Spanish treasure may yet be found
in the Bermuda islands if ancient rec
ords and traditions still current among
the people are to be believed. Most
Of it must have been buried prior to
1909, when the islands were colonized,
at the time when Spanish ships, both
pirate and authorized, were carrying
stares of wealth from Central and
South America.
The early settlers In Bermuda were
considerably excited over the possibil-
ity Of recovering some of the gold,
and in 1893 made a determined effort
to discover it. Several witnesses be-

CHAPTER XII
Dunwig,s Park

Mesa boosted band of six pieces,
called upon for music on all patriotic
occasions such as ball games and
Fourth Of July celebrations. The
man who played the big drum was
Medford, clerk at Basford's emporium.
Him the owner Of the Flying Wy
pressed into service.
They repaired to the steps of the
courthouse.

"Kinda slow an steady"
With heavy measured strokes Med

filled the night. 1t arrested the atten-
ton of every man and every group
within hearing. All knew 1t was call
to gather for concerted action. Within
three minutes the courthouse square
was full.
The slow reverberation Of the drum
died down. Peter Mccain began to
speak. The gift of winning an audi
ence was native to him, perhaps in
herited from the ancestors who had
come across from the Emerald isle.
Before ne had been speaking three

now interrupted Mccain by leading
the owner of the sheep ranch to him.
do you know Miss Clifford, Mr.. Nc
Cann?" she said by way Of Interrupt
ton. "She has something to tell you
Again Ann told her story Of the
trouble with McArdle that had led tc
his death. Mccain listened and be
lieved. It was possible that Stones
story was true, too. Perhaps she had
missed the range rider and he had
been killed later in a fight with the
Texan. Or perhaps, which was Just
as likely, the little gunman had made
up the story to protect her. In any
event, it was clear to him that Tom
McArdle had earned his doom and that
he had not been murdered but shot
down after due warning.
There were half a dozen men in the
room in addition to Phil and the owner
Of the Flying Wy. To them Peter gave
instructions.
"There's two ways Of doing this Job,
boys. One is for us to get inside the
Jail an stand off the MOB. We can
do it, but there might be bloodshed.
The other way is for me to step in an
take the leadership in this job. That
last is how it will be. You boys will
sift in among the crowd an talk me
up as boss of this rodeo. They're
millin' around out thar and don't hard
ly know where they're at now Jas
Stark an Gitner have gone. So I'll
take charge When I make play you
back 1t strong"
"But-what are you going to do?"
Julia asked.
Peter looked at her, flushed and
bright-eyed and quivering with life.
She was lovely picture Of youth, and
at sight of it his eyes for a moment
played tricks with him. The girl he
saw was the one he had loved and lost
twenty-odd years before.
I'm figurin' on playing their game.
But We'll change it some. Well be
vigilantes and not lynchers. That calls
for trial. Don't you worry, Jessie.
It'll work out fine"
Julia understood now, when mad
vertently he had called her by her
mothers name, much that had puzzled
her in Peter McCann's attitude. In
his eyes, while he had been staying at
the Circle Cross, she had more than
once seen an expression she could not
fathom. But she knew now what it
had meant. She was very like her
mother, and when he looked at her the
hatred for her family was no longer
in his heart. The memory Of Jessie
Farwell made it impossible.
"Can you save him that way?" Ann
asked.
IF you'll come through with yore
story clean, If you'll tell what Tom
McArdle did to ruin the lives Of yore
family"
Ann shrank back, white-faced and
trembling. II couldn't-before every
body"
"Just enough so they'd understand"
he said gently.
Julia put her arms around the other
girl "I'll be with you, Ann she
whispered. And to Mccain she said:
Leave it to me-"
The old cattleman nodded Ee

end of the situation.

Jasper's jaw dropped. For a mo-
ment he stared at his questioner. APP

near-colapse had made, for he tried to
strengthen his denial by iteration.
"Why no, w-what do you mean? l.

McCann's next question seemed to
be far afield, but nothing he could

seemed almost to be spaced In their
measured evenness.

Out of his eyes the tenderness died.

ders. Then he sat down on the edge
of the cot to wait.
Wilson stopped in the doorway of
the Office, taken by surprise. The wom-
an he saw was not the one he had
expected to see.
Ann Clifford, pallid to the lips, came
forward eagerly.
"Can you save him?" she asked.
"Well try" he promised.
"He didn't do It. I did. I can't
let them kill him. It's awful" Her
eyes closed for moment, so that he
thought she was going to faint. But
she caught at the back Of chair and
steadied herself. II want to give my
self up. If they must hang somebody,
why"
The young mans eyes picked up two
others in the room, Jim VERIFY and
Phil Stark. He passed the question Of
her guilt as immaterial for the mo-
per and would disregard any evidence
she might offer, no matter whether true
or false.

Be Natural and You Will Be

TT SEEMS to me that youths great
est assets are naturalness, the
health, the sparkle, glow and enthusi-

And youths stumbling blocks are self

Youth is impatient to grow up, to be
definite personality, to make the world
aware of that personality. The longest
letters beauty editors receive are from
the sweet young things. The greatest
number of questions are asked by girls
of twenty and under and twelve is the
age at which they usually start And
the greatest mutiny against the powers
that created them are voiced by these
young girls Nose too long and legs
too short, too much hip and too little
bust, hair too straight and too much
curve to the figure. THESE are only
very, very few of the complaints.
Youths Impotence. Young girls of
fourteen should not attempt to adopt
strenuous reducing regimes. Let ma
ture take it's course. A little excess
fat for few years won't hurt, and
the gods may yet be good to you if
you bide your time.
People seeking advice on how to cul-
tivate charming manner clearly in
dictate over-anxiety and self-conscious-
ness. Be natural. be yourself, and
you will be lovely. Let common sense
guide you.
AS for actual beauty aids, very
