A process of gradual adjustment
to the conditions which exist in Eu-
rope appears to be taking place there,
and the international situation in gen.
eral may be said to be improving,
states the current issue of the Guar
anty Survey, published in New York.
The discipline Of recent years has
prepared the way for very consider
able government economies which have
now been effected in a number of
countries, the Survey says, while the
lessons in financial policy which have
been learned, at great cost, from in
flation are not likely to be forgotten
soon in any European nation. Efforts
to balance budgets and to restore
stable corriences are being made in
Russia, Poland, Austria, Germany and
elsewhere, and a modest degree, at
lease, of success is disclosed.
The seriously threatened break be-
tween Great Britain and France has
thus far been avoided, and relations
between France and Germany are tax
ing a form which promises better con
ditions in the neal future. The aband-
onment of the German policy of pas

Migratory Habit Still Exists With Americans

A young man in Europe looks for
ward as a rule to spending his life in
the city of his birth and, very likely, in
tie profession or business pursued by
his father. But in the United States,
for 200 years, large part of each gen.
Grafton has moved West and created
new homes for itself. Nothing could
more effectively foster individualism OF
the type advocated (and typified) by
Herbert Hoover.
This migratory habit persists to the
present day even when it has lost much
of it's economic justification. Ameri-
cans are forever on the move; TIE man
who lives in the house where ne was
born is almost curiosity.
The sense of transience thus created
leads also to a certain looseness of
community organization, and specifical-
~ to a federation of corrupt practice
in business and politics. The mayor of
your town may be boodler; but after
all, since you are thinking seriously OF
moving to Austin, Tex, next spring.
what does it matter3
The departure from the old Ameri-
canism which was created so largely
by the existence of the frontier, has
naturally gone further in the Eastern
states than in the West which is even
today, much closer to pioneer condl-

four or five o'clock. I tell you, man,
something has happened to them"
Don't believe IT, retorted Carson.
''Not for one little half-minute, don't.
What's to happen? Huh?"
"You know as well as 1 do what sort
of characters are about. The man who

hand, why, he's on his way, too. Not
stopping to pick flowers. It's the way

Carson was so cheerfully certain, so
amused at the thought of Bud Lee and
Judith Sanford requiring anybody's as
sistance, so confident concerning the
methods of outlaws, that finally
Hampton sent him away, half-assured,
and went himself to his friends in the
living room.
He let half an hour slip by in rest
less inactivity. For, no matter what
Carson might say or these people here
do, Judith had not yet come in. Hamp-
ton left them and went to his room
for rifle and cartridge-belt. He in
tended to slip out quietly. Marcia met
him in the hall; she had heard his
quick steps and guessed that he was
going out. Now clearly, though she
was frightened, she was delighted with
him. He had never thrilled her like

CHAPTER VIII
Just a Girl. After All

Hampton's captive, known to them
only as Shorty, heavy, surly man
whose small, closest eyes burned
night between Hampton and Judith
down to the ranch-hCuse. He main
tanned a stubborn silence after the
first outburst of rage.
Burkitt and Lee, despite Judith's OBJ
jections because of Lees wounded leg,
remained at the cabin with Bill Crow
dy. Crowdy had lost deal of blood
and, though he complained of little
pain, was clearly in sore need Of medi-
cal attention. Crowdy, like Shorty,
refused to talk.
saw, ILL.," he grunted as Lee de-
handed what influence had brought
him with Shorty and Quinnion into this
mad project, "let me alone, can't

The events of the rest of the night
and of the morrow may be briefly told
Shorty's modest request for glass of
whisky was granted him. Then, his
hands still bound securely by Carson,
windowless, ten-by-ten house of logs.
An admirable Jail this, with it's heavy
paddock snapped into deeply-imbed-
ded staple and the great hasp in place.
The key safely in Judith's possession,
Shorty was left to his own thoughts
while Judith and Hampton went to
the house.
In answer to Judith's call, Doc
Trip came without delay, left brief,
disconcerting word that without the
shadow of a doubt the hogs were
stricken with cholera, and went on
with his little bag to see what his skill
could do for Bill Crowdy.
fought to give him sulphur fumes"
grunted Trip. But his hands were
very gentle with the wounded man, for
all that.
Pollock Hampton had no thought of
sleep that night; didn't SC much as go
to bed. He lay on couch in the liv-
ing room and Marcia Langworthy, ire
mendously moved at the recital Ju-
dith gave of Hampton's heroism, flut-
tered about him, playing nurse to her
hearts delight. Mrs. Langworthy
complacently looked into the future
and to the maturity of her own plans.
Before daylight Carson, with half
dozen men, had breakfasted, saddled
and was ready to ride 10 the Upper
End to begin the search for Quinnion
But before he rode, Carson made the
discovery that during the night the
staple and hasp on the grain-house
door had been wrenched away and
that Shorty was gone. Carson's face
was dull, brick red. Not yet had he
brought himself to accept the full sig
nificance of events. A hold-up, such
as Charlie Miller had experienced, is
one thing; a continued series of Incl
dents like these happening upon the
confines of the Blue Lake ranch, was
cutie another. Only too plainly he
realized that Shorty had had an &C
complete at the ranch headquarters
who had come to his assistance.

headquarter5 1t was one who knew
comparatively little Of the ways of
this part Of the world who was first to
suspect that all was not well with Ju-
dith Sanford. To Pollock Hampton her
failure to appear at dinner was signif-
cant.
He learned from Mrs. Simpson that
in the afternoon Judith, after a hur-
ried lunch, had taken her rife and rid
den away. Where? Mrs. Simpson did
not know.
Hurried lunch?" said Hampton.
"Took her rife, did she2"
His eyes had grown very serious as
he stared down into Mrs. Simpsons
concerned face.
Hampton sent to the mems quarters
word for Carson and Lee to come to
the house.
He strobe up and down the office,
the frown gathering upon his usually
smooth brows. Plainly if something
had happened to Judith the present
responsibility lay upon his shoulders
as next in authority.
Here l am,' announced Carson
briefly. "What is it?"
II am little worried, Carson" said
Hampton, about Miss Sanford. I'm
afraid"
Afraid? Afraid Of what? You don't
think she eloped with your Jap or
stole the spoons, do your" snapped
Carson. He had been interrupted at
the crucial point in game of crib
bage with Poker Face and the cattle
mans weak spot was cribbage. He
glared at Hampton belligerently.
Where is Lee?" questioned Hamp-
ton sharply. "Why didn't he conner"
Dunno" answered Carson, still
without interest. II amt seen him

II tell you," cried Hampton, angry
at Carson's quiet acceptance of facts
which to him were darkly significant

show up! Don't you see what all this
points to?"
Carson, who seldom lost his poise
with one-half of his brain still given
over to the hand he meant to play
with Poker Face, merely sighed an6
shook his head.
Hampton came swiftly to Carson's
side. ''They left the Lower End this
afternoon and came on here. Then

night. Pollock Hampton, his rifle
dubbed in his hand, was running with
a college sprinter's speed after Quin-
MON and Shorty, calling breathlessIy:

Lee, running after him.
But Hampton was gaining on the
heavy-set Shorty and had no thought
Of coming back. Nor thought of any
thing in all the wide world just then
but overtaking the flying figure In
front of him. Shorty stumbled over
fallen log and rose, cursing and call
ing:

That little chance of an uprooted
tree saved Hampton's life that night.
Shorty, falling, had dropped his gun
and hurt his knee. Fer moment he
CROPPED wildly for the lost rife, then
ran off without it. Hampton cleared
the log and with yell rather betting

man whom Mrs. Langworthy hoped to

Shorty drove big brutal fist smash

ton merely lowered his head, hiding it
against Shorty's heaving shoulders,
and frightened his grip. Shorty strug-
gled to his feet, shaking at him, tearing
at him, driving one fist after the other
into Hampton's body. But, with a
grimness of purpose as new to him as
was the whole of tonight's adventure,
Hampton held on.
Judith and Lee and Burkitt came to
them as they were falling again. Now
suddenly, with other hard hands upon
him, Shorty relaxed, and Hampton,
his face bloody, his body sore, sank
back. He had done mad thing
but triumph lay in that he had done 1t.

Linoleury, Polish

An excellent polish and preservative
for linoleum can be made as follows:
Dissolve one ounce Of shellac IN one
mint of methylated spirits and apply
with soft cloth. The shellac must
be thoroughly dissolved by allowing
the mixture to stand covered up for a
few hours. Linoleum thus treated will
preserve its color for many years.
