Zeke spoke calmly. sit hangs right

Saladine was a man not easily
daunted; but his hands were shaking
now. He tried fruirlessly 20 light the
lantern. broke two or three matches
in an absurd futility before Zeke
dropped from his perch and said:
Here! Let me-"
And he took the lantern and with
steady hand had 1t lighted instantly.
So they turned to where Bart lay.
The sheriff had Bart's wrists In his
hands. pushing Bart's arms up and
back and down to the ground above
Bart's head; then bending the elbows,
pressing the folded arms hard home on
Bart's chest. He repeated this In
rhythmic persistence.
Zeke said at last, In tones which had
a peculiar terror of their own: II
low you won't do him any good that
way, mister. His neck's broke!" He
added contentedly: "Or If it amt, it
ought to bel"
The sheriff relaxed his efforts. ''It's
all l know to do" he admitted help
lessly. He bent forward, examining
the dead man. 81 guess yo're right"
he said at last, and stood up slowly.
You must be this Zeke Dace they tell
about" he reflected.
That's So" Zeke assented. That's
who l bel"
The sheriff looked down at Bart
there on the ground. you done this
to him. did you?"
"Guess l did," Zeke assented; and
after moment, he explained as though
proud of his grim device:

tiers in the barn here, give him time.
So run a fall through the tackle of
the horse fork, and got enough pur-
chase with it to hist the grindstone
into the upper NOW. l didn't know as
it'd be heavy enough; so fastened
some trace chains and such truck onto
it. Then I balanced it up there on the
edge, SOS it'd tip over easy, with one
end of the fall fast to it, and run
ming moose in t'other end. 1 fetched
the moose end down here and waited;
and when Bart come in, all had to do
was drop the moose over his head and
twitch the grindstone off its perch"
The sheriff tipped back his hat, ran
his fingers across his brow. well, we'd
ought to get Bart in the house." he
decided. "Can't let him lay out here!''
And he said to Saladine: '"Take his
feet, Jim, will you. I'll carry his head"
So they carried Bart into the kitch-
en-, and laid him on the floor. Zeke
closed the door, and he set the lantern

Zeke seemed almost to chuckle In
assent.

81 low / do" said Zeke, without
vehemence; yet there was slow passion
in his tones.
The sheriff considered; and then on
sudden thought he knelt down to
tumble at Bart's belt, feeling 1t with
his fingers. He looked up at Saladine,
nodding.
"His belts dry as bone" he said
hoarsely. "The old woman hit on 1t,
finally! That was one thing he
couldn't lie out of, and that was
enough to nail him!"
He wagged his head. "He had cold
nerve" he said, almost admiringly.
Stood up to her good, didn't he? You
wouldn't ever have thought he was ly-

he see he was done. Likely he aimed
to duck and run, Just now.'
Saladine was curiously pleased that
old Marin Pierce had been able to
prove her case in the end. But-that
was over now, and Zeke was here and
must be dealt with. Saladine turned
to him.

asked.
Before Zeke could speak, the sheriff
warned him gravely: "You don't have
to say word, less'n yo're amind."
Zeke stared at them In an distracted
fashion. i've got no reason to hold
back" he said. He stood with his
shoulders against the door, his hands
behind him, and his eyes fiickered from
one Of them to the other as he spoke.
How come you didn't try to get
away?" the sheriff asked. "Here after
you'd finished him."
Zeke shook his head with Hubby

go, nor nothing to go for!'
"I'm going to have to take you along
to JAIL" the sheriff reminded him; and
Zeke said humbly:
"Why. the way 1t is now, I'd full as
lief be in Jail as anywheres." And
after moment, when they did not
speak. he added: Likely you know
about Hubby and me. 1t was kind OF
desperate. and dreadful for me, right
from the start: like having holt of q

BUSINESS rs GOOD
EVEN IF SPELLING
OF AVIATORS ISN'T

Allan J. Cameron, president Of q
New York skywriting company, finds
business good even If the smoke
spelling of some of his aviator Is bad.
When asked about recent mistakes
in the advertising slogans pouring
from airplanes over New York, Cam
eron recalled some of the bigger bust
ness anxieties he has experienced.
Once Cameron and manufacturing
officials were on rooftop happily
watching the name of the company's
product being written in mile high
letter in the first trade word which
left nothing but a girls name hang
ing over the Empire State building.
The sponsors were about to cancel
the contract when the skywriter
thought fast and drew line through
the word and began all over again.
Cameron got more than 300 telephone
wisecracks suggesting he attach eras-
ers to the airpiane tails.
One of Cameron's worst moments
was during the American Legion pa
rade at the Philadelphia convention.
To advocate Paris for the next years
convention, Cameron asked one of
his men to inscribe Paris Next
Year" over the parade route. The
skywriter, Legionnaire himself.
wrote that, and then on his own
hook, while General Pershing and
other notables watched, added, "Gay
Paree." That was nice, but then
the gay aviator added a couple Of
"hooplas" and was starting to write
something else when the smoke sup
ply gave out. Cameron did not know
whether a verse from "Hinky Dinky
Parlez Vous," or what was coming
next, and was glad he didn't find out.
Another time they planned to write
"Hello Wales" to greet the prince Of
Wales, but the British consulate gen.
eral thought perhaps "Welcome to
his royal highness the prince of
Wales" would be better. When Cam
eron told him it would take six
planes and would stretch out Of
sight, he said at was extraordinary
and to use our own judgment" The
weather man solved the perplexity.

CHAPTER XIII

For a moment after Bart disap-
peared in this fashion so mysterious.
the sheriff's bulky figure was motion
less beside the car; but Saladine
scrambled to the ground, and tripped
on the running board and fell hard on
hands and knees, his fingers digging
deep into the soft and spongy sod, and
there was wet chill of water on his
shins.
He was on his feet, instantly. From
the barn came, diminuendo, that rusty,
creaking sound.
His eyes ached with peering into
the darkness; and he heard the sheriff
breath as he sucked his lungs full,
and heard him gulp and swallow hard.
Something ratified in the barn; COW,
moving in the tie-up, probably. Hot
metal cooling under the hood of the
car cracked loudly, here close beside
them, startlingly. The brook down
by the bridge was singing, and it's low
deep murmur filled their ears.
Yet the night, despite these small
sounds, was so still!
They went forward at last like
wooden soldiers, stiffkneed, on tiptOe,
warily; till as they came close to the
barn, looking up they saw something
dark and bulky swinging little to
and fro above their heads. In the
peak of the roof above them there was
a projecting beam from which the
horse fork was rugged. It was from
that beam that this object was sus-
pended. Blurred and foreshortened, II
was yet unmistakable; and the sheriff
uttered a srammering exclamation, and
he went laundering into the barn,
cropping here and there. He stumbled
over something, and Saladine struck
a match, and the sheriff demanded
hoarsely:
"A knife? Got a knife? Quick!"
AS he spoke, he looked up at Sala-
dine and above him. Saladine, very
stiffly and warily, turned his head TO
look that way.
The barn was framed on heavy TIM
bers, as barns in Maine are apt to
be; and the interior of the big struc-
ture was divided into sections by these
rimbers. Just behind Saladine, there
was a horse stall, boarded in; and the
boards were carried upward to a cross
timber, heavy and firm, which was a
little above the level of the top of the
barn door.
When Saladine looked up over his
shoulder now, following the sheriff's
eyes, he saw a man sitting cross-legged
on this timber, his hands hanging idly
over his shins, his eyes bright as a
cats eyes in the dark. and burning
strangely. His grinning teeth were
white.
It was Zeke Dace, with that big hat,
its brim curled so jauntily, pushed far
back on his head.
Zeke, above them, said in a drawing
tone: Here's knife! Help yourself ~
And something thumped on the barn
floor.
The sheriff found the knife even
in the darkness, and twisted open the
blade, and Saladine heard steel saw on
hemp. Then a pulley whirred, and
something fell heavily on the ground
outside the barn door.
The sheriff was quick that way. He
became busy there, and he said over
lbs shoulder:

Banks Oppose Change

Petition of Frank Pope to Discontinue Present Re-

dered. Morris Kosersky, the peti- tIoner, explained that he is build ing 12 new houses on the street. The board also ordered installation of 300 feet of sanitary sewer in Wa tertown avenue following q public hearing. The sewer will run from Aurora street, south. Unlike other sewers. the lateral will be laid un~ derneath the sidewalk on the east side of the street. This means that assessments will be levied only against tho property on that side of the thoroughfare. If, in the future, property owners on the west side connect with the sewer they will have to pay the usual assess ments.
 Sidewalks Approved
 Although two property owners voiced opposition, the board or- dered Q sidewalk laid on the west side of Murray street. To the wa- ter committee was referred re. quest of the fire department that hydrants on West Grove street and Gilbert street be replaced. Mrs. Alex Charkowsky was informed in response to a question that sewer for Walnut street extension has been recommended to the WPA. Su- perintendcnt of Streets T. J. Flem- ing was instructed to investigate the complaint of residents of Tracy avenue and Pearl Lake road to the effect that 0 drain for storm water in tho section is blocked up. Resi- dents of Bronson street, who con- plained about a brook undermining the walls of their buildings, were told that as the stream is Q natural water course the city can do noth- ing about 1t.
 Hearing Arr nged
 The only remedy, they were told, Is to have the brook officially laid out and enclosed in 6 concrete con- ruit. The assessments against the adjoining parcels of property would be prohibitivc, however, 1t was ex- plained.
 It was voted to ask tho aldermen for permission to hold hearing for 6 sidewalk on the west side of Watertown avenue from Newton terrace to Aurora street. To the water committee went for investi- gation petitions for water mains in sherman avenue and Bucks Hill road. The street committee received for investigation petitions for a sidewalk on Irvington avenue and for a catch basin on Welles street.

 The speakers complimentcd the troop and the committee for the remarkable progress which has been made and explained the purpose and ideals of scouting. The troop was inaugurated as full unit and a new troop is in the process of or- ganization. Considering the large number of scouting age boys in the parish, the committee feels justified in organizing a second troop. Father Lamontagne approves of 1t and Father Laurion recommended 1t to the troop committee at its last cx- ecutive meeting.
 The new scouts demonstrated fundamentals of first aid followed by 6 massed calesthenic drill under the direction of scoutmaster Joseph Monnerat.
