A RAPID-FIRE ROMANCE V.EVAN EVANS r Sl'.VorSiS: The emerald crown of Ovr Lady hat been stolen by tht governor of the provtncf, and Brother I'aecual hat gone to the quirotlo Mexican bandit, Mateo Rubric, for help in recovering it. But Rubrit toys that Montana, "Rl Keed" in Mexico, it the only man vho canU help him. Montana it alnut to marry the u-ealthy Ruth Lavery : he tt alto about to break hit promise not to ride a wild mare on the I.avery ranch. Ratrtial and Rvlrix start north to tee him. Chapter Fire, BRONCHO BUSTING rOWN In the corral, Tombstone Joe walked backward! and looked orer the mare. Now that he had snubbed her against the poat, other men were blindfolding her, working on bridle and saddle. Ran- eome, the gray-headed ranch fore- tun, was in charge of this business. "What you think of her. Tomb stone?" asked Ransome. "Half dynamite and half wildcat," said Tombstone. "She's too pretty to be good." Said the Montana Kid, from tbe fence: "You don't hitch on to a streak of lightning and ask Is It good. You ask how far It'll take you." Tombstone turned sharply around to rebuke the speaker. Then he saw that It was the Kid, and Instead of answering he rubbed his Jaw, slowly, as though he had been hit there on day. The Kid did not smile. His brown, handsome face remained perfectly calm, but as he stared at tbe mare the blue of his eyes burned paler nd brighter continually. He pushed his hat hark from his forehead and ... spurs but after the second jump lie was pulling leather like t tender foot caught In a horse-storm. This was a tornado. It rushed as though It would tear down the fence. It turned as though it would here a hole through the ground. And Tomb stone sailed out of the saddle side wise. He struck the corral soil, raised a (hut, struck It again, and lay limp and still. Three nooses settled over the neck of the mare and held her as she tried to get at the fallen rider and aarage him. Some one crawled under the fence and dragged Tombstone to safety. Some one else emptied a can teen oyer the upturned face of Tomb stone. After a while he breathed. Then he stood up. "She foxed me that time but I'll get her the next try," he said. Ransome, the foreman, said to tht Kid, "Well, what you think!" "She's a sweetheart," said ths Montana Kid. He eased himself down from tht fence. The side of the fence he wai on was the inside. They were snubbing the man close up to the post again. Ransome grabbed Montana's arm. "Look out," he said. "Don't yon bs a damn fool. Keep away from temp tatlon." TUB Kid looked down at Ran some's hand. Ransome took II away. showed the blue-black of sleeked hair. He was so dark that he looked almost like a Mexican. Only, In mo menta of excitement the blue of his eyes turned bright and pale. He was like the mare big, but with sinews and proportions that made him look wlft and light. "This here streak," said Tomb tone, "It'll take you far, all right; it'll take you to hell, but It might leave you there." s The Kid tapped the ashes from his clgoret and made no answer. Hla eyes were on the mare. She waa wait ing patiently, submitting to the darkness that enveloped her eyes, muffled her thought And yet there was danger In her patience. The Kid knew It. He kept tasting ,her strength and her speed as he 'had tasted them since the day when the started with many mon on her 'trail. The length of that trail had caused the third postponement of his !tnarrlago with Ruth Lavery. "pHE bridle and tbe saddle were adjusted. Tombstone mounted gingerly. Many falls had taught him shameless caution. He almost acted like a msn afraid. "Let her go," he said, quietly. The bandage from her eyes, the rope from her neck, were Instantly disengaged. And the mare shot at the sky. Nobody spoke. Thoy had all seen an Infinity of horse-breaking, but this waa not the same thing. They stiffened on the fenceposts. They looked with great eyes, seeing and thinking. Horses have to he broken, hut the mare looked like Reality and the man looked like the Reast. He was a frightened Beast. There was no pretense of the dashing, cava lier ride which a cowpuncher tries to show at a rodeo. Tombstone llarted that war, silting straight up, raking the mare fore and aft with Tombstone saiieu cu of the saddle. "We'll Just have a look-see," said the Kid. "You been and promised Miss Ruth!" said Ransome. huskily. "Did I?" said the Kid, absently. He walked around the front of tin mare and looked Into her eyes; She waa quiet. The only thing abe had learned was the burn of ropes, and she did not fight. Not outwardly. The devil was quiet In her, waiting. Some one said, from the fence, "He could handle lire, but not that Are." Another man said: "What's her name? What you gunna call her, Montana?" "You better call her before you'n dead," said another. "Her name's Sally," said the Kid, gently. He smiled beautifully at the men on tbe fence. He included them all In the gentleness of his glance. They feared him so much that they almost hated him; but because they loved him, also, no man smiled back. "Why call her Sally?" asked Ran some, the foreman. "I knew a gal called Sally once," said the Kid. "Did she look like this mare?" asked Ransome. 'She wore black silk stockings all around, like this one," said the Kid, gently. Tombstone Joe was fitting himself carefully Into the saddle. Montana said, "Watch her, Joe." "Who the hell la giving me ad vice?" asked Tombstone. Something hit the ground, slither Ing sldewlse, plowing up the dust With the last flopping turn It ap peered as the body of a man. The clothes were white with dust. The face was black with It. Up on the veranda the girl screamed, but no one turned to look towards her. She had not screamed because Tombstone was on tht ground., sprawling. The cry cams from her when she saw Montana leave the fence as a puma leaves a hough for a kill. (Copyright, t3, Ittrper 4 Brtthertl Thsrs It snt lM wilt mart, tt-mtrrtw. L BIDS ARE EYED PORTLAND.

" E DR. PUSH'S SUBJECT AT LI ROUGH HOUSE Dr. C. H. Paske waa the principal Apeaker at the weekly luncheon of the Kl wants club held yesterday noop, giving an Interesting talk on "Folk lore of Dentistry." The speaker said that the facf that teeth do not grow Into the body until some time after birth lends a mysti cism which la also evident In the study of teeth for character read ing, which has been carried on to considerable extent in France. Dr. Paske said It Is believed by many that If teeth are set far apart one will travel, while If they are close, one will stay at home. The speaker declared that In Africa If a baby is born with a tooth In Its mouth. It Is Immediately killed, and that the coming of teeth In msny other .countries Is the occasion for elaborate religious r:tes. Dr. Paske said that just as the present race Is equipped with one less tooth than were man's early predecessors, so fu ture generations will have still one less Jaw tooth..
