"I'm goin' aft­ er Curran, and there ain't no time to lose. If that snake gets away, there'll be no peace in the valley, no peace for you. darling. I got : to go." The night was clear, and though I there was no moon Dave could see his way clearly in the light of the MÄRJÖftlE MAIN stars. He was descending from the last mesa to the range when sud­ Ì“ J. CARROL NAISH denly he heard the sound of rid­ ers. He drew rein and listened. In another moment the riders ' came into sight, four men riding almost abreast But ihese men wore riding breeches, or trousers tied at the knee, not chaps, and it was light enough to see that they were not waddies. "Hold her there, teller!" shouted one of them, as he espied Dave rein in. Dave, sitting easily on the black, waited for the four to gallop up to him. There was no demand to eie- vate, but each of the four had his hand on his gun butt. It was the horse they recognized before the man. "Black Dawn!" shouted the fore- most. "Yeah, Sims, and I'm Dave Bruce.” answered Dave. "The sheriff told me this aiternoon he'd got four deputies ridin' around the mesa. Well, I want yuh fellers, and I want yuh pronto.” "Not so bad as I want you. PRESTON FOSTER • BRENDA JOYCE Bruce," said Sims. "Yuh best put up yore hands. Yuh can't shoot it out with the four of us.” plus "Sims, yore head seemed kind of thick to me when I saw yuh in Mescal.” said Dave. "Sheriff Coggswell and me trapped Loner­ gan and Curran in the shack at the end of the blind gully up there.” He pointed with his right They'll get hand toward the heights. "They'd lured Ferris there and you where killed him. Lonergan’s in cuffs, and it hurts Curran's got away. He's ridin' hell­ bent for the Cross-Bar house now. most... no doubt, to get his greaser gang. I'm after him.” "What the—! Lonergan? In cuffs? Yo're a slick talker, Bruce.” “Maybe, but every second we sjarrinq stay here talkin’ gives Curran a WALTER few yards more of leeway," ai f PANCIS-HUSTON swered Dave. frankW Thoma» “We got to git Curran, Sims, GLORIA WARFEN shouted one of the four. “That’s what the sheriff sent us here for.

But 1’11 take yore gun.” The five turned their horses and raced across the range. And soon the lighted bunkhouse of the Cross- Bar appeared, far out over the range. Between the house and the riders nothing was visible but the rolling grassland. They were nearing the ranch­ house now. They could see the sil­ houettes of men, passing and re­ passing in front of the door, blot­ ting out the lights as they moved. “He’s there," called Dave. "He’s gettin’ his crowd together. We got to take Curran alive. They’ll make a fight for it—” His words were cut short as a gun cracked at a distance of fifty yards. The five had been sighted, but the Mexican who had fired pre­ maturely had extinguished Curran's hopes of another ambuscade. As they paused for an instant to jam in fresh cartridges, Curran’s voice could be heard somewhere among _the shadows, cursing his men. There came another volley.

Back of that simple statement lies the story of Miss Cochrane’s ceaseless efforts to gain just that opportunity for American women. A few months ago, before the Air Trans­ port command organised its wom­ en s auxiliary (WATS), Mias Coch­ rane took a group of American women to England, where they have been doing fine work as ferry pilots. Now Miss Cochrane has t»een appointed director of women's flying training within the U.
