golden head. What good? A baby bear is
awful cute if you let it do anything it wants
while it's cub. but when it keeps on after
it grows up This Totty has always done
what she liked, taken anyone she wanted -.
Arizona shook herself out of the mood deter
minedy, and went in search of her hat
You lop-eared daughter of a stolen
burro!' she told her lovely reflection in the
glass Haven't you any faith in that Tony
pardner of yours? Hasn't he always been a
square shooter? Just because. before he met
you he used to herd with that tick k-ridden
bunch of sheep that browse in night clubs,
what makes you all lathered up because their
bellwether comes tlnklin around, Get on
down to the store and tell your man you're
sorry
With this noble resolve Arizona descended
from the penthouse apartment she called her
mesa, and stepped out into the bright sun
light. Ordinarily she and Tony walked to-
gether to his fathers department store, where
both OF them headed departments, but today
Arizona was almost glad to be alone. Tony
would have cooled off before they met and SO
would she.
Suddenly Arizona realized that there was
something familiar about man who was
walking just ahead of her. He was an erect old
figure in neat but shabby clothing, and on
his gray head a modified Stetson sat jauntily;
also the heels of his boots were high. But
beyond this, there was a memOry-stirring
quality about him Dan Dareforth, the old
cowboy actor, The OnCe-bright star of
Westerns in which he and his beautiful mare
Braveheart had been the idol of millions of
small boys and heap of hoss-lovln grown

serious Once you were practically ready to
pull double harness with this Totty Chalmers.
Then she went to Europe and you married
me. We've been almighty happy. while she's

would make rattlesnake blush.''
The papers have been terribly unfair to

promptly did the wrong thing He put an arm
around a shoulder of each and grinned hope
fully. Say, this is great he exclaimed, with
forced heartiness. Il want you two to really
know each other. How about little supper at
the Crane Club tonight"
Lovely! It's date" said Totty. but
we really ought to get somebody for Arizona
Can't go without fourth"

Then she turned to Arizona and held out a
fragile hand. so sweet of you to ask me,

Tony, to help me with the pelts for my coat.
Are you good at furs, Arizona2"
NO" said Arizona. Out where come

The Crane Club was roaring nightly that
evening, the clash of its swing band almost
drowned in the din of celebrities irving to
outshout each other. Arizona stately as a god

Onleaving Dareforth, Arizona went directly
to Tony's office, bent on making up. "Never
start ridin' days worth of fences with
fight behind you!' she thought "You might
likely stray too far before sundown"
Then she opened the door and walked in to
find Totty Chalmers sitting on Tony's desk.
The shock of finding the girl there was not
as devastating to Arizona as the instant reali
zation that Totty, in spite of her known
behavior, bore the stamp of class - Tom s

Madame is to obey the instructions
of only one person."
What are you talking about?"
Who knows? These are sad times.
There was putsch in St. Beloise at
dawn ="
I'm ST. Beloise -"
The woman nodded. Remember,
the person whose instructions you
are to take will say to you the word
'chivalry'."
Josephine stared at her. She saw
again the darkness of the St. Beloise -

with his machine pistol dangling from
his hand. She heard his voice again -

Then he got to Domm?" Josephine
asked.
The woman nodded. ''He lives"
Then she took Josephine's dress for
pressing and went out.
Josephine was ready when Captain
Batron came for her, at one. They
drove together to the Preobregan
Palace in staff Daimler.
There was quietness in the old
streets of Domm "a hushed ex-
pectancy that hung in the monday air
like skeins of smoke from fires on the
Dusselhorn.
The policemen of Domm, in their
pale blue coats with the silver buttons
- their black leather kepis, we're gone
from the streets. and in their place at
every other street corner there was
rigid trooper of Party Militia. with
short carbine and dagger. But they
were not like the police with their
benevolent civic casualness; they were
like guards of honor at a catafalque.
immobile, in the presence of eternity
itself.
Then suddenly there was life in the
whole picture - quick, pulsating
American life The staff Daimler
turned slowly at the Tashno Gates to
the Park of Prince Oscar, for the
approach up the long drive to the
Preobregan Palace. Coming out be-
tween the open gates was Lathrop

coat or hat. He heard the car, looked
up and saw Josephine He cupped his

Il am sentenced to DEATH" he said
quietly. "for an excellent reason. l

strong. And that is why you were SEN
fenced to death - to create an inter-
national incident that would kill me-"
He smiled. But l didn't know you

said. That was merely coincidence
- Batron's reaching you in time with
my orders"
why did you send for me?"
II should have sent for you any
way" he said. II wanted to see you

"Why?"
II don't know" he said Slowly.
"One meets so few people that one
does want to meet again"
That is true" she said.
did you feel that you wanted to
meet me again?" he asked her.
She nodded. "Yes Il did"
"Why?"
II don't know" she said.

moment; then almost with a visible
effort he came back from his thoughts.

He smiled. "How young America

"Such as what?"
THAT it is. for instance. democ-

principally because democracies
cannot exist and it was not founded as
one because the men who founded it
knew that. Your George Washington
was gentleman - your Alexander
Hamilton - your Thomas Jefferson.
They didn't write your Declaration of
Independence to mean what it is con-
strued to mean. They believed in fam
lily, inheritance, prestige. They owned
slaves. How could they believe all men
were created equal? They believed all
English gentlemen we're created equal
at home or in English colonies. And
that is all they believed"
TITS little too late now to ask
them!'
'Yes," he nodded gravely, for the
damage is done - as it was done here
by decadent monarchy. But we have
found remedy - quite by accident"
"Are you the remedy?"
Il am," he said. II am an absolute
and a benevolent ruler"
"And yet you are sentenced to die?"
He shrugged. "All rulers are born
under sentence of death. If they have
the strength, they reprieve them
selves. If they don't, they are better
dead"
He was talking no theory, but his

coming annoyed at the way Will was
pushing himself into the picture,
monopolizing Vivian's time when he
wanted to monopolize it himself. Not
that he said anything. 1t was merely
the way he looked.
We were playing a rather silly game
one afternoon, a game In which every
one chased every one else and INDUCED
in bit of roughhouse Will had been
chasing Vivian. He caught her and
picked her up in his arms and was
carrying her back to the starting point,
Vivian squirming and squealing and
otherwise indicating she was having
fine time
Either Toby misunderstood Vivian's
squeals or he could restrain himself
no longer.
"All right, Anderson" he said sud-
denly and sharply. That's enough!
Put her down."
Toby's voice had that imperious
quality that usually made men lump.
We all stopped as though at a signal.
VIII Anderson peered at Toby over
his burden and said, "What?"
Il said that's enough. Put her
down."
Will blinked, then grinned. Run
up a tree, Bullard." He started to
move, but Toby stepped his way.
Put her down, or I'll have to take
hold of YOU"
WILL hesitated, then he set Vivian
on her feet. We all breathed
sigh of relief. Toby said, That's
better"
Wait a minute" Will said mildly.
you said you were going to take hold
OF me. Why don't you do it? That's
the reason put Vivian down, so you'd
have your chance"
Toby was so surprised he couldn't
find words. Then he laughed. All
right, Anderson, don't make a fool Of
yourself" he said indulgently, as
though he were talking to an unruly
child.
Wills cheeks Redeemed. 20. K" he
replied, Il won't. I'll make one of
you. Get ready!"
MoSt OF us who wrote home to our
folks that night had something to
say OF interest. The description of
the actual fight didn't take long, be-
cause Will had hit Toby a dirty crack
on the nose and Toby had aimed at
wills jaw and missed and Will had
hit Toby again and Toby had sat down
and stayed down.
The next day Toby backed out his
Silver Stream and departed before
sunup, and in the days that followed
Will and Vivian had a fine time
together.
Why" we asked Will after We knew.
didn't you tell us you were good with
your f1sts?"
Because" said Will, mildly sur.
prised, no one asked me-"

ndence and fearleSSneSS. During a
conversation he'd let fall in a modest
and almost hesitant way that once
when a boy he had had to trounce
another youngster twice his size to
protect his honor. He hated, he ad-
mitted, to have to take hold of any
one"-hadnt, in fact, done so for
years.
This was reassuring. He couldn't
have hated to take hold of any one'
any more than we desired not to be
taken hold Of
BY and large Toby wasn't bad
egg. He was good conversationalist
and good listener. He became the
recognized leader of our camp, organ
izing hiking expeditions and fishing
parties and camp jollies
Shortly after the New Year the camp
began to fill up. BY January is a
dozen new trailers had pulled in and
established themselves for the win
ter. Among the new arrivals were
the Whitneys-Mother and Father
Whitney and Daughter Vivian. Now
Vivian's name should have been Vision,
she was that attractive. All the un-
married men, and most of the married
ones, began giving her lot of atten-
tion. Presently. however. the admira-
ton OF the swains became less evident,
for Toby Bullard had made it clear
that he was interested in Vivian
whitney. That is. the admiration Of
all but Will Anderson became less
evident.
Up to now Will Anderson hadn't
gained much Prominence in our camp.
He was a young man. quiet, reserved,
congenlal, writer. He fell for
Vivian, and the tragic part of it was
1t didn't bother him bit that Toby
Bullard was interested in her, too.
Will was the type who went about
most OF the time with a rather abb
sorbed expression. This, We agreed.
accounted for his indifference toward
Toby. He hadn't, as far as we could
see, noticed the fact of Toby's bigness
or his self-confldent attitude. Poor
Will
Toby seemed to affect Vivian the
way she affected the rest of us, I
don't mean she was afraid of him or
was tremendously impressed with his
size or might. Rather, he fascinated
her.
WE WE'RE tremendously interested
spectators of the drama. We
wanted to warn Will. yet how could
we? He was rather dumb if he
couldn't catch on himself. Not that
Toby ever threatened or tried to bully
him. Toby wasn't that type. But
sometimes. when we were all sitting
around he'd mention something like:
'Oh, that happened back when was
playing football in college Eh? Yes,
I was fullback. What? All-Americap ?
Well, yes. I was chosen that year"
