FMASTER of NONEV"
I BY ROY VICKERS
J
-"Where do you want to rot"
lie demanded la a tone which
showed he wu prepared to be
generous.
"Well, I'd llk to ride my hus
band's horse round the cams and
watch the men at work.
For a moment he looked doubt
ful, and then:
Til pat you on parole. Mrs.
Brennaway."
'Oh. that's Tery kind of you!"
"But don't ride sear the track
orer there or some of my men
might shoot. They don't under
stand English."
Shirley thanked him again and
then went in search of Petros.
She had sensed that the Greek
was devoted to Alan and would
dovbtlets do all she Wanted. She
had heard Alan speaking to htm
In French and, doing likewise,
asked him to saddle her horse.
Host willingly," agreed Pe
tros, "But there is no saddle for
Madame."
- fln America, Petros, women
ride like men. I hare a riding
suit with me and I shall change
into it while you are getting the
horse ready."
She could see that her words
astonished the Greek hut thought
no more of it. By the. time Petros
had brought the horse to the
shack, she was In her riding kit.
As she stepped out there came
a sudden laugh from .Abramovel
and his half-dozen cronies.
"What's the matter with them,
Petros?"
"They are laughing at Mad
ame's clothes, answered the
Greek. "And X don't think they
hare ever seen a woman ride.
Women do not ride la this coun
try except sometimes when yow
will see them on a laden ass."
Shirley patted the spirited
chestnut that Alan had got into
good condition, then mounted.
The men stood up to get a better
view of her, staring open-mouthed.
"It they're never seen a wom
an ride before. It won't do any.
harm to do a little showing-off."
reflected Shirley. "I wonder if
this mare has eTer been taught
to j unapt '
She had her eye on a ridge
an easy ridge some four feet high
and. breaking into a canter,
promptly put. the mare at it. The
mare refused the jump and Shir
ley put her at it again. The third
time the mare went oyer and
made a clean landing. She heard
a shout of approval from the men
wared her hand in acknowledg
ment and trotted towards the
gang. , .
Here aia the men stared at
her la wonder, then laughed. But
their unfriendliness caused her a
feeUng of alarm and she rode
away from them. Presently she
saw Abramovel riding toward her
and she turned to meet him. He
drw up beside her, grinning.
"Ton teach me to Jump, eh,
Mrs. Brennaway?"
"Certainly!"- agreed Shirley,
and gave him directions. "But
you must choose your Jump care
fully at first," she warned him.
You had better start on the one
X took near the shack, and you
can borrow this mare to practice
on and teach your own horse
later."
"Ton don't teach anyone else J
Mrs. Brennaway?" he urged as
they turned back toward the
shack. "Only me, see? I'm the
leader."
-All right!" laughed Shirley.
She was highly amused. There
was piquancy in the thought that
this eager, shabby little man was
a comitadjl leader and her jailer
tor the time being. From the re
mote ast a phrase of Roger's
came T her. "They're a comic
opera crowd." She laughed again.
Abramovel and his gang might
well hare stepped out of a comic
opera.

WAUSATJ. Wis., Jan. 29.
(AP) Eighteen army pursuit
airplanes and three transport
planes made headquarters here
tonight prior to hopping off to
morrow for Mount Clemens,
Mich., to complete the Arctic pa
trol test flight. They landed
here this afternoon after a flight
from Minneapolis.
Major Ralph Hoyce, command
ing the army expedition, said he
hoped to reach Selfridge field
late tomorrow, completing the
round trip from Michigan to Spo
kane, Wash.
The flight from. Selfridge field
was begun nearly three weeks
ago with It starters. One air
plane, piloted by Lieut. K. K.
Warburton, crashed near Beach,
N. during a snow storm. He
was enroute by train for the home
port today.
The Arctie patrol flight was in
stituted for the purpose. Major
Royce said, of determining flight
conditions daring typical winter
weather. The results, he said,
were gratifying and demonstrat
ed the ability of trained aviators
to cope successfully with adverse
flying conditions.
Tomorrow morning the planes
will be warmed up early in .prep
aration tor the hop over Bib
mountain, the highest point in
Wisconsin and onto Selfridge
field.
BANKER HEADS LEAGUE
SEATTLE. Jan. 29. (A P)
James A. Swalwell, Seattle bank
er, was elected president of the
Columbia basin irrigation league
here today.
HUE VIEWED !
U HOTEL BOB
ST. LOUIS. Jan. tS. (AP)
With three men In custody on.
charges of first degree murder
and arson, and a fourth held for
Questioning, authorities investi
gating the tire disaster at the
Buckingham annex hotel more .
than two years ago In which
seven lives were lost, tonight
turned their attention toward an
inquiry Into $295,990 in insurance
held on the hotel.
Circuit Attorney Franklin Milp
ler was seeking to determine who
would have benefited from col
lection of the insurance, most of
which still is tied up in litigation.
Only about $S0.660 has been ac
tually paid by fire insurance com
panies. Statesman subscribers have
received S156S.S8 from the North
American Accident Insurance Co.
This amount has been paid to
accident victims who hold the $1
policies Issued to subscribers.
I CHAPTER XLTI.
J Cynas returned the letter.
! "Well?"
"I thought you might be In
terested knowing what Breana
way's reputation is. And the fact
.that he considers it worth while
to make an offer for those shares
suggests to me that they are pro
l.ably worth their face value, or
.will be after he'haa been on the
job a very short time. And I
thought that possibly, on a fifty
fifty basis "
"Never mind the terms. They'll
l:eep," cut in Cynaz. "You want
tt half million eh? Well, I can't
do anything on that letter alone.
1 must have some reports of what
I going on Out there. Get hold of
those and come and see me
ega'o."
There followed a fortnight of
harassed investigations throtlgh
foreign agencies which yielded
riot a single item of information
, at the end of which Roger went
to Cynaz again and offered to go
out to Macedonia himself.
"You won't do much good by
yourself," said Cynaz. "I know
more about it than you do. The
one thing you've got to bring me
Is proof, other than your own
statement, mat. mcuu um
t-uilt that railway track and
trains are running over it. Give
me that and I'll come In. Other
Wise I stay out." '
For Kelton there was no hesi
tation. Leaving the office at that
lime was a little difficult. For
Twhich reason it took him another
fortnight in which to arrange
with seeming naturalness that the
trust account should remain in
his possession. In the end all the
details were settled to his com
plete satisfaction and he left New
York at the beginning of June.
"And now I've got to kill time
for three days." thought Shirley
as she watched Alan's car disap
pearing down the track. There
might be dangers dangers to the
point of death and worse it Alan !
failed to return. But she believed
implicitly that he would return.
Three days in the shack with
nothing to do was a grim pros
pect.
Most of the comitadjl had tak
en themselves off to the camp to
find quarters. Abramovel and
some half-dozen others were still
squatting in the clearing. She had
leisure to observe the man whose
prisoner she had now become and
found difficulty i n restraining
her laughter.
He was, she supposed, a man of
about 40, very nimble in his
movements, by no means unintel
ligent, but wholly unformidable. 1
The leader of the armed band of
outlaws, looked remarkably like
an English tramp. He wore a
greasy hat that had once been a
fedora, a threadbare jacket, cor
duroy trousers and boots the up
pers of which revealed the fact
that he wore no socks.
"I had better placate him and
pretend to be a little bit afraid of
him." she told herself, and went
out into the clearing.
"Mr. Abramovel, I'm under
your orders now,' she said pleas
antly. "You aren't going to keep
me In the shack all day, are you?
