The timber boss moved about the room, but did not seem in any hurry to leave. Asper watched him and came to the realization that Swergin was acting strangely. “Just what do you hope to gain all this?” he demanded at last. .►‘'•Swergin seemed to have been Waiting for the question. He abimped across the floor and loos•ehf'd Asper's rope enough to allow Jjjini to face about without twisting. I]* His eyes were blazing with a queer light and he shook a bony first at Bis boss. “You dropped in just right.” Swergln grinned. “This cabin will burn down and you’ll be out of the jtfay.” !,- Asper puHFd back in spite of himself. The cold-blooded idea struck him with terrific force. He was sure now that he was dealing with a jEnadman. “You wouldn’t dare do that,” he Said evenly, his eyes holding Swer- #*■ Ball will get the blame. He's al'Wady admitted the rest of the work, .{{tools like him make it easy for a srtiart man like me.” Swergin was laughing outright. : 'i!-Asper realized that he was in a desperate corner and that Swergin would do as he said. The man was Baad with power and success. Fighting for an opening, Asper went on. “How many feet of timber did 3rbu get away with?” ; Swergin bent forward and his thick lips parted. “Plenty to make rijie rich.” ■ ’’The ranger, Carter, finally objected to covering you up?” Asper wfcnt on with his questions. He fygew Swergen would gloat over a fecital of his success. ♦‘Carter got heavy, so Ball shot htm in the back," Swergin chuckled. He was enjoying the telling of his successes to his intended victim. ' ’‘You don’t expect Ball back?” Asper asked without a change of expression. Swergin’s face darkened. ‘‘l hope he comes back,” he growled. “I was a fool to let a womao keep me from putting him where"he belongs.” '‘You couldn’t have him blamed for what has happened since,” Asper pointed out without feeling. Bwergin nodded. “Oh, it’s working out just fine.” u u * ASPER bent forward and pulled himself together for a ffcnal attempt to talk to the burly Irtan who towered over him. “You ought to. consider some

other things. I have a girl who will be badly broken up over this. Her husband is a wealthy man and will run you down if it takes all his money.” Swergin snarled. “That gal of yours was willing to spend a night up on the mountain with Ball. If I hadn’t stepped in on them she’d have stayed longer. I’ll take care of her for you, and for that simpy Winters, too.” / Asper raised up from his bench and his hands trembled under the ropes. “You wouldn’t dare touch her,” he fumed, afire with anger. “She’ll know a real man, one who tried to save her old man from roasting in a log cabin.” Swergin winked again. Asper clenched his fists impotent>.y and clumped down in his chair. Jle was dealing with a man who had gone completely mad. Swergin paced over to the window and looked out. He seemed to be expecting someone, or was waiting for a given time. '' A.sper struggled to think calmly, to be steady and seek out a ray of hope, but there seemed no hope for him and he was sure Swergin would ride into camp with a, wild story.

THEY: TELL #tf JUf

Wanted—A Miracle 'T'HE trend to Hoover has been -*■ revealed after weeks of searching for this great movement toward the administration it is discovered in the last poll to be printed before the election by the Literary Digest. Now hold your breath —the trend toward Hoover amounts to .34, or slightly more than one-third of 1 per cent. Yes, that’s the extent of this great popular movement. The Literary Digest polls in past elections have proved 95 per cent correct Allowing for errors, then, let us say that the trend is as high as 1 per cent. The percentage of shift in sentiment in Indiana then would total Roosevelt 56.177 of the vote cast, and T—er 43.73. This means that the Democrats will carry the state handily on the basis of the Digest poll. But 'this watchtower can’t discern even a 1 per cent trend as a result of Hoover’s Indianapolis address. -* a a a To the contrary, the President lost votes here when he forgot the dignity of his high office and descended to vilification and billingsgate, thus proving what always has been believed, that, in the language of the street, “he couldn’t take it.” Conservative Republicans openly protest against the type of address he has been making. Billingsgate and mudslinging always are the last resorts of the person who sees defeat. Therefore, the Republicans need call upon no outside Jeremiahs; they have them in their own ranks. As has been pointed out repeat-, edly, “speeches cafr’t compete with a falling grain market.” And no matter how excellent the oratory or how bitter the flaying of the opposition, it is forgotten in the face of so pointed a remark as “I hear Farmer Jones broke his back trying to carry 50 cents’ worth of corn.” * * * Indiana is in the main an agricultural state. True, the cities are industrial centers, but elections in the past

It seemed impossible now that he could have blamed all the killings and dirty work on Ball. Dona had showed much better judgment. If he had trusted her woman’s ’instinct, he would have saved them all from a lot of grief. Asper caught himself wondering where Ball was. There was a bare chance that the cowboy would find the cabin. He had said that he was going to shoot it out with Bwergfn. Had Asper known Stan Ball’s plans for the day, his heart would haveb been swept clean of every hope, for Stan had decided that morning to ride over and straighten up his affairs at Blind River before having it out with Swergin. MOM r T'HE old timber man decided to make one final attempt to break through the madness of his foreman. . “You ought to think of my daughter and her husband. They are on their honeymoon.” Asper spoke almost pleadingly. Swergin faced about from the window and his face was twisted into a leer. “That puppy has been

have been more or less controlled by the farm vote. And it is no wild guess to say that this vote in this campaign is antiHoover, which means anti-Repub-lican state and national tickets. Observations made in visits to agricultural districts all point to this and nothing which has occurred in the last week tends to change that view. If there has been a drift, it has occurred in only four or five counties, Lake, St. Joseph, Marion, Vigo and Vanderburg. And it has been accomplished only through the liberal use of job fear. But, you strategists, bear this in mind. There are not enough persons employed this campaign for the employers to carry the election. Speeches in the last week of the campaign very well may be dispensed with. Sentiment has frozen solid —it froze two weeks ago and no oratory will change votes in bulk. The election is over today, unless a miracle of major magnitude occurs and, as for the ol’ doctor, he doesn’t believe in miracles any more. BY BRUCE CAITQM IF present trends in England continue as they are, all the old family estates and middle class fortunes will vanish inside of three or four deca<Jes and England will be well on the way toward practical Communism. So, at least, thinks Harry A. Franck, confirmed globe trotter, who just has revisited England and has written down his impressions in “Footloose in the British Isles.” England's high income taxes are well known. But Mr. Franck points out that they are only half of the story. The English motorist, for instance, pays a gasoline tax of 16 cents a gallon. Real estate taxes are frequently as high 'as house rentals. Estate taxes take more than 50 per cent of large estates. The result, he thinks, is a slow but steady revolution in English life. The empire itself may dissolve; ordinary Britishers, says Mr. Franck, no longer care about it very much. '/ The old spirit is gone. A cricket match between Australia and England interests the average man far more than such a thing as the recent Ottawa conference. For all their absorption in sports, however, Mr. Franck says that English athletes fail to excel, “because they are too lazy and too fond of afternoon tea to go into serious training.” “Footloose in the British Isles,” if not very profound, is lively and interesting, and Mr. Franck’s army of readers probably will eat it alive.

They’ll be borrowing your gal’s car and hiking out any day now, if they hain’t already gone.” Seeing a ldok of disbelief spread over Asper's face, Swergin went on, eager to tell everything. “I trailed him the other day to sure he was harmless, and I got an earful." Swergin scowled as he remembered the scene. Asper’s mind groped back over the last week. He was sure, when he had checked all the little things Ujaf. had happened, that the timber boss was telling the truth. He had been a fool not to do a little Investigating himself. a * * SWERGIN pulled a huge silver watch from his pocket and looked at it. He seemed to be ready

Turning, he confronted Dango, the hyena, sneaking upon him. The beast circled hungrily about waiting an opportunity to charge. Tarzan kept a watchful eye on him, meanwhile unslinging his war-spear, ready for instant use.

to finish his plan, and stamped outside hurriedly. Asper could hear him breaking limbs and tossing brush against the side of the cabin. He seemed to be going some distance for the materials to start Che fire, and apparently wanted a large supply. Swergin finished his piling of wood and branches and re-entered the cabin. He did not look at Asper but began piling the cowboy togs in the center of the floor. Asper cast about desperately for something to delay the tragic climax. “How did you manage about the horses?” he demanded. Swergin paused and looked across at him as though considering the advisability of answering anything so simple. “I got a place where I can hide out a whole herd, and I got men

I can trust to have that black mare ready.” Asper settled back with a sigh. He was at the end of his resources and ready to give up. Swergin got up from the pile of clothes 'ind walked to the door. He did not glance back as Le went out and did not stop until he was well around the building. He had piled the branches and limbs in a row well back and leading up to the cabin. It was his plan to start the fire and let the smart breeze from down the slope carry it to the log walls. That would make the fire look as though it had begun away from the cabin. a a a TTE bent and struck a match. Shielding the flame, he held it under a little pile of dry grass. The tiny blaze funneled upward and

caught eagerly at a pile of twigs. Two spirals of smoke rose, followed by a tongue of flame. Swergin backed off and watched the flames leap higher. He tested the wind and found It just right. Then he turned and without a glance behind him mounted his horse and rode away. He headed down the slope toward the camp at Three Rivers. He was sure that Dona would be there. He did not worry about her being ill. He had gone mad with power and he believed he could have anything he wanted. He did not even give Dudley Winters a thought. He knew the young man's plans from listening in several times on his meetings with the little senorita. Dudley was to slip the car out and go after little Rosa. Swergin grinned. The whole bunch were fools who played into his hands.

Even Ball was a fool, for he had left when he had them in a bad way, and all because a woman asked him to. It was funny, but It made everything easy for him. Ball was the one man he reckoned with. Swergin had only one thing to give him any concern. He would haVe to take care of Malloy if the corral boss was around. Malloy was not to be trusted, and he was as bad an actor with a six gun as Ball. Swergin eased himself around In the saddle and looked back up the trail. A spiral of smoke gbowed against the sky above the spot where his hidden cabin stood. Then ho. turned his gaze ahead and urged his horse to a trot. (To Be Continued.)
