but not with fear. Forth from the
darkness came the low Whitney Of a
horse in sudden recognition. while as
instantly that horrid shadow took
both shape and form. 1t was horse,
saddled, bridled. the rein trailing
along the sand. one Of the two animals
stampeded by the shot which had
killed Kelleen. He had sensed her

into flight. but he remained quiet.

she finally put hand on the dangling
rein. 1t was the horse Kelleen had
ridden, and Deborah hid her face In
his name and cried softly, while he
turned and rubbed his muzzle against
her shoulder In silent greeting. It
seemed too good to be true; as though
God had led her every step of the
way. The sudden reaction left her
weak as child.
Yet she must go on; there was more
cause now than ever before to go on
more hope of success. She made the
effort twice before she succeeded in
dragging herself up into the saddle.

1t seemed utterly wrong In its posi-

afraid. yet not daring TO venture other

rode south.
The night seemed endless. the black
desert eternal. There were times
when the girl lost consciousness of ev-

guide and hope; through it she re-
tanned sanity and faith. In that way
lay Box canyon and those waiting
troopers. She dare not ride fast,
knowing not what pitfalls were ahead,

The horse picked his way intelligently,
the relns lying loose, except as she
occasionally held him inexorably to

PINcHoT FIRES A BRoADsIDE

Whatever else he may be accom- plishing, it is certain that Governor Pinchot is making it uncomfortable for the federal aw-enforcement heads. After having been instrumental in causing greater federal enforcement activity in Pennsylvania, the gov ernor now ridicules and seeks to de- stroy the federal red tape that inter- feres with the fullest cooperation on the part of his state in law enforce ment. In regard to the right of state forces to inspect places of manufac- ture and storage of liquor, Prohibition Commissioner Haynes issued this or der: "The business which this permit authorizes shall at all times, during ordinary business hours, be subject to inspection by the officers of the Penn sylvania state police"
 Quick to detect the subterfuge and fallacy in such an order, Governor Pinchot sarcastically replied. "Does the enforcement service of the treas ury department hold that criminals may be caught only during ordinary business hours? The enforcement ser- vice may, as is often charged, put needless obstacles in it's own way by it's own regulations, but l cannot agree to any such system for Pennsylvania We have trouble enough to enforce the law, using twenty-four hours a day to work in, instead of ordinary busi- ness hours." There is something in this sturdy reply that strikes a response in the breast of the average person. There is great deal of camouflage and sidestepping in law enforcement, and there is no doubt that MT. Pinchot is striking at the head and source of such evsion.
 The only factor that weakens MT. Pinchot's attitude is the charge that he is not doing what he can with his own
