tended to both during their first
visit to Washington and to the
United States.
OF a retiring nature, DR.. van Me
rop is reluctant to talk about herself
but said she received her doctors
degree in political science from the
University Of Amsterdam in 1895.
One Of large family Of children,
DR.. van Nierop inherited her interest
In politics from her father, who be-
fore his death was q member OF
the first chamber Of the Neither
lands House Of Parliament, the
legislative branch of the government
corresponding to the United States
Senate.
In the Who's Who" of the Neither

those who have contributed to the
scientific writings of her country.
Il have written no books she de-
clares modestly, but have written
numbers of articles for magazines
ana newspapers.
Many Groups at Work
To Improve Conditions.
Asked about womens clubs in the
Netherlands, DR.. van Nierop said
there are many groups who work
in the interest of business and pro-
fessional women and to improve
conditions for women generally.
"All women who work in Holland" /"
DR.. Van Nierop said, "join some
association of women, whether
they be university women, trained
nurses, teachers or housewives I"
These associations, she explained,
have much the same programs as
American clubs and freely express
their opinion in national and mu-
nicipal questions.
All the women's associations OF
Holland, the doctor added, are mem
bers of the National Council Of
Women.
In Amsterdam and in The Hague
are two large clubhouses, patronized
by members Of the women's branches
of the national political parties
where members conduct business
meetings or discuss matters of i'm
portance "over the teacups" as do
the women of America, she ex-
planned.
Reading clubs are also popular,
continued DR.. van Nierop, who for
many years served as q member Of
the board Of reading club in Am
sterdam. BY purchasing and cata-
loguing books desired by members
these clubs aid special studies and
facilitate reference work for writer's

Although the university women
Of Holland have long enjoyed an
international reputation for their

1t was interesting to hear that a
Dutch woman, Prof. j. Westerdijk,
an instructor at both the University
of Amsterdam and at the University
of Utrecht, is considered one OF
the worlds foremost botanists, and
consultations are requested of her
from every country In Europe.

Rusty obeyed. He knew that the
killer was going to unhitch and saddle
wagon horse. And he was going to
cover his tracks; Rusty could see that
by the blood in his eyes.
Rusty did not wait to think it over.
He had a few seconds to live and that
was not time enough for thinking. The
instant the wagon rocked to a stop, he
leaped for the sage. slid the full length
of his bony body behind red rock.
The Chulo jumped to the wagon
tongue and then to the ground. Dust
and din whirled about his hulking
figure. Sheep were everywhere, con-
verging on the wagon from all sides,
for old Homer did his job we'll He had
dogged them up to the wagon as the
old remembered call commanded him.
If he had had his sight he would have
stopped, but he was like blind man
hurting useless blows in the dark. The
fact is, he did his job too we'll!
The Chulo tried to unharness one
of the plugs while wethers and ewes
and gummers pressed up against him
on all sides. He choked with dust.
cropping for the traces. He yelled and
kicked and fayed his arms in a tanglc
of harness. Then he saw the dog.
Homer was good way off on the
outskirts of the band, but the Chulo
could see him plunging in circle
through the sage. For one brief mo-
ment the renegade stared fascinated.
In the heavy mist the dog seemed
much larger and suawnier than he
really was And he was acting not like
a natural dog but as Rusty had said,
like something possessed He went
stiffly, crashing through a ball of
tumbleweed instead of circling it. His
movements we're directed, it would
seem. not by his own volition but by
some unnatural force. Sheep fled him
as if fleeing a wolf They could not
understand shepherd like this. Even
they. perhaps, knew that this dog did
not work according to natural ways.

in his way. The Chulo saw him COM
ing for him, but he did not come
straight. He miscalculated the angle
somehow, as drunk man will reach
for a glass and miss it. But he was
coming. And the Chulo fumbled for
his gun and lifted it and emptied it
into the mist.
But the dog was down low behind
the stampeding sheep now. Sheep fell
with the frantic blast of fire, but the
dog came on unscathed.
He came because he heard his mas
ter, Rusty, calling to him. Rusty had
leaped up from behind his rock as soon
as the breeds gun was emptied. And
before the nerve-shattercd man could
reload, Rusty jumped him.
Three riders loomed out of the mist.
Martha Shawn had found her father,
but they had not found Jeff Pine. Old
Tuck Shawn called out as they
roweled their horses through the scat
tering sheep, Hi, Rusty"
Rusty Torvester looked out of the
door. "Step up, Tuck. If you're gun
ming for Jeff Pine you're too late. This
breed here had the edge on you and
won all bets"
Tuck Shawn stepped on the wagon
tongue and looked in. He saw the
saddle-colored half-breed stretched on
the floor boards, bound with the
twitches Rusty used as tourniquets.
''He beefed Jeff Pine and his dog up
on the bench. Must've heard some
thing about that stud game of yours"
Tuck Shawn looked down at the
prisoner without much animosity. Il
gave him job as wool tramper in my
crew" he said "He sat in on the game
with me and Pine"
Then what he's got in his jeans,
Tuck. as near as l can figure belongs
to you" Rusty let Tuck Shawn 60
through the breeds pockets and
turned to the door.

flowers and struck Martha's mouth

Rusty expected lead in his back
right then. But the breed was more
obsessed with this daft talk about d
resurrected dog, a dog which like

acting by reflexes, plunging along
blindly, running in the old sheep

such gauzy idea as that!
III cut down on him right next
time. When he comes up to me, I'll
get him in the heart - instead of in
the back"
Rusty heard him painting after his
speech. For long time the Chulo
gasped at the close air. the whiffs of
liniment and iodine and tar. You're
locoed. I'm locoed listening to you"
He was talking to himself now and
Rusty glanced back to see him glaring
wildly through the window. Il killed

though they we're coming down hill.
But it did not make much difference.
For the woolies could catch up any

road followed a switchback down the
steep grade, winding for mile around

And meanwhile old Homer was

greater protective measures in this
country from industrial supplies
standpoint, with an accompanying
upward price movement in numer-
