Stella nodded absently. Very probably this was true. But "And Barker?" she Questioned. "Barker? Don't yoo worry about him. When he gets here with the padre I'll Just bump blm off. And then the padre can marry as. See?" Stella's brows contracted. She had seen more than one man killed In action, and she bad grown more or less callous to blood letting. But she bad never seen one assassinated. More than anything else. Wade's calm explanation made her realize that Fair's denunciations of the members of the gang of thieves and murderers were Justified. "You mean you'd shoot Barker down without giving him a chance?" she demanded. "Sure I would. What you chewln the rag about? You'd shoot blm your self to get away from him Just as you tried to shoot me ten minutes ago. wouldn't you? Well, I'll take the Job off your hands." Stella nodded. rres, I would shoot him If I had to," she admitted, slowly. "But that's different" "Humph! What's the difference?" Stella hesitated. That there was a difference, she knew; but she found It hard to state It "If you can't see It for younselt" she said at last "I guess there's no use my trying to explain. No, I won't marry you, B1IL And I won't marry Barker, either. But If you'll give me back my gun I'll fight my way past him; and If he tries to stop me Til shoot him. Give me my gun, please, Bill I" She held out ber hand Imploringly. "Yes I will not I" Wade's face darkened and the veins In his forehead stood blackly out His real nature, concealed except for his plan In regard to Barker for a moment beneath a mask of good, nature, glared bleakly out "You'll marry me before you leave this house," be rasped. "I've given you a fair chance an you've turned me down. Now I'm going to fix things so you'll have to marry me. And when Barker gets here I'm going to fix hira for good and alL Gel me?" Head projecting, eyes glaring, lips curling back from his teeth, he ad vanced upon the girl. affection of a daughter. Jim Barker, sheriff and aspirant for Stella's hand, directs Fair to run a ehlpment of arms Into Mexico and bring back whisky. Unknown to Fair, Stella, dressed as a boy, accompanies the gang. The bandits' errand Is successful and the party returns to Barker's ranch. Stella refuses proposal of marriage by Wade, Barker's lieutenant. CHAPTER IV Continued her. "Look Here Wade found here, kiddo," he said, perching on the table close to ber chair. "I ain't got - a thing against you; Just the contrary. But Barker wants you; an he's the real bead of the gang. That dad of yours was a mighty good man In his time; but he's played out; he's lost his pep. An' what Barker says goes." Stella's Hps curved. "Does Itt" she asked, scornfully. "Maybe you'll And you're banking on a dead card. Then you'll be sorry for this misguided Muff. Anyway, we'll seel" "Sure we will. That's what I'm fceepln' yon here for.

Stella was really a woman, though she bad always posed as a boy; and In the emergency she flew, to the tra dltlonal weapons of her sex. "Oh, shucks. Bill," she scoffed.

By EDWARD PICKARD Italian aviators, Captain Fer-- pWO rarln and Major Del Prete, starting from Rome In a Savoia monoplane, headed for South America on a nonstop Bight reached Brazil in safety, establishing a new record. When they landed near Port Natal they had flown about 4,485 miles, bettering the distance record of 3,909 miles made by Chamberlin and Levine by about 576 miles. These aviators already held the duration flight record of 58 hours, 83 minutes and 26 seconds. When the flyers passed over St Vincent Cape Verde islands, approximately 3,000 miles from Rome, they had been up 22 hours with the re markable average of more than 135 miles an hour. They made the 1,600 miles from there across the south Atlantic ocean at almost equal speed; On the way they were in radio communication with the steamship Phtlarua ana said all was well with them. The flight was made under the auspices of tne Italian military aviation service. W. d ONE of the extraordinary tragedies .. Avlfltlnn sw.iut.A4 Inc., 1. over the North sea. Capt Alfred Loew- ensteln, world famous Belgian finan cier and rated as one of the wealthiest men In the world, disappeared from his Fokker plane In which he was crossing from Croydon,' England, to Brussels. It was believed that he had mistaken the door by which passengers left the plane for the one to the washroom, and, opening the former, stepped off Into space and fell Into the sea. Loewensteln's wealth was estimated to be only less than that of Henry rora ana trie icockefellers. He controlled steamship lines, was one of the chief stockholders In the Belgian railway system, owned man ganese Iron mines In Silesia, steel furnaces In the north of Spain, coal properties In the Saar basin and In the Ruhr, and Immense rubber plantations In the Congo. . Two years ago he startled the world by offering the Bel gian government a loan of $30,000,000 for two years without Interest In or- der that the Belgian franc might be stabilized. The offer was refused. Shortly after this he offered to lend France a like amount at Interest of 2 per cent Quite recently Captain Loewensteln spent several weeks In the United States and Canada on business, traveling most of the time by airplane. ue was an enthusiast on aviation and owned a number of big planes which were equipped with olllce desks and carried a staff of secretaries so he could work while flying. Immediately after the capitalist's was reported there disappearance were rumors that be had committed suicide because of financial embarrassment following bis recent failures to obtain large loans. These stories were denied and were succeeded by reports that ha was secretly landed In France from his plane and had been met by an automobile which took hiro to a place of retreat. On European stock exchanges the Loewensteln shares fell rapidly. OECRETART J In OF HOOVER COMMERCE spent Independence day rest and quiet recreation, but gave tip the rest of the week to prepsra-tlonfor his departure from Washington, winding up with a conference oo Saturday with prominent eastern Republicans for the purpose of establish Ing a campaign organization In that section of the country. It was announced that Mr. Hoover would de liver his resignation from the cabinet to President Coolidge at the summer White House on Tie Brule river. Fur ther than thai his plans were not made public.

Then he went to Albany to attend to state business. His plans called for a campaign conference with Senator Robinson, his running mate, and the Democratic national committee this week. Governor Smith also will be notified of his nomination early In August and It Is asserted that In his ppeech of acceptance he will make a further pronouncement on bis position In the matter of Until prohibition. then he declined to reply to Josephus Daniels, who, while calling on all Democrats to support Sirith. said. Al had not been given any leadership by the Democratic party to seek to change the Volstead act and that any attempts to weaken the prohibition laws must be fought in congress. trnest H. Cherrington, general sec retary of the World League Against Alcohol and a leader In the Anti- Saloon league, . Issued a summons to ail friends of prohibition to unite against Smith, asserting that the country faces "what promises to be the greatest 'wet and dry' battle that the nation has ever seen." Nationul Pro hlbltion party chiefs seemed to be at outs as to the party's national conven lion called for July 10 and 11 in Chi cago. Some desired to nominate some prominent dry Democrat preferably rrora the bouth, while others believed it would be best to Indorse Hoover. The league, scheduled to hold a convention In Ashevllle, N. C, at the same time, was said not to be at all with the Prohibi tion party. if there is dissension among the drys, there Is still greater disagreement among the men who profess to be the leaders of the Middle-Wes- t farmers. Gov. Adam McMuIlen, Republican, of Nebraska ; George N. Peek, chairman of the corn belt com mittee formed in 1926, and some others declared the Democratic plank on farm relief was satisfactory to agricultur ists and far superior to the Republican plank, and they predicted the corn belt farmers would vote for Smith. A counterblast came promptly from Sen ator Brookhart and Governor Ham- mlll of Iowa, who accused Peek of double crossing Lowden and denied me assertions that the farmers were Meanwhile men going Democratic. who think they know the mind of the farmer continue to assert that those who have been Republicans In the past will support Hoover, and those who have been Democratic will cast their votes for Smith.
