SERVING BERRIES

p ERRIES are particularly good
- served just as plain berries,
washed, dried, chilled and served with
cream and sugar, with one or the
other, or without either. they are de-
licious. Some persons, who eat them
without cream or sugar, think they
are spoiled by the addition of any
thing. However, that is a matter Of
taste.
Aside from plain berries, with or
without cream or sugar, there are
many tempting ways Of preparing
them for the table.
One way is to make sugar and
water strip and, when it is quite cold,
to pour over the berries. This may
be served with or without whipped
cream.
Then there are delicious tarts made

small and weak. On a high knoll
she halted and surveyed the trail
up the canyon. There was no trace
Of a horse as far as she could see.
Slowly she retraced her steps. She
did not dare leave her father for
long He might regain consciousness
for an instant and she wanted to be
at his side If he did
She had a clutching fear that he
might be only conscious once.
The sun already had left the
meadow in the canyon and the air
was beginning to chill. Dona felt
in her pocket for a match.
She found none and began to
search in her fathers clothes while
he continued to groan and seemed
to be straining to move. Not a
single match did her search reveal
and Dona came to the despairing
realization that he had packed his
match box with his cigar case In a
saddle pocket. Ito Be Continued

the saddle had given way and she
prayed this would be his last plunge.
Instead, the roam shot upward
again, twisting and sunhshing as he
went. Dona's arms were weakened
until she could no longer hold his
head up.
AS he came down, she knew she
was to be thrown. The saddle met
her as he settled back and instant
ly she felt herself hurting over the
horses head.
She landed sitting up, and opened
her dazed eyes to find herself grip

effort she staggered to her feet and
looked ahead for her father.
She saw still form lying in the
tall grass 100 yards down the hill.
Limping painfully, she ran toward
the spot.
Bending over her father, sobs
choked her throat. Asper had fallen
on his face and had not moved.

finally successful. With it under
her arm and ready for instant use,
she returned to her fathers side and
slumped down in the grass.
Then she tried to think what she
should do. She was alone and both
horses had disappeared. Asper
weighed 100 pounds and his weight
would be the weight of helpless
man.
She slipped her arms around his
shoulders and tried to lift him. The
best she could do vas to raise him
from the ground.
To carry him was impossible and
she cast about for another plan.
Rising, she tried to walk high
ground in hope of sighting one of
the horses.

With shaking hands she turned him
over.
His face was white and his lips
parted in blue line. When she
moved him, he groaned and tried to
move, but his eyes did not open.
Dona tore at his packet and pulled
it open. A red stain met her gaze
and she began to rip away his shirt.
She found a ragged wound high in

81 BRUCE CATION

ID Fed HARRIS, the Columbia
IN university newspaper editor
who was fired for lese majestic, or
something like that, last spring
speaks his mind about the Ameri-
can university and intercollegiate
football in king Football"
Here is a book that is measurably
less good than it might have been
but that nevertheless is valuable
and interesting bit of work.
It's value is lessened by the fact
that Mr.. Harris frequently scatters
his fire, and also by the fact that he
betrays his personal animus a bit
too frequently.
However, it is fortnight and
candid discussion of the evils that
have betrayed college football-ano
we are far from having a surfeit Of
discussions of that type.
Mr.. Harris bluntly declares that
a sordid materialism grips 'Ameri-
can colleges and universities today
and that football is merely a symp-
tom.
He asserts that professionalism
with its attendant evils of proselyt-
ing, ballyhoo, brutality and hypo-
crisy. is rampant, declares that the
average football player despises the
idea of getting an education, and
condemns alumni organizations, uni
versity presidents, and the fraternity
system with equal vigor.
His book may be overdrawn and
a trifle hysterical-but it will take
some answering. Published by the
Vanguard Press, it retails for 50.

Crashing through the brush, Dona

ahead in the open. Facing him was
a cowboy on black horse.

CHAPTER TEN
DAss CREEK canyon led dow

DASS CREEK canyon led down
l. on the south side Of Folly
mountain. A rugged rim divided
the creek country from the timber
lands of the Delo Timber Company.
None of the pine or spruce had
been cut in the canyon and the
trail was narrow, twisting in and
around great trees and close under
frowning walls. Dona pushed the
big roam as. fast as he could travel
with safety.
With reckless disregard for her
own safety, she kept to the trail. In
the back of her mind lurked the
idea that this man, Ball of Blind
river, would not attack her unless
she discovered him or his hiding
place, which she was sure would be
high up among the towering rocks,
possibly a cave with view of the
valley.
The canyon widened into a
meadow and she could see q mile
ahead. The roam lifted his head and
snorted.
Dona scanned the trail with alert
eyes. Close to the edge Of the timber
a rider was skirting the open mea-
dow. Dona touched the roam with
her spurs. The rider was her father.
Her mount leaped ahead, but be-
fore she could enter the open Asper
had vanished into the timber at the
far side of the meadow.
Dona Numbered. across the open
grass land, eager to catch up with
him.
The going was rough now but the
roam took it with the sure-footed
ease Of cow horse. He swerved and
his powerful forelegs struck out like
flashing streaks of light as he
lodged around the grass hummocks
and spring spots.
Dona swayed with him in perfect
rhythm. Her hat was gone and her
brown hair flowed back from her
forehead. They entered the timber
at the far side of the meadow and
she could see her father plainly as
he slid from clump of aspens to
the cover Of q berry thicket.
He vanished from sight around q
jutting shoulder of rocks, but she
was sure she would overtake him
when she rounded the turn.
Suddenly the roam leaped side
wise and tossed up his head. Dona
cast a f1eeting glance at the ridge
above. She fancied she saw a flash
of black in the higher timber paral-
lei to her course.
1t made cold chills run up her
spine and she bent to pull the car
bine from beneath her stirrup flap
With the rifle across the saddle and
ready for instant action, she
plunged along.
Beyond the shoulder Of rock she
caught a second glimpse Of black
This time she was sure it was q
black horse galloping along the rim
above.

she had uttered since bending over
him.
The timber king continued to
groan, but he did not open his eyes.
Dona began examining him for
bruises and found one at the back
of his head.
Asper had landed in a bad way
and had suffered a severe shock in
addition to the bullet wound. Dona
held his head in her lap and began
to take stock of the situation.
Ball would be lurking near. He
was a man who would take an I'M
fair advantage, that was plain. and
it made her position more danger
Gus.
Dona got up and laid ASper's
head in a hummock Of grass. Her
own body was racked so that she
could scarcely walk, but she struck
out in search of her carbine. AT
every step she expected to hear a
gruf voice commanding her to halt.

The roam saw 1t and plunged. Here
was something she had overlooked
She had failed to try her horse with
a rife.
The roam was certainly gunshy
and panicky. Some one had care

swing her rife around and bring
it down upon the black horse. The
shot was long one, but she hac
to take a chance. Then the roam
cut loose and began bucking.
With grim anger Dona let the rife
rattle to the ground and reached fol
the saddle horn. She fought the
roam savagely and without giving
him a chance. This was no time
for showmanship. This was a des-
perate stand with her fathers life
at stake.
A rifle cracked and Dona caught
a Earring glimpse of her father as
he pitched from his horse. A Sec
ond shot sent his mount stagger-
ing away, evidently wounded.
Dona saw the black horse rear UP
and strike air as its rider pulled II
around. The mans wide hat and
dark Chaps flashed once and he
was gone.
EURIOUSLY Dona fought fol-
Il mastery of the frantic horse be-
meath her. The roam had lost al
reason in his fear Of her rifle and
plunged until his mouth was drip

cred.

He Laughs at SpIinterS

DON'T be surprised If within a
- few weeks when the Indiana
Anti-Saloon League issues its list
of dry Endorsed candidates, the
name Of Senator James E. Watson
heads the list of the state selec-
lions.
The straws all blow that way,
and If anything else was needed to
show that Senator Jim is angling
for the bone-dry approval, his
Muncie speech Thursday night ac-
complished that.
Making a patent bid for a spot
on the Anti-Saloon League slate,
Watson said in discussing the pro-
hibition issue: In this hour, we
must preserve the gains we have
made"
1t wasn't so long ago that Jim
was denying the existence of any
gains, but now that there Is q
chance to get slated, he climbs
astraddle the fence.
He tells the vets he Is for ref
erendum, and the drys that he is for
preserving the gains"
-
In the same speech, Watson made
play for the vote of the bonus
advocates.
Seeking to support Hoover, he re-
iterates that he voted against the
bonus in the last congress because
the country couldn't support such
financial burden; and, in the next
breath, he declared your soldiers
boys will get your money, and ]
voted twice for the bonus"
And while he is assuring others
that he is opposed to the payment,
a group of ex-service men attached
to his cause, through self interest,
are going about the state telling
veterans that Jim will vote for the
bonus when 1t comes up the next
time"

would be one story and would be in
