among green cottonwoo0s and
willows.
Lorena had observed, too, an
other phenomenon. When she had
first come to the river she had wa
tered her horse in an ankle-deep
stream 100 feet wide. Now, amaxs
ingly, the same stream bed was
entirely dry!
She was to learn later that Ari-
zona rivers are like that often.
They may flow along the surface
when they like, then duck quickly
under the dry surface sand when
the mood strikes them. Down
stream a mile or five miles water
will appear again, and in wet sea-
son will flow continually on the
surface. But now the strangenesS
only added to Lorena's apprehen-
sion and fear. Her whole expert
ence since leaving the train was
extremely upsetting. Even the
names of this region connoted
strangeness, mystery. Phantom
ranch. Paradise peak. Crown noun
tain. Ghost river. Surely Ghost
river was aptly named! Even now
she could look away ahead in it's
canyon and see ghostly, purplish
haze. She took a deep breath and
walked on.
AS she progressed, she saw that
the immediate river cliff became
higher. Presently they were so to
go feet above the stream bed. She
could look down on thicket of
willows. Green cottonwoOds were
very dense in spots, too; many
soft, tender young shoots must
have been encouraged by high wa
ter two or three times this season.
The river sand seemed to be thick
all under them. The greens covered
the sand like some great living
blanket, beautiful, billowy.
Abruptly, a temptation assailed
Lorena.
She, who had never been thwart-
ed for long in anything, who had
never been afraid of man nor
beast nor the devil himself before,
felt her heart suddenly go pound
ing-not so much in fear now as in
excitement at her own thoughts.
She glanced back. The cliff was
high for nearly mile behind
them, and seemed to get higher for
a mile or more ahead. a nan-or q
girl-on foot can go wh"re q
horse can't go! And I,crsna felt
dead sure that she was being k.t:-
naped and taken into soi:.e sort Of
grave new danger.
In a.f flash she acted.
She leaped from in fro,if Of their
horses, ran the Is feet or so 70 the
cliff edge and, without pausing.
! jumped!
Dense leaves and sapling limbs
twirled her body so that her face
hit first, mouth open. smack on the

holdup within a half block Of tba
Raleigh police station, and got awa,J
from a Wake county ABC store with
q moneybag containing Sl,49910
The robbery occurred shortly bc-

sistant store manager, was leaving
the liquor store with the days re-
ceipts and 500 which had been used
to make change.
81 was facing the door, locking if

there he was holding a gun in nv

Horton, clerk to walk away from
the store. The gunman then ran to
an automobile four doors away.
Bishop added.
Other onlookers were Dawson

He glared fiercely at her then,
but she didn't understand enough
even to answer. She thought of
snatching out of the lasso loop,
then taking her chances Of escap-
ing. But she realized that she had
no chance at all that way; best bide
her time. AnWhow, her legs were
too trembly. She wanted to sit
down, felt that she had to. A chill
had suffused her and she knew it
was abject terror.
Tive got to keep my nerve!
she reasoned. Keep my head"
Lorena's horse-Rogers' horse
had been staring back at the drama
from a distance Of 100 feet or so,
his head high in indignation. Once
he snorted. Now again he snOrted,
then wheeled and trotted away.
"Pronto!" cried the Mexican
leader, pointing.
A man ran in pursuit. He called
something evidently designed to be
soothing. But Rip paid no attention
save to lift his head higher and
snort again. The reins had been left
high on his neck, which was most
untoward condition when he was
unmounted. Rip moved into a gal
lop. The man turned back, aban-
doning the chase.
The three talked a bit more
pointing to Lorena and toward the
trail. All at once then they came
to a decision.
"You, gringo woman, do what we
say, you onderstan' ?" The leader
addressed her while removing hel

belt. "Now we see how Brazee

CHAPTER THREE

LORENA HAMILTON would, Of
course, have tainted dead away IN
1880 or even in 1900. But in 1889
fainting was mot particularly styl-
ish. And Lorena was not one OF the
"fainting kind anyway.
Before her father died, she had
often tickled him immensely by
pitching in with her tiny fists to
chastise some boy who had care
lessly offended her. She had shown
an early skill, not at the womanly
arts of knitting or crOcheting or
pouring tea, but at hanging by her
toes from a high maple limb, and
swimming in an alligator pond be-
cause somebody dared her to. She
had killed a rattlesnake at the age
Of II, and at 16 had beat her dad
at shooting wild turkey. In high
school she tried to organize girls
football, and had ended up by being
the energetic yell leader and spon-
sor for the boys team. In college
mother had scrimped heavily to
give her two years Of it after dads
death-she had won an archery
contest during her freshman year,
had captained basketball, and been
elected May queen besides.
So--she didn't faint, nor even
scream, when lariat rope pinioned
her arms ano jerked her from her
saddle. Her horse jumped forward
a bit then stopped to look back,
head high, snorting in astonish-
ment.
The thump of falling dazed her
momentarily only. She was badly
frightened, but even more angry.
She looked down the rope, saw that
it had been thrown from some
bushes on a little bluff nearby.
Now, too, she saw the man back
of it, swarthy Mexican.
"What you do here?" demanded
the man. Two others joined him,
holding rifles. Lorena thought they
looked exceedingly fearful. Like
movie villains.
"Stop this Instantly" she COM
manded. who are you? What are
you trying to do?" Her indigna-
tion must have been profound, but
they ignored it.
"You find out, gringo! What you
do here?"
II am going to Phantom ranch.
I am George Braces niece. You
ought"
"Brazee! Hah!"
It was almost as if he had spat
the words out, such contempt and
hatred did the man show. "Brazee
YOU"
Lorena sensed that she had made
an unfortunate admission. She
trembled bit in spite of herself.
One of these men looked as large
as a giant, an6 as ferocious. And
he was extremely dirty. "Glory!"
she murmured.
The three Mexicans were glaring
at her. She arose slowly from the
sand. She had a sudden thought OF
the pistol, but-two Of the men had
rifles pointing directly at her.
Release me this instant tell
you!" she snapped at them. LET

not quite keep the culver out OF
her voice. Never before had she
been so badly frightened. "Mr. Shot
Rogers s-said-said I was-all
right"
One Mexican raised his gun, but
the man who held the lasso quickly
pushed it aside with an air Of au-
thority. The three talked rapidly in
Spanish. They appeared to be ar
guing.. Somehow, more from ges-
lures and expressions than from
words, Lorena sensed that two OF
them wanted to kill her outright
while the third demurred. The thirG
one then turned abruptly to her.
"You Brazee woman. You shoot
thee gun. You make hunt for us
no? You lax keel us. You lake kee

ON GLACIER PARK

Arno 3. Cammerer, director oil
the national park service in a re.
port to Secretary Ickes, said that
the Glacier National park contained
more than three quarters of a mill
lion acres Of primeval wilderness
which cannot be entered by auto
mobile,
| Knowing Secretary Ickes and the
Dew deal the way we do, we could
add q moral to Mr.. Cammerer's
tale:
Leave Glacier park the way it is,
Mr.. Secretary. Please don't give
those 5000 blacktail and Whitehall
deer, 1000 elk and 500 American
bear your more abundant life. We
humans can stand it all right, be-
cause we have power enough to rea-
son that it can't last much longer,
but the poor animals wouldn't know
what to do with your kind of abun.
dance.
Nature planned Glacier the way
it is, Mr.. Secretary. Nature needs
no WPA funds to build trails for
the elk. Somehow they find shelter
in storms and water to drink and
nollrishing feed. They mate and
they carry on their species and
somehow they do it without help
from the surplus commodities cor
poration. Nor do the birds need
home owners loans. Their food
the insects and worms have not
been destroyed by governmental
edict. They'll get by all right.
Nor do we want the name of the
park changed Mr.. Secretary, like
you changed the name of the Hoov-
er dam for no other reason than a
personal pique at MIR. Hoover. The
glaciers are bigger and mole power
full than anything you ever produced
for all the billions you've spert.
Those of US who have had the
opportunity Of seeing Glacier in all
its wonder are satisfied with the
roads the way they are. If we want
to set back into the land of the bear
and elk. the trails will take US there
and we'll appreciate them in their
setting the more because we've had
to work to get there. If we don't
want to go to that trouble We can
see enough OF the park from the
present roads to convince us that
here, sincerely abundant nature,
revolution over centuries of time.
unmoved by personal piques, truly
honest because that's all that nature
can be, knows far more than men
even new dealers about what's best
for this earth.
| We like Glacier the way it is.
Mr.. Secretary. Let the park service
continue on its way. It's doing a
good job. 1t is content to acknow-
ledge its inferiority before nature.
And somehow the birds and the
bees have managed, too, to thrive
all those terrible years before you
came to power.
| Maybe you don't need this meg
sage, Mr.. Ickes. You proba bly, know
a good deal more about everything
than we do. But we wanted to be
sure. Glacier park belongs to Amer
lea. Mr.. Ickes, just as America be-
longs to all Americans. Don't for.
get that Glacier existed long before
we frail humans gave it name.
Don't forget that it will endure long
after you and the new deal are gone
and the only reminder of your pre-.
sence will be the bills you left to be
paid by future generations. Bill
