He was watching her with a high head, and Joan knew now that she could never abandon him. With fingers trembling with her haste, she tore the saddle from Peter and then his bridle. Then, with a wave of her hand, she sent him on Dragging the trappings with her, she went back to the Captain. Under his head she dropped them in a pile and let him investigate. He was not at all pleased, it was plain to see. First he sniffed at the saddle and bridle, rank with the sweat of Peter. He even pawed at them disdainfully, tumbling them over and over in the sand. Then he went to Joan and, swingling around behind her, he looked down over her shoulder at the gear she had brought. What would happen when she attempted to put the saddle on his back? She was agreeably surprisodi He did not stir when she lifted it high to swing it up to his withers. And, although he swung his head around to watch the proceedings, he diiid not object when she drew up the | cinches.

Philadelphia Has \\ Made Back Slip |n Report Declares City is Almost as Bad as Chicago BOOTLEGGING RIFE Grand Jury Finds Criminals in Charge of Liquor Ring Philadelphia, Pa--The city of brotherly love appears to have taken a lonn slide back toward crime conditions which prevailed in the stormy days of early 1920 when Brig.Gen. Srr.edley D. Butler was called in to stamp out lawlessness. The recent series of gang killings brought conditions here before a grand jury and that body has now issued a report which characterizes Philadelphia as "almost as bad as Chicago." The grand jurors were not willing to go so far as to say that conditions here w#-e the same as in the mid-western metropolis but their preliminary report is one of the most amazing ever issued in this part of the country. It says that the grand jury has found that a ring of criminals, backed by powerful and wealthy interests, has gained a hold on the liquor business here, involving scores of police officials. The ring employs the best legal talent money will obtain and operates a system of bribery, robbery, assault and murder as necessary adjuncts to its $10,000,000 liquor business, the report says. Grave Charges. "Without detection or apparent fear of apprehension," says the report, "this group of men has run the whole gamut of crime, openly and brazenly and with a degree of security unheard of in a decent community. Their activities constitute a menace to life and property and a threat to the preservation of law and order." When Brig.-Gen. Butler was granted a leave of absence from the United States marines to conduct the famous "cleanup" campaign here several years ago, he found that numerous police officers were accepting small bribes to protect small bootleggers and Speakeasies. To-day, according to the grand jury's report, the alliance between politicians and underworld leaders has grown immeasurably. Bootlegging is a major industry and bribes run into flve figures. District Attorney Monaghanj who has supervised the raiding of numerous alcohol plants announced that the records.of one denaturing plant contained such entries as this: "Chief--$10.00--cop."
