NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 3.

will not fly skyward in Tennessee

Glorious Fourth, according to in
structions issued here by Ed M.

“The Fourth of July is intended
as a day of celebration of a most
memorable occasion to the Ameri

sorrow, suffering or death into any
homo,” the marshall declares.
“With this in mind, I wish to most
earnestly urge every father, mother
or guardian to keep out of the
hands of children, fireworks or ex
plosives of all like description.”
Th deputies in the division of
fire prevention have been given in
structions to see that rules and reg

pertain to the careless use and
handling of fireworks and other ex
plosives. ,
The commissioner is anxious also
that all local laws in this respect
throughout the state be enforced,
he says.
In the past many lives have been
lost by the use of fireworks aud ex
plosives during celebrations, Mr.
Gillenwaters says, and he feels tnat
he will have the co-operation of of
ficials throughout the state.

“Haunted Valley"

CHAPTER I
Bound To The Enemy
A beautiful girl stood on a hillock
and cast her eyes over the swarm
of workmen who were laboring to
finish the construction job at Lost
River Dam according to schedule.
In her hand she held a telegram,
and a troubled look passed over her
lovely features as she read and re
read the contents.
“Cannot meet monthly payroll.
Come at once. Important directors’
meeting,” it said. The message
was signed, “Weatherby.”
Ruth Ranger, the last of a famous
line, was President of Ranger, Inc.,
an engineering firm that for three
quarters of a century had been so
famed for honest work and business
integrity that the word of a Ranger
was regarded as safe as a Govern
ment bond.
The girl was also the owner of
Haunted Valley—-a place of ungodly
lights and eerie shades; of lurking
terror and mysterious disappear
ances. Although it afforded the
shortest course across the desert,
neither rancher nor traveler would
venture a second time into its
dreaded precincts.
While Ruth was attempting to
figure out how she could meet her
obligations, Harry Mallinson, a sup
posed friend of the girl who seemed
to know the real value of Haunted
Valley, was taking extraordinary
precautions to guard the secret until
he could obtain the property.
Mallinson and his agents had built
unusual headquarters underground
and in the side of a cliff, which
overlooked the dreary domain. Mal
lirison called this spot his control
room, and well he might, for it con
tained various mechanisms that con
trolled the valley and sent death
wherever the man desired it.
Dirks, his chief assistant, had
completed the invention of an odd
device—a chart, marked off into
squares and numbered, indicating
the position of anyone entering the
valley, and each number correspond
ing with a section. Every section
had its own particular terror for the
intruder. After a few words to
Dirks, Mallinson gleefully departed.
Ruth Ranger finally came to the
decision that she had best return I
tc toe city and consult with her vice- ’
president, Weatherby. She traveled '
a rd ort distance in her smart road- i
ster when she saw a truck ahead ;
of her with a broken wheel, com
pletely blocking the road.
“The only other way to town, '
Miss,” one of the drivers informed I
her, “is through that durned valley, i
and I wouldn’t advise you to go
through that place.”
The girl smiled confidently, and I
not hcedi ig the words of warning, |
started through the short-cut
through the valley. She had covered
about half the distance when a ter
rific explosion behind her shGck the
earth and caused her car to skid peril
ously. Then another—and another.
Dirks, in the control room wds car
rying out his instructions. Ruth
put on full speed. She could not
understand the source of these
strange upheavals of dirt and gravel.
The girl had just reached the exit
from the valley when a final terrific
explosion seemed to fairly lift her
it. the air. She remembered no j
more until she felt herself in a pair
of strong arms.
“Why how long have I been
here ?” Ruth asked.
Eugene Craig was the name of
the young man who had rushed to
the girl’s assistance. He smiled at
her and assured her only a few
moments.
“I—l must get to the city at
once,” the girl said, picking herself
up and brushing the dirt from her
smart sport suit.
“I’ll take you,” the mysterious
young man volunteered. VI only
came out to look at the valley.”
An hour later in the city Ruth
learned the worst. Weatherby in
formed her that unless a million
dollars were secured immediately,
Ranger, Incorporated, would go to
the wall. After a moment of
thought, the girl came to a decision.
She was not beaten yet. With a
firm look on her face, she walked
from the' office, took a few steps,
down the hall and entered the office
of Henry Mallinson where she was!
warmly greeted by that gentleman.
Ruth decided to waste no time.
DAVIS IS BOUNCED

MACON, July 2.—Rev. Roy E.
Davis, president of the Georgia
Farmers’ Union, was removed from
office at a meeting of the executive
committee of that organization here
Saturday night. The action of the

six years or more in Texas and
Georgia. The executive committee

“Henry,” she said, “I am facing
•a business, crisis and I must have
one million dollars at once.”
Mallinson smiled. “I’d do any
thing in the world for you Ruth, but
under the circumstances I cannot
loan money to your company. To
you ”
“I have ne security,” the girl in
terrupted, “Everything I own is
turned over to the company.”
“Any nominal security would do
—for instance Haunted Valley.”
“Why!” the girl exclaimed. “It's
almost worthless, but I must have
the money and—and if you are
willing
In fifteen minutes the papers were
drawn up. They so stipulated that
if Ruth failed to repay the borrowed
sum to Henry Mallinson ninety days
from the date of signature, all right
and title to Haunted Valley would
revert to him.
“Ruth,” Mallinson said, after the
papers were turned over, “I love
you. Marry me and let me relieve
you of all your troubles. Should
you fail, I’ll take care of Ranget,
Incorporated.”
“But, Henry, I won't fail,” smiled
the girl, drawing back.
“But if you do fail, will you
marry me at the end of three months
and let me help you and the com
pany you are so proud of?”
Rujh was quite confident of her
success. “Since you put it that way,
I agree,” she answered. “I will
marry you at the end of the three
months.”
Ruth Ranger was extremely
pleased with the ease in which she
had‘accomplished her mission. The
work on Lost River Dam could no v
go on, and surely, there were
enough projects looming up to pay
the money back without the slight
est difficulty.
Mallinson smiled craftily . as his
two agents, Dirks and Sharkey,
.entered his office. He quickly ex
plained to them what he had accom
plished and then went over a list of
Ranger projects and informed them
that work on each one would have
to be slackened to bring success to
his plans.
“Before we go further,” Dirk 1
interrupted, “I want a written agree
ment as to my share of Haunted
Valley.”
“Look here, Dirks!” MallinSou
I angrily replied, “you shall be paid
well for your inventions. And
Sharkey, you will be paid for your
special work. But I have engineered
this thing and let there be no talk
I of sharing the rewards with either
of you.”
A flare of anger passed over
Dirks’ face. “Why—why— you—”
' he shouted, reaching for a sharp
ifaper knife.
Mallinson was too quick for him.
A blow in the face floored Dirks.
“Now get out of here until wb’u can
behave,” Mallinson warned/
At Ruth’s home that night a figure
skulked about the premiacs. A win
dow, leading to the livflßg room was
opened and a note tbjdwn in on the
table. When Ruth the room
a short time eyes fell on
the note. She picked it, up ard,rcad;
“Ruth Ranger:
I “Whatever dangers you have to
face, solve the mystery of Haunted
Valley. It holds untold wealth.
“An Interested Friend.”
The girl could not understand the
meaning of the mysterious warning.
She was about to phone Mallinson
when there was a ring at the door.
Oh, yes! She had forgotten that
she had invited her attractive young
rescuer, Craig, to call that evening.
She had just finished her greeting
when there was another ring at the
doorbell. The girl excused herself
and walked toward the door. Open
ing it, she started back as she saw
the maddened features of Dirk i
staring at her.
“Are you • Ruth Ranger?” he
asked excitedly.
“Why, yes,” answered the sur
prised girl.
“I’ll tell you the secret of
Haunted Valley,” Dirks gasped I
“Keep it—don’t fail to keep it,
for-”
At that moment girl was 1
startled to see a figure rise up from |
behind a hedge. A pistol cracked
and Dirks fell at her feet!

servedly earned the highest com
