 Rome-The present number of citizens i'. Vatican City state is 632, according 70 statistics from the gov ernor's "ffice. In addition. there are over 200 who do not enjoy Pontifical state citizenship.
 Of the 632 citizens, only two are so by birth! 495 are Italians by origin. III Swiss, eigh French, eight Germans. one Ethiopian, three Spaniards. two Norwegians, two Dutch and one Austrian.
 The only American, who was also a citizen of the Pope's small king dom, Father John Hagen, director of the Vatican Observatory. died re- gently.
 All the cardinals, resident in Rome, are ipso facto citizens of Vatican city
 There IS one common slament among the citizens of the Pope's state, and this Is that their corre- spondents from Italy nearly always forget that for postal purposes Vatican C'ty Is In effect a foreign state, and therefore the postage is higher than that for the interior of Italy. People who post letters to the Vatican City state often only put

 The Sacred College of Cardinals at present numbers only 59 mem bers of >hom 29 are Italians and 2G belong to other nations. The full complement of the College is 70. but it generally remains at about 65. An early consistory will prob- ably bring the present number up to that total, or near 1t.
 Of the cardinals, 26 live in Rome. either in the Vatican State, or in Rome. while 32 live "extra curia, or in other cities than Rome.
 Only one of the cardinals now living was created by Pope Leo XIII, Cardinals De Skrbensky, while Is were created by Pope Benedict XIV and 32 by the present Pope.
 During the papacy of his present Holiness 4S cardinals have died.

chief, gloomily. You'll all be good an

"Air you insinuatin' you mightn't git

for years to sense peril, OWNED he was
not far from death then. He had not
moved a hand since Hays arrival. II

would have ended that argument. But
the chances were too greatly in Hays

through. He could feel how intensely
the chief wanted to know what Jim
knew.

the absurd reflection. Excitement and
emotion had reacted so powerfully upon
him that ne was not himself. Right
then he made the stern decision that
when he started back to camp, to face
Hays again, he would be q thousand
times his old self.
Tie sun shelter he had erected had
once before toppled over and this
morning he found it nat, except one Of
the poles. Jim gathered up the dry
brush and made a seat and back rest
Of it. He did not inquire into his pre-
monition that the shelter had served
its turn. Then he sat down to watch.
1t was as ii he had never seen a sun
rise. There was no comparing it with
any other he could recall. And one
magnifying look through the field glass
was more than enough. Natures eXag-
geration of color and loveliness and
transparency and vastness was too great
even for the normal gaze of man.
But that superlative grandeur passed,
leaving something Jim could accept and
gloat over as actual.
From this lofty perch he gazed with
narrowed eyes across the shaded hole
below, into which no ray of sun had
yet penetrated. The black mouth of

stood by you, even in your guilt"
"Thuhl If 1t amt too late-I1l
make amends" he rejoined hoarsely,
and stalked away in the darkness.
Jim lay back on his blankets with q
weight OF oppression removed. He had
saved himself for the hour, but what
would be the outcome?
Jim had breakfast before the other
men were up. With rife in hand Jim
headed toward the western exit.
The sun was still beneath the rim of
the escarpments in the east, but its ap-
proach was heralced by a magnificent
glory OF red and gold.
Jim had never before been high up
here at such an early hour Any man
would have been struck by the spec
tacle. And there ran through his mind
thought of how Miss Herrick. would
have revelsd in this glorious scene.

the gorge yawned hungrily. Above q
on all sides spread the gray and red rock
ridges, dotted with dwarf cedars, with
white washes between, and on to spotted
red ragged hummocks that fringed a
green level, yellow with sunflowers,
which led to an abrupt break in q can
yon.
Loneliness was paramount. There was
no sound-only an immense silence. No
life at ain Not winged creature how
sring over that ghastly regionl But over
this scene of desolation slowly spread
the solemn blight of heating, blazing
sun, soon to mantle all In Elusive copper
haze.
Before that hour arrived Jim Wall
took up the field glass. Below in the
camp the men were lazily stirring to a
late breakfast The door of the cabin
was open. A CLINT of gold crossed the
dark aperture. Then the tall form of
Hays stalked out. He yawned. He
stretched wide his long arms. His ruddy
face gleamed in the glass to that sight.
Wallis whole being leaped.

Before this days done you'll

- despite his Ion nerve. That
was Hays crawling upon them
~ with gun in his hand.
% A bursting tide of blood
throiieh Jim's veins paralleled the light
ming Hash Of his thoughts. Death for
both of them was terribly close. His
gun was under his pillow Helen knelt
between him and the robber. A move
of even the slightest kind would be
fatal. Cunning must take precedence
OF action.
He swerved his rigid gaze from the
hun1ped black form to Helen's face. It
was~white as marble in moonlight. Her
eyes showed the tremendous strain
under which she labored. In that in
slant she could almost read his very
thoughts. Her fingers still crossed his
lips and they had begun to tremble.
ITS Hays" he whispered. scarcely
audibly. Follow me-now." Then, ex-
erting all his will to speak naturally, he
said: mo, Miss Herrick, I'm sorry, but
can't oblige you. I don't approve Of
Hays kidnapping you. but it's done. and
I'm a member of his band. would
not think of going against him, let
alone trying to run of with you.
There was a tense silence, fraught
with much apprehension for Jim. Would
she be able to play up to him? There
was Just a chance that Hays had not
heard any of their whispers, in which
case it was possible to deceive him.
Helen comprehended. 1t was Jim Walls
privilege then to see the reaction Of
woman at perilols moment.
"Ill give you the ransom money" she
said. quite clearly and certainly most
persuasive'y. MY brother will reward
you otherwise
You can't bribe me-" he rejoinedA
"And I wouldn't advise you to try it
on Smoky or any of the others"
Hays may have had only money In
his mind at first, but now"
"Den't move, Jim" came low, hard
voice from the shadow.
Helen gave little gasp and sagged on
her knees. Jim waited a moment.
IT won't, Hank he replied.
Then Hays tall form loomed black
above the rise of ground. He strode fer
ward. If he had sheathed his gun Jim
would have made short work of that in
terview. But he held it half leveled,
glancing darkly in the starlight.
The robber chief gazed down upon
6istinguishable, but the poise of his
head was expressive enough. Still Jim
sensed that he had been misIed
You cat!" he declared, roughly. "If
I ketch you again--tryin' to >1aribe any
of my outfit-Ill treat you so you won't
want to go back to your baby-faced
brother. :. Now you git to your tentl"
Helen rose unsteadily and vanished
In the gloom.

takin' this deal to heart" Hays said
slowly I'm much obliged. reckon
you're the only man in the outfit who

wouldn't have listened to her. And I'm
sure the others would have stood pat"
MY faith was near gone"
Evening star., 1931-05-28

Let his men have their hour, thought
Jim darkly. but If they did not mete out
justice to their chief the end was never
theless fixed and unalterable.
Jim settled back and raised the field
glass more from habit than any SEM
blance of the old watchfulness. There
vas nothing to see but the stark denuda-
ton of the brakes.
Suddenly into Jim's magnified circle
of vision crept dark Objects long line
