CHAPTER I.

An observant person following
the red-haired girl in the station
wagon would have deduced that she
was an expert driver, but an i'm
patient one. The mood was re-
vealed by the abrupt manner in
which she came to stop at U. s.
Highway 80, the way she bored
straight through what business CEN
ter there was in the small town
a quarter of a mile down the road
slamming on her brakes and spray
ing red dirt and pebbles before the
station identified by weather.
beaten sign as Mesa Grande,
Elevation 1894 Feet" She got out
and swung into the depot, a clean
limbed youngster in superbly fitted
sage-green Slacks and saddle shoes,
handkerchief tied peasant-style
over her bright hair, framing her
face in an illusion of strange poetic
childhood. But curiously now, al
though she smiled, her eyes, which
were on the green side, had an
interesting, spoiled look, young and
calm but experienced.
Hi, Pecos," she called to the
shirt-sleeved man behind the ticket
counter. "Golly, but I'm late. Had
a fiat 10 miles out. Has she come
around the mountain?"
Right on the second" Pecos re-
piled. "One forty-eight."
Did she stop? Did any one get
off,"

Pecos grinned. "See Ill them" Z"
The girl turned to glimpse the wait
ing room, empty except for its
benches and pot-bellied stove and
brass cuspidors and three pieces Of
matched luggage. Dudes don't
travel light these days, do they?"
Where did he go9" the girl
asked, frowning at the luggage.
Across to the store to get q
smoke and q cup Of coffee. Said
for you to wait here"
HE did, did he?"
An Alluring Smile.
Eyes" Pecos squinted at her with
more than casual interest. do you
know him?"
Il ought to. I'm going to mary
him." And the smile which she
presented to Pecos was sufficient
to make any man under q century
swallow his cud and wish he were
nearer rs. "Will you give me q Lift
with these thingsP"
Sure" Pecos lifted q fly leaf in
his counter and came around to
help. "How's things out there?
Many dudes this season."
The girl frowned. mo more than
I can help"
Yeah, I don't like EN- myself,
but they mean q Job for me, and
I got eight kids to feed. Yesterday
IA dudes got of No. 18 and headed

Springs and I'VE for the Bar x"
Pecos swung the last piece Of lug
gage into the car and went back
to his duties.
The girl slid under the wheel, and
the unrelaxed way in which she
held her straight little back would
have indicated that she was not ac-
customed to waiting for any one.
Ten minutes-15-a half hour
What could this man find to amuse
himself with so long in a town like
this? And then, just when she had
made up her mind to flnd out for
herself, an arrogant, lazy drawl,
unfamiliar but peculiarly pleasing
said near at hand, Hello. Waiting
for me?"
Doesn't Care for Dudes.
She looked up into the direct blue
eyes of q young man for whom she
most certainly had not been waiting
but now that he was here Well,
in this land of bow-legged wran-
glers she wasn't exactly allergic to
handsome men.
"Is this the wagon from Chucko-
movi?"
For answer she let her fingers
trail along the outside of the door.
He grinned, unabashed. yeah, I
can read. 1t says Chuckomovi Dude
Ranch in letters five inches high,
but still can't believe my luck"
Then he came around to get in
beside her and she glanced up to

but the day before he arrived she
had to 60 quite unexpectedly to
Santa Fe because Grandmom was

ing the two days Jim Bradstreet
stayed at the lodge she had found
jnim in sp.-e Of the 26 years start on
her, one of the most completely abb
sorbing and charming men she had
ever met. that almost as suddenly
as a spark leaps flame touched
them, but that Jim controlled his
while she banked hers into .
Smoldering fire.
"He came again two months later
when Liz got back from Santa Fe" !"
No one would ever know what
she had experienced the night she
overheard Jim saying to Liz, II can't
believe you are real" and her bro
ken whisper, do you love me that
much?" Brick had closed herself in
her room, rigid with what she
would have described as horror at
finding her mother in any man s
arms. and especially Jim Brad
streets. But the next morning she
put her emotions neatly together
again with her inner conviction,
He doesn't love her. He's only
after her money" and few east to
betroth herself to Carl Jamison.
She said that much to Craig now,
omitting, Of course, the part about
Carl. Craig seemed slightly amused.
Then a week ago Jim returned
to Chuckomovi and camped and 1t
looks as If he's going to stay until
Liz either says yes or somebody
puts a dent in him"
A Startling Discovery.
They left the desert floor and
climbed onto the plateau where the
road grew steadily a little rougher
and sleeper, the arroyos redder and
more fantastic in cut. After a while
Craig asked. IF dudes make you so
unhappy, why are you running a
ranch for them?"
Its my mothers idea-not mine.
Liz can be outlandishly stubborn
at times"
She was conscious of his quick
glance at her, but they rode on
without talking and then Chucko-
movi was suddenly there like q
mirage crystallized into reality-a
sprawling adobe lodge, pueblo in
architecture, joined to smaller adobe
buildings by patios and riotously
blooming flower hedges.
Brick was intent upon two people
under a gayly striped umbrella by
the swimming pool. That's Jim
there now-with Liz" She bit her
lip and swept by, high-headedly
ignoring their salute. She ground the
station wagon to a stop before the
lodge and stared at Craig as If she
had never seen him before. He
smiled back at her, the small
crinkles rushing to the corners of
his eyes and then the world for her
tipped dizzily and righted itself in
the same instant, not because of
that disarming smile but because he
had just waved to Jim Bradstreet
and shouted, Hello, dad! Boy.

VHE spy menace that threatens Americas
security is made immeasurably more
d dangerous because of the vast army of
criminals within our gates. For the spy and
the criminal are directly related to each other.
Both are lawless; both hold that the ends
Justify the means. And the underworld, with
its total lack of common decency, of patriot
ism. love of country or any interest IN the
public good, forms ready-made recruiting
ground where espionage agents can enlist re-
cruits to swell the ranks of the Fifth Column
In the ranks of criminality, major spies can
find individuals who will give them informa-
ton on conditions that exist in industrial
plants and elsewhere. More important still,
they can find men and women who will not
hesitate to carry out their orders to cripple or
DESTROY our industrial efficiency The minions
of the underworld are not trusted leaders IN
the espionage field they are menials, chosen
to commit destruction.
Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation already have observed indica-
tions in various parts of the country OF the
fact that spies recognize the tremendous help
that the criminal element can give them.
Having faced the power of the underworld
for twenty three years, | view with grave con-
Germ the overtures which already have been
made to the depravity of criminally minded
persons - and shudder at what might hap
pen when espionage agents are able to work
themselves into positions of intimate contact
with the vast army of criminals who will stop
at nothing - not even the honor OF their
native land - so long as they get their price.
Crimes Common Denomination
No FORCE in America could be so disastrous
as public attitude which would sell America
short. Yet day after day there are evidences of
such an attitude - and when we analyze the
cause we are taken back to the principles
which motivate the underworld. The one
common denomination is dishonesty.
Consider the case of twenty one -year-old
Karl Allen Drummond, for instance. When he
was seventeen he was arrested for forgery in
Wichita, Kansas, and given tWo-year pro-
bationary sentence. Two years later, he was
again arrested, this time for burglary, and
given an additional probationary sentence.
Then, in June, 1898, he was charged with
stealing books and tools from the plant where
he was employed. The thirty day jail sentence
he received on the charge was suspended and
again he was placed on probation. In the
meantime he had been employed as an in
spector in an aircraft factory. Confidential
blueprints and photographs came into his pos
session and with inconceivable disloyalty he
sought to peddle these vitality valuable items
to foreign forces. The patriotism of his brother,
Evening star., 1940-08-04

to whom he went for aid in disposing of the
secret documents, proved Karl Drummond's
undoing. The brother turned the plans over to
the Naval Intelligence Service, and Karl
Drummond received two-year penitentiary
sentence.
have previously stated that the real bull
wark against the Vaccinations of spies and
saboteurs of all kinds and types is the morale
which can be relied upon to repel all attempts
at corruption and subversion. But this morale
exists only when there is definite, wide
spread respect for law and order.
The real danger to democratic institutions
is always within countrys own borders -
and this danger lies in possible breakdown of
moral fiber among its citizens Such break
down comes from lack of respect for the
processes of law and order upon which the
well-being of any community is founded. His
tory proclaims the cause of the downfall of
nations that have risen, fourished and then
decayed The reason lies in the growing weak
ness of the rulers of these nations and their
consequent inability to enforce their laws
The rulers of democracy are the citizens
of democracy We believe fervently in our
democratic system of government. For this
reason, we should view with great alarm any
development of widespread criminality among
the people of our country. This should be
source of particular concern to US if evidences
of moral corruption appear among the youth
of our land In recent years such evidences of
moral corruption have appeared among our
youth - and have called attention many
times to this highly disturbing development.
feel that it is not out of place to refer to it
again in considering the menace of Fifth
Column.
My reason is that not only do spies and
saboteurs menace our national security, but
that they also are used simultaneously as
subversive agents by many countries In other
words, spies are trained not only in the science
of espionage and sabotage; they are also
trained in the science of subversive propa-
ganda, which has been brought to high scale
of effectiveness in several European countries.
