(BY L. r.

WatfOrd City, N. D., May IT,
Some fifty farmers gathered here
today to celebrate the Norwegian
Fourth of July by repossessing a
truck taken from John Bergeron
by the General Motors collector.
Mr.. Bergeron had made out
papers until this fall with a pro-

garage man, took the truck from
Mr.. Bergeron's farm.
DECIDE TO TAKE TRUCK
A meeting of farmers and some
county officials was held Tuesday
evening and the farmers decided
to get the truck out of the garage
and return it to Mr.. Bergeron
who had paid all but two hundred
and some dollars on it.

CROCODILE AND SNAKE
BATTLE TO THE DEATH
Unusual Incident in Picture Was
Caught by Acct

Not all of the adventures which
occur during the making OF picture
in a foreign land are apparent to the
movie-goer since many of them are not
included in the picture as shown in
theaters. This was especially true Of
"Samarang" the picture coming to the

Ward Wing. director of the picture
who headed the expedition into the
Malay jungles, tells Of one particular
adventure which showed the patience
required to take q picture like "Sama-
rang" and the disappointments entailed
in the making of it.
One day the players came upon a
huge python measuring fully % feet in
length crawling toward swamp. And
when the members of the crew turned
their eyes in the direction in which the
snake was going they saw huge croc-
odlle apparently asleep. Sensing the
possibility of battle which would be
real thrill between the two reptiles,
Wing ordered the cameras set up to
catch it. Slowly the snake crawled up
to the crocodile while the latter slept
on, apparently blissfully unaware of the
danger lurking in the python's con-
stricting coils. Within foot Of the
crocodile the python stopped. Then
slowly he circled round and round,
but the crocodile slept on.
For two hours Wing and his crew
watched breathlessly as the snake ap-
parently tempted fate time after time.
But. undismayed, they waited.
Finally the python went too close
The crocodile, as if he had been wait
ing for the opportunity. opened his jaws
with a snap and closed them quickly
with a crack that made noise reSem-
bling the bursting of an air-filled bal

All this happened In a matter Of sec

man had no opportunity to photograph
it fully.
Wing sent some natives after the
snake and found him with his back
broken. The crocodile Numbered of

brief struggle was on celluloid all

this:
Because cattle eat wild mustard

BY Mignon G. Eberhdrt

Thus it was something Of a shock
when the priest did not appear at din
ner. When we discovered that he was
not in the lounge, not in his own room,
not anywhere about the hotel.
With Sue safe in her room and prom
ising to remain there We went together
to the courtyard and told the police
stationed there.
The priests coat and hat were gone
from his room. but nothing else. The
obvious inference was that he had man.
aged to escape-exactly how, no one
knew. for the police said no one had
passed that way, and Paul. in the
kitchen, with another policeman, was
equally sure he'd not gone that way.
He had glided past me In the cor
ridor and turned the corner and van
ished from the hauntS of men.
For I was the last one to have seen
hinl-or at least the last who admitted
seeing him-which fact did not improve
my standing with the police. But with
his escape, naturally. the tide of suS-
picion turned his way, and 1t was not
even necessary to tell the police of the
reasons for my own suspicious regarding
the man.
Altogether it was near midnight be-
fore things settled down. Lorn and !
finished talking-a talk that was eager
enough but that went in circles of
batfled surmise and could come to no
out-and-out conclusions-and finally
went upstairs again. We stopped at
Sues door and told her simply that the
priest had escaped, and thought from
the look on her face that perhaps she
did not believe in the man after all and
was relieved to know he was gone.
I'll take the revolver you promised
to lend me now" said to Lorn.
Very we'll" He looked and think
was reluctant. But don't do anything
rash with it. I've got it here in my
pocket"
But if with the revolver making a
comfortable little sag in my pocket and
the knowledge that the gliding black
presence of the priest was no longer
haunting the dim corridors of the
place I had thought things would be
better, was never more mistaken in

worst night I spent In Armene, bar

CHAPTER AAAII.
BLACK SHADOW.


TT was perhaps the maid, on le-
gitimate errand 1t could only be
Marianne or the priest OF Lorn;
i all others were accounted for. But
I must know who was moving
about in that room.
A little back toward the north corr1-
dor again was the small niche where
I'd seen Lorn and Sue talking that first
day Of his arrival. ! quietly retraced
my steps toward it.
The place was silent and deserted;
the red carpet looked dim and faded In
the half light; the heavy curtain near
me smelled of dust.
l scarcely shifted my eyes from the
spot where, if the door opened, 1t must
swing outward. 1t opened only little
at first, as if to permit reconnolterlng
glance along the corridor, then more
fully. Something slid out and obscured
my view of the closing door. I had no
time tin to make sure I was concealed by
the curtain, for the swift black shadow
bore swiftly down upon me-and in an
other second it had glided silently past
me.
1t was Father Robart, of course. He
did not see me. and l remembered what
Lorn had said and did not intercept
him as I longed to do.
He was walking swiftly, silently. his
head bent and his red beard flaming.
Afterward I tried to think whether
he'd carried anything in his hands, but
could not be sure.
Then he slipped around the corner OF
the intersecting passage which led to
his own room, and I emerged.
There had been something terribly
furtive about him. wished Lorn had
been with me and realized suddenly
that here was what amounted to con-
vincing evidence against the priest.
Lorn arrived perhaps two hours later,
and I told him of the convincing evi-
dence against the priest. His dark eyes
frightened a little, but otherwise he
was net much affected.
You think I'm slow and too eau
tious," he finally said We'll, that's
true; but I'm inclined to think my mis-
takes would hurt you more than any one
else"
I'm not worrying about myself, but
I don't want that devil to get his hands
on Miss Tally!"
Lorn's eyebrows went up little.
''He won't" he said quietly. "Immedi-
ately after dinner we'll have Miss Tally
go to her room, lock the door, and one
of us can guard her door while the
other goes to the police. Does that
suit you?"
Yes" I said not liking the impress
sion he gave of indulging a childish
notion of my own. III watch her
door" I added stubbornly.
That's good" said Lorn dryly.
Then I'd better inform the police. Let
me see-just what shall 1 tell them?
That Father Robart arranged false
alibi; that you saw him leaving Miss
Tally's room surreptitiously-and that
you are convinced. in spite Of his papers
and claims being under investigation
by the police, being, in fact, no priest
at all"
