err High School.
During the last few weeks my family
has discovered most quaint and
interesting character. This unique
individual is a white rooster with 9
very red comb.
They have named him Angel, be-
cause he is white and has large wings.
He Is quite tame, but dislikes intensely
to be moved from the spot which he
has chosen as a perch. They have
found 1t necessary TO move him quite
often. as he is very fond Of automobiles.
II he Is not carefully watched, he
perches upon any automobile that
happens to be near. On several oc-
casions, he has perched unnoticed on
the bumper OF car, while the ma
chine was driven away. He has never
ridden very far in this manner, how
ever.
Angel dislikes corn, but he has taken
several vicious tWeaks at the writer's
hand.
The present obsession OF this odd
fowl is the guardianship OF flock Of
young chicks. Angel watches with a
careful and loving eye. while his
protegeS scatter about in the grass.
Denied an auto, Angel is content to
roost at night in q garage.

GERMANS A DAY
Political Refugees Are
Accepted Under Terms
of New Policy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
German political refugees are COM
Ing into the United States at the rate
of about 100 day under the Roose-
velt-Hull policy of aiding emigres.
Dispatches reaching here say the
American Embassy in Berlin is not
accepting any more applications from
German including former Austrian)
Jews. and has enough on hand to fill
available immigration quotas for prac-
tically two years.
The first groups of refugees are now
reaching American shores They are
arriving almost penniless, but are be-
ing received by Jewish charitable Or
ganiZations and Jewish families.
The stipulation in the immigration
law that Immigrants cannot enter
America if they are likely to become
public charges is being met, officials
said. by assurances that the Jewish
associations and families will keep
the refugees from being thrown upon
the public
Support Is Promised

being sent in large numbers by Jewish
families, particularly in the East. to
the American Embassy in Berlin and
the consulate-general in Vienna.
Previously affidavits of support came
from relatives. Now they come from
persons and families capable of sup
porting an unknown person for an
unlimited time
The United States Government is
forced by law to limit the number of
German Jews it admits to an annual
quota of 27.370. The law states that
not more than 10 per cent of the total
can be admitted in any one month.
So far the 10 per cent is benig filled.
The Permanent Committee set up in
London under the Hull proposal for
aiding refugees is trying to persuade
the German government to let refu-
gees take more of their worldly goods
with them
Hard to Get Money Out.
At present German Jews leaving
Germany may take only per cent
OF their wealth, and some say it is
almost impossible to take even this.
Negotiators hope to induce Germany
TO let them take up to so per cent,
although various taxes would reduce
this materially.
The Permanent Committee in Lon
don is trying to induce other nations
to follow Americas example OF ad-
mltting the refugees.
The response so far has been ncne
too enthusiastic. Some nations which
have comparatively large immigration
quotas with regard to Germans also
have requirements that up to 80 per
cent of the immigrants must be agri-
cultural workers. This serves to lule
out most Jews. Less than 10 per cent
of the German Jews, and only 4 per
cent of the Austrian Jews, are said to
be farm workers.

smiling. He held her that way for
perhaps half minute, then she
turned her head and kissed him.
They were swinging down the
long grade into Christian City.
The brakes we're wailing in a wild
scream as the car thundered into
the straight stretch headed for the
bumper at the end Of the station
platform. 1t could not be stopped,
and POGO knew it.
Smiling, Kate did as she was bid.
This will hurt" he said quietly,
taking her hand. "The station plat
forms clear and level with US.
Jump when I tell you." He looked
at her. "Afraid?"
mot with you," Kate answered
quietly, and then they swung be-
side the station.
POGO waited second, then said
"Jump!"
They jumped at the same time,
POGO slipping his hand around her
waist.
THINKS THEY'RE DEAD
When they landed POGO hugged
her to him, felt himself lose his
balance and then the crash, q
breath driving, thudding, skidding,
burning crash, just as the splitting
timbers of the bumper doomed in
a savage splintering Of wood.
He lay there a minute, fighting
for breath, feeling Kate's sucking
gasps for air. Then he whispered
Are you all right?"
She nodded her head and held
him close, just as the first man on
the scene shouted MY God, they're
dead!"
Van was in the lead, Cooper be-
hind him, posseman behind him.
In the middle of the street, on
its side, great scar torn in the
ground, lay the coach. Towns.

Dead" Van said bleak1y, and
spurred his horse.
The crowd made way for them
and Van walked up to the wreck,
Cooper by his side. There stood
POGO st. Vrain, girl beside him:
a man, Kate's father, beside her.
Poco's shirt was ripped almost off
and a great bloody veal covered
one arm. He grinned at Van, took
his guns out and rendered them
to him.
"Your COLDS inside the car, law

POGO said, Hello, darling"
Kate said nothing, only moaned.
I'm a killer, Kate" POGO said
quietly. 1--WE come to show you
I'm going to kill Joker here-but
it will be the last time ever draw
gun. You dion't think it was
ever necessary. Do you now?"
"Yes," Kate said huskily.
POGO smiled a little, his thin
face somber and satanic.
He lunged away from the wall
now, and caught his balance
against the wild sway Of the car
with widespread feet. He had
seen the gold at Cardowan's feet,
without even looking at it.
Joker" he began quietly, Il
told you 1 woulo't go out of my
way to hunt you. I didn't. 1t
wasn't for you I came here. It
was for her. Remember"
Cardowan opened his mouth to
speak and no words came.
But told you if you ever came
within gunShot, I'd kill you" He
paused. "Any time, Joker. This
is pay day-the last one" POGO
murmured.
CHAPTER XIII
POGO stood utterly relaxed,
hands at his sides, swaying a little
against the lurching car, a cold
and terrible smile on his face.
For a moment Cardowan did
not move, and then some last rem
nant of bravery tagged him into
action.
His hands dropped from the
wheel to his side. There was five
feet between them, five feet that
spelled eternity for one of them.
He said II always claimed POGO
st. Vrain was bogus. I'll prove it. )"
Sure" POGO drawled gently. He
waited.
Kate watched them both. 1t
was Cardowan who first betrayed
a movement by the taut muscles
in his throat. They flickered a
little, and then Kate's eyes
switched to POGO.
With that swift, rocking ease
that was invisible his hands, wrists

time to identify their outline, then
