CONTINUED from Last Week.
On the day after Christmas, in spite
of a driving snow, Hugh began work
on the exhuming of the triceratops.
He insisted upon being lowered first
to receive the impedimenta required
in the delicate and highly technical
business of uncovering the Stone
Devil.
1t was bitter cold and dusky within
the cave. Hugh's first act was to rip
out some of the ancient cedar posts
with which portion of the walls
were shored and to start fire In the
crude stone fireplace which still lean
ed crafty against a crevice to the left
of the doorway. This done, he stood
in the fire glow, arms folded, staring
at the skeleton in the overcoat. Then
sudden fury swept over him and
with swift movement Of his foot he
thrust the CHASTITY remains Of Jimmie
Duncan into the roaring flames. An
hour later he shouted up to his help
ers to lower the first box.
Red Wolf had declined to come
down, and Hugh, knowing the old
mans reasons, did not urge him, much
as he needed the held of third man
The cave was very dry and there
had been little weathering of the
dinosaur. Nevertheless, it took all OF
Hugh's knowledge and skill Of hand
combined with Fred's not to be de
spised facility in the handling of the
pick and shovel, to work the tricer
atops out of his long resting place
| Toward the last, when 1t would have
seemed impossible to the lay eye tt
save crumbling rib or the strange
armor of the neck, the pick was aban
doned and the two men, hands stiff
fened with the cold, worked with aw
and brush, until the whole terrible
length of the monster had been per
fectly exhumed. Then each fossil
bone must be saturated with mucilag
and wrapped with burlap strips, dip
ped in plaster of Paris, before beinl
packed carefully into boxes an
; crates.

Santa to Broadcast
On Radio, on Monday

Santa Claus has just finished over.
hauling his airplane and will be ready
for the second annual radio Christ
mas celebration at the Crosley WLW
broadcasting studio, Cincinnati, next
Monday.
Last year Powell Crosley, Jr., held a
big party at Music Hall, Cincinnati,
that was attended by hundreds Of
children. A lively program has been
arranged for similar program this
year with fine music, clowns and San
ia Claus and his candy.
To the little folks who cannot at
tend there will be the broadcasting of
the entire proceedings which may be
heard in the comfort of their own
homes.
Last year there were many hearts
made glad and hundreds of little chill
dren smiled when they saw the fine
toys Santa Claus sent them. Now
Santa was SO busy he could not col
lect all of the toys, but asked the
radio fans to send them to the Cros-
ley studio, from which place willing
helpers distributed them to the needy
kiddies in institutions. So don't for
get to send in your toys so they may
be distributed in plenty of time for
the children to have them on Christ
mas morning.
When Santa Claus gave his big
Midsummer Festival in Burnet Woods
and few across the heads of the kid
dies before landing and coming to
the platform built for him, he made
host of new friends who promised
to write to him and help him make
his party at Christmas time a big at
fair. more Good WHIP was the song
sung by the thousands of children, and
they meant every word Of it, too.

Fort Sioux

When, after many weeks, the awful
god Of the cave had been rendered
harmless, the two men packed up the
best of the ancient weapons and pot
terry and sent these up the wall to the
camp. The cases containing the tri-
ceratops were too heavy to handle
thus and were destined to remain in
the cave until spring, when the river
would be hospitalble to the idea Of
transporting them. They drew on
Red VOLTS help, however, in working
out crude trail down to the river
from the cave opening. This took
many days Of hard toll.
1t was late March when the camp
was broken and the start was made
for Fort Sioux, the freight wagon
loaded with the boxes of weapons and
pottery.
The SHOWS were disappearing from
the plains, though they were still
heavy along the canyon edge. Spring
was in the air, If not under foot, on
the last day of the trip and Hugh
found himself Unexpectedly eager to
reach the warmth and comfort of Fort
Sioux, eager for the physical comfort
Of home, but dreading in wordless
way the reaction of Jessie to his won
derful three months work. However,
1t would be highly appreciated in New
York if it was not in Fort Sioux,
thought Hugh, his mouth twisting
slightly as he thought Of Jessie's in
evitable comment:
Gee whiz! It's like being married
to the keeper Of cemetery"
1t was mid-morning and he wanted
to make Fort Sioux that night. Ten
miles of sandy road. He settled to
this last lap Of the journey with dog
ged determination. All day long the
road appeared and disappeared over
the rolling yellow plains like quick
silver. Purple peaks appeared at in

the horizon, then dropped away. Now
