in Hollywood movie scene Ellen
Dale had been required to fire a
pistol, but it was small one and
of course harmless. Never before
or since had she even touched one
Of the things. But she thought
best not to go into details now.
"And the horses 2"
IT can ride" she said, which was
true. She had two horses Of her
own in Hollywood. She was &C
customed to the fiat pan-shaped
English saddles, but she had an
idea the Mexican saddle with it's
high pommel and cantle wouldn't
be any harder to cling to. In that
she was right.
While she was making hasty
preparations to start, Felix was
tying a canteen and a parcel Of
food on her saddle, and he person
ally inspected a rife, loaded it and
put it in a saddle holster. Then
he assisted her to strap a pistol
belt and ammunition on.
All the while Ellen was feeling
just a trifie ridiculous: Her mind
was really in a sad state Of con-
fusion. why am I doing all this
foolishness 2" she asked herself.
Bill Baron is nothing to me. He
walked into the trouble. My busi-
ness is to get out Of Mexico as
soon as I can and go home"
She told herself that, but she
knew it was futile reasoning, knew
. she would not listen to her own
counsel. She had said she wasn't
afraid, but she knew she really
was very much so.
The Yaqui men were each given
a horse and provisions also.. When
the party was all set to go, Don
Julio caused them to halt for a
brief moment while he said q
prayer. News Of the plan had in
terested everybody about the
ranchhouse, so that nearly 20 ser
wants and others were bowed there.
The three were just starting
when they were again interrupted,
however.
Sonora Montoya came hasten
ing out Of the house. She herself
carried rifle, and canteen. Her
kindly old face was set with a
strange, strained expression. She
spoke crisply to her son Felix, as
if in command, then to a cowboy
who quickly dismounted and
turned his horse over to her. A
stir and murmuring went through
the assembly of Mexicans.
my mawther," began Felix, ad-
dressing Ellen, "she say American
woman is no Drawer than Mexican,
and she will go with you,- talk for
you, help you all she can"
| There were no more words.
Silently the group watched the
strange cavalcade ride away-two
savages, leading a woman and
girl. Don Julio stared, transfixed.

and it was plain that hatred for
Felix shone in their eyes.
"Teu them you translate for me,
that you speak for me alone"
Ellen commanded. "Tell them
plan to go into their village and
get the white girl and man. Ask
them where I must go, whom I
must see."
The conversation that followed
was a rather long one. Felix had
some difficulty convincing the pris-
oners of Ellen's plan.
'They say you can never find
the village"
"Oh!" the American girl looked
at the men, who stood glued to
their bars "Tell them-ask them
If they will go with me, show me
the way? Be my interpreters and
guides 2"
Felix glared at her.
1T is impossible!" he declared.
''You, a." ~
Tell them! Do as say. It is
my business. You can think of
nothing better, no other way to
rescue your sister and my friend!
Tell them, at once!"
Felix translated again, and this
time the; conversation was longer.
But IN the, end he had made an
amazing deal,
They say, in return for their
freedom, they will escort you right
to the village chief and see that
Pamela and Senior Baron go free!"

Ellen. 'Tell them. it's a bargain.
and I win pay them well also.
Tell them-here, give them these"
She removed two rings which she
wore and extended the bright
trinkets, which were Of consider
able value, to the Yaqui men.
She. couldn't have clinched the
deal better, She stayed near the
window while Felix FASTENED to in
form his parents, and to get the
key to set the prisoners free. The
Yaauis stared at her with the
same dog-like gratitude in their
eyes that they had shown when
she brought them food and water.

CHAPTER 10

ELLEN DID not answer i'm
mediately when Felix asked his
question.
How could she admit or deny
that she loved Bill Baron, when
she herself did not know? The
man was virtually a stranger to
her, an aviator whom she had
hired in an impulsive moment a
few days ago. True. he had saved
her life in rather spectacular fash
ion, and he had a drawing charm
Of manner. But love? That was
another matter!
Naturally I do not wish harm
to come to him." Ellen replied,
seriously. She did not include
Pamela in that wish, but the on1is-
sion was an unconscious one. HE
Ia an American. He is in danger
and I feel an obligation to him."
Then you do not love him ?"
Felix suddenly jabbed the ques-
ton. His intent manner surprised
her. She looked into his eyes, and
gave no answer for a long mo-
ment.
II did not say that" she almost
whispered it, finally.
Don Julio had stood looking at
the American girl, incredulous.
Now he began stormi1g that it
was inconceivable for a mere girl
to try to rescue Bill Baron and
Pamela.
It was inconceivable, and yet the
Idea was not without it's possibili-
ties. Don Julio had the political
influence necessary to get a de-
tachment of soldiers and could
himself have armed several men;
but all of these would be wasted
In the defiant crags and canyons
where the Yaqui Indians lived.
eff we send in men, some will
surely lose their lives" Felix re-
minded his father. Pamela and
Senior Baron would likely be first

1T Is So" the mother added.
When Felix had translated for
Ellen, she agreed. "And If you
or your father went in alone, you
would simply be killed or held cap

any other Mexican man. But L
am stranger to them. An Amer
lean. Do they hate Americans 2"
NO." admitted Felix. ''In fact
they look to America as escape.
There have two Yaqui villages In

Phoenix, anawther near Tucson.
They are neutrality-suspicious., you
say-they have no country. They
have been run out Of Mexico."

"And the United States does not

But Don Julio interrupted with
an important thought. How would
Ellen communicate with the
Indians? She spoke no more than
a dozen words Of Spanish which
she had learned since her arrival
in Mexico, and knew nothing of
the idiom or dialect Of the Yaouis.
That stumped them, evoked
much discussion in which tEllen
took no part. She was doing some
rapid thinking. Suddenly she
grabbed Felix Montoya by the
arm. -

TUNE CLAYWORTH is reported to
have recently purchased a new
one-piece dress of lightweight navy
blue woolen with a combination neck
band and sash of red, white and blue
knit. Shoulder width is accentuated
by epaulets of the dress material. A
navy blue felt hat, bag and pumps of
black patent leather complete the out
fit.
Odd fastenings for sweaters and
jackets are among the new spring
fads originating in Hollywood. Giant
hooks and eyes take the place of

buttons that resemble French stamps

antelope with accessories in darker

Manners
of the
Moment

THERE'S one thing women who 60
to garden club meetings should
learn. That is, to keep themselves
out of the lecture
At the last garden club meeting
attended the two women on my right
were carrying on such a prolonged
argument about whether the lecturer
had pronounced "forsythia" correctly
or not that I missed all the important
hints as to how to treat the plant. It's
not that I have forsythia But I
just thought some day I might. And
anyhow. went to hear the lecture,
not the ladies.
Probably the lecturer should keep
his ears open for these underground
discussions that 60 on and drag them
out into the open. He could say,
What was that comment I heard in
the back of the rooms?" Then, at
least, only one person would be talking
at time, and you wouldn't have to
divide your attention.
OF course, even worse than the
women beside you is the woman who
leans over to you and says, How do
you pronounce forsythia?" Then, if
you really wanted to hear the lecture,
you are sunk. You have to gag her
before you can 60 on listening.
But why listen to a lecture at all?
Why not stay home and read a book?
