CHAPTER l
Frank H. Spearman

Sleepy Cat-that sunswept little
desert town bordering on the Very
Bad Lands of the arid Southwest
was dusty.
Dust was not unusual in Sleepy
Cat; to be dusty was it's normal
condition; when not dusty, Sleepy
Cat was dead. :
But you needn't be scared Of this
kind of DUST" explained Doctor
Carpy, who, sitting with his feet up
against the porch handrail of his
Sleepy Cat hotel, was talking to
Jane Van Tambel. "Its not dirt,
this dust-not like your Chicago
dust. It's clean volcanic ash that
drifts up from the Spanish Sinks.
"But toward shutdown when the
ash settles over the Superstition
Range and the sun shines through
1t, the air shows every color of the
rainbow. That snow on Music noun
tain"-Dr. Carpy pointed-"looks
pink and red and purple. You'll
like it out here"
Jane disagreed vigorously. ooh,
no! It's going to be awfully lone
some after city life," she declared
positively.
you'll never be lonesome in
Sleepy Cat-unless you're good"
observed the doctor cynically. Goth
erwise you'll find things generally
hum in Sleepy Cat"
1T certainly is lively today" con-
coded the dissatisfied city girl.
1t was. Horsemen, not a few of
them cowmen, clattered up and
down Front street and River street,
chiefly to hear their own noise. And
mob Of miners and prospectors
from Thief River had come up for
the celebration and the horse races.
"Been out on the Fairgrounds
yet?" asked the doctor, continuing
his chat with Jane. "Seen any of
the races?' h
II saw the Indian races this morn
ing-such yipping and yelling! And
those Texans that rode into town
yesterday-they yelled louder than
the Indians"
'"That outfit has just delivered
four thousand head of cattle to the
Gunlock Agency. They checked
them in yesterday. Some old-time
Sleepy Caters in that bunch--Hen-
ry SAVOY and John Lefeyer made
the drive with the outfit-all the
way up from the Rio Grande. Hell
To-" exclaimed the doctor lazily,
"here comes SAVOY now"
A rather tall man, well rounded
out, somewhat bow-legged, strongly
built and confident, if not aggres-
sive, in manner, was coming up the
wooden steps leading from the side
walk to the hotel Office. Carpy
hailed him. Sawdy poised under an
overwhelming sombrero, turned and
walked toward the doctor and his
guest.
"Henryp' exclaimed the doctor.
"You blamed old longhorn, I never
looked to see you back in Sleepy
Cat"
Amt no warrants out agin me,
are there?" asked SAVOY in calm,
blunt, but spirited fashion.
"There must be one or more agin
you down along the Rio Grande,
Henry" retorted the doctor, cor

bel newcomer since you went
south. Mr.. Sawdy, Miss Jane.'
Hat in hand, SAVOY stared: "Miss
Van Tambel?" he echoed. "Did
get the name right?" he asked as
Jane nodded to his greeting.
"You got it right" remarked Car
py dryly.
WELL" returned SAVOY, swallow
ing, eff you could get a few more

The 30-year- Spanish prince,
who was divorced here May 8 by
the former Edelmira Sampedro of
Havana, was reported sleeping at

condition was not satisfactory and
his physicians feared repetition OF

GAS CHAMBER
TO KILL DOGS

Continued employment Of dog

gas chamber at the dog pound, and
rigid enforcement of ordinances
governing the keeping of dogs with

DR.. Warren +. Fox city and county
health officer in a letter to the
Fl Centre city council.
He recommended these measures
as a means Of stamping out rabies.
the disease which caused 90-day
quarantine of dogs,
As an alternative program, Dr.
Fox suggested; compulsory vaccl-
nation. all ordinance requiring that
dogs be confined to the premises
Or permitted in public places only
when on leash.
Compulsory vaccination or COM
pulsory muzzling Of all dogs running
at large undoubtedly would eradi-
cate rabies within the city limits,
the letter set forth. Compulsory
vaccination however. does not pre-
vent the dogs from biting persons
and it is known it is not 100 per
cent effective. The vaccinated dog
has a greater cnance to avoid get
ting rabies than the unvaccinated
animal, according to DR.. Rox.
He also recommended that peace
officers trace unlicensed and un-
vaccinated dogs to their homes and
if tags are missing and the animal
has not been licensed or vaccinated,
complaint could be drawn up
against the owner. Such drastic
action and filming Of some of the
careless dog owners probably would
result in greater cooperation.
A summary of the quarantine
period which ended May II, was
included in the letter to the council.

despite their recent successes in
Spain. However, Russia has the
benefit of capable foreign designers,
engineers, foremen, metallurgists
and mechanics, and has shown
marked initiative ability. She is
willing to spend money and her la
Dor is cheap. She builds foreign
airplane engines under license. And
of recent months her airplane pro-
duction has speeded to the point
where it is the greatest in Europe.
Despite the fact that 5000 civilian
pilots were trained last year, that
gliding and parachute jumping are
now popular sports, and that Rus
slams are the most air-minded people
on earth, the program is just get
ting under way. The Reds expect
to have 10000 pilots, a produc-
ton of 10000 planes year and a
fleet of giant ships. Russia's chief
weakness is that she depends too
much upon foreign assistance, hav-
ing few skilled mechanical people
of her own and as yet having failed
to produce a good engine.
Italy's Air Force Is Flashy.
Russia's soldiers, children and
civilians are being trained in de-
tense against aerial and chemical
warfare with school and factory
drills. Her anti-aircraft guns are
not so numerous or well-developed
as those of her neighbors, but
great flying distances and snow-cov-
cred mountains are a real protec-
ton against invading planes.
Italy has some 1850 frst-line
planes in operating squadrons, with
another 1850 in reserve. Her aerial
exploits, such as General Balbo's
armada and the more recent per-
formances in Ethiopia, have gained
