the memorial building proposed we
can foregather here and discuss our
southwestern problems and join our
energies and activities for the COM

will sacrifice nothing by taking on
itself the role the adjoining commu-
mites wish on US. On the other hand,
we will be gamers in all ways. It
means prestige for us in state affairs
as we'll as In u surrounding home
communities and in the adjoining

Local Benefits Assayed
Then, there is the purely local ben
efits to consider. That is considerable
from the recreational point of view
itself. With this building we plan to
provide q place where our schools can
adequately stage their indoor ath-
letics. We propose to provide for ath-
letic recreation In such features as the
swimming pool that is to be . part OF
the proposed structure. The national
guard company will have . place Of

the mill goes into the new wheat mix.

would have been disastrous as we had
sales on the books calling for high

have been gotten, would have resulted
in poor quality Of flour and DAM
ages from purchasers of these con-
tracts calling for high protein wheat
mix. The present premiums are the
lowest they have been for several

at me. And before I could prevent
him he hoped into the hall. shook
his fist in my face. and screamed:

hall just then and asked him what he
wanted.
"A word with yc in private the
old mar cackled.
And do you know, sir, after think
ing a moment, Mr.. Ogden brought
him in here and shut the door! I was
stunned. Mr.. Ogden has always been
SO particular about suspicious looking
characters"
Did Mr.. Ogden seem surprised at
seeing the man?" I asked.
HE did, sir. Dumbfounded, I
might say. At first I thought he
hadn't caught what Furie. said, Mr..

ear. as you know, sir; and then I
heard him muttering the mans name
over and over. 'Furie, Furie, Furie!'

Never, sir"
What time did he go?"
About six, I believe. Mr.. Ogden
then called in Mr.. Jerry and instruct
cd me not to have them disturbed"
when did you last sec Mr.. Jerry?"
I asked casually.
"When Mr.. Ogden called me in, sir.
At six"
How was he drcsscd?" I went on,
In the same tone.
I'm his flannels, sir"
shut my eyes for an instant.
Hubbard" I resumed quietly, did
you chance to overhear any of the
conversation between Furic and Mr..
Ogden?"
Hubbard flushed. "Well, sir, I did,
but 1t was quite unintentional on my
part. I was passing along the hall
and I heard Mr.. Ogden utter two
words in angry tones. He shouted
them and they quite startled me. /
heard nothing else. sir"
What were those words, HUB
bard?"
"'Gold bullets sir"
I started 81 violently that Hubbard
looked at me in surprise. It took
me a moment to reassemble my scat
tered wits. Could it be possible that
the Peterson revolver vas in some
way connected with Furie's interview
with Ogden?
What a strange concurrence of
events! First, Hyde's refusal to tell
mi anything about the revolver; then,
Andrews telephone call, Jerry's
white -flanneled figure flying down
the drive, Andrew stabbed to death
at the telephone: and finally, this
thing Hubbard had told me Were
these events links Of q chain that ran
back into the limbo Of Ogden's past?
And Jerry? For a moment my faith
in him was shaken.
Dreadful as my announcement to
Lucy must be, would the truth COM
pei me to make it inconceivably more
so? My agony Of heart became unen-
durable.
A heavy pounding sounded at the
front door. Hubbard hurried into the
hall. He reappeared with Henry Dea-
con, DR.. Oakley, a local surgeon, and
Thompson. a sergeant of detectives.
