Indebtedness that hangs over

named to put into execution

for the progressive Negroes

New Years Message.
This is the first great duty

Greatness of DOUGLASS.
Douglass was the great Col
ored Abolitionist. An escap-
ed slave, he eventually waged
an independent campaign of
agitation for the freedom of
his own race. The approach
his cetenary should be the sig
nal for his people to rally to
the standard of a fight of our
race for rights denied because

tOgether-yOu, Pedro and l. Those
thieves do their stealing when they
leave no tracks"
The sky was leaden. the rain still
fell In the morning when Dave and
his two companions set out Until
afternoon they rode. their slickers
dripping, swaying to the tireless fox
trot of their steaming horses. their
eyes engaged in watchful scrutiny.
AT last Pedro, who was ahead,
refined in and pointed; the others saw
where the barbed-wire strands of the
fence they had been following were
clipped. A number of horse and calf
tracks led through the opening, and
after an examination Ricardo an
nOunced:
There are two men. They have
come and gone, with the calves tied
neck and neck"
"That Is Las Palmas, isn't 1T" Law
indicated the pasture into which the
trail led.
Father and son answered, ISL, Sc
nor"
For time the Ranger lounged side
wise In his saddle, studying the cOun-
try before him. Perhaps a half-mile
away long. narrow patch of woods,
with the tops of occasional oaks
showing. ran parallel with the fence
for considerable distance.
'They took them in yonder, to
brand" he said, Strengthening him
self. Maybe We'll be in time"
Side by side the three men rode of
Guzman's land. following the tracks
to th, nearest point Of woods; there
Law stopped to give his directions.
PEDRO, you ride down this side;
Ricardo, you skirt the outside. shall
keep to the middle. Walk your horses,
for shall 60 slowly" With dubious
shake of the head Ricardo rode away,
while Dave guided Bessie Belle into
the grove.

then they stopped to listen, but the
rain was heavy enough to drown all
other noises. Encountering fresh
tracks finally, Dave leaned from his
saddle and studied them. He had
gone perhaps half q mile when Bessie
Belle raised her head, and he noted
that her nostrils were working sensi.
lively. Law fancied that he could de-
tect the smell of wood fire. Farther
along they came to place where the
brush was low, and there, rising
through the treetops beyond he saw a
wavering plume of blue smoke.
The Ranger rode into sight of the
branding fire with his repeater
across his saddle horn and his thumb
upon the hammer: what followed
came with almost the binding sud-
denness Of lightning crash. First
there was the picture of a sandy glade,
in the center Of which burned fire
with branding irons in it, and spot
ted calf tied to tree, but otherwise
no sign Of life. Then, without warn
ing, Bessie Belle threw up her head
In that characteristic trick of hers, and
simultaneously Dave saw figure rise
out of the grass at his left with a
rifle leveled. With the first jerk of
his horses mead his own gun nad
leaped to his shoulder-he was not
conscious Of having willed 1t to do
so-and even as he pressed the trlg-
ger he felt Bessie Belle give way. The
next instant his feet still in the stir
rups, were on the ground and his
horse lay between them, motionless.
That nervous fling Of her head had
saved Dawes life,~ for the rustler's
bullet had shattered her skull in its
flight, and she lay prone, with scarcely
muscular twitch, so sudden had been
her end.
For moment the Ranger was
dazed. He stood staring down at his
pet; then the truth engulfed him. He
realized that he had ridden her to
her death, and at the thought he be-
came like woman bereft of her
child, like lover who had seen his
sweetheart slain.
A shout-it was a hoarse, inarticu-
late cry; swift, maddened scrutiny
that searched the sodden scene of the

mare, calling her name heartbrokenly,
his arms around her neck. his face
against her warm, wet, velvet hide.
Law knew that two men had en-
tered the thicket, and therefore one
still remained to be reckoned with,
but he gave no thought to that. From
the corner of his eye he could see a
pair of bOotsoles staring at him out
of the grass, and they told him there
was not need for investigation. Near
the body he heard the calf stirring, but
he let it struggle.
