The thing appalled, her. She
who had once known poverty in
the American sense, nevertheless
had never actually gone hungry
much less suffered the keener
quicker pangs of thirst. An inf
mite pity for these men surged
within her; and an anger at the
Mexicans who imprisoned them.
And yet she realized that the
absence of Pamela had disrupted
the Montoyas' routine too. Don
Julio and Felix must simply have
forgotten such things as pris-
oners. But in this arid dry south
west thirst can become an acute
suffering in relatively few hours.
Ellen brought more water to
the men, and followed it with food.
When they had been filed, they
stared at her like worshipful dogs,
she thought. It was hard to real
ize that such uncouth creatures
were men, and yet she could tell
they were normally strong of body,
would look no worse than any
other savages if they could but be
cleaned.
"It is all right" she said to
them gently, hoping at least that
her tone would carry bit of COM
fort.
"Muchas gracias, muchas gra-
cias," they repeated again and
again. A Mexican servant, who
had come to stare, told Ellen that
it meant many thanks.
The American girl resolved to
see that the prisoners had food and
water while she was there, at least.
She thought of sending at once
for help from the authorities. In
America the first impulse always
is to "call the police.
But in Mexico, on a cattle ranch
miles from any village or town,
most details of law and human
conduct are in the rancher's hands,
and Don Julio Montoya had a more
commanding situa tion. Ellen
thought it best to let him alone.
He had stormed at her once, sus-
pecting her with having something
to do with Panola's disappearance.
She would keep to herself-and
wait.
This immediate period of wait
ing, however, was very short.
Felix and the three Indian trail
ers were back within a few hours,
their horses spent and sweating.
"Was no trouble finding the
TRAIL" Felix explained to Ellen,
after he had reported to his father
and the others. "They ride to the
mountains. First they race, then
they walk fast. The tracks were
plain.

CHAPTER. Q

WHEN ELLEN DALE saw Fe-
ix and the three Indian trailers
leave the Montoya home to look
for tracks of the missing Bill and
Pamela, she was more fearful than
ever.
tits like-like a western movie, "
she half whispered, to herself.
Except it's real"
1t was real, very real.
These three Indians, she learned,
were not Yaquis like those held
captive in the Montoya storehouse.
These trailers were peaceful Papa
COS, from a tribe of agricultural
lists who lived for the most part on
q reservation to the northward, in
Arizona. Sometimes they left the
reservation to work as cow hands.
They could ride well. They had
fine endurance. They came in
handy, too, in such emergencies as
this. And they hated the Yaquis
no less than the MeXicans did.
"Why are Mexicans enemies of
the Yaquis, Don Julio?" Ellen
asked her host. why do they
fight each other?"
He could not tell her, could not
make it clear that the two races
were traditional enemies. North
ern Sonora had been settled slow
ly. The Yaquis had undoubtedly
been mistreated many times, and
political promises had not been
kept. All that remained was to
fight back, to steal and kill when
they had to, or when they wanted
to for revenge. The Yaquis would
have been more. peaceful, but un-
scrupulous local officers had too
often victimized them, in spite of
the genuine attempts at friendship
by the Mexican central govern
ment. The Yaquis had retreated
to the Businesses of their hills,
where no army could rout them
out without unreasonable expense.
Ellen could understand only
part Of Don Julio's labored ex-
PLANTATION, but it was enough to
increase her apprehension for Bill
and Pamela. She realized that
their danger was at least potential
ly great.
IT could show Felix where they
disappeared" she suddenly told
Don Julio. 81 mean, where they
were last seen. II watched them
from the dining room window"
That was some help. It at least
enabled the Indian trailers to pick
up the horses tracks without de-
lay. Ellen was glad to be of that
much help anyway.
She came back to the ranch
house and, for want of something
better to do, wandered to the
storehouse where the Yaqui pris-
oners were still behind bars.
They came to the window at
once. She was startled to hear
them gesticulate and moan.
The white girl drew back invol-
UNFAIRLY, but she watched them,
studying their strange actions and
noises.
"Can you speak no English? ?"
she addressed them. English 2"
There was no spoken answer,
yet it was obvious that the two
men were pleading for something.
Their eyes held it; she watched,
fascinated. Then all at once the
solution struck her.
1T is food they want" she half
whispered, alarmed. "Or water!
I'll bet it is water!"
She went quickly to the main
house and returned with q cup of
water When she held it to the
bars one man grasped it frantical-
~ and drank. She brought more

$4,000 Loyalists
Forced To Fall

HENDAYE, French Spanish
Frontier, June 1s. (UP)-Twen-
ty-five thousand loyalist troops,
fighting to save Valencia province,
and within Smelling distance OF
that former provisional capital,
were thrust back today at four
points, according to nationalist re-
ports.
Some of the most violent fight
ing of the war took place within
a period of eight hours today with
the tide of battle swinging back
and forth around Villareal, a vii
lage about five miles south OF
Castellon De La Plana.
Both sides claimed occupation
of Villareal. The government said
Yesterday that the loyalists, per-
sonally directed by Commander
in-Chief Jose Miaja, stormed into
the village and drove the national
lists back across the Mijares river.
Last night, the loyalists said they
still held the village, but that vio-
lent fighting was in progress on
it's outskirts.
Early today nationalist dis
patches said that the loyalists had
been forced back, that they lost
Villareal and were retreatlng
about two miles to the south.

US. TO REJECT
REPUTATION
OF war DEBT
Nazi Stand on Behalf Of
Austria Not To Be
Countenanced

WASHINGTON, June Is. CUP
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
yesterday revealed he had advised
Germany that attempts to repu-
diate Austria'S war debts and pri-
vate loans VII not be countenanc-
ed by this government.
The disclosure. significantly,
was made only a few hours after
Reich Economics Minister Walter
Funk, in a speech at Bremen for
mally repudiated German obliga-
tons to shoulder Austria's debts,
despite the fact the little republic
has been absorbed in "the greater
Germany" and berated the Unit
ed States as the "center of dis
turbances" in world economic at
fairs.
At the time of Germany
blocdless conquest of Austria in
March, Austria owed the United
States $5O,OOO,0O0 of which $24,-
055,70S represented postwar ad-
vances for food supplies. The re-
mainder represents private loans,
bonds and similar obligations.
On April 6, shortly after the
"Anschluss," Hull notified the
Reich government that the United
States would expect Germany to
assume Austria's obligations but
Berlin did not reply. Today Hull
disclosed that a sharp note was
delivered to the Berlin foreign Of
fee on June 9 by American am
bassador Hugh R. Wilson, reiter-
ating the American position and
expressing hope that Germany
may yet undertake the payments
incumbent on it, both under in
ternational law and under equi-
ty."
The note continued:
ait is believed that the weight
of authority clearly supports the
general doctrine of international
law founded upon obvious prin-
ciples of justice that in case of
absorption of state, the sub
stituted sovereign assumes the
debts and obligations of the alb
sorbed state and takes the bur-
dens with the benefits.
"a few exceptions to this gen.
eral proposition have some times
been asserted, but these excep-
tions appear to find no application
in the circumstances in the in
slant case. Both the 1880 loan
(private loan) and the relief
loans 1920 were made in time
of peace, for constructive works
and the relief of human suffer
ing.
EThere appears no reason why
