CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN (Continued.) “You women can see a lot in any hound that has the pack against him," continued Asper as he patted her arm. “I’ve given orders that, if Ball returns and is caught he is to be brought in and taken to the county seat for trial." “And you think the men will do that?" Dona shook her head as she remembered the mob she and Ball had faced together. "Bwergin knows he Is through so far as I am concerned If he lets his B|en get out of hand." Asper ■poke iri his business manner. Dona patted his hand. She knew he had done this for her. Kissing him on the cheek, she ran to her room. mu* DONA came out after a refreshing bath bright as a mountain flower. She looked about for Dudley but he was pot waiting. A little frown of impatience puckered her soft lips. “Where’s pud?” she called to Asper. "Went galloping down the hill about fifteen minutes ago," Asper answered sourly. f Dona did not say any more. She knew her father was very much displeased with the way Dudley acted and she did not want to add to his displeasure. Asper did not know just the position Dudley was in and could not be expected to understand his lack of attention. Dona strolled out into the grove behind thp office building. She began planning. She would not talk to Swergin. but would investigate i the workings on Pass Creek herself. Her father's eagerness not to discuss that district made her afraid of what she would And. But 1 she had to know the truth. CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT DONA was up early and down to the corrals before the rest of the camp was stirring. Malloy was nowhere in sight, so Dona saddled the roan herself. She galloped up the slope toward Pass creek. She met the sunrise as she cantered out at the top of Pass creek divide. The world beldw her on each side was hidden in a misty shadow. Only the ridge was aglow with the golden splendor of the ’ sun. Dona sat on her horse and looked down into the valley she was about to enter. , She was sure adventure beck-

oned to her, sure that she soon would know the secret of all the trouble in the Three Rivers country. The trail was rough and unused for a half mile. Then several trails joined it, apparently coming from above, but from different angles, and it became a beaten pathway that showed recent heavy use. Dona pushed on along this pathway for another half mile. Bhe began to grow uneasy as the trail widened. She would be sure to meet someone on so well marked a road. With a sudden feeling that she was about to come upon another rider, she pulled out of the trail and took to the timber. This made th going slower. She came to the edge of the clearing she sought, guided to ttie spot by the roar of a truck motor. The timber had become so heavy that it was impossible to see any trail marks or landmarks behind her.

THEY KLL ME,'JW

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 27. One of the reasons why Senator James E. Watson is as popu-v lar in St. Joseph county as President Hoover in a bonus army camp, is the $1,000,000 South Bend postoffice. It may sound as if the ol’ conductor of this cqlumn has gone nuts about postofflces, but, peculiarly enough, wherever you run across detestation of Watson you find a post office and James I. Barnes of Logansport, his favorite contractor, as the cause. For twelve years Andrew J. Hickey of La Porte was re-elected to congress because he promised South Bend anew postoffice. Finally the federal government, more because of Watson than Hickey, ordered one constructed here and the latter was defeated for congress by Samuel Pettengill, Democrat. The battle over this Grecian type edifice began just before the bids were opened. Barnes telegraphed the treasury officials to revise his bid down to $680,000, thereby underbidding the H. G. Christman & Cos. contracting firm of this city by $4,200. Then began the battle. Eaery one was anxious to learn what had prompted Barnes to make that eleventh-hour revision and how this cut was so well placed that it made him the low bidder.

a a a Pettengill demanded an investigation, and declared that, in his opinion, telegraphic modifications violated at least the spirit of sealed proposals. But, for some reason or other, officials in Washington decided to go ahead, awarding the contract to Barnes in spite of the protest. At this time the American Federation of Labor joined the battle against Watson's henchmen, with the criticism that Barnes was a notorious slasher of wages and this permitted him to make lower bids. But in spite of the curious circumstances surrounding modifications of the figure and his wage scalping, Barnes got the contract. Washington dispatches said that Watson stood back of his bid. This did not end the trouble over the postofflce.

Dona thanked 'her luck that she always had a keen sense of direction. DISMOUNTING, she hid the roan in a dense growth of brush and berry bushes. Her next step was to push forward in the direction of the truck. The job of forcing her way through the brush was a difficult one for a slender girl, but Dona was determined to see what was going on. She came to an opening in the trees and peered out. What she saw made her lips lighten. The clearing had once been piled high with cut lumber and poles. Bhe could see the props and the planks they had been piled upon. Several thousand feet of lumber remained. Two big trucks were loading from the remaining stacks. Dona’s eyes sparkled with anger as she watched the men at work. A heavy voice bellowed an order and Dona stepped back quickly.

Within a few months there was a public outcry when it was learned that the sub-contract for the brick masonry had been let to a Michigan contractor who brought in his own labor and paid the masons 40 cents an hour against a. wage scale of double that. Protest* to the contrary did little good and the federal authorities refused to interfere, despite the government’s announced stand against starvation wages on federal jobs. Finally, this also was ironed out by a slight increase in wages to the laborers. Although the building is ready for occupation, the people of South Bend are not as proud of the edifice as they had hoped to be. One bystander, watching the tearing down of the boardwalk around it today, who declared that he had applied for a job, but had been turned down by the out-state sub-contractor, said: “Well, Watson and Barnes won on that one, but I’ll be the winner Nov. 8.” And that reflects the sentiment throughout the Third district.

AW BY BRUCE CATTON ANDRfTW CARNEGIE was one industrialist who believed in having fun. Even when he was building his great fortune, he generally took at least six months off every year for recreation. , He built a castle and installed a kilted piper to march around the grounds and rouse the family every morning. He had a pipe organ provide music for his meals. He delighted in lecturing the English about the advantages of the American democratic system. He got the “United States of Europe” idea thirty years before Briand did. All this develops in a reading of “The Life of Andrew Carnegie,” a fat two-volume biography of the great steel magnate by Burton J. Hendrick. This biography portrays Carnegie as an exceptionally likable and human sort of man. It goes to elaborate lengths to present his family background, -the details of his private life, his friendships on both sides of the ocean, his ideals about democracy and industry and money and world peace. It is possibly a little less satisfactory in discussing his industrial career. The biographer, perhaps. is a little too full cf uncritical admiration for his subject. You will find in this "book no hint that Carnegie's competitors once looked on him as the acme of ruthlessness. Asa sketch of the human side of the man, however, it Is extremely interesting. Carnegie was not austere like Rockefeller, selfcontained and unapproachable like Morgan. He was zestful, impish, undignified. He had fun. The biography is published by Doubleday, Doran & Cos., and costs $7.50.

Shff recognized that voice—Swergin was directing the work. It was plain that this timber was being sent out without checking, if it was not being stolen deliberately by the boss. Dona began to understand things more clearly than before. But she could not make up her mind. She must ride in and see her father. She would have a straightforward talk with him. If Swergin was stealing from the oompanv, he would meet with a lot of trouble. She worked her way back to her horse and mounted. Her return was begun more carefully than her approach. She realized that if she was caught, she might be dealt with roughly. Swergin would not hesitate to keep her prisoner until he had finished his job. She kept off the trail until* she was well up toward the top of

the ridge. When she could see the pass ahead, she cut across and located the pathway. Riding swiftly, she topped the pass and halted. The roan blew noisily and pawed to be on his way, but Dona quieted him with a pat on the neck, for she suddenly was interested in the back trail. A stone rattled below and a branch snapped. Dona turned the roan and slid from sight over the pass. Someone was riding up from below and It might be Swergin. m urn THE roan trotted along eagerly while Dona watched behind her. A stone came rattling down into the trail from above and she glanced up the hillside. She caught a flash of a black horse and the wide Stetson hat of a rider. Her heart jumped wildly

and she strained her eyes, but the rider had vanished above her. Dona urged the roan a little faster and listened for sounds from above. She had the advantage in a race if she chose to let her horse out, because she was on the trail and the man above was in the rough timber. The rattling of stones from above became very distinct as her pursuer put his horse to a gallop to keep abreast of her. Dona’s eyes suddenly lighted up. If that was Ball, she would show him that he could not overtake her. She hated him thoroughly, as she remembered how he had looked as he promised to stay out of the country. Dona slapped the roan smartly with her quirt. He leaped down the trial and the race was one. They thundered out into a meadow and

crossed it like a sweeping stampede. , Dona caught sight of her pursuer breaking from the timber behind her and to the right. He was bending over his horse's neck, urging it on. The black horse was flying along with an easy stride that made Dona sure Ball was pursuing her. Into the timber the roan plunged while the black came clattering after. Dona smiled as she realized that her horse was equal to the black, if not a little faster. She bent forward and urged the big fellow on. The roan laid his ears back and let his stride odt a little. Only a horse born and bred to the hill country could have kept his feet at such a pace on a rocky - trail. They shot out into another little meadow and Dona glanced over her

shoulder. The black still was on her right, but was* losing ground. Dona ducked low and used her spurs. The cowboy on the horse was pulling a rifle from under the flap of his saddle. After that, the race was real, Dona forced the roan to his fastest pace and held to what cover she could pick without leaving the trail. Her pursuer had ceased to try heading her off and was following along the beaten path. His horse, with solid footing, had ceased to lose ground. Strive a* the roan would, he rouM not get away. The camp was not so far away and that made Dona feel hopeful of escaping. There was one more clearing to cross Sind she entered it lying flat on thp roan's neck and i urging him to his best speed.
