Lefever to the Rescue.

Lefever, chatting in the aspen grove
under the restraint Of Whiting in the
storm. was ready long before daylight
to break orders and ride in to hnd
De Spain.
With the first peep Of dawn, and
with his men facing him in their sad
dies, Lefever made "A short explanation.
81 don't want any man to 20 into the
gap with me this morning under any
misunderstanding or any false pre-
tense" he began cheerfuIly. Bob

The fire came steadily back. and de-
llberately, without the least intimatiOn
of being affected by De Spain's return.
She had never before seen man
shooting to kill another. The very
horror of watching De Spain, at bay
among the rocks, fascinated her. Since
the first day they had met she had
hardly seen a rifle in his hands. She
strove to look. The butt Of the heat
ing rifle lay close against the red
marked cheek she knew so we'll and
to the tips of the fingers every par
ticle of the mans being was alive
with strength and resource. Some
strange fascination drew her senses
out toward him as he knelt and threw
shot after shot at the distant figure
hidden on the ridge. She held out
her arms and clasped her hands
toward him in an act Of devotion.
Then, while she looked, breathlessly,
he took his eyes an instant from the
sights He's running" exclaimed DE
Spain as the rifle butt went instantly
back to his cheek whoever he is,
God help him now"
The words were more fearful to
Nan than an imprecatiOn. He had
driven his enemy from the scant cover
OF rut in the trail. and the man was
fleeing for new cover and for life.
Bullet after bullet pitilessly led the
escaping wretch. Suddenly De Spain
Jerked the rifle from his cheek, threw
back his head. and swept his left hand
across his straining eyes. Once more
the rifle came up to place and flame

shot again In the gray morning light
from the hot muzzle. The rifle fell
away from the shoulder. The black
speck running toward the ranchhouse
stumbled, as II stricken by an ak, and
sprawled headlong on the trail. Throw
ing the lever again like lightning. De
Spain held the rife back TO his cheek.
He did not fire. Second after sec
ond he waited Nan watched the rifle
slowly come down, unfred, and saw
his drawn face slowly relax. Without
taking his eyes Off the sprawling
speck, he rose stihly to his feet. As If

The sun, bursting in splendor across
the great desert, splushed the valley
and the low-lying ridge with ribboned
gold. Farther up the gap horsemen,
stirred by the firing, were riding rap
idly down toward Sussoon's ranch
house. But the black thing In the
sunshine lay quite still.

Puppets Of Fate.

Puppets OF Fate.
When Nan rode with DE Spain into
Sleepy Cat that morning, Lefeyer Ind
already told their story to Jeffries over
the telephone from Calubasns, and Mrs
Jrffries had thrown open her house to
receive Nan. Weary from exposure
confusion and hunger, Nan was only
too grateful for a refuge.
On the evening Of the second day De
Spain WAS invited to join the family at
supper. In the evening the Jrffriescs,
went down town.
De Spain was talking with Nan In
the living room when the telephone hell
rang In the library.
De Spain took the call, and mans
voice answered his salutatinn. The

seemed particular to make sure Of his
identity.

once. and somewhat testify, "is Henry

Young Lieutenant in Navy Takes Bride
in New York City.
Friends in this city will be pleased
to learn of the marriage in New York
City Saturday of Lieut.. Frank Jacl
Fletcher, U. S. N. and Miss Martha
Richards, Of Kansas City. The young
people had not expected to be mar
ried until June, but orders received by
Lieutenant fletcher, to prepare for sea
duty in preparation with possible
conflict with Germany, caused a
change in the plans.
Lieutenant Fletcher is the younger
son of Mr.. and Mrs Thomas Fletcher
for many years Of this city, and now
of San Gabriel, Cal. Young Fletcher
has been in the navy since his gradu-
alton from naval academy at An
napolis. and prior to the retirement Of
his uncle, Admiral Frank Friday
Fletcher, acted as secretary to the adj
miral on his flagship, the Wyoming.
More recently Lieutenant Fletcher has
been acting as an instructor in the
naval academy. Mr.. Fletchers bride
is the daughter of a wholesale hard
ware dealer Of Kansas City.
Admiral a~d Mrs. Fletcher will give
a dinner Tuesday evening compli-
mentary TO Lieutenant Fletcher and
his bride at the Fletcher home IN

A MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION.
u Trovatore With co.Stars Joseph
Sheehan and NeiIi Gardini Tuesday.

When Joseph F. Sheehan. Americas
greatest Manrico. and Nelli Gardini
Europe's greatest Leonora, decided to
join forces it was only natural that
they should choose for their initial CO.
star vehicle verdi's masterpiece, II
Trovatore. -
Opera singers, like people IN other
professions. have certain preferences.
Some are great in one opera, some III
others. therefore. in selecting the cast
to support these two famous stars.
special attention was paid to get only
artists who have won renown in their
respective parts in II Trovatore.
Joseph F. Sheehan Is said by conape-
tent critics to be one of the greatest
Manricos in II Trovatore the world has
ever known.
Mile. Gardini is without q peer as
Leonora, in fact it is doubtful if any
other living artist equals her in the
role.
Elaine De Sellem has won her big
gest laurels as Azucena, the Gypsy Hag
in II Trovatore. and so on down the
line, every artist was chosen because
he or she was eminently fitted for the
one particular role they were assign
ed to.
The result. we'll suppose you picture
for yourself what such a cast together
with a specially selected chorus and
augmented orchestra and beautiful
scenic production would do in II
Trovatore. It you have any magma
ton at all you will not miss it. Odeon.
