Marine Club Dance

The Marine club of FL Centre has
announced it's third dance to be given
in the Masonic hall tomorrow evening.
The boys have been working hard
for the past few weeks lining things
into shape for a successful affair and
have called upon the people to help
them push it over big.
The reason for the dance has been
kept a secret until today one of the
men let it out. 1t seems one of the
ex-marines located in the valley has
been placed in a very embarrassing
position financially and the boys in
the club have planned the dance for
his benefit.
AS there are not enough ex-marines
in the Imperial valley to fill the hall
they have called upon everyone in the
city to aid them.

CHAPTER XIV.

The success OF Bryce CardIgan's
plan for getting his rails down from
Laurel creek depended entirely upon
the whmsy which might seize the crew
OF the big mogul that hauled the last
load OF logs out Of Cardigan's red
woods on Thursday afternoon. should
the engineer and fireman decide TO
leave the locomotive az the logging
camp for the night. Bryce's task would
be as simple as turning hose down
squirrel hole. On the ether hand,
should they run back to SeQuoia with
the engine, he and ogilvy faced the al
tentative Of borrowing" II from the
Laguna Grande Lumber company's
Foundhouss; and that operation, In
view OF the fact that Pennington's night
Waterman would be certain to hear the
engine leaving, offered dificulties.
Throughout the afternoon, after
having sent his orders IN writing 70

(for he dared not trust to the tele-
phone), he waited In his ONCE for a
telephone call from the logging camp
as TO what action the engine crew had
taken. Finally, at quarter of six,

he reported.

on Into the night Il was followed b.
fusillade, the bullets kicking up the
freshly disturbed earth among the
workers and sending them scurrying
to various points Of safety. In an In

"What would be the usef This will

A rife shot rang out from the side

to the men by stepping into the open
and starting briskly to work with
shovel.
At the bottom OF the pile Of lumber
the Black Minorca was discovered with
q severe flesh wound In his right hip;
also he was suffering from numerous
bruises and Commissions. George Sen
Otter possessed himself of the fallen
cholo's rife, while Bryce picked the
wretch up and carried him to his auto,
