the supplies.
There was enough water for an
other day and possibly enough food
for three meals such as they had
eaten that night. Dona made up
her mind to play Balls game and

foraging expedition.
She returned to the bunk and
slipped of her boots and jacket.
Without hesitation she slid into the
bunk and snuggled down.
She thought with grim satisfac-
ton that she would spend a much
warmer night than her captor. The
cave was high up on the rim and
the night would be cold to the
point of frost.

All he could hope to do by this

lican managers are just beginning
to wake up to it, but George v. Cot
fin, G. o. P. boss, is so bitter in his
animosity toward Chamberlin, who
never has bowed his head to the
scepter, that it appears as if the

To offset Cox, the DEMOCRATS
have a number of advantages.
Their legislative ticket is the best
balanced in years, and every man
on it bears the liberal stamp.
Despite the hullabaloo and mis-
information concerning the tax
situation, the city administration is
conceded to be one Of the finest in
the history of the city, and de-
votion to the public good by Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan is unqueS-
toned
And this attitude of the public to-

what changes in sentiment have oc-
Cured.

But the thing~that made him feel
most guilty was keeping the girl
overnight In the cave. On the way
up the mountain it had seemed an
excellent way to arouse Dona's hus-
band from his compIacence and

grimly, almost sadly.
He came back and made a bed in

Dona still was sleeping soundly.
Her trim shoulder was exposed and
it rose and fell gently with her
breathing.
Stan smiled crooked smile and
retreated to the bench outside. He

finally made her appearance.
Good morning, he greeted her,

She gave him a cold stare and
hexed her arms.

her. Wen retire to the breakfast

Dona re-entered the cave without
word of protest. She had a plan
and she intended to carry it out
step by step. She sat down on the

4 R11K
a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

"COLD IN THEM HILLS tells
" the story of the last, and one
OF the greatest, of Americas gold
rushes.
G. B.. Glasscock, the author, has
written just the kind of book that
ought to be written about a gold
rush-breezy, colorful, and deeply
humorous and at the same time
authoritative and carefully docu-
mented.
He tells of the great gold rush
that hit Nevada shortly after the
beginning of the century-the rush
that made boom towns of Tonopah
and Goldf1eld and dotted the bar
rem, picturesque Nevada mountains
with a score of short lived and
tumultuous mining camps, and that
added hundreds of millions of dol
lars of yellow metal to the worlds
wealth.
1t all began when a lone pros
pector, camping in the mountains,
lost his mule.
Going to find it, he stumbled on
ledge where rich vein of gold
bearing rock came to the surface.
In short time, the rush was on.
The incredible commonplaces of
the gold rush get zestful telling in
Glasscock'S book.
We read about men who became
millionaires on $500 investments:
about mines so rich that the pick
and shovel gang in the shafts
carried out in their pockets enough
ore to make them wealthy; about
the eastern capitalists who sunk
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to build town over an utterly non
existent copper mine-and SO on,
through a colorful and fascinating
collection of stories that will make
any reader sit up nights.
Gold in Them Hills is published
by Bobbs-Merrill. 1t costs $3.50.

Opening Guessing Season

ID EXCEPTIONS accorded Paul v.
IN McNutt, Democratic Governor
nominee, when he made his whirl-
wind tour of five rallies in eastern
Marion county Thursday night give
some color to claims for record
breaking Democratic majority on
the big Chooseday.
Contrasted with the comparatively
cool welcome offered his Republican
opponent Raymond S. Springer the
Oh prophet almost is tempted to
agree with some of the extravagant
claims.
But as time tempers judgment
and all the complex angles which
go toward making the. Marion coun-
ty political scene are analysed and
studied, it doesn't seem wise to get
unduly enthusiastic.
There is talk of a Democratic ma
jority of $4,000, and they tell me
that some Of the boys have laid
money on the line to this effect,
but what's the old, old crack, about
a fool and his money?
Yet, if any one came up to this
observer and absolutely made him
take a free guess, ne might go so
far as to say that the Democratic
STATE ticket (get that-state
ticket will cop the county here
with about $4,000 to spare.
I'm ducking-don't throw any
thing.
AS was said before, the recep-
lions accorded McNutt were amaz-
ing. When a candidate gets to a
rally at II o'clock at night and finds
the hall overflowing with voters,
waiting to hear him, it gets the OBJ
servers to wondering.
And if there is any greater strain
or bore than to sit through three
hours of political spellbinding, you
tell me.
The estimated Marion county
Democratic majority of $4,000 may
be greater than that, or smaller.
There are several reasons why it
may not be less than that figure.
The principal Democratic draw
back is the fact that Harry o.
Chamberlin, the Republican NOM
inee for circuit judge, overshadowS
his opponent, Earl Cox.
Democratic leaders recognize that
Cox is their Achilles heel. Repub-

about for any article she might
need.
Her Eyes fell on the picture in
the rock niche. She pulled in down
and stuffed it under her jacket.
Suddenly a thought struck her.
Suppose Ball only was testing her
and would be hiding just of the
ledge? Then. too, she had promised
him that she would stay. Her pride
and sense of craftsmanship made
her hesitate to slip away by break
ing promise.
She wanted to capture Ball BY
her own efforts. If she slipped awav
he would leave the cave and make
his escape. fearing she would lead
the posse to it.

5088 children played during the
week.
The new total brings the attend
ance at all Fairgrounds for the first
ten weeks of the season to 710,829.
Average weekly attendance was low
cred to 71,O83 by last weeks num-
bers. Average at the end of the
week before last was 1896
Lack of any excessively warm days
kept swimming pool attendance at
low ebb. Only 23,432 swimmers visit
ed the city pools and beaches dur
ing the seven days. The total has
risen to more than 10000 week
several times this season.
Garfield ranked high in numbers
with 6,226 swimmers. Second place
went to Ellenberger, where 4,257
persons splashed and padded. Nc
Clure beach, usually the leading
pool in attendance, dropped to fifth,
surprising only Warf1eigh and
