 More comfortable in mind and body, I looked about and decided I had tumbled nito Lundy's Place. l got some of the sand out of my eyes and stood up. My head felt twice its normal size and my legs were as weak as straws. I was feeling around for a chair when I stopped sharply, my body turned to stone.
 Ever since I had come into this graveyard town my senses had been abnormally acute. The impression that I was being watched was at me again, stronger than ever. I could have sworn there was some one other than myself in the build ing.
 There came lull in the roar of the storm, and suddenly, out of the profound silence, definite indoor sound broke on my eardrums. It 2 wasn't the sound that brought me up rigid, heart pounding in my throat; it was the sense of danger that came with it. Someone was in the room. Why didn't he declare himself? Who was he? The man who fired on me in the canyon? No, he could not have got down here before me. Dillon, then? This was more probable.
 Fear held me as in vice. An unknown, unseen enemy sends the horrors up and down my spine. Moreover, I had no weapon Of any sort, whereas Dillon would be armed. I pondered swiftly, desper- ately, and decided on a risky ex- pertinent.

 Keeping close to the wall, moved noiselessly down the gal lery, and entered upon the most terrific half hour of my life. The gallery ran around the four walls of the hall. Now I came to the end. Dillon was somewhere behind me. Or was he waiting near the head of the stairs for me to circle the gallery and run into his arms?

Chapter 21 STALKED BY A KILLER

The wind yammered and snarled like a regiment of baboons. Blasts volleyed in through the open door. I had heard and read of sand storms of Skull Valley securing the enamel off a car and grinding the glass of windshield until it was opaque.
 The thought of Lucy and Jerry out in it gave me bad minute or two. But I reflected that Jerry had a sound head on his shoulders, and

 Halfway up the west side of the gallery I stopped once more. A beam of light shot out of the dark ness in my rear 30 feet away. He had kept the torch back until he was sure I was unarmed Now he knew he had me. I drove myself on again Just then I pitched 1 headlong over a broken chair and slid along the floor. I squirmed into the further corner of par titioned alcove next to the wall. My pursuer could not see me. My hands fell upon the back of a chair I picked it up, whirled it around the alcove partition and let go.
 The chair went home. The man cursed and the light beam swept downward it fell through the well of the hall. A tinkle of glass as it struck the floor was faintly audi ble.

My head as well as my body struck the wall, and I passed into that borderland between sensibility and inconsistencies. My enemy was groping for his pistol. I could not lift hand to stop him.

TEACH CHILD

BY Lucy LOwoelI-

by Lucy LOWOell
IN recent issue OF popular
! magazine there appeared an
excellent editorial regarding chill
dren who do not know how to
swim. And for fear some Of you
missed it am going to quote
parts of it.
1t said: "a 1O.year-old boy who
could not swim waded into water
over his head. as boys have done
from the beginning. A 14-year-old
boy who could swim went after
him, as swimmers have dared to
do since man discovered that he
and stones were not brothers in
the water.
Both were lost. Not only
there but. in nearly every COM
munity every year.

AS the editorial states, It al.
ways happens at some time or

Inotherly warnings or fatherfy
commands and venture into water,
And there should be no reason for
such commands. For the safety

When Manners Are Correct
