BONNIE FIGHTS BACK
CHAPTER XXI

; Wesley's lariat loop had snakec out gracefully and true despite tht darkness. It settled over the riders shoulders. WeS whipped his righ arm backward to jerk it tight ant thus in an instant the riders arms were pinioned to his sides. Wes dug in his heels.
 "Oh-h-hu-u-u-uh!'
 The response was weird little staccato squeal of fright, almost feminine. Plump down the un- saddled rider fell. The horse snortec and jumped off to one side.
 Wes was already running. The last few feet he literally dived ano landed squarely on the dark form there on the ground.
 '"Take it easy!" he growled.
 But the victim declined to obey The person became wildcat ot failing legs. One knee struck WeS a terrific blow in the face. A heel drove hard into his ribs. The de- fender was far from helpless, even If arms and body were ill a tight lariat loop.
 His victim, however. was mo- ticeably smaller than Wes had eX- pected, and in spite of the writh- ing, breathing, Scraping resistance Wes found that he could hold the rope tight and finally get a half hitch around the ankles. He drew this tight, too, but-already he was beginning to sense something.
 "D-darn you, if-if-!"
 The victim gasped that much while struggling and Wesley York froze.
 Standing now, he suddenly was motionlesS, mouth open in aston islament. The figure at his feet still fought the rope furiously, and for an endless moment Yves just stood there disbelieving his own ears. Then all at once he knew for sure!
 "Ronnie!" he breathed. "R-Ron- nie!"
 She stopped fighting. Bent almost lifted her head to see him better in the night glow.
 "IS it-is it-?" Oh, WeS!"
 He couldn't possibly have been more contrite. He was almost pitt ful. Delicately, tenderly, as if she were now extremely fragile, he re- leased the lasso and slipped it off her, his hands shaking and his voice quivering as he tried every conceivable way to apologize. When he had her on her feet again she literally had to interrupt him.
 "Gee-mi-nee,- Yves, you scared me out of 10 years growth, but I don't think I'm badly hurt. I must have thumped you pretty hard once, though, didn't I? tried my best to! I would surely have killed you if l could!"
 T-I-naturally! I even expected it, Ronnie. T."
 50 you fought like bear. Good ness, WeS, I'd hate to have you for an enemy if this is the way you treat your friends. But don't you think we'd better say what we-?"
 "Yes, Ronnie! was, uh- trailing Lona Montoya. She"
 You were? You?"
 "Yes."
 "So was l."
 "Hunh?"
 "Wes, to tell you the truth, I've been Snooping on Lona since that

day in the Canyon. This afternoon I saw her get horse from the stables and ride away. Andre Girar- deau was with me at the time, but as soon as I could shake him I got a horse and followed. wasn't sure which way she went but just acted on hunch."
 "Oh, Oh, lordy, Ronnie, you are certainly-!"
 But, Wes, weren't you curious about all that, too? Interested? And-don't you remember 1t was near here that I had scrap with five Japanese?"
 But you, Ronnie, coming out a1one-!"
 She laughed bit. Fooey on that! bet you'd have me sit home and knit long underwent"
 He sighed. No man ever seemed to win an argument with Ronica Bailey. He went to catch up her horse again and when he helped her remount he noted that she was utterly at ease. His own chin, by contrast was aching; almost sure ly he would have to face the in- dignity of dark bruises again!
 They talked over the situation at length and decided to go back home after all. In the fighting they might have been heard. If not, Lona would have gone on far ahead in the delay anyhow. It would be too risky in every sense to try further snooping tonight in Rainbow Canyon, so Wes- ley got his own horse and they started back to Pueblo.
 Because it was not too much out of their way, to go by his home, Wes led them there before going to the stables. He went inside a moment and came out carrying a pearl handed gun.
 "Rennie," he spoke calmly, seri- ously, take this pistol and carry it with you whenever you go any, where. Do you hear me?"
 "But, Wes-"
 "No buts! You do as I say. I won't have you risking your life as you did tonight, Inarmed. I don't like for you to risk it any way, but I know you will do as you please. I'm sorry had to be rough tonight, and if you think there is any further chance of fighting any time, you come direct to me-"
 Bonnie didn't answer.
 It was, in truth, the first time any man had ever talked to her in such tones. Any New York man who had tried thus to give her orders would have had saucy reprisal at once. But - oddly Ronnie Bailey was secretly elated! She didn't even mention that she already owned pistol. She just let him escort her to the stables and then to her car, and she bade him goodnight with new note of respect.
 And in his own right, Wesley York also was elated.
 Doctoring facial wounds for a second time and for second time making lame but accept ed explanations to his mother the young college instructor re- flected that the student Ronica Bailey, for whom he was faculty adviser, was the most extraordi- nary somebody he had ever met. She fitted into no known category of co-eds. She was utterly dif- ferent and delightful. Coura- geous? She had done a daring thing, alone; and in a crisis he had fought back like a wild beast. And yet half an hour later she was, save for disheveled hair and clothing and few bruises of her own, as serene and lovely as ever.
 Contemplation of these things made his night happy one, and the glow of satisfaction (and of

Bill Offered by Cooley
To Repeal District
Income Levy
Hopes to Get Full Review
Of Problem to Prevent
Triple Toxotion

A bill by Representative Cooley,
Democrat, of North Carolina. to
repeal the District of Columbia in
come tax was before the House
today
Mr.. Cooley said his purpose in
introducing the measure was to get
the whole matter of District taxa
ton reviewed in an effort to avoid
triple taxation Of persons who main
tain legal residence in State and
yet are classed as residents of the
District.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H.
Seal has held that the local income
tax should apply to all persons
"domiciled" here, even though they
may claim legal residence elsewhere.
Mr.. Cooley expressed doubt that a
District income tax ever .could be
applied. successfully because of the
peculiAt POLITICAL character and resi-
dental requirements.
Il thought at first" he said, that
j. might. be revised to prevent triple
taxation, but now I am convinced
that II Just won't work here and
that 1t won't raise sufficient revenue
if it stays"
The repeal measure was referred
to the House District Subcommittee
on Fiscal Affairs. of which Repre-
sentative Nichols, Democrat, of
Oklahoma is chairman. Mr.. Nichols
opposed the income tax last year.
The subcommittee will take up
the Cooley bill. together with various
other tax revision proposals. at an
early date, Mr.. Nichols indicated.
