MONTGOMERY THEM BETTER TIES rocks rose out of the growth of aspens that had been left standing by the timber cutters. Asper Erupted as he noted that all of the pine had been cut clean except for second growth and young stuff. The drag lines had wrought havoo with the country and It was eroding badly. Swergin was a bit too much of a close cutter, Asper observed, but he was able to handle the forest officials. As he rode along the rim he was able to stay under cover fairly well.

He proceeded with more caution as he got deeper Into the broken country. Brush and rock piles offered excellent hideouts and he knew he was at a disadvantage should Ball be lying In hiding where he had to pass. Dudley sat on the porch with Dona for half an hour. Then he went down to the corrals. He was eager to learn all he could and to get mors practice at riding.

Dona BORM THIPTIV tfeARS TOO S00b4. Clements Calls Big Local Show Outstanding County Fair in This Country By GEORGE P. CLEMENTS, M. D. Manager, Agricultural Department Lea Angelee Chamber of Commerce A decade ago, agricultural fairs were considered valuable only as mediums to accentuate competition between fanners and to encourage wholesome sectional rivalry In agricultural production and fair management The educational benefits were recognized, too, but were given less thought than now.

However, with the realization of the Interdependence existing between rural and urban peoples, a new objective has become the motivating spirit of agricultural fairs the value of these exhibits as mediums for the promotion of better relation between the city and the country. This has become particularly evident In California. Still another new factor of value Is being given Increasing importance, that of selling the area to prospective eetUers, for agricultural fairs are the show windows of agriculture, and reflect Its status, good or bad. The Los Angeles County fair management Is to be complimented on their early recognition of these new objectives In fair display, and the resourcefulness with which they have brought these new values to the front without losing eight of the original purposes of agricultural fairs. They have assumed leadership In exhibition progress, meeting the needs of agriculture, cNew H5w Business Review for State Shows Many Encouraging Signs, Bank Report There are many encouraging signs, says the Bank of America business review, released today by the bank's analysis and research department.

Ball announces he Is making a personal check. Dele says he will personally see that he does not make the check. Leaving the office, Stan sayes a girl from kidnapers. Sha proves to to be Dona Delo, AspeKs daugh-When 8tan learns her name he tells her he is Stanley Blaok and slips away. Dudley Winters, in love with Dona, agrees to go to Three Rivera and bring Asper back.

Dona goes with him and at a little ranch place on the way Dudley puts a plan of marriage to Dona, hoping she will take this plan of getting Asper Delo to return, 8he agrees but holda back when 8tan Ball, on hla way to Three Rivers, steps out of the night and kisees her. At Three Rivers they meet Swergin, Aspsre timber boss, and he says he Is ready to kill Ball, that Ball shot a ranger. Dona decides to ride In the hunt for Ball. 8he catches a bad horse and has to try to ride him to keep up er pride. Dona rides the roan.

Swergin tella her she must not ride without a guard as Ball Is a killer and is at large. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX Dona and Malloy rode around the corrals and 'when they were well out of sight of the main buildings above them the cowboy swerved to the left. They doubled back, fol lowing a wash that hid them from the camp. Dona had slipped the carbine loose In Its scabbard. Malloy rode ahead with a careless swing that spoke of years In the saddle and the girl noticed that he carried no rifle but had a heavy six gun in a worn holster at his hip.

They were climbing out of the wash when a rider galloped from the timber and descended upon them amid a rattling shower of rocks. The rider was Swergin and he was angry. You take this girl back to camp," he shouted. 'Til ride along to see that you do It. Tou better not try any more sneaking tricks on me!" Malloy sat hla horse and an amused grin pulled at the corners of bis wide mouth.

He looked at Dona for acceptance or refusal and it was plain that what she wanted would be done. For a moment she considered. Her rapid appraisal of Swergin told her that he would not at the same time satisfying the demands of those who sell to agriculture, those who are attracted by farm displays vicarious farmers, so to speak and prospective settlers on Los Angeles countys rich farming lands. Encompassed In a setting of In comparable beauty, these objectives, practical as well as esthetic, have made the Los Angeles County fair the outstanding exhibition of its kind In the country.

With a smile she motioned to her escort that they would go back. They rode In silence to the camp where Swergin ordered their horses put away. Dona made no protest and she felt Malloys eyes on he- as he dismounted.

She was not yet ready to put Swergin In his place. Dudley was at the corral and It was plain that he was angry. He had a better horse saddled and bad been asking questions of the corral boy. Dona felt a pang of conscience and was glad she bad come back. Dudley would soon learn to ride and she must not treat him as tho she did not want him.

He dismount- An accusing light came into ride to Pass Cree!" he said. ed and they walked up to the main building together. Trying to ditch me?" he asked. His voice was level. "No, Dud, but I wanted to take a real ride." Dona was truly sorry.

"Im going to ride out after you every time you leave camp. Maybe Ill make a good target but I refuse to be treated like a ten-year-old," Dudley said testily. "It is foolish for you to ride out alone or with any of the men," Dona protested. You've never been In the mountains and youve never ridden or used a rifle. This man, Ball, Is bad and hd is desperate." She laid a hand on his arm.

"You should see now, Dud, that I am at home In this country and as able as a man to take care of myself." Dudley caught her hand and faced her about He looked deep Into her eyes. dont want to be a rotter. Dona, but you have me at a disadvantage. It Isnt fair. What chance have I to be a man In your eyes unless I get out with the others and share the danger? I can't lie around camp." He captured her other hand.

Dona met his ardent gaze and did not try to free herself. For a long minute they looked Into each others eyes and Dona felt tho old thrill begnning to lay hold of her heart. Sbj felt the same fear, too, that would not let her be swept away by Dudley's eager glance. Swergln's voice rose from the corral where he was talking to Malloy. "Anybody that is fool enough to ride up the Pass Creek trail will get a bullet from the bushes! That's where Glllete got it.

Swerglns voice dropped to a snarl. It was plain that he was laying down or-, ders to Malloy. The cowboys answer could not be heard but it evidently had an edge of Its own as Swergin burst forth in a fresh spurt of anger. An accusing light came into Dudleys eyes. "You were going to ride to Pass Creek," he said, jerking Dona a little In his Impatience.

She nodded. waa foolish, I guess, but It didn't seem so dangerous to me. "The next time you tide I go with you," he stated flatly. Asper Delo did not ride with the posse. He set out by himself with his rifle across his saddle.

At the edge of the clearing surrounding the camp he pulled up beside a pile of logs. A man was working with an ax beside the pile, Asper hailed him. Can you tell me where to hit the trail to Pass Creek?" he demanded. The man straightened and looked Asper over. It was plain that he did not recognize his employer.

"Up to the red Mm." The man pointed to where a rim of red rocka broke out of the timber above. "Then a mile along the rim and youll hit the trail. Takes you down a little canyon and thru a strip of broken country." The man bent his gaze on the bit of his ax and prepared to return to his work. Asper rode on at a brisk pace. As he neared the red rim he began taking all the cover he could and slowed his pace.

SEE OR TELEPHONE AGENT Dudley's You nere going to watched him idly. Her mind was busy with many thoughts.

A man rode up and halted and Dona remembered him as one of the posse. "Is my father, Mr. Delo, with your men?" she called. The man shook his head. "He didnt go out with us.

I'm looking for Swergin. Have you seen him?" Dona replied that the timber boss had been at the corrals and the mar rode on. By this time Dudley had a horse saddled and had mounted. Dona watched him ride around the corral and down the slope. She smiled.

Dudley was game all right and eager to show her he was her equal. Then a disturbing thought crept into her mind. Had her father decided to ride the Pass Creek trail? Her own decision, prompted Swergln's warning, made her almost sure that he had. And he had gone alone. That was tha very thing he had wanted to do, to meet Ball single-handed and have It out.

The thought so upset her that she left the porch and headed for the corrals. She did not find Malloy or Swergin there but she saw the rider who had halted at the porch. He was turning his horse loose and dragging a saddle to the fence. She waited until he had gone, then entered the corraL Certainty that her father was In danger made her hurry. She caught the roan without trouble and swung the heavy saddle to his back.

Hs seemed to have accepted her as master and did not fight when she mounted. Dona rode straight across the clearing in the direction In whlch Malloy had indicated that. Pass Creek lay. Seeing a man working at a pile of logs, she halted to ask directions. He straightened and looked at her curiously.

He was Spanish and deliberate in his speech, TTp to the red rim, then a mile along the rim and you hit the trail, pointed a sun-darkened arm toward the upper slopes. As an afterthought he added. "One rider went that way a half hour ago. "Was he a big man on a gray horse? Dona asked. The man nodded and tried the edge of his ax blade on his thumb, then returned to his chopping.

Dona put the roan to a gallop and headed toward the red rim. She was sure now that her father had ridden straight Into the locality whe Ball was hiding. She did not pause to consider the danger into which she might be riding. She was sure Asper would ride slowly and that shs could overtake him. Her plan was simple.

She would catch up with him and he would return to camp rather than risk danger to her. She was so taken with this plan that she promised herself she would ride with him every day. That would be sure to keep him out of dangerous territory. The trail became more broken and she entered rough country. Finally she reached the end of the rim and swung to the left down Into the narrow canyon.

She had not ridden a quarter of a mile down this trail until she realized that It was extremely dangerous for a hunter to follow. A man could hide above 1 E. Campbell, T. P. Agt.
