for moment tossed and played with
heeled dangerously, spinning upon Its
left planes as upon an axis.
Instinct alone-and bit of luck to
boot-helped Patria right the ma
chine.
But when she had accomplished
that, she rode alone; the observers
seat was empty.
Resolutely forcing herself not to
think of that poor hulk of a body
dropping like a plummet to death
which would render 1t unrecognizable,
a shapeless, featureless pulp, the girl
swung the biplane round and headed
for home. Two hours later she de-
scended in her aviation field and was
helped down by Donald Parr. From
this one she learned, succinctly, what
had happened.
Pillsbury's force, after q night and
n half day of fruitless scouting, had
fallen afoul Of two motor-cars filed
with Japanese and Mexican officers,
northbound from the secret encamp-
ment for a reconnaissance along the
border. Chief among these officers
were Baron Huroki and General Nogi.
The car containing Nogi had broken
through the resistance offered by the
cow-punchers and fed northward,
hotly hunted as Patria had seen. The
two cow-punchers who had taken the
short cut had arrived at the bridge
just in time to explode mine be-
meath the car as it careered downhill
toward the bridge. Somehow Nogi
had escaped destruction in that busi-
ness; but he was alone in this respect.
So 1t was .Nogi who had been car.
ried back to his command by Patria.
In the meantime Huroki had been
captured and questioned by the cow
punchers; had protested utter ignor-
ance Of the whereabouts of Bess Nor
gan; had changed his mind about that,
confessing that she was n prisoner at
headquarters, when Pillsbury caused
him to face q firing squad. Where
upon Pillsbury had liberated one of
Huroki's companions, instructed by
the Japanese to bring back Bess alone
and unharmed. Otherwise Japan was
to lose one Of its most loyal and eff
cient servants. Pillsbury had prom
ised Huroki that.
Upon the return Of the officer with
Bess, Huroki had been released, in
accordance with the terms Pillsbury
had made, and had started back for
the encampment in the hills. while the
cow-punchers had ridden joyfully
homeward with the rescued girl.
The arrival Of this party at the
hacienda had anticipated Patrla's re-
turn by less than half an hour. And
with the restoration Of his sister, Bud
Morgan's mind had been made whole
again.

VIRGINIA REVENUES INCREASE
Values Unearthed by Examiners
Bring Tax Total to 80 500 OOO

Special Dispatch to The Star,
RICHMOND, Va, October 6-With
the revenues of the state for the year
1917 breaking all records, reaching
nearly s9.5oo,oo0. the reports Of the
assessing officers for this year promise
to bring the total revenues the coming
year to more than s1o.OOO,0oO. with
less than one-fourth Of the state so
far reported and tabulated, the COM
missioners Of the revenue show an in
crease indicating that the total in
crease for the year will exceed $780,
600 900, the increase mentioned being
taxable values. There Is to be added
to this about the same sum from the
examiners of recordt who are just be-
ginning to hand in their reports for
the current year.
These examiners of record are un-
earthing millions OF dollars of prop
erty that has for years escaped taxa
tion. and once it Is on the books the
state does not have to pay any fess
for the collection-it becomes current
property and is assessed each year.
There are thirty-two Of these ex-
aminers, only about six of whom, have
made report this year. The state had
balance to her credit at the end of
September. and this in spite of the
fact that the public school system has
gotten S5SS. 900 more than in any previ-
Gus year.
