Iletly Mary didn't1 have the whole dope on it." j They ceased talking and began moving now with the skill of long practice, slowly, silently, as an In (lii'n might go. Beyond the hori zon line dead ahead was San . Felipe Canyon. It was a small gorge, but Its 800 reel, or so of depth loomed for bidding by night. Farts of its walls were sheer; n man could step over a rim and plunge to sure death he low. All of it was a rocky rugged terrain, touched here and there by thorny cacti which had to be sensed by the crawling men. "Don't stick up your head," Hope warned his friend, unneces sarily, whispering right into his ear. "Hump your blanket up around your neck. It'll keep your silhouette from looking like a man, in case anybody should just hap pen to be gazing at the skyline." ".tight," Sheridan whispered, ' They moved on all fours put tlnir first their rifles forward, then pulling up I ecu. If they bad been older men they would have real ized that this was much like re connolterlng Into No Man's I .a nil In 1117, and indeed that's about what it was anyway. They bad excellent reason to suspect that five or maybe 25 desperate aliens might be on the other aide of this ridge, and they knew any such aliens would train hawk-like eyes for the of I It-era from Kl Paso. "Wonit thing is." Hope whla ppred ouce, "we didn't get the tip in time. We may be already too late." His concern over this heightened as more time passed. The two men edged over the rim, hearing nothing but a distant night bird, and worked their way down near the narrow floor of the canyon. They found a roc!: about the size of an automobile which could serve double purpose it shielded them from the chill night bteeze which raced up the canyon, and it would be a breastwork from pos sible bullets too. They huddled beside it for a long halt hour, lis tening intently. "If anybody's In thin canyon now," Sherry whispered at last, "They warn sure aren't moving. The walls are so close we'd surely have heard some sort of little noise or echo." "Right," agreed Hope. "But they may come yet. If we aren't too lute getting here." "I'm afraid we are. What time is It, say " "It's past 2," Tiope answered, studying the stars. He had a watch with luminous dial and a pocket flashlight too, but dared not use either now, of course. From their position they could be fairly comfortable and could surely discover any pedestrians or tiders who might try to come up the canyon. They unrolled blank eta and wrapped, up to combat the cold. Then they took turns on guard. The long night vigil was never Interrupted. Not a Blngle unto ward sound disturbed the officers. At 7 o'clock they ate a bit of cold lood and at 8 a. in. they crawled down their khaki uniforms made a natural camouflage from spies with field glasses, so long as they moved cautiously and Inspected the canyon floor. Twice they searched carefully covering a wide area. "Maybe we weren't too late, but too early," Sherry said when they had met again. "Not a sign of a track, either horse's or man's." I "Me either," Hope nodded. "What'l! we do, stick It out?" "Guess so." They were putting themselves In for a long, tedious task and they knew it; but patience is truly golden If you are a border guard They settled down behind their rock and brush to wait until night should fall again 12 long hours, and then more vigil at night. They passed the time talking, as only friends can. A lot of it was business, and a very great deal of it was about Betty Mary Jordan and her unexpected appearance in their lives, but they did not allow the talk about her to get personal. Not a thing was said, all day. about the fact that Sheridan Starr already bad asked her for a first date. Both men sensed that such talk might lead them to dangerous ground. Never for a moment did they Imagine that she hadn't given them an accurate tip. They knew Mexican character, knew that Barro might have planned to send aliens over last night and then de- J cide to postpone the crossing. They migui nave to wait several mgbts, sending one man back to care for the horses and to bring additional provisions for themselves. Barro, and all Latins, are like that; un hurried, changeable. Sheridan anO Hope had kept patient vigil berore, were not unhappy now, especially with thoughts of Betty Mary to entertain them. They lay low and slept son-3, one at a time, during the day, but at sundown both were alert and on guard again. The sH-o:id night was miKh like the firru; lighted only by stars, Ulent and clear and rather cold. From 7 to 9 o'clock the two met scarcely wr.spered. At 10. Hn;.t whisper I, "Needn't expect aujth'ni; before midnight " and ftiH-o-t nstaiitiy corrected that ni'lnlo.:. Botiip'. i ia in the pji::voi M that moment, n im-k ut tum bling!

(AP) Two professors from large eastern colleges made direct at tacks upon the new deal today, with the declaration some of President Roosevelt's p o 1 1 cles mean "dictatorship in the authori tative, European sense." Dr. William Starr Myers, pro fessor of politics at Princeton, In a prepared address opening a three-day conference at iJart mouth college, promoted by the Braman fund committee for the de fense of the co Atltution, applied the "dictatorshilT term in saying Mr. Roosevelt held "it is for the president to make the policies, and for congress to find the methods to carry out bis will." "It has shown Itself In direct steps toward an authorlturlan state," he added. "The T. V. A. plan is pure socialism. Our pres ent system of taxation and 'relief is communistic in part. The new deal attitude toward business Is fascist." Walter E. Spahr, professor of economics at New York university, contended in another prepared ad dress representative government In this country in the last serrtf years has become "mere nose counting." S. P.
