Light Beam Devised to Protect Sleep

In hospitals the device is sug
gested to watch over restless or de-

the patient to get out Of bed instant

For sleep walkers who want to
break their habit or to guard
against hurting themselves, the
alarm may be arranged to ring a
bell if the sleeper arises and thus
to wake him up, to turn on the bed

A safeguard for sleep walkers. ty-

almost invisible light beams instead
Of ropes or strips Of bedcloths, has
been devised by a British manu-
facturer Of photo-electric cells and
similar devices. states a London
correspondent of the Chicago Trib-
une.
One or more light beams Of dim
blue or red light are directed across
the bed from special lamps and re-
Electors like miniature searchlights.
These beams enter one or more
light-sensitive cells. which give an
electric current so long as the light
beam enters them. If anything in
terrupts the light. beam, even for
a small fraction of a second, the
electric signal ceases. This stoppage
may be made to sound an alarm or
to work any other kind of electric
apparatus.
When the sleeper retires this light
beam system is switched on. If then
the sleeper gets out of bed or even
sits up in bed, his body must cut one
or more of the light beams passing
across the bed. This casts a shadow
on the light-sensitive cells, stops for
an instant the electric current from

CHAPTER II

Walt Amos, sheriff Of the Rec
Hills country. was a youngish man
with a direct but mild gray-greer
eye. He led low-headed pony by
a rope to his saddle horn.
I'm right glad you rode over
Horse" he said when the "a mer
had drawn up. You'll be able tc
help Link, here, recall how the Sigr
looked when you first seen it."
Behind him. lounging in their sad
dies, sat three others. These,
Wheeler knew, were Link Bender,
tall, hawk faced, close Tipped;
Links son, a lanlzy. weasel-faced
youth whom Wheeler knew only as
"the Kid; and Cayuse Cayetano,
saffron-faced Indian breed who wore
a circular shield marked Indian
Police" upon a green and black
checked shirt.
These three had nodded in greet
ing, but said nothing; and now
there was a moments awkward
pause. In the silence could be heard
an irregular moaning sound some
where far to the north-the below
ing of cattle working themselves
into a state of mind over some n-
known thing.
II was figuring to ride over to
your place later, anyway, Dunn, T"
the sheriff said. II was especially
kind of hoping you'd recognize this
horse"
''Link Bender" Dunn said slow
ly-''he found him, did he?"
''He found the horse-this horse;
not the man."
Dunn studied the led horse at the
sheriff's flank. so this" Dunn
said, "is the horse a feller got killed
on"
The horse the sheriff led was
runty bay of the wild pony type
which infests the intermountain
ranges from border to border. It
bore no brand; but broad on the
witherS and extending downward on
the off side almost to the knee were
the dust-crusted stains of yester-
days blood.
Dunn leaned low to study the feet
of the led horse. Its the horse
from Short Crick, all right" he said
at last. mo, I never seen him be-
FORE"
The sheriff looked hopefully at
Wheeler, but Billy Wheeler shook
his head.
Nobody knows the damn ami
mall" the sheriff burst out fretfully.
IT'D have thought you fellers would
know every horse in the country by
this time.
"You get around as much as any
body" Dunn grunted. where's the
saddle?"
Link didn't find any saddle"
Dunn glanced at the dark, lean
visaged Link Bender. Dead man
must have taken his saddle with
him across the big divide" he COM
mented sarcastically.
Sheriff Amos looked irritated.
well, come on: We'll look over the
ground"
They turned and rode northward
at a jog. A curious tension had
come over them for no plain reason.
They were nearing Short Creek:
and the believing Of cattle had be-
come near and strong-a fantastic
deep booming broken by whistling
soprano squalls. ''What the devil
them steers raising hell about?"
Amos demanded querulously.
Nobody answered him. They rode
in peculiarly oppressive silence, a
silence somehow unnatural and orni-
nous, even among these naturally
quiet men. Now as they rounded
the shoulder of Two Bull Butte they
sighted the disturbed cattle at the
quarter mile, a dark milling knot,
restless with tossing horns.
Link Bender raised his clenched
hands to the sky and swore abrupt
ly, savagely. There goes your
sign! There goes your evidence, and
your trails!"
Billy Wheeler's scalp crawled;
men might misread the sign, but
the cattle knew. One Of the strang-

Wheeler heard Horse Dunn cursl
between his teeth. The Old MAJ
jumped his pony forward, whipping
up side and side, and charged down
upon the milling cattle. The Others
Joined him, whooping and whipping
up their ponies.
The steer bunch broke reluctant

Wheeler had been less interested
in the running off of the cattle thar
in the reactions Of the riders. AL
sign would have been obliterated;
he was anxious now to see who
would be exasperated and who in
different. Watching, he noted the
conspicuous fury of Link Bender.
the red-eyed anger of Horse Dunn
and the watchful detachment Of
Cayuse, the Indian.
The riders were gathering again,
disgruntled as they focused upon
the stretch Of creek the cattle had
trampled.
Horse Dunn circled a little and
brought them to Short Creek again
200 yards upstream.
Here you see my trail as I come
up to the crick," he said; "it's the
trail of the same horse I'm riding
today Here you see the trail
of the two horses of the killer and
the feller that was killed, riding
side by side along the rim Of the
cut. Right here my trail comes on
to theirs. You, Amos-notice that
my trail is 20 hours younger'n the
other two"
I'm not so sure" Link Bender
said.
The sheriff hesitated, studying the
tracks glunnly from the saddle. He
turned to the Indian. ''What do you
say, Cayuse?"
Cayuse Cayetano spoke briefly
and promptly in Spanish. "Th1s
horse of Dunn'st came yesterday"
he said. THE other two horses,
maybe one day before. Not the
same time"
'That Indians a deer hunter" "
Sheriff Amos said. ''When Cayuse
says he knows, he knows. Wen let
it stand at that"
