terest lay In following Pages move
ments, and he spurred swiftly forward
to see whether his messenger had re-
sumed the gap trail and gone on with
his mission. He followed this quest al
most to the mountains, without recov-
ering any trace of Pages rig. He
halted. 1t was certain now that Page
had not gone into the gap.
PerpleXed and annoyed, De Spain,
from the high ground on which he sat
his horse, cast his eyes far over the
desert. The brilliant sunshine flooded
1t as far as the eye could reach. He
canned the vast space without detect
ing a sign Of life anywhere, though
none better than he knew that any
abundance Of it might be there. But
his gaze caught something of interest
on the fartheSt northern horizon, and
on this his scrutiny rested q long time.
A soft Drown curtain rose just above
h earth line against the blue SKY. To
ward the east it died away and toward
the west it was Gu off by the Super
stition peaks.
De Spain, without giving the weather
signs much thought, recognized their
import, but his mind was filled with
his w anXieties and he rode smart
ly back toward CalabasaS, because he
was not at ease over the puzzles in the
trail. When he reached the depression
where the hOrSemcn had, without any
apparent reason, turned south, he halt
ed. Should he follow them or turn
north to follow Pages wanderings? If
Page had been scared away from the
gap, for a time, he probably had no in
formation that De Spain wanted, and
De Spain knew his cunning and per.
sistence well enough to be confident
he would be back on the gap road, and
within the cover Of the mountains, be-
o a storm should overtake him. On
the north the brown curtain had risen
fast and already enveloped the farthest
peaks Of the range. Letting his horse
stretch its neck, he hesitated a mo-
ment longer trying to decide whether
to follow the men to the south or the
wagon to the north. A woman might
have done better. But no good angel
was there to guide his decision, and in
another IN he was riding rapidly
TO the south with the even, brown,
misty cloud behind him rolling higher
INTO the northern sky.
ITO he c%ontinued)

THE JULY WEATHER

The weather bureau report for the

the normal. The rain fall was 6.3s

CHAPTER XVI.


When Nan rode with De Spain into
Sleepy Cat that morning, Lcfever had
already told their story to Jetfries over
the telephone from Calabasas, and Mrs.
Jeffries had thrown open her house to
receive Nan. Weary from exposure,
confusion and hunger, Nan was only
too grateful for Il refuge.
On the evening of the second day De
Spain was invited To join the family at
supper. In the evening the Jeffrieses
went down town.
De Spain was talking with Nan in
the living room when the telephone bell
rang in the library,

CHANGE OF LEGAL STATUS

John Barton Payne, General Coun-
sci Division of Law, United States
Railroad Administration, has an
nounced the following general policy
with respect to handling of personal
injury claims against railroad COM
panies under federal control:
"The Federal Control Act contem-
plates that suits for personal injuries
may be brought as heretofore, but
provides that executions may not be
levied on the property of the carrier
while, in the possession of the gov
ernment. This means that while a
judgment may be recovered, it de-
wolves upon the Director General to
provide for payment and this places
upon him the responsibility of con-
sidering the merits of the claims and
the persons to whom payment is
made. 1t is. the desire of the Direc-
tor General that justice shall be done
to all employees who are injured in
the discharge of their duties. This
does not mean that verdicts based
upon prejudice or passion shall be
paid or that large sums shall be pail
by the government to attorneys and
SOllclCOrS VINO nave no claim upon Tue
government. The right is reserve
to consider the merits in determin-
ing what prov sion shall be ma le.
at will be the policy of the gov-
ernment to discourage litigation, and
to deal directly with injured persons
to the end that the injured person
may receive the benefit of any amount
which the government pays without
the expense of litigation, and with.
out being compelled to turn over one
third or one-half to an attorney. You
may, therefore, let it be known thai
Such claims will be considered on then

such terms as will enable the person

A MESSAGE TO THE
ga ,. WOMEN OF OHIO
Nahodv Fooled


The president of the Ohio Woman
Suffrage association gave out the fol-
lowing interview, May II:
WORD comes from Washington that
the liquor lobby has appeared on the
scene. The liquor lobby may but now
have come out from under cover, but
if that lobby works in Washington as
it does here in Ohio it has been there
all the time. Is the vote in the United
State Senate to be held up by that
most pernicious of special interests ?
If it is, then let US revise our war
talk and eliminate all mention of de-
mocracy and self-determination of
peoples.
"The war is no excuse for delay
Great. Britain and Canada have en-
franchised their women since the war
began. The war should be an addi-
tional and the final reason for a SIM
liar step in this country. If they are
part of the political constituency OF
their government the loyal women OF
the United States can much more ad-
equately support their government in
the prosecution of the war.
"To permit men too disloyal to be
trusted with war work to vote, an
at the same time withhold the vote
from mothers of sons fighting over.

OUR MARINES

First to fight is his motto,
Fight to the death or win.
Into the gap goes the sea dog,
Old leatherneck's up-to his chin;
Up to his chin in the fighting,
Where the river Marine rolled away,
Red with the blood that was flowing
When our sea devil entered the
fray.
First to fight is his motto,
Fight to the death or win.
How the oncoming hordes were shat
tered,
When our khaki-clad sailors went
in.
Like the sweep of mighty tempest
He crossed the machine-gun swept
plain
To meet the gray hordes of the kaiser
And whip them again and again.
First to fight is his motto,
Fight to the death or win.
There was nothing could stop the gay
devils
1 When once they had let him get in.
He drew his gas mask a bit closer,
While his belt he buckled up
ghter;
Then with his musket gripped tight
He entered the fight,
And the world never saw such
fighter.
