College athletics are above any suspi-
cion Of dishonesty, the commissioner
said, adding betting on college sports
has reduced to a very small minimum
in the big ten.
The disqualification Of E. c. Gerber,
big tackle Of the University Of Wis
consin eleven, overshadows other news
from western conference training camps
today. Doubt whether the Badgers will
be able to repair the hole left in their
line by Gerbers ineligibility before the
all-important game with Illinois Satur-
day is expressed.
Badgers Banked on Gerber.
Until the university athletic council
found that the lineman had committed
a technical violation OF the conference
rule against using athletic skill for gain,
through having accepted pay for 7. n.
C. A. swimming instruction. and az a
consequence was ineligible for further
athletic competition, Coach Ryan had
banked on using Gerber against the
strong nlini.
Whatever the final arrangement Of
players, whether Miller. Bentson or
Bieberstein takes the place, it will be
in the hands Of man relatively mex
perienced and unequal to the replaced
regular.
The move against the big lineruan has
upset the practice Of the squad during
these last important days, but it has
developed an animus among the players
that assures q lighting, slashing contest

With wrench that shook him, Gale
let her go. He heard Belongs soft

"Yaqui says the early hours the

Then they were all outside In the
pale gloom under the trees. Yaqui
mounted Blanco Diablo; Mercedes
was lifted upon White Woman; |;
Thorne climbed astride Queen; Jim
Lash was already upon his horse,
which was as white as the others but
bore no name; Ladd mounted the stall
lion Blanco Torres, and gathered up
the long halters of the two pack
horses; Gale came last with Blanco
Sol. -.
As he toed the stirrup, hand on
name and pommel, Gale took one more
look In at the door. Nell stood In
the CLEAN of light. her hair shining,
face like ashes, her eyes dark, her
lips parted. her arms Outstretched.
That sweet and tragic picture etched
Its cruel outlines into Gales heart. He
waved his hand and then fercely
leaped into the saddle.

that column he scarcely heard a soft
hoofbeat. A single star shone ont
Of rift In thin clouds. There was
no wind. The air was cold. The dark
space of desert seemed to yawn. To
the left across the river fiickered
few campfires. The chill night, silent
and mystical, seemed to close in upon
Gale; and he faced the wide, quiver-
ing, black level with keen eyes and
grim intent, and an awakening of that
wild rapture which came like q spell
to him in the open desert.

"Oh, know the white liver,
Greasers better than any of you. don't
mistake me-" replied Bedding. He was
pale with rage. but kept command
over himself.
The rangers. with Yaqui and
Thorne, stationed themselves at the
several windows of the sitting room
Rifles and smaller arms and boxes of
shells Uttered the tables and window
seats. No small force of besiegers
could overcome resistance such as
Belding and his men were capable of
making.
The horsemen halted at the corrals
They were orderly and showed no evil
dence Of hostility. They were. how
ever, fully armed. Belding stalked
out to meet them. Apparently leader
wanted to parley with him. but Bel
ding would hear nothing. He shook
his head, waved his arms, stamped to
and fro. and his loud, angry voice
could be heard clear back at the house.
Whereupon the detachment Of rebels
retired to the bank of the river, be-
yond the white post that marked the
boundary line, and there they once
more drew rein. Bedding remained by
the corrals watching them, evidently
still in threatening mood Presently
a single rider left the troop and trot-
ted his horse back down the road.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1923-01-18

When he reached the corral he was
seen to halt and pass something to
Belding. Then he galloped away to
join his comrades.
Bedding looked at whatever 1t was
he held In his hand, shook his burly
head, and started swiftly for the
house. He came striding into the
room holding piece Of soiled paper.
"Can't read 1t now and don't know
az want to-" he said, savagely.
Not one Of the men was able to
translate the garbled scrawl.
"Ehore Mercedes can read It." said
Ladd. - -
Thorne opened a door and called
her. She came into the room followed
By Nell and Mrs. Belding.
my dear. we want you to read
what's written on this paper" said
Thorne. as he led her to the table.
Mercedes gave the writing one swift
glance. then tainted in Thorne's
arms. He carried her to q couch, and
with Nell and Mrs. Belding began to
work over her.
Belding looked at his rangers.
"Laddy, it's Rojas all right. How

Belding paced up and down the
room. Jim and Ladd whispered to-
gether. Gale walked to the window
and looked out at the distant group

to rest upon Mercedes. She was con-
