German SeceSSiOniStS Foster Civil E
Movement Amid Many Food Riots
By CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 - Is
Germany breaking up? Is the en-
pirc dissolving into a group of in
dependent states, such as existed
before Bismarck federated them in
1901?
The next few days probably will
show
The separation movement has
taken most definite state in the
Rhneland, the strip of territory
south Of the Netherlands, north of
Switzei land, west of the heavy
dotted line marked on the map be-
tween the Netherlands and Swiss
frontiers, and east of the Belgian
and French borders, on, or almost
on, which are the cities of AK ia
Chapelle, Strassburg and Mulhaus-
en-.
French Wink Consent
This is the field of the Franco
Belgian occupation and the separa-
tlonists, while not actually aided bv
French and Belgian troops. at
least are encouraged by them. For
one thing, the establishment of
Rhlneland republic would furnish
buffer state" betweennGermany
and Belgium and France, making
them somewhat safer against posi-
bile future German invasion. Also
1t IS a country immensely rich in
coal and industries, which France
could exploit more conveniently
under a weak local government
than under German control.
Separatiohist forces have seized
AK la Chapelle, Munchen, Glad
bach, Crefeld, Julich, Montioie,
Cleve and Duren. They want Cob
LEM, to make it their capital. and
also the important town of Mainz.
bavaria and SaXc~ are on the
verge of fight between themselves
and both are defiant Of the Ger
man republican government.
Bavaria's Royal Leaning
Trouble between the two state,
arises from Bavaria's preference
for establishment of royalist
regime, with Prince Rupprecht as
KING, and Sarony's tendency toward
communism.
Bavaria is too monarchial in its
views for the Berlin government
and SaXony is too "red. The Ba-
varian state government not only
will pay no attention to orders from
Berlin but is described as having
kidnapped the troops Berlin sent
into Bavaria to try to prevent Sc
cesSion. Berlin has threatened to
use armed force against the Saxon
reds" and Saxony has defied such
step.
Reds Join Saxons. E
Khuringia, the territory north of
BaTaria and east of Saxonv, in
cliries to be "red" and to join the
Saxons.
The country between Bavaria and
the region Of the Franco Belgian
occupation probably will be inciud-
ed either in Bavaria or the Rhine
land republic if the separation
movement goes OIL.
One theory is that the north and
south German states may split into
two, separate groups. This would
mean an agreement between such
clashing states as Bavaria and Sax
ony, which looks difficult, but is

CHAPTER XVIII
Reality Against Dreams.


Dick Gale was standing bowed over
Nells slight form, almost hidden In
his arms. Belding Rugged them both.
He was like a boy. He saw Ben
Chase and his son slip away under
the trees, but the circumstances meant
nothing to him then.
"Dicki Dfckr' he roared. 'Is II
you'll! Say, who do you thinks
here-here, in Forlorn RiverY
1t was then three more persons came
upon the scene-Elsie Gale, running
swiftly, her father assisting Mrs. Gale,
who appeared about to faint.
"Beldingi Who on earth's thatT
cried Dick, hoarsely.
"Quisn sabe, my son." replied Beld-
ing; and now his voice seemed little
shaky. 'rNell. come here. Give him
a chance"
Beldlng slipped his arm round Nell.
and whispered In her ear. "This'll be
greati"
Elsie Gales face was white and agi-
tated. a face expressing extreme Joy.
"Oh, brotheri Mamma saw you

Dicki Look at him. Just look at

Belding turned away and drew Nell
with him. In another second she and
Mercedes were clasped In each others
arms. Then followed q time Of joyful
greetings all round. Diablo found his
old spirit; Blanco Sol tossed his head
and whistled his satisfaction; White
Woman pranced to and fro; and pres
emily they all settled down to quiet
grazing. How good II was for Belding
to see those white shapes against the
rich background Of greeni His eyes
glIstened. II was q sight he had never
expected to see again. He fingered
there many moments when he wanted
to hurry back to his rangers.
At last he tore himself away from
watching Blanco DIablo and returned
to the house. II was only to find that
he might have spared himself the hur-
ry. Jim and Ladd were lying on the
beds that had not held them for so
many months. Their slumber seemed
as deep and quiet ss death. Curiously
BeIdIng gazed down upon them. They
had removed only boots and chaps.
Their clothes were in tatters. Jim sp-
peared little more than skin and
bones, Z long shape, dark and hard
AZ iron. Ladd's appearance shocked
Belding. The ranger looked an cid

IL wouldn't do such q low-down trick.
Besides, IL 1 would, I'd want It to be
man I was persuading for. I know
Greasers--I know q Yaqui I'd rather
give Nell to than your son."
Radford Chase began to roar in inar-
ticulate rage. Bedding paid no atten-
tlon to him; indeed, he never glanced
at the young man. The elder Chase
checked violent start.
"My sons offer Of marriage is an
honor-more an honor, sir, than you
perhaps are aware Of"
Belding made no reply. He waited
coldly, sure Of himself.
"Mrs. Belongs daughter has no
right to the name Of Burton" snapped
Chase. did you know thatT
II did not" replied Belding. quietly.
"well, you know 1t now." added
Chase, bitingly.
"Sure you can prove what you sayf"
queried Belding, In the same cool, un-
emotional tone. 1t struck him strange
ly at the moment what little knowledge
this man had of the West and Of west
ern character.

beautiful. gay girl. knew Bob Burton

wild. Nobody ever knew for sure, but
we all supposed he was engaged to
marry Nell. He left Peoria. however.
and soon after that the truth about
Nell came out. She ran away. 1t was
at least couple Of months before Bur-
ton showed up In Peoria. He did not
stay long. Then for years nothing was
heard of either Of them. When word
did come Nell was In Oklahoma, Bur-
ton was in Denver. There's chance,
Of course, that Burton followed Nell
and married her. That would account
for Nell Warren taking the name 1T
Burton. But 1t isn't likely. None Of MS
ever heard of such thing and
wouldn't have believed It II we had.

emotion in Chases voice was a. strong
as the ring Of truth. Belding knew
truth when he heard it. .,.,,a.,,
$50 you told my wife you'd respect
her secret-keep her dishonor from her
husband and daughterr' demanded
Bedding, his dark gaze sweeping back
from the lane. &
"Whati IL" stammered Chase.
"You made your son swear to be
man and die before he'd hint the thing
to Nellr went ON Belding. and his
voice rang louder.
Ben Chase had no answer. The red
left his face. His SON skunk back
against the fence.
Il say you never held this secret
over the heads of my wife and her
daughterT thundered Bedding.
He had his answer In the gray faces,
In the lips that fear made mute. Like
a fash Belding saw the whole truth of
Mrs. Belongs agony, the reason for
her departure; he saw what had been
driving Nell; and 1t seemed that all the
dogs Of hell were loosed within his
heart. He struck out blindly, instinc-
lively In his pain. and the blow sent
Ben Chase staggering into the fence
corner. Then he stretched forth long
arm and whirled Radford Chase back
beside his father.
"And now, gentlemen" went on Bel
ding, speaking low and with difficulty,
seeing I've turned down your PROPOSE
ton, suppose you think you've no
more call to keep your mouths shut7"
The elder Chase appeared fascinated
by something he either saw or felt in
Belding, and his gray face grew grayer.
He put up q shaking hand. Then Rad
ford Chase, livid and snarling. burst
out: "Pll talk till I'm black In the face.
You can't stop mep
you'll 60 black In the face, but 1t
won't be from talking" hissed Belding.
His big arm swept down. and when
he threw It up the gun gllttered In his
hand. simultaneously with the latter
action pealed out q shrill. penetrating
whistle.
The whistle Of horsei II froze Beld-
ing's arm aloft. For an instant he
could not move even his eyes. The
familiarity Of that whistle was terri
BILE m its power to rob him Of strength.
Then he heard the rapid, heavy pound
Of hoofs, and again the piercing
whistle.
"Blanco Dlabloi" he cried, huskily.
He turned to see huge white horse
come laundering into the yard. A
wild, gaunt, terrible horse; indeed, the
loved Blanco Diablo. A bronzed. long
haired Indian bestrode him. More
white horses galloped into the yard,
pounded to a halt. whistllng home.
Beldlng saw a slim shadow Of girl
who seemed all great black eyes.
Then Nell came rushing from the
house, her golden hair flying, her
hands outstretched, her face wonder
full.
"Dicki Dicki Oh-h-h, Dick" she
cried. Her voice seemed to culver In
Belongs heart.
Belongs eyes began to blur. He
was not sure he saw clearly. Whose
face was this now close before him
long thin, shrunken face, haggard,
tragic in its semblance of torture, al
most Of death2 But the eyes were
keen and kind.

way TO fury. But sometF. ing about Beld-
ing evidently exerted powerful quiet,
