Chapter 30 MORSE SHOWS HIS ANGER

Anne reached the end of her fic- titious story of her own degrading conduct with a sinking heart. Ap- parently the footsteps on the porch were a figment of her imagination She was at her wits end.
 That's all very clever" Morse commented, but I don't believe Q word of it. I had asked you to marry me, and you perfectly well knew l meant to make things right with your aunt. However, it docs not matter-now"
 lie bent slowly and deliberately over her. Anne gazed back at him in fascinated horror, As Morse caught her fiercely to him her head pitched suddenly forward, her arms dropped at her side. She hung a dead weight in his arms With an Impatient oath, Morse lifted her and laid her on the couch. He turned quickly, looking about for some water.
 Even then, it was not until she heard him out in the dark kitchen, stumbling over things that Anne summoned strength to open her eyes. She had not tainted but was very close to the end of her en- durance and she knew 1t. She lift ed herself a little and reached out toward her sweater which lay quite near. Something gleamed brightly for an instant and the next

got to warn Burkhalter and the ranch owners that the water was turned into the reservoir-you nur- derer! What have you done with my wife?"
 Morse, who had been trying hard to look indifferent and unconcerned gasped a little, choked, struggled for breath. His face went from white to purple. Then with sud- den delft move he gripped Glenn about the m d dle, loosened the deadly clutch of the fingers on his windpipe, bore him down.
 A moment later, they swayed up, still locked together Glenn was younger, heavier, stronger winded, but Morse had some slight advan- tage in training. Hatred and fury added ten-fold, moreover, to his normal strength. For some time, he managed to hold his own, then Glenn began to push him backward. Morse was laboring hard for breath. He was bleeding copi- ously at the nose His resistence grew momentarily feebler The years of indulgence and dissipation were beginning to tell
 T swear I don't know anything about her." he said at last, as Glenn's fingers started closing again about his throat. She drove me out of the cabin up there at the point of a revolver an hour or so ago-thats the last I saw of her I'm telling you the truth"
 Before Glenn could make any re- ply he heard a cry Unconscious lyhe loosened his hold upon Morses throat and stood listening intently. The cry had come from farther down the trail-near the washout. There was something vaguely fa- miliar about the sound, something. that sent all the blood in his body coursing swiftly to his heart.
 Morse, seeing his advantage, sud- denly leaped again, tried to re- peat his former ruse of bearing his opponent to the ground. but Glenn recovered himself quickly, grappled him about the loins, lifted him bodily and flung him back into the thicket of briars from which he had come. If it weren't for cheating Burkhalter and the rest of their just due" he said grimly, @T'd kill you"
 Morse lay inert for 6 second, then he began to struggle dazedly to his feet. Glenn pointed laeonically [ to the trail and added, TYou get out of this part of the world-the quicker the better-and-don't come back"
 The railroad king started off up the trail without a word, beaten, sorry figure. Glenn turned and walked swiftly in the direction of the cry he had heard. Strange that it had not been repeated Horror seized him-a premonition of disas- tier. The blood beat deafeningly in his ears. The trail seemed to dip and sway in front of him. Copyright, Ruth Cross)

was hidden in the folds of her negligee.
 I'm all right now" she declared when Morse came back with the water, a little of which she gulped down to ease his ill-humor about having to get it. With one hand on the edge of the couch, she pulled herself up slowly to sitting posi- ton.
 Well, you don't look it." Morse said bluntly. He was watching her closely. Whats the trouble has the primitive, conceited bully been giving you a little cave-man stuff already, eh?" His eyes fell for the first time to the left sleeve of her negligee, which was deeply stained now with blood. He leaned forward and touched her arm inquiringly.
 "It is hurt a little" Anne admit ted, looking away from him, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to ban dage it for me"
 Morse emitted low. impressed whistle. "So-he did do it-well there's absolutely no gambling on 2 woman's taste" He turned anc walked over to the table to set down the glass of water. When ht faced round again, Anne was stand ing with her back to the mantle piece. He was looking into the small blue-black circle of a re- volyer muzzle, above which her eye; shown like reflections of the pol ished steel.
 He stared at her for some mo ments in an incredulous silence ssSo-that's what you were up to-, he observed after a while-coolly.

 Morse made no comment. He re mained perfectly motionless fo some moments, regarding her spec ulatively. Suddenly he lunged for ward, struck at the arm with tn revolver.

A FINE SHOWING

Announcement that Ell Centro ranks
fifth among S3 California cities IN per-
centage increase OF building permits, is
very gratifying but not astonishing 10
those who have watched building opera
tions here this year.
Up to September l the clty's total was
S432. .63S over S31S,325 for the same per-
iod last year, an increase of SO per cent.
Only is of the SO cities showed IN
creases over their 1929 figures and Cal
exico, Brawley and Ell Centro were num-
bered among these Is.
Every indication points to continued
activity in building in all the valley cities.
Prediction was made at the beginning
of the year that the 1880 total would
reach a half million dollars. 1t is con-
fidently expected that the total will sur
pass that figure by several thousand dol
lars. A number of commercial build
ings and private homes are still ON the
schedule for construction this fall.
Building activity is reflection of the
excellent conditions existing in the val
ley. While other communities in the
state are practically standing STILL I'M

slightest trace of boom, FORCES steadily
ahead and gives every indication of con-
tinuing to do so.

FOOLISH YOUTHS

One hardly knows whether to be dis
gusted with these striking high school
students back in Watertown, Massachu-
sets, or to pity them.
Imagining they had been wronged be-
cause the school day had been lengthen-
ed an hour, they went on strike, de-
manding 25 hour week.
While it is too much to expect COM
plete common sense in juveniles, any
more than in adults, it would seem as
though American boys and girls who
have reached the high school stage would
be able to recognize the distinct privilege
which is theirs in being permitted to at
tend high school. 1t is a privilege and
not a duty.
Happily the Watertown youths are not
to be taken as real examples Of the high
school students For the $50 who are
making ridiculous spectacles of them
selves, there are hundreds more who are
attending school and holding down jobs
on the side to enable them to continue
their studies and prepare for their col
lege education.
1t is pity that these Watertown
students cannot appreciate the fact that
the best and happiest days of their lives
are those they spend in acquiring an ed
ucation. If they could just be permitted
to see 10 years ahead for brief instant,
they would scurry back to their school
books convinced that instead of striking
they should ask for even longer hours.

might be unable to satisfy a judgment in
Is days and still be able to do so in a
longer period, the court asserted. To de-
prive him of the use of his car is not a
police privilege.
Judge Schmidt recommended a statute
designed to keep careless persons from
operating cars, not merely those who are
unable to pay judgments.
Therein he is right. More stringent

able. The geatest evil is not the man who

A SANE REVERSAL

While at first thought the law revok-
ing an automobile operators license for
failure to pay judgment within 10 days
may seem like wise law, the maj Jorlty
of US are quite likely to agree with the
decision of the appellate court, issued
Yesterday, that it is discriminatory ana
therefore unconstitutional.
The opinion, given by Associate JUS
tice Ruben Schmidt, pointed out that
whereas wealthy man could satisfy the
judgment with little difficulty, work
ing man might find it difficult to meet
it in the short time permitted by the law.
Rightly he argued that ownership OF
an automobile is frequently the source
of a mans ability to earn a living for
himself and family and to deprive him
of its use unnecessarily works hard

NEW MINIATURE
GOLF COURSE TO

to many of the larger and more eN-

to be constructed in FL Centre in
the near future. Permits have been
issued by the city planning com
mission for its erection, and work
is expected to be started at once.
The course will be located ut the
iuneture of Imperial and Main
streets, on the property at present
occupied by the Cozy Corner auto
camp.
The course will be owned by
Frank B. Bowker, of Los Angeles,
former Calexico resident, who tins
week is completing at Brawley Il
magnificent course stretching a
quarter of a mile in length, which
will ultimately cost. around Sbu.00O.
At present $4,000 has been spent
on the Brawley course, and IT is eN-
pected the course in FL Centre Will
cost as much, and be as excellent in
every respect.
While no statement has been
made. il is believed Anthony Nunn,
who has done much designing in
and about Beverly Hills, at Oak
Knoll and San Marino, and who Is
the designer of the new 'Brawicy

the completion of the course next
