 Got anything to eat with you. I'm starving" he snapped.
 Yes. I shot some quail. Let go my hand"
 He laughed evilly. without mirth. Don't try any of your sassy ways on me. I'm wolf on the howl"
 She fought and twisted till she was worn out in her efforts to free herself Painting. she faced him.
 Let me go. tell you"
 For answer his open hand struck her mouth. "Not till you learn your boss. Before I'm through with you a Squaw won't be half so tame as you"
 He dragged her to the horse, took from its case the rifle that hung by the saddle. and flung her from him roughly. Then he pulled himself to the saddle.
 March ahead of me" he ordered.
 As soon as they had reached the bed of the canon he called halt and bade her light fire and cook him the quail. She gathered ironwood and catclaw while he watched her vigilantly. To- gether they roasted the birds by hold ing them over the fire with sharpened sticks thrust through the wings. He devoured them with the voracity of a wild beast.
 Hitherto his mind had been busy with the immediate present, but now his furtive shifting gaze rested on her more thoughtfully. He dared not leave her in the prospect hole. He was not yet ready to do murder. for fear of punishment. That was possibility to he considered only if he should be hard pressed. The only alternative left him was to take her to the border as 4 companion of his fugitive dou- E.lngs.
 'Well he going now" he announced. after he had eaten.
 Going where? Don't you see I'll be drag to you? Take my horse and go. You'll get along faster"
 Do you think so?"
 For the first time 1t came to her that if he did not take her with him he would kill her to insure his own safety None of the arguments that would have availed with another man were of any weight here. Her sex, her youth, the service she had done him these would not count straw. He was lost to all the instincts of honor that govern even hard desperate men of his class.

The legion's Share.

One of the first posts of. the Ameri- can Legion to take part in the funeral of a comrade whose body was brought from overseas was Roy w. Kelly post of Ashland, Wis. The body of Pvt. William E. Boyle arrived at Ashland recently with Private Ford of the Twenty-seconsi infantry as escort. A committee of Roy w. Kelly post es- corted the coffin from the train to a chapel where legionaires stood guard until the services on the following day. The members of the post attend ed the funeral in civilian clothes, with she exception of the pail bearers and the firing squad. who were in full uniform. The body was escorted from the chapel to the church, where legion members were seated in a group. Af ter the services the post formed ranks in front of the hearse and marched to the city limits. Here the ranks were opened and the men uncovered while the hearse passed through. The pail bearers and the firing squad fol- lowed the cortege to the cemetery for the final ceremonies and salute.

HAS PREPAREDNESS IN MIND
Infantry Board Is Seeking Suggestions on How the Service May Be
 Improved.

Col. c. s. Farnsworth, U. g. A., president of the infantry board. re- gently created by the war department to function in connection with the In- fantry school at Camp Benning. Ga. has appealed to the American Legion, through National Commander D'Olier. for ideas and suggestions on how the infantry service may be improved.
 "The hoard feels,". Colonel Farms worth's letter reads, that included in the membership of the American Le- zion are great many whose studies and wide experience both before and during the world war have resulted in their having some very definite anL valuable ideas as to how the infantry service can be improved, and it would greatly appreciate the cooperation of these members to this end. All com munications should be addressed to the president, Infantry Board. Camp Benning Ga"
 The head oe the board, which is the first and only agency to be established for the sole purpose of improving the infantry service, adds that the term Is not to be construed as referring only to the infantry of the regular army.
 "On the contrary" he says, "the in- fantry board has in mind that vast army of doughboys' that assemblies un- der the infantry colors' in time of any great war"
 "nen Camp Benning school is full ly functioning, there will be among its personnel field officers, company off, cers and enlisted men from every In. fantry regiment in the regular army, and officers from the National Guard and tho reserve corps.
 "1ne proper military preparedness of our country" Is set forth as the ul- timate goal of Improvements of the infantry service"

 She lifted her eyes and met his. Then she knew it had to come out, that the feeling banked in him would overflow in words.
 Because you're the girl love-"
 He had not intended to say it now. lest he might seem to be urging his services as claim upon her. But the words had slipped out in spite of him.
 She held out her two hands to him with a little gesture of surrender. The light of love was in her starry eyes.
 And then
 She was in his arms, and the kisses he had dreamed about were on his lips.

 A spasm of pain shot across Luck's face. My God."
 "By gum. there he Is now, Luck" :" Sweeney's finger pointed to an ad- vancing rider.
 Cullison swung as on a pivot in time to see some one drop into the dip in the road. just beyond the corral. "Who -Blackwell?"
 No. Cass."
 Fendrick reappeared presently and turned in at the lane. Culiison, standing on the porch at the head of the steps looked like a man who was passing through the inferno. But he looked. too, personified day of judg- ment untempered by mercy.

 With the touch of rein she guided her horse toward the sound. It might mean nothing. On the other hand it might bc call for help. Her shout brought an answer which guided her to the edge of prospect hole. In the darkness she made out an indistinct figure.

Of more II an Tour day Membership figures have not yet been compiled, but l. when it is realized that at least ten women are a necessary requisite for the formation of any one auxiliary unit of any American Legion post 1t is seen that probably 12,000 or 15,OOO women were thus indirectly associated with the legion through its auxiliary units before the end of last month. To what proportions this total will have grown In another six months is for ex- perts to say, but an estimate of 1000 units with total membership of more than 15,000 is not considered extrava gant.

CHAPTER lx-Continued.

The firing this time did not last more than five seconds. When the smoke cleared 1t was all over Soapy lay on his back, shot through and through. Blackwell had taken advan- tage of the diversion to crawl through the strands of barbed wire and to dis. appear in the chaparral. Bill had rolled over on hts face.
 Dick was bending over Stone. He looked Ip at the approach of Curly and said just one word.

 Cullison had torn open Cranston's shirt and was examining his wounds.
 "No use, Luck. I've got a-plenty You sure fooled US though Was 1t Sam gave us away?"

 He wasn't shot. Curly saved him. He had to give you away to do it."

 A quarter of an hour later he died. He had lied to save from the peniten- tiary the lad who had brought about his death. Curly knew why he had done it-because he felt himself to blame for the affair. Maybe Bad Bill had been desperado a miscreant ac- cording to the usual standard. but when It came to dying he knew how to go better than many a respectable citi- zen. Curly stole off into the darkness so that the boys would not see him play the baby.

The ProdiuaI Gon.

They found the prodigal son With his sister and Laura London at the Del Mar. Repentance was writ large all over his face and manner. From Da- wis and from the girls he had heard the story of how Soapy Stone had in tended to destroy him. His scheme of life had been broken into pieces and he was badly shaken young scamp.
 When Luck and Curly came into the room he jumped up, very white about the lips.
 Father"
 My boy!"
 Cullison had him by the hand. one arm around the shaking shoulders.
 "What-what-?"
 Sans question broke down. but his father guessed it.
 "Soapy and Bad Bill were killed, Dutch is prisoner. and Blackwell es- capped. All Spring Valley Is out after him."
 The boy shuddered and drew long sobbing breath. Eve been fool. fla ther-and worse"
 Forget it. son. We'll wipe the slate clean. I've been to blame, too"
 It was no place for outsiders. Curly beat a retreat into the next room. The young women followed him. Both of them were frankly weeping. Arms twined about each others waists they disappeared into an adjoining bed room.
 Don't go." Kate called to him over her shoulder.
 Curly sat down and waited. Pres enly Kate came back alone. Her shin ing eyes met his,
 'I never was so happy in all my life before. Tell me what happened everything, please"
 As much as was good for her to know Curly told Without saying word she listened till he was through
 At last she spoke in a low. sweet voice.
 "What can we do for you? First you save father and then Sam. You rlsked everything for my brother-to win him back to Us, to save his life and now his reputation. If you had been killed people would always have be- Ksred you were one of the gang"
