could see Kelly's lips move

said and nobody heard but Dixie.

Carol drew her hand away. He
was so excited he did not notice it,
nor the disdainful glance she gave
him. Her eyes went back to Duke
again. AS she saw him, standing
there so straight, SO clean-cut, so
calm, she thought that if Lightning
did not win-if Duke was ruined
she would die.
When Carols eyes came back to
the track, Sierra Cap was out of
it. The race lay between Lightning
and Moon Ray. The thousands of
men and women in the stands sensed
this was no ordinary race. They did
not know all that lay behind it-love
and hatred. jealousy and hope, for
tune or failure-but there was a
hush of suspense as Kelly adroitly
whipped Lightning out Of the pocket

was cursing. Kelly heard him. But
over and above those curses, he heard
the shouts from the stands.

CHAPTER xxx.
What could they do?

"QdG COulQ IQey 90!
That question was etched in the de-
epair on the faces of FTitzie and
Kiffie when Duke joined them at the
hotel. Kiffle was beyond words as
we'll as thought. He could only moan.
Fritzle, of the sharp mind and quick
tongue. felt as if everything except
her body was paralyzed. She held out
her hands to Duke as he came in. He
took them for minute. He even laid
his hand for moment on the cow
ering Kiffie. But there was not a min
ute to lose. He fairly ran to the tele-
phone. When Fritzie heard his first
words something like a sigh of hope
came from her.
''Of course" she said. "Hand-Rid-
ting Kelly"
Kiftle stopped shaking his head and
moaning, But it wasn't clear track
ahead. 1t was evident that Kelly was
none too keen to ride.
Listen to me. Kelly. said Duke,
determination in his voice. You're
talking like a fool What do you
mean-you can't ride?"
1t was Fritzie who was moaning
now. Kifie could not look at her.
Dukes face was hard in its des-
peration and his voice was harsh in
its firmness as he listened.
Cut that stuff, Kelly" he said.
where's your CUTS? Stop breaking
IN on me with your fool objections
So-Dixie fouled you in Kentucky
and you've lost your nerve! never
thought to hear such words from you
You, HandRiding Kelly, talking like

Fritzie stopped moaning and leaned
forward eagerly. Kif1ie's eyes were on
Duke now and they were eager eyes.
Don't be sap" Duke went on.

can't you see you're playing right into
Dixie's hands? Why do you suppose
he was out to get you-why he fouled
you? Because you were a threat to
him. That's why: A dirty rat. YOU
say? Sure But what are you going
to do about it? Come on. Get in that
race tomorrow. You can outride that
skunk any day, if you just make up
your mind you can"
There was moment when he did
not speak, listening to Kelly.

up. He turned to Fritzie well, old

Hand-Riding Kelly, when he pre-
sented himself at the Saratoga pad
dock the next day, was nervous. That
was evident. But there was some
thing in addition to pathetic eager

was a CLINT in his eye which told of

THE LEGEND OF THE TWO
CHINESE DOLLS
They were two porcelain toy
dolls standing on the shelf. His
name was Chen Gnu, the Fearless,
the great Chinese warrior. Her
name was Wan Ling, a beautiful
little girl doll. They were in love
and they were happy there in the
toy shop. But they wanted to be
married. Now, it happened that
Wan Ling and Chen Chu were soon
to be taken away from the toy shop
to the great palace of Koo Hong,
the emperor of all China. There
they could not be married because
toys in China could only be married
by toy priest.
One day, in a quiet corner of the
toy shop, seated under huge toad
stool, the two lovers talked about

Then Chen Chu was sad. For
well he knew that on that day the
great Koo Hong would send his
trusty men to take him and Wan
Ling to the palace. So with a
heavy heart he turned back to his
loved one. But one of the Little
People had heard about Chen Chu's
dilemma. His name was Sixto. He
made up his mind to help the two
porcelain dolls.
To the Fearless One, Sixto said,
"Oh, unhappy warrior! l shall help

Nothing further can 1 tell you.
But you and your loved one must
go forward with your plans for the
wedding. 1t shall be. l promise
you; it shall be-"

GAMBLING FPRORT
BY GRAND JURY
Body in Session 8 Days,
Returns 81 True Bills
Indictment

The grand jury for the Novem-
Der term of court found 81 true
bills of Indictment. No indict-
ments were found in II cases on
account of insufficient evidence
or other reasons. Two hundred
and thirteen witnesses were ex-
amined.
The jury reported having given
much consideration to the gamb-
ling question, calling many wit
nesses but found that enforce
ment officers are hampered, due,
in part, to the law legalizing
some of the so-called gambling
machines and not others, being
confused as to which machines
are legal and which are illegal,
and also in part, to the apparent
lack of public interest in giving
evidence that would aid or assist
the officers in the prosecution of
these cases.
In visiting the various public
buildings some recommendations
rava made. Charles e. Fry was
foreman of the jury which was in
session for eight days.

SHEET EROSION OF
SOIL Is A THIEF
Has Moved From % to rs

This Section

In word of caution to Mary
land farmers, o. c.. Bruce, state
coordinator for the Soil Conserva-
ton Service in this state, warns
them against waiting for gullies
to tell them that their top soil is
washed away. TOO often, he
says "gullying means that erosion
has reached the severe stage on
Maryland fields, because on many
types Of soil found in the state
gullies do not start until sheet
erosion has washed as much as rs
per cent of the top soil off the
fields"
On the project and camp work
areas at Hagerstown, Ellicott City,

Hall, technicians of the Soil Con-
servation Service say that sheet
erosion on the majority of slipping
cultivated fields has already re-
moved from rs per cent to rs per

port that farmers in these areas
who have put soil conservation
measures into effect durine the

crops in many cases.

RETRENCHMENT PROBLEM
tAlaska Weekly)

Secretary MOrgenthau's statement concerning immediate budget bal ancing is unadulterated hooey. It cannot be done and should not be attempted. Five years of such spend ing as has no equal in history can not be written off in one year with out precipitating panic and reYolu- tion. It should be remembered that millions of American citizens who either could not or would not sup port themselves have been taught that they should expect their sup port from government. A right about face reversal of governmental policy, a complete cessation of led eral relief and federal buying for relief projects would be untnink- able. We certainly have the bear by the tail. These people must be eased back into productive capacities and governmental spending redu d as private capital expenditures warrant. In other words - what always should have been the governmental function must again become the governmental function - cooperation with capi- tai and labor with no fayorite play ed except the general good. This may only be accomplished and a start toward eventual budget bal ancing made, through the elimin- ation of the malicious, unscientific, punitive taxation which has been hung around the neck of business and robbed labor of jobs. It has ta- ken five years to build up to the present apparent impasse- it will take more than one year to change the picture-but it is a task 70 which every American should con- tribute his best thought and effort regardless of his political likes or dislikes,

 Federal Alaska Planning
 B. Frank Heintzleman. Regional Forester for the national forests in Alaska, arrived in Washington last week to aid at this end in setting up the comprehensive plan desired by the President for proper develop ment of Alaska resources. MT. Heintzleman is chairman of the AL aska Planning Council and so thor oughly familiar with many of the Territory's resources that Delegate Dimond requested the Department of Agriculture to authorize his present call in Washington to help in form ing this plan.
 Recognizing the need for latitude in the operation of radio transmit ting stations in Alaska the Federal Communications Commission has amended it's rules and regulations pertaining to the Territory
 The amendments are intended to expedite action on applications for station licenses received from Al aska, to authorize transmission of messages under certain conditions not heretofore authorized, to assure emergency radio service to aircraft, and to provide a base on which may be built aeronautical radio chains.
 Some of the amendments were proposed at a series of conferences held in May and June by officials of the Commission and attended by Delegate Dimond and representatives of the War Department, Navy De- partment, Coast Guard, Bureau of Air Commerce, and Department of the Interior. Other amendments re- suited from the meetings held at Juneau in August, at which desig- mated representatives of the Federal Communications Commission and of other Government agencies and de- partments conferred with Territor- ial officials to work out problems of radio particularly needing atten- tion on account of conditions pecul- jar to the Territory or to certain regions in the Territory.

Johnson declared. The present condition of the Government service, starting about 1880 and in- creasing rapidly since 1883, he stat ed, is now part spells and part mer- it. and it is proving unsound in eV- cry respect.
