wide open spaces between them
through which she shot like a fright
ened deer, turning this way and that,
darling about a clump of little frs,
plunging into the shadows under great
sky-seeking cedars~ running as she
had never run before and as she knew
Mad Ruth could not run.
Free! She was free. The triumph
Of it danced in her blood. On she ran
and now Quinnion's voice and Ruth's
were confused with the roar of the
river. On she ran and on and on,
and but family there came to her the
sound Of breaking brush somewhere
behind her. Never had her blood sung
within her as it sang now; never had
the dim, moonlit solitudes of the
mountains opened their sheltering
arms to one more grateful to slip into
them, like a wounded child into the
soothing embrace Of its mother
Now again she turned so that her
flying steps brought her. close to the
waters edge. Louder and louder
grew it's shouting voice in her ears,
little by little drowning out the sounds
of Ruth and Quinnion behind her.
Now, in all the glorious night, there
was no sound to reach her but the
sound of running water and her own
beating feet. She was free.

SOCIALISTS GAIN
IN GERMAN VOTE
Election for Reichst0g Shows
People Strongly Against
Monarchy Return.

Berlin-An extraordinary increase
IN the vote of the socialist party over
that of last May, consistent gains by
the democrats and the political obli-
teration of Gen. Ludendorff's chauv-
lnistic, anti-semitic party are the out
standing features Of the general cleo
tons for the return members of the
reichsrag and Prussian diet.
While definite deductions regarding
the relative ultimate strength of the
eight contending major parties are as
yet impossible, the present returns,
taken as averages, indicate that the
socialists will enter the new reichstag
as the strongest party. Their gains
were made chiefly at the cost of the
communists.
The democrats ran exceptionally
well in the metropolitan districts, and
in all probability will elect forty
deputies, as against twenty-eight last
May.
The clerical party's vote shows only
a slight variation as compared with
the figures in the last election, and
Chancellor Marks party will be re-
turned with an Increase Of Ave man
dates.
The German nationalists appear to
have annexed the defections from
Ludendorf's party but they have al
so lost votes to the German peoples
party. The nationalists will probably
be second strongest party in the
reichstag.
If the socialists, clericals and DEM
ocrats maintain the ratio reflected in
the early returns they will command
sufficient mandates to constitute a
new government coalition.

CHAPTER XIV
Alone in the Wilderness

And Quinnion was coming on She
was trapped, caught between the two
of them. She heard Quinnjon laugh
again; he, too, had heard Ruth.
"Oh, God help me!' whispered Ju-
dith. "God help me nowv
There was no time to hesitate. If
she stood here, Quinnion would in a
moment wrap his arms about her; if
she dropped down, she would be in
the frenzied clutch Of Mad Ruth.
A second she crouched, peering
down into the gloom below her, seek
ing to make out the form of the mad
woman. Then she did not merely
drop, but jumped, landing fair upon
the waiting figure, striking with her
boots on Mad Ruth's ample shoulders
A scream of rage from Ruth, a little,
strangling cry from Judith, and the
two fell together. Ruth clutched as
she went down and a hand closed
over the girls ankle. Judith rolled,
struck again with. the free boot,
twisted sharply and felt the grip
torn loose from her ankle. She was
free.
She jumped up and ran and knew
that Ruth was running just behind
her, screaming terribly. Judith fell,
and her heart grew sick within her.
But again she was up just as Ruths
hand clutched at her skirt, clutched
and was torn away as Judith ran on.

fear again gripped her; it seemed SO

Washington-The agricultural APP
preparation bill aggregating $124,637,-
us, an increase of $58,923,279 over
appropriations last year. has been
reported to the house.
The bill carries $SO,O00,OOO for road
construction, an increase of $61,000,-
900 over the 1925 appropriation. Reg
ular expenses Of the agricultural de-
partment were reduced S2,712436.
Other items in the bill included:
Agricultural experiment stations,
$1,440,0O0; upper Mississippi river
refuge, $4O0,O00; cooperative forest
fire protection, $66O,000; acquisition Of
additional forest lands $1,000,000; era
dication of foot and mouth disease
and other contagious diseases of ami
mails, $10,980.
An appropriation of $2,977,973, or
$84,O50 more than the 1925 figure, was
recommended for the forest service.
The appropriation Of 100000 for
the acquisition of additional lands will
permit the department to establish

Judith Of Blue Lake Ranch
BY JACKSON GREGORY


long before she could rise and Chamber
over a fallen log and race on. But
the darkness which tricked her pro-
tected her at the same time, playing
no favorites now. Ruth, too, had
fallen; Ruth, too, was frenzied at
the brief delay.
Stumbling, falling, rising, stagger-
ing back from tree into which she
had run full tilt, bruised and torn,
the girl ran on. At every free step
hope shot upward in her heart; at
every fall she grew sick with dread.
The canyon broadened rapidly, the
ground underfoot grew less broken
and Uttered with boulders and logs.
Through tangles of brush she went
blindly, throwing herself forward,
falling rising, falling, rising again. 1t
was nightmare of a race, with Ruth
always just there, almost at her heels.
She turned as far away from the
stream as she could, keeping under
the cliffs where there was less brush !;
where the way was more open, where
the shadows were thickest.
She was understanding Mad Ruth.
Ruth's weird voice came from a great
er distance; the woman was ten. may
be twenty, feet behind her.
The moon at last rose pale gold
above the eastern ridge. And now
Judith could thank God for it. For
the canyon had widened more and
more, the banks of the river were

Again Judith took what risks the
night and the rocks offered her and
thanked God in her soul that it was
given her to take chance in the
open, to use her own muscles In her
own fight. not to lie longer playing
the part of a do-nothing. Now and
then, across the void, there hoated
to her little moaning cry from the
mad woman's lips. Now and then she
heard curse from Quinnion above
often from above her, from below her
own feet, from across the chasm, drop
ping stones, falling almost sheer. told
of haste and death which might come
from an unlucky step.
Fast as Judith went now, having
fair sort Of cliff trail under her,
Mad Ruth went faster: The gorge
measured a scant fifty feet between
them and the girls alert senses told
her that already Ruth was on a level
with her. Ruth was winning in the
desperate race She knew her way
down so perfectly, her heart was so
filed with madness, that danger was
nothing to her.
Down and down climbed Judith,
caution welded to haste, as she told
herself that she had chance yet,
that that chance must not be tossed
away in a fall, though 1t were but a
few feet. She must have no sprained
ankle If she meant to see the sun rise
tomorrow.
The flush had frightened in the
sky where the moon was so near the
ridge. The moon, too, had Joined in
the race; with one quick glance to-
ward it, Judith again discarded eau
ton for haste. She must get down
into the floor of the canyon before the
moonlight did; she must be running
before its radiance showed her out
to Quinnion and Ruth.
Her hands were cut and bleeding,
her heart was beating wildly, already
her body was sore and bruised. But
these things she did not know. She
only knew that Quinnion was still
coming on above her, and coming more
swiftly now, quite as swiftly as she
herself moved, since his feet, too,
were in the better trail; that Mad
Ruth had completed the descent
across the chasm and by now must be
crossing the stream upon some fallen
log or rude bridge; that one minute
more, or perhaps two. would decide
her fate.
She could see the stream, glinting
palely in the starlight. 1t seemed
very near; its thunder filed her ears.
Down she went and down, down IN
til at last she was not ten feet above
its surface, with strip of gently
sloping bank just under her. She
stopped, took firm hold upon knob
of boulder, prepared to swing down
and drop to the bottom. And, as she
stopped, she heard little whining
moan just under her and straight
ened up, tense and terrified. Mad
Ruth was there before her, Mad Ruth
was waiting.

France Curbs Communist
Activities BY Dep0rtntions

policy of wedding out foreign agita-

belief that the menace Of red peril
comes rather from foreigners than
from French communists
All those deported we're organizers
of The communist Centuries, or adj

ton of the bourgeoisie was taught in
the classrooms.
The communists are showing no
alarm. None of their widespread or

as is known, and their organ, Human

to be ready for action at any moment.

ports to be communist confidential

Premier Herriot has stirred UP red

mad Des Debats, two of the most
sober of the Partisan newspapers, lead

But though she could not see it, she

had a picture of it in her mind. A
picture that only increased her hope

hope to break it down or push it aside.
And above it and below, and on each

She no longer knew what day it was.
She scarcely knew If it were day or

to do so that she would not go mad,

herself another weapon. Another bit

CHAPTER xIV-Continued

Judith, Judith the girl whispered
after the first outburst, when she
found that she was shaking pitifully.
you've got to do better than tits;
I'm ashamed of you"
she went back to her couch, where
she sat down seeking to hold her
jangling nerves in check. But, despite
her intention, she sat shaking, lis
tening listening praying for even the
football Of her jailer.
When Ruth was with her she at
tempted in a hundred ways to gauge
the woman's warped brain, to seek
some way to get the better. of her,
to gain her trust and so to slip away.
But she found that here was the us
ual cunning born of madness, and that
Ruth's one idea was to keep the girl
who had escaped her once but who
must never escape again. There we're
times when suspicion awakened in
Ruth's mind, and she broke into vio-
lent rage, so that her big body shook
and her eyes in the lantern-light we're
cruel and murderous, when Judith
shrank back, and tried to change the
womarR thoughts. For more than
once had Mad Ruth cried out:
"I'll kill you! Kill you with my
own hands to keep you here. To keep
you mine, mine, mine! !"
The woman carried no weapon, but
after her two hands had once gripped
the girls shoulders, shaking her. Ju-
dith knew that Ruth needed no wea-
pom. Hers was a strength greater
than Trevors', greater than two mems.
II Mad Ruth saw fit to kill Judith
with her two hands, she could do it.
Sunday passed and Sunday night
Monday and Monday night. Judith
knew that she had accomplished moth
ing, except perhaps to make Ruth be-
tieve that she was very much Of a
coward In Ruth's mad brain that
was little enough, since this did not
allay her cunning watchfulness. Then
Judith began to do something else,
something actively. Just to be &C.
cupied, was something. Her fingers
selected the largest, thickest branch
from her bed Of fir-boughs. 1t was per-
ps a couple of inches in diameter
and heavy, because it was green. 81
lently, cautious Of a twig snapped, she
began with her fingers to strip the
branch, tough and pliable. Then the
limb must be cut into length which
would make it club to be used in
ii cramped space. She found a bit
OF stone, hard granite, which had
scaled from the walls and which had
q rough edge. With this, working
many quiet hour, she at last cut in
two the THROUGH. She lifted it in her
hands, to feel the weight of it, before
she thrust it under her bed to lie hid
den there against possible need. Poor
thing as 1t was, she felt no longer
utterly defeDseless.
Once Mad Ruth, lighting the Ian
tern, had dropped "a good match.
When she had gone, Judith secuted
1t hastily, hiding it as if it were gold.
She knew that now and then Mad
Ruth went down the cliffs and to the
cabin across the chasm. Always at
night. and at the darkest hour. When
she heard her go, Judith rose swiftly
and went to the heavy door. Always
she found it locked; her shaking at
it hardly budged the heavy timbers.
