are the drawing cards. .,
There is not single star IN the dis

before the entry list is closed.
The most interesting pairings are be-
tween Charley Hoffner and ANDY Camp
bell. Bob Barnett and Jack Campbell,
John Edmundson and Jimmy Sntor,
Jack Hobons and Lew Goldbeck. These
stand out particularly, but there are a
lot of other star events on the cards,
too.
The list reads like that Of the Phi'a-
delphia open. and should produce as
keen competition as that classic event
did.
The following is the entry list:

Then the tall men swung on their

SIMON, HAVE MERCY!


SYNOPSIS.-Att the death OF his
foster father Bruce Duncan, in an
eastern city, receives mysterious
message, sent by a Mrs. Ross, sum-
moning him peremptorily to south
ern Oregon-to meet Linda"
Bruce has vivid but battling recol-
lections of his childhood in an or
phanage, before his adoption by
Newton Duncan, with the girl Lin
da. At his destination, Trails End,
news that a message has been sent
to Bruce gets to Simon Turner.
Leaving the train, Bruce is aston
ished at his apparent familiarity
with the surroundings, though to
his knowledge he has never been
there. On the way Simon warns
him to give up his quest and return
East Bruce refuses. Mrs. Ross,
aged and infirm, welcomes him
with emotion. She hastens him on
his way-the end of "Pine-Needle
Trail" Bruce finds his childhood
playmate, Linda. The girl tells him
of wrongs committed by an enemy
clan, the Turner's, on her family,
the Rosses. Lands occupied by the
clan were stolen from the RosSes,
and the family, with the exception
of Aunt Elmira (Mrs. Ross) and
herself, wiped out by assassination,
Bruce's father, Matthew Folger,
was one of the victims. His mother
had fed with Bruce and Linda
The girl, while small, had been kid
naped from the orphanage and
brought to the mountains. Linda's
father had decided his lands to
Matthew Folger, bur the agree
ment, which would confute the
enemy claims on the property, had
been lost. Bruce's mountain blood

Pine, in front of Linda's cabin.
seems to Bruce's excited magma
ton to be endeavoring to convey a
message. Bruce sets out in search
of a trapper named Hudson, a wit
ness to the agreement between
Linda's father and Matthew Fol-
ger. A gigantic grizzly, known as
the Killer, is the terror of the VI
cinity. Dave Turner, sent by
Simon, bribes Hudson to swear
falsely concerning the agreement.
The Killer strikes down Hudson.
Bruce, on his way to Hudson,
wounds the Killer, driving him
from his victim. Hudson, learning
Bruce's identity, tries to tell him
the hiding place of the agreement,
but death summons him. Dave de-
coys Linda and Aunt Elmira from
their home. The man insults Linda
and is struck down by tho aged
woman. Elmira's son has been
murdered by Dave. and at her COM
mand. after securely binding the
desperate, Linda leaves them alone.
Returning, Bruce finds a notc, ap-
parently from Linda, telling him
she has been kidnapped by the
Turner's. Bruce falls into Simons
trap, and is made prisoner. Charg-
ing Bruce with attempting to re-
open the blood-feud, the clan de-
cides to leave him, bound, in a
pasture on the spot where the
Killer had slain and half eaten a
calf the night before. They look
for the return of the grizzly.

CHAPTER XXI

"If Simon Turner isn't a coward ~
Bruce said slowly to the clan, she will
give me chance to fight him now."
The room was wholly silent, and the
clap turned expectant eyes to JnefS
leader. Simon scOwled, but he knew
he had to make answer. His eyes
crept over Bruce's powerful body.
"There is no obligation on my part to
answer any challenges by you," he
said. "YOu are a prisoner. But if you
think you can sleep better in the pas
ture because of it, I'll let you have
your chance. Take off his ropes"
A knife slashed at his bonds. Simon
stood up, and Bruce sprang from his
chair like wildcat, aiming his hard
ened knockIeS straight for the leering
lips. He made the attack with aston
fishing SwiftneSs and power, and his
intention was to deliver at least one
terrific blow before Simon could get
his arms up to defend himself. He
had given the huge clan leader credit
for tremendous physical strength, but
he didn't think that the heavy body
could move with real agility But the
great muscles seemed to snap into
tension, the mead ducked to one side,
and his own rNige fsts struck out
If Bruce's blow had gone straight
home where it had been aimed, Simon
would have had nothing more to say
for few moments at least. The leap
had been powerful and swift yet Who'll
ly inaccurate And the reason was
just that his wrists and ankles had
been numbed by the tight thongs by
which they had been confined. Simon
met the leap with a short, powerful
blow into Bruce's face and he reeled
backward. The arms of the clansmen
alone kept him from falling.
The blow seemed to daze Bruce; and
at first his only realization was that
the room suddenly rang with harsh
and grating laughter Then Simon's
words broke through it. "Put back
the thongs" he ordered, "and go get
your horses"
Bruce was dimly aware of the fall
ing of a silence. and then the arms Of
strong men half carrying him to the
door. But he couldn't see plainly at
first He knew that the clan had
brought their horses and were waiting
for Simon's command. They loosened
the ropes from about his ankles, and
two of the clansmen swung him on to
the back of horse. Then they passed
a rope under the horses belly and tied
his ankles anew
Simon gave command. and the
strange file started. The night air dis

full realization Of all things came to
him again.
One of the men-he recognized him
as Young Billed the horse on which
he rode. Two of the clansmen rode in

ures in the moonlight. The remainder

self, bowed in his saddle, kept little
to one side. Their shadows were long
and grotesque on the soft grass Of the
meadows, and the only sound was the
soft football of their mounts.
A full mile distant across the lush
fields the cavalcade halted about a
grotesque shadow in the grass. Bruce
didn't have to look at it twice to know
what it was: the half-devoured body
Of the yearling calf that had been the
Killers prey the night before. From
thence on, their operations became as
Outlandish occurrences in a dream.
They took him from the saddle and
bound his feet again, then laid him in
the fragrant grass. They searched his
pockets, taking the forged note that
had led to his downfall. "It saves me
a trip" Simon commented. He saw
two of them lift the torn body of the
animal on to the back of one of the
horses, and he watched duly as the
horse plunged and wheeled under the
unfamiliar weight.
Simon spoke in the silence, but his
words seemed to come from far away.
"Quiet that horse or kill him." he

strengthened. So still it stood, so
seemingly a natural shadow that some
irregularly shaped tree had cast, that
his eyes refused to recognize it. But
in an instant more he knew the truth.
The shadow was that of great
beast that had stalked him clear to the
border Of the moonlight. The Killer
had come for his dead.
