TWELVE PAGES DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1922. PAGE NINE fi NEW CLOSED CAR BEING BY One of the latest types of enclosed -cars manufactured by the Pranklm Automobile company is the Touring Unions, ne. This type is mounted on le standard Franklin chassis, has four doors and Is very roomy. It Is an enclosed car with one or two com partments adaptable for owner or chauffeur driving. When the car is chauffeur driven, the seclusion of passengers is made quite complete by the glass partition at the back of the front seat. The partition is equipped with a sliding: panel which . permits companionable relations of front ani rear seat passengers. Or . the parti tions' can bo removed entirely, making the bogy into a one compartment car, suitable for family parties when the owner drives. The change, facility by rattle- proof partition locks, can be made in a few momenls. ' The car is painted In Franklin gra. with black enamel fenders. The ap pointments are of the very latest li. motor cars and very beautiful. The Pendleton Auto company have ordered a shipment of these cars to be made up at the Franklin factory. Motor enthusiasts await their showing at the locaj showrooms. , OltKGOX ROADS (Continued from page 8.) Bear Creek-Shorty Davis Itanch: 10 miles; good condition.

They were standing idle because of lack of funds. The same situation held in 'South Carolina and In Geor- . Conditions In North Carolina and Florida are, at the present time, bet ter than in other states in the south. North Carolina looks good from a future point of view as does Florida, but both states can be included in that circle of hesitation which clr- iCumsoribes the entire South. How ' ever, while previously not listening to sales talks or merchandising ef- I forts, there now exists a more recep- Itive state of mind. I ' i Cotton possibilities look fair with a I possibility of improvement from a ! price point of view, as it seems as though there would- be a definite shortage through ' the entire south. This, of course,, will cause a rise In price of this commodity sooner or later. To bring the supply of Amer ica back Jo. that of last year we will have to raise 12,000,000 bales better than 60 per cent Increase over 1920 21 but this can't happen this year. From this it would seem that next year will be . a banner year in the south and It is desirable to plan sales accordingly. ... The central south has naturally been materially effected by the flood situation in the Mississippi valley. Unlike Florida, there has been an ex cessive amount of rain and it had been impossible to plant crops of any nature. It seems, however that the flood situation subsided just in the nick of time for the planting of cot ton, thereby greatly brightening the outlook throughout the Mississippi Valley. . . 'In the Chicago territory, in the I southwest and in the central" west, I spring has been about two months behind and . has been the "cause of a -drop off' in business, which usually I late spring has also retarded busi- uumiin. wan e,Jc.,cu m nun mi - rltory from now on, increasing as the farmers become more and more optlmistfc, as they undoubtedly will, and provided of course that they se cure good crops and good prices. Mr. Bartsch noticed a particularly intensive activity on the part of "gyp" battery and tire manufactur ers in thti west and middle west, an activity that bids for the. attention of the so called legitimate manufac turers. - " , . - . ' Generally speaking, however, there Is a definite lack- of pessimism and a general looking tip, which suggests that the near future, while it cannot be considered excellent, will be from lair to good and With intensive mer chandising, sales ought to be some what better than last yaar.

Suddenly the tide aused the ship to list to the other side, i giant wave smashed open the port iiole, and t,he rush of the mad waters aeainst the cabin door burst it ooen. The girl was swept out into the pas sageway and thrown against an iron ladder loading to the deck above. Half climbing and half wading through the rushing waters she found her way into the wireless room. ' As Ruth at one time had been a student of the wireless, she now deter mined to make use of her knowledge. Rooking at the chart on the table, she mind hor latitude and longitude and ;ent out an SOS. The girl heard the vires buzzing she was about to re ceive an answer! Suddenly the water vhich had been steadily rising about ter put the apparatus out of .:onimis iion, and the girl struggled to leave the room. , ' '' Entering the hatchway, she saw that (he decks were more than half awash. Taking a desperate chance, she stum lled forward to the mast and started -.limbing the rope ladder to the crow's lest. When she reached the top she ooked down and saw that the ship lad almost submerged. Slowly but .urely the mast was drawn under the vater, and Ruth leaped from her place .f safety to the sea to keep from be ug drawn under by the suction. Grasp--,ig a piece of wreckage, she clung to t, hoping that help would soon reach ier. . 1 ' ' f Ruth had not been mistaken Het J nessaee had been received by tht ,,Vhite Rider aboard the Dragon, and; he little yacht was already hastening o her under full steam. In another .tour she was lifted out of the water and carried aboard. ' ' The lifeboats from the Queen Esther arrived safely on the island of Siburo. As the boat with Phil aboard was beached, the young man ran up the sandy shore looking for Ruth. He saw that the figure he had imagined to be his sweetheart was Julia Wells. "Wherois Miss Randolph?" he de manded. . "I haven't seen the dear girl," re-( !icd Julia. "When the ship "started inking 1 ran to the boats without; hinkinji of looking for her." ' ''We mwt start inland at once and nd the native village," Phil heard .oomis saying. "We have no provis os or water." ' Phil -refused to go mil them. Sitting dejectedly on the hore he gazed into space as though e expected to sec the girl's spirit ,aminrr toward him, Suddenly Stanton sprang to his feet.. .. yacht was approaching. His heart, a filled with hope, mingled with .nr. There was the slight possibility int Ruth might be aboard. The yacht, leemcd to fairly crawl toward shore.' 7in.iily he heard the anchor chains rat lc. and a small boat put off from the Mb. Phil shouted with joy as he; aw the girl o his dream standing in he bow. He waded out into the sea,' lftcd her bodily from the craft and: .-arricd her ashore. ; : - "Oh, my dearest!" he cried, half laughing, half crying. "I had given; ou up as lost." The rest of the "young people's conversations was mingled with kisses. - ' . ' "I am sorry to interrupt," said the White Rider, with a smile, "but we must overtake Loomis and the others. Then Chief Lame Elk must be found to decipher the Sacred Wampum." "Somehow," replied 'Ruth. "I fear that we are courting danger. No one .eems to know anything about these natives " r "Have no. -fear," interrupted the White Rider, "the natives hers con sider, the Wampum Belt as sacred as do the Canyon Indians. In fact, they were originally a Canyon tribe who long - ago became discontented -and emigrated from the Golden Canyon and settled on this island. I have sent for four sailors to go inland, with you and take provisions. I will anchor the yacht here for the time being and await your return." : . . . "But thy can't you come along?' asked Ruth. :.- "Because," returned the -mysterious man. "if the natives were to recognize me it would only bring danger to tt all." The girl decided to ask no more questions, but to follow his instruc tions. Consequently, with Phil and the sailors, she started inland. Meanwhile, the Loomis party.'weary and hungry, plodded along the inland trail. After about an hour they reached the edge of the trait and were not aware of the fact that they were walk ing into danger. A tall young Siburo warrior at that moment peered through the brush and smiled grimly as he saw the white intruders. Shout ing p.n order to his tribesmen. Brown Panther descended upon the newcomers. - "We tolerate no intruders." he told, the white folks who were now his cap lives. "And now, since you have landed, you must not leave. By the Siburo law, you cannot be injured, but jrou will be conducted to the turquoise euarrv, and tlftre vou wilt uJraa i without food and, water until vu i Jouls are free to leave your bodi " will remain." The faces of the Loomis party b came terror stricken. As' the nativ were about to take them pr!iOiier Hendrix h:nged a terrific blow t Brown Pai.ther's jaw, knocking hi),; down. That was the signal lor a n- era! light. But the whites were so ; era! times outitnmbered and their caus. was hopelejs." It was not long befois the captives vjt brought to the Tur quoise Quarry. The spot was like an enormous hole in a rock, with smooth rock sides rising, up straight from trie bottom of the quarry, on the eoge 01 which stood Indian warriors on Ifuara Julia Wells, Loomis and the rest 01 the party v.fTj famished for want 01 .food. A single drink of water wouivi have been heaven to them. As ilrown Panther gave his guards further or ders, he saw Ruth and Phil, with their oailors, approaching. The chieftain and his men quickly surrounded the new arrivals, but suddenly he saw tne vVampum Belt. Immediately he was impressed. 'My warriors are at your com mand," he told the girl. "Your com mands will be obeyed." At Ruth's request, he led them to the quarry where the girl was hor rified to see the captives. She com manded Brown Panther to liberate them and permit them to accompany her to Chief Lame Elk. The Indian assented reluctantly, and soon the partvof whites and Indians were cn their way toward the native village. As they came to Lame Elk's hut, Browi; Panther drew Ruth aside. "Let me first advise Lame Elk of your presence," he told her. "He is very ill, and I fear the sudden shock might endanger his life." " Ruth and the group waited while Brown Panther disappeared inside. A moment later he emerged and motioned for the girl and several of the party to enter. . The old Chief was indeed on his death-bed. His shriveled form seemed to be but a shell waiting to pass into the Great' Beyond. Ruth slowly took off the Wampum Belt and handed it to the old man. At first he" did not seem to realize the significance, then a terrible look of awe passed over his (ace. , ,He groaned .heavily and fell back in his rude chair. ' A moment later he seemed o recover and at tempted to speak. Ruth bent closer to hear his words. "My time is too short to tell the full .meaning of the cipher," he muttered. "The Great Spirit is calling me , . . find Stone Ear . . . my beloved wife ... she must be in your country . . . we were separated when I brought my tribe here from the Golden Canyon." Almost exhausted, he took an amulet from his neck and handed it to Rutb,. "Give Stone Ear this token," he con tinued. ."She will know it is from me , , , and she will read the Sacred Wampum." . ,''; ,;. :;.. '' "Stone - Ear!" "the girl 'exclaimed. "She was the Indian who brought me my father's last message!" 1 . As she1 spoke a terrible shudder passed over the frame of the old Chieftain. He tried to rise to his feet, then fell back and lay quite still. Brown Panther bent over Lame Elk and endeavored to revive him. It was too late, the Great Spirit had claimed him. "You , are the cause of this!" he shouted, turning to the girl in a fury of rage. "And you shall atone!" Ruth, frightened, drew closer . to Phil, as . Brown Panther left the hut and ad dressed Hie crowd. ' ' i ' . i , ' . "The Strang' have brought a ca lamity to usl he Cried. "Your great chief, Lame Elk, has passed on to the Happy Hunting Ground!"... ' The air was filled with a mixture of strange jargon arid moaning . The In dians rushed to the hut to seize Ruth and Phil, but the two eluded them and broke into a run. 1 he sailors from the Dragon did a gallant bit of fighting, holding back the warriors while the young people tied. - Once Phil was forced to drop behind and lay low three of the Siburos who sprung al them from behind a boulder. As the chase continued the young people wens separated.;. . , ," '. Ruth ran on and on. . Looking ovet hep shoulder, she saw that Phil had disappeared, hut that young man had already proved he was perfectly cap able of taking care of himself, so thi did not permit herself to worry. Pinull) she came to an entrance of a cave Here was a place of shelter! Running through the dark passageway, she sua denly saw an incline before her, lead ing to a deep pit below. Unable to stop she slid down the incline toward th pit and managed to grasp a stout noli protruding from below. Clinging ti the slippery pole she. looked about her A steep wall surrounded the oit. Shi j looked down. A shudder of fear oassei l up ner spine as she saw two Hons n I the bottom of the pit, leaping up I ner hungrily.
