CHAPTER xI-contlnueo.

She entered the last room. There
was no lock or bar upon the door. But
the room was large and dark, and 1t
was half full of bales of alfalfa hay.
Probably it was the safest place in
the house; at least time would be nee
sssary to find any one hidden there.
She dropped her valuables in a dark
corner and covered them with loose
hay. That done, she felt her way down
a narrow aisle between the piled-up
bales and presently crouched in a
niche.
T With the necessity Of action over for
the immediate present, Madeline be-
came conscious that she was quivering
and almost breathless. Her skin felt
tight and cold. There was a weight
on her chest; her mouth was dry, and
she had strange tendency to swallow
Dull sounds came from parts Of the
house remote from her. In the inter-
walls of silence between these sounds
she heard the squeaking and rustling
OF mice In the hay. A mouse ran over
her hand
She listened, waiting, hoping, yet
Greading to hear the gathering ap-
proach of her cowboys. There would
be fighting blood-men injured, per-
haps killed. Even the thought of NO.
lence of any kind hurt her. But per-
haps the guerrillas would run in time
to avoid a clash with her men. She
hoped for that, prayed for it. Through
her mind fitted what she knew Of
Nels, of Monty, of Nick Steele; and
she experienced a sensation that left
her somewhat chilled and sick. Then
she thought of the dark-browed, fire.
eyed Stewart. She felt thrill drive
away the cold nausea. And her excite
ment augmented
Waiting, listening increased all her
emotions. Nothing appeared to be
happening. Yet hours seemed to pass
while she crouched there Had Flor
ence been overtaken? Could any of
those lean horses outrun Majesty?
She doubted it; she knew it could not
be true. Nevertheless, the strain of
uncertainty was torturing.
Suddenly the bang Of the corridor
door pierced her through and through
with the dread Of uncertainty. Some
of the guerrillas had entered the east
wing of the house. She heard babel
of jabbering voices, the shuffiing Of
boots and clinking of spurs, the slam
ming Of doors and ransacking of
rooms.
Madeline lost faith In her hiding
place. Moreover, she found it impos-
sible to take the chance. The idea of
being caught in that dark room by
those ruf1ians filled her with horror.
She must get out into the light. Swift
ly she rose and went to the window.
1t was rather more of door than
window, being large aperture closed
by two wooden doors ON hinges. The
iron hook yielded readily to her grasp,
and one door stuck fast, while the
other opened few inches. She looked
out upon green slope covered with
flowers and punches of sage and
bushes. Neither man nor horse showed
In the narrow field Of her vision. She
believed she would be safer hidden
out there In the shrubbery than In
the house. The jump from the win
dow would be easy for her.
She pulled at the door. 1t did not

ATTACK OF PIUTE
BAND BEATEN OFF
BY TOWN IN UTAH

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March
?1.--A posse OF white settlers of San
Juan county, southeastern Utah,
early today was reported hot on the
trail of the band, of renegade Piute
Indians who staged an outbreak at
Banding Monday afternoon.
The Indians causing the trouble,
according to a report received by
United States Marshal Ray Ward,
OF Utah, number upward of twelve.
In a clash late yesterday between
the posse of settlers and the warning
redskins, one young buck known as
Joe Bishops boy, is reported to have
been killed and two other Indians
were wounded. AS far as can be
learned the whites suffered no casual
ties.
The trouble at Blanding started
Monday when officers brought to
trial Joe Bishops boy and another
young Indian who were charged
with the robbery of a sheep herder's
camp.
Just before the trial got under
way, a band of Indians from Aliens
Canyon, near Blanding, entered the
town and started making trouble.
Joe Bishops boy and the other
young buck were found guilty OF
the robbery, but they escaped from
the custody of Sheriff W. E. Oliver
when he went to bring them their
supper Monday night.
The sheriff at the point of gun
attempted to make the Indians eat
and by some ruse they succeeded in
knocking the weapon from his hands
and overpowered him.
With the escape of the two young
Indians a posse of settlers was i'm
mediately formed and went in pur.
suit.
There is but one telephone line
into Blanding and the warning red
skins cut this, thus isolating the
town from communication with
| neighboring points.
Efforts to establish radio com
munication with Banding last night
ended in failure. Old Rosey, an
aged Indian, who was a leading fig
ure in the outbreaks of past years,
is said to be taking part in the pres.
ent affair

Clarke IS PENSION
COMMISSIONER TILL
JUNE, COURT RULES

Under a supreme court decision
Tuesday afternoon, John w. Clarke,
of Augusta, will serve as pension
commissioner until the fourth Wed
nesday in June, by appointment of
Governor Hardwick, for the unex-
pired term of the late Judge John
w. Lindsey. while Charles E. Nc
Gregor, of Warrenton, will not
take office until that date to serve
the full term for which he was
elected by the people.
Pension Commissioner Lindsey
died last fall after having been
nominated in the Democratic state
primary to succeed himself. In the
special primary for United States
senator, caused by the death Of
Senator Watson, a successor for the
full term was nominated. Governor
Hardwick, in the meantime. had
appointed Colonel Clarke, of Au-
gusta. for the uneXpired term. He
was a candidate in the special pri-
mary for the full term. Major Nc
Gregor defeated him.
Governor Hardwick issued Col
onel Clarke's commission TO run to
the fourth Wednesday in June, con-
currently with the expiration of the
governors term. Attorney General
Napier held that this was the ex-
piration date of the pension COM
misSioner's term.
Major McGregor instituted quo
warranto proceedings before Judge
Ellis in Fulton superior court to
GUST Colonel Clarke. He contended
that an act of 1918 terminating
state house officers terms on the
first of January applied to this Of
flee. Judge Ellis decided in favor
of Colonel Clarke's contention that
the act did not so apply. Major
McGregor then took the case to
the supreme court, which Tuesday
afternoon affirmed Judge Ellis.
Colonel Clarke and Major Nc
Gregor are fellow soldiers of $he
Confederacy and have been friends
for years, and their pleasant rela-
tons were not disturbed by the
litigation to settle the question of
their respective tenures.
