An unfathered rumor started thas
Richard was in with the Reclamation

MacLean broke Il lance or two against

The waiting braves sat on their
launches, grinning and smoking their
pipes.
Saturday night the camp went
gloomily TO bed. On the Indian side
there was no revel. no feasting or
dancing.
Richard did not turn in until after
midnight, planning alternatives. He
was sleeping hard when MacLean, at
dawn. dashed into his tent.

MacLean.

the office, announced that they were

favor would be inestimable.
Richard saw the notice later that
day. 1t was nailed to the back plat
form of the Palmyra. He was on Mar
shalfs trail, his chief having failed to
keep an appointment with him. They
were TO test the gate that afternoon !;
Marshall was returning soon to Tue
son.
Richard turned back toward camp,
deep In thought; so intent that a sharp
cry had lost its echo before the import
came TO him. He stopped, hearing run
ming steps behind him. Innes Hardin
was Looping up the bank like young
deer. with terror in her eyes.

She was trembling. Her fright had
flushed her; cheek TO brow was glow
ing with startled blood. He saw an
odd flash of startling beauty. the veil
of tan torn off by her emotion. The
wave of her terror caught him. He
put out his hand to steady her. She
stood recovering herss If, regaining her
spent breath. Richard remembered
that this was the first time he had seen

since the meeting with the Mexican

He started toward the willows. but
she grabbed his sleeve. "Oh, don't.

He, too, had had his fright. They stood
staring at each other. I'm afraid"
she completed. How he would despise
her cowardicel But she could not let
him know that her fear had been for
him!
He was looking at her. Suppose any
thing had-happened TO her, He had
minute of nausea If that brute had
hurt her-and then he knew how it
was with him.
He looked at her gravely. OF course.
He had known il a long time. 1t was
true. She was going to belong to him.
If that brute had hurt her,
She shrank under his gravity; this
was something she did not understand.
They were silent. walking toward the

The high appreciation OF the British
army authorities for the Waacs is
shown by an invitation now being
made To the girls TO volunteer for
service in Germany. Just as each took
the place of fit man in the critical
days Of the war, so each one who now
volunteers TO go further forward will
enable one more man TO be demObiliZed

a SUNDAY Spectacle,

Trouble with the tribes was well
grown before it was recognized. Dis
affection was ripe, the bucks were
heady, the white mans silver acting
like wine. Few of the braves had
dreamed of ever possessing sums of
money such as they drew down each
Sunday morning. Richard began to
suspect liquor again. In the Indian
camp Sunday was a day of feasting,
followed by a gorged sleep; the next
day one of languor, of growing incO-
hesion.
Richard spoke of 1t to COrOnel.
Like small baby" hunched the old
shoulders. Happy baby. Pretty soon
stop"
With the next wages went a repri-
mand then u warning. Still followed
bad Mondays. Richard then issued q
formal warning TO all the tribes.
The situation with the Indians is
serious" said Richard to MacLean.
They're getting liquor in here, some
way, the Lord only knows how. Any
way. they're not fit for burning Mon
day morning. I've just sent them word
by CoroneI that it's got to quit, or they
do"
Suppose they do?" MacLean was
startled. Not an Indian could be
spared at that stage of the game.
Bluff - Richard got up. They
won't take the chance of losing that
money. I'm off now to the Crossing.
I'll leave you in charge here"
The next morning Wooster broke in
to the ramada where MacLean sat
clicking his typewriter.
"Everything's up. Richards done Ii

They're not going TO quit?"

hours later.
His secretary was weighing him.

showing teeth tobacco had not had a

There was an ominous quiet the next

their tasks on Tuesday morning: they
were told by Richard himself that
