Sonya sat rigidly in her saddle, her throat swelled painfully with the dark realization that her dream of love was done for, that this man whom she had come to love so helplessly was riding out of her life. She could not speak. At the mesa's foot they set out across the levels which were once more darkeuing Into a starlit night in dreary silence. And before they had said another word, before they could say that last farewell which comforts the heart bereaved, fate was upon them. Out of the shadows of a clump of Juniper four men suddenly rode across their way. Four men on good horses, clad In dark garments, their wide hats pulled low over their dark faces, guns frankly showing at their thighs. And at their head rode that huge figure of a man which had loomed on the dance floor that enchanted night and called Starr Stone as a master calls told for Busy Readers 18 TON'S OF SEED PLAN LARGE FAIR GAS TAXES LARGER I love SELLING TILL CATTLE LIVESTOCK TRICES IT He Gasoline tax reBOISE, ceipts Lave increased more than a half million dollars this year, compared with last year.

He sat now and looked at hira with black eyes burning in the gathering darkness. "Hombre," he said again as he had said before, "three times in as many days have I sent for you, and you did not come. This is the reason." He nodded toward Sonya. "Yes!" cried the girl like a shot though her voice shook. "Yes! I and a better one. I first, and the car ing for those who died, second. I am a doctor, and there has been a great sickness among my people, the Indians. This man has stood with me shoulder to shoulder in a One thing. Together we have saved many lives.

And this time Starr Stone, following, looked long In Sonya's white face with eyes In which all the tragedy of life lay stark and awful. Then-hwas gone, and only the soft sound of loping horses in sand came back to her. Until the dim shapes were lost in the night the girl sat still, listening, her mouth open, her hands on her rein cold and nerveless. That which threatened had struck at last. And presently she drooped forward with her face In Darkness' mane and fell to such weeping as only a heart cleaved to the quick can know. When she rode Into the patio at home an hour later a man came swiftly from the lighted doorway, his hands reaching up for hers, his face glowing with Joy. Dear heart!" he cried, "Sonya! and, "Rod !" said Sonya before she crumpled and slid limp Into his reaching arms. "She's fainted!" he cried. "Llla Serge quick !"

"Get me some water," she said. But Sonya, strong creature that she was, did not need It Her senses, reeling from grief and fear and the sudden sight of Rodney Blake, who was the last man she wanted to see In her present trouble, righted themselves swiftly. She moved, opened her eyes, sat up a bit unsteadily. "Why, what a silly thing!" she said tremulously. "And Bod how In the "Piffle !" said Sonya. "I'm all right bit tired. I guess."

We can thank Brlghara Young and his Mormon followers for the fact that we may now glibly say, "We're Ott to Zlon" instead of twisting our tongues around "Mukuntu-weap.- " Mukuntuweap Is a nice enough name, meaning "land of the springs," according to a Utah scholar, John W'allls, who has traced the name to Its Indian source. The name was given to this national park when It was first created by congress. That may be the reason that travelers were slow in discovering its wonders. They Just didn't know how to ask for it, like the man who would like to buy a wife a fancy French perfume but has to compromise on "violet," which he can pronounce. In 1918 President Wilson went back to the name originally given the region by Brlgham Young, Young and a band of his colonists looking for new territory came upon the shining domes, rainbow colors and unearthly shapes, and Immediately named it "Little Zion" as It seemed the one place on earth closest to the heavenly Zion.

That sweet flower of chivalry, the nt $180,000. flash. Inside Its shielding door she clasped her hands together, stood a long moment staring Into the darkness. The fight of life which she had vlsloned. of which she had spoken to Starr Stone, was on, and she had lost the first battle to that black force across the Border. A woman colnmlst, noted for her keen Insight into events and things, selects this subject for comment: The papers tell of a federal Judge In a New York courtroom who compelled the men to give women their Beats. A reader sends us the clipping, wondering what we think about It Here It is: "In a courtroom crowded to capacity with creditors and stockholders of the Ambassador Hotel corporation, Federal Judge J. M. Woolsey said recently: 'It seems to me that the men sitting over there should stand up and let the ladies sit down.' "When the men did budge, he added: 'Go oor there, marshals, and roust them out The marshals obeyed and the women sat down while the men grumbled quietly to themselves, saying they thought the order unfair." What do we think about It? Well, It all depends on what we women want. If what we want most is the seat a man occupies, then we should not Inquire too closely Into the method of taking It away from him. In this case they were, we must admit, questionable. Some of those men may have been more In need of a seat than any of the women to accommodate whom they were ousted. And some were probably there In the line of duty, while the women seated by the gallant Judge were merely spectators, presumably on pleasure bent. We repeat, if it's the seat only that Interests you, you will applaud the Judge whose motto is apparently under all circumstances, "Ladles First." If It Is chivalry on the part of men In this day nnd age that you care more about than the seat In court or subway or street car which they may have to give up to you, then you will not favor forcing them out of their seats. There is no romantic satisfaction In taking a man's seat if he has to be thrown out of it. And the compulsion Is hardly conducive to developing in him a greater gallantry.
