CHAPTER VI.
A Blow of Treachery.

It was a desolate home-coming- the great stars overhead, the tinkle of distant. water, the silence and black ness all about, and the dim outline of ne cabin barely visible amid the surrounding trees. The girl held her breath with lips pressed tight, staring around into the vague shadows and permitted Shelby to gently swing her between the wheels to the ground. Some way the strong grasp of his hands brought back to her a sense of courage.
 "Is-is there no one here?" she asked, afraid to venture a step in the gloom. 'It is terribly dark"
 "Ill remedy that in a minute" he said, pretending a cheerfulness he was far from feeling. "Hey there. Kid, stake out yer horse, and come here and hold these broncs until I light up inside. Don't move, Olga; there is a steep bank just beyond. I'll only be gone a minute"
 But where is your herderT
 "Out with the cattle, probably; he doesn't sleep here, and had no idea when I would be back. Now hang on tight to these reins, Kid, and I'll help you presently. Would you rather go with me, Olga?"
 "Yes," she said, her voice trembling slightly in spite of every effort at control, q would rather not be left out here"
 "All right; this Is the path; don't be afraid. won't let you stumble. Now, one step up; that's it."
 He flung open the unsecured door, and stepped into the dense blackness of the interior. She could see noth- ing. but heard him rummaging about, and finally caught the tiny gleam of a match. The next instant this had become the flame of an oil lamp. and the whole interior of the room be- came revealed in the yellow flicker. In spite of every attempt to steady herself, her heart gave a sudden throb, and she clutched at the door for sup port. This was even worse than she had pictured.
 "A bit tough looking, suppose" Shelby said with nasty glance about. "Sorter surprise, this bringin' a wife back with me. Never reckoned on any such thing, or I'd a cleaned the shack up a bit. However, I'll straighten things around in a jiffy, as soon as show the Kid the corral. Here's a chair to sit in," and he dumped it's load on the floor. ''You ain't afraid to wait here, are youP
 "Oh, no; I will be all right. You need not hurry"

.CHAMBERLlN ADVANCES
NEW GEOLOGIC THEORY
Earth Slowly Built UP by Gather.
ina In Minute Bodies

Chicago. Nov. IA by A. .PD--
New doctrines Of geology, based on a
new theory of the origin OF the earth,
were outlined to the National Acad-
emy of Sciences here today by Prof
Thomas e. Chambcrlin. emeritus head
Of the Department Of Geology Of the
University Of Chicago.
Emphasizing the rcvolutional motions
Of the earth as planet, which have
largely gone unnoticed in geology, Prof
Chambcrlin declared that they were
"somc thousands nf times greater than
the moro tangible vibratory energies, y
such as light. heat and sound.
Discarding the old view of the nebular
hypothesis that the interior of the
earth il molten. Prof. Chambcrlin told
the uradcmy il is solid.
Hc pointed ont that formerly it was
supposed that the earth was once in
a gaseous state and that II condensed
from this into molten globe. Its
surface contiguration and it's dcforma-
tions were assigned TO cooling. The

studies of the carth's energy and mo-
ficulties in making such history fit
the facts disclosed by later investiga :
tion.
DR.. Chambcrlin abandoned the old
view some twenty years ago and offered
Il new view known as the planetesimal
hypothesis. Under this view the earth
was built up very slowly by gathering
in minute bodies whose energies and
momenta were of the same sort as that
of the planets into which they are
gathered and hence they met the old
difficulties. The new view makes II
necessary 10 recast many Of the old
doctrines of geology to bring them into
accord with the new basis.

President Harding by eight members OF
the World War Veterans Association
and others who won Congressional
Medals of Honor or distinguished serv-
ice awards during the late war, to pre-. :.
sent memorials asking the. petition OF
Eugene V. Debs, now serving sentence
In Atlanta Penitentiary.
The memorials also asked the release
of 14O other men confined in Federal
prisons after conviction upon various
charges having to do with the obstruc-
tion Of the Governments activities dur
ing the late war. The decorated ex-
service men said the prisoners were
moved by the same ideals as moved
US" in opposing war.
