across the American desert and
Susan takes the opportunity to
give her dog an airing. They are
left behind and after long hours
Susan finds herself at nightfall in
a tumbledown shack. Jimmy Daw-
son turns up there, too, and dons
rough garb. In this guise Susan
sees him for the first time and is
sure that he is a hold-up man. Her
suspicious are confirmed when the
real desperadoes appear and jim
my pretends he is one of them.
Thanks TO the code he is able to
apprise Susan's father of his
daughters danger and eventually
she is rescued. What happens af-

from an opinion of the supreme
