CHAPTER xiv


AS Stewart departed from one door
Florence knocked upon another; and
Madeline. far shaken out OF her usual
serenity. admitted the cool western
girl with more than gladness. Just to
have her near helped Madeline TO get
hack her balance. She was conscious
of Florence's sharp scrutiny. then of

Florence might have been burning
with curiosity TO know more about the
bandits hidden I'm the house. the plans
of the cowboys. the reason for Made

of asking Madeline questions she In.
troduced the important subject of
what to take on the camping trip. For
an hour they discussed the need of
this and that article. selected those
things most needful. and then packed
them in MadelIne's duffle-bags.
That done. they decided to lie down.
fully dressed as they were In riding
costume. and sleep. or at least rest,
the little remaining time left before
the call TO saddle. Madeline turned
out the light and. peeping through her
window, saw dark forms standing SEN
tinel-like In the gloom. When she lay
down she heard soft steps on the path.
This fidelity to her swelled her heart,
while the need of 1t presaged that
fearful something which, since Stew
arts passionate appeal to her. haunt
ed her as inevitable.
Madeline did not expect to sleep.
yet she did sleep. and 1t seemed to
have been only a moment until Flor
ence called her. She followed Florence
outside. She could discern saddled
horses being held by cowboys. There
was an air of hurry and mystery about
the departure. Helen. who came tip
toelng out with Madellne's other
guests, whispered that II was like an
escape. She WAS delighted. The others
were amused. To Madeline II was in
deed an escape. She heard low voices.
the chsmpIng OF bits and humping OF
hoofs, and she recognized Stewart
when he led up Majesty for her to
mount. Then came q p~atterfng OF soft
feet and the whining of dogs Cold
noses touched her hands, and she saw
the long. gray. shaggy shapes Of her
mack OF Russian wolf-hounds. That
Stewart meant to let them go with her
was indicative Of bow he studied her
pleas She loved to be out with
the hounds and her horse.

may offer 1t again some day. Good
night"
He said goodnight and turned.
Madeline wonderingly watched him go
down the path with his hand on the
black horses neck.
She went In 10 rest a little before
dressing for dinner and. being fatigued
from the days riding and excitement.
she fell asleep. When she awoke II
was twilight. She wondered why her
Mexican maid had not come TO her,
and she rang the bell. The maid did
not put in an appearance, o WAS
there any answer TO the ring. The
house seemed unusually quiet. II was
a brooding silence, which presently
broke to the sound of footsteps on the
porch. Madeline recognized Stlllwell's
tread. though 1t appeared to be light
for him. Then she heard him call
softly in at the open door OF her Of
flee. The suggestion OF caution In his
voice suited the strangeness Of his
walk. With a bodIng n of trouble
she hurried through the rooms. He
was standing outside her office door.
"Stillwell :" she exclaimed.
please come out on the porch
She complied and. once out. vas en-
abled to see him. His grave face, paler
than she had ever beheld II, caused
her to stretch an appealing hand to-
ward him. Stillweil intercepted 1t and
held 1t in his own.
Miss Majesty. I'm amazln' sorry to
tell worris0me news. But II can't be
avoided The fact is we're In a bad
fix. II your guests amt scared out

Madeline. firmly, though she trembled.

or 80 ago he follcred me direct 10
where me an the boys was tryln' to
keep Pat Have from tearin' the ranch
TO pieces. At that we WAS helpin' Pat
all we could to find them bandits. But
when Stewart got there he made a diff

seein' Stewart made him wuss. /
recn.n Gene to Pat is the same as
red 10 a Greaser bull. Anyway, when
the sheriff set fire to an old adobe hut
Stewart called him an called him hard.
Pat Have he'd six fellers with him, an
from all appearances bandit-huntin'
was some fiesta. There was a row. an
IL looked bad fer a little. But Gene
was cool, an he controlled the boys.
Then Pat an his tough de-pootles went
on huntln'. That huntin', Miss Majesty.

WILL PROSECUTE SON
Michigan Official Determined To
 Test Validity Of "Bluev LAWS

LUDINGTON, Mich. July 30.-(By Associated Press. )-Balke in his eff forts to bring a test of Michigan S obsolete Sunday "blue" laws, Virgil J. Fitch, prosecuting attorney of Ma sen county, announced tonight that he would continue his efforts to bring to trial his own son, Roscoe Conkling Fitch, H. M. Hallett. mayor of Ludington, and Palmer Hutchin- son, a Detroit newspaperman, whom he charges with violating the laws by attending a dance in this vicinity Sunday night
 Armed with formal complains against Mayer Hallett and Hutchin- son, Prosecutor Fitch today went to Scottville, a village near here, and asked Justice of the Peace Meades to issue warrants. This the justice refused to do on the ground that such action was unwarranted. Be- fore he left for Scottville the prose- cutor nolle pro ssed warrant against his son, issued at the instigation of the mayor, on the grounds that it wasl improperly drawn.
 The prosecutor announced today that he would go to Walhall, another Mason county town, tomorrow and ask Justice Mckenzie there to issue warrants against the three

RICH MEN WIVES JOY ID FAIR SEX
Beautiful Gowns And Georg- iouS Scenic Effects De-
 lights Capitol Patrons

There's a little bit of Paradise for | the fair sex on it's way here, so Manager Royster of the Capitol thea tre declares. It will come in the form of celluloid, encased in an or- dinary tin box, but it will suffice to set the ladies dizzy with delight, he ayers.
 This particular slice of joy to the i feminine heart bears the significant title of Rich Mems Wives" and 1t is a preferred picture produced by Cashier, who gave to the screen the exotic production, "Kismet"
 A bevy of beauties appears in the picture-Claire Windsor, Rosemary Theby, Myrtle Stedman. Mildred June and Carol Holloway-and all but Miss Holloway wear gowns that will make the aforesaid feminine heart palpitate in ecstatic excitement Miss Windsor wears no less than six diff ferent costumes, beginning with a chic tailored suit and ending with beautiful dancing frock. In be- tween she is seen in a riding habit, in evening gown. In an artistic aft ernoon gown and in smart sports suit.
 A smart afternoon gown, picture hat, and a stunning evening costume fall to the lot of Miss Theby, while Miss Stedman and Miss June both are seen in the very latest street and party models.
 All of which calls to mind the fact that the ladies no longer look to the stage for sartorial inspiration and guidance, but gaze screenward for them. This phase of the motion picture Is not the least of the req sons why they are so popular with the fair one, it may be said. Women go to the 'movies' as much to see the new fashions as to see the pie lures. a fact that is evidenced by the prolific use of screen stars in the H. lustration of the better class of fashion publications.
 Manager Royster says that aside from the gowning of the women stars, Rich Mems Wives" is a no- table production, with a story eXcep- tionally strong in it's pathos and dramatic values. It will be shown today and Thursday only.
