 A few moments passed in silence Then the mare lifted her ears and nickered softly. She jerked at the bridle reins impatiently. Dona flat tened herself against the blacks shoulder and waited. A twig snap ped. There was 0 swish Of grass and suddenly Stan Ball stood be- side her. He was hatless and even in the dim light Dona could see that he was disheveled and his clothing torn.
 You are prompt" He spoke in a low. even tone that made the girls heart beat faster. "You are leaving?" Dona spoke swiftly to hide a tremor in her
 "To-night, I'll break through" Stan promised.
 Their hands met as he took the reins. In that second both seemed rooted to the spot. Stan was the first to recover. He drew his hand away quickly and bent toward her.
 T'lI .neyer forget my friendly enemy" he whispered.
 Dona swayed toward him ana Stan bent to meet her. Sud- denly & flame stabbed the darkness before them and revolver parked. A second flame followed. With the second report Stan was on me black mare and had whirled. Like A flash he vanished into the night. Dona turned to find herself face to face with Dudley Winters.
 "so this is the way you work!' he snapped. ., "Oh. Dud, you cant blame me TOT wanting to get him out of the nils; They would hang him If he stayed. | And I suppose he doesn't de- serve 1t! He didn't shoot your Ia ther or murder a man. That was All a bad dream!" Dudley spoke with bitter sarcasm. | He promised to leave," was the only defense Dona could offer.
 You were giving him a proper l lecture when l came up, ! couid see that" Dudley continued In high bad humor. . 4.
 I asked him to go and not to come back" There was an honest catch in Dona's voice. =, | "Well, I've had about enough!'
 Dona caught his arm. Please, Dud, don't be angry! I'm willing to do anything you say now"
 Dudley was somewhat mollifed but he was far from satisfied. Ills pride was hurt more than his heart and that required a lot of mending. He let her cling to his arm going down the hill and finally he spoke. q suppose you want me to lie about this buslness?" he said de- liberately.
 "Wouidn't 1t be better for both of us?" Dona asked simply.
 I'll do it," Dudley promised sud denly. But I'm to have some say around here from now on"
 Dona pressed his arm. You may have all the say from now on." she promised.
 They walked on in silence for a space. "I'll hold you to that prom ise tomorrow" Dudley declared almost gruffly.

into the easy chair.
 Without another word the girl walked down the steps and into the path that led down the hill. Dudley watched her go with a half smile but he did not move.
 Dona wandered along until she was swallowed up by the shadows, then she crossed to the path lead ing to the corrals. She moved at an easy, swinging walk with her head up and her lips parted eagerly. At the main gate she halted and peered about her. A dark form de- tached itself from the black wall of the saddle house and came toward her.
 70. K. Lady. You'll find her around the corner" Malloy's voice came to her softly. There seemed to be a reassuring note of approv- al in the cowboys words. Dona walked around the corner of the saddle house with Malloy close behind her. o~g~-
 "You could just turn her loose Shed find him." Malloy spoke cau- tiously.
 T think 1t would be safer to lead her to him." Dona whispered.

 Dona led the horse away from the building and made circuit ous approach to tho clump of tim- Der behind the main building. She knew Malloy would have a story ready in the morning to explain the loss of the horse. She wished she had asked him what he was going to say. Still there was no need of that as she would not know anything about what had happened.
 The far side of the valley was beginning to glow with tho first rays of moonlight. The reflected whiteness lightened the gloom they were passing through and made Dona hurry. It would not do to be seen leading Balls horse.
 They entered the clump of tim ber and were again enveloped in darkness. Moving slowly to avoid tree trunks. Dona led the marc to an open space where the light was

 "Dudley about sizes 1t up," Asper spoke slowly. But we're leaving Three Rivers for good day after to- morrow"
 Dona looked at Dudley and saw
 that he was gazing moodily into the sunset. She did not blame him for being out of sorts and gloomy but she was sure he would come around as he always had. Dudley w..s accustomed to having girls
 hatter him. He was more than q little spoiled. Somehow marrying
 Dudley had ceased to be distaste- full. It seemed not to matter much. Asper arose and stretched his big arms. T guess I'll go in and

 Dona waved him good night ana sat with hsr knees drawn up. She was not eager to listen to Dudley's accusations and to make ex- planations to win him from his gloomy mood. Dudley sat looking away from her with q pouting frown on his lips.
 The red glow in the sky melted to steel blue and 0 single star ap- peared. The moon would be late in coming up.
 Dona looked at her watch. It was

GLORIFYING !. YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
z5I9yzEI NEz 3Eslick skI,

Many a drab little office worker would surprise her associates Of they met of an evening.
 For the drabbest girl can em- erge glamorous lady under the electric lights, if she only knows how the trick is done.
 This year it is good taste, of course, to have your makeup so- phisticatedly au, naturel by day.
 Not so by night. however. To combat the hard, bright lights, you have to be quite as artificial as they. Outdo them at their own game, but do 1t right.
 In the first place, the best con- ditioned skin is apt to look dry at night, Therefore every effort must be bent to have that satiny. gleanl- ing look that is the real heritage of young and healthy skin.
 You can't get 1t by just slapping on this cream or that and calling 1t a day-or a night. The effect is the composite result of a number of things. cleansing, preferably. done in tho process of comfortably warms leisurely bath. Incidentally, this leisurely note should be struck all the way through. No woman can look her best unless she has time to go through the motions unhur- riedly.
 After your facial scrubbing. with facial cloth or washcloth, apply stimulating cream or mask. This whips the blood along its way and gives you 6 vital look. Leave 1t on for at least five minutes while you get your clothes laid out and your bath drawn. Before hopping into the tub, smooth a rich emol- lient cream all over your face ana neck. rubbing 1t in. Have a nice smelling one: that is half the value of it.
 After your bath you are ready for your evening makeup.

 "Its nice weather. I like rain. It ain't cold. And I got every thing to keep the rain off" Was She Too Wise? But Tommy didn't go. He stood at the window in his bathrobe and slippers and looked longingly at his chums behaving like seals on 0 moist shore.
 His mother seemed to be deter mined to make him i'll. In one way she was wise, but perhaps too wise.
 If a child Is well protected from rain and Is warm and dry next his skin, wet weather won't hurt him. He must be exercising and he must not chill. On cold, wet days loit- ering on streets is not so good. 1T Q child gets wet and sits with wet feet and damp clothes for several hours in vitiated air, that is an. other question. Children should be guared carefully against that. But don't be forever babying d child when 1t Is not necessary. |

 "They gave me away. didn't they?" Joan asked, close against him. People have always told me that they did. But I'm glad now. They brought you back" Then she remembered. But the girl with you--where did you park her? Who was she? Did she ob- ject to being unceremoniously dis posed of?"
 "She wasn't unceremoniously disposed of. 1t was high time for her to go home. Do you realize that the hour isn't exactly early?" Joan glanced at the big grand fathers clock that had licked the hours. some glad, some sad. some merely indifferent, for generations of her family. "No wonder my eyes are watery and my nose is red.

 Joan laughed softly. "Is 1t go- ing to be business already? But tell mo who she was. Not that 1t matters now. Was she pretty?"

WASHINGTON PAIR
HELD IN H|-JACK|NG
Arrested in Baltimore as
Members of Gang That Kid
naped Dry Agents.

Two Washington men were held in
Baltimore last night as members of the
hi-jacking gang that SPRAYED machine
gun bullets at a Federal liquor cargo
and kidnapped five prohibition agents in
Calvert County. Md, several weeks ago
The men, captured after 5-mile
chase through Southwest Baltimore
gave their names as Joseph McCaffrey
90, of the 1900 block of A street, and
Louis Brown, 25, of the 1900 block of L
street. Another man, arrested with
them but not believed to have figured In
the hi lacking gave his name as Louls
Cole, Elkridge, Md
The trio was captured when their au-
tomobile overturned while being chased
by prohibition agents, who said they
recognized McCaffrey as the leader OF
the nijackers.
At one time during the chase the
men were overtaken by the agents and
apparently were ready to surrender. AS
two agents approached, however, Nc
Caffrey suddenly stepped on the accel-
orator and shot forward nearly striking
the agents.
The men were locked up at the
southwestern police station. and the
agents said they would endeavor to have
McCaffrey and Brown arraigned tomor-
row. The agents added they had no
charges to place against Cole, but would
hold him for investigation.
1t was thought probable the trio
would be questioned in connection with
the attempted hold-up of the Washing
ton Mechanics Savings Bank and the
recent black shirt robberies in
Southern Maryland.
The hi-jacking occurred near Drum
Point. Md the gang holding up a
truckload of liquor seized in a raid
The liquor was recovered when the
