CHAPTER FORTY-SIX DONA sat on the porch and worried. She had not seen Dudlev since the night before, when he left her after her father had gone to bed. The doctor had come and with the •idof a woman who had been acting a nurse she had been taken out on the porch. The doctor had said that Asp*r was around and would be out ihortly, but he had nothing to say concerning Dudley. Dona sat looking out into the mining sunshine and feeling very ncgelected. Dud could at least have gotten around this morning. Dona had an idea he was up and oft riding again. She leaned back drowsily and drank in the pitchspiced air from the forest. A heavy step on the porch aroused her. She started, wide awake, to see Swergin coming up the steps. He was hatless and his clothes were badly torn. .It was clear he was looking for her, and she waited for him to speak. “Ball and your old man Just, met bp on the ridge," Swergin began with cruel bluntness. The color left Dona’s face and she gripped the arm of her chair, j “What happened?" she demanded weakiy. "The old man is shot badly,” Swergin lied. Dona did not cry out, but two big tears rolled out from under her long lashes and fell on her clenched hands. “How could he do it?” she choked. “If you can stand to ride up *here, you ought to go.” Swergin sftoke with a trace of feeling. “I don’t think there is a chance to move him from the cabin I put him in.” “What happened to Ball?” Dona could not keep the question back. “Got away like he always has,” Bwergin snarled. “Go and get a horse and I'll try to ride up with you,” Dona spoke weakly. The shock had been almost more than she could bear. Swergin left the porch and strode toward the corrals. Whis his back was squarely turned, a fiendish grin spread over his heavy features. At the corrals he found no attendant and had to do the saddling himself. This delayed him a few minutes. | J tt u tt rpvONA sat staring out across the clearing with unseeing eyes. She was torn by conflicting emotions.' Stan Ball was a traitor. Worse, he was a fiend. At that moment she felt she could stand again under the tree on the ridge above and watch him hanged without a touch of sympathy. She wished Dudley was at her side. He never had been on hand when she really’needed him and she wandered if it was always to be that way. He furnished a very thin barrier against the hurts that came unmasked. Swergin was leading two horses up the path. Dona watched him come and a feeling of loathing crept over her despite the anxiety that tugged at her heart. Like a hulking ape Swergin moved up the hill, his long arms dangling by his sides and his massive chin sticking out as he strode along. It was terrible to have no one else to fight for you but a man like Swergin. The timber boss dropped the reins In the padded space below the steps of the main building and faced Dona. “You’ll have to carry me down to the horse,” Dona said weakly. Swergin grinned and took a step

forward. Suddenly h halted, his feet planted wide. The grin faded and his eyes began to bulge, while one big arm slid to the gun holster at his hip. Dona stared at him in surprise. It was plain that Swergin was seeing a ghost or worse. Her eyes traveled with his gaze and she saw Stan Ball standing at the corner of the building. Both his hands were held wide from his side and his eyes were fixed upon the timber boss’ face. He had not seen Dona on the porch. “I came to get you, Swergin,” he snapped. “Go for your gun.” Swergin already was pulling at his holster. Both men bent forward and two guns cleared almost instantly! Streaky flames spurted as their six guns roared. Dona could not take her eyes from Stan’s face. It was so hard and cold. After the crashing report, he still was standing there, his gun smoking in his hand. Slowly Dona forced her eyes from him to w'here Swergin had been standing. The timber boss lay on his face in a crumpled heap in the dust. tt tt tt SUDDENLY Donas panic swept away from her and she became a tigress defending her own. Ball had been as ruthless as a vandal. He had persecuted and

This Is Important! BECAUSE interest in the campaign has been focused on national personalities and issues, little or no mention and attention has been accorded the fact that the people of Indiana are asked to vote on two amendments to the state Constitution. The first and most important of these would make it constitutional for the state to pass income tax legislation. Although many attorneys feel that such amendment is unnecessary, it is thought best, by those interested in seeing that the burden of taxation is distributed equitably, to safeguard against technical objections. Appeals to the citizens to vote for the amendment have been broadcast over the state by those who feel that the tax dodgers should be made to bear their fair share of governmental costs. tt u A statement sent by parentteacher organizations sets out that the income tax amendment promises to “alleviate the situation by which many with large incomes practically have escaped the cost of financing local and state government. “This is not a partisan question and does not mean an additional tax, but a shifting of this load to those best able to bear It.” The appeals also point out how many with incomes from SIO,OOO up, and with little real estate and no great amount of personal property, are escaping taxation, although they receive all benefits of government, including schooling for their children. Under the state Constitution, it is necessary that a majority of all persons voting in the election vote “yes” on amendments if they are to be carried. tt n u In the upper left-hand corner of the machine are the tw'o constitutional amendments.

killed without staying his hand. Reaching back she Jerked from its peg the rifle Asper had left out for her to fix as a souvenir and pumped a cartridge into it. Leveling it as steadily as her weakened condition would permit she fired blankly at Stan. He turned around, half facing her, and slowly crumpled up to lie almost touching Swergin. Dona covered her face with her hands and the rifle slid to the porch floor. It seemed Stan had smiled at her as he went down. She was certain he had seen and known her. Dona fainted away for a minute but came back to consciousness fighting for control of herself. Her eyes lifted reluctantly to the padded space outside the porch. The two men were just where they had fallen. Slowly Dona slid from her chair and made her way down the steps. Passing the still form of Swergin she bent over Stan Ball and lifted his head to her lap. Tears blinded her eyes and she rocked gently back and forth. “Why did you do it?” she whispered. “Oh, why did you have to come back like this!” Stan did not stir, his eyes remined closed. Dona was too hysterical and upset from the ordeal of the last half hour to think of aiding him.

the party lever, vote on the amendment. It is important to every citizen who wishes to equalize the tax burden. It isn’t a partisan question and your sentiment should be registered in favor of this necessary change if Indiana is to forge ahead. Amendment No. 2 is on the subject of changing the Constitution so that a person desiring to practice law must pass an examination showing his qualifications. The legislature already * has passed a statute on this question and no appeal has been taken, because all practicing attorneys favor the provision. This also is important, but most imperative is a vote on the income tax. Don’t be in so great a hurry to vote for political candidates that you ferget the amndments. They are of utmost importance. Remember to vote—these also are major issues.

FEWER than half the homes in the United States measure up to minimum standards of health and decency. Under present conditions no improvement is possible—because the building industry simply can not build decent homes for ordinary folk at prices that ordinary folk can afford to pay. These startling assertions come from “Housing America,” a little package of dynamite prepared by editors of Fortune magazine. The building industry, declare the authors of this book, is the second industry in size in the world’s greatest industrial nation. But this industry is not yet industrialized; that is, it produces its product under old handcraft conditions and it has not even begun to take advantage of opportunities offered by mass production. This, they say, is not the industry’s fault. Building a house is not the same as building an automobile. But they do assert that the building industry can enjoy the greatest industrial boom imaginable if it submits to a complete revamping, learns how to produce houses in factories, and gets the aid of a farreaching and effective governmental housing program. Unfortunately, there is not room here to outline this book's proposed program. I only can say that the book points the way to a better life for the nation and to anew prosperity for workers and employers alike. It is an immensely stimulating and thought-provoking piece of work. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Cos., it sells for $2.

After the next shot, Tarzan moved with pantherlike stealth down the steep hillside. From the edge of a low cliff he saw upon a ledge fifteen feet behim, a Red soldier lying concealed from the British,

Several men had seen the fire and he had gotten a horse and had followed Ball. He ran to Dona and caught her to him. “What’s this?” he cried. “I killed him,” Dona wept softly. “I shot him.” Asper swept her into his arms and carried her to the porch. Then he returned to several men who had run to the scene. A hasty glance at Swergin showed him that the timber boss was beyond help. Bending over, Asper gathered Stan Ball into his arms tenderly and carried him to a room.

The Red sniper lay well back of his own lines, firing over the head of his fellows. As the apeman discovered him he had laid aside his binoculars and was preparing to fire again.

Dona sat staring out across the porch rail. She was too weak to move and almost too nervous to think. The half dozen men who had come running up had halted beside the body of Swergin. They looked up at her In astonishment. “Take him some place,” Dona called weakly. The men gathered up their boss and carried him down to the doctor's cabin. Asper came out as they were leaving and shouted after them. “Send the doctor up here right away!” One of the men turned and nodded to Asper, then ran on ahead. Asper crossed the porch to Dona's side and patted here arm. “Is he alive!” Dona whispered. “He’s all right,” Asper lied brave-

ly. “Now, I’m taking you back to your bed." He gathered her in his arms and carried her in and laid her on her bed. Bending over her, he kissed her tenderly. “Don’t you worry about Stan Ball; he’s alii right.” Dona's eyes lighted with a rush of fire, but Asper checked her from speaking. “I have to meet the doctor and take him to the kid's room,” he said. “Then he didn’t shoot you and wound you?" Dona whispered eagerly. Asper shook his head. “I made a mistake about the kid, but we ll make it up to him now." A lump rose In the old timber king's throat as he realized w-hat was ahead of Dona and himself. (To Be Continued t
