| was she? Where had her assailant
gone? Was the thing man or beast7
| The questions were unanswerable; she
could be assured of but one thing-she
was still alive.
| Slowly, silently the girl succeeded
in lifting herself partially from off the
| hard rock on which she lay, using the
rough outcroppings of the wall as sup
| port to the effort. Her bruised limbs
ached, and her head throbbed with
agony as she changed her posture ever
so slightly, yet the movement served
to clear her mind and bring back 8
measure of courage Her thought
swept back to Kelleen, and the men,
ogy Of the man was no longer wholly
fear of his presence. In spite of her
doubts, her distrust, the recollection
Of their nights ride together required
now as almost pleasant remem-
brance Criminal, outlaw he might be,
but he was no brute, no beast of the
Jungle; rather he had shown himself
man, even a gentleman. Yet what
help could she expect from him? II
he was loyal and worthy, how could
he be of any aid?
Beyond all doubt the man would re-
turn In search of her. He had
shrewdly guessed where she lay in
concealment, and had led those others
away for no other purpose but to
leave her there securely hidden. AS
soon as he could rid himself from
their observation he would surely. be
back once more. But even If he came
had she left any trail he could follow?
Her passage back from the edge of the
covert had been made over smooth
rock, on which her feet could have
left no slightest trace. If she had |
flown away into the air the final mys-
terry Of her disappearance could not
have been greater. Suppose he even
approached the front Of the precipice,
)r stumbled blindly into the mouth of
he tunnel behind the canopy of vines
what then? She could conceive but
me inevitable result-his death.
She was surprised, shocked at how
hat new thought sickened and dis
leartened her. In some way his per-
Onality had touched her strongly. and
he tie refused to snap. Yet death GER
ainly stood grimly between them now.
f this guardian of the hidden tunnel
ould treat her as he .had-actuated
y terror, or whatever cause had led
, his action-he would surely prove
o more merciful to him. He would
e on watch, would mark Kelleen's
pproach, his every footstep. Skulk-
lg behind that screen of leaves, up-
he could kill safely. and in .
lat wild land the report of the death
lot would bring no danger.

Psalm in Reader.

Several pupils of school No. 45 got
into fuss one MONDAY because of
marking each others clothing with
chalk, reports the Indianapolis News.
An older pupil directed them to appear
before the principal.
One was seven-year-old boy who
had never been sent to the principal.
He was extremely uneasy and wor-
ried so over 1t he could eat little
lunch.
That evening he explained that he
had approached the principal with
out fear because he had gone quietly
to his room at home and read the
Twenty-third Psalm out Of nm old read
er before he returned to school.
The principal had not scolded him,
but after little talk directed his
promotion at once into 4 grade
higher.

her, told her fairy tale, laughing al
her credulity, while coldly going for
ward with his own plans.
Deborah grasped all this almost in
stantly, unable to perceive any posi-
bility Of escape from the net. Hel
limbs trembled, yet she could only
kneel there in silence, watching the
approach Of the ril.r. A wild hope
thrilled into her heart, that perhaps
this man was not all bad; that what
ever his real life might be, he may
have meant to be square with her,
and would yet protect her. Surely he
never had revealed her presence to
these others; perhaps that was why
he had not returned with them, hoping
she might see the strangers, and hide

her heart-he was playing a part for
her protection.

glancing keenly about, but with face

"Whose horse is that?" he asked
inquiringly, indicating the grazing
animal.

Kelleen swung one leg carelessly
over the pommel Of his saddle, and
deliberately rolled and lit a cigarette.

Mr.. Guthrie also asserted that the

by it's counsel that former Attorney
General Palmer had perjured himself
fled that he had told former President
Wilson about all of the facts con-
nected with the sale of the patents
before Mr.. Wilson sailed on his re-
turn to Paris in March, 1919 He de-
clared further that there was in the
brief statement that the trust i'm
posed upon Mr.. Palmer was deliber-
ately perverted to selfish ends"
Mr.. Guthrie, in referring to what
he said were slurs in the brief
against Francis p. Garvan. former
alien property custodian aSd now

honor was involved in the matter at
issue, but for very different reasons
