They all hid in the dimly lit wig

approached the FIRE and greeted
Stone Ear. who actually seemed
glad to see her. Ruth held out the
amulet to the deaf and dumb squaw.
Stone Ear became tremendously ex-
cited on receiving Lame Elk's token
and started to make signs to the
Indian boy. but before the youth
could tell the girl the meaning,
Julia's men rushed out Of their hid

The girl quickly snatched the
amulet from Stone Ear and sprung
back from the cowpunchers. The
old Indian, realizing Ruth's posi-

throwing the wigwam in darkness.
In the confusion which followed,
Ruth made her escape and ran to-

CHAPTER x.

On board the Dragon, for Phil
Stanton had been correct in his
surmise that the yacht was return
ing. the lookout ran below and in
formed the young man of a fire on
shore, dead ahead. Phil ran I'D on
deck and seized the binoculars.
He saw the flames licking around
the hut and the pole swaying in
the wind Something told him that
Ruth was in danger. Running to
the bridge, he informed the skipper,
and Immediately the chief engineer
received the engine-room telegraph
signals for full speed ahead. They
reached the spot just as the pole
crashed to the water. Two life
boats were lowered, and the IN
conscious girl carried aboard.
One month later at the LoomIs
and Stanton ranch, Phil and Ruth
were discussing the many events
happening since their departure to
Siburo. Phil was more interested
in what the future would bring. but
the girl still insisted that her sa-
cred pledge be carried out

Belt" she told him, land without
its secret ! dare not decide the
ownership of the Golden Pool"
But" argued Phil, you still
have the amulet that old Lame Eth
gave you. Surely that must mean
something"
If we could only find Stone Ear
the girl replied. she might re-
member the meaning. of the VAN

that it is necessary for me to &C

goodbye.
As he rode off, there was a flash
Of white outside the window and a
stone crashed in on the floor. Ruth
rushed to the door and beheld the
White Rider disappearing over the
hills. Returning to the room she
picked up the stone, and read /:
You will fine Stone Ear at the old
Indian Wigwam."
And then Ruth did a very foolish
thing She hunted up Looms,

Phil returned from San Mario be-
fore doing anything. Without vast
ing any more time, he sought Julia
Wells and told her of the message
You must go Immediately to the
Wigwam before Ruth and Phil can
reach there" he said. I'll send
some men along with you, as you
may need assistance"
Ruth became worried. She was
already sorry that she had confid-
ed in Loomis. Calling Moonlight,
she told her to ride to San Mario
and tell Phil to hurry back, as she
had learned Stone Ear was at the
old Wigwam. In a few moments,
Moonlight was on her way.
julia and her party had reached
the abandoned Indian wigwam, and
leaving the men outside, the woman
entered. She saw Stone Ear. the
old Indian woman, squatting be-
side the fire, with small Indian
boy, evidently her guide and inter
prefer, sitting beside her. A small
fire gave the only bit of light to the
room.
Julia approached ard showed the
Wampum Belt to the old squaw.
The latter became highly excited
and told the Indian youth in sign
language that she could not tell

that Ruth was the possessor Of the
amulet. She had forgotten all

calm elaboration, pressed it down.

HOW TO GET COLORED:

Colored clothes seem to get

Don't rub them again. Just

A half hour in these big lasting
suds gently loosens all the dirt
without weakening a single

little dry Rinse on these.

sheriffs and deputies, as well as
nolicemen, are authorized to arrest

of this act, and court prosecution
will be carried out against anyone
found killing song birds. Boys un-

with firearms or other weapons, as
4 hunting licenses are not issued to
anyone under that age. Even aft
erwards, when they have licenses
only game birds and destructive
birds named in the law may be
shot. Moreover, the shooting must
not take place along the public
roads or while the hunters are in
conveyances of any kind.
It is hard, too, for persons with
destructive intentions against birds
to evade the provisions of the law,
for says The Audubon Bulletin
i Of a recent issue:
Section II explicitly states that
II is unlawful to shoot, kill, destroy
or catch, or attempt to shoot, kill,
destroy or catch. and thereby sling
shot, air rife, club, stone, or net
are outlawed with other weapons
when an attempt on birds on the
protected list is made. The Illicit
hunter has sometimes an unarmed
companion to carry the bag and
d hold the attention of the officer
while the weapon bearer may es-
cape. The innocent story of carry
ing the bag to oblige an unknown
person or of having picked up the
game along the way is barred out
by this same section II which de-
elares it is unlawful to have in
ones possession, living or dead,
birds on the protected list

commission on the long and short haul
principle for freight rates. All inter

men who can't resist the lure of jazz,

in progress here. High waists, braids
and satin pipings are the outstanding
attractions of the new terpsichorean
garments, the genius of the designers
having been concentrated on an effort

crow foot. The predominating colors
are black. blue and dark brown.

week of Mr.. Akin's vacation because
Taylor's work was of a nature that
had to have personal supervision of
Mr.. Akin and Taylor was laid off for
that week. Soon after Mr.. Akin's
return Taylor wanted more money and
since he could not get it went some
where to look for work picking or
anges. Mr.. Akin testified that not
only Taylor but many of his workmen
gave him the authority to sign their
warrants and collect the money for
them and pay them in cash. He also
said he did not try to hide this and
that he signed the checks openly in
the bank along with all the others and
that noen of his men had ever COM
planned that they did not get their
money. Mr.. Akin said that the VIII

ed by the state worked under Mr..
