The writer moans no affront and wihes to emphasize that the following statement does not in any way detract, yet feels it just to Bay that the one outstanding character and the one most repon sible for the success of the play was Nova Hedin. Her interpretation was beautiful and would have done credit even to a senior. We are proud also, of our boy Rex. Always a boy of natural charm he did pre sent a very striking and pleasing ap pearance on the stage. That he Was very anxious to do his part exactly right was plainly evident.

The Spaniards don't like the (lark; It muddles them and lean tell yon. man. the more muddled they are the better!" Roth men grinned. "We've cot to get 'era on the run by sunrise," finished Westwyn nnd smote his henchman on the shoul der. "Lord, I'll be glnd to get out of this place J" he ended to I'ete's Intense surprise "I've kinder got used to It What'll we do when this Is finished?" !t never occurred to htm that they might sepa rate. "I don't fcriow Shoot something, I suppose, or grow something. How would farming fit you? I've got a plnce In England" For tli rest f the day the Austra lian was riimlnntlve. "Sounded darn ' like settling down. Marriage always played the h I with a man's Job," he reflected. Neit morning while a fringe of mist swirled over the village, the two men started for the dam, accompanied bv a score of Riffs. Curtly, because he was afraid of letting himself go. West wyn had told Rosemary, "I've got to be off for a few days. We're rather expecting a scrap. If anything should happen not that It's at all likely you can rely on old Menebbhe. He'll stick to you and see you safely out ot this. Resides, you'll have Peter. lie's got to do a Job In the mountains and then I'll send him back to you. The girl's expression puzzled htm She seemed frozen. Only her eves were alive and as pitiful as a child's. lie knew she wanted to say more than the few words with which she wis!, ni him good luck, but she was startled and unprepared for this sud den departure. 'We'll have a talk when I get Hek," he promised, uncomfortable nt the pain In her eyes. Westwyn couldn't get the "mutter out of his mind. Women always want ed to drag things up and pull 'em to pieces, he reflected, as his horse sidled along the track. It was no use talking 'about things that were finished. Words never did anyone any good, hut Rose- f'mary's face, shadowed beyond Its jyoufh, went with, him up the ravine. The old headman, who had Insisted on accompanying the party for the first few miles, as he would have done a great man of his own faith, received short answers to his questions. When : they drew rein on the Mrsl Hut ground ; and Menehhhe. dismounting, pr-ptired 'to take formal leave, Westwyn did not ' release the hand the old man extended. "Sidl," he said, using for the first I time, the title of honor. "I leave my ; house In your hands. If things go wrong, I count on you.'' Menebbhe understood, hut the Eng lishman was In no mood for the polite diplomacy of Islam. "Treat my wife as one of your fam ily," he Insisted. "Her safety Is on 'your head." i The old man replied gravely. "On my head and my eyes! I swear she shall be protected here and, when Allah wills, go In safety out of our country." . i For hours Westwyn and Pete climbed steadily westward. Their rid : Ing boots were not as suited to the mountains as the soft RlfTlnn sandals, but they made good progress, drag ging their horses after them. By noon they were In sight of the dam. ; All that day Rosemary, oppressed by a foreboding which she told her self was Illogical, moved restlessly from one room to -another. ' A dozen 4iines she went 'on to the roof to look down at the village, deserted except 'for the women and children. She made a poor pretense of eating the cous-rnus, on which Ahmed had ex pended extra care, for he knew of but one cure for the Ills of mind or body food! I Menebbhe came to see her In the afternoon. , He was taking his re sponsibilities heavily, and his mys terious reticences were as exasperat ing as the fervor of his assurances of protection. "I have my husband," Interpolated Rosemary with some coldness. "Yes, yes, may Allah keep -him," Bald the; old man. departing with less than his usual stafellness. It was a fitting climax to such a day when an hour later Znrifa burst In lQ t.hg roomx fmnjj herself sit be.r r r SLOGAN FOR GANGSTERS The Coos Bay Harbor "Man About Town" suggests a slogan for gang sters of Los Angeles and Chicago. In last week's Harbor he sayu: The news items about crimes In Los Angeles and Chicago appearing daily in the papers suggests the Idea that the gangster) should adopt for their slogan something like this: "Count that day lost whoso low descending ton, sees no new notch upon the handle of your gun?' mistress' feet, and slirh-kod, "W'e are betrayed. Our house In Inst, The Kald, will be dead before morning." . She threw herself back and forth with the abandonment of the native .mourner. ! Rosemary's heart missed beat. For a second she was conscious of ; Intense cold, of sound approaching land receding, of puln gripping her In a vise. Then her common sense re turned and, with It, the dominant energy of the West. "What Is lit What do you mean?" she demanded, and, literally shook Karl fa. Into coher ence, ' "I have It from the Spaniard's ser vant "o I know tt Is true. The Kald rides down to the valley by the fur ther path, on the other side of the river, and el Mnrteniro lies In wnlt for htm with his ride, lie will kill inlm dog. snd who will allow . that It li not a spy. or one of the j snipers" Zarlfa rolled on the floor In her grief, tearing at her ! hair, but Rosemary's brain worked quickly. She knew exactly what she must do. Ignoring the wild figure nt her feet, she begun tearing off her . skirt "Cet my riding boots," she snld, kicking the prostrate Zurlfa. At first her fingers were numb at the rips nnd she could button nolthcr breeches nor cost, but It was only s couple of minutes nfter the Riff woman's reve lation that she was In the court, ram ming on her bat ss she went A startled Ahmed blundered to his feet. "Oct my horse," she told him. "Quick, the Raid Is In danger. I must go to el Menebhlic." She pushed film In the direction of the stable snd, seizing Zarlfa by the wrist, literally dragged her out of the gate. "I must find Ilelns." she said aloud, "lie will help. Be qiilot. yoti Idiot t Don't you want to help the Knld?" She ad dressed the woman, whose harraenn trailed In the dust so that she stum bled over It. ss she tried to keep pace iwltn her mistress. She best sgnlnst Melnz' door. tear In? at the wood with her nails, her breath coming In sobs after the strain 'of the climb; bnt ss soon ss the door opened she was calm. , "Donnerwettert" exclaimed the lit tle German. "Was 1st It?" His Eng lish Jumbled In his smazement ! Rosemary caught his arm, shook It, si she poured ur Zarlfn's story. "Cott In heaven!" ejaculated Helns. forgetting the Inadequacies of the shirt which he had been trying to pull across Ms ehett 1 "Walt" he said, snd she recognised the authority that belonged to all these men who pitted their lives and their brains against the elemental forces around them. Picking up his iplstol and a very disreputable coat Helot called to bis servant! "Saddle the horses, get your rifle." Then, to a boy, "Run as fnst as yon can to el .Menebbhe. Tell him f must have some men. He must give me his two policemen and mount them, Ool Run I I follow!" With s few more orders to the servant, he started for Rosemary would have followed, but he slopped her. "Walt here .with Za rlfa," he said. "I ll Meal 'with Me nebbhe. I can manage film best alone." Then, seeing the agony which distorted her fuce, he added, "I won't fall. Send the horses down to me; my men will come with them." Ap parently unhurried, he trotted down the path, but thut Jog of his covered the ground at an astonishing pace. While he ran he thought coherently and to the point. They would have no time to get round the top of the 8he Beat Against Helm's Door, Tear.

He knew the general plan, but oot the exact timing. Two things occurred to him. If the flood cut them off, Westwyn was done for. There would be no way to get a message across that torrent. On the other hand, they might get caught In It themselves. The ford would not he easy to find and the moon rose late. He swore violently. They'd d n well got to get across In time I Menebbhe met him on the threshold. "Allah keep us, what has hap pened?" In few words and with ad mirable lucidity. Ileitis', told hi in'. The old man's face congested. "Wnllahll That mun shall diet" he said. "I swear It by the head of my son." Rut he wasted no further time.
