MONTANA AGAIN ONE mora dose of water to flow Into the distorted body and there would be an end, but the gen eral did not wish It to be so. He bad staked bis cards on bis Immense surety, and bis threats and bis tor tures bad drawn only one speech from the outlaw. He had called Es trada a dog and a eon of a dog. And now be was to die, triumphant. It was against this triumph In death that the soul of the general revolted. And then he told himself, In an interval of Impassioned cursing, that he bad been a tool to think that he could wear down such a spirit as that of Rubrii In a single session. No, little by little the steel of tbls spirit must be ground away until It was thin and brittle enough to snap under a Anger's weight. And when the general considered how tbe grinding should be performed, he could think of only one safe and per fect place, because there was only one ultimate, man-made hell earth. That was the Valley of the Dead, from which fuola whispered that Miguol Santos had escaped. They were fools because no man ever escaped from the Valley. And that was tbe perfection of Its bell Its hopelessness. Out of Us bounds no one was ever pardoned, because the tales which could have been told by the saved would bave blackened tbe face of tbe entire world. And when the general arrived at this conclusion, be looked suddenly up with an exaltation of bis spirit. There la no absolute bate without fear Intermingled, and during the long process of the torture, he bad begun to hate his victim because be could not help being struck through with a cold apprehension now and again: suppose tbat tbe man ahould live should contrive an escape from the fort should be able at aome time to come Inside Its boun daries once more Well, tbe Valley of the Dead could receive him and bold blm forever. Should not such be the fate of those weaker creatures who ven ture to oppose men of destiny, like Ignaclo Estrada? FOR one whole day, Montana fled Into the mountnlns away from Duraya. Then, tor two days, he lived a quiet. Idyllic life In the wilder ness. He bad found a bit of a valley, above timber line, where the forage was good for Bally and where he himself could catch tat fish out of a foolishly small creek. He would He prone tor hours un der the shade of a rock during the day. He had that rare faculty of stopping all thought, almost all sen satlon, and permitting the river of time to pick up the soul and carry It slow or fast through strange countries. At night he built two small fires of brush and lay between them, warm, comfortable on a bed of leaves and wiry little bushes.

Or else be would go with Sally for a careless cruise through the plateaus of that high country where the keen sweetness of the air gave to the body a senso of spiritual purity. The rider was always at ease, on those journeys because the wild mare was capable of being the guide and tho scout. But at the end of the third day since the flight from Duraya, Mon tana turned back again towards tbe town. A steady preoccupation made a dark undercurrent continually In his mind. Where was rtuhrlz? What had happened to him? The question would lift him from sleep to wakefulness In tbe middle of the night, and it rode behind him all day long. THAT sense of duty unperformed was not a familiar thing to Mon tana. He had lived as tree as tbe wind; but savage Mateo Rubrlz bod laid a grip on bis mind and his heart. He had to return the treasure that was in his possession; but above all, he had to And out what bad become of his companion In tho robbery. ' He took two days, coming down from his high place. And once a day, at high noon, he took the golden ornament with tho emeralds In the palm of his hand. He turned It so tbat tho Jewels Dickered and glared at him like a flvo-uyed cat, and then he put the thing awny again In Its chamois wrapping. , He wondered how long It would take for the Jewels to enter bis blood and become a necessity to him? As to his strength to resist, he knew that there was a border and a boun dary beyond which he cr- not P5S5. That was why he wns glad to see Durnyn, white as snow, with the sunset gold of Its river looped around. ; He left the mare In a hollow at the verge of tho town and made her He down. There she would romaln, according to his teaching, like a young faun left by Its mother, until be came again. And he went on Into the town In the early night, forgetting all dan gers, gladdening himself with the sounds of human beings again, and the scent of the pungent Mcxlonn cookery. It was a night of festival. The en tire populntlon had gathered In the street that ran past the fort, past the church, past the bishop's palace. So he mado a half-mask from the lining of his coat and entered the strong current of noise which flowed along the street. At last ho came to the bishop's palace and from the doorway looked back on the scene, tho lanterns, tho laughter, tho faces whoso Joy could not be masked. He forgot his dnngor still farther. It was a cold stream, but It was no higher than his ankles. He began to laugh, himself, and he was still laughing as ho went up the stnlrs.

ITALY HARD HIT BY BIG DROP IN TOM TRADE Slump in Dollar Value Keep ing Americans Home Emigrant Remittances to Fatherland Also Lower By Thomas B. Morgan United Press Staff Correspondent. ROME. (UP) Italy suffered ft toas at nearly two billion of lire In tourist trade between 1929 and 1934. At the beginning of the world crisis In 1929. nearly two and ft half billion lire a year was spent In Italy by tour ists. In each of the succeeding years thla sum decreased till at the end of 1933 It was reduced to leas than a billion lire. It Is estimated that the flgurea for 1914 hardly will reach six hundred million lire. Yearly Drop In 1020. only 15 per cent of the two and a half billion lire spent by tour ists In Italy wa left by Americans. In 1933 the percentage of the total amount of American tourists ha :I dropped to 12. This year not more than 45.000,000 lire have been spent by Americana In Italy.

Another loss has been in the emigrant remit tances to the Postal Savings bank. In 1930 the remittances were nearly three hundred and twenty million lire of which over seventy per cent came from the United States. In 1933 tie remittance from all countries hatl dropped to 147,000.000 lire. Americans Quit Travel t The decrease in the American tour ist trade which on- waa over 30 per cent of the total, (comprising th permanent residents' expenditures in the country) has had more effect in bringing about this unfavorable tour ist balance than any other nation, but the restriction of, German money In 1033 also had enormous conse quences. In a comparison of costs between big cities like Rome and New York, food costs are less In New York. Rents, however., are higher In Ne-.7 York, except for the lower classes, than In Rome; this probably Is due to the forced decrease of rents by the Italian government tn April, 1933. On the whole the comparative cost of living la more expensive In Italy than In America. It U undoubtedly on this account, even more than due to the fall cf the dollar, that Ameri cans are not traveling to Italy.
