And then she came to the canyon's mouth and caught her breath sharply, for a man sat there on a golden horse! He looked like a young god with the sunlight on his hair, and his eyes as blue us the heavens, and the grave look on his handsome face. "Forgive he," he said quickly, "for being In your trail again." "Why?" she said as quickly. "It Is free country." "Yes, I know. But I promised to stay away." "That was from Lone Mesa." "The Intent was everywhere.

I came upon him taking the children, not so many weeks back very near the end of the term and the parents are 'wild Indians. They don't understand either the necessity or the methods employed in the matter of giving up their children, and I begged off the littlest one from Mr. Satter. The mother had run herself nearly into collapse, hanging on the buckboard's tail. She Is In a serious condition now, with the grief over their disappearance. Doesn't eat Looks awful. And Mr. Satter had forgotten to tell them where to come for the children. It Is rather hard, when you think of It, on parents, you know, either red or white.

Sonya felt cold, as If a wind of portent had blown across her spirit And swift on Its heels a sadness came, the odd, unaccountable feeling of personal loss and sorrow which had assailed her that night at Myra's. She shook herself, mentally and actually, and was angry at herself again, and when this man spoke she listened, forgetting.

Sonya sat and looked at him steadily, her sweet face grave too. He bore her scrutiny quietly, though a muscle twitched In his cheek, and there was a seeming of strain ln his face.

"I oh, I don't know!" said Sonya, trembling, "only I know you've got to stop stop that Border stuff. That you've got to change the leopard spots."

A small gray ship slipped down directly over their heads and dropped to a landing on the desert out beyond. The man took one look, and reaching out an arm, he pushed Sonya and Darkness back into the canyon's mouth, Un d'Oro shielding them both. The touch of his breast against her shoulder, the scent of him, tobacco and sweat, the nearness of his bronze cheek, Bent a wave of weakness over the girl "Get hack !" he rasped, "for th' love Go ln deep, please, an' of heaven! don't come out till It's gone." Then he had struck his heels to Un d'Oro's ahining flanks and was out like a flash across the sand. For a moment Sonya sat where he had left her, shaking as with a chill, bewildered and a little scared. What was this? What had driven the blood from his face? And why did he go straight to the plane If be was frightened? Here was the answer to some of ber questions, that she knew instinctively. If only she could go out there herself I She could not even see from where Darkness stood, so prompt and so efficient had been his action. But she must see. Sonya's lips set as they did when she faced a crisis for her skill, and she dismounted and, dropping Darkness' rein, went forward carefully the few steps that separated her from the sheer edge of the canyon's mouth.

The American people have long been convinced that tha Insanity plea In criminal courts Is decidedly-overworkeIt Is gratifying and cot a little surprising, therefore, says the St, Paul Dispatch, to learn that the psychiatrists, whose science has contributed most to the furthering of the Insanity plea, are now makinr an attempt to close this loophole in the law. At a recent annual meeting of the American Psychiatric association in New York a committee report was read advocating radical reforms in legal and penal procedure in capital cases ln which a plea of Insanity had been entered by the defendant It was recommended that "the Judge shall eliminate all evidence of the mental condition of the defendant ex cept such evidence as makes the mental disease so obvious a lay Jury can understand it." Time and agala Juries have been mystified by tha clinical subterfuges and technicalities of insanity pleas ln criminal trials. On too many occasions tha twelve good men and true have beea overwhelmed by psychological and have permitted Justice to be cheated. To the ordinary run of citizens who make up Jury panels there nra mentally only two kinds of people, the normal and the crazy.
