Z, bothered to ride back home, save
that Jerry would force her to.
Most Of the men had ridden
away from the ranch on a search
of their own, when Jerry and Lo-
rena and Midnight returned. But
George and Sally Brazee, Jasper
| Peters and four or five others
greeted them. Normal work on the
Phantom ranch had come to a
standstill since early yesterday.
The cowboys who by routine
worked out on the range had just
quietly begun to hang around
home, sensing that some sort of
grave emergency was impending.
The hour was almost noon now, and
even Mrs. Brazee and the servants
had stopped working. AS people do
at a wake, everybody just stood
around staring and saying little,
and doing nothing because they
couldn't decide what to do.
When Uncle George had hugged
fher and let her cry on his big
chest, Lorena told them what she
knew.

he signaled back. I knew he had

as mine."
weren't you afraid Of being

"By Escobar's men?"
IT had a pistol. And I was pre-
tpared to send my signals and run
fast and hide if they created an
alarm below. I watched carefully
with glasses. I could see everything
Shot did.
"Of course expected to come
for help here. But I realized it was
too far, and was already tired out
and scared. So I got to thinking.
Maybe, I said, could find way to
help Shot escape since he was free.
I mean he wasn't tied or anything,
but was being made to work. de-
cided the best way was to distract
the Mexicans' attention, and finally
I decided on way to do it.

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

LCRENA did not resist when
Jerry Dale kissed her several times
there on the wild mountain slope.
She was too tired to notice much
what he was doing, too utterly
weary and heart broken. Having
been found by him, she suffered a
nervous letdown there for a half
hour or so and any sort Of comfort
ing was a help.
He had practically told her that
Shot Rogers was dead and she had
everv reason to believe it. For that
matter, so did he; more than ever
when he finally heard her story In
full.
First, though, he just sat there
with his strong arm around her,
holding her close while she isobbed
in full abandon to. her tears. The
words she tried to say were smoth-
cred with her crying. When the
hardest of the crying was over,
Jerry lifted her gently c11to his
saddle and asked her If she felt
strong enough to stay on. She only
nodded, scarcely seeing him 1T all.

choked in the grip Of emotions

lad.
" @"Oh iawdy, Miss Lorena" Mid
night began crying, too, and turned
to ride beside her back home. But
Jerry made him give up his horse
and would have had the boy walk

up behind her. The little fellow told

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL
Daily DlspatcSl bureau,
Tn fhe. sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. 18.-No story is
too fantastic to gain circulation
among those VINO make politics, or
the observation thereof, their pusl-
ness. =
With this advance warning here's
yarn that is going the :ounds.
Active financial support for the
fight against North Cardinals sales
tax is being withheld in some quar-
ters which are earnest and "mcere
in their opposition to the tax, be-
cause, it is alleged, these sources
want to keep the issue alive or
DR.. Ralph w. McDorald to use in
a 1914 campaign :or governor.
The reasoning is, according to
the tellers of the tale, that ihey
want Mcdonald more than they
want .epeal of the sales tax.
There is accumulating evidence
that Colonel Edgar Balm and his
beer "vigilantes" are not asleep at
the switch.
At least release sorm the
brewers and N. c. Beer DGtribu-
tors Committee" claims CD that
the Wayne county board Of COM
missioners revoked the licenses of
four beer dealers for improper con-
duct of their establishments; (2)
that the license of a former Will
mington beer retailer was also re-
voked last week after Colonel
Balm had called attention 10 the
licensees place, and (3) that a
Mecklenburg beer retailer surren-.
dered her license following Colonel
Bain's petition to the county COM
missioners that it be revoked FOR
the illegal sale of whisky.
"The beer industry does not want
to be associated with places operat-
ing in opposition to law and or.
der'', the release quotes Colonel
Balm.
1t was not stated whether the
victims were practicing up to shoot
at Herr Hitler, but August's vital
statistics from the State Board of
Health show eight deaths from
accidental discharge of firearms,
against only three in August, 1888.
Suicides, incidentally, jumped
from % to 20, but homicides de-
clined from "a in August, 1888, to
25 last month.
It's quite the fashion nowadays
to form organizations and associa-
tions on the slightest, or 40, pro-
vocation. Latest to come to this
bureaus attention is plan for big
meeting of the 586 persons who
have graduated from Raleigh's WPA
safe driving schools since they were
started about year ago. !:
Certainly nobody can find fault,
however, with anything that tends
to cut the slaughter statistics of
deaths and injuries in highway acci-
dents.
Incidentally, the board of health
and the highway safety division are
half dozen deaths apart on their
list of August fatalities, the former
listing 88 dead from "automooile
accidents, primary, while the lat
ter's figure count only 80.
Divergence is explained ON the
difference in dates of reporting
the citizenship of deceased persons
and the site of accident. Thus the
health department reports only
deaths of North Carolina sresi-
dents", but it would also include
those who died in North Carolina
from accidents occurring in other
states. In August, for example, the
board lists four who were fatally
injured in South Carolina, but who
were brought to North Carolina
hospitals where they later died.

Ghost story: This was told me by

old. Here it is, just as she told II

my cousin, who was a year young
er than 1 was, had pneumonia. 1t
was my turn to stay with her that
night, but was delayed, and it was
nearly one o'clock when got there
to find that she had just died. The
last thing she said was my name.
She was calling me. About month
later I was back at my mothers,
spending the night. Mother and faith

l would have felt that l had had a

bed. L looked up there was my cousin,
standing beside the bed on the side
Opposite me.
"She stood there, her shoulders
stiff and her carriage rigid, just look
ing at me. The things noticed most
were her eyes they were SO
shining, so unreal And she
never b1inked. She just stood there
and looked at me and smiled. I had
time to look at her closely >. at her
hair parted on the side, at the ia
miliar little broken place on her
front tooth, at her white dress
the one in which she was buried :.
and even her stockings, which were
dark shade. I think it must have
been fifteen minutes before 1 could
take my eyes off of her. Then
snatched the cover over my head and
screamed. Mother and father came
running upstairs and they had to
carry me downstairs. I couldn't walk.

wouldn't let either one of them go

up with me. couldn't make myself
