Only one pair of eyes caught the
lightning CLEAN of the drawn gun.
There was a stunning double report.
Fallon's gun went out of his hand
as if he had thrown it away. With
a blankly staring look he sagged in
a crumpling fall, dropped by a bull
let in the brain from a gun which
Speed had jerked from the holster
of the belated police guard.
Ie seemed that his body was still
falling when Speed jumped the
courtroom floor and leaped for the
open window.

with the river before him and a
long shore-line of wharves and
docked barges, there is no telling

But the odds were too steep. A
gun crashed as his boot touched
the sill, and Speed fell backward in
to the courtroom.
For an instant the court stood
dazed in the swirling smoke.
The bar of the prisoners dock
broke in splinters; Maitland was
struggling in the hold of two police
guards, to reach his partner.
Yet even in that frozen moment
the wheel of Justice turned. Judge
Dugas looked down on the fallen
outlaw with a curious stiffness, and
then at Wade, whose response,
though no one heard it, was trans
lated to the police guards.

cularly important at this time of
year, Gardner points out, since it
is essential to control insects and
diseases before they have time to
develop.s
The spraying or busting should
be done at the right time and with
the proper materials. Apply them
thoroughly to all parts of the plant.
Calendars showing the recon-
mended spray mixtures for apple
and peach trees, and the time to use
them, may be obtained without
cost from the agricultural editor at
State College, Raleigh.
Frequent cultivation of the soil
will keep down grass and weeds,
which rob the soil Of moisture and
food that should be available for
the crops. But do not cultivate
too deeply, Gardner warns, so deep
cultivation often injuries the plant
roots.
In June, he adds, succession
planting may be made of sweet
corn, snap beans, and cowpeas.
Tomato seed may be planted for a
late crop.
Pleasing the housewife is a big
factor in the sale of fruits and
vegetables, he says. A clean, well
prepared product of standard grade
will do much to solve the market
ing problem.

"There was a light-fingered per
son on the ship" Rose said, "whc
had come North to dip for gold in
miners pockets. I suggested that
her try Owens, and so I obtained
Dalton's own letter."
"Where is the letter now? the
Judge asked, when the hum caused
by this strange admission subsidized
II still have it."
Judge Dugas tugged meditatively
at the white linen neckpiece under
his chin.
Rose continued carefully. Shs
had resolved to outplay Fallon for
the gold. If Owens had been de-
pendable, she might have told him
the truth about Fallon and planned
the counter-move with him. As it
was, she laid her own plans.
She knew-as Owens did not
that while Fallon could threaten
the rancher with exposure of the
Neveda crime, he couldn't carry
the bluff through without exposing
himself as Reeves.
When Speed and his partner ar
rived at Skagway, she chose them
on sight as the kind Of men she
needed, and made them a blind
proposition to do a trailing job for
her-persisting in the intention
after they refused.
Her account of what followed
explained several questions that had
puzzled them. She ascribed Owens
death to fear. The drunken rancher
had crumpled he knew, and then
between fear of judgment and more
drink to drown his fear, had
drowned himself.
With Owens gone, Fallon had
tried to hold Pete, believing she
might know more than he had
learned from Owens, and realizing
that she herself was a very desir-
able, unclaimed prize. These points
Rose conveyed by suggestion rather
than direct statement, but they
were none the less clear. She de-
scribed the peculiar turn that had
thrown Speed and Maitland into a
clash of their own with Fallon on
the trail, allowing Pete to win free
over the pass. The first idea she
drew from this was that Pete had
taken them into her confidence, but
as she now reminded Wade and
the court-if they had been inter-
ested in the gold at that time, they
could have killed Fallon without in
curing blame, and with a big say
ing of trouble to themselves.
On their return to Skagway for
their horses and outfit, she had been
all the more determined to use them
because of their feud with Fallon,
and had tried to interest them in
the gold. Her warning about the
shell-dealer was due to a tip she
received from Lefty, who had sha-
dowed the man for her. Remem-
bering how the stranger had been

cent; knew it, among other reasons,

Owens, and a readable proof of who

Wade stirred in his chair. The
crowd murmured, fearing another
objection.
"Part of Dalton's letter read"
Rose quoted evenly, You would
MT recongnize me on sight. I've
been living native style, to keep the
prospect and so on covered. Wait
at the head of Lake Lebarge till the
trails clear after the ~freeze-up. If

explaining this is to turn the Laws

man who has taken human life, the

clenched hand. IF it takes proof

of the words seemed to fill the
room-'it's in his hand. The

afraid of Malone's interest in that

indescribable haunting challenge.
