WOLFE SHOOTS
TO FIRST PLACE.
AT RECREATION. .

In probably a season of unprece
dented bowling, Perde Wolfe, the
suburban star, today held the
leadership of the Recreation
League, zooming his average over
the 1913 mark when he shot 402
last night to feature Allied Roof
ing's twoto-one win from Terry's
Appliance.
Leader of the Prince Georges
County and District leagues,
Wolfe also is eyeing the champion
ship of the Columbia Heights
League. He is the runner-up to
Bill Krauss in the latter loop.
However, the high weekly
shooter was Abe Beavers, who
paced Bregman's Wildcats 2-1
victory over Blaydes Contracting
with a sparkling 432. The win
gave the Wildcats a second'place
tie with the Terrys.
University Shop assumed the
leadership when Dave Groth's 395
led a 2-1 verdict over Cooke
Press. Despite Brad Mandley's
378, Marvin's Credit took the odd
game skirmish from Marlboro
Hotel. Frank Donaldson, with 391,
and Perce Elicit, with 383, were
the stars in Blanken'S Restaurant

CHAPTER IA

BECAUSE it was Ellen Dale
who had effected the rescue of
their daughter, the Montoyas
needed her advice and agreed to
come on back down the mountain
with their armed men. Ellen had
been vehement about it, declaring
ian agreement must be kept even
with savage Indians. When his
temper had cooled, Don Julio real
he'd the truth of that and told her
so. And yet-traditional hatred is
strong!
All of them were anxious only
for food and rest when they
eventually returned safe to the
ranch home. But when the next
dawn came, Ellen and Bill made
immediate preparations for leaving
Mexico. Their departure having
been delayed by wholly unex-
pected and dangerous incident
they meant now to get back to the
United States as soon as possible
But Felix Montoya sought to hole
them.

Felix had indeed come with "the

her, and Ellen was amazed at the
beauty she found within.
"Love-ly!" exclaimed she, anG

to drink in their fragrance. 'Wher-

She buried her face in their fragrance.

It was hard indeed to decline an
invitation so beautifully proffered
Ellen was hard put to find gra-
cious way of saying no, especially
when Don Julio and his wife came
in to add their pressure. With the
kidnapping adventure safely ended
the Montoyas had quickly regained
their charm, and Ellen forgave
them for every memory she had of
their suspicious and shortness
when Pamela was away. After all,
Pamela was an only daughter and
sister; they could not be blamed
But the Montoyas seemed all the
more determined to make up for
those suspicious Of Ellen now, and
to show their gratitude.
She finally escaped by pleading
that an extremely pressing bust
ness engagement in California de-
manded her immediate return, and
by promising to visit the Montoya
rancho again within the ensuing
go days. When she eventually was
alone with Bill for a moment
again, she was holding her flowers
and beaming.
Gee, Bill, saying goodby here is
major undertakings"
Yeah, sure. Where'd you pick

Bill, remembering Ellen's inter
est in a southwestern ranch home
queried the Mexican chauffeur as
they rode along, speaking Spanish
He questioned the man about the
Montoyas, too; and the Yaquis, and
everything else pertaining to their
adventure.
"What are you two saying %
Ellen finally asked, curiously.
I'm asking him questions %
