If the judgment upon UZZlah
seems too drastic, let us remember
that the king was preSuming TO set
aside an order established by God.
1t was a question of whether God
was TO rule or the king. We should
also bear in mind that what looks
like a single outward bit of pre-
sumption was really the expression
of a heart that had long since gone
far from God. When men in high
position either in the State or In
the Church fall into sin, it is not
very often the result Of a yielding
to q sudden temptation, but rather
the inevitable showing forth of what
has long been true in the inner life.
The leprosy OF Uxxiah's heart now
showed forth In his face. and he had
to be shut OF from his people and
from his royal position.

damage But his savior, who had searched him
out in the burning jungle, was paying with his
sight!
Cardiff heard the man shifting something.

Cardiff struck him. But he did it with his
open hand, for the man was too groggy to hit
right.
The gesture exhausted Cardiff even though
he had pulled the blow. He sagged at his
waist as if his stomach had been pulled out OF
him, and spawled headlong m the warm, soft
moss.
It was the last he knew for many days and
the last he saw. For hours when Ike first came
to. he Gould hear only the gentle voice of his
wife and once in while her sobs. The sobbmg
reminded him of that strange sound in the
tunnel.
In his darkness he pictured her more vlvidly
with all his senses. Every fiber of his being
felt her soft fingers caressing him. They rubbed

That was when the Bombay doctor took the
bandages from his eyes and he saw through
the mosquito netting as if she were seraph
floating in mist. When her liquid eyes clung to
him he knew that something had changed her.
Both of them had changed. 1t was as the
s,myasi had said. There is one who loves and
one who is loved. And so they had changed
places!
He knew at that first sight of her that It was
Iona who loved him now. He knew it without
the corroboration everyone gave him. Inc
house boys told him she had scarcely LETT his
bedside day or night. Sir Hubert told him she
had gotten the Surgeon General and then de-
manded someone better! She had gotten
famous German eye specialist. political
refupee. who demanded huge fee for the trip
from Bombay.
She had some money of her own - enough
to pay him.
And, of course, you know" Sir Hubert
said, sitting by his bed. 'how she rode INTO the
Jungle alone and found you.
Cardiff smiled with the side of his mouth.
"Iwas out. knew nothing. And she's thought
full enough not to mention the fire.
But you remember before you went into
the fire you sent me back home to her. But
she'd already gone. Her horse got away, she
said, and ran into the burning jungle. But she
found you and St. Gowan."
"She never mentioned him either. He seems
to have absolutely faded out of the picture
somehow"
Right. He took P. & O. back to EngEld

Sir Huberts eyes rounded out like marbles.

hurriedly.

After 20 years delay, tentative
plans for construction of a mosaic
fountain to honor District police
men killed in the World War were
presented yesterday to the District
Commissioners by the Police Me-
mortal Committee.
The fund to provide the me-
mortal was collected through a pop

Defense League, a wartime citizens
auxiliary of the Police Department.
With accumulated interest it now
amounts to more than $4,000, men,
bers of the committee said.
The fountain was delayed for two
decades for lack of a suitable site
but now it will rise in front of po-
lice headquarters in the new Mu-
nicipal Center Building If plans are
carried out.
Three cascades of water will fall
INTO base % feet in diameter,
and benches will be provided at
the sides for spectators to watch
the tumbling waters, it was learned
from DR.. Frank E. Gibson, treas
urer of the committee. The stone
of the fountain will be selected to
harmonic with the architecture of
the Municipal Center, he said.

 T. told you to stay homep he muttered at last. "Honey grill"
 "I couldn't"
 "No.'
 He said it matter-of-factly, as if he hadn't expected her to; as if he could understand. Nobody has slipped through, I'm sure of that" he said then. "The officers are rounding them up now. Closing in. Barro's in there somewhere sure as fate, Betty Maryl We've got him = thanks to youl There won't likely be any more shooting now. Stay behind me and come on."
 It was battlefield, after the bat- tie.
 A dozen or more horses were down, dead or wounded. And the bright white light of the flare re- vealed several human bodies as well.
 First thing for you and me now, little girl, is to help the wounded men," Sheridan was say ing as he walked. He turned to address her direct-"We can save lives by prompt" He halted. She wasn't there! She hadn't fol- lowed at his heels, as ordered.
 But all at once she called to him again. Almost screamed.
 "Sherryl Here's Hope |. Hope Oh Sherry!"
 They stopped to touch him. Ap- parently Mexican, really an American in disguise. The odd stopping position of his body slumped over another had first ate tracted Betty Mary, and even un- der extraordinary circumstance she had seen something familiar about the man. She and Sherry moved to lift him.
 There's Barro under Hope!" Sherry suddenly cried. He's tied, hand and footl With bridle reins. My God, Betty Mary! Oh my God! Hope captured Barro .. then a wild bullet! . Don't you see?"
 Sherry's own youthful voice had broken into sob as full realiza- ton came to him.

They found big Sheri- dan sitting on the ground beside his teammate, head and arm on bent knees, crying in full abandon as only a strong man can. They saw Betty Mary, face strained and pale, encircled in one of Sheri- dams arms and held tightly there.
 They strengthened out the body of Hope Kildare ever so gently and covered it, and then they locked handcuffs on Luis Barro's wrists and led the dazed snug gler away.
 After the other prisoners were taken in charge and started to- ward Fl Paso, and first aid had been given the wounded men, an older officer and four others strode up to Hope and Betty. The older man knelt on one knee, hat in his hand, reached out an arm and patted Sheridan on the shoulder.

Barro's cavalcade of aliens passed within 20 feet of Sheridan Starr, who was crouched against boulder.
 It was Sherry who fired the rife signal five minutes later and shouted the first command to halt -"ALTOl" His men in the border force repeated it. First duty always is to inform the enemy that he is under arrest, then take him peaceably if possible. Sherry realized that peaceful surrender tonight was almost a futile hope.
 On the other hand, Luis Barro was to dumbfounded for @ few seconds to understand what had happened. The shot and the com- nands had come from the rear But they had come unmistakably from the U. s. Border Patrol. All Rt once he was indignant. The damned Americanos had dared to cross into Mexico itself!
 "Who are you" he shouted back, insolently. we are Mexi- cans, on Mexican soil. You know the law. You dare not be here!"

When Garfield Licked A Country School

~ NS0tNty S'O
 A MEXICAN education was a A primitive and lusty affair when youthful James Abram Gar field took his first country school in the pioneer midwest about 1850. Anyone knowing the mere rudiments of learning could teach then. The result was that the west probably had more incom- petent instructors than you could find in the entire nation today.
 But then a teacher needed more than scholarship and learning. A teacher needed strength, as young Garfield found the day he took command of his first students. For two years his school had been a riotous affair. Every teacher had been either thrashed or frightened out of the community. Either Garfield would have to conquer on the first day or take the same road.
 He chose to conquer and he did just that. Garfield picked first on the schools No. l bully and for the first time in two years the fellow got a thrashing. But not before he picked up a stick of firewood and aimed it at. Gar fields skull. A general free-for- all fight followed after that. The schoolhouse was practically turned upside down. but Garfield was on top of the heap when the affair ended. He was on top of the heap. for that matter. for the rest of his life.
 For the l2 dollars a month that Garfield earned on that school job were used to complete his own formal education. and that educa- tion elevated him to the presi- dency.

SERIAL STORY RnDNEp AnNEMTllPE BY OREN ARNOLD
 

''The Rio Grande is not the ir- ternational line at this point. The old channel is, not the new one. The river has changed, but the two countries have not changed the line survey. You and your aliens are all on American soil and you are under legal arrest. Manos arribal"
 An almost electric tenseness had gripped both groups during this brief exchange, then suddenly 1t broke.
 A woman screamed; somebody groaned in sheer terror.
 Horses sensed the excitement and began pitching. Luis Barro cursed. Then he jerked out his pistol and fired in the direction of Sheridan's voice.
 His shot released 8 ragged vol- ley from 20 or 30 rifles and pistols around him, but the officers held their fire until they could speak one more warning command - "EIALTl ALTOl" The shoot- ing only increased. Sheridan saw a fellow officer fall and writhe in agony.
 "OKAY, LET THEM HAVE TIT" Sheridan yelled then. Luis Barro spurred his horse in that instant, guiding back vest ward toward the first opening he could see in the night shadows. But another horseman had spurred with him and came now to his side, half stood on his own run- ming horse and dived. Barro was grasped around the neck. Both men tumbled hard to the ground.
 Border Patrol rifles parked rapidly now. Crack! Crackl Crack Sheridan saw the aliens and smugglers break in a wild stam- pede. Those who had entered the water ran foolishly back into the fight. Most of the riders, having no saddles, jumped or fell of their mounts. All of them were hemmed in by long arc of officers strung out toward the west, and by the river itself toward the east. Yell- ing, shooting, screaming, shouting crying men and women lunged about in confusion everywhere. A tall beared fellow loomed in the night and shot seemingly point blank at Sheridan Starr, but missed. Sherry dropped him with pistol bullet, his own face dis torted as if in acute pain; he hated above all things to have to kill.
 Don't shoot any women!" he yelled in command to the officers. Just pick of the men. All right Barro-had enough?"
 Barr didn't answer, but in a few minutes more the shooting subsided. An officer had thrown a bright flare into the midst of the aliens and it lighted the scene l theatrically. Its startling bright ness, although harmless, seemed to have the effect of a huge bomb. For- eigners were thrown in terror, stood now with their hands in the air. Five minutes more of this, and Sheridan again took verbal com- mand.
 "Move up together, menl" he shouted, land disarm 'em one by one. Bunch them together. Be care. 1 full, but don't shoot any more if you don't have to-"
 From his left then he heard a woman calling. And, strangely calling him by name! Sheridan! Are you all right, Sheridan?"
 Startled, the young officer paused for a second, standing with his pis- tol ready.
 He stared into the darkness but could see no one. Then he heard someone running toward him.
 "Who is it?" he parked. His mind refused to verify what he thought he knew. It didn't make sense!
 Sherry? Is it over? Are you hurt any? I'm comingl"
 She came rushing to him then and he couldn't say a thing. He
