 "Me?" Stuart breathed the word, incredulouS.
 She nodded, not looking at him. q don't believe it, Stuart. I said they do. You know how - queer - they are. They mean all right. They're suspicious and they can't help it.
 T told papa and Silas and mo- ther too that you wouldn't have done anything like that. But they think you and Paul met by accident up in the mountain that day and had fight or something and you killed him or did something to him, and then almost lost your own life when your horse got killed"
 But, Carolee-"
 q know. It doesn't sound Sensi- ble. But they are clannish. Silas is mean. He'll shoot to kill, Stu art. And I don't want you - or anybody - ito be hurt. I'd give anything I have if we were out of this mountain mess. I almost be- lieve the Superstition curse of the god is real"
 She was crying just little, and Stuart reached to pat her shoulder gently. He longed, then, to take her in his arms. He wanted to defend her, shield her from every unhappiness. But he sensed that this was no time to tell her so. Besides, the sherifTS posse had halted a few hundred yards up and turned to look at them, wait ing. Stuart went on back down the trail.
 Up at the shack old man Colter was stolidly waiting and chewing tobacco, standing with his rifle at his elbow.
 "The's justice to be done, sheriff, " he said, f1atly. after the prellminar- ies. This ain't like Paul. He's hurt. And If he's been stopped up there, he's dead by now"
 What do you mean by justice to be done?" Sheriff Watson looked in- tently at him,
 T aint sayin', yet. But there's plenty to be done. I'm glad you brought a dog It's wild up there, and a man cain't rightly do no tracking most of the time. Me and Silas here hev done all we could"
 They saddled their horses quick ly, tied on water and food and am munition. The quantity of arms and ammunition, in fact, caused the sheriff to comment.
 Were not likely to have no battle, I reckon, MT. Golfer. The boys here each got pistols, and I got a rifle here in saddle holster. Carrying them big rifles of your'll get wearisome."
 Neither the Colter father nor son made any reply to that, but each still held rifle when they mounted. Their eyes were red, from sleepless riding and search ing already The sheriff concluded it was best to let them alone. He liked harmony in any party where he rode.

A deceitful little problem of req moning now confronts us. We say deceitful because the answer seems ko be what 1t isn't and isn't what At seems to be.
 A history company sponsored contest in which a group of lovely poung ladies were to draw expensive miIk stockings from a barrel and If fhey succeeded in matching a pair they would be awarded a prize. Twenty pairs of black silk stockings and ten pairs of new blue shade were placed in the barrel. Each young lady could draw as many Stockings, one by one as she wished but the first prize was, to be given 10 the one who matched a pair in the fewest draws. Remember, they were blindfolded. What is the low Ct number that would assure a mltched pair?

 She watched them for nearly a mile. They made a picturesque cavalcade, their horses straining over steep climbs, up and up, twisting, circling, turning, getting smaller and smaller as the vast ness of the mountain absorbed them.
 Finally they moved single file over silhouetted skyline and were gone.

In a move evidently aimed at

launched a powerful counter-of-

Mrs. Hughes

Efforts of Nine. Hirosi Saito,
wife of the Japanese Ambassador,
to convey her regrets for the
Panay bombing to Mrs. James

today.
Mrs. Hughes, a Washington girl,

China several weeks ago.
Following the sinking of the
gunboat by japanese bombers and
the wounding of Commander
Hughes, Nine. Saito, whose hus-
band made a formal apology to
the State Department, tried sew

Mrs. Hughes and express her own
regrets.
Mrs. Hughes was mot at home

called, it was understood, and left
this week for Florida to rest from
the strain of the injury to her
husband and her own experiences
in escaping from the war zone in
China.

AMERICANS INDIGNANT
Indignation among Americans

word spread among them Of the

American ire has been inflamed
here during the past few days by
circumstances surrounding the
Panay incident and what are re-

by japanese army officers to
evade and "becloud" the issue Of
whether the Panay actually was
