CHAPTER 8

THE EVIDENCE AGAINST JERRY
MacNair, the relentless manhunter,
remained quiet for most of the time
while I told him as much as I knew
of the case. Occasionally he inter-
rupted with a pertinent pointed ques-
ton.
Hyde refused to tell you where he
got the pistol?" he growled.
"Yes.a
"And Hubbard heard Ogden shout
gold bullets while this man Furie was
in the library. Furie, Ell? Good
name, that"
Are you inclined to connect Furic
with the murder?" I asked quickly.
II am inclined to consider him.
That woman In black. too. And Ma
than Hyde, perhaps. Don't misunder-
stand me. I am not saying any Of
them did 1t. They have merely en-
tered the case-that's ALL"
"You are going to help us them"
He flashed his ~dlsconcerting stare
at me.
81 suppose I shall have to-" he
grumbled. ITS about as odd q thing
as I ever tackled"
Lucy gave q sob Of relief. but she
was too overcome to do more than
whisper some incoherent expression
Of her gratitude.
II want 1t clearly understood" he
went on. shat ! play no favors. II I
take the case I look for Ogden's MUIR
derer. When I find him / shall turn
him over to the police, no matter who
he may be. Is that understood"
I nodded, shuddering q little and
avoided Lucy's eyes.
I'VE are not afraid. Mr.. MacNair,"
she assured him bravely.
DO you believe from what I have
told you that Jerry Ogden killed his
father?" Lucy WINGED at my ques-
ton, but 1t had to be asked.
why shouldn't II" he returned
with such brutal directness that Lucy
gave q cry Of pain. Hubbard heard
him talking to his father shortly after
nine. You and Stimson saw him run
ming as II for his life two minutes
after the thing was done. II It had
been any one else you had seen rae
Ing along that walk you'd have known
who killed Ogden"
The mans cynicism appalled, me.
"What about tho possibility that
somebody else was wearing Jerry's
clothes, that somebody else dropped
his keys?" ! ventured. Il didn't see
Jerry's face, remember"
MacNair laughed. ".Why should 1t
be somebody else? Because you want
II to be. Well, never mind ttat." He
lighted Q cigarette. "See here,
reebles. It looks - II young Ogden
killed his father. But I am not start
ing out on the assumption that he
did. I'll draw my conclusions -.
later"
Fair enough" ! agreed.
I'VE understand each. other, then.
You have known Ogden for some
time, ! take it,"
about nine years"
Intimately"
HE was my closest friend"
"Do you know Of anything In his
life that might suggest . motive for
his death?"

TRACTOR SURPLUS MAKER
II and Auto Have Released Big
Acreage Formerly Devoted
to Growing Feed

Farm production in the United
States has increased a half more rap
idly than population since the world
war. This increase in production
certainly has been more rapid than
at any time since 1900 and probably
NOR, rapid than any time since 1890.
Moreover, it has been accomplished
despite a decrease in the number OF
farms and in farm population, a de-
crease in the number OF farm AMI
mails, and a slight decrease III crop
acreage. incomplete data for the
years 1927 and 1923 indicate tina. agri-
cultural production is still increasing
at a rate more rapid than the rate OF
increase In our population. These
facts, together with evidence that
population growth Is slowing up. are
cited by DR.. O. E. Baker, economist III
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. in support Of his belief
that the welfare of agriculture neces-
states careful consideration OF any
proposals involving an increase In
crop acreage.
It should not be necessary. he be-
lieves, to expand the net farm area
of the nation during the next decade.
"Nearly all the requisite increase in
our crop acreage" he says, could be
obtained by c%ultivating the crop land
that Is now idle in farms. In addi-
ton to this idle crop land. u farms
contain more than loo, 00O, 900 acres
Of plowablc pasture, as we'll as large
areas that could be cropped II cleared
or drained. However. there will un-
doubtedly be a. notable increase IN
crop acreage in the Great Plains re-
gion. where the tractor and combine
are making super-marginal millions
of acres of scmi-arid land that was
formerly sub-marginal: and probably
there will be a continued decrease IN
crop acreage in the hilly and less fer
tile lands of the east and south. After
1910 the country will still have avail
able ONT 500, 900, 900 acres of poten-
TALLY cultivable land. an area greater
than the total cultivated land at
present. Less than half of this amount
would need to be added to the exist
ing crop area in order to supply a
population Of 100000 200. AS acre
yields Of the crops are likely to in
crease, and the increasing production
Of meat and milk per unit of feed
consumed by farm animals is likely to
continue. it may be that not more
than one-fourth of this 500. 000. 900
acres of potential crop land will ever
be used for crops. unless the United
States should be called on to con-
tribute increasingly to the foreign de-
mand for food and fibres."

GAINS IN JEWELRY
SALES ARE REPORTED
Intrinsic Values of Gems Have
Increased Greatly in Mod

NEW YORK, February 4.-Manu-
featuring jewelers. claim that more pre-
cious stones and jewelry have been
bought by Americans in the last IL
months than in any similar period
previously.
Fashion, however has played strange
tricks in the jewelry trade.
The gems are the same as in the
days of Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba, but they are cut differently and
set differently. Their intrinsic value,
however, especially in the case of dia-
monds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires,
has grown by leaps and bounds.
TiaraS have gone out of style, except
for the most formal occasions of the
European courts. Queen Marie of Ru-
mania is the only known member of
royalty who carries her crown with her
The old style Stomacher also has been
abandoned.
Many women who have extraordinary
Jewels do not wear them. They are
heSitant to do so in these days of gun
men and gigolos. Many have duplicates
in synthetic stones. Others wear syn
thetic stones from preference, changing
the jewels with each change of costume.
The imitation gems are not inexpen-
SlNe. 1ney may De set IN platinum and
surrounded with real gems of smaller
size. 1t Is not unusual for fashionable
woman TO pay $1,000 to $4,000 for
lavaliere, the central stone of which OBJ
yiously is false.
Styles have revolutionized the watch
making industry. The vogue of the
wrist watch has practically eliminated
the old hunting-case timepiece. jew
elers say the present open-faced pocket
watch is likely to follow the same trail
to oblivion.
Reliability is no less desirable now
than go years ago and the makers of
wrist watches have had to develop
movements essentially different from
any previously known. The makers have
had to provide timepieces of the small
est size, which nevertheless are sturdy
enough to Withstand any rough treat
ment which may be accorded them.
Since reduction in size meant an in
crease in cost, the makers had to de-
