Gerald a sprig of an old weatlhy
family has won a beautiful girl and
everything-seems merry as a wed-
ding bell when the girl Mary dis-1
covers a yellow streak in her lamb.'
She gives him the mitten. After a
course in physicial training he goes
out to Arizona where the girl and
her friends are enjoying a visit at a
ranch.
The lamb leaves the transcontinen-
tal train to buy trinkets and the train J
speeds off with him. Crooks offer
to take him to the train by a short [
route then park him and he is left
for dead on the desert. Later both j
Gerald and an aviator whom he
meets on the desert are captured by
Ipdians taken across the Mexican bor-
der and held prisoners. A thrilling
fight ensues between the Yaquis and
Mexican soldiers which the Indians
win.
Gerald’s sweetheart in an auto!
party is also captured by the Indians.
Fellow captives they make their es- |
cape in a series of thrilling adven-
tures which prove the real qualities of
the lamb.

COBLENZ Aug. 15.—Through-
out Germany there has been a renew-
al recently of clashes between troops
of Gustav Nocke secretary of mili-
tary affairs and civilians but just
what has caused the disturbances is
not clear in dispatches published in
German newspapers. American army
officers however believe it quite pos-
sible that the manifestations are due
to the food shortage the relocation
of Noske troops and the subsequent
appearance of strange troops in many
cities.
And also in Celle Hanover
there has been trouble for more than
a week at times the manifestations
amounting almost to riots over the
appearance of a Jaeger luitallion
which arrived recently from the east-
ern front. The citizens contended
that this hatallion had eaten too much
of the city’s food supply. In Heil- j
bronn Wuerttemburg individual sol-
diers have been attacked and beaten |
by civilians at night and their msig-'

ranchers in a Western cattle country
just after Joe Morgan is shot to death
by Jim Diggs cattle thief and all-j
around bad man. Suspicious of ine
stranger Diggs also fires at Sandy
who drops to the floor as if wounded.
A moment later however .he turns
quickly and the habitues of the saloon
enjoy the spectacle of Diggs staring
into the muzzles of two guns in the
hands of Burke who is still on his
knees.
As Sandy holds the bad man at
bay little Dolly Morgan who had
been sent to her father by her dying
mother enters the place in search of
her parent. A letter found in the
dead man’s pockets explains Dollv’s
presence there. When Burke turns
about for an instant to welcome the

the child. Diggs. still holding Dolly
mounts his horse and gallops away
looking back and laughing at Burke
the butt as he thought of his clever
little joke.
Sandy starts in pursuit and after
an hour's ride overtakes Diggs who
has made his way up a cliff. A shot
from Burke forces Diggs to dismount
and do battle with his pursuer. From
behind big boulders both men fire at
each other. Once it seemed as though
Burke had potted Diggs hut the out-
law has stopped firing foi a mom-
ent to again use his little captive as
n shield. Burke quits firing when
he sees the girl and placing one of his
guns between two rocks he ties it
firmly to give Diggs the impression
that he is still at the spot.
As Diggs continues firing Burke
climbs the cliff and steals around be- j
hind the outlaw and Dolly. Here
Sandy brings his trusty lasso into play
and suddenly Diggs finds himself at
the mercy of Sandy who grabs Dolly
and lifts her on his horse. Sandy
rides hack to town dragging the las-
soed Diggs after him to show the out-
law’s pals at the Silver Dollar saloon
that Diggs is a joke as a trickster.

it to me. He smokes a great many
cigarettes. People tell me that 1
aught to break him of the habit be-
fore 1 marry him. I spoke to him
■bout his smoking but he refuses to
stop. This subject caused our first
little quarrel and 1 am beginning to
wonder if I ought to give him up. I
love him very much .Miss Jewett but
I would rather give him up than to
In' unhappy with him. What do you
think 1 ought to do?

You see whst happens when we let

with your young man until others be-

the least offensive of them all? And
Jon’t worry about cigarettes brine;
harmful to his health and that sort of

OVER FIVE MILLION
COLLECTED IN TEXAS
MOTOR VEHICLE TAX
(I*.y The
AUSTIN Texas Aug. 15.—Dur-
ing the two and one-half years that
the Texas highway department has
been in existence it lias collected $5-
240701 including taxes on motor ve-
hicles and various licenses connected
therewith.
Of this a total of $2578019
has been returned to the counties of
ithe state. During 1917-18 the de-
partment allotted $1300225 to coun-
ties. Then the law was changed so
that tax collectors gathered funds
for the highway department and re-
tained half they collected to go into !
county funds. During 1919 this half
has amounted to $1271583.
In addition during the two and
one-half years the department has
given counties $447784 in the form j
of aid for projects; and federal aid j
of $267986 was awarded during the
eatnc period.
The department now has on hand a
considerable sum much of which in
the course of administration will "c
back to counties in the form of high-
way allotments.
Among the expenditures of the de-
partment during its existence has
been $57999 for engineers who have
spent a large portion of their time in-
specting and planning county high- '
way work. And during 1917-18 j
$125252 was spent for number
plates. During the first six inoiunx ..i 1
1919 $39330 has been spent for the
same purpose.
For the first two years expendi-
tures for postage were $33482; but
under a new system for the first six
months of 1919 the postage bill was
only $3470.
