 "We couldn't afford to lose" he said. "The price paid was terrific, but it was worth 1t, provided We can keep the advantages gained. One thing that gets my goat is the self-compiacency of those people here at home-they have no conception of what is or has heen going on in Europe, and don't seem to realize that we are just as vitally interested in world problems as the people of Europe.
 "We see too many politicians In of- fee standing idly by while the re- sources of the country are being wasted. We see two groups at Wash ington sparring for an issue for the next election, evidently trying to lose the advantages the soldiers gained. But I have an unlimited faith that we shall square ourselves to meet the new day.

Ordinarily, they got theif chow and went on deck to eat it. but when it rained they were not even al. lowed above decks.

To Bolt his disappearance was as good as confession of guilt. He searched Luck's room at the hotel Among other things. he found an old envelope with interesting data pen ciled on it.
 Before nightfall the word was whis- pered all over Saguache that Luck Cullison. pioneer cattleman anI for mer sheriff, was suspected of she w. X $. express robbery and hac fled to save himself from arrest. At trst men marveled that one so well known and so popular one who had been so prom inent in affairs, could be suspected of the evidence and saw 1t fall like blocks of n building into place. the conviction grew that he was the masked bandit wanted by the sheritf.
 
 Red-headed Bob Cullison finished making the diamond hitch and proudly called his cousin Kate to inspect the packhorse.
 You never saw the hitch thrown better. sis" he bragged, boylike. Uncle Luck says I do it well as he can"
 Its fine, Bob" his cousin agreed. with the proper enthusiasm In her dark eyes. "You'n have to teach me how to do 1t one of these days"
 She was in khaki riding skirt, and she pulled herself to the saddle of her own horse. From this position she gave him final instructions before leav- ing.
 It had been on Wednesday morning that Luck Cullison disappeared from the face of the earth. Before twenty four hours the gossip was being whis- pered in the most distant canons of Papago county. The riders of the Circle c knew 1t. but none of them had yet told either Bob or Kate.
 Now 1t was Friday morning and Kate was beginning to wonder why her father did not call her up. Could it be that Soapy Stone was pulling of his train robbery at Tin Cup and her father so busy that he could not take time to ride to q telephone stationy She did not like to leave the ranch just now. even for few hours, but other business called her away. Sweeney was holding down the fort at the Del Orc against Fendrick's sheepherders, and his weekly supply of provisions had to be taken to him. Since she wanted to see with her own eyes how things were getting along at the canon. she was taking the supplies in person.
 She rode from sunlight into shadow and from shadow to sunlight again, winding along the hin trail that took her toward the Del Orc. After hours of travel she came to the saddle from which one looked down to the gap in the canon walls that had been the com mon watering place of all mems cat tie. but now was homesteaded by her father.
