CHAPTER VIII
Story Of the "FrIseo Kid"

To Deborah, Kelleen was no longer
a bandit, a fleeing fugitive from jus
tice. but a soldier who had been
wounded In battle, who had played the
| part of a man: while to him the girl
was no longer q stray runaway in
whom he felt little interest, but a
nurse whose face had haunted his
memory since he had first watched
her In the glow of the French sun.
They stood there on the rim of that
strange crater, the grim, gray desert
circling them about, neither able to
think of a word to say. Deborah's
eyes fell, and she withdrew her hand,
turning to stare into the depths be-
low. The slight movement served to
arouse Kelleen to the situation

claimed, new cheerfulness In his tone.

He struck the animal with the fiat
of his hand, and, with a reproachful
shake of the head. Sultan slowly and
cautiously began the steep descent,
seeking path along the deeper layers
of sand. and zigzagging from gulch to
gulch better to obtain foothold. The
other horse followed, but not without
struggle, trembling with fear, and
keeping close to the trail left by the
leader Kelleen touched the girls ARM
Come" he said briefly. a bit of
command in the voice. Really it is
not so dangerous as 1t looks from here. !
Sultan has found the best trail, and |
We'll drill along after him."
They made 1t slowly. picking their |
path along the trail left by the two |
animals. finding purchase In the sand,
occasionally steadied by an outcrop-
ping rock or the exposed root Of some
clinging shrub. The drop was more
extensive than Deborah previously had

Stand Four Square For Ameri-

SUNDAY NIGHT At THE BAUCH
NO Illiteracy by 1927 Slogan
Used in Programs.
THURSDAY AT THE SCHOOL
Weeks Yaden Post Give Three Inter-
estins Programs During the Week
Featuring Education as the !
Basis of Americanism-

The Weeks Yaden post in conjunc-
tion with all the other American Le-
gion posts celebrated Education week
during the past seven days.
The week commenced with an In
terestfng meeting at the Baugh .hea-
tre Sunday evening at which al the
local ministers cooperated In putting
etress on education bringing the reo-
pie closer to better lives and purar
Americanism.
At the High school assembly Tues
day afternoon another very interest,"
ing program was given by the pupils
for the students on the benefits OF
education and Americanism-
Thursday evening at the High school
an open meeting for the citizens was
held with the same subjects featured
in an interesting and instructive pro-
gram.
Because the American Legion stands
four square for one hundred per cent
Americanism, it necessarily has keen
interest in education, because one
hundred per cent Americanism can
best be brought about by means Of
education Aside from the idea Of
eduction for its own sake. the Ameri-
can Legion wishes to lay especial
stress upon educating people in the
principles of Americanism- The most
pronounced job Of the Legion is to
produce Americans. They believe that
the only way Americans can be pro-
duced is by the method of education,
hence, they originated of late years
American Education Week symbolic
ing all that education should stand
for and what it should accomplish.
NO 1literacy by 1927" is the slogan
of the Legion. If a man is illiterate
he must be necessarily un-American
in a sense. for education is one of the
requirements of Americanism, That
education makes man of might and
that it is the mighty men who are
making the history of America, is
wholly recognized by Legion men.
For this reason they stand back Of
and endorse the spirit of American
Education Week The American Le-
gion declares that illiteracy is a men,.
ace to our nation and must be stamped
out She believes in helping the i'm
migrants and aliens to become Ameri-
cans. to speak and write our language
and to be American in the truest
sense of the word.
Revolutionists and radicals are often
the direct product of ignorance. Con-
sequently, it is easy to understand
why the Legion. the haters of radi-
calism and unlawfulness, should be
at the head of the list of those who
endorse education. Radicals are un-
American. contends the Legion. be-
cause they are a menace to the life.
