serenity had settled over the sher-

were blank, except for the informa-
ton that a local dealer had re-
possessed an automobile. Arrests
were non-eXistent. The officers
register showed no important trips,
ureasons for journeys out OF the Of
flee being confined mostly to in
yestigation.
Early indications today were that
the same placidity would hold sway
in an Imperial county apparently
free of fresh crimes.

to enlist the. girls aid in saving
her brother are unavailing. until
the final moment before she would
send him to his death, a smashing
climax being provided in the scene
that causes the girl to make her
decision.
