dona arose. He bent and whisked a blanket from the cot. then opened the others at thp top. ‘‘You crawl in at this end. If a. pipe needle from the mattress sticks through, you reach carefully down and pluck it out. I never have had more than four bother me in one evening.” His eyes were very serious. Dona refused to join the spirit of Jest. She. kept remembering that she hated this killer and that she wanted to see him suffer. Stan took his blanket and it into a little roll. "You may turn the light down and blow it out,” he said as he turned toward the opening. ‘‘Good night.” Dona refused to answer. She was sitting on the bunk, thinking deeply. The scraping of Stan Ball s boots died away outside and the girl was forced to believe that he had gone. She got up and walked to the entrance. Ten steps down the stone corridor showed her what she wanted to know. Her captor sat with his back against the cliff, his long legs stretched out across the entrance.' He was smoking, drawing in slow, rdeliberate draughts of smoke and letting them curl upward of their own fancy. The black mare stood with her muzzle against his arm. n h tt DONA watched this silhouette for a full five minutes, then she crept back to the bunk and lay down. She had to admit that Ball was a complex person. His lean jaw, his steelly eyes, and his tight mouth spelled all that she knew him to be, but there were times when the lips took on a halfsmile and the gray eyes lighted deep down. The hunted, challenging wariness of his manner was the telltale trait * that marked him for what he was. Dona had met Ball’s kind before. Her musings led her nowhere and she fell to planning how she could

escape. Getting up, she examined the supplies. There was enough water for another day and possibly enough food for three meals such as they had eaten that night. Dona made up her mind to play Ball's game and see If he would not slip away on a foraging expedition. She returned to the bunk and slipped off her boots and jacket. Without hesitation she slid into the bunk and snuggled down. She thought with grim satisfaction that she would spend a mutjh warmer night than her captor. The cave was high up on the rim and the night would be cold to the point of frost. Out at the entrance of the cave, Stan Ball sat and berated himself for taking Dona prisoner. It had been a wild fancy, a decision of a second's consideration. He always was making them and afterward paying for his blunders. All he could hope to do by this step was to rouae the posse to renewed vigor and add more men to the already overrun woods. He deliberately had lessened his chances of escape.

THEY TILL ME JU

Opening Guessing Season Receptions ayorded Paul v. McNutt, Democratic Governor nominee, when he made his whirlwind tour of five rallies in eastern Marion county Thursday night give some cdlor to claims for recordbreaking Democratic majority on the big Chooseday. Contrasted with the comparatively cool welcome offered his Republican opponent, Raymond S. Springer, the ol’ prophet almost is tempted to agree with some of the extravagant claims. But as time tempers judgment and all the complex angles which go toward making the,Marion county political scene are analyzed and studied, it doesn’t seem wise to get unduly enthusiastic. There is talk of a Democratic majority of 50,000, and they tell me that some of the boys have laid money on the line to this effect, but what’s the old, old crack, about a fool and his money? Yet, if any one came up to this observer and absolutely made him take a free guess, he might go so far as to*say that the Democratic STATE ticket (get that—state ticket) will cop the county here with about 25,000 to spare. I’m ducking—don't throw anything. nan As was said before, the receptions accorded McNutt were amazing. When a candidate gets to a rally at 11 o’clock at night and finds the hall overflowing with voters, waiting to hear him, it gets the observers to wondering. And if there is any greater strain or bore than to sit through three hours of political spellbinding, you tell me. The estimated Marion county Democratic majority of 25,000 may be greater than that, or smaller. There are several reasons why' it may not be less than that figure. The principal Democratic drawback is the fact that Harry O. Chamberlin, the Republican nominee for circuit judge, overshadows his opponent, Earl Cox. Democratic leaders recognize that Cox is their Achilles heel. Repub-

Butthe made him feel most guilty was keeping the girl overnight In the cave. On the way up the mountain it had seemed an excellent way to arouse Dona's husband from his complacence and | force him to realize that he should be more attentive to such a wife. Now Stan was not so sure all this would work out as he had intended. Winters might turn out to be the wronged and enraged husband. / a u u HE tossed aside his third cigaret and arose. Patting the black mare's neck, Stan walked to the edge of the shelf and looked down below. His cave rose like a little balcony above* Pass creek. Down in the canyon he could see lights moving and the night breeze carried the rumble of machinery to him faintly. Stan watched the scene grimly, almost sadly. He came back and made a bed in the mouth of the cave, away from the chill wind of the upper hills. And he slept soundly, his six-gun tucked undff his leg and his hat laid across his face. Daylight was an hour old before he woke. Sitting up, he listened

lican managers are just beginning to wake up to it, but George V. Coffin. G. O. P. boss, is so bitter in his animosity toward Chamberlin, who never has bowed his head to the scepter, that it appears as if the wraps have been put upon the Republican spellbinders. n n To offset Cox. the Democrats have a number of advantages. Their legislative ticket is the best balanced in years, and every man on it bears the liberal stamp. Despite the hullabaloo arfd misinformation concerning the tax situation, the city administration is conceded to be one of the finest in the history of the city, and devotion to the public good by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan is unquestioned. And this attitude of the public toward the city administration should —they tell me—and will be reflected in the vote. Well that 25,000 figure opens the guessing season. As the campaign gets closer to the jump-off, the entire county situation will be analyzed to see what changes in sentiment have occurred.

7TBCDR A DAY BY BRUCE CATTON

Gold in them hills - ’ tells the story of the last, and one of the greatest, of America's gold rushes. C. 8.. Glasscock, the author, has written just the kind of book that ought to be written about a gold rush—breezy, colorful, and deeply humorous and at the same time authoritative and carefully documented. He tells of the great gold rush that hit Nevada shortly after the beginning of the century—the rush that made boom towns of Tonopah and Goldfield and dotted the barren, picturesque Nevada mountains with a score of short-lived and tumultuous mining camps, and that added hundreds of millions of dollars of yellow metal to the world’s wealth. It all began when a lone prospector, camping in the mountains, lost his mule. Going to find it, he stumbled on a ledge where a rich vein of goldbearing rock came to the surface. In a short time, the rush was on. The incredible commonplaces of the gold rush get zestful telling in Glasscock's book. We read about men who became millionaires on SSOO investments; about mines so rich that the pick and shovel gang in the shafts carried out in their pockets enough ore to make them wealthy; about the eastern capitalists who sunk' hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a town over an utterly nonexistent copper mine—and so on, through a colorful and fascinating collection of stories that will make any reader sic up nights. “Gold in Them Hills’’ is published by Bobbs-Merrill. It costs $3.50.

Stan smiled a crooked smile and j retreated to the bench outside. He was sitting in the sun when she finally made her appearance. "Good morning,” he greeted her, without moving. She gave him a cold sure and ; flexed her arms. Stan got to his feet and faced her. ‘‘We’ll.retire to the breakfast! room at once.

She sat down on the slab and watched Ball prepare breakfast. j

For a moment he had hoped against hope that the blackened corpse was not that of his mate. But when he salr and recognized the rings upon the last ray of hope forsook him. * •

If she had expected him to be sparing of the thin slab of baccn, she was disappointed. He cut it all up and spread it in the skillet. The fire roared pleasantly and the bgcon and coffee gave off an aroma that made Dona's mouth water. Stan produced a bi| of flour and j made four griddle cakes. - He brbwned them to a turn and flipped two of them on Dona's plate, j Then he smothered them with stiips of crisp bacon. A steaming cup of black coffee completed the fare. With a satisfied feeling, Dona devoured the cakes and baccn. At this rate they would be out of food with J another meal. Nothing was said. Stan had dropped back into a moody silence. He was watchful, listening, and always his hand was near his belt. He w r as typically the outlaw. Ball from Blind River. After breakfast Stan let the 1

dishes stand dirty. There was not enough water left to wash them. He sauntered out into the sun-' shine and stood watching the blue haze in the* canyon below. Dona finally came out and sat on the other side of the entrance. a a a NOON came with a pleasant heat that was not oppressive but that warmed deeply. Dona had busied herself with a careful check of the country below. She was sure she had spotted the Pass Creek trail and that she could go to it if she escaped. Ball had stayed close enough to her so that any attempt to slip away would have been foolish. He halted in making a turn across the little shelf and stood looking dowm at her. His eyes were expressionless and his lips formed a straight line.

In silent reverence and love, he buried the poor, charred form in the little garden that had been his mate's pride ants joy. Beside it he buried the warriors who |had given their lives for their mistress’ protection. ' . \

"I’ll make a bargain.” he began. "And I won't listen,” she cut in. “I have food cached down the trail a half mile. I'll get it and replenish cur supply of water. You be here when I return. "If you do not care to promise I'll take you along.” His eyes searched her face rapidly. Dona met his gaze squarely. Here was a chance. She did not owe this killer a promise kept. He did not deserve it. • She got to her feet slowly. ‘Til stay, here.” she answered. "But I will get you if I can." ‘ You ■will be here when I get back?" Stan held her eyes with his level gaze. “I promise.” Dona met his challenging glance fairly. Without another word he saddled the black mare and rode out through the cleft of rock. Dona ran

inside the cave and began to look about for any article she might need. Her eyes fell on the picture in I the rock niche. She pulled in down and stuffed it under her jacket. Suddenly a thought struck her. Suppose Ball only was testing her and would be hiding just off the. ledge? Then, too, she had promised him that she would stay. Her pride and sense of sportsmanship made i her hesitate to slip away by breaking a promise. She wanted to capture Ball by her cwn efforts. If she slipped away he would leave the cave and make his escape, fearing she would lead the posse to it. (To Be Continued)
