Tinies are in bed, go right to sleep. Don't talk and laugh. Twill just keep you awake.
 T have some ropes which I will use to rock you, and no time I'll lose" When Dotty saw him tie the ropes, she said, "'For goodness sake.
 This ought to be like swing ing in a cradle" This made Gold ly grin. Said she, We're just like babies, being rocked to sleep like this.
 Come on, now, show us how it's done. I'll bet twill be a heap of fun. I'm glad I'm in this ham, mock. It's treat I'd hate to miss"
 The hunter then ran to and fro, to make the loaded hammocks go. He watched the Tinies squirm around bit, but didn't peep.
 The moon came peaking through a cloud and whispered, You should feel real proud. You have succeeded, hunter man, in rocking them to sleep" Copyright, 1884 NEA Service, Inc.

Into the hammock all the bunch soon crawled. Said Scouty, I've a hunch that none of us will sleep a wink. It is too crowd ed here.
 "This hammock should bring lots of fun, but we should have another one. I cannot sleep with someone's elbow sticking in my ear.''
 This made the little hunter smile, and then he said, Now, wait a while. I have another hammock, and I'll get it right away"
 It didn't ta him very long. Cried he, This one is also strong Three of you scramble into it." The Tinies cried, "Hurrayi"

hour" Barnes went on, "and fol-
lowed those tracks south. We
couldn't go far, for the wind
soon wiped out every trace, but
the man must have been bound
toward Copper Canyon"
Barnes opened a drawer, and
pulling out the empty shell of a
.38 automatic cartridge, laid it
on the desk.
''Next morning I found this
near where Bruce lay. Since
then we've learned nothing ex-
cept that the Mexican author
tiles at Laredo are holding a
man on suspicion"
Dick asked suddenly, what
might have been the motive,
Will?"
What Motive?
Barnes shook his head and
again those long fingers played
with the pencil. Bruce had no
enemies. I've been trying to
think of people who might have
personal grudges against him,
but I can't-they don't exist.
All I can offer is the changed
condition around Verde. It's a
far different Verde you've come
back to. A crowd of human
der>licts flocked in when the ir-
rigation work began. We've had
killings, both here and up Cop
per Canyon, where most of the
men live who worked on the
dam. OF course, the motive
could have been robbery"
Had anything been taken?"
II found his coat opened.
That looked odd because of the
coldness of the night. But his
watch was untouched"
The elder Lowell shook his
head. "We don't have robbers
out here-not that kind. 1t
was something else-probably
revenge. Bruce was headStrong
and willful." Lowell's eyes
fixed for a moment on his re-
manning son. II seem to have
sired wild stock"
Something in the bitterness
of his voice pierced Nora like
a physical pain. There wasn't
a man in the desert who didn't
like Bruce-not one, even to
the peon sheepherders," she
reminded him gently.
No one spoke, each troubled
with unanswered ughts,
while the wheels outside turned
complainingly, heaping up
great piles of paper still damp
and warm from the presses.
At last Dick broke the
baffled silence. what had
Bruce been doing the last day
of his life?"
A Hint
Barnes paused in the act of
rolling a cigarette, then shook
his head. II don't believe he
said" He looked at Nora, who
stood frowning, as if trying to
recall some half forgotten word.
Presently her face cleared.
II remember. He had been
surveying a piece of land"
"Surveying!" A note of pent-
up excitement crept into Dicks
voice. Where, Nora?"
1T must have been near the
dam. He came direct to our
ranch from there"
"And that night he seemed
different-just how?"
The girl hesitated. "He
seemed unhappy and troubled"
He spoke of fathers irri-
CATION Work?"
Again she hesitated, and the
older man, reading her thought,
urged, Answer him, Nora. I'll
understand"
Reluctantly she replied,
"Bruce'S words were, This
dirty land steal by Sari and
his tools is only just begin
ming I asked him what he
meant but he shook his head"

Turning to his father, the
girl asked: ITO the ranch,
Uncle Solon?"
But Lowell shook his head.
"Not yet. Who knows about
this murder?" He spoke with
out emotion, his armour of
1nsensibility once more secure.
ut was Will who found
Bruce"
your brother?"
She nodded.
"Where is Will now?"
"At the office"
Grimly Solon Lowell directed,
"Take me to the office"
In the Back
The Verde Times, only news
paper of the little border town,
was printed in a low adobe
building where Nora's brother
had his office as editor. AS
they entered Dick caught sight
of him standing in shirt
sleeves before his desk, one
hand holding a green eyeshade.
Casually observed, Will Barnes
might have belonged to the
Student-dreamer type. High
forehead and hair habitually
disarranged, deep, sensitive eyes
that seemed always to be re-
garding not only what one
said but what lay behind the
words themselves. Long, nerv.
Gus fingers were continually
in motion and a little stoop
had come from years of bend
ing over a desk.
The older Lowell gave Barnes
no opportunity for any express
sion of sympathy, but after a
perfunctory handshake lighted
the cigar still clenched between
his teeth, and looking at him
from beneath his shaggy brows
demanded. Twill, how did
Bruce die?"
Without answering, Barnes
closed the door and for a time
played with a large blue pencil
before him. At last he raised
his head.
It'll tell you all I know
it isn't much. Bruce had
been to my ranch for supper.
He stayed with Nora and me
until about ten o'clock. I
thought at the time he had
something on his mind. some
thing he wanted to tell us but
couldn't. He seemed unusually
serious for Bruce, and bitter
about"
about what?"
Barnes looked directly at
Lowell. about your irrigation
scheme. In a lower voice he
went on. when Bruce left I
sent one of the boys out to the
corral for his horse. It was
cold night and I didn't wait
until he mounted, but went
back to the house. An hour
later my office called me about
a message I'd been waiting for.
My car was laid up in Verde for
repairs so I Saddled and took
the short cut. 1t was one of
those black, Wintry nights and
I kept at gallop. Then, just
beyond the line that divides the
ranches, my horse SHE'D sud-
denly and almost threw me-"
At Close Range
Wills fist clenched. 1T was
Bruce. He lay face downward in
the sand and his horse was
standing not fifty yards away.
He had been shot in the back,
directly between the shoulder
blades, with a thirty-eight auto
matte. He was quite dead"
Rick looked up. Were there
signs of struggle, Will?"
None. The man must have
ridden beside him and fired
from very close range, for the
powder had stained Bruce's
coat. There we're faint i'm.
