CHAPTER XIII
Synopsis

Lee HOLSTER returns unexpec-
tedly from a trip abroad to find
Matt Blair, his foster father and
owner of the Circle v ranch,
dead by his own hand. The ranch
is going to ruin and Mats daugh-
ter. Virginia, now owner of the
ranch, is living in New York with
the Archers, her aunt and uncle.
Her uncle wants her to sell the
ranch to Milton Bradish, one time
Mats associate. Lee persuades
Virginia to return to the ranch.
Her aunt follows her, accom-
panied by Stanley, son of Milton
Bradish. Stanley tries to discredit
Lee in Virginia's eyes. One eve
ming, JOsefa Ramirez, who is jea-
lOus of Lees interest in Virginia,
dances for Lee and throws her

Futile little toys. She gave Black
Lightning his head, riding blind

The ragged scar of the Bonanza
came into view, and Virginia re-
membered Joey, searching pa
tiently and futilely for evidence
in the loneliness of the old tun-
mel.
She snapped on the flash as
soon as she had gone a little way
in.
The pencil of white light
flickered over rock walls and
rubble-strewn floor, but there
was no sign of Joey.

County's Quota
Ate. vi. r. C. Is
Seven This Year
Applications Being Accepted
by 1t. B. ID. Barr Here.
Dates Announced.

1t. B. D. Barr of West Jeffer-
son, Chairman of the Military
Training Camps Association for
Ashe County, announces that the
procurement campaign for the
1910 Citizens Military Training
Camp, which is to be held at Fort
Bragg, has officially opened. The
camp will be held from June IL,
to July II.
The mission of these training
camps is to bring together under
healthful surroundings, on COM
mon basis of equality, young
men from all walks of life; and,
by supervised athletics, military
drill, and instruction in citizen
ship to develop them mentally,
morally, and physically; promote
wholesome respect for American
ideals, teach the value of team
work, fit them for leadership,
and impress upon them the obi
cations and responsibilities of
true American Citizenship.
Young men attending these
camps are no more likely to be
called to the colors in time of
war than other men. Through the
training received at these camps
they become more able to defend
their country in a national emer-
gency, if they should volunteer
or be selected for service.
A candidate must be an Amer
lean citizen, physically qualified
and of good character. He must
have reached his seventeenth
birthday by the day camp opens,
and not have passed his twenty
ninth birthday.
A physical examination, inno-
culation against typhoid, and vac
cination against smallpox since
January /, 1887, and certificate
of good moral character are re-
quired.
Prospective applicants may
write direct to the C. H. T. c.
Officer at Fort Bragg, N. c., for
any information they desire, or
apply to the County Chairman
of the Military Training Camps
Association. The County Chair

and the foot was getting bad.
But Slanty knew what Lawler
did not. There were two other
horses not far away in a hidden
corral. Slanty had more than
once found it expedient to change
mounts quickly.
When Lawler awoke, hours lat
err, the sun was slanty westward
and Slanty apparen t l y was
asleep. Lawler came softly to his
feet and edged toward the mar
row exit. With a quick over his
shoulder, he let him down.
Leading the fresh horse Law
Ter picked his stealthy was out
of the box canyon, hugging the
rock wall,
He recalled feeling something
stiff in an inside pocket of his
coat as he had swung himself
over the edge of the cave floor.
The paper that he drew out
was puzzling. It was neatly fold
ed, legal looking document. with
printing on the back and a single
word standing out boldly: DEED.
Other words caught his eye =
Matthew Blair" lice Hollist-
err"
Beneath the word HOLSTER was
the blurred imprint of a bloody
thumb.
Panic swept over Lawler. Fire
and slaughtered cattle, and in his
possession the blood-smeared pro-
perty of a murdered man. What
little head Lawler had, he lost.
Cursing Slanty Gano and his
horse, he mounted hastily and
bolted for deeper shelter.
AS he rode he caught sight of
dozen men pounding along be-
hind him. He crouched low over
his horses neck, cursing. All he
could do now was to ride. Then
the grade dropped suddenly.
There was lurch and a stumble.
The horse went down and lay
there. Lawler was flung free and
staggered to his feet. He ran like
a nic-stricken animal.
A few moments later the fore
most of his pursuers flung them
selves off their horses and looked
down. Many feet below them a
human fly chung to rock wall.
One man drew a gun.
Hold on! He won't get away.
He's done for!" They watched
him fall, turning, swooping, head
down.
They stepped back and looked
at one another. One of the young
deputies spoke.
1T looks as if that settled it,
boys. An innocent man don't take
chance like that. Where's that
white thing he dropped?"
Someone found it in a clump
of scrub. They crowded together
looking at a blood-stained deed,
and exchanged hard glances.
"Now doubt about it now"
said the young deputy slowly.
'The search is over" ~
Each day Virginia had stopped
for little while at Lees empty
cabin, opening the door with the
persisting, unreasonable hope
that he might have found his way
back there.
For that very reason the blank
finality of Curley's news about
LaWler seemed crueller and
harder to comprehend.
He saw that she wanted only
to be alone, and he left her. She
could hear him riding down to
the mouth of Turkey Gulch, and
then it was quiet again. She hur-
ried toward her horse.

Labor Elections Asked
By 81 Employers
Since Rules Change
Boord Summarizes Work;
Madden Proises 6. M.
And RivoI Unions

Fifty-two employers have petit
toned the National Labor Relations
Board for collective bargaining elec-
tions since the board changed its
rules six months ago and allowed
employers to file such petitions
when opposing unions claimed ma
jority representation, the board an
nounced yesterday.
Previously, only employees had
been permitted to ask such elections,
and some business and congress
sional leaders had protested that
this often resulted in damage to an
employer confronted with conflict
Ing demands of two unions, neither
of which would seek an election.
In summary of its work since
1t began operating in 1893, the
board said 1.026,813 votes had been
cast in 1851 collective bargaining
elections.
Chairman j. Warren Madden, in
an independently issued statement.
praised the cooperation of General
Motors management and c. I. o.
and A. F. L. unions involved for
their agreement on a basis for a
collective bargaining election among
the 125, 900 employees in SO General
Motors plants.
The stipulation" Mr.. Madden
said, saved perhaps several months
Of costly technical hearings con-
corning various phases of the cor
poration's far-flung enterprises. Not
only did the corporation and the
unions agree, but c. I. o. and A. F.
L. unions agreed among themselves.
Such cooperation between men
and management illustrates an ap-
proach to complicated problems of
collective bargaining which can re-
suit only in serving the public in
terest."

Cool Reception Seen
For Italian Protest

LONDON, March 4 (P-Foreign
office circles indicated today Italy's
protest against Britain's stoppage of
German coal shipments would meet
a cool British reception.
The italian protest, against block
aiding German coal bound by sea to
Italy, contained warning that the
British measure might disturb and
compromise" Italian British politi-
cal and commercial relations.
1T cannot be assumed that we
can waive rights and international
interests which are maintained un-
der international law" one British
source said.
1t was reported in authoritative
quarters that "the most rapid and
careful consideration" would be
given the Italian note, and that an
effort would be made Ito be as ac-
commodating as possible"
At the same time, these sources
said, it would be unwise to believe
that Britain would retreat from her
original position in view of "unre-
stricted warfare by Germany
against the allies and neutrals"
They pointed out the British
blockade was decreed last November,
but was not applied to German
coal shipments to Italy until last
Friday.
The foreign office said that. al
though no negotiations were in
progress now for a new British
Italian financial and commercial
agreement, the British committee
still was in Rome.
Talks may begin at any time, y
an official spokesman said. They
have not broken down, but merely
have been discontinued"
Foreign office sources disclaimed
knowledge of a British protest to
the Italian government concerning
the reception of the Fascist press
to the note announcing the coal
embargo.
Evening star., 1940-03-04

the importation by Italy BY sea Of
coal Of German origin. The Brit
ish government knows the coal in
question meets : an indispensable
need In the life and labor Of the
italian people.
Under such conditions, the meas
ure taken by the British govern
ment is Of q kind to disturb and
compromise the economic and po-
littcal relations established between
Italy and Britain by the accord of
April .16, 1898.
The Fascist government, while
renewing its formal protest, intends
to note precisely from this moment
data and factual elements Of the
situation to show the responsibility
for any future development arising
out Of it.
