unconscious, bleeding, but not quite
dead. They carried him into the
bunk where Spared watched over
him until he died in the early morn
ing.
Spared laid him out with the
soiled blanket covering his face.
Tired and worried, Spared tramped
toward Wolfpen through the last OF
the dark, thinking it over and over.
II felt it in my bones, somehow, the
way you know something you don't
want to know, hope you won't have
to know. Then, bang, and it's all
done. No warning. Sheriff Hat
ler'll have to come now, and a grand
jury and all. Sheriff Halter never
rode down this creek before in his
life only as neighbor. Now he
has to come on a murder. Right on
the Pattern land it was. Only l
reckon it's not Pattern land but
Shellenberger land. Never any dis
grace on it before. I'd like to have
seen it stay that way. There was
just no reason in it happening. Bad

that it was more than that. It in

it was sick or giving up. Not just

Sandy Valley. Swamped with too
many floating people I.reckon, com
ing up the river and loafing around
the new mine towns and lumber
camps, not interested in the good
of the land, making corn liquor and
gambling, and things like this.
'Never been so busy in all his
life, Sheriff Halter told me at Pike,
such sight of lawbreaking going
on in the country here lately. Trou-
Bile right there in Pikeville, too,

And / reckon I am, because I'll be

in the clear light now before it goes
further. Better just tell Sheriff Hat
Ter, and the grand jury all about it
and clean it all away. This is where
we have to live. We must keep this

talking in low tones to Spared aft
er dinner, standing on the porch In
the cold.
you're right, Spared. Well clean
it all up right now" he said.
II think we ought to-" Spared said.
"We'll have Ike Dallow in Pike
Vile tomorrow. They picked him
up down at Beaver. You tell what
you know about the liquor, too,
Spared, and we'll get this cleaned
up"
I'm sorry you had to come here
on this business, but there wasn't
any way of getting out Of it,
Don't worry about it, Spared.
Well just get it cleaned up now.
Hows Doug Mason getting?''
Hes up and around now, Hat
Ter, and he's learning to do things
again. He says he'll do the farm
work in the spring"
1T wuz a darn shame, Spared.
Didn't your girl have an eye for
him?"
Il don't reckon so only just as
neighbour
"Well, she's too fine girl for
any cripple"
Cynthia could not listen any more.
She ran to the kitchen and began to
scour the pots she had used to cook
the dinner. Il couldn't ever have
married you, Doug, not even If it
hadn't happened. Why did you
want me to, and why did you go
and do that, and why don't you
take Judy Wooton who always has
wanted you, and why does Halter
talk about it? Things would drive
body plumb crazy if you didn't
think about something else. Oh,
Reuben, wherever you are In the
woods, the place is different from
when you liked it SO much. It's
been so long. April is so far away.
Will you forget how you said, 1

On a gray winter morning Gym

smiled to her about his worry, and

straight-shouldered and handsome,
to wave to her.

takes it so to heart. I'll try to
make an apple pie for him and

did when he gets back tonight from
his hard trip"
She was busy all day, weaving
at the loom, cleaning the house,
making the pies, cooking dinner for
Jasper, tending to the milk, getting
supper for Jasper, Abral and the
return of Spared. Then the futter
of the hens in the pear tree, the
nervousness in the stalls and the
barnyard among the mules, the
sheep and the cows; and the dark
slid into Wolfpen. Abral came in
from Dry Creek, hungry after his
day in the open.
Jasper sat quietly by the log fire
looking into the flames, waiting.

those days existed no longer except
in her memory, and would return
no more to Wolfpen. It was idle to
think of it being otherwise, and yet
the thought of placing Jesse in the
vault along with all the other treas
ured things that had died in that
year was full Of grief. And the
days after he was gone were less
happy than before.
Shellenberger and Dry Creek
seemed to have conquered and pos
sessed Wolfpen. Shellenberger re-
turned from his journey down the
river. He was still talking about the
progress of business-minded men
who were developing the country
for profit. For themselves.
Everything was going to come along
big very soon now, just at the mo-
ment things were little tight be-
cause it required a steady outlay of
capital to get an operation going
and long time to get returns on it.
Vision, cooperation, enterprise were
the necessary qualities. A few days
later he came up from Dry Greek to
the mill where Spared was grinding.
II was wondering whether you
couldn't help me out. for few
weeks" Shellenberger said in his
pleasantest manner.
''What could I do to help you out,
Mr.. Shellenberger?"
''Those fellows are grumbling for
their pay again, and the Gods truth
of it is, Mr.. Pattern, that I'm just a
little short of cash right at this
minute. I was wondering if /
couldn't borrow a.thousand dollars
from you for a short time. I'll give
you my personal note for it, and
at the end of the month when I go
down TIL have Judge Wade Of the

just for ninety days and you'll do
me a great favor and help my work
along"
Spared thought it over; the end
of May, a thousand dollars, fifteen
dollars interest, enough cash for
Jasper, a real favor to Shellenber-
ger.
II guess I could spare that to
help you out" he said. "And l don't
see any cause to bother Judge Wade
with it,

NAVY IS GREATER INSURANCE FOR
 PEACE THAN FOR WAR

One of the odd things about a navy is the fact that the less it is actually used the valuable it is to it's possessor.
 This fact is worth the attention of nation which like the United States, spending hundreds of millions of dollars every year to put its fleet in shape. It was touched upon briefly in recent address in Washington by Admiral William H. Standley chief of naval opera tlons.
 If through the existence of the navy" remarked the admiral we spared the ordeal of war; and for generations the navy never fires gun in anger or IS engaged in batte-I say to you that no matter what it costs us it is cheap at the price Any amount of fire insurance premium is cheaper than fire"
 And it must be said that even if one does not go all the way with Admiral Standey in his conception of navy warpreventve, there still is great deal in what he says.
 navys chief value is as threat rather than an actual weapon. If the other fellow knows you have one and knows that 1t take of any fuss that may develop in it's waters, he is not apt to come around and pick quarrel
 And because of the unacceptable geographical fact that any nation which plans to invade oppress or other wise bedeVil the United States has to by water the American navy does in fact represent the kind of fire insurance that Admiral Standley mentions.
 For our navy does not merely insure us against invasion it makes it as certain anything be tain in this chancy world that invasion of shores will be attempted.
 That is why those great gray ships of our so ex- pensive, cleverly devised for grim combat, serve their purpose best of all when there is no enemy on the horizon.
 Now it is perfectly possible, of course, for to misuse the power that they represent We could get ourselves in a in Asia in Europe send fleet far afed and for purpose not strictly connect ed with defense of our own shores.
 But we needn't if we playour cards carefully. We will, if once learn the lesson that navy is built for peace rather than for
 The longer our navy exists in the piping times of peace, the better is it proving that it is worth what 1t costs.

HANGING IN PUBLIC

 Those who have forgotten all their history a few vivid impressions probably remember only one scene from the French Revolution-the execution of carloads of men and women at the guillotine before vast cheering crowd. That was not the most import ant phase of the French Revolution but it is the feat ure which has been etched the memories of men. The guillone symboizes for most of the savagery Of that reVolution in contrast to it's great significance in the long story of human progress
 Public hangings have similar place in American life. Why 1t ever thought desirable to take the lives of offenders against the law in view of the public is difficult to imagine. But court trials sub stltute tor theatre in frontier civilizations. And pub lie hangings, presumably infrequent but heady substitute for the gentler entertainments lacking in the primitive societies of a century and more ago.
 In any event, there is no reason in tradition or logic why the worst instincts of should be delib- erately fostered by public policy of hanging in public. The revong spectacle at Owensboro was the hanging of Raney Bethea. It was the crowd which found in hanging grand entertainment It was the hanging parties" which proceeded with liquor and song throughout the night preceding the execution.
 If John Montjoy is finally determined to be guilty and hanged at Covington it is to be hoped that the event will not be another carnival of brutality.

The excellent work of Jim Ripple in the Giants drive to a pennant
 has been pretty generally over looked because he happens to be working alongside of Mel Ott, on whom the spotlight has been fo- cused because of an ability to pull
 irives into the rightfield stands for homers. Jim finds his efforts compared to those of Ott on all sides. That is hardly fair. For while Mel has been cavorting in the major league limelight ever since he was a mere boy of 16
 Ripple has been Hidden away in the minors. He was a fixture in the Montreal outfield until this spring, at 26, he came up to the majors.
 Ripple invaded the Giants camp with quite a reputation in the minors as ball-hawk, slugger and speed merchant. He had little chance to prove his ability early in the season, because Manager Bill Terry kept on hoping that Hank Leaber would return to his 1885 form, when he hit .331. All spring Ripple was handicapped by a charley horse. He was used in only a few contests as pinch hitter before Terry noticed his ability to coax passes from the opposing pitchers. He did very well in the pinch hit ter's role and earned the right to

lis old friend Jim McGraw, and the following spring, Ott reported to the Giants. McGraw immed- lately switched the youngster to the outfield. By studying the late Ross Young in action, Ott managed tc improve rapidly in the spot which was new to him.
 In the fall of 1926 Mel got his chance to play against the St. Louis Cardinals. Irish Meusel was not going very well so McGraw sent the 17-year-old boy into left field to replace him. Ott still recalls that he was frightened to death when his big chance came along, but the indication is that he soon got over bis nervousness-for he hit .387 in 35 games that season.
 Mel has been a fixture in the Giant outfield ever since. His life time average up to the beginning of the current season was .317 and over the 10-year stretch he pound ed out PAP home runs to top all ether National League sluggers.
 Ott is a quiet young fellow, al- most as much so as his closest friend and roommate, Carl Hub bell. Unlike most ball players, Ott does not care for hunting He plays a bit of golf in the off-sea- son, but his real hobby is collect ing old coins.

LOveIOCk to Run His Last MiIe'
 Here October 5

LONDON, Sept. 30.-Curly head ed Jack Lovelock, Britain's great miller, plans one more crack at his American rivals before hanging up his spikes for good.
 He will return to the Princeton stadium, scene of his triumph in the 1885 mile of the century race against the cream of the worlds runners, on October 3.
 It will be the last race of his ca reer, he said in an interview here, and his last shot at the world rec ord for the mile established by Glenn Cunningham, in 4 minutes 6 4-5 seconds, at Princeton, June 16, 1884.
 Lovelock's old world mark. 4 min utes T 3-5 seconds, w9s made at Princeton, June 16, 1883. Now at the height of his form, soon after capturing the 1500-meter at the Olympic Games in Berlin, where he set new world record of minutes AT 415 seconds in that i event. Lovelock is ready to set a hot pace against Cunningham, San Romani, Don Lash, Phil Edwards and others who will toe the mark against him at Princeton. After his appearance in the Unit 1 ed States, Lovelock will retire from racing and devote all his time to studying medicine at St. Mary's Hos pital, London.

matter of pounding out 4baggers, and they are anxious to see what the National Leagues home-run king looks like in action.
 For all his 10 years of big league service, Ott still looks like a boy. He never had any experience in the minor leagues before he got his chance in the majors at the ripe old age of 16.
 A dozen years ago, Ott was the catcher on the Gretna, La high school nine. He used to go out and catch in batting practice at the New Orleans Southern League park. Manager Larry Gilbert want ed no part of the 15-year-old kid so Ott went to Patterson to catch for team owned by the late Harry Williams, husband of Marguerite Clark of silent movie fame.
