Such fair weather patriots not only defeat the purpose
of the stamp program—to sharpen the axe for the axis—
but they cost the Treasury Department money because
stamps turned back must be canceled. Thus a tremendous
amount of printing and paper gose down the river. Further-
more the redeemers are tossing away the very best invest-
ment in the world.
Possibly the Treasury may do something about it. It
would be a far better thing, however, if we all would resolve
to build and perpetuate our patriotism on solid ground, and
issue a sort of moral building code outlawing false fronts.
relating to alternative taxes, the

ceremonies, the three victims to be
sacrifices should be thrown into 1
the volcano—into the crater of
bubbling lava! A horrible death!
Alec could see that even Red was
jarred |jy. the prospept „,hut he
knew that Red would do nothing
to stop the proceedings. He was
so thoroughly frightened that he
wouldn’t lift a finger, not even for
Myrna. -
The only other person who might
voice a protest was Bill Gulick,
but what could one lone white
man do against a tribe of Indians?
Moreover, Bill was a man of dis-
cretion—was probably as afraid as
Red ol opposing the Indians. He
now lounged in the background,
his shapeless felt hat pulled down
over his eyes, gnawing thoughtful-
ly on a plug of tobacco.
There was no doubt that Red
Feather had spoken tor the tribe
as a whole, tor there was now
great excitement among the In-
dians. They were feverishly plan-
ning the details of the coming
ceremonies. Alee overheard enough
to gather what the program would
be.
First, a feast would be prepared
and eaten. This would be followed
by dancing. Then, the Indians
would take their victims and start
the long climb to the top of the
mountain. Beside the crater, there
would be further ceremonies, cli-
maxed at dawn by the grisly
finale. *
Alec. Tubby and Myrna were
taken back into Red’s cabin and
left there under guard, with Myrna
now bound like the men. Tubby
had regained consciousness in time
to hear what wm in store tor
them, but none of Them could dis-
cuss their fate, for all of them
had been gagged. Red, meanwhile,
had disappeared.
Outside, they could see the glow
of fires over which the feast was
being prepared. Alec made a few
fuMle attempts to get his hands
loose, but they had been, well tied
behind his back with rawhide
thongs that cut deeply into his
wrists. Each pull seemed only to
draw the knots tighter.
Finally, he lay still aad, as cool- -
ly aa possible, calculated their
chances df escape. Things looked
dark, but while there was Ute,
there was hope. Suppose, for in-
stance, that the volcano should

funeral home. Dr. Roger E. Myrna ever since the first day she intention thatj with_appropriate
had COI(ie to Reindeer. His atten-
tions to Mink Woman had twben
meaningless. But a look at the
faces watching him showed clear-
ly that he would have to choose
her or he would forfeit any be-
lief the Indians still held in him.
And with that, came the chill
realization that, if they turned
against him, he would be treated
as Alec and Tubby were to he
treated.
“I choose you, of course. Mink
Woman,” he said, his voice a little
thick. , . •
-• Triumph blazed in her eyes.
“Since that is sb, you haye no fur-
thrt- Interest in the white witch.
So, of course phe shall go with her
lover and her brother—to die with
them!” ,
Red cast a nervous glance to-
ward Myrna, but remained silent.
The situation was getting com-
pletely put oX his control. Instead
of being a god, he had become
only a puppet, twisted around a*
woman's finger a savage woman,
at that. The murmur of approval
which rose and swelled at Mink
Woman’s words was proof enough
to him that it would be danger-
ous to oppose her.
Red Feather pushed forward
again. “They die in daw a, like you
say. All of them — the woman,
too.” His eyes seemed to challenge
.Red. ------------------------------____
There was an instant’s silence.
Then, Red said slowly, “Yes —
all of them.
It was a case now of saving his
own skin, and that was paramount
with him.
"And after that, there will be
no more trouble?*’ Red Feather
pwsisted. “You will protect us
from disaster T”
Red strove to go on playtag the
role of god. "Have I not oome, as
long ago prom lead, to save you in
your time of trouble? But I will
teH you why there has been so
much. It is because you have not
trusted me—have hesitated when
you should have tottowsd-me. Only
If you believe in me, witt there
be no mere trouble in the valley,
If you do not trust me, there will
be much trouble, from which I
oannot save you.”
Alee, listening, had to admit
that Red was clever. If anything
went wrong—if the volcano or the
fleeter played havoc with the val-
ley—Rad had left himself a nice
wide loophole. He could merely
say that the Indians had not trust-
ed him enough.
“We will do as you sqy," Red
Feather promised. "If we do. win
all be well?"
Red glanced toward the north.
The red glow that had been in the
sky had disappeared. The horizon
was now dark.
“Al! will be well." he said boldly
Red Feather, too. was looking
toward the north- “Up there," he
said, pointing “a mountain boiled

VVyASHINGTON had his sunshine patriots and Lincoln his

ious breed—false front patriots. They erect with loud talk
and a great fan-fare of Activity a magnificent structure of
patriotism. But it falls flat with the first stuff breeze be-
cause It has a false front.
Specifically these big takers and small doers noisily buy
defense bonds and stamps one day and -very quietly cash
them the next. Obviously this sort of thing is about as help-
ful to our war effort as is Hermann Goering.»
For instance, the Cleveland postoffice reported defense
stamp sales of $274,093 one week but it gave back $75,900 to
persons who did not wish to keep these stamps or trade them
in d|i defense bonds. This was a net sell-out of Uncle Srfm.
General MacArthur. Admiral Nimitz, the thousands in front
line fighting and the millions on the home front of 27 per
cent.
Reports of such redemptions, some more and some less,
come from other sections of the nation and piled up to a
total of $6,646,712 stamp redemptions in December. That is
enough money to equip a fleet of flying fortresses and slap
the Japs with a punch their honorable ancestors would hear.
Some of these stamps undoubtedly were redeemed In
bonds. Some persons were forced to cash them because they
lost their jobs or suffered other financial jolts. Nevertheless,
