PAGE TWO I^is Ill^W —■| | j RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION [ | ''//§§s, READ THIS FIRST: Bill Baron, a footloose Texan, has lustI ust been rescued from a band of Taqui Indians, holding him for ran- Bom, through a bold move on the part of Ellen Dale. Hollywood screen star. Ellen and Bill had been staying at the wealthy Montoya ranch across the Mexican border where they found themselves after a lucky parachute jump from Baron's plane during a storm. Ellen, enchanted by the atmos phere of old Mexico, finds herself growing much interested in Bill. Also rescued with Bill was Panola Montoya, the ranch owner’s daughter whose in vitation to ride with her led to their capture by the Yaqui. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: CHAPTER 13 IF HE LIVED to be a hundred years old, Bill Baron told himself when the day was over, he would never experience greater surprises nor sit in on a more extraordinary pow-wow. The setting and the transactions there were almost fantastic. Here at an altitude of more than a mile —in a secluded, hemmed-in flat place as wild as it was when Columbus sailed—lived a band of fugitive Indians, fam ilies who were unwanted every where and who had tenaciously fought for their very existence. Their mountain home was no utopia, no Shangri La in any sense. Poverty and hardships ruled there, but it was a retreat in which the proud Yaqui could still be defiant, and from which he could make frequent forays to steal cattle and horses and other meager goods essential to life. Bill could not help admiring the strength of the individuals. The men showed, he felt, not the hang dog squalor he had seen in some enfeebled remnants of American tribes, but some of the same fierce ness and dignity that once charac terized our Apaches, Comanches and Sioux. These were mountain red men who had never been con quered, and who would suffer themselves and their families to be wiped out before they would ac cept virtual® slavery on some “reservation” farm. For this. Bill could only admire them, even as he realized now that the lives of four white prisoners were at stake. The strange conference with the Yaqui chieftain, however, was very short. Probably, Bill rea soned later, it was simply a mat ter of striking contrast. Ellen Dale, having rested a bit, recovered her spirit as well as her strength. When the group had assembled to hear the white peo ple, Ellen shone among them like some sort of animate jewel. The delicacy of her clothing, he* bear ing, her color, even of her now faint perfume, was so strikingly different from the Yaqui women and men that she commanded re spect because of it. A pretty white woman is generically the most powerful individual ever created anyway. History has long since proven it, and further evidence was given here in the mountain town. What 50 or 100 armed men could not have accomplished, Ellen Dale accomplished alone. With Bill and Panola Montoya acting as interpreters, she ex plained the deal she had made with the two Yaqui men. These two New Mars Hill Dormitory Honors President’s Wife !» j 1 * ~ ,p ' ~p " 1 ' 11 . .r ' i, ■ ■■»! Mars Hill, May 21—An important • event of the 82nd commencement pro gram at Mars Hill College will be the dedication May 26 of the new Edna Corpening Moore dormitory for wo ■ men. The dormitory, a modernly equipped, fireproof building accom odating 120 persons, will be named in honor of Mrs. R. L. Moore, wife of President Moore, in recognition of ' her 41 years of service to the college. Mrs. Moore’s unselfish devotion to . Mars Hill college and to heroic ser vice to youth seeking an education are, many believe, without parallel and are in no small degree respon • sible for the growth of the college. " When Dr Moore accepted the presi dency of Mars Hill College in 1897, . then a struggling school in an almost Isolated section of Madison county, Mrs. Moore, a member of a wealthy " family of Caldwell county, was a bride of two years. She cheerfully - and enthusiastically took her place beside her husband in the task to which they were destined to devote their lives. 'One by one Mrs. Moore has seen • her dreams for the college come true. The physical equipment of the col .. lege now includes a 100-acre campus with 14 buildings for administration and residence, besides several cot “ tages, and a modest eftdowment. The enrollment yjis year was over 700 students from half the state, of the Yaqui* themselves verified her statements. “The chief asks why he should live up to any such agreement,” Bill explained, after some talk. “He wants to know why he should not now kill all four of us. He says he has never been able to trust white men. I ought to threaten him with soldiers if he gets tough, I guess.” “No,” said Ellen, quickly. “Tell him if he breaks the Yaquis’ agree ment, he will be as untrustworthy as the whites. Do you see, Bill? If his tribe is to break its word, it will be no better than white peo ple!” Bill stared at her for a moment. “Smart trick!” he murmured. “If I can make it clear to him!” The diplomacy worked. Human gratitude is a powerful thing, and pride is even stronger when prop erly touched. Ellen had won the gratitude of the two Yaqui cap tives, and she had turned her po litical and personal charm on the Yaqui chieftain now. Before they quite realized it, the white people were free to return home. The four whites immediately filed away, past the staring Yaquis, cut cnto the descending trail. They moved afoot. Their horses apparently had been con fiscated after they arrived. “Don’t mention horses or any thing else,” Bill counseled, “but get out of here as promptly as possible. We can walk it, bare footed even. I’m telling you wom en, you don’t know how lucky we are!” He retained his skepticism even when they had moved out of sight of the village and were a mile or so away. They had paused here so that Mrs. Montoya could wrap cloths around Panola’s feet to effect makeshift shoes. Both Panola’s and Bill’s feet had started bleeding, from the rough rocky trail. But Bill simply grinned at his, and made mock braggadocio as to his “full dress” suit. With every hundred yards, it seemed, the moods of the various trekkers seemed to change. Pan ola grew consistently angrier, and soon was talking rather stupidly about what she would like to do to the Yaquis. Her threats were echoed by her mother. Ellen had said almost nothing on the down trail, after learning in detail of Bill’s and Panola’s ex periences since they left the ranch. The party had moved painfully another mile or so, and had stopped for another rest, before any form of thanks was given ’ Ellen. The American girl was sit i ting on a rock, and Bill was lean ing against it, relaxed. Panola was lying on the grass where her mother was rubbing her aching legs. “I still don’t believe it,” Bill drawled. “But I hope it’s true. I don’t see a sign of a Yaqui now." No one answered, and Bill turned to Ellen. “You are rather—fine,” he said, pausing briefly. "One of these days I intend to take up the mat ter of thanking you.” Ellen looked intently at him. dis- ■ I MRS. R. L. MOORE United States and three foreign coun tries.

( cerned that he was quite serious. “It will not be necessary, Bill. I was indebted to you, remember. I still am.” “No. Never any more, anyway. But I’m kind of squelched, Miss Dale. I weigh 180. Big he-man— see? Western man. Dashing; strong.” She smiled then. “Don’t be silly.” “Ho hum, and I might have had my name in the headlines!” “Bill Baron, I believe you are getting in a mood! And by the way, you called me Ellen back there. Why do you call me Miss Dale here?” “Did I?” “Didn’t you?” “All right; but Fm not in lov* with you. You did the rescuing. K1 never live it down.” “Oh, stop it! But I’m glad to see you normal again. Your face showed strain a while ago.” Bill stood up straight then. “Listen, lady, I was strained! We were in a ticklish spot, let me tell you! And for love nor money I couldn’t see away out. All kid ding aside Ellen you were swell!” He took her hand, squeezed it. He was not smiling when she looked into his eyes. “I think you mean it, Bill,” she murmured. “It’s all the thanks I need.” They hadn’t moved more than a mile farther when the foot-weary women and man turned into a can yon and sighted a cavalcade. “Es Julio!” shrieked Senora Montoya. It was indeed Don Julio, and Felix, and some 30 other men, looking like a troop of cavalry so heavily were they armed. They had followed into the mountains when Don Julio’s patience had reached the breaking point. The old rancher had expected his loved ones to return—if ever—before nightfall of that first day, but he had not known of the distance to the Yaqui village, nor of the in credible roughness of the trail. He meant to raid the Indians, come what may. Now he was overcome with joy. Ellen and Bill were left out of the melee of conversation for sev eral minutes. All in Spanish, it could hardly be followed by one man anyway. Some of the men seemed anxious to go on after the Yaquis and Panola concurred, urg ing them to go and take revenge for the insult. But when Ellen understood the trend, she vetoed it. “No! Tell them no, Bill! It is impossible. It would be foolish as well as dishonest to break our word now!” She was holding his arm, instinctively clinging near her own countryman. When she heard Ellen, Panola came toward her, trembling with what surely was forgivable weari ness as well as rage. “I believe you would not care,” she said, slowly, “if they had keel me!
