There was pleasant murmur of

a strange, assured feeling of peace
upon him, looked up at the first clear

and Kerrigan sat along the running
board, watching the fire and talking.
Listen" said Barry suddenly, inter.
rupting her own speech. Doc raised his
head for grunt, shifting. "There comes
somebody"
They listened. A coyote-the pale,
pretty ghost of a guilty dog-passed
on the edge of the gloom beyond the
fire, and Barry's hand came to rest on
Halls knee.

in a moment, looking at his watch.

Barry looked around at him slowly,
solemnly. "How d'you known" she
said.
Hal moved a little inside his clothes.
Doesn't feel like him." he said. He
gave short, uneasy laugh Of depre-
cation.
The footfalls-made by heavy, stiff
soled shoes brought their slovenly
beat nearer and stopped. Hal got up
and walked around the car. A broad
glow, as from white and distant fire,
was spread in the east where the moon
would come, but he could see no one
down the road. Evening" he called
into the dark.
"Evenin', evenin'," came a cracked
voice after an interval. "You the folks

the tops of his veteran cow-boots. His
grinning lips were stained at the cor.

watched the fire, not any of the three
who were near it.

cheerily in minute.

"Td tell you lots more" said Barry,

remember it,
Barry, d'you think forget anything
you say-anything, even the first word
you said to me, years ago, when you
used to make me mad?"
"Well, what did say to you f1rst?"
said Barry, challenge cheering her
eyes.
"You said-We were standing in that
place, wherever it was-you know
that place, and you said-No, signals
off. We were in the car and you said
it wasn't my cigarette that burned
your coat"
Barry chuckled at him, slowly and
huskily, with her head little back
and her firm, white throat full. "Close,
Mr.. Ireland close. Pm glad you re-
membered. I used to watch you being
made mad by me and love 1t. And
now" she said, her voice touching
the edge of sorrow, then evading it in
a little sigh: NOW I'm asking you to
let me wash your socks"
The sun set in bold, steady red, a
short ledge of cloud fastened across
it; and the whole dry spread Of the
land-the tawny, tufted sweep Of plain
ground, the rust and gray and emery
stripes of strata under the fiat ter
races of rock, the high, heavy noun
tain peaks piled beyond-all came by
a soft, purple clarity, as If they stood
in tinted water. Hal and Barry had
risen to watch the silent glory of the
colors-she with her back against him
and her hands clasped over his, the
slow rhythm of her breathing under
his touch.
She took falterirg breath and let
it go reluctantly; and Hal, his mouth
near the family fragrant thicket of
hhlf-curls, whispered "What?"

There was memory of solemn
alarm under her smile "Why are you?"
she said dutifully. She sat down facing
the west, her legs doubled and one
firm shoulder hunched where she
leaned against her arm.
"Bee cause" he said, stretching him
self before her, because you've drawn
your lpveliness up into kind of roy
atty that makes you more beautiful
than l thought even you could be.

She turned from her lonely looking
into the west glanced from his mouth
to his eyes with that awed, still con-

"And because" Hal went on, ito

her hat from the golden luxuriance
that ran simply back from the round
of her forehead. She faced the west
again and watched it, trying its far

eyes, Then she turned to him and said
artlessly, what about your socks?"
"Socks?" said Hal, his look laughing
as he glanced at them what about

FASCINATING TALES

THE MISSING MUSKETEER
By Edifha L. Watson

VLIHEN London syndicate en-
w ployed Herbert Hoover, then an
engineer, to hunt for lost mine, II
was a rather good sign that there
really must have been such mine.
Its name was the Musketeer. 1t
lay-and surely it still lies-in the
Fraser river region on the border be-
tween the United States and Canada.
It was found by Jacob Henshaw, an
old prospector, and his partner.
The two men had lived with the In
dams for several years. Perhaps they
first heard of the mine from these
humble friends-or perhaps they STUN
bled onto it as they followed after
the golden phantom. But they found
it rich enough to stay their steps.
They built little cabin, and went to
work.
In September, 1873, Henshaw came
into Vancouver-then small place
just beginning to grow-with donkey
which carried two sacks of ore. he
took this to an assayer, and presently
word spread about that here was some
thing which assayed the richest nortn
of the Comstock lode.
There would have been gold rush
in no time, had anyone known where
to rush. But Henshaw, who could
neither read nor write, had deep
rooted suspicion of his fellow-men
He felt that no good would come OF
it if he gave out even the faintest OF
clues. He knew that he should lille
his claim-but that would place on
record the exact location of his find.
In the meantime, men bothered him
continually, asking all sorts of ques-
tfons, watching every move he made.
To get rid of them he invented vari-
Gus stories, hoping that they would
believe his tales and go away. But
somehow there lacked the ring OF
truth, and no one bothered to take his
cries seriously.
Henshaw was being driven to des-
eration At last he figured that If
could go back and consult with his
rtner, they could work out some way
filing the claim in secret. But here
hs another problem, to get away
thout detection.
How he managed it, no one knew,
somehow Henshaw turned up
ssing" one day. Everyone thought
at he had eluded his annoyers, and
at after while he would return to
lncouver with more ore, or else that
parner would show up, to try what
could do in Henshaw's stead.
Weelss went by; months; years.
Either Of the miners came. No one
ard of them. No one knew what
d happened. Everyone guessed:
rhaps Henshaw had been caught in
blizzard; perhaps his partner had
en- killed by Indians; perhaps
And perhaps some day the Musketeer
I'll be discovered again. So far it
is managed to stay mystery. Men
i've hunted for it, certainly, time and
ne again. Those who have faith in
irits have often been told by these
hseen influences just where to search
but something must be wrong, for
BY seek but never find.

National Religion, Labor Foundation Makes Report

"In contrast to the total of three fourths of the ministers who re- sponded that they would support social insurance, the child labor amendment, freedom of speech and the investigation of labor disputes, only from six to 12 per cent had actually done so. Only seven per cent had worked for government owner ship. Apparently most of these min- isters hold radical ideals but their intentions in this social realm have not yet been translated into action"
 At least half of the clergymen re- plying, the foundation reported, said they would persist in action for justice in economic and industrial realizations, even If this means jeopardizing their positions. "All of this means that among the religious leaders of the United States there is substantial array who are will ing to pay a price for their con- victions. In fact. of the 4,7O0 report ing, SIS had already paid heavy price for action" The majority of replies came from the New England, Middle Atlantic and Central states.
 Replies from the South were few- est and the foundation pointed out that "of the 22,959 southern Baptists addressed only 50 replied. This lack of response itself constitutes a sig- nificant finding on social legisla- tioa." The foundation, a non-sec- tartan organization. was founded in ios0 and Prof. Jerome Davis, Yale Divinity school, Is chairman of the executive committee.

One Time Millionaire Was Located in Mine -Can-

Alamogordo, N. M., Dec. 6.-(UP) Relatives and authorities Strove today to fashion rational explana- tion from fragments of information on the life during the past three months of Joseph w. Ady, onetime millionaire who suffered financial reverSeS.
 The Sportsman-mining engineer, once one of the wealthiest men in the millionaire colony" at Colorado Springs, was found in an abandoned copper near here. He had been hv- ing there several days.
 Could Not Remember
 Ady told Colorado Springs police that he could not remember what had happened to him flor a long time" On the evening of Aug. 30 Ady arrived at his home, greeted his wife and went upstairs to his room. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Ady called him to dinner. He did not respond. She found his room va- cant. An old automobile Ady used on trips to his scattered mining properties was missing. Develop ments revealed that Ady cashed two checks after he left his home that evening. Both, for $55 each, were returned to the bank marked insufficient funds"
 Ransom Demanded
 During his absence his wife re- ceived communication demanding $25, ,0OO in $1,O0O bills for the release of her husband. Payment was to be made in Denver. Cooperating with authorities, Mrs. Ady communicated with the extortionist through clas- sified advertising columns. Depart. ment of justice agents, Police Chief H. B. Harper of Colorado Springs and Inspector I. B. Bruce of the Colorado Springs detective force, learned Ady was living at the old mine. Sheriff Howard s. Beacharn of Alamogordo went there and found him. The sheriff, accom- panied by federal agents, brought him to the county jail.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 6.-(UP) A new social consciousness" is replacing individualism and eco- homie conservation throughout the country as regards progressive leg islation, the National Religion and LabLr Foundation announced today, as result of a nationwide poll of leading religious leaders. Early this year the foundation mailed ques- tionnaires to 100000 clergymen rep resenting 9 major faiths, 47 ques- tions were grouped under II gen. eral fields of action and to date 4,7OO replies have been received.
 The results, it was announced, showed that 2,400 favored govern ment ownership of public utilities: 3,200 said they would preach against lynching and support anti-lynching legislation; 3.846 advocated free speech! 2,100 believed in the right of labor to strike and picket: l,700 were willing to circulate literature sponsoring the cause of labor among their congregations; three-fourths of the respondents favored the child labor amendment and a majority favored unemployment insurance and old age pension.
 In its ofiicial bulletin, Economic Justice" publishing the reports of the poll, the foundation declared that while these findings are startling in their implications, there is vast difference between the number who pledged themselves to act in the future and those who have actually taken such action in the past.

Young Spring & Wire hit 48 up when the company ordered a per cent stock dividend and raised the annual rate from g to s.
 Other markets had their feature. The French franc led 8 sharp rally in foreign exchange when the La val government received another vote of confidence. The curb's fea- ture was Panteppec Oil which came out in large blocks. Allis Chalmers 4 per cent bonds were the most ac- tive on the bond market.
 December corn rose 1-4 cents bushel. Cotton was unchanged. Rubber futures made good gains. Dun & Bradstreet's furnished the bright spot in business. It reported Christmas shopping multiplying re- tail expansion and estimated some sections showing the best figures since 1929.
 Stocks opened fairly active with prices irregularly higher. Traders began to take profits and sold high priced motors. They bought low
