CHAPTER rORTY-SEVEN CONTRARY to the expectations of the doctor and to all rules of convalescence, Dcna did not suffer a setback. Aspcr brought her news from the .room down the hall, news that he made encouraging apd "bright. He was sitting on the foot of her bed smiling at tier in his rough way, when Dona suddenly remembered something. "Where is Dud? I haven't seen nim since yesterday afterncon.” Asper's wide smile faded and he tried to give her an answer that was casual. ‘‘Oh, he‘s around here.’’ Dona knew instantly that something was wrong. Her father could not cover anything up while he was looking straight into her sac Dona knew’ him too well. "Something has happened to Dud.’’ she said simply. "Better tell me all about It, Dad, t won’t make any fuss.” Aspcr looked at his daughter for a ..moment while he cast about for a way to tell her. Finally, he plunged in. but immediately hedged. "He took your car and went to the city.’’ Dona's soft lips curved into a sudden smile that bewildered the troubled Asper. She actually was smiling. ’ When did he go?” she asked. Aspcr grunted with distinct disapproval. Dona was a puzzle to him in a great many ways. Here she was sitting up in bed looking almost happy, in fact, radiant, while he told her that her husband had gone. "He’ll come back.” Dona gazed dreamily out of the window as she spoke. She was not thinking about Dudley Winters except to be thankful that he had made the way out very easy. “He's dhasing some crazy clew," she added. "He may not come back at all. He left pretty permanently,” Asper finished lamely. Dona replied with a little laugh. She reached out and took her father’s hand. With a squeeze, she pulled him around until she could look into his eyes. Asper gave her his attention with sudden interest. “ I hope it is permanent, ’’ she whispered. Asper snorted, but not with complete conviction. "Because he is not your son-in-law." Dona's checks colored beautifully, her eyes shone. a a a ASPER gazed at her without speaking. His mind was flashing back over the happenings of the last few weeks, and he was checking up many little Incidents. Finally he smiled and patted her hand. He was too relieved to be angry. “How and why did you do it?" he asked. "It was Dud’s idea. He got the certificate signed up and we were to use it to get you back to the city.” Dona was serious now. i Asper's eyes dimmed a little as he watched her small hands working patterns on the quilting of the comforter. She would have gone through with it for his sake. “You would have married Winters to save your old dad?” He asked the question, knowing the answer. Dona squeezed his hand. Asper got to his feet with a weak attempt at a grunt, "I’d better get in and see about that crazy buckaroo,” he said gruffly, as he strode to the door. “Take good care of him,” Dona called after him. Asper’s answer was swallowed up by the slamming of the door. She sat and looked out of the window. Plans piled themselves up in her mind, the most compelling one being to get up and go to Stan’s side. The doctor came in and found her curled up with her chin propped

in the palms of her hands and her lips parted in a dreamy smile. He stood looking down on her in surprise. "You will not need any attention from me," he greeted her. "You are the most alive of any patient I ever had.” / "I'm getting up pretty soon,” Dona announced. "I’m going to help with ypur new patient.” The doctor looked keenly at her. “You can not help with him. You will do more good by acting just as I tell you.” "Tomorrow I will?" Dona made a question of it. "We’ll see," the doctor was suddenly all professional dignity. "With you and your father Isoth around under foot, I could do nothing for him and he is a very sick man." a a u DONA accepted the ruling with reservations, but she did accept it. She had learned to have a great deal of respect for the tall medical man who served as company doctor She spent an impatient morning waiting for news from the room down the hall. Asper came in twice, but his assurances that Stan was getting on well did not ease Dona's longing to go to him.

THEY O TELL MI'JW

‘I Love a Parade’ MEN and women are children and all children love a parade and that is why, as far as the Hoosiers are concerned, the campaign which closes “Chooseday" has been the grandest in several decades. The money spent on red and green flares during the scores of torchlight parades staged over the state would have fed several hundred unemployed families. But why. get serious? While the Democrats have contented themselves with flares, floats depicting "Hoover Hotels,”’ composed in the main of park benches, and cracks about that unfortunate phrase which boomerangs back this year, “two cars in every garage and a chicken in every pot,” the Republicans have gone in for parades in a grand manner. To put a little pepper in the show, they used a pair of hulking elephants, transporting them over the state. It evidently wasn’t hard to find some state, county or district chairman or some aspiring candidate willing to make a clown of himself and ride the swaying beasts. a a a In fact, there were several times when it appeared that the Republican state committee might have to be assembled hurriedly and fill a vacancy on the state ticket, especially that of Governor, because Raymond S. Springer seemed to have found the perch on an elephant precarious, to say the ldast. But it can’t be denied that this has been the most colorful campaign in years. And the crowds were the largest, principally because the people wanted to hear something holding out a little hope. Meetings have been crowded as never before. And hundreds of thousands listened in on the radio to hear, with few exceptions, the same old guff. It will be years before there again is exhibited so widespread an interest. There was a time when rallies

That afternoon Asper carried Dona out on the porch and fixed her in a mass of pillows where she could look out over the valley. He sat down beside her and gazed reflectively out over his timber holdings. “Tell me what really happened to you while you were riding?” Dona finally asked. “I rode down into Pass Creek,” Asper began. And found just what I found,” Dona cut in. “I tried to tell you, but you would never let me.” Asper nodded. “I wish I had listened.” "And then what?” "I caught Swergin on the trail and disarmed him. I intended to bring him in, but one of his men came up behind us and I was covered. Swergin took me to a cabin and tied me up.” Asper’s eyes grew dark as he remembered. "He threatened you?” Dona asked breathlessly. “He told me his whole scheme of robbery, then went out and set fire to the cabin.” Asper tossed his black cigar away. "The coward!” Dona gasped. “Ball came in and saved me. I sent him on down here to head Swergin off and I stayed to fight the fire and keep it out of the tim-

were attended in the main by reporters assigned to cover the speech. And that was an easy job, because the oratory never varied. a a a For instance, Senator James E. Watson makes the same tariff speech and tells the same stories, including the one about all the women on the beach, and Senator Arthur R. Robinson talks about “ours is a noble heritage.” But the throngs turned out. The Democrats pulled the larger audiences, because theirs was the better oratory, but at that the Republicans also set some attendance records. One reason for so large an outpouring is that most people are so broke that they can’t afford to go to a theater for entertainment and Watson always is worth a laugh. But the factor is that, in a time like this, when the economic issue touches every man, woman and child, all are interested.) And that is why the largest vote in Indiana history, 1,500,000, is expected for Tuesday. Don't, however, forget to give the parades a little of the credit.

7TTSGSK 8Y BRUCE CAJTON IN “Before the Curtain Falls,” an anonymous novelist declares that the turmoil and suffering of the last two decades have been the final act in a great world drama. The play is about over now, and the curtain is about to be rung down. Our form of society, our kind of civilization, is through. You may not share in this idea in the least. But you will find “Before the Curtain Falls” stating the case for it with hot anger and, now and then, with real eloquence. The narrator of the novel is the son of decayed Virginia gentility. He grows up just as dawning industrialism begins to despoil his town. He goes to Harvard, moves on to Europe to join the American ambulance corps in 1915, becomes an American intelligence officer in 1917, and goes to Russia and the Balkans after the armistice with the American relief organization. Then he comes home to witness the rise of the Coolidge boom and the collapse of 1929. It is from the things this man sees during those years that the argument about the approaching change is drawn; and surely, there was enough of folly, cruelty, and tragedy in those years to warrant the most doleful of conclusions. Unfortunately, 0 our anonymous author isn’t quite up to his job. He has a page of powerful writing here and there, but most of his book is very poorly constructed, self-con-scious, and stilted. Published by Babbs-Merrill, the book sells for $2.50.

ber.” Asper stopped as though about to add something. “Did Stan Ball tell you why he came back?” Dona asked. a a a HER question was answered by a voice from the steps. Dona and Asper turned to see a dusty cowboy standing grinning at them; it was Malloy. “I went after him,” Malloy stated briefly. "You did? Asper showed his surprise. "You knew Stan Ball was not what we thought?” Dona asked slowly. ✓ “Knew it from the start, but henever would let me say a word or butt in.’ Malloy sat down on the top step. He was hot and tired, but he was eager for news about Stan, “s the kid ail right?” he asked.

He picked off the entire crew of one machine gun. Then he silenced another and another. The Reds, in consternation, were now aware something was wrong in their own lines, but could not discover the cause.

"You can see him tomorrow,” Asper promised. "Did that rat, Swergin, get in a shot?” Malloy was plainly sirprised. It was Dona who answered. “I did It. I thought he was getting away with another killing and I shot him.’” Malloy looked at her unbelievingly for a full minute, then, his grin spread widely. "You fan a mean gun,” he said, and started to get up. "Don’t run off. I want to sk you a lot of questions,” Dona said smilingly. Malloy grinned and dropped back ors the porch step. Asper got up. “I better see about | my patient.” With a wink at Mai- j loy, he strode inside. “I want you to tell me about Stan i Ball,” Dona said simply. Malloy dodged a reply.

“How about this feller, Winters,” Malloy asked bluntly. “We were not married. We tried to fool father and make him leave this country with us. “Dona spoke frankly, too. “That’s why he felt free to skip out with, that little senorita from over the ridge.” Malloy spoke deliberately. “I figured he was about half all right ” Dona started, then got a grip on herself. Malloy had said more than he might have, had he known that she only knew half of the story. “That accounts for all his riding,” she said with a smile that hinted she had known all the time. Malloy nodded and got up again. “I’ll be back if you want me,” he said as he clanked down the steps. (To Be Continued.)
