THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT.. THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1928. BEGIN HERE TODAY Finding the lifeless bodies of his two partners at their gold-mining camp, Harry Gloster flees southward, knowing that he will be accused cf the crime. On the way Gloster saves the life of a stranger, Lee Haines, from the murderous hands of a scoundrel by the name of Joe Macarthur. "Joan" lives with an old recluse, away and rides to a schoolhouse several miles distant, where a dance is in progress. On the way home she carries on a romantic conversation in the shadow of thickets with the outlawed Harry Gloster and then rides away at a gallop before Gloster can ap-• proach her. Gloster is jailed after getting into a fight with several men over a girl. Lee Haines interviews him in jail. And now Joan is trying to auction off her horse, Peter, to secure bail for Gloster. , NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY She paused and drew another breath. "I have to sell him," she said sadly, "to tome man who'll be kind to him, I know. For who could he'p being kind to Peter?" She paused again with a hand extended frankly, as though to invite them into her perfect convdence in all mankind, and there was a little sway and stir in the crowds as every man vainly strove to get closer.

But the voice of Joan halted thi saving: "Five hundred is what I na Who offered that?" "I!" came the shout, and there w six voices in it. She shook her head, bewKderoi. "Who offered it?" she asked. "I offered it," said Jud Carter, pushing his gaunt form through the crowd. "Then Peter is yours!" There was a shout of protest from the others. "He was up for the highest bidder, lady! Ycu got to sell him that way." "But five hundred," she argued, "is all that I need--poor Peter! Good bye!" A wave of grief called her atbeni from the men to the horse beside her, and the demands of the higher d?rs were suddenly forgotten. "And here," said Jud Carter, climb-ipx to her side, "is the coin. Lucky I had it handy with me!" He removed his hat with a flourish, very conscious that he was making picture which would be long remar bered. and not at all aware that would be remembered mostly because it was ridiculous in the contract of the slender girl, graceful as music, with his bonv, work-twisted body, a: leaned above her. She took the money, rewarded poor Jud with a trembling smile, and then threw her arms around Peter. A gaping crowd faw the tears tumble out of her ©yes, saw her lift his head and press her cheek against his muzzle, and then she was gone, while Peter rounded by a clamorous crowd, laughing, roaring out a hundred comments. But Joan had hurried down the street with a step as free and athletic as the stride of a boy. And so she the courthouse and the city hall, combined in one wide, low-fronted building. From the old pensioner at the door she asked the way to Judge Conley's office, and the ancient un-kinked his back and strode grinning beside her until he had brought her to the sanotum of the judge himself. "They are all kind," thought Joan as she entered the office of the judge. "All these men are so gentle, I wonder why my mother wanted to keep me away from them? Why could it be?" So she stood in front of Judge Con-ley who, as he turned in his swivel chair, was encountered by the eloquent wink of the old man who was just closing the door. Therefore, the judge, to cover a responsive grin, had frown and clear his throat, a proceeding which made Joan back a step ' He seated her in another moment, however. And when all the wrinkles were out of his forehead, it seemed to Joan that he was like all the rest of his kind--overflowing with goodnature and eagerness to help her. And as he drew the chair out of the shaft of sunshine and waved her into it, he remained leaning over it with hand rested on the arm. It brought him so close to Joan that she had to lean farther back 'chair to smile up at him. But smile she did, although there was a wild riot of fear and hope and grief- I handy packs for 5° Here is a treat that can't be beat! Benefit and pleasure in generous measure!

"And what's the trouble now?' asked. "What's the trouble, since thing but trouble brings people to Let's start right in with your n and then we'll go through with the rest of the story." "Joan Daniels," she answered. The judge recoiled, struck the back of his knees against the edge of his ivel chair and sat down heavily hin it. The force jogged the spectacles low on his chin, and the knowl-dge that he had appeared ungraceful made him scowl to recover his lost ground. said he, "then you're that I've heard of--that lives all by herself with a silent man f< ther? Well, well! I've heard a good deal about you!" She shook her head, saying that sh( did not know who could have talked about her, because she knew no one, but she had heard that he was the whom one came when one wished to pay bail. "A bail!" exclaimed the judge, arting in his chair, and then rocking far back in it until his short legs swung clear of the floor. "Bail? Who devil--I mean, what bail do want to pay?" His violence drove some of the color ,t of Joan's cheeks, and as she stared him, he sat forward again and managed to reach out and pat her "There, there," he said. "I didn' >an to frighten you. Whose bail do you want to pay?" She swallowed'. "There is a man who was arrested st night. I think he's called Sandy Williams--" She saw the face of the judge darken. 'My dear--IVliss Daniels," said the judge, "what interested you in him?" 't tell you that," she admitted. "But here I have the money to pay-- the whole five hundred, you see!" And she leaned forward, her eyes bright with delight. The judge, how-paid not the slightest heed to the money. Instead, he picked up a yellow telegraph slip from the desk beside him and extended it toward her. i The brief remainder danced into a smudge of black. CHAPTER XII. THROWING DICE WITH DEATH. News came hobbling out to the citizens of the town in the form of an old man, who was the office boy. janitor, and all-round messenger boy of the courthouse. How he obtained this news no one could' guess, for certainly Judige Con-ley had not told him. But perhaps the walls in that building were overly thin, or else keyholes were overly At least it was this old man who first bore tidings of how Joan Daniels had some with $500, bail to get "Sandy Williams" free; and of how the judge had placed before her a gram announcing that Williams no other than a certain Harry Gloster, who had kilted two men a week before, and therefore he was not openvt bail of any amount. This was the news which sent buzz of wonder through the town, was a salve for the battered jaws an the sore ribs of the men who had stood up to Harry Gloster the night before and found themselves goiig down like ninepins. For, after all, a man was capable of a double murder capable of almost anything But the only one who felt no thrill of excitement was Lee Haines. For when he heard the news it seemed though a weight had fallen upon his shoulders, bowing him, and that a shadow bad dropped across his eyes. At any rate, he went slowly, slowly back to the hotel, rented his roon another day, and when in the i he first of all carefully removed his bandage from his right hand. That hand was stiff, and the ragged wound in his palm was still unhealed. (To be continued.)

The youthful peer is just 21 years old. Young Lord Pentland, second Baron, succeeded to the title in 1925. His father, who was Captain John Sinclair, was secretary and controller of the household of the Marquis of Aberdeen when the Marquis was Governor-General of Canada. The Captain, who had already had a distinguished military and political career, married his chief's daughter, Lady Marjorie Gordon. Captain Sinclair was a close friend of the Liberal leader and Prime Minister, Sir Henry Camp-bell-Bannerman, and was by him included in the Cabinet and subsequently suggested for the peerage. Lord Pentland is a g'-est-grand-son of Sir John Sinclair, seventh Baronet of Dunbeath, and a member of the historic Scots house of Sinclair, of which ihe pres-.mt Earl of Caithness is chief.

Byrd Polar Plane Tested for Height Tri-Motored Ford Makes 12,-000 Feet, But Has to Drop 1,500 Pounds of Sand to Do it . New York.--The tri-motored Ford monoplane, in which Commander Richard E. Byrd hopes to fly to the south pole, has just undergone an altitude test here in which it reached a height of 12,000 feet. The airplane, however, was unable to attain the maximum height fully loaded, and I, 500 pounds of sand were jettisoned. In order to be used successfully on the south pole flight, the airplane must pass over mountains 10,000 feet high. The exact significance of the test here will not be determined until performance of the airplane is carefully checked against the probable flight conditions which it would face in the Antarctic. The airplane was piloted by Lieut. Bernt Balchen, accompanied by Harold I. June, United States navy pilot, who is expected to accompany the Byrd expedition. Balchen took off from Roosevelt Field with a full load of 12,000 pounds and climbed to an altitude ot 8,800 feet. As no maneuvering could increase the altitude 500 pounds of sand were dropped and the monoplane, rose to 10,000 feet. When the second 500 pounds of ballast was dropped, the airplane rose to II, 000 feet. The third 500 pounds of sand was thrown out later, permitting it to rise to 12,000 feet. It was regarded as possible that the weight of the sand thrown off the airplane would about represent the weight of the fuel consumed in the polar trip before the 10,000 feet elevation would be reached. In this event, it was said, the performance of the Ford monoplane might be regarded as satisfactory. It is at present equipped with 300-horsepower Wright whirl- l motors. Substitution of a Pratt & Whitney 400-horsepower Wasp en-for the centre motor may be tried in an effort to give the airplane additional altitude.

For years their sole output was a few tons of copra. Then came the discovery that these two islets were worth, as they stood, more than $1,000,000,000, for the cocoanuts at Nauru and Ocean Islands were growing over hundreds of millions of tons of the richest phosphate rock in the world. To-day the British Phosphate Commission works these deposits to the extent of nearly a million tons per annum, and where a solitary trading schooner who thus obtain intimate details of allj that Is arriving on the trip.

A high-powered wireless plant, one of the chain by which Germany once girded the Pacific, now works under British control at Nauru, claimed to be, for its size, the wealthiest Island in the world. But mere Morse communication with the great outside world is insufficient for the commercial operations at Ocean and Nauru, which He 10 miles apart. Each island has its own wireless telephone plant, a half kilowatt installation for two-way conversion, and daily the managers and other officials call one another up over this 160 miles to discuss all details regarding outpu|, loading and other matters affecting the commission's work. On board the Nauru Chief, the supply ship which carries officials, native labor and stores to the two islands, is a similar half-kilowatt Marconi set, and when with-a 500-mile range this vessel is in .nstant daylight conversion with Sometimes a call comes from the only other installation of the kind in the South Pacific, one belonging to the Methodist mission station in the Solomon Islands.

Rome's Moral Wave Hits Coast Resorts Government Orders Prefects to See That Bathing Suits Are Limited to Beaches Rome.--The Italian seaside resorts bid fair to be rather tame this year. After "moralizing" almost all other aspects of Italian life, Fascismo has now decided to turn its attention to the beaches, where rich Italians and foreigners cheat boredom during the Summer months, indulging in a Bohemian freedom from the usual conventions as to dress and deportment. Just when a majority of Italians are abandoning the sweltering cities and are headed toward the sea and looking forward to spending a few months •Ithout ever wearing anything heavier than a bathing suit, they have been overtaken by a circular issued by Premier Mussolini to all Perfects having seaside resorts within their jurisdiction, bidding the mto exercise the closest supervision that the strict-standards of morality will not be broken.

It is forbidden to appear anywhere but on the beach unless fully dressed. The bathing cabin for men and women must be kept severely separate, except the family cabins.
