head up, lips in sarcastic smile.
my cowboy friend has this next,
and I know she's waiting for you."
The dance had ended. Breck re-
turned into the light.
Louise was standing away from
the crowd. He wanted to rush to
her, take her in his arms; but she
met him with level, unsmiling eyes.
IT think" she said, this is our
dance. I'd rather sit it OUT
"Sit?" Breck demanded. "You
ask me to sit still?"
They walked in silence back to a
shadowed path.
Suddenly he began. "You saw
that, of course. I'm sorry. It didn't
mean thing"
"Oh, didn't it?" She stopped, her
arm remaining impassively in bis

She gave strained little laugh.
"A girl kisses a man, and it doesn't
mean a thingi How strange; / al
ways thought it did," She turned
from him; the laughter died from
her voice and her next words we're
tense with controlled feeling.
I'm girl, with girls view.
Maybe we are silly sometimes, but
no girl would kiss you like that with
out the right-some previous right,
I suppose. Now, hadn't you better

what happened tonight! Irene. did
that for a purpose in front of

He looked at her, smiling little.
"Tm man and not supposed TO
know about women's technique; but
! still I'm not blind"
| She would not face him.
"Louise!" he begged, throwing
one arm about her waist.
"Stop right there, Ranger! I've
been waiting for that"
The voice came from behind him,
somewhere in the dark. Breck
whirled, one hand falling to his gun.
Hold It'll Keep 'em up!" A mount
ed man burst from the trees. Breck
looked up at Art Tillson towering
above him, ard then into the round
black bore of pistol.
The cowboy sat in his saddle un-
steadily, his left hand gripping the
horn; hatless, without a coat. and
his horse was lathered from hard
running.
Louise" he said thiclEly, "you
get backi"
Breck pushed her into the shad-
ows. Then he faced young Tillson.

"Wha-a-a-t?" Art leered in mock
wonder, leaning far over until his
| face came close to Breck's. sYou
tellin' me to get out? Sos you can
| go back to the dance? Nice, all
right. You with two women-an'
me with none. I'm nothin' but a
mountain fool-that it?"
Suddenly his mood changed. His
| face turned TO that Of a fend, SET
with cold, bloodless look. Breck
heard the guns hammer click; then
gasp of terror from behind him.
"I'm going to kill you!" The
words gritted out from clenched
teeth. The gun moved.

Jack drank in gulps and gasped
one long breath when he finished.
For moment Breck looked away,
thinking, knowing he must estab-
lish some contact in the little fel-
lows mind. 1t was plain he had
been through a terrible experience,
and then had been fighting through
the woods-no telling how long.

the Luger. He pulled it out, turning
it over in his palm as he looked at

mered.
"Yes," said Breck, sits Luger

Citizens Vow Fiqht
On Rezoning 3Lots
In Glover Park
Association Also
Recommends Changes
In Neiehborhood Traffic

The Glover Park Citizens As
sociation rounded out the civic
seasons activities last night by
calling on the Zoning Commission
to deny a petition to rezone three
lots north of Calvert street, between
Tunlaw road and Thirty-ninth
street NV, to permit erection of
row flats or apartments; making
traffic recommendations to As
sistant Director NJ o. Eldridge and
staging an association dance.
Leading the zoning fight, Daniel
Campbell asked for plain talk" to
the Zoning Commission in opposing
plan which would destroy equity
built up by home owners through
long years." Charles w. Garlock,
representing Mount Alto Hospital.
pledged support of the Veterans
Administration to association efforts
against rezoning to save the COM
munity from "a decline of IS per
cent in property values"
The association decided to be rep
resented at the commissions hear
ing on June 7.
On motion of w. C. Cunning
ham, the association voted the fol-
lowing traffic recommendations in
response to Assistant Director FL
bridges request for association SEN
timent: That Observatory place reg
ulations remain the same; Huide-
koper place NV. north of Benton
street, two-way traffic and parking
restricted to the east side of the
street; south of Benton, one-way
traffic and parking; on both sides
Beecher street, two-way parking, but
a change of traffic direction from
east to westbound.
Although no formal action was
taken, opinion among the citizens
was that closing Calvert street NV.
at Forty-first street is desirable and
that the present plans of highway
officials to swing Calvert street south
is more feasible than opening the
street because of steep grading which
would be required.
