SYNOPSIS.

Jack Keith. a Vlrginian. now a Dor
der plainsman, is riding along the Santa
Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war
parties of savages. He notices a camp
fire at a distance and then sees a team
attached to a wagon and at full gallop
pursued by men on ponies. When Keith
reaches the wagon the raiders have mass
acred two men and departed. He searches
the victims finding papers and locket
with woman's portrait. He resolves to
hunt down the murderers. Keith Ia ar
rested at Carson City, charged with the
murder, his accuser being ruffian named
Black Bart. He goes to jail fully realiz-
Ing the peril of swift border justice. A
companion in his cell is a negro, who
tells him he Is Neb and that he knew the
Keith family back in Virginia. Neb says
one of the murdered men was John
Sibley the other Gen. Willis Waite, for
merly an officer in the Confederate army.
cell, and later the two fugitives become
lost in the sand desert. They come upon
a cabin and find its lone occupant to be a
young girl, whom Keith recognizes as q
singer he saw at Carson City. The girl
explains that she came there in search of
a brother who had deserted from the
army. A Mr.. Hawley induced her to
come to the cabin while he sought to To-
cate her brother. Hawley appears, and
Keith in hiding recognizes him as Black
Bart. Hawley tries to make love to the
girl. There is a terrific battle in the
darkened room in which Keith overcomes
Black Bart.

mount on the other shore. This plan
settled, he went at 1t swiftly, riding
the captured animal while rounding
up the others, and fastening the three
to stunted trees on the opposite bank.
Everything within the cabin remained
exactly as he had left it, and he briefly
explained the situation, examining Haw-
ley's bonds again carefully while do
ing so.
He'll remain there all right until
his men find him. he declared. posi-
lively, land that ought to give us
good six hours start. Come, Miss
Hope, every minute counts now"
He held her arm, not unconscious of
its round shapeliness, as he helped her
down the rather steep bank through
the dense gloom Then the two men
joined hands. and carrying her be
tween them, waded the shallow
stream. The horses, NOT yet sufficient
ly rested to be frisky, accepted their
burdens meekly enough, and, with
scarcely word spoken, the three rode
away silently into the gloom of the
night.

entrance into the deeps of his heart,

mother.
He found the other horses turned
into the corral, and was able, from
their restless movements, to decide

about 1t on the ground. Apparently
no guard had been set, the fellows be-
ing worn out from their long ride, and
confident of safety In this isolated
spot Besides, Hawley had probably
assumed that duty, and told them to
get whatever sleep they could. How
ever. the gate of the corral opened be-
side their fire, and Keith dare not
venture upon roping any of their
ponies. or leading them out past
where they slept. There might
be clippers in the cabin with which he
could cut the wires, yet If one of the
gang awoke, and discovered the herd
absent, 1t would result in an alarm,
and lead to early pursuit. 1t was far
safer to use their own ponies. He
would lead Hawley's horse quietly

been well brought up, In most cases
1t Is the fault Of the mother. She
feels that it is much more important
to form the character of little boy,
that his manners can wait till he Is
older. The result is that one sees
boys and men who rarely forget to be
polite outside of their homes, and yet
seem to think 1t unnecessary to treat
their own mother in the same way
My view is that there is no need
to neglect the character because you
pay attention to the manners. | think

that grim desolation surrounding
them. No one of the three felt like
speaking; the gloomy, brooding des-
ert oppressed them, their vagrant
thoughts assuming the tinge of their
surroundings; their hope centered on
escape. Keith rode, grasping the rein
of the woman's horse in his left hand
and bending low in vain effort at pick
ing path. He had nothing to aim
toward, yet sturdy confidence in his
expert plainscraft yielded him suff-
cient sense of direction. He had noted
the bark of the cottonwoods, the direc-
ton Of the wind, and steered a course
accordingly straight northward, alert
to avert any variation.
The girl rode easily, although In a
mans saddle, the stirrups much too

approval at the erectness with which
she sat, the loosened rein in her hand.

could appreciate horsemanship. and
the easy manner in which she rode
relieved him of one anxiety. 1t even
caused him to break the silence.

Through the Night Shadows.

Keith had very little to guide him.
as he could not determine whether
this mysterious cabin on the Salt Fork
lay to east or west of the usual cattle
trail leading down to the Canadian.
Yet he felt reasonably assured that
the general trend Of the country lying
between the smaller stream and the
valley of the Arkansas would be SINH

acquainted. 1t was merely a wild
stretch of sandy desolation, across
which their horses would leave scarce

OAHUS WOULD
MEET STARS

The Oahus, a baseball team com.
posed of employees of Ehlers & Co..
have expressed a desire to meet the
Star boys on the diamond in the near
future, Sunday being named as the
day and the Makilsi ground as the
place.
The Oahus lineup is given as
Willie de Rego, C; Okito, p; Johnny
Martin, 1b; Frank Roman, Oh; Charlie
Barley, 3D. August Perreira, SIS; Da-
vid Phillips, cf John Souza, IF; Joe
Fernandez, CT; Tony Rodrigues and
Vasco Rosa, subs.
David Phillips is captain of the
Oahus and Charley Barley fills the
responsible position of manager.
Jimmy Carey, manager of the Stars
end known as the local Connie Mack,
stated this morning that he had been
notified of the above challenge and
that he was giving the matter due
consideration.
Carey is a foxy matchmaker and
wants to run his eagle eye over the
Oahus before rushing into a match.
He states that the Stars are willing

Mccarthy was offered the try-out
match with Wolgast which went to
R;tchie. The weight was to have
been 1873 pounds at three o'clock
and Johnny couldn't get down to that
rotch without cutting off a leg, so
had perforce to pass the job up.
Had Mccarthy been blessed with
two or three pounds less avoirdupois
two and a half months ago he would
have stood a very good chance Of
being acclaimed the lightweight cham

lucky boy to get a draw.
Ritchie started out like a whirlwind
and in the first minute of the first
round had McCarthys face pulled and

a very damaging wallop, much to the
disappointment of his admirers who

prowess because of his knockout of

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16-The
longest ocean race in the world is the
bi-annual struggle between San Pedro
in lower California and Honolulu The
race has become world famous, and
next month the hands ONE seafaring
yachts of the Pacific coast will be
started from San Pedro on the long
journey to the paradise of the south

for San Pedro to take part in the race,
and incidentally to defend it's title to
Queen of the Pacific which the
schooner won in 1910 from Barron
Longs Sweetheart of the Corinthian
Yacht club of this city
The Hawaii is one of the most sea-
worthy yachts that has ever taken
part in the big ocean race. 1t left
Honolulu with a crew of eleven anna
teur tars, many of them being we'll
known in yachting circles around the
bay. Captain w. II Stroud of Homo
lulu is in full command. Mike Center
is first mate with Fred Fredericks act
ing as second mate. Other members Of
the crew known here as enthusiastic
amateur sailors are w. O'Brien, e. T.
Stacker, James Blaisdell and Robert
McElroy. Besides these men there
are two able seamen, a cook and a
cabin boy.
Carl Dodson, a member of the South
Coast Yacht club of Los Angeles, is
aboard the Hawaii as the guest of the
Honolulu Yacht club.
Mike Center, the first mate, was
for two Years at Annapolis and has

There is no better training-quarters
in Honolulu than Camp Very. The air
Is strong and sweet There is a spa
cious gymnasium and handball court
right handy and last but not least
there is Corporal Trier always ready
and willing to oblige with a few
rounds of the real stuff.
The card for June 20 has not yet
been arranged but if Kid Miller puts
in an appearance on the S. s. Sonoma
on June IL as promised, he and John
ny Mccarthy will in all probability
be given the main event.
Failing Miller, Jim Hoao may fill the
breach If Hoao doesn't box McCar-

has not yet been made up. Ingle and

main event.
