Please go, Jody."
He did reach the church before the
ushers strung the wide white ribbons
up the aisle. and he whispered Groom"
to the gloved and spatted usher who
took him in charge. The organ was
whispering. He saw Art hidden behind
banked flowers. The music swept into

and his eyes did not leave her as she
stood while Art and Ann were being
made one. He watched her all the way
back, while the organ numbered.
He was in AIMS house before he
remembered that he had no card for
the reception. but that did not matter.
He joined the walk-past and said,
Congratulations, Art. III be seeing
YOU" and "Never a lovelier bride,
Ann" And to jimmy he said. I've got
to see you, jimmy"
He kept as near to her as he could
until the reception let Jimmy free, and
Ann, on the wide stairway, threw her
bouquet. jimmy leaped and caught it,
and there was Jody. He held her as
she was about to follow Ann up the
stairs.

But look! Wait a minute -
Someone bumped into his back quite

put foot on the bottom step.

rush of words. Il can't let you 90

Art was gone and so were most of the
ushers. They had gone to Billy

again until they went to the church in
spats and striped trousers and gloves.

down the walk to the waiting car.

Jody was left alone in the huge room
with the flowers. He heard the caterers
at work behind the closed doors across
the hall, preparing to serve the recep-

first horseman shouted something, and
the man dropped knife and fork to the
dust, ran forward
Dick saw the spare form of old
Judge Prumwate pushing importantly
through the little knot of bystanders
that had collected.
Judge Prumwate was the local Jus-
tice of the Peace. He had originally
been the owner OF a livery stable. Then
when his business had diminished al
most to the vanishing point. the local
politicians had pulled wires to get a
justice of the peace for Ouartzburg.
and Judge Prumwate had been given
the job. 1t had gone to his head He
had forthwith cultivated an oracular
manner, and talked learnedly upon all
matters
Dick watched Judge Prumwate ex-
tend his hand. saw the horseman
thrust some object into it. He saw
Judge Prunwate's very evident excite
ment, saw the people crowding around
in circle.
Down the main street Of the town,
men were running to join the crowd
DICK closed and locked the door of
his Office, ran down the stairs and
crossed the street to join the excited
group.
Judge Prumwate's voice, as filled
with dignity as the voice of a Supreme
Court Justice rendering an important
decision upon the constitutionalty of
some mooted question of vital inn
portance to the nation, reached Dicks
ears
There amt no question about it,
boys She s pay rock, She's jeweIry ore
Where did it come FROM"
The horseman said, I'VE found it
out on the Flying-M Ranch"
Who found it?" Judge Prumwate
asked.
"One of the new boys, Bert Plum
mer.
Where abouts on the ranch did he
find lt?' Judge Prumwate asked.
The rider laughed. That's secret
that only Bert Plummer and Frank
Laning are in on. Larring sent me in
to shoot the rock on into Phoenix and
have it assayed. But, shucks, there
amt no need to have that kind of stuff
assayed. Why, we broke up a piece of
it in a mortar and panned out the dust.
It's lousy with gold. 1t left a string of
gold in the pan as long as your finger"
Judge Prumwatc said importantly,
THAT there claim has got to be staked
out and located, or it amt no good.
Not unless its on land that's owned by
Frank Larring, and his range takes in
a whole lot of government land. That
there's legal point that you'd better
clear up. You'd better send Frank in
to me. so can tell him what to do to
protect his interest"
One of the men caught sight of
Dick. Here's Dick Gait, the lawyer.
He'll know"
Judge Prumwate fastened the man
with an uncordial eye. then turned
toward Dick, Gait" he proclaimed,
sis just lawyer. I'm a judge. You

What's the excitement?" Dick
asked
Gold" one of the men told him,
and handed him piece of rock.
Dick looked at it. 1t was some sort
of quartz, apparently a disintegrated
granite quartz, and even in the fading
light of late afternoon, it needed no
close inspection to show that it was
flecked with specks of yellow metal
Dick reached an abrupt decision.
He turned to the Flying-M cow

They rode down oil the side of the
mountain. There were no further
shots.
Dick didn't want to make Tom
Wharton suspicious, but he was
anxious to look through the barrel of
that gun and see if it had been fired
As they rode up to the little ranch
house, Dick swung low in the saddle,
dropped the gun butt to the ground,
tilted the barrel against the side of the
house, then swung from the saddle
and helped Wharton take the girl
indoors.
The interior of the house afforded
welcome reliet from the eye-aching
glare of the desert. Navajo rugs had
been hung from the walls, placed on
the floors, until the house had an in
detinable air of feminine individuality,
the stamp of character plus that GER
tain blending Of taste which indicates
the presence OF woman in the house.
Wharton laid the girl tenderly on a
couch covered with a closely woven
Navajo.
There's water in the cooler" he
said.
Dick brought water in tin dipper.
Wharton moistened a towel, sopped it
over her face. Her eyes opened. She
sighed tremulously. looked up at Tom
and smiled.
The horse took header" she said.
He nodded.
Dick started to say that it wasn't
header the horse had taken, but
Wharton held his finger to his lips. and
Dick let his voice trail off into silence.
She sat up on the couch. Pm going
to be all right now" she said.
Dick tip-toed from the house. circed
around to the place where he had left
the rifle. He picked it up. slammed
open the mechanism and thrust his
thumb into the open space back of the
firing chamber. He held the gun so
that the sunlight reflected from his
thumbnail.
The barrel, he saw, was dirty.
He was still staring down the foued
barrel when he heard Tom Wharton's
voice from the doorway, cold and
hostile.
Il never clean gun." he said. You
don't have to in this climate, and any
time you get done nosing around. Mr.
Lawyer, I'm going to drive you back
to town Miss Dame is all right now"
I'm going to talk with her," Dick
said.
Tom Wharton silently extended his
hand for the rifle. Dick handed it to
him, strode into the house. Virginia

''Yes, Tom told me-

She shrugged her shoulders. so far

enemies. How about you?"
Her eyes stared steadily into his.
I'm afraid" he told her, that in
some manner I've attracted danger to
you. l warned you about being seen
with me, you know"
She started to say something, but
was interrupted by burst of sound
from the yard.
Dick stiffened to attention. Six ex-
plosions that purred out so rapidly
they seemed to overlap. like the
explosions of a racing automobile
motor, ripped apart the hot silence of
the afternoon. Then once more there
was no sound save for the droning of
the flies that circled lazily about the
darkened room. Dick strobe to a
window.
Tom Wharton was tossing an empty
six-shooter to one side. AS Dick
looked, Wharton picked up another
revolver He held it firmly in his right
hand, near the hip. The palm of his
left hand was brought down smartly

MILK PRODUCERS
FEDERATION

Next October, the National Co
operative Milk Producers Federation
will hold it's nineteenth annual con-
vention in Indianapolis.
More than 1000 delegates from
the 54 separate cooperative market
ing institutions comprising the Ma
tional Federation, are expected to be
present. These delegates represent
over 100000 farm families, residing
in Al states, whose annual dairy
business amounts to S250,00O,000
even in these days of relatively low
prices.
1t is announced that the principal
subjects of discussion at the conven-
ton will be more effective organiza-
ton of fluid milk cooperative market
ing associations, ways and means of
perfecting large-scale cooperative
sales agencies for manufactured
dairy products, and problems of
operation caused by the Agricultural
Adjustment Act. In brief, the dele
gates will not meet for a holiday
they will meet to seriously consider
the factors that mean the difference
between profitable and profitless
farming.

On June Is, a number of notes
went out from the State Department
in Washington. Addressed to the
principal foreign powers, they polite
" informed them that their annual
installments on the war-debt were
due and payable.
AS everyone knew, all the notes,
with a single exception, represented
a waste of postage and effort. Every
major power owing this country
money had previously informed us,
directly or indirectly, that the in
stallments would not be paid.
America made war loans to twenty
nations, for total of $10,33S, 0OO,-
900. $2,747,OOO,OOO of that has
ben returned. However, overdue in
terest payments continue to increase
the debts which will probably remain
forever in the category of repudiated
obligations.
