Lois.
Disheveled, the clothes almost
torn from the upper part of his
hodv. Dave was thrust forward.
''Here y'are, Miss Lois, shouted
curran exultantly. Here's the
measly skunk who killed yore dad
and yo're goin' to have the honor
If touchin' him off, accordin' to
custom"
Dave Strengthened himself and
looked straight into the girls
face. He didn't want to die, but
he had faced death too many
times to finch from it now that
his time seemed to have come.
But through his mild old Hooker's
words were running:
"You promise me you'll look
out for, Lois if anything happens
to me-"
Those words, cut off by the roar
of the explosion from the assas-
sins revolver. And, 'She never
had a chance, poor kid"
Somehow it seemed to Dave
that he could go more easily II
Lois believed he was not Ola
Hooker's murderer.
The girl was looking straight
back at him. In the darkness Dave
could see the dark grey pools OF
her eyes, as if lit by an inner
fire.
Someone produced a rope and
flung it over the bough. Rough
hands laid hold Of Dave and tas-
tened the other end about MS
neck, fashioning a hangman's
knot. Dave had ceased to strug-
gle. He would go to his death
at least with dignity. X ~,ss :;
"Git one of them broncs!
shouted Curran.
A man leaped from a horses
back and led it forward Dave
knew the procedure. The horse
would be driven from beneath
him. and he would be left swing
ing-the most painful form OF
hanging, since it took a man per-
haps a full half-minute before he
became unconscious.
But Lois drove her horse for
ward. LET him ride Black Dawn,
she cried. "He broke him, didn't
he?"
Curran burst into a roar OF
laughter. ''That's sure smart OF
yuh, Miss Lois" he cried. yeah,
he broke Black Dawn, and Black
Dawn's goin' to break him-by
the neck!"
Lois bent forward and whisper
ed in the stations ear, then slip
ped to the ground. cit him up,
fellers," chortled Curran. Bruce,
yore race is run, and yo're goin'
to do some heal fancy high-step-
pin tangos. Say, amt yuh got
no halter on that hawss, Miss Lo-
is?" he continued.
"He doesn't need halter.
He'll stand till I give him the
word to CO."
Curran roared with glee.

IS WINNER OF
SKIING TROPHY

Miss Edna Almquist, Juneau Ski
Club secretary, flashed through the
finish flags of the downhill course
set in the Ski Bowl slopes Sunday
to wind the Behrends White Stag
Ski Trophy Her running time was
81 seconds, which was three Sec
onds ahead of her nearest compe-
titor.
With perfect snow conditions, five
women entered the combined COM
petition for the downfall and sla-
lom events, showing excellent form
and judgment in their runs. Mrs.
Mary Toner took first in the sla-
lom and placed second in the
doWnhill to have a combined time
of 56.2 to be followed by Cecilia
Thibodeau, whose combined runs
totaled 60.4 for third place.
approximately IS skiers were in
the bowl and many camera fans
were busy taking action shots of
=
the contestants at the various race
corners. The slalom event proved to
be very interesting for all specta-
tors who could view the entire flag
course from one spot. Due credit
must be given to Miss Bonnie
Kline who took her warm I'D exe.-
cises in the form of climbing 20
the summit of the Ski Bowl be-
