SYNOPSIS

Kerry Young, lad Of seven, is
prepared to flee the burning lumber
camp Of his benefactor, Jack Snow,
who took the youngster to live with
him at the death of Kerry's mother.
Tod West has instructed Kerry to
come with file containing the camps
funds should it be endangered.
Flames attack the Office, and Kerry,
hugging the precious file, and Tod
race to town. Tod acts queerly. At
the bank the file is found empty and
Kerry is blamed with taking the
wrong one. Snow, his headquarters
and money gone, is ruined, and soon
thereafter dies, leaving Kerry to the
Poor Commissioner. Kerry suspects
Tod and swears to even the score.
In a st. Paul office Kerry, now in
manhood, and an expert woodsman,
learns of the whereabouts of West
Kerry rescues a lovely girl from a
scoundrel, who proves to be west.
Tod threatens to pauperize the girl,
Nan Downer. She thanks Kerry and
tells him of the robbery, and murder
of her father and of Tod's advances.
She is operating a lumber tract which
her father had purchased from West.
Kerry makes camp. At the general
store in Vests Landing, he finds
Tod engaged in poker game.

"count Me Out Hand" He Said.
With queens back-to-back, and now
a third? And two kings showing
in two hands?
''Ten dollars" he said and his
voice was too eager.
"Well, now, James !. I'm just
little bit proud Of what I've got.
i've beaten those dam queens once
or twice tonight. I'll just tilt it
mite this time to try my luck. Let's
bet twenty-five and keep the retail

The man at his left folded; the
second hesitated and again Kerry
caught that little flash Of misgiving
in Vests eye. He wanted them all

breast, jerking open the shirt. But
tons gave, exposing the sweat
stained strap across his chest and
the segment Of shoulder holster.
1t happened quickly: with such
desperate quickness that Young
could not hope for escape by flight.
Before him was the table To
right and left were seated card
players, too amazed and shocked
and fuddled to be aware of what
impended, let alone to be able to
move quickly.
And so he did all that there re-
manned to do.
He rose, with swift, flowing
movement. AS he rose, his hand
dropped into his coat pocket.
"Stop it," he snapped, and his
voice was a rasp and as Vests
baleful eyes caught the lift of that
coat, saw the rigid projection with
in the pocket, he added in half
whisper: "Put 'em up. Quick, or
I'll -
The great hand, clutching at the
pistol grip in that shoulder holster,
hesitated. Young's voice was I'M
perious, his manner commanding.
Sup, now! Smartly, Tod West
High. Higher than that !"
Slowly West obeyed, painting as
he. stood there, swaying just a lit
tie; and then the rest stampeded
for safety. The two stood there,
facing one another across the, ia

Of spittle at the corner Of his

Once more he left a threat un-
finished. For an instant longer
West held his ground and then the
hand in that pocket twitched. He
turned at the ominous gesture and
slowly faced the wall.
Quickly, with light tread, Young
stepped close behind him. A prod

CHAPTER lV-continued

In a new game, a strange game,
q man with wit watches everything.
So Young watched this game. His
eyes never left Tod Vests hand as
the man dealt but despite the fact
that he detected nothing to arouse
suspicion there he passed tens, back
to back, and let Jim Hinkle fight
it out with West. Jim lost again
and, thumbing his bills, muttered
savagely
"Back where l started tonight"
Kerry stayed for the first time.
He won and laughed. He had won
with mines. The nine of spades,
his hole card, had bent corner.
He remarked that.
West began to talk again, max
ing an obvious attempt to resume
his banter which had been soured
by Young's appearance He sue
ceeded badly.
Tod and Hinkle clashed again;
Hinkle won. A few moments later,
he lost most of what he had gained.
West was watching him closely,
Young observed.
Damn Mels cigars!" said West
beneath his breath, tossing his
smoke away and making wry
face. "Rope! Count me out a
hand,' he said. ''Ill run over to
the house and get real smoke"
He rose and went intently out
and Young wondered. Did West so
much dislike confronting him even
across poker table after what had
happened that afternoon that he
had fled? Or was it something else
which moved him to leave?
The game went on, four-handed,
and under relieved tension.
On his return to the table, the
good-natured atmosphere which had
prevailed for those last few hands
: disappeared. Again, it was a gam
bling contest, although Tod's talk
was, outwardly, all that it had been
before he knew that Kerry Young
was in the room. ~. Still, that
feeling of apprehension, OF some
thing afoot, grew stronger In
Young's heart.
1t was Vests deal. He riffled
the cards twice adeptly and cut
them for third time. His fingers
bent them, sent them futtering
against one another, and then two
or three of the pack leaped from
his clasp, slid across the table and
spilled into his lap.
"Need basket!" he growled and,
showing back his chair, STOPPING
over, CROPPED for cards on the floor
He found them, all right! He
found and gathered them in the
hand which held the deck. But
his other hand slid second deck
from beneath his belt and when he
came up the .one pack was thrust
into the little stein shelf beneath
the table top while it was the new
one he thrust toward Jim Hinkle
for the cut. -.
Kerry Young did not knew this
But his heart raped with suspicion

makes no damn difference to
me, what you do. But you were
not. It's my pot. If you want to
post-mortem here, whatever your
name is, just string along and buy
the right"
'I've the right, now!'' Young's
mouth twitched and he was a bit
pale. "My financial interest in this
pot is nothing. But I've an inter.
est in it beside that. I've been
sitting in the game and when ! see
a man stripped of his last dollar
on a crooked deal"
Tod was on his feet, rush of
crimson rage flooding his face, and
his right hand was whipping at his
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1936-06-04

you damned pleased"
Tod chose to turn and face Young
who was halted in mid room, syno-
sure for all eyes. The hand which
had covered West was still in his
side pocket; that sharp, menacing
projection still held firmly against
the cloth. And then the hand came
out, slowly, ostentatiously, drag
ging with it the pocket lining. The
lining of the pocket and a straight
stemmed pipe!
One explosive guffaw preceded
wave of incredulous murmurs. Then
these subsidized as Kerry withdrew
the clip from Vests pistol, elected
the cartridges from the chamber
and spilled the ammunition into his
palm.
He dropped the pipe into his
pocket and held the unloaded gun
toward it's owner. With con-
temptuous gesture he sent the cart
ridges scattering across the floor.
There's your toy, Tod West" he
said as the man, a-churn with cha
grin, amazement and, perhaps, a
species of relief, took it from his
hand. you may gather your am
munition later!"
Voices were murmuring, like the
| distant sound of storm. Someone
| laughed, another swore and third
said:
Damned bluff! And as for Tod's
cheatin' at cards"
| Regulations die hard
| Young swept the room with his
eyes.
"As for his cheating" he said
evenly. 1.-THE money on the table
belongs to those who had invested.
You will find that the nine of
spades, lying there with the money,
is perfect card. The nine of spades
in the deck which was dealt the
last time, has a bent corner. No
one called for new deck; no
change in decks was mentioned. 1t
is my guess that on the stein shelf
before the chair occupied recently
by Mr.. Tod West, good citizen, may
be found"
"You rat!''
At last, West had found voice.
"You rat!" he cried again. "Other
decks? /. Course there are! You
en- find a half dozen on the stein
shelfr
But his buster was not convinc-
ing. He had not regained his self
possession.
perhaps" said Kerry with
shrug. Perhaps, West. You may
be able to alibi yourself neatly, but
you know and I know!"
He went slowly forward few
steps.
know me, West?" he asked.
know me? Never saw me, Ell?
!. Maybe, then, it'll refresh your
memory to recall things.
"After saw you steal from Jim
here; after | saw you cheat poor
man for a few dollars, Tod West
-. after saw your smallness now,
say, then knew that I didn't take
the wrong letter-file the day old
Jack Snow went broke!"
Color drained from Tod's face
but into his eyes came a glitter, a
craft, covering and subduing the
gush of insane temper. He may
have known that this brazen youth
had not convinced all who had
watched Of his duplicity.
Don't you know me?" Kerry
tainted when he did not speak.
Don't you remember me at all? !. /.
I'm Young; Kerry Young =. And
took out the file you told me to
take, that day old Jack had his
death blow!"
West spoke, then, quickly.
"Young?" He shook his head. 81

ready to call or raise.
The second tourist folded and |
Kerry silently showed his cards
away.
"Raisin' fifteen, Tod?" Jim asked |
and this time his voice was husked.
"That's the way l feel. I'll back
at you"
West rubbed his chin and grinned.
:'By gosh," he said, as if in cha
grin. by gosh, Jimmy, you tryin'
to beat me?" An onlooker laughed
II think you're downright tryin' to
take my money and that amt quite
right. Back at you with
twenty!"
His voice snapped on this last
and the watchers crowded closer
to the chair backs.
''Well, seem as you've got so
much confidence and SEEM as how
we've got cards comm CALI"
Three cards were dealt, now,
with two showing; pair of queens,
with lone king against them.
From the top of the deck, lying
SO openly before him, West picked
an ace and Tipped it toward his ad-
yersary. For himself he turned a
nine-spot.
"The queens bet twenty-five
bucks!" Jim's voice was tight.

tv-iye and raise temp said West
mellowly.
Hinkle shifted his weight. He
wet his lips and looked nervously
at Tod's hand. Then, as if decid
ing on caution after a struggle, he
called. His stack of bills was thin,
now: the heap of currency in the
center had attained considerable
size.
"Now for the last heat, Jimmy
To you, M lad, trey, and to me"
-hesitating as he looked at the
card he turned from the deck and
let smile cross his face-''to me-
the king of diamonds r.
So that was it! Kerry thought
to himself. Obviously, Hinkle had
threes. Tod, from a cold deck, had
dealt himself the case king.
West was sitting back in his
chair. smiling coolly. The place
had grown very still. Well over
two hundred dollars had been bet
so far and West was smiling at
the distraught Jim Hinkle as a
man will who is most sure of him
self.
BEAT the kings" West said. ''It
you can and care to-"
Jim cleared his throat.
He counted his money slowly and
said, "I'm betting fifty dollars" and
as he showed in the last Of his
money Young heard the breath
catch in his throat.
| Tod West began to laugh.
Them queens!" he said "Yot
boys have to learn about womer
from me! / beat 'em with aces
once tonight. Now, it's kings. !.
Kings beat queens, Jimmy? Three
You got three Of the gals ?"-ani
Hinkle strained forward as Wes
began turning his hole card.
"Three queens" the man sale
huskily.
"That's just what I figured, alons
at the last. So ] just called, yor
bein' out of cash. My kings
James, catched 'emselves a triplet
too!'
Hinkle slumped back in his chair
weakly. In the depths of his eyes
was acute distress.
"Caught the caser!" Tod Yves
was saying as he reached forward
with both hands for the pot
"Caught the caser and"
"Just minute!" 1t was Kerr.

"Cut lem, James!" the man said.
"And cut 'em deep because I've
got another feeling about this
hand!"
He looked about and grinned,
more affable than he had been
since Kerry entered the game. Hin
kle cut; West beamed and
"slipped'' the cut!
Young saw that clearly. Back to
the top of the deck went the Sec
ton that Hinkle had cut away and
West was dealing, talking, chuck
ling over some joke he had made
but to which Kerry gave no heed.
TO find Tod West playing the role
of ruthless aggressor this after
noon: to find him cheating at cards
tonight !. and after all these
years of suspicion and resentment !!
To the tourist at Tod's left a
king, next four, to Young seven,
to Jim Hinkle a queen and to him
self, a six spot.
1.-THE king" said it's possessor,
'will risk a dollar"
Kerry looked at his down card.
1t was the nine of spades and

The man at his left came in ;
Kerry, thinking quickly, paused and
| caught little flicker of misgiving

The rest, also, saw the raise.

Football notes as the weekend
nesrS the interhigh series ends
tomorrow at the Tech Stadium .. I.
Tech engages Roosevelt at 3:15
p. m.
A victory for Tech will gain the
title outright for Coach Hap
Hardell's charges loss will
create a three-cornered tie for first
place with Central and West
ern, now deadlocked for second
position, the other teams.
The dope points to a Tech vic
tory. not an easy one perhaps,
but victory that'll have its cham
pionship moments :. on the dope,
it's the Trainers turn to make a
good showing.
Thus far this season they've
played good football one day, poor
the next. they started by look
ing terribly off-form against West
ern, though eking out with a Z
too triumph. they followed with
q sensational 6-to-0 win over
Central dropped back again to
get no better than 90 tie with
Eastern . and now tomorrow, the
consensus of thought is 'just what
will it bring?"
VaSvary Good Player
A scrappy little Roosevelt eleven
will battle through every quarter
for an upset. one member in par
ticular will be Eddie Vasvary,
guard, who has played as we'll as
the best Of them in the series.
Vasvary was injured painfully
In the Central game of week or
so ago. but has been doctored
to the extent he'll be in there
again tomorrow. he's that
"never-giveup" type of player so
characteristic of high school foot
ball. it was his hand that was
injured in the Central clash.
Another Roosevelt ace is ex-
pected to "go". he is Roy Frid-
erick, the Ohio high school boy.
Central's powerhouse line proved
too much for FREDERICK to match
last week. but Rider supporters
contend he's too good a footballer
to stop altogether. hence the be-
lief he'll play a little better against
the lighter Tech team.
C. u. Stadium Scene
The Cathoic University Stadium
is the scene of that st. Johns
Gonzaga Private High School
League clash today. the teams
are traditional rivals and always
wage bitter battles for supremacy.
Gonzaga is expected to win to-
days set-to due to its better
record, it's more talented lineup
and its abundance of veteran
material. the Johnnies will not
lack for fight, however. they
have it in capital letters.
One other game this week
should provide fans with more
than the average bit of enter
tainment. it's the Eastern-Devitt
clash tomorrow at Eastern at
3:15. Dewitt will be out to
close its campaign with a vic
tory. also make up for that 49,

Costello SAYS:

(Cont. from First Sports Page)
Against West Virginia, Hardy
intercepted several passes, one of
them being turned into a touch
down when Hardy lateraled to a
teammate after negotiating the
interception.
Maryland has a tricky offense.
With Guckeyson always a threat,
the Terps are dangerous with this
tricky offense, and Georgetown's
defenses will be tested to the limit.
On paper, at least, Georgetown'S
manpower seems bit too strong
