CHAPTER XII.
The Protruding Hand.

At first he couldn't see the bed. He
saw only the projections of his
fancy, stimulated by Silas Black
burns story, against the black screen
of the night. He understood at last
what the old man had meant. The
darkness did appear to possess a
physical resistance, and as the min
utes heightened it seemed to encase
all the suffering the room had ever
harbored. But he wouldn't close his
eyes as his grandfather had done. 1t
was a defense to keep them OH the
spot where the bed stood while his
mind, in spite of his will, pictured,
lying there, still forms with ban
daged heads. He wouldn't close his
eyes even when those fancied shapes
commenced to struggle in grotesque
and impotent motion, like ants
whose hill has been demolished. Nor
could he drive from his ears the
echoes of dellrium that seemed to
have fingered in the old room. He
continued to watch the darkness un-
til the outlines of the room and of
its furniture dimly detached them
selves from the black pail The snow
apparently caught what feeble light
the moon forced through, rejecting
it with a disconsolate inefficiency.
He could see after a time the palid
frames Of the windows, the pillow on
the bed, and the wall above it. He
fancied the dark stain, the depression
in the mattress where the two bod
les had rested. Those physical OBJ
jects forced on him the probability
of, his guilt Then he recalled that
both men. dead for many hours, h d |
moved apparently Of their own volt
ton; and his grandfather had come
back from the grave and then had
disappeared, leaving no trace; and
he comforted himself with the
thought that the explanation, if it
came at all, must arise from force
outside himself, whether of the liv-
ing or the dead

any subtle change overcome him
here as it evidently had the others9
Could there be repeated in his case
a return and disappearance like
his grandfathers? There was, as
Rawlins had said, no way in or out
for an attack. Therefore the danger
must emerge from the dead, and he
was helpless before their incompre-
hensible campaign.
The whole illogical. abominable
course of events warned him to bring
his vigil to an end before it should
be too late; urged him to escape
from the restless revolt of the dead
who had dwelt in this room. And
he wanted to respond. He wanted
to go to the corridor and confess to

National Association to Meet
in Denver in January; Post.
War Work Will Have
Affect on Industry.

| Denver, Colo, Dec. 29.-The liv
stock industry at no time in the pas
has been confronted by problem
as important as those of today, de
clares the call for the I'D annua
convention of the American Ma
ticnal Live Stock association, ISSUED
by L. T. Pryor of San Antonio, Tex.
president, and I. w. Tomlinson oil
| Denver, secretary Of the associa.
ticn. The convention will meet here
on January II and be in session
three days.
The call states that postwar re-
adjustments will affect more vitality
these engaged in the live stock and
agricultural industries than those
engaged in other industries, and
calls attention to the problem Of
railroad ownership, the probable &C
ton of the peace conference upon
trade, and the prospect of termina-
ton of the federal food administra-
ton and other governmental war
agencies upon THE declaration of
peace.
Food Rulings Affect Stockmen.
1t adds that stockmen are deeply
concerned in regulations pus into
effect under authority of the food
administration and, after calling at
tention to the licensing of packers,
stock yard companies, live stock
commission men and traders, asserts
that all these licenses and regula-
tons should be extended until con-
gress can carefully consider the en-
tire meat packing and marketing
problem and enact suitable legisla-
ton"
"Perhaps some of the work of
the food administration should be
continued until general food con-
ditions in the world become more
normal" the statement says. "A
fair and just distribution of our sur
plus meat and other food products
SO as to supply the urgent needs of
the different nations in Europe may
be almost impossible without some
centralized agency such as the food
administration, which could at the
same time prevent any over-expor-
tation of food products needed for
home consumption"
Will Consider Bureau of Markets.
The convention will consider also
the work of the bureau of markets
n the regulation of stock yards and
men and in the distribu-
ion of live stock and meat Stats
les; the discussion as to advance
II commission charges at various
regulations of prices of
hides and wool by the war indus

The number of horses in the state have

i'll the same period. SO that the in
crease in the value of COWS and dairy

the war conditions.

In sheep there were $4,000 in Min

The above figures may be a surprise
to many who have been under the I'M
preston that the live stock supply Of
the United States has been diminishing
There has been an immense decrease in
the worlds supply Of live stock. but
this decrease has been in Europe. and
it is the reflection Of this shortage
abroad which has advanced prices in
this country, and for years to come
America will remain the principal
source Of supply of meat products in
