TWO DISCOVERIES

Pierre arose and, keeping his eye on his companion, and his weapon ready, moved to Bruce's body and carefully searched the dead mans clothing, transferring everything that he found to his own pockets. This done, he stood gazing down at the still form on the ground as if lost in thought.
 The mother man moved steal- thy step nearer and instantly found himself covered by the gun in Pierre's steady hand.
 Don't make that mistake again, . said Pierre sharply. Get your pack-were going. No, get your pick and shovel first. can't leave Bruce like this. I couldn't tell Ann that we did not even bury him. You must dig grave. Dig it there" He pointed to spot a few feet away.
 Dig a gravel" the other ex- claimed looking at Pierre. "Tll be damned if I'll do any such fool thing
 "Youn die if you don't" Pierre retorted coolly, raising his wea- pon.
 But think of the exertion in this heat!7 protested the other. Short of water as we are, you're crazy to thing of such a waste of strength and time. We'll do well if we last to make Dripping Spring as it isl"
 As well might the man have pro- tested to an inanimate machine. Pierre Donovan forced him to do his bidding. While the other toiled with pick and shovel, Pierre sat on guard.
 It was a grueseme scene-the desolate surroundings, the dead body, the murderer forced by the fear of death to dig grave for his victim; the outwardly impas- siye and implacable watcher with his weapon ready for instant use
 The mans task was perhaps halt completed when suddenly with a startled cry he threw aside his pick and went down on his knees Pierre, thinking the mans actior ruse to throw him off guard, die not move.
 The man sprang to his feet and seizing his pick, used it for min. ute with fierce energy. Again ht half disappeared in the grave. Al instant later he arose, beside him. self with wild excitement. In hi hands was large piece of whit, quartz

Robbins and Jones flew the in land route.
 They expected to make Fairbanks within II or 12 hours.
 Robbins and Jones arrived over Fairbanks at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the refueller took off to give them 200 gallons of gasoline.
 On their previous flight, several weeks ago, Robbins and Jones con- tacted over Fairbanks with Pilots Nick Greener and Jimmy Mattern in their refusling plane, then both started for Solomon. At Solomon bad weather was encountered and it was impossible to make a second contact with the refueler. The two fliers then returned to Seattle, in stalled a new motor and hopped off again yesterday morning from Boeing Field.

will go without question. With the fortune we have here we'll find way to clear Ann's father. It will all be easy enough with these mil lions to help us."
 Holding out the location notice the man approached Pierre. Here, i" he said, Took this over while l fix up monument for it."
 Still smiling and covertly watch ing Pierre, he began piling up a little monument of rocks such as prospectors use to mark their claims.
 Pierre, keeping him covered, took the paper from his hands and won dered uneasily at the triumphant smile on the mans face.
 Pierre looked at the location mo- tice: Bruce Carey, Pierre Dono- van, Roy Donovan"
 Roy Donovan-R oy Donovan!'' Pierre rose slowly to his feet.
 The other man faced him with triumphant laugh. Well, son, it's been a long time since we met" Are you Roy Donovan?"
 "Surest thing you know"
 "My-my father?"
 Roy Donovan laughed. That's another card in our little game, heh, kid? I somehow can't quite see Harriet Neel's boy turning his own father over to hang for mur- der, can you?" With bowed head Pierre turned his back on his companion and moved listlessly toward the spot where he had left his canteen and pack.
 Roy Donovan followed stealthily, step by step.
 Dropping his gun, Pierre swung the pack over his shoulder and picked up the canteen. But he paused and, as if his strength were not equal to the anguish of the situation, he leaned heavily against the low, rocky wall, his face hidden in his arms. The older man, moving swiftly, silently reached the gun. Another instant and the weapon was in his hand.

ROME, July 7. U.P)-Marked re-
lief from tension of the past sew
eral days was apparent today as

modification as 1t became known
that the premier was taking a mod
crate position which might bring
carly termination of the discords
prevalent for weeks.
Earlier resentment over the
Pope's action in publishing his en-
cyclical outside Italy to prevent al
legged Fasist interference, appeared
to have died down as 1t became ap-
parent that Mussolini's counter
tactics would be based on mildness
rather than strenuous return

An important point in the Musso-
lini note was expected to be the re-
spect shown by Italian officials to-

CANADA PROBES
OPERATIONS OF
FILM COMBINE

OTTAWA, July 7. U.P) - The
Paramount Publix corporation OF
the United States was named to-
day in a royal Investigating COM
mission report as a leading party
in an alleged motion picture COM
bine in Canada.
The report, made by Peter White
as royal commissioner, held that
Paramount Publix owned SO per
cent of the stock of the Famous
Players Canadian Corporation,
thereby being the active power in
control of the combine.
Other companies which White
held were parties to the combina-
ton or assisted in its operations
are the First National Pictures,
Warner Bros, and Vitagraph, with
number of Canadian subsidiaries
of the American companies.
Famous Players, the report held,
controls the motion picture industry
in Canada and employs monopolis-
tic methods to extend it's holdings,
such as refusing to supply films to
independent theaters, buying up
theaters or Threatening to build
alongside independents.
The combine, according to the re-
port, has the assistance of the Mo-
ton Picture Distributors and Ex-
hibitors of Canada, said to be af-
filiated with the Hays organization
in the United States.
White suggested the showing of
more British pictures, thereby
promoting British manners, Brit
ish English and British ideals.'
The combines investigation act,
| by authority of which White inves-
tigated, provides for prosecution of
parties involved but some time must
elapse before a decision IS taken re-
| garding the action. The commits
sioner's findings are first referred
to the provincial authorities who
may institute proceedings. If they
do not undertake this, the federal
government, after lapse of three
months, may enter an action.
Proceedings by one or the other
of these groups of authorities is
likely within a few months.
