source. There is every reason to
think that his slayer is still about
this house and plantation, and every
possible effort will be made to chase
him down. No one will be able to
leave-first, because of a rule that
necessity prescribes; and second, be-
cause Of the flood. Detectives will
be sent out here to investigate"
And what was the blow dealt
within Villas asked nervously.
Couldn't you-fnd the weapon?"
Southley looked at him sharply.
THAT will be hunted for tomor-

tell was that he was struck with
some blunt sort of weapon, and
with terrific power-enough power
to snap his neck like a reed. The
blunt weapon must have had two
nails or spikes-because there are
two deep parallel scratches in the
bruised flesh
My eyes were upon Villas face.
He didn't look at us.
Il only know one thing-one kind
of weapon that would leave
mark like that" he said in a strange,
harsh tone. "And that isn't a wea-

"Tin pants" are standard equip

This is some Of the philosophy and

nit Of Mount Rainier in Washington.
Fenton, who is the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. P. Goddard, with two
friends, Bill Harold and Allen Green,

recently.
Here is Fenton's own story Of their
hazardous trip:

to Rainier park and up through the
park to Paradise Inn up in the noun
