CHAPTBEl .
THE FLYING CLOUD' '
A sprawling, brawling turbulent
settlement of tents and rude shacks;
it main streets lined with gambling
dives and dance halls, deep in slimy
' - mud and deeper yet in Bin and crime
that was Barbery Coast San -Francisco,
in the early days of the Gold-
Rush before the 1 Vigilante! rose in
protest, defying the law in order to
establish the law.
Later a noble and great city was to
rise along the sand dunes lining the
peninsula. It was to rise on the basis
of commerce and industry. But in
. the early days, gold gold from the
. nearby bills was the basis for San
Francisco's sudden notoriety. It ex-
. isted to serve the primitive needs of
the prospectors, and also to' serve
their equally primitive passions.
The prospectors would come stum
bling in from the adjoining hills, their
packbags filled with precious gold.
Starved for human society, craving
excitement after the long, weary
months of solitary labor, possessing
small fortunes in gold dust, they were
easy prey for the jpanwtt" who in
fested the town. They were Quickly
- robbed or cheated of their fortunes.
, Victims who protested were found1
' dead hi the streets, a knife or a bul
let in their backs. Their murderers
went about boasting and unmolested.
, The administration of law and order,
under the notorious Judge Harper,
was a pure farce. Gamblers control
led the town and the town officials.
- To this erode, lawless sea-port town:
on a New Tears Bve came the clip
per ship "Flying Cloud," poking
through the fog into the Golden Gate,
alter 211 days out of New York, and
14 days of blind beating along the
coast. Anxiously it blew for the pilot
At long last an answer came from
out of the void. Bagerly passengers
and crew lined the rails, to exchange
conversation with the pilot, to learn
fat advance all about sold country.
-Behind the fog liti
Two passengers stood apart from
the excited crowd. One, a beautiful
firi, Miss Mary Rutledge, of .New
ork City. The other, Mr. Marcus
Aurelius Cobb, a broken-down jour
nalist, v.lio dreamt of re-establishing
himself in this new country.
"Listen to them!" Miss Butledge
exclaimed. "Men like to yell, don't
they? They think they're millionaires
already."
"More than that," Cobb answered
gently. "They've all of them left lives
behind them they didn't like. They
dream now of being reborn In the
new land. Behind thia fog lies not
only sand filled with gold but a new
empire for men of vision."
Miss Butledge laughed harshly.
"Men of vision. I love the fine
names men give each ether to hide
their greeds and lust for adventure.
I am amased at your idealism, ooio
nel Cobb."
But the old man's gentle idealism
was soon to b of service to her. The
steward entered to demand pay for
her clearance papers lorty-nve. uoi
lara. more than Mill Rntledre DOS'
sesied. Cobb came to her rescue, and
dug again into his wallet when, an
old skinflint of a boatsman demanded
fifty dollars to row them ashore.
Old Atrocity
Halfway to shore, the boatsman
rested his oars, and demanded more
. money, threatening otherwise to tip
tie boat over.
"You wouldn't dare said Cobb.
"Wouldn't darel You don't sup
pose they call me Old Atrocity for
oothin'. If I were to tell ye half the
atrocities I've committed in my time,
re d keel over rignt wnere you re sit
tine."
And the old rascal began to rock
the boat violently.
"Wait!" Miss Butledge exclaimed.
"Does it mean anything to you that
I came hero to marry Dan Morgan T'
Old Atrocity was startled.
"Dan Morgan I The man who made
the Homestead Gully striker
"Yes."
"Moses in the Mountain!" Old
Atrocity yelled; and began rowing
desneratelv for shore.
Their arrival at the wharf ereated
a tremendous sensation. The wharf
was crowded with boisterous pros
pr-.ars, in mga New Xesr'e jsve spir-
"Yippee! Yippee!" they yelled. "A

pushed overboard. '
But the) rough crowd were not with

over seeing Miss Butledge was genu

all when she asked for Dan Morgan.

said, looking curiously at the nervous
faces around her. "Mr. Morgan wrote
me if he wasn't here some one would
be here to take me to the Homestead
Gully.' Does anyone know where it

A prospector gulped and finally an
swered: i- v '
"Well, you see, Miss, Homestead
Gully has been taken off the map." -
"Then,' Miss Butledge inquired,
"can you tell me where I can find
Mr. Morgan?"
"Miss, I hate to be the one to break
the news but Dan Morgan has been
taken off the map likewise."
And from the sympathetic miner
Miss Butledge learned that her
fiance, whom she had traveled thou
sands of miles to meet, was dead a
suicide.
"The red showed up thirteen
times," the miner explained soberly,
"and his gold mine changed hands.
Following which unfortunate incident
Mr. Morgan showed a most complete
lack of interest in living further."
For a moment Miss ' Butledge
threatened to collapse. With a gasp,
sho turned away and walked to tha
edge of the wharf. Cobb followed.
"My poor ehfld!" he exclaimed.
Miss Butledge smiled wryly.
"It seems my first claim hasn't
panned out so welL"
"Ton don't fool me, Miss Butledge.
You're hurt Please let me help you."
'Ton don't understand. Colonel. I
never loved Dan Morgan P
Cobb was horrified.
"But you were going to majrry
him! He must have meant something
to you."
"He meant," said Miss Butledge
harshly, "a million dollars.'
Cobb turned away, shocked. But
Miss Butledge regained her cold self
possession. She turned to the min
ers, still smiling her tight, inscrutable
smtle.
"Gentlemen," she asked, "vho got
Dan Morgan's money?"

"It's in the hands of t!" most ir

Miss Butledge persisted.

"The name is Louis Chamalis.

Miss Butledge's smile became posi
tively angelic.
"Gentlemen," she said, "I am hun

however, when Chamalis approached

"How do yon like San Francisco V
he asked.
"I think I'm going to like it very

"That's fine," Chamalis said. "I

j Once you start this fascinating
hobby you will undoubtedly agree
1 that it Is a real pleasure and an ideal
way to occupy your time profitably
' during the long evenings of fall and
winter.
. All of us are familiar with the
ordinary type of snapshots but few
have made silhouette pictures. With
this type of picture, even more than
with ordinary snaps, It is important
that the pictures tell their own story
unless, of course, you want simply
a profile head and shoulders study
for you have only outlines to work
with, unsupported by perspective or
detail.
The first essential of silhouette
pictures is a perfectly flat back
ground, devoid of detail. And the
easiest way to-obtain such a back
ground is to stretch a bed sheet
across a broad doorway between two
' rooms.. It's important tltee sheet

Cattle Men Are Aroused
as Rustling Increases
Des Moines. Iowa cattle men, faced
with the loss of valuable stock from
increasing night raids by modern cat-.
tie rustlers, are contemplating forma
tion of bands of vigilantes to combat
the thieves. w :
Bustling on a larger scale than
Iowa has experienced since the turn
of the century has broken out recent
ly and appears to be on the Increase.
Becords at the state bureau of inves
tigation disclosed that 133 head of
cattle have been purloined from Iowa
farms duripg the first eight months
of tbe year.
In the . pioneer days of the state.
tbe cattle rustler was a daring figure
wbo operated on horseback in large
bands.
The modern rustler uses a light
fast truck , and takes a minimum of
chance. His booty, aided by process
ing taxes and scarcity of beef, dally
grows more valuable.
Operating with a "finger man," the
modern rustling crew spots herds
which graze In pastures far away
from the farm house.
In the night stillness the crew, us
ually composed of only two or three
men, snip an opening in barbed wire
fences and .drive their truck through.
Then they herd the cattle Into their
truck and speed away. -
As yet no offender has been lynched
and it Is not believed such an extreme
wonld be resorted to if a vigilante or
ganlaaton ; were formed But if the
menace continues, Glen Schmidt, chief
of the Investigation bureau, said, there
is a "distinct possibility farmers Will
take the Jaw into their. own hands and
.mete put some kind of punishment" '

use the two 60-watt lamps, you will .
need an exposure of about 10 sec-'

a Photoflood, a couple of seconds will
suffice. Using the Photoflash (which
