hard voice. .Ill take care of Hamp-

You will, will your? cried Hamp-
ton.
With one bound he was at the table,
jerking open a drawer. AS his hand
sought the weapon lying there, Bud
Lee was on him, throwing him back.
Carson looked at them a moment, then
went to the door.
You're right Bud" he said calmly
as he went out.
Lee, forcing himself to show calm
ness like Carson's, said gently to
Hampton:
Cant you see the play? It's up
to you to kick in and stop it. There's
telephone; call up the buyers in
Rocky Bend. They're there now, or at
least their drivers are, If they're COM
ing out here in the morning. Tell
them the deal is off"
Cant seer" said Hampton, with
ing out of Lees hands, on his way
to the door you bet 1 can see! If
you and Carson think that you can

Then, for good and all, Lee gave
over trying to reason with Hampton.

Argument Surely Must
Haze impressed Jury

COL Robert M. Thompson, president
Of the American Olympic committee,
said on the Americas arrival in New
York:
'There was some trouble here and
there during the games, of course, but
those who growled the loudest were
like the lawyer.
"This lawyer was defending bully
who had shot a revivalist in the leg,
whereat the revivalist struck him In
the face with hymnal.
Gentlemen of the jury the lawyer
said in low. sad tones, my client mere
ly discharged his weapon'-a depreca-
tory shrug and gesture of the hands
toward the revivalist's leg when
voice raised in rage and horror
when that bloody-minded miscreant, a
disgrace to the cloth he wears, struck
my unfortunate friend full in the face
with hymnal.'

you think for one little minute that
I'll stand for your high-handed ac-
tons, you're mistaken"
AT look from Lee, Carson stepped
quickly forward, so that Hampton
stood between them.
"You come with u.s." and now Lee
no longer sought to be pleasant And
keep still or Wen stop your mouth
with a yard of cloth This way,
Carson"
With right and left arms gripped,
with tagging feet and furious eyes,
Hampton went between them to the
door. For an instant only did he
struggle; then. with snort of dis
gust, seeing the futility of making a
fool of himself, he went quietly.
Just what he expected as a result
of visit to the girls room, Lee did
not know. He hoped for some sign
to tell him something. anything.
Quietly the three went through the
house until they came to Judith's
dainty blue-and-white bedroom. Here
all had been set in order by Mrs.
Simpson. On entering the room a

waste time. He drew Hampton back,
forcing him against the wall. As he
tried to call out, Lees hand over his
mouth smothered his words
You're coming with me-" he said
sharply. Fright now"
Though he struggled, Hampton was
little more than baby in the horse
foreman's muscular grip. Trippe6,
with heel behind his calf, he fell
heavily, Lee upon him. Both arms
were pinioned behind him, and Lees
neckerchief thrust into his mouth.
He writhed in impotent rage His
outcries died in his throat, the loud
est of them not reaching Marcia's ears
above the creaking of her rocking
chair. Lee still held Hampton's tied
hands gripped in his own. So the
two men went out the back door,
down toward the corrals
Seeing men hurrying from the bunk
house to the stables under Carson's
swapping orders, Lee called out for
Tommy Burkitt. And in a moment,
with bullying eyes, Burkitt came run
ming.
Bring out three horses, Tommy"
Lee commanded, giving no explana-
ton. Hurry, and keep your mouth
shut"
Burkitt obeyed Lee as he always
did, silently and unquestioningly. Very
soon he returned, riding, leading two
saddled horses.
Get into the saddle, Hampton"
said Lee sternly. There's no time
for nonsense. Get up or I'll put you
up"

CHAPTER XIII
A Signal-Fire?

Bayne Trevors' way had ever been
to play safe, the way of coward or
a wise man. Even now, no doubt he
was giving an account of himself in
legitimate endeavor at the lumber
camp, putting in his appearance at
his regular hour, safe miles lying be-
tween him and that which might oc-
cur upon the Blue Lake ranch, estab-
fishing alibis, conducting himself like
the man he wished the world to think
him. But in the mind of Bud Lee
there was no question, no doubt.
Bayne Trevors, or one of Bayne Ire
vors' gang, was even at this instant
holding Judith somewhere until this
colossal deal could be put over. Ire
vors or one of his gang-and Lees
face went whittier, his hands shut tight
err into hard fists, as there came to his
mind the picture of Quinni0n's twist
ed face and evil, red-rimmed eyes.
"Well?" snapped Carson. "What
now?"
There's going to be no sale in the
morning." said Lee and at the new
strange tone in Lees voice Carson
ierked up his head, thrusting it for
ward, peering at the other through
the moonlit night.
"Say it again." muttered Carson.
"Who said so? Miss Judith?''
"She isn't here" replied Lee briefly.
Hasn't been her since Saturday
night"
Now, with more cause than ever,
did Carson stare at him.
"Then what, did Pollock Hampton
say sell for? By cripes, if this is one
of that young hop-o'-my- thumbs jokes,
I'm going up TO the house an murder
him. That's all. An right now"
Lee laid a hand on Carson's arm.
Hold on, old-timer," he said short
ly. Wen have talk with him after
a while. Now l want to talk with
you
Contenting himself with the coolest
of brief outlines, Bud Lee told Carson
of Judith's absence and of his own
suspicious. Carson, who had listened
to him gravely, at the end shook his
head.
That's pretty bald play, Bud" he
said slowly. Il don't believe Trevors
would get that coarse in his work. 1t
doesn't look like him little bit"
Does this sale look the least little
bit like JUDITH" demanded Lee sharp
ly. is it her style to go over our
heads this way. Carson? If she's got
to sell heavily, why pick out this par
ticular set of buyers? Why is the deal
rushed through while she's away? /

"They wrote you letter offering
to buy?" said Lee thoughtfully, his
eyes rising slowly from the paper in
his fingers. How'd it happen they
didn't write to herr"
"Well, it's a natural enough mis-
take, isn't it? Knowing that she and
were both part-owners, knowing that
we were both here, isn't it quite TO
be expected that they would write to
the man instead of to the woman? OF
course gave her the letter as soon as
l had opened it."
.'Of course" answered Lee.
But his thoughts were not with his
answer. They were with Bayne Ire
vors. He knew that Trevors had long
ago sold TO these people; he knew, too,
that at least two of the heavy share
holders in the Western Lumber COM
pany were interested in Doan, Rock
well & Haight. Tom Rockwell him
self was second vice president Of the

mop" answered Lee absently.
What Bud Lee was thinking was ::
Here are too many condolences J"
Little things, each one in itself safe
from suspicion. But when he medi-
tated that the offer had come from
this particular firm, that it had come
just few days before Judith's first
departure from the ranch, that it had
been addressed not to her but to Hamp-
ton, so that he must have the oppor-
tunity to read it, that she had been
called suddenly to the city, that that
call had come after the house was
quiet, its occupants in bed, that no
letter had come since she had left,
that no one knew where to reach her
when he passed all of these things
in review the bitterness in his heart
died under them and the first anxiety
sprang up anew, grown almost into
fear for her.
There's just one thing, Hampton"
he said, his eyes hard on the boys
face. 1--WE don't sell single hoOf in
the morning. Not COW nor horse
until Judith is here herself"
Hampton new in his role of general
manager, flushed holly, his own eyes
showing fight.
II like you, Lee" he said sharply,
his tone that of master to man. "And
[ don't want us to quarrel. But Ju-
dith wired me to sell, I've wired the
buyers an acceptance and we do sell
| in the morning.
For a full minute Bud Lee stood
stone still, staring into Hampton's
face Then, tossing the telegram to
the table, he turned and went out.
His face had gone suddenly white.
They've got you somehow, Judith
girl" he whispered through tense lips.
But the fight is still to be made. And,
by God, there's a day of squaring ac-
counts coming for man named Bayne
Trevors ="
He went to the bunk-house, neither
seeing Marcia nor hearing her when
she called after him, and with a word
to Carson brought the irate cattle fore
man hurriedly outside.

Federal Lodge Team Leads
Masonic League With
Small Scores
By b. D. THOMAS.

The Masonic duckpin league, which
has thirty-three teams and is per.
haps the largest league of it's char
acter in the country, numbers among
its members possibly a majority OF
Washington's top-notch bowIers.
This being true, it would follow
naturally that a strong team should
lead the pennant parade.
But oddly enough, no such team
tops the standings. The Federal
Lodge team, which has rolled only
one set Of better than 1900 in five
matches, has the bulge on its thirty
two rivals, Federal Lodge has won
thirteen games and lost only two.
Up until its last match, this team
had high set Of 1882, but finally
got over the 1900 mark in it's fifth
effort, but only fifteen pins over,
ut that.
Jimmy Fields is the high average
Federal Lodge bowler with 102, and
next TO him is Holmes, with 101.--
rot pretentious averages for leading
duckpinners.
The figures say the Federal Lodge
bowlers ought not to be out front,
despite the handicap they receive.
But they're out there just the same
and defy anybody to knock 'em
back.

its home at. the new Colisuem; likely

Chances are good today that the
eastern football horizon win be
somewhat cleared by shutdown 20.
morrow afternoon Nine football
teams remain unbeaten but with
some Of these teams meeting some
of the others. Il is logical to expect
the nine to be reduced to a some

In the west the situation also il
worthy Of note, with Big Ten teams
swinging into action in consider
able number.
The south also offers some
plausible contests.
In the. east the foremost battles
are those scheduled at New Haven
between Army and Yale, the latter
undefeated this year and at Phila-
delphia between Pennsylvania and
Lafayette, both on the unbeaten
list.
Princeton, Harvard and Dart
mouth have what are considered
comparatively easy contests before
them. Cornell, beaten twice, is In
the spotlight because it Is cardod
with Columbia.
Princeton meets Swarthmore al
Princeton, Harvard takes on Boston
University at Cambridge and Dart.
mouth meets Brown at Hanover.
Lafayette is 'ayored to win from
Pennsylvania. Concentration of in
terest probably will be in Philadel
phia, although Army and Yale will
not be neglected. .a
Among other eastern games Of
interest are: Boston College VS.
Haskell Institute at Boston and the
Mayhem State tussle at Annap

The Illinois Iowa scramble .carded
for Urbana is a big ten contest
Of such tremendous interest that Il
practically overshadows all else in

The Army looked the winner OF

periods the Eli offense could not
sift through the stubborn defense
Of their West Point opponents. Tad
Jones decided between halves that
he must let loose with his best at

The second half Of that contest
showed the football critics just
what the Bulldogs had in store for
their Princeton and Harvard rivals.
The attack that they staged in the
last thirty, minutes of that strug,
gle was the best witnessed on an
