of the heaviest losers in the valley
and it has put us in the red for
the first time in NC history"
Cattle rustlers? What about the
law? Can't they find out who has
been stealing from you?"
ut isn't as easy as that, Mr..
Mattingly. This ranch covers nearly
10000 acres and with only about
80 men you can't watch all of it
at once. Whoever drives off these
cattle knows Eeeves and also the
lay of this country and we have
never been able to trace them any
farther than the foothills. There
are hundreds of ravines where they
could be kept for days or where
their brand coulG be changed. They
are evidently taken In small lots
we never know just how many are
missing until we get to branding
or rounding them up. It's some
body that knows a lot about cattle"
What about the men you have
here? Can they all be trusted?".
oh, certainly" Allison. spoke up.
Most Of them have been here for
years, We know them all we'll John
is the last man added and he has
been here almost two years"
"Two?" The tone of Mattingly's
voice brought a dull red flush to
Johns face.
Both Miss Carver and her father
have always felt that I could be
trusted, Mr.. Mattingly."
1t was Mattingly's turn to flush.

How strange that he felt no de-

if he were challenging the future.

Richard stepped to the well-worn
planks of the platform, took a deep
breath of the clear, crisp air and
felt much better. Then he saw
man and girl just rounding the
corner of the station. With one long
glance Richard took in the trim
riding boots. the Well-fitting whip
cords. the tailored riding shirt and
the blue, blue eyes. What was any
one with such beautiful coppery hair
doing in this out-of -the-Way place?

Maritime Commission
Is Reconditioning
Seized Vessels
Officials Are Studying
Legal TechnieoIities
And Question of Crews
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

The % italian ships which were
sabotaged by their crews in Ameri-
can ports a few weeks ago. and
which will be taken over for ma
tional defense, will be available for
service almost as soon as the Sc
other ships Communicated from
other countries, it was disclosed
yesterday at the Maritime Commits
sion.
This agency has just been as
signed by the President to assume
jurisdiction over the vessels. Soon
after the italian craft were seized
and placed in the protective GUS
tody Of the Coast Guard, the Treas
ury Department asked the Mari
time Commission to send inspectors
to ascertain the eXtentn of the
damage.
The vessels were sent to ship
yards and work was Immediately
started on repairs. Most of the
damage was in the engine rooms,
and in some cases, it was said, al
most entirely new power plants will
be needed.
There are still some legal matters
to be settled before the majority of
the ships are actually taken over.
These problems, including personnel,
are being studied by the legal de-
partment of the commission.
The commission is considering
using the present crews. except
+I,Aea u-bo ,,,onna1 tho Corp,op
Italian and French ships.
Commissioner Edward Macauley is
expected to make a report this week
on the question of crews following
conferences held here more than
month ago by the various seamen's
labor unions, the shipping COM
panies. the ship officers associations
and the commission. Committees
which studied various problems were
not in agreement in their recon-
mendationS, it was learned.
officials of the Maritime Com
mission say there is no shortage of
ship operating personnel. 1t was
pointed out that the commission
called the original conference be-
cause trained Seamen were taking
shore jobs because of better pay.
Furthermore, it reported that con-
sideration is being given to the re-
duction of the number of three-year
seamen now required on the vessels.
and to a reduction in the percentage
of foreigners allowed in the crews
The President is authorized under
the statutes to reduce these per-
centages in the event of a national
emergency.

The administration speakers will
