Show i THE SAUNA SUN. SAUNA, UTAH Manila News Sheets Are Many and Varied SUFFERED Manilus newest newspaper Is the Tribune, a morning sheet, published In English by Filipinos and under THE AMAZON "Nameless River" deals with the period when the cattle ranges were beginning to break up under the determined push of small farmers. Its heroine is a daughter of one of those lowly settlers and the chief incidents are derived from the efforts of a cattle outfit to get possession of the farmer's land. Many men figure In the story, but the principal elements of villainy are inspired by a singularly handsome but diabolical person known as Cattle Kate, the head of the breeding and grazing enterprise. Allison, the settler, meets his death and his son Is crippled for life under very suspicious circumstances. It devolves upon Nance Allison, the daughter, to carry on. Nance, under the Influence of farm work, handling horses and life in the open air, develops into an amazon, unusually handsome. Finally love comes to Nance and when the man she has chosen is menaced, primal instincts overcome for a time her religious scruples and Bhe becomes a tigress. Only the of circumstances Intervention prevent her tearing Kate to half-secon- d y rs pieces. Vlngle E. Roe (Mrs. Raymond Lawton), the author, was born In Oxford, Kan., lived and married in South Dakota and now resides in Napa, Cal. Such stories as "Primal Lure, Heart of Night Wind" and Nameless River" have placed her in the front rank of American tellers of tales. C. CHAPTER "D n !" said the woman. Did It? said Selwood.

Caught as a colt In the high meadows of the Upper Country beyond Deep Heart hills, the horse had served her faithfully for four of his seven years of life, and hated her sullenly. There was mixed blood In his veins wild, from the slim white mother who had never felt a rope; patrician, gentle, tractable, from the thoroughbred black father lost from a horse-tradestring eleven years back and sought for many bootless moons because of his great value. Swayed by the Instincts of these two strains the superb animal obeyed this woman who was unquestionably his master, though rebellion surged in him at every chastisement. For an hour the two came down along the breast of a ridge, dropping slowly in a long diagonal, and presently came out on a bold shoulder that jutted from the parent spine. Here, with the thinning trees falling abruptly away, a magnificent view spread out below. For a long time there had been in the riders ears a low and heavy murmur, a ceaseless sound of power. Now its source was visible the river that wound between wide meadows spread like flaring flounces on either side broad, level, green stretches that looked rich as a kings lands, and were. The woman reined up her horse and sitting sidewise looked down with moody eyes. A frown drew close the dark biws under the hat brim, the full sensuous lips hardened into a tight line. Hatred flamed in her passionate face, for the smiling valley was tenanted. At the far edge of the green floor across the river there nestled against the hills that rose abruptly the small log buildings of a homestead. There was a cabin, squarely built and neat, a stable, a shed or two, and stout corrals, built after the fashion of a 6toekade, their close-se- t upright saplings gleaming faintly in the light And on the green carpet a long brown line lay stretched from end to attestend, straight as a plumb-lining to the accuracy of the eye that I Fight for a Woman7 H I! If Twas th' Horse Now It was springtime in the Deep Heart country. On the broad slopes, the towering slants of the hills themselves, the conifers sang their everlasting monotone, turned by the little winds from the south. Great canyons cut the ridges, dark and mysterious, murmuring with snow water, painted fantastically In the reds and browns and yellows of their weathered stone. But in the sweet valleys that ran like playful fingers all ways among the hills, where lay tender grass of a laughing brightness, flowers nodded thick in the drowsy meadows. It was a lonesome land, set far from civilization, but beautiful withal, serene, silent, wild with crag and peak and precipice. Deer browsed in its sheltered places, a few timber wolves preyed on them, while here and there a panther screamed to the stars at night. For many years a pair of golden eagles had reared their young on the beetling escarpment that crowned Mystery ridge. It was a rich land, too, for many cattle ran on its timbered slants and grew sleek and fat for fall along the reaches of the river. On a day w hen all the world seemed basking in the tempered sun, a horse and rider came down along the slopes heading toward the west. On the broad background of this primeval setting they made a striking picture, one to arrest the eye, for both were reOf the two, perhaps the markable. horse would first have caught the attention of an observer, owing to Its great stature and its shining mouse-blu- e coat. Far off, also, the prideful graced Its carriage, the lightness, the arrogance of its step, would have been noticeable.

She rode at ease, her gaunt-letehands clasped on her pommel, her reins swinging. A blue flannel shirt, gay with pearl buttons, lay open at the throat and bloused a trifle above a broad lentlwr belt, well worn and studded with ulckel spots. A divided skirt of dark leather, precisely fitted and deeply fringed at the bottom, concealed the tops of high laced boots. All her clothing betokened especial make, and very thorough wear. As the blue horse sidled expertly down the slope a loose stone turned under his shod hoof, causing him to stumble ever so slightly, though he caught himself Instantly.
