She touched Larry's arm timidly
Can - can help?"
"Yeh, you're a fine one to offer to
help" he said gruff1y. You who
wanted to run away The best way
for you to help is to get out of the
car, so she'll have room in which to
lie down.
So Priscilla got out.

And then in the safety OF the sub

how she had acted. Calm now but
very white, she realized. She was
coward. Larry had stood by and she
had wanted to run away And that's
what she had always done. Run
away from life.
Run away from its dangers, its sor-
rows. its tragedies but also run away
from its warmth. its joys. its splendor.

most needed help. And she had run
away. too, from Larry.
Priscilla Ames saw herself at last for
what she was. But it wasn't until she
was at home. in the respectable COM
fort of her bed in the Professional
Woman's Club that the tears came.
She didn't see Larry the next day.
Or at least she saw him but he passed
her by without looking at her. In the
newspaper she read of the accident.

Then it happened. Just as they
were leaving the Parkway on the out
skirts of the city. A car, coming in

the road. The car Immediately ahead

Fordham Hospital, by Larry.
On Sunday Miss Priscilla Ames, the
prim New England maid, rose early
and journeyed up to the Fordham
Hospital. She carried large bouquet
of spring flowers.
The girls name was Grace Nos

newspaper account. But she was not
permitted to see Miss Nostrand.
She's getting along all right but
she's only permitted to see one or two
close relatives. Are you relative?"
No" Priscilla admitted. Can she
have these flowers?"
''Oh. sure" said the nurse.
Then as Priscilla was descending
the front steps of the hospital she
saw Larry ascending them. Larry also
carried long bundle wrapped in thin
green paper. Priscilla stepped directly
in his way.

He looked up. his face stern.

voice showing his bewilderment.
Yes" Virginia Daine said softly.
Hes my father. He was convicted
under the name of Tom Daine and
sent to the penitentiary. 1t was one of
those cases where coincidence makes
conclusive case of circumstantial evil
dence. 1t was Mr.. Perkett, working on
another case, who proved Dads
innocence. Dad was pardoned, but he
vowed that he'd never go under the
name of Daine again; he didn't want
people to know he was my father. He
was afraid some of his associates in the
penitentiary would try to get in touch
with him, seek sanctuary with us and
make trouble for me when it wasn't

He read it and sent messenger back

"Ii they want to surrender" he
said, "now's their last chance"
Evidently the Waxon Gang didn't
want to surrender. They knew what
surrender would mean, and preferred
to die in the open rather than in the
embrace of an electric chair. These
horsemen had been patrolling the
road, searching for the gold which
Dick had hi-jacked. At their head
quarters, they had machine-guns,
rifles, sawed-off shotguns. and tear gas
guns; but now they we're caught away

Dick heard Perkett's voice shouting.
"Dismount and surrender"
The answer was burst of firing.
Dick saw the desert become studded
with pin-points of flame. heard the
rattle of rapid machine-gun fire, saw
men crumple from their horses, heard
hoarse shouts. bitter oaths, the pound
of hoofs.

HIGH SCHOOLS
SHO " GAINS

Scattered reports from a few
schools of the county have been re-
ceived at the county superintend-
ent's office giving enrolment fig
ures at the end of the first week.
Two high schools, like Central
high school and junior college, show
a gain over the attendance at the
same period last year.
Holtville high school reports prac-
tically the same attendance, %<ere
being a difference of one pupil;
Brawley high school and junior
college, 623 as against $50 at this
time last year; Imperial high school,
161 as compared to 153 last year.
Westmorland is one of the ele-
mentary schools reporting a sub

LEAGUE OFFER

UNACCEPTABLE.

(Conta.ued from Page One)
September, as the league council
met.
Delay permitted the outlining Of
a full legal case before the league,
permitted Great Britain to mass
fleet in the Mediterranean, brought
increased possibilities that what
Italy regards as a colonial war
might spread into a European war.
NIussolini was said to have been
greatly veXed by the delay and 1t
was indicated that his plans were
seriously thwarted,
Military attaches said the rains
were not expected to end until
somewhere around September d.
the day recently set for the begin
ming of the Ethiopian Mascal feast,
which marks at least tremendously
the end Of the seasonal rains.
It would be another two weeks,
they said, before the terrain dried
sufficiently for big scale operations.
That would put the date for open
ing of a mass offensive at about
October II, if the expert deductions
were correct.
Also every DAY OF delay made it
possible for some development to
arise, toward peace as well as
toward war.

Next Week

Sander SZabo and Hans Steinke,

at the local arena next Thursday
night, Pete BuzukuS, promoter OF
the matches, announced today.
Steinke had no chance to make a
showing in last Thursdays match
against Mike Strelich, Pete said to-
day.
Hans could have taken Mike and
thrown him not only out of the
ring but out of the arena" he said,
but what was the use. He did the
only thing he could do and ended
the match as quickly as possible"
In Szabo Steinke meets a man
who will give him plenty of trouble.
Mat fans saw him in action here
early in the year and he puts on a
good fight. More evenly matched
with Steinke than Strelich was, the
bout, best two out of three falls,
should give the fans plenty of ex-
citement.

BY WALLACE CARROLL
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT


GENEVA, Sept. 81. - League of
Nations leaders today described It
aly's rejection of their peace plan
as disastrous.
DR.. Salvador De Madariaga OF
Spain chairman. will summon an
emergency meeting of the commit
tee Of five which submitted the
peace plan to Italy.
This committee will submit a re-
port to the council. It is expected
that the report would be accom-
panied by recommendations, which
II the committee has no suggestion
to make as regards further negoti-
atiors, may enVisage the ominous
possibility Of penalties against Italy.
The committee report probably
will be made to the council early
next week.
The council then is expected to
proceed under article XIV of the
league covenant, which is the one
directly preliminary to imposition
OF penalties on an aggressor.
The committee of five is only an
unofficial body, operating for the
council.
Now the council itself must draft
and publish a report, which is
likely to go farther than that of the
committee.
