Torreon asked thoughtfully.

laya ventured. At nod from Nogi
he proceeded, pulling at his mustache
to mask the smile of relish with which
he anticipated permission to commit
yet another atrocity on American soil.

"How so?" Nogi demanded.
Zelaya bent over the map and with
the blunt end of greasy forefinger in
dicated a certain point.
"Here is house fully twenty miles
from the hacienda" he said. ut is the
home of the man named Morgan

his son, his sister and his mother-his
wife is dead. Both Morgan and his
sister are deep in the confidence of the

He paused and showed his teeth In
a smile Of gruesome significance. "And

Behind it the Morgan homestead
roared with flames, n funeral pyre for
the body of the murdered mother.
The girl would not let herself think
of that. She understood now that she
had been taken alive for purpose.
She must defeat that purpose, either
by escaping or by bringing her own
death about In attempting to escape
She dared not think of the horror that
lay behind, lest it unnerve her and
make her fail.
Leaving the open country. the raid
ers took to the highroad. If they had
eluded the patrols, they did not hope
for long to go unpursued. Their safest
course lay in open flight by the fastest
practicable route to the hills. They
spared neither their horses nor them
selves.
1t so happened that the animal rid

poorest Of the lot. 1t Jagged. They
who rode beside her were constantly
drawing ahead, and then with curses
refining back. Deceived by her apparent
resignation, they gave her more room.
Ahead Of them, when they had rid
den for about twenty minutes, the road
swung round high-ba nked bend. Out
of the slope n tree thrust branch
over the road. Bess saw, and took her
one chance.
A furtive twitch at the reins caused
her horse to lag still more decidedly.
The others won to full length ahead
as they swept round the curve.
Raising both arms, the girl caught
the overhanging branch and lifted her.
self bodily from the saddle. The horse
rocketed on, relieved of it's burden, at
somewhat faster pace.
But the efforts she made to swing
up on the limb of the tree and by that
route gain the top of the bank was
hopeless. She had put too great stress
upon her strength in her struggle; it
failed her now. She dangled helpless
ly for n moment or two, then dropped
to the roadway.
AS soon as that happened. terror
lent her new strength. She turned and
ran wildly back along the road, seek
ing some place where she might find
temporary cover by the roadside.
That refuge was denied her. On the
one hand was open country, destitute
of anything considerable enough to
hide behind; on the other, the concave
wall of the bluff.
And already her escape was discov-
cred. She could hear the thunder of
returning hoofs. Still she held on, run
ming as she had never dreamed she
would be able to run, despite her
straining lungs and aching muscles.
The hoofs were very close behind
her now. She put forth one last en-
deavor-which failed in its inception.
Overtakng her, the Mexicans rode
up on either side. AS she ran, the
riders swung down from their saddles,
caught her arms. lifting her fairly
Off her feet and holding her so while
they wheeled their horses and dashed
back.
Scorching heat helped Bud Morgan's
return to consciousness. He reused
slowly, rolled over to get farther
away from the flames that were de-
vouring his home, and sat up with
splitting pain in his head.
The hand that he instinctively lifted
to his temple came away dripping with
blood. Yet he was not seriously
wounded. The bullet had cut n deep
furrow in the side Of his head, but
had failed to penetrate the skull. To
the temporary unconsciousness that
followed the wound, he owed his pres
ent liberty and his escape from tor
tured death somewhere In those hills
to the south.
Yet life was bitter to SAVIOR anew.
AS he staggered away from the burn
ing house that entombed his mother,
he came upon the riddled body of his
son.
What his subsequent actions were
he never knew. 1t was late afternoon
when he rode up to the Charming ha-
cienda, more mad than sane, on the
back Of horse without saddle OF
Drldle.
1t was an hour later before he re-
covered sufficiently to gasp out his
tale of horror to Patria and Donald
Parr in the library.
When he had finished, the man
bowed his head on his folded arms,
and sat racked with dry, convulsive
sobs.
On either side Of him Patria and
Donald sought, then avoided. eacs

Waco, Tex.-A sons devotion to his
father was witnessed here recently
when Roscoe Watson, a member of the
Texas National Guard, told Judge II. /.

the penalty assessed against his father,
T. II. Watson, who was guilty of the
murder of John S. Patterson, state
commissioner of banking and insur-
ance, and sentenced to 90 years in

The jury took the case at night at

turned next morning at 10 80.
Watson, 1t was charged, shot Pat
terson ut Teague on August 2S, after
Patterson had closed the Farmers and
Merchants State bank at that place,
of which Watson was president. Pat

Berkeley, Cal.-Scientists at the
University of California have discov-

nounced. Tethelin is what they call
1t. 1t is in the pituitary body at the
base of the brain, and by retarding or
accelerating its functions it may be
possible, according to the Berkeley
scientists, to control the stature of hu-
man beings.
Announcement of the discovery was
made by DIR. T. Il. Robertson, profess
sor of biochemistry. who said that he
had succeeded in isolating tethelin and
that he believed it WIS the first time
in the history of biological science that
it had been done.
Doctor Robertson said his expert

He said the Ultimate Importance of the
discovery made by him and his asso-
ciates could not be estimated at this
time.
