worked out some way of going on your bond and letting you out. couldn't tell them much. I couldn't say to Dad that Junior was the hold-up man. I just turned the money back to the bank and told them to keep their mouths shut until we could see little further"
 Hunter could only repeat, "So you did that"
 "Yes, and I asked a man to marry me and he turned me down cold"
 What are you talking about?"
 "Im talking about coming to see you in jail and making a wager with you that you'd soon be free, and you would propose to me and I'd say yes, and we'd get married I even laid my bet on the barrel head and you wouldn't put up. You just sat there dumb. We'll, If you don't want to marry me you don't have to-" She assumed a lofty manner.
 Red, you're plain crazy! You and Tisdale are engaged to be married. He's rich. He's ir on the Ballard fortune. Whats more log- ical than you two should marry and keep the fortune intact? What am I? A kind of glorified hired man for your dad. Why. even the colts I raise go to him. The strain of prolific corn I develop becomes his. What chance do I have?"
 She turned to examine him. Her eyes traced his features, dropped to take in his big athletic shoulders and chest. You're young though. You seem healthy. You appear to have your original equipment of teeth, hair, and brains. I always admired your intelligence, Hunter"
 Thanks" he said with dry bit- terness.
 "Dit 1t ever occur to you that I might be Q good sport after all, Hunter? I mean your being poor has never worried me. I read stories and see motion pictures where the poor boy refuses to marry the wealthy girl because 1t will give him an inferiority com plex; but I thought you might be above such petty things, Hunter. You've made yourself gone through the university mostly on your own, become scientific re- search man, you've created things, such as that strain of corn. And you've only begun. Your whole life lies ahead of you. There is nothing to keep you from making Q name for yourself that will be the envy of many men who only had wealth to start on - Ol Tis- dale, for instance. I wouldn't be afraid to start from scratch with such man as you, Hunter. I'm betting on you. You remind me in lots of ways of Dad. He met q challenge. They made him zaad

"He goes along, Junior drives into town with the gang and strikes out after him, and yells Stick lem up in his best style. Up to now it Is all just a good joke. Good sports standing on their sportsmanship.
 But the Ghibarto twins, rascals like their daddy, see a chance to pick up $17,o00. Looks like a sure-flre setup. The gang don't dare talk. Kill the messenger and he can't talk. Might as well shoot Junior, too. Two men, nondescript and dark, did appear, and the fire works started. Well, those were the twins. Why they didn't leave town when the plan flopped-they didn't figure on Junior really shooting back to kep the joke from spreading, and toting his hot lead like Q true sport - is eXplainable when you figure that Junior won't talk; he may yet die without talk ing. Besides;N the guy that runs looks guilty. So-"

THE MONEY RETURNED
 CHAPTER XI
HENRY

Hunter stared at Bella Ballard. She knew who got the $17,000, and knew who had it nowl And 1t was- mt Red - or Strickland Ballard, which Hunter would have accepted as the same thing who signed his bond SO he could be released, but Temple, president of the First Na- Nonal. So many questions popped up in Hunters mind that he could only gulp and stammer.
 "You know who did get that money? I mean"
 T took 1t out"
 Great guns" Hunter Dent groaned. "What is this, anyway? You mean you were the one that opened the new safe, when I am the only one who knows the com- bination, and removed that money? Red, was that you? How in the nation did you get the combina- tion?"
 Hunter Dent, do you mean to Sit here and pretend that you don't know I'm even alive? For years and years have trotted after you like e puppy. I used to as little girl let you put me on your horse, and you were almost 8 father to me. I've been so much underfoot that now I'm young lady I have grown ashamed and tried to stay away from you, though not very successfully.
 "SO; one day when you were try- Ing to open the safe and couldn't remember the combination, and took out your wallet and read 1t, and got down on your knees and said the combination aloud while you worked 1t, I was there in the door watching. You were so ab- { mOrbed you didn't even notice me.
 "So I remembered your old com- bination just to out-smart you some time. Maybe had in mind laying a bet and taking your last dollar. I don't remember. But when Junior came in that night after he hnd got mixed in the hold-up-you see, Hunter, all that was doped up while was out tor ride with Oliver, and so I didn't know any, thing about 1t until too late; well, ' followed those blood stains, I went up to your office, because Junior would make right straight for you if he got Into trouble, l opened the safe, and there was the bag of money. With my own. little hands I removed 1t. I'd got wind enough of what was going on to know the money had to be re stored.
 T told you know who has t now. Would you like 10 knCw?"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 Con-

to expedite construction of Bur-

For $25,000.000 Dimond told the

George to Fairbanks. Fifteen hum
dred miles of it could be rushed
to completion within a year or more,
he said.
The road can be built to provide

mend reminded his colleagues that
it is less than $500 miles by air

bomber formations, flashing out
ahead of enemy troops, only about
$50 miles north of this defense
bastion, literally shook Singapore
with their bursting bombs.
Preliminary surveys disclosed little
damage was done, however, unlike
yesterday when an air battle was
fought high in the clouds at some
distance.
The city of 100000 population was
aware of the air battle yesterday
and in view of the terrific firing
knew that battle was on in earnest.
There were intense explosions of
bombs and also intense anti-aircraft
barrages that shook buildings.
Today the attack was more pro-
nounced, the bombs exploding shak-
ing the very foundations of the city
and rafting windows in the suburbs.
