poorest OF the lot. It Jagged. They
who rode beside her We're 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 a tree thrust n 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 its 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; II
failed her now. She dangled helpless
ly for 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 dlscov-
cred. She could hear the thunder of
returning hoofs. Still she held on, rum
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.
Overtalsing 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-

splitting pain In his head.
The hand that he instinctlvely lifted
to his temple came away dripping with
blood. Yet he was not seriously
wounded. The bullet had cut deep
furrow In the side Of his head, but
hnd failed to penetrate the skull. To
the temporary Inconsistencies that
followed the wound, he owed his pres
ent liberty and his escape from tor

REALTY COMPANY FILES
ANSWER TO CUSTER SUIT
Insists District Code Does Not Pro-
hibit It From Operating Here
Under Foreign Charter.

The United States Realty Company,
by Arthur E. Randle. its president. to-
day fled answer to the quo warranto
proceedings recently instituted against
the corporation to show why it exer-
cises the privilege of owning. subdi-
viding and selling real estate in the
District Of Columbia. The proceeding
was filed by United States Attorney
Laskey, who claimed the company was
unwarrantedly exercising corporate
functions which are forbidden to local
corporations.
Through Attorney William G. John
son the company admits it is exercising
the functions. as claimed. but declares
it does so under the provisions Of its
charter. granted by the state of Vir-
ginia. 1t is asserted that while the
District code forbids the forming of a
corporation to buy, sell and subdivlde
real estate, except realty brokers, there
is nothing which forbids foreign cor
porations from performing the func-
tions of their charters. The company
also claims that at least sixteen other
foreign corporations. which it enumer-
ates. are operating in this District in
the same manner as the United States
Realty Company without question by
the United States attorney.
President Randle says the company
does not contemplate the purchase of
other property. but should be allowed
to dispose of what it now owns. To do
this he tells the court, the company
must exercise the right to subdivide,
improve and sell the property in the
ordinary course of business. Some of
the company's holdings were acquired.
it Is pointed out. in satisfaction of
debts and it has the lawful right to
dispose of this under the District code.
