N GOES HUNTING
CHAPTER vi

Ronica Bailey felt that utter de-
spair, born of terror, when danger
is all around you and nothing is to
be done.
She had slipped off her horse
and crept forward afoot in sheer
adventure spirit and curiosity.
She lacked even the pearl-handled
pistol that stayed in h plane.
So, she couldn't flee and she could
not fight, and a hundred yards off
an American officer was battling
with five desperate men. She
peeked out between two rocks.
Actually, she had a side view of
the little battlefield. She could see
all five of the aliens-two of whom
Enthusiastically were dead or wound
ed now. Suddenly she observed
that Starr was no longer shooting.
"O-o-o-o-h!" 1t was almost a
moan. II wonder if he is - is
dead!"
Fury began to replace the fear
that assailed her. because those
aliens hid shot at her once earlier
in this day and she had done moth
ing to cause it. She decided now
that she must go back for help.
Whatever had Mr.. Starr meant,
coming out here single-handed
anyway? She crept back toward
their horses. Her own had been
tied near his.
When she got there she saw the
stock of the rifle in Starts saddle
scabbard. She remembered he had
worn two side arms, but
"Oh! Oh, my goodness" Roni-
ca Bailey murmured.
Then Ronica did a characteris-
tic if foolhardy thing. She took
the officers gun, opened it part
way to see that it was loaded, and
started right back to he spot she
had fled from.
Even before she got there she
heard more shots.
"All right" she heard Starr yell,
and was happy for it. Come out
Of that with your hands up! Manos
arriba!"
He mixed his commands in Eng
fish and Spanish, but the tone,
not the actual words, told Ronica

LEATHERNECKS

Many persons believe that the
United States Marines are called
Leathernecks because of the SUM-
tanning effects of the rays of
Old Sol, but as a matter of fact
the sea soldiers were given their
nickname for an entirely differ
ent reason, Sergeant George F.
Frederiksen explained yesterday.
Stiff leather collars or stocks
once made them hold their heads
erect in the approved military
manner. The stocks, he said,
were about three inches in height
and went around the neck to
be fastened by a strap and buckle
at the back.
From all reports the stocks, in
use from 1889 to about 1880,
were stiff and uncomfortable and
it was difficult to aim OF shoot
a rifle while wearing one. he
said. But the soubriquet is still
popular with marines, and even
their magazine is called the
Leatherneck.
Sergeant Frederiksen also re-
ported yesterday that Private
Lewis B. Spivey, of 720 Market
street, who enlisted at the local
sub-station July %, is on leave
from the marine barracks, sea

WASHINGTON, Aug. B u
Relief expenditures boosted Ameri-
can religious and charitable con-
tributions to foreign countries last
year to approximately $40, O0o, 600,
the highest for any year since 1881.
Announcing the figure today, the
commerce department said $4,000
600 worth of relief funds were sent
to China, Poland, France, and
other European countries. besides
the usual expenditures for missions
rehabilitation, and resttlement. j
A study for institutional contri-
buttons by August Maffry, of the
departments finance division, was
made public showing that since
early in 1919, Americans have sent
81, 270, 100, 600 abroad. This included
vast sums sent to Europe to feed
and rehabilitate World war vic
tins. In 1919, for instance, the sum
was $40, 600, 900. 4,
