There was the clink of gold,

drink scarcely tasted.

returned to ii. He went about his

out OF town again.

wanted the knowledge for. A man
could put a dam back in here

run-on OF snow water in the
Spring. If tina. water was i'm
pounded, then distributed as
needed to irrigate a big stretch
OF Semi-desert, il would add ire
mendously TO the productivity of
his domain.
He sat envisioning il, where the
dam would be placed, the lake
which would result, the necessary
operations to make the desert
bloom. Finally he swung his
horse, and even as he did, a rifle
made loud thunder against the
brooding silence
Steve felt the pluck of the bull
let through the left sleeve of his
coat, pricking the skin. He rea-
lied instantly that only his swing
ing horse had saved his life. Some
body had taken plenty of time
in aiming, while he made a good
target-but had delayed Just a
fraction too long.
- AGE was like torch liz in
IN him. Somebody had tried
old-bloodedly to murder him.
Squirting, he put his horse to a
gallop. The bullet had come from
less than quarter of q mile
away, where a rise offered good
shelter. There the gunman could
have ridden without being seen,
taking his time.
Swiftly his guess was proven
correct. Two more bullets spat at
him, fired hastily, with panic Jerk
ing the trigger. The gunman, who
had dismounted for a good aim.
ran wildly for his horse and fed.
Confident of that first shot and
frightened when it had failed. he
was no longer dangerous.
There was rougher, broken
country ahead, in which he might
find sanctuary--if he could. get
that far. Steve was giving him no
time. The gunman turned. show
ing a frightened face. He swung
his rifle and fired twice more,
wildly. Shooting from one run

target took a lot of skill, and
cool nerve. This fellow had lost

He rolled. tried to come TO his

And now, made cool by despera-
ton, he tagged this loose and
tried to raise il, as Steve fiung
himself from his own horse.

no desire to kill the man--only
to make him prisoner. He was
almost upon him--too close for

The other gun was clear OF leather

he had no recourse. His own gun

Emily Post on Etiquette

A brides problem is described
as follows: II am to be married
soon and quite bit of controversy
has arisen as to who should give
me away. My mother and I have
lived with my maternal grand
parents all my life. Two years
ago my mother remarked and
moved, but I remained with my
grandparents. My grandparents
feel it should be the right of my
grandfather to give me away in
asmuch as they have taken care
of me all of my life, while my
mother worked. My mother feels
it is my stepfather'S right to give
me away since he is paying for
the wedding. I am more or less
in the middle Of this and to avoid
any hard feelings, I have decided
to let you be the judge"
Since you have always lived
with your grandparents. your
grandfather is the proper one to
give you away no matter how
great is your appreciation of your
stepfather's generosity.
Problem Of Toll Girl
Dear Mrs. Post: I am excep-
tionally tall for girl and when
ever I go to one of our church
dances I find it very awkward to
dance with men who are much
shorter than I am. Usually I am
seated somewhere when I am
asked to dance and they do not
realize how tall I am until stand
up. Would it be proper to refuse
to dance with men who are short?
Answer: You might stand I'D

The spokesman said the mate
rial included some items which
appeared to be ineligible for free
mailing. He said that in line with
usual procedure. the departments
Finance Bureau had written Sen
ator Mccarthy to inquire if there
had been other mailings of the
same material under the frank
and if so how many mailings were
involved. The inquiry was for
the purpose of billing the Wis

Price-ControI Powers
To Be Granted Local
Boards in 81 Cities
B-2 THE EVENING STAR
." Washington, D. c.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER rs, 1882

Price Stabilizer Tighe E. Woods
is expected to begin tomorrow to
set up local price control boards
IN 81 cities and to turn over to
them large slice of the control
powers.
The cities. including Washing
ton, are those in which the Office
Of Price Sterilization has a re-
gional. district or branch office.
The local boards will have au-
thority in their communities to
recommend price rollbacks, CELL
ing suspensions and revocation of
previous orders suSpending con-
trolS. In memorandum for OPS
personnel Mr.. Woods said he ex-
poets to support decisions of the
local boards in 90 per cent of the
cases.
The boards, Mr.. Woods said, will
also:
l. Aid in policing price regula-
tions in the retail and service in
dustries.
2. Have power to hold hearings
in noncompliance cases.
3. Consider all price adjust
ments in their communities.
4. Make suggestions as to policy
and administrative improvements
and help in suggestions to be
submitted to the President and
Congress concerning the need for
continuing the stabilization pro-
gram or strengthening it.
The boards will have a mini
mum of five members. There will
be an equal number representing
business and consumers. These
two groups are to choose an ad-
ditional-and presumably impair
tlal-member. Consumer men,
berS, Mr.. Woods said, generally
will be leaders of organized labor
or consumer organizations.
