An impish malice glimmered in his
sunken eyes a. he kept her waiting
upon his pleasure. And when at length
he decided to speak, it was with q ring
Of hateful irony in that strangely
sonorous voice Of his.
"Rose." he said slowly-"my daugh-
teri am told you have today been
guilty Of an act of ~disloyalty to me-"
She said coolly: "You had me spied
upon"
Naturally. with every reason to
question your loyalty. I had you

She waited q significant moment.
then dropped an impassive monosyl'
liable into the silence: "Well?"

She said, without expression: Eyes"

And that Isl"

II shall tell you nothing, my child.

infiexible purpose-"repeat what the
man Digby told you!"
The girl was silent. He endured her
stare for q long minute. q spark Of
rage kindling to flame the evil old eyes.
Then his one living member that
had power to serve his iron will, q
hand like the claw Of . bird Of prey.
moved toward . row of buttons sunk
in the writing-bed Of his desk.
Il warn you I have ways to make
you speak"
With a quick movement the girl
bent over and prisoned the bony wrist
in her strong fingers. With her other
hand, at the same time, she whipped

took from it a revolver which b
placed at a safe distance.

For a moment he watched in silence
as she bent over the desk, rummagins

gesture of his left hand, he began to
curse her.
She shuddered a little az the black
oaths blistered his thin old lips, dedi'

A shot interrupted him, the report
of a rife from a considerable distance
upstream, echoed and re-echoed by the
cliffs. And at this. clutching fran
tically at his arm. the girl drew him
through the door and down toward the
river.
"Oh, come. comet" she cried wild.

"But, why7 What was that?"
Judith is returning. I left my

who had subsequently died while at

Since that event, the man had sue.

In seeking shelter from the thunder.
storm, he had lost touch with his only
known and none too clearly located
landmarks. Then, after a night passed
without a fire in the lee Of a ragged
bluff. he had walked to discover the

stumbled and blundered in the maze
of those grimly reticent Businesses, for

of failing reason-possessed by a no

puppet of blind, witless panic.
But ever as he strove to calm him.

clearing.
There, upon the log on which he
had rested, he found-but refused to
believe he saw-a playing card, a
trey Of hearts, face up in the sun
glare.
With a gesture of horror, Alan Law
aed the place.
While the sounds of his flight were
still loud. a grinning half-breed guide
stole like q shadow to the log, laughed
derisively after the fugitive. picked up
and pocketed the card, and set out
in tireless, cat-footed pursuit.
. An hour later, topping a ridge Of
rising ground, Alan caught from the

Plea Is Entered in
Behalf of Despised
Cottonwood Trees


Dear Nr. Hdltor:
iast rhmmer, YOU remember. after
the cottonwood nuisance had been
generally discussed and unanimously
cussed. the city officials announced
that they would positively take steps
Of some kind 10 prevent q recurrnco
OF the pest this year. AZ an earnest
OF their determination, they had the
bearing trees biazod 80 as TO distin-
guish them from the lnonenslve non
bearers when the time came to apply
the remedy.
Just what this remedy is going to
be. I think Il a question of consider
aole public moment. b. reason OF the
mct h a "a max take the form Of n
Wholesale chopping down OF the
trees. This, In my estimation. would
be nothing iets than 2 crime In \
city, for, as the bearing cottonwoods
include probably four-hfths OF the
whole number Of our trees, their de-
%struetion would leave Albuquerque
practically as barren and sunbaked as
before II was reclaimed from the
prairie dogs and Jack rabbits And as
the time u now quite near at hand
when the application Of the remedy
will have TO be commenced. l nov
that all OF us who have the conserva-
lion and enlightenment Of Albuquer-
que's civic beauty at heart start right
now voicing our opposition 20 the
chopping-down idea.
That the cotton wood nuisance Is a
-sure-enough nuisance. no n VINO

TO practically destroy the whole OF
the city's most beautiful and only real
shade trees will not be admitted Dy

right here that merely trimming them
will prevent them from bearing for
several ~years-seven, some claim. This
was lone a num0er Of years ago Ia

The wasting OF white bread by DER

a letter IN the newspapers of the
Rhine province from a teacher. who
points out that Il n the duty Of par
ents to bring this e-xtravaEance to an
end and thus help the Fatherland dur

The writer says the children often
leave their homes after "a scanty
breakfast aud take a large package Of
bread and butter with them TO school.
Tie declares the scholars often are
una0le to consume the whole Of the
food and teereupon throw u away IN
the streets. He suggests the oihclal
prohibition OF the practice OF bringing
food to school and also OF the sale OF
all bread except OF war bread made
OF y and potatoes to children for
their immediate consumption. In this
way he believes "a great wastage viii

concludes that the children VIII also
