TENTH I~NSTALLMENT
THE ROLLING TERROR
CHAPTER Xiv.
Across Country.

Early next morning, out of that
painless mire, strobe back the Brute,
picking his perilous way with the in
stinct of some cunning, cautious ami
NAL, and guiding-in fact, bearing on
his shoulders half the time-the luck
less Ponto. That individual, his ugli-
ness enhanced by the clotted blood
that dressed his disheveled hair, and
decorated his countenance, was still
dazed. He had vague ~recollections as
to what had happened. He knew that
at the command of Hernandez, his
side partner in crime, he had plunged
once more into the deadly morass for
the purpose of finishing by violence
the deed that had commenced in cum
ming. He had followed the Brute-he
remembered that.
He dozed off into satisfaction.
He woke with a jolt. 1t was a heavy
jolt. When his eyes opened he was
on the ground, supine. He started to
leap to his feet, then sank back again,
heavy with the pain of his wound.
A laugh behind him startled him
and brought him to his senses. He
turned swiftly, feeling for his knife
the knife that wasn't there.
There was another laugh-the laugh
of his side partner, Hernandez.
Fool" said Hernandez, addressing
Ponto.
Ponto changed his demeanor. He
drew himself up to his squatty height
and folded his arms.

S~ 81 went into that hell and
R lied them both-I did it single-hand-
ed, Ponto."
His answer was a sheer. Herman
dez stretched forth a hand and
,clutched Ponto by the shoulder.
He dragged his lieutenant to the edge
of the clump of trees and underbrush.
where they were standing. He parted
the branches of a tree. He. handed
Ponto a pair of binoculars.
Take one swift look, my Ponto," he
sneered, "only one"
Ponto took more than one-he held
his eyes glued to the glasses. Then
he fell back in amazement.
"They live:' he cried. Both of
them!"
He stared at Hernandez almost in

peated.

AMBULANCE PRICES
BEING SECURED

Major Steedman, military adviser
to Governor Hanna, has almost COM
pleted inquiries on army ambulances,
one of which is to be purchased for
the North Dakota boys by donations
made some months ago.
1t has been hard to get delivery on
the style Of the ambulance desired
and all that is necessary to close the
deal is to ascertain the nearest point
to Mercedes at which delivery can be
made. It is expected that within a
short time Major Steedman, 10. II.
Dummer and others in control of the
fund will have the definite data.
The Tribune has turned over 1921
it's total collections, to Major Steed'
man. More is held by Mr.. Dummer
and when all donations have been col
lected, it is expected that the fund
will total more than $700.
It has been found that the Ford
army ambulance ID best suited to ser
vice on the border. Many of them
are in use on the French front and
are giving excellent service. This is
the type of an ambulance that will be
purchased for the North Dakota regi'
ment. The state of Ohio purchased
several for the use Of the Ohio regi-
ments, deeming the type more suit
able than some of the other ambu'
lances on the market.
