cred himself so that to outward ap-
pearance he was his old self. He
alone knew, however, that his humor
was forced, and that the slow burning
wrath he felt for the Chases was fam
Ing into hate.
Bedding argued with himself that If
Ben Chase and his son. Radford. had
turned out to be big men in other
ways than In the power to carry on
great enterprises he might have be-
come reconciled to them. But the
father was greedy. grasping, hard,
cold the son added to those traits an
o~verbearing disposition to rule, and he
showed n fondness for drink and
cards. These men were developing
the valley, to be sure, and a horde of
poor Meyicans and many Americans
were benefting from that develop
ment nevertheless. these Chases were
operating in n way which proved they
cared only for themselves.
Bedding went to Casita with a num-
Der of his white t~horoughbreds and
shipped them to ranchers and horse
breeders in Texas. Then, being near
the railroad. and having time, he went
up to Tucson. There he learned some
interesting particulars about the
Glasses. They had an office in the
city influential friends in the cap
itol. They were powerful men in the
rapidly growing finance Of the West.
They had interested the Southern Pa
cific railroad, and in the near future a
branch line was to be constructed
from San Felipe to Forlorn River.
These details Of the Chase develop
ment were insignificant when com
pared to a matter striking close home
to Bedding. His responsibility had

they've got property just because they
a few stakes in the ground
they're much mistaken. A squatter
has to build n house and live on his
land so long, according to law, before
he owns IT."
This argument was unanswerable,
and Bedding knew it.
According to lawl' exclaimed
Bedding. 'Then you own up; you've
jumped our claims"
MIR. Bedding. I'm a plain business
man. l come along. ] see n good
opening, Nobody seems to have ten

.squatters, start to build. 1t seems to
me your rangers have overlooked GER
tain precautions. That's unfortunate
FOR them. I'm prepared to hold my
claim n to back all the squatters
who work for me. If you don't like 1t
you can carry the matter to Tucson.
The law will uphold me-"
The law? Say. on this southwest
border we haven't n law except a
mans word and n gum
Then you'll find United States law

piled the other, swapping his fingers.
You're not a westerner?' Queried
Bedding. cd H

n long time on the Texas border; now,
wouldn't you? You're one of the land

most actively interested in. These
answers are daily pouring in.
Wisconsin will endeavor to stage
not only post programs but will con-
duct state contests open to all posts.
State contests in basketball and track
are already being planned. The bas-
ketball tournament will no doubt be
lected. Trophies have been selected
for the basketball tournament.
If plans go through as outlined
posts will engage in bowling contests
with the results telegraphed to the
other contesting team. If interest in
this e run high enough the state
will attempt to conduct n state tour
nament In the spring. At present the
posts in Milwaukee have started a
six team league.
If sectional tournaments ire held
in any sport the posts of that %particu-
lar section will back the movement.
However, all state tournaments will
be staged and authorized by the state
department.
Wisconsin Is the home of skiing.
Several large jumps are to be found

II is not thought at this time that
state Journeys will be held in this

to let go. He held on and rolled his

I'm sorry now Dad. Perhaps the

for Dicks plan to lrrlgate the valley.
Lord, I'd hate to have some one fore

"Where have l beer keeping myself

muttered Bedding. "They must have
Just come"
Bedding discovered that he was. In
deed, the last man of consequence in
Forlorn River to learn of the arrival
of Ben Chase and son, mine wner
and operators In Sonora. They, with
a force of miners. had been besieged
by rebels and finally driven off their
property. This property was not de-
stroyed, but held for ransom. And the
Chases, pending developments, had
packed outfits and struck for the Dor
der. Casita had beer their objective
point, but. for some reason which
Bedding did not learn, they mad ar
rived instead at Forlorn River. II
had taken Ben Chase just one day to
see the possibilities of Altar valley.
and in three days he had men at work.
Bedding returned home without GO
ing to see the Chases and their 0per-
ations. He wanted to think over the
situation. Next morning he went out
to the valley 10 sec for himself. Mex
leans were hastily erecting adobe
houses upon Ladd's one hundred and
sixty acres, upon Dick Gales, upon
jim Lash's and Thorne's. There were
men stalking the valley floor and the
river bed. That was sufficient for
BeIding. He turned back toward
town and headed for the camp of
these intruders.
He came to a big ten with n huge
canvas fly stretched in front, under
which sat several men in their shirt
sleeves. They were talking and smok-
ing.

Far AWAY from Forlorn River Dick
Gale sat stunned, gazing down into
the purple depths where Rojas had
plunged to his death. The Yaqui stood
motionless upon the steep red wall Of
lava from which he had cut the BAN

where she had fallen. From across
the depths there zane { o Gales ear
the Indians strange, wild cry.
Action on the part Of the Yaqul
loosened the spell which held Gale as
motIonless as his surroundings. The
Indian was edging back toward the
ledge. He did not move with his for.

crawled. slipped. dragged himself, rest.
