II appeal to you as farmers Of South
Dakota to get squarely behind the
farm bureau movement. Make the
county farm bureau a real service sta.
ton for the farmers of your counties
and state; finance it so well that you
can get and secure an efficient county
agent and a good home demonstator,
Give special attention to the boys and
girls club work. Make the farm bu-
reau vital and real not only in every
county and every community, but in
every home; provide sufficient funds
that the state federation may do the
things for the farmers if your state
that are too lar. e for a single county
to d.. Keep as leaders men whose
heads are on their shoulders and
whose feet are amongst the grass
roots; keep clear from politics and all
en~tangling alliances, and remember
that in a national deal, the American
Farm Bureau Federation is ready to
render the very best service within
the power Of its officers"

And, releasing his grip upon her, he
allowed the girl to rise.
As she stood there in the half light,
her gray eyes flashing, her young
bosom rising and falling, she was a
vaguely defined but alluring figure. So
Juan Cateras thought, and he took q
step nearer, his thick, red lips curling
with lust, eager to claim their rich re-
ward. AS they came closer Stella
Donovan stiffened.

She heard the rock sound against her
oppressor's head, heard a low moan
escape his lips, and saw him sink slow

The next instant she was beside him,
in terror lest she had killed him; but
a hurried glance, supplemented by her
fingers which reached for his pulse,
assured her that she had only stunned
her a%ssailant. With deft hands that
worked speedily in the darkness she
unstrapped from around his waist the
belt with its thirty-siX cartridges and
revolver, then pulled from his pocket
the keys, not only to her cell, but, she
judged, to others.

Then leaping to her feet and strap
