CHAPTER v
Moya's Highwayman.

Dinner at the Lodge was just fin
ished. 1t was the one hour Of the
day when anything like formality OBJ
tanned. Unless there was to be night
fishing the whole party usually adj
journed from the dining room TO the
river-front porch. where such members
OF II as desired might smoke the post
prandial cigar of cigarette. Tonight
nobody cared to get Out rod and line.
Voices drifted up the trail and pres
emily riders came Into sight. They
halted among the trees. where one ois-
mounted and came forward.
He bowed to his audience in general,
and again md more particularly to
Lady Farquhar.

Lady Farquhnr rose. "I1I have the

ceipts of the day. The men had not
been recognized, but the description
of the horses correspondent closely to
those ridden by Kilmeny and Golfer.
1t was recalled that these two men
had disappeared as oon as the buck
ing broncho contest was over, not half
an hour before the robbery. This
would allow them just time to return
to the corral on the outskirts of the
town, where they had left their
mounts, and to saddle 80 as to meet
the treasurer on his way to the bank.
1t happened that the corral was de-
serted mt the time, the boy In charge
having left to see the finals of the
contest. Cumulative evidence of guilt
lay In the disappearance from the
fishing camp not only of the two men
suspected, but also of their compan-
Ions, Curly and Mosby.
Think he really did it, Ned?" India
asked her brother.
Cant say, sis. Looks like It," he
answered gloOmily.

Jack hesltated scarcely a second.
He could not take his gaze from his

motion charmed, whose deep eyes
glowed with such a divine warmth Of
molten gold.
"Thanks awflly. but I really caut

He bowed to one and another,

FOR BIG LOAN
Will Help to Float New In

Benefit of Germany

New York, Aug. 19--With the
successful conclusion of the inter
allied conference, American bank
ers yesterday began speeding up
the machinery for flotation of their
share of the $200,000,OOO interna-
tional loan to Germany upon which
operations of the Dawes plan will
hinge.
Preparations for underwriting
this huge financial transaction will
be started at once, international
bankers indicated, with prospects
that ratification of the London
protocol by France and Germany
will be followed by an early sale
of the loan. The offering, how
ever, is not expected before Oct
ober.
The presence of leading Ameri-
can bankers in Europe, it was
pointed out in Wall Street today,
would expedite arrangements for
the German financing. J. P. Nor
gan. Thomas w. Lamont and
George Whitney, all partners of j.
P. Morgan 4 Co., who will head the
American syndicate, are in Eng
land. Other bankers expected to
participate in the flotation CT the
loan, who are either in Europe or
on their way there, are Charles f.
Mitchell, president of the National
City bank and Everett B. Sweeney,
president of the First Nation
al bank of New York.

London. Aug. 19-Out Of the
great African interior comes a
pathetic story Of group Of white
men and women who are living in
a state of subsection to blacks who
exercise complete mastery over
them.
The tragic fate of these unfor-
tunate whites has just been reveal

Locust expedition have sent to
Cape Town. The expedition went
into the interior to study the
breeding ground of locusts. When
they arrived at Molopohole, hum
dred miles in the interior of the
great kalahari desert, the officials
were taken before Sebele, the para
mount native chief. They found
him we'll educated, able to speak
English fluently and both he and
his wife were European clothes.
The visitors discovered some so
white men and women living near
the chiefs kraal where they act as
servants to the chief and his fol-
lowers. They are thought to be
descendants of old pioneers who,
treking into the interior, lost them
selves in the desert. Their horses
died and the pioneers flung them
selves on the mercy of the natives.
These unfortunates have no
power to own land and no privil-
eyes of any kind. They are vir-
tually serfs to the natives tilling
the land of their black masters who
gave them small quantities of grain

Or is it just series of coinci-
