DING one burro and leading another,
Old Dan Corrigan came up the sandy
L = draw which ended at the road ahead.
He let fly with a squirt of tobacco juice at a
scuttling lizard and squinted at the sun.
1t wasn't yet noon and his destination was
only few hundred yards away.
He heard the sound of an automobile,
vehicle in which he had never ridden. 1t
stopped and one of its three occupants got
out. Dan halted his burro and watched while
the man shinnied up telephone pole and,
reaching out with pliers, cut the wires at both
Sides He got back and the car drove on.
1t wasn't any of Dams business. Nearly
sixty years on what was once the frontier had
taught him that man lived longer by asking
few questions and giving rattlesnakes the
right of way. If there was to be any squawk let
the telephone company make it.
Dan kicked the burros fanks and the little
cavalcade turned into the road. Just ahead
were the general store. garage, and four houses
that formed the town of Rincon. 1t was here
that Dan Corrigan came for food, supplies

and such news as was worthy of the hearing.
The automobile stood in front of the COM
bination store and garage. No one was in
sight Dan dropped the end of the rope hack
amores about the muzzles of his burros and
shuff1ed toward the stores narrow porch, an
age-bent man with bowlegs, wearing patched
overalls from which many washings had re-
moved all color. As he entered the store, half
blinded by the comparative darkness, mans
voice said, Look who's here. Get over in the
corner, grandpa"
Dan blinked his eyes. Directly in front of
him was man holding what was obviously
a weapon although the like of it he had never
seen before. In corner stood Sim Bivens, the
store owner, and his clerk. Farther down two
men were piling canned goods on counter
Dan moved over, automatically putting his
hands up He said. Hi. Sim. visitors? What's
that feller got there? Never seen one of them
things before"
Take it easy, Dan" replied Sim. That's
one of them machine guns. You don't read
the papers none.''

Who wants to read story about an
old prospector? We think you do! It's

The man holding the ub-machine gun ap-
peared to be paying no attention to this con-
versation. He was watching the road outside
Dan said, Him, have heard tell of 'em.
Shoot a lot of bullets, don't they?"
Cut man in half" answered the store
keeper. Then, lowering his voice, They're
kidnapers, DAN
Dan said, What? They're WHAT"
''Kidnapers," repeated Sim. Il seen it in
the papers. Said they might be headin this
way. They kidnapped boy over in New
Mexico and made his people pay 'em twenty
thousand dollars. Then they killed the boy"
Dan said, Hell. SIM always knew you
was liar. Grown men don't kill boys"
They did it. That's what the paper said.
Had a picture of one of these fellows in it.
The one with that there gun They just came
in here and threw down on us and began
helpin' themselves. They're fxin' to hole up
somewhere That's my guess"
The man with the gun called over his shoul
der, ''You guys gonna take all day? We gotta
he turned to the three prisoners. you guys
load that stuff in the car, he ordered. And
no funny business" He jerked up the muzzle
of his gun. IN be watchin' you. Then fill
her up with gas. Fill the extra cans, too"
Sim and his clerk moved toward the door,
Dan stayed where he was. ''You, too" came
the order. Dan Strengthened little. Them
burros need water" he said II gotta tend
to that first. And amt liftin' hand to help
no damn - that would kill a boy. So you can
just turn loose with that there cannon if
you've got mind to"
The man with the gun laughed shortly.
Tough, huh?" he said. IF it wasn't for the
noise -" He walked over to Dan, kicked his
kneecap and then, when the latter bent over
with pain, struck him on the nape of the neck
with his clenched fist.
Dan lay where he fell, almost unconscious.
He could stand the pain. A man had to
learn to stand thirst, hunger, wounds to sur
vive what he had survived. His generation
had been rough and crude
But we never killed any children" He
muttered to himself
Slowly he got to his feet. Sim shook his head
in warning and whispered, Don't rile 'em,
Dan. They'll just kill you. Soon as they're
gone we'll call Galesbwg and 49,"
You won't call no place" answered Dan.
They cut the wires. Seen 'em do it when l
was comm in. Tell 'em to 60 to hell!'
Sim shook his head without answering.
Dan leaned against the wall and then walked
to the door. He staggered slightly.
Outside, two of the men were in the car
while the third was slowing extra gasoline
cans on the running board as fast as Sim and
his clerk could fill them at the pump. Dan
stood blinking at his burros, apparently
oblivious to his surroundings and the taunts
from the men in the car. They commented
freely on his attire, his age, his probable an
cestry and his luck in not having had his head
blown off, If the few inhabitants in Rincon
knew what was happening they we're showing
no inclination to do anything about it. Dan
knew why Guns, even pistols. were seldom
owned by townsmen in the modern southwest.

That certainly left it squarely up to him.
Kick him on the knee, would they? And hit
him on the neck! And kill boy, too!
Dan wondered what the boy had looked
like, whether he had cried and pleaded. His
old body sweated as visions passed through
his mind. He had seen men that a skunk
would walk around, not even rattler would
bite But he had never seen men like these.
He heard the car engine start. As it passed
him he saw that two men we're riding in the
front seat and one in the rear. The latter held
the sub-machine gun on his knees.
The car was slow in gathering headway
through the heavy sand. Sim and his clerk
still stood by the gasoline pump. Dan yelled.
Get down behind that pump and stay there"
He didn't look to see whether his order
had been obeyed. He grasped burro's head,
twisted it and slowly threw him. Then he
reached under the protecting packsaddles
and withdrew the rifle he had carried for
years. He threw himself to the ground and
leveled the rifle over the recumbent burro. He
drew breath. held it and sighted
The car was less than hundred yards
away. Dan didn't know whether his action
had been observed. The rifle centered on the
rear glass and the dark blur behind it.
He had been seen. Just as he was about to
press the trigger the blur moved. The muzzle
of the machine gun was thrust backward from
the side of the car. Shots sounded in an un-
broken crescendo. Sand began to dance
several feet to the right of Dan.
Them things can shoot fast but they're
hell for aimin" He pressed his own trigger
The machine gun dropped to the ground.
Dan fired two more shots through the rear
window. The car began to wobble, slowly
turned from the road and came to STOP 1t
stood sideways. Again Dan fired. The man
crouched. The soft -nosed bullet struck square
ly on top of his head. There was one more
bullet left. The body of the man slumped
over the wheel jerked as it struck him.
Dan stood up. The gun was hot. He said,
''Sim, slip in and get me few cartridges just
in case But don't think I'll need 'em. Never
did prettier shootin' in my life"
The storekeeper ventured from behind the
post scurried into the store and returned
with box of cartridges. Dan opened it with
horny thumbnail and reloaded his rifle. No
sound or motion came from the car.
Sim said, That's three more, Dan" He
reached out to run his hngertips over the six
notches in the stock of the gun, old notches
dark with age.
Dan rubbed his own fingers over them He
could recall the history of each six notches
representing six lives that he had taken, each
time tosaveh his own. Hesaid. Yep, that 'sright.
nearly forgot. Lend me your knife, Sim"
The storekeeper handed it to Dan. There's
just room enough for EN-" he said.
Dan laid the knife edge against the stock
of his rifle and then looked at the car with its
burden of dead. Then he snapped the knife
shut and handed it back.

steal boy and kill him for money don't get

BACK AT WORK
AS STRIKE ENDS

NEW YORK, June 3 U.N.S0.
Some 1900 to 1000 seamen were
back at work today following a
nine-hour demonstration" strike
which seriously crippled harbor
shipping.
Officials Of the National Mari
time Union, affiliate of the CIO,
sponsors of the walkout, were to
oameet this afternoon to consider
further action in the unions fight
with AFL affiliated seamen's and
longshoremen's unions.
Yesterdays strike, which started
at 8 a. M, was to have continued
"a hours, but was called off after
nine hours at the request of Frank
J. Taylor, president of the Ameri-
can Steamship Owners ASSocia-
ton, to permit scheduled boats
to sail.
The MINUS quarrel with the
AFL unions was the result of fir
ing of 81 CIO members of the
crew of the freighter Sea Thrush.
The men were discharged when
AFL longshoremen refused to un'
load the .essel until it was
manned by an AFL crew.

sBabies used to be seven or eight months
old before they were given vegetables
and other solid foods ..
But now doctors know that earlier
feeding of these p'oteaivf foods helps
babies to grow up big and strong. Vege-
tables contain minerals and vitamins
for richer blood, 6rmer muscles, better
bone formation.
Bodies are thriving!
Studies show that Libby's Baby Foods
can be safely fed earlier than ordinary
strained foods. Many babies are thriv-
ing on them as early as two or three
months
It's because Libby's Baby Foods are

Different from all Others
1t is this second process that makes
Ibbys different from all other baby
foods. Special homogenization breaks the
food cells in solid food into tiny particles

And coarse 6bers are broken into tiny,

Nothing is lost or removed by Ibbys
