/ "a dark woman, like dark horse,
often wins" writes Hazel Rawson
Cades, in the Woman's Home Com
panion. "But the odds are always
against her. It's hard job to buck
romance or live down old reputa-
tions.
Blondes are usually considered
dangerous, in nice way. But If
you'll take look at your melodramas
you'll find dark woman, every
time. There are many brunettes-
petite and ponderous, ivory-tinted or
swarthy, amiable or adventurous.
Each with her life to live and her
powder to match to her nose. And
it is not desirable or fair to expect
that every brunette should seek adj
venture, wrapped ina Spanish shawl.
There are, among them, good many
stylish stouts'. I'm sure they do not
mean to be dangerous. And are not"

ate, drawing voice.
A deputy touched Taggart on the
elbow.
you're wanted outside a minute,
Mr. Taggart."
Taggart went out in the hall. 1t
was Stella Montrose who was waiting
for him. He whispered with her in
corner at the end of the corridor.
I've waited long enough" Stella
told him. Come across with the rest
of that money-or I'll stop the show
NOW"
Her expression was determined.
Taggart was alarmed.
"Sh-h-h-h. I've already told you the
bank gave O'Rourke a cashiers check
for $20,000," he said. THAT, with the
$4,000 cash I already slipped you will
make the total we agreed on"
"Well, but give it to me-" Stella
insisted

checks no good until Marshall's girl
endorses it. I've told them O'Rourke
beat it over the border. We've got
to play this right. Just bide your
time. Marshall is doomed When

game. Don't worry-I'll treat you

well, you better" Stella said, and
they parted
The judge finished his charge to
the jury as Taggart re-entered the
courtroom. The Jurors filed out, and
the judge dismounted from the bench
A buzz of conversation filled the
courtroom as the recess began.
Marys arm rested comfortingly on
her fathers shoulder. He stared be-
fore. him, silent. Taggart approached.
1--WE have done our BEST" he said.
II am hopeful, very hopeful"
for Mary and her father, word was
sent from the jury room that YER
dict had been reached. The judge
mounted to the bench, raped for
order, and remained standing as the
Jurors filed in to their box in the
courtroom.
"Mr. Foreman, will you announce
the finding of this jury?" the judge
droned.
An ominous hush fell upon the
courtroom. The spectators all leaned
forward in their seats breathlessly.
John Marshall gripped his chair and
waited, rigid and livid. Mary, pale,
pressed against him, and stroked his
hand.
The foreman of the jury arose and
spoke, slowly chopping out his words:
Your Honor, the jury finds the
defendant, John Marshall, guilty"
The muttered awe that thrilled
through the courtroom at the word
Guilty" almost drowned out his last
words. The judge beat his gavel upon
the rostrum. Marshall had sunk back
in his chair in utter despair. Mary
arose, her hands clenched, her face
filled with wild terror
of the murder of Black Ben

Whispering voices buzzed through
the room. Mary, her head at first

swooning into Taggart's arms.
The judge was rapping for order,
and silence once more filled the room.
"You have heard the verdict of the
jury" he was droning. 1.-THE court
will pronounce sentence upon the
prisoner two weeks from today, and
until that time the case is ad-
journed."

kept accelerating the speed of the car
to it's utmost. Snorting and racing
furiously, they approached the old
wooden bridge across the River. The
warning sign on the bridge approach
read, "Danger-Speed limit over
bridges eight miles per hour"
Buck did not heed the sign He was
going at more than sixty miles an
hour, and kept right on. The shaky
wooden bridge trembled and groaned
as the heavy car plunged onto it at
that velocity. AS the car reached the
middle there was sound of snap
ping timbers, crash. The old wood
en- structure collapsed, dropping the
careening car into the water below.
There was one nearby, watching,
who saw the accident. 1t was Komi,
the old Yaqui chief.
| He saw the men struggling in the
water, each man for himself, to dis
entangle themselves from the wreck
age. Then he saw three of them,
swimming desperately for the shore.
In the midst of the circling ripples,
left by the plunge of the automobile,
he suddenly saw a fourth head rise
to the surface, suffering, then sink
again.
Komi ran to the end of the remains
of the bridge, watched for this head
to rise again, then dove In and swan
swiftly to the spot. Just as the head
rose to the surface for the third time
Komi reached the drowning man and
caught him by the hair.
He recognized the man as Terence.
Komi started swimming for the shore,
dragging Terence after him. Buck
and his comrades had reached shore,
and were standing on the bank,
watching and waiting. They ran up
as Komi pulled in and laid Terence's
limp body on the ground
Dead" he cried, as the men ap-
preached him. "Me too late" He
pointed at Terence's bound hands.
Him hands tied-can't swim. Him
drown"
There was no breath stirring in
Terence's breast. He lay motionless.
Buck approached, kicked him with his
foot, to turn him over. The limp
body rolled over, and lay still.
Komi spoke again:
Leave him body with Komi
please" he said. "Him's father
Komi's friend-Komi bury him
where his father sleeps"
mo harm in that, guess" Buck
said grimly, turning to his fellows.
He won't trouble us no more now.
You birds beat it back to camp. I'm
streaking for the Spear Ranch to
phone Taggart that O'Rourke's
croaked."
The dripping men separated, Buck
going his own way in different di.
rection.
Komi watched carefully till all van
ished from sight. Then he bent over
Terence's body, cut the rope which
bound his hands, worked his arms Wig
orously, then bent over and listened
to his heart. F
Maybe yet" he muttered, may
be yet him live"
With renewed zest he started
working Terence's arms to restore
| respiration.
At the end of half hour Ter
ence still lay limp, but the old In
dian kept up the resuscitatory mo-
tons, faithfully and frantically in the
dim hope of still bringing him to life.

said They Wanted Work.
Several women wer engaged In
| cleaning the theater when the two
youths sauntered in and inquired for
the manager. One of the women
pointed to his office and then volun-
teered to call Barrett. The youths
told her they would interview him
personally since they We're exper-
fenced theater men and wanted en-
ployment. No further notice was paid
them and when, about 10 minutes
later, they walked nonchalantly
down the stairs and strolled through
the lobby into the street they passed
unnoticed. A quarter of an hour
afterward, the muffled calls for help
attracted the women and Barrett
was released.
The payroll taken was fully COW
cred with insurance, Manager Bar
rett said today.
The description furnished the de-
tective bureau leads the investigators
to believe the men responsible for
todays activities are the ones who
carried through a job in Bristol re-
Gently when a theater safe was rob-
bed in the night.
Had the gunner timed their ap-
pearance a little earlier they would
have walked into the office and con-
fronted an open safe with the covet-
ed satchel and box office receipts
laid out before them.
One Of the women cleaning the
theater told Manager Barrett she
noticed the two men walking about
in front of the building more than
half an hour before they entered.
When they mentioned their errand
as one in quest of employment her
suspicious were allayed.
Suspect Lodged in Cell
With the information furnished
him by Barrett, Detective Thomas
Feeney today brought a suspect to
police headquarters and he was
lodged in a cell preparatory to ex-
animation by Sergeant William P.
McCue, chief of detectives.
The suspect stood up well under
the scrutiny of Barrett, who visited
headquarters this afternoon. and re-
iterate! the statements made to De-
tective Feeney that he was not in
the vicinity of Capitol theater
today and that he was on the street
because of the fact that he was out
of work and was seeking employ
ment.
His wearing apparel was not the
same as that of the taller of the
two bandits, but his physical char
aoteristics and such of his facial
marks as Barrett detected during the
hold-up were similar. Barrett de-
clared he would have no hesitancy
in naming the suspect as the guilty
man if the apparel resembled his
recollection of what the gunman
wore.
Police in nearby cities have been
asked to assist in locating what the
local officers call a "shiek bandit"
His general appearance and his
clothing were of the kind usually
found on dance hall habitues, they
say.
From the pocket of their suspect,
TIL police this afternoon extracted
a highly peri med handkerchief
The handkerchief used in gaggine
Barrett was also perfumed.
