 Across Dry valley dust cloud had been moving for hours. It rolled into Saguache at the brisk heels of d bunch of horses just about the time the town was settling itself to supper. From out of the heart of it cantered rider, who swung his pony as on half dol lar, and def1ected the remuda toward Chunn's corral.
 The rider was in the broad-rimmed felt hat, the gray shirt, the plain leath- CT chaps of a vaQuero. Under other conditions he might have been col lege freshman for age, but the compe- tent confidence of manhood sat easily on his broad shoulders. Curly Elan drau had more than once looked into the chill eyes of death.
 The leaders of the herd drbbled into the corral through the open gate, and the others crowded on their heels. Three more riders followed Curly into the inelosure. One of them, red haired young fellow of about the same age as Curly, swung stitliy from the saddle.
 Me for a square meal first off, he cave out promptly.
 Not till we've finished this business Mae. We'll put a deal right through if Warren's here" decided third mem Der of the party. He was tough-look- ing customer of nearly fifty. Bad Bill' CranSton he was called, and the man looked as if he had earned his sobri- Quet.
 And what if he ain't here?" snarled Lute Blackwell. Are you aiming to sit down and wait for him?"
 "Well cross that bridge when we come to it." Bad Bill answered. Curly, want to ride up to the hotel and ask if Mir Dave Warren is there? Bring him right down if he is.'
 The young man cantered up the dusty street toward the hotel.
 "Thought you'd fixed it with this Warren to be right on the spot sos we could unload on him prompt" Blackwell grumbled at Cranston with out looking toward the latter.
 q didn't promise he'd be hanging round your neck soon as you hit town Cranston retorted coolly.
 The owner of the corral sauntered from the stable and glanced over the bunch of horses milling around.
 "Drive all the way from Bar Double M?" asked the keeper his eyes on the brand stamped on the flank of a pony circling past.
 "Yep."
 Bad Bill turned away and began to unsaddle.
 Looks like you been hitting the road at right lively gait"
 Mac cut in. Shoulder of my broncs chafed from the saddle. Got anything fhat'll heal it?"
 You bet l have" The man hurried into the stable and the red-headed cow puncher winked across the back of his horse at Bill.
 The keeper of the stable and the young man were still busy doctoring the sore when Curly arrived with War ren. The buyer was a round-bodied man with black gimlet eyes that saw much he never told. The bargain he take long to come to terms at about One-third the value of the string he was purchasing. Very likely he had his suspicious, but he did not voice them. No doubt they cut figure in the price. He let 1t be understood that he was supply agent for the rebels in Mexico. Before the bills were warm In the pockets of the sellers, his vaQueros were mounted and were asovlng the remuda toward the border.

ACTION! ACTION!
 ACTION!

Here's a story with ac- tion, action, action. Out where the West begins is still the land of romance, and this is the heart of the oId-fashioned West in the days of the cowboy, the cattle rustIer, the horse. thief, the outlaw, the ex- press robber, the sheriff's posse, the bloody and thrilling battles with the six-gun. There are some human and Iovable people in whose fortunes we are intsrested, and some bad men" who very properly die with their boots on. Quite a plot there is, too. But action, action, action the story moves with a rush.

Catholic Hospitals
Hold State Meeting
st. GATHERINGS Hospital Represented in
Notable Gathering in Milwaukee
on Tuesday.

The first state conference of Catholic
hospital associations ever held, opened
in Milwaukee on Tuesday. Thirty-one
hospitals of Wisconsin were repre-
scented. The sisters were welcomed by
Archbishop S. G. Messmer, who said in
part: There is need for conference
of this very type. There has hereto
fore been too much individualism in
our Catholic hospitals. The exchange
of ideas on the management of our
hospitals, the study of state and NUM-
cipal laws that affect our hospitals, and
other topics that are bound to come up
can not but be of value. 1t is neces-
sary to be up to date, but that which
helps more than anything else is the
religious spirit back of our hospitals"
The other speakers at the first days
conference were the Rev. H. C. Noonan,
president of Marquette University;
DR.. L. F. Jermain, president of the
staff of St. Joseph's hospital; and the
Rev. Joseph c. Straub, president of St.
Johns hospital, Springfield, III.

Park Board Takes
over Calkins Property
Historic Old House on Lake Shore to
Be Moved to Make Way for
Larger Park.

The Kenosha park board today form
ally took over the residence OF the late
Orla M. Calkins on Durkee avenue and
added it to the property known as the
Eichelman Park. The price was SIS, 900
and bonds at $40 interest have been
issued for the purchase price. The
bonds may be taken up at any interest
paying period. While the definite
plans for the utilization of the prop
erty have not been made, the old house
will be moved and the property added
to Eichelman Park. Just what will be
done with the house is to be decided
in the future. 1t is not believed that
it would be suitable for comfort sta
tion or for any other uses of the park
board and it will probably be sold to
someone who will move it away and
convert it into home. The old Calk-
ms home is one of the historic resi-
dences along the lake shore.

up. Are you ready to go down %
Sometimes think Ann never is real
" herself but that she is always act
ing part. Sometimes / believe that
many persons go through life acting
Just like Ann.
In another moment, she faced the
situation with her mothers sense of
good drama. AS she greeted the men,
her first callers in her glittering new
reception room, she looked like an ex-
cited, defiant, naughty little ''flapper''
and not at all like young married
woman who had involved herself in
the greatest murder mystery of the
decade.
There was good deal of petnlance
IN her voice as she told her tale to
Morrison and Mahon, one of daddy's
lawyers.
Morrison didn't interrupt her, did
MT cross-question her or try to con-
fuse her. Once or twice he stopped
her to ask me, for Mahon's benefit, if
AIMS story was just as she had told
it to me.
1t was so, in every particular.
Finally Ann described how she had
faced Ives as she stood on the platform
half way up the hill above the beach
This was at the instant the bullet
was fired, she said. Ives was looking
at her, was in the act of motioning to
her, when he wavered, staggered and
turned half around before he fell.
At this point Morrison rose and
moved about the room restlessly. Ma
hon was nervous, could see.
After the poor child had finished her
recital, | was asked how | had learn
ed Of AIMS plan to meet Ives, and
why I had gone to prevent the meet
ing and had fingered on the grounds
after hearing of the murder undecided
what course to take, and how Ann had
surprised me by stepping from the
bushes onto the running board of my
ear.
At this point the men questioned me
as to the state of AIMS nerves at the
time. After hundred questions,
Morrison and Mahon consulted in the
dining room, to the vast establishment
of AIMS new and very respectable
butler, felt sure.
Finally the men came back.
"Mr. Mahon is going to ask you two
ladies to do very difficult thing"
Morrison said.

Sometimes Think Ann Is Only Acting
a Part, Like Others.
From the rear door of the Colonial
hall, could see Ann slipping between
the shrubs and trees of the lawn to-
ward the alley back of the garden.
She stopped slightly and walked fast.
Her attitude was one of fear, | asked
myself why she should run away if
she were innocent? And I shivered as
pictured her situation: Behind here
was one of the best detectives in the
world waiting to question her; before
her, whichever way she turned, was
the guard of plain-clothes men. She
could walk out of the garden, Of course
but wherever she might go, sleuth
would follow.
And she alone was responsible for
getting into the scrape! Her own
vanity had been her undoingl
I hurried after Ann. Hearing my
step, she paused by the table under
the pergola and lifted her chin def
antly. For once in her life, her Gus
tomary affectation of boredom had fall
len from her.
what do you want? Why do you
bring that big man here 2"
I explained about Morrison: he
was a loyal friend of the Lorimers; he
was the most honest of human beings;
he would help her as far as was con-
sistent with his conscience; it was
really fortunate that she had this
chance to tell him why she was in the
park when Ives was shot, and to ex-
plain about the bathing suit and the
gun.
you've always hated me! Now you
bring detective to trap mel ! tell
you, once more, that did not shoot
Claude Ives!" she sobbed.
"Come-let's tell that to Morrison
insisted. Hes just the grandest
gentleman ever, and he'll treat you
like his own daughter, but he won't
let you put thing over him. He's
phoning to get one of Daddy LOrimer's
lawyers to come out-and bring a stem
ographer-so that things will be reg
ular. Now come alohg!"
I led Ann to her room where she
bathed her face, powdered her nose
and recovered her pose. encOur-
aged her:
That's right! Be your mothers
daughter!"
"I'll try. But sometimes my fathers
