the party directly beneath him. They.
wer casting quick glance over their
shoulders, hoping to ae a party of
armed whites come over lb crest to
their assists rx-e. Bat when Rocker
called to tbem to keep op their flr.
that he waa alone, there waa disap
pointment. But tber waa hop. The
father, teeing tb advantage of Rock
ers strategy, encouraged hi family, at
tb name .tiro admonishing tbem not
to flr except at an eepeclal rdkln.
But bt this time the Indiana bad be
taken themsetve behind a slight rise
In the ground, where they remained
out of Bight. Tbey had evidently
withdraws for consultation or with a
view to getting the strength of their
aew enemy. Buckera and ibe white
below also ceased to Are sine tbey
could do no damage. Ruckers called
to their commander, auggestlng that it
might be well to direct on of the
parry to crawl through the cactus to
tb crest: thatdy tiring from different
points at tbe ) time tb two above
might further make it appear mat
tber were not more than on person
there. '
It appeared to tb father that who
ever succeeded In separating himself
from tbe party might have a better
chance for bis life. and. deirtnfto
give this advantage to his daughter,
be directed her to do aa Ruckers had
auggewted. The redskins detected her
and sent a abot at ber which raised tbe
ddat only a foot from ber. but an suc
ceeded In ber attempt
- When Backer aaw aa attractive girl
wbo bad come to fight with htm for
ber life and tb Uvea of all concerned
a new resolve came to blm that tbey
abould win. There waa an eager light
ia tbe girl's eye aa ah asked what abe
ahoald do. Rocken. who sine abe
had been fired at la Joining him had
lost confidence In hi ruse, told ber to
lie flat beside blm and wait for orders
Tbe Indians appeared again, scatter
ing at flntt in order to dtatract tbe
whites, tben suddenly-making on con
verging lines for the wagoo. Rockers
called to those behind It to aim at tbe
aavages nearest tbe center, told tbe
girl beside him to flr at those on tbe
Indiana' right, while b would cover
tbe left and any snob Individuals a
be thought It an advantage to put out
of tbe fight. 1
This dividing up the enemy between
them proved to be very effective. Tb
aavages bad not covered half tb dis
tance between tbelr starting point and
the wagon when a dozen of tbelr war
riors bad been dropped. Tbey hesitat
ed, broke and scurried for cover.
Tber waa a about, and a dozen cow
boys came . galloping toward tbe
wagon.
Rockers turned and looked at tbe
girl beside him: ab tamed and looked
at him. Tber are momenta when oar
emotions sweep away conventionality
Then two had met for tb first time
half an hour before. Death bad tben
stared tbem la tb face. Now all were
safe. Yielding to an impulse that
seized upon both at once, they threw
their arms about each other's ne ;k.
and tbe man covered tbe girl's face
with kisses.
Rockers bad not been on the crest
an hour, but he bad been mere long
enough to save tbe Uvea of the family.
When Ms first shot cracked tbe sav
ages were about to make a charge that
would have been trar-cetuifuL He had
stood tbem off Just long enough for
the cowboys to come In and mak the
fety of tbelr Intended victim cer
tain.
Night 'a coming on, and tb cow
boys threw op an earthwork in a circle
a bo at tbe wagon and tbe stork, and
(IckK were put out for tb night, bat
morning dawned without an attack,
and not a redskin waa to h seen.
Tben under a aofficient guard tb fam
ily who had so narrowly escaped death
moved on..
'Tbe adventure drought a great
chance to Jim Ruckers. For blm and
for tb girl he loved it stood in Ilea of
a long courtship. When Jim told ber
he wlMbed her to be his wife she could
not well my blm nay. for had it not
been for blm abe would not have bad
a life to give any one. Tbe family
stopped at a settlement, entered land
and built a home. Jim stopped, too.
and never moved on. He bad found an
anchor, and th apot wbsre Its Cuke

H will send a letter to every mem

regixtratloa committees, prohibit any
athletes from Joining and competing
for on club until two years after b
shall bar been released from another
club and prohibit any roller man
from competing for a rlnb until after

Ia my mind the changes are es

In regard to the collet: rule Mr. Sul- !

fcI think thnt nile will le et for all ,
concerned Being a member of a col- .
leg team does not mean that a col-
lecian shall not I allowed to compete
In open competition. To tb contrary. J
tb Amateur Athletic anion invites blm ;
to compete. In ninety din cases out j
of a hundred an athlete prefer to
compete In his college colors, but some
of tbem like to compete both for a
club and a college. This I what they
ar allowed to do now. '
During the summer vacation tbey ;
ar allowed to compete for any clnti j
Aa It Is during this period of tbe year
that most of the rbampionhi are
held, many college men are recruited
by tbe big clubs. They retnnln with
the club during the summer season.
n championships and points for It
and then are rarely seen again In Its
colors. This also helps to discourage
tb small clubs. Tbey cannot offer
sufficient inducements to get the cham
pion collegians to run In tbelr colon,
with tbe result that they a re further
handicapped In tbe championship.
Responsibility Divided.
"There Is too much divided responsi
bility with tbe registrstlon committees.
Tim and again clalma are made by ,
athletes and clubs that tbey are not ;
getting Justice from th committees In j
tbelr dlstrlcta. When traced they In
variably result In on committeeman
ladng the blame on another. My
lan Is to concentrate responsibility.
If each district had on man aa a
Judge of Its athletes' actions tber
would be no way In which that man
coo Id evade hla responsibility.
"FI ahoald be a-high class man. a
man of Integrity and on wbo knows
tb rules tnorougniy. 1 tning it wouio
be a good scheme to pay blm a salary.
IT could then b held accountable for
his actions and If found wanting could
be removed at a mlnnte'a' notice. Vn
der tb present rules It would , take
weeks to bring charge against a com-,
mltte. and tben It would b mighty
hard to remove it"
Mr. Sullivan's scheme might work

have ber owa 'way In all things per

that ber father and mother should pro

others In another, while she. and ber
alster. Mis Esther GedJea. would g

In the matter of th wedding so long
as abe was yielding lu marrying the
man of their rbolc Instead of h-'r own.
Mr. Gediles bad worked bard for the
fortune be bad accumulated, and It l
a well known fact that, wealth awail;.
la tea with wetltb. Mr. Ktewart could
match the pile of his father In-law ex
pectant. At the dor stood three auto Into
tbe first Mr. (ieddes handed In his
wife, then got In himself. Into the
second entered two of tbe brid'a aunts
aad a younger brother. Into the third
atepped tbe bride and ber slater. Usage
required that the order and the dis
position of iiersons 1 reversed, but tbe
little procession Mnrtetfas stated.
The Orst auto drew up at the church,
and the aecond airto did tbe same. But
where was the third? Mr. Uedde
stepped out on to the sidewalk and
-banded oat hits wife and looked about
for hla daughters. He sent the other
present Into the vestlbul of tb church
and waited outxlde. If be bad waited
till tbe arrival of the 'third auto be
would hare lieen there to tbls very
day.
But the third auto. Tb procession
bad ao sooner started than It began to
lag. At . every .street crosalng tbe
Chauffeur seemed disposed to give
1 place to all vehicle in hla path. Final
j ly, after quit lengthy halt, starting
I up, at tbe neit corner h turned aside
I and. being well out of algnt of the au
! tos In front, put on speed. There waa
' a sputter, and the auto dashed away.
leaving behind a fin odor of old
Umps.
nai ao j,oor ater this third aoto
grw np before a pnrsonag ten or flf-
I teen mues rrom tne rnurcn wocre me
1 wedding was to. have taken place. The
chauffeur handed the bride and ber sis
ter out, th three went tnto the 'par
aonage, and the chauffeur banded a
marriage license to tb parson. It
read Willi I. Rathbon and Cynthia
Geddes.
And so It was that while tbe gentle
j m.n ot th. ., U.PDnm was waiting at
the church for his bride tbe gentle
man of tbe aecond license waa wedding
tb lady In a different part Of the
town. When the bridal party returned
from tho church and Mr. Geddes was
telephoning to the pollc of the disap
pearance of a bride on tbe way to her
wedding Miss Geddes Junior rode op
to the bouse In the third auto and re
ported that her sister had been kid
naped by the rbnuffeur.
Mr. Geddes fumed and swore that he
would never forgive his daughter and
all that, but when ab returned from
the honeymoon he thought better of
It and gave. her his blessing.
Now, there is no Intention to recount
this affair as being Justifiable. It de
pends upon the standpoint from which
one looks 'at elopements, especially
wtiere one lover Is left In th lurch.
whether It Is Justifiable or not Tber
I an adage, however, whicb waa In
vented to rover such cases, and It does
away with all criminality. It to "All's

war, which ara tb antlpodea of each
