STOCK MARKET
RESUMES GAINS
ON WIDE FRONT
ChrysIer, Steel, Aviation
Shares Are Prominent
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. Is GN.S0.
The stock market today resumed
the advance on a wide front, with
gains of from one to more than
three points.
Wall Street sentiment was i'm.
proved, as the market gave indi-
cations of having broken out of
the consolidation period through
the past few sessions. Trading was
fairly active for a Saturday, as
leaders moved up easily after
initial hesitancy.
CHRYSLER LEADS
Chrysler was the individual
star. 1t opened IL points higher
on a block of 1900 shares at 6012,
slipped back to so, then Spurted
to above 81. This was a net gain
of better than three points on
the day. General Motors added a
point to last nights closing level.
U. S. Steel jumped more than
two points, while Republic, YoungS-
town and Bethlehem each ad-
Vanced better than a point in the
steels. Gains of a point or so were
shown in the coppers by American
Smelling, Kennecott and Ana
conda.
DOUGLAS CLIMBS
Douglas rose about two points
in the aviations, while United
Aircraft, Boeing and Sperry
moved up a point or more. The
latter was particularly active.
JohnS-Manville, Coca-Cola, East
man, Westinghouse Electric and
Dupont were strong blue-chipS,
with gains or two or more points.

over the fire water he took from the mans
canteen. Squatting there beside the flames,
TontO Bates shaved.
1t took him half-an-hour of patient effort,
but in the end he rose - clean-shaven, long
jawed - figure hardly anyone would have
recognized as that of the man who had shot
down an official only few hours before
Tonto couldn't help laughing as he saddled
the pebad geldng under the trees.
This sure is what you might call fresh
start New clothes New horse. No beard
And seven hundred dollars!'
At about two o'clock. in the morning he
decided to sleep. He'd put good many miles
between himself and Cinder Center. Even if
he were found it was doubtful if anybody
could identify him. Certainly no one could
swear that he was the bearded man who had
recently committed a murder.
So Tonto staked his horse in grass and lay
down under tree He was unusually tired,
so he heard nothing during the night Not
sound - until at dawn, booted toe reused
him by poking into his ribs.
He sat up, blinking Intuitively his hand
reached to his hip. But harsh voice snapped.
None O that hombre We got you covered
Tonto gaped around in bewilderment.
More than twenty grim mounted men sur
rounded him - men with guns in their hands.
They were garing at him with eyes full OF
rage.
Scrambling to his feet. he demanded.
What in thunder is all this"
Shut up.'' ordered black bearded man.
He glared deep into Tonto's eyes "Nobodys
askin' you to talk You're under arrest"
Arrest" gasped Tonto. What - what
for? You hombres are maxim a mistake,'
I'VE amt maxim no mistake Plenty of us
saw you last night
Somebody jerked the six gun out of Tontos
holster With cry of protest he swung
around What the idea" His voice sounded
shrill shaken Il was campin' out here last
night. You hombres never saw -
Listen killer" The black bearded man
spoke in low, harsh voice. When Jed
Harper the cashier O the bank over in Long
horn City, was shot dead and robbed last
night, you may have figured you got away
scot free But it happened that quite few OF
us were playin poker in the house across the
street The shot made us look out the window.
We had good view O you. None OF us is mis-
takn' that brand new checkered shirt and
those brown Corduroys. An we couldn't be
mistaken about that piebald geldlng O yours,
either We saw you as you galloped out o
town saw you plain as day, An I'll bet we
find Jed Harper's seven hundred dollars on
YOU as a clinCher'
Yes. the queer thing about Tonto Bates
was that the Law never got around to punish
inc him for the murders he committed When
he was hanged, it was for something he hadn't
done at all
When at lost he could see
clearly oeoin, he discovered
that the man lay on his back

of gunny sacks appeared laden with food.
Tonto knew he would soon need those vic
tuals. Evidently his luck was continuing. He
started toward the horse under the trees.
Halfway to the gelding a new thought
halted him. He turned and gazed at the dead
man.
About my own SIZE" he unused. AN
that s mighty neat shirt on him. And those
brown pants -" What Tonto Bates was
thinking was that complete and new descrlp-
ton of him would soon be circulated again.
There would be a clear account of the things
he had worn when he'd shot the man with
the sheriff's badge.
So. with little chuckle, Tonto went back
to the dead figure. 1t took him only couple
of minutes to undress the man. Presently he
stood in new attire - fine CheCkered shirt
and brown corduroys that fitted remarkably

the dead stranger and dragged the body into
concealment behind rocks, where he covered
it with brush.
1t was then that he remembered his beard.

In amazement that pounded in his heart,
Tonto counted the bills. Seven hundred

He stuffed the money back into its little
sack, and quick grin came to his face. In

HE Law never got around to Furnishing
'Tonto" Bates for the murders he COM
u mitted. He was too lucky. Every sheriff,
every deputy west of the Mississippi would
gladly have fired at the sight of him; yet,
curiously, he continued to live and to kill.
Tonto was twenty three when he grew the
black beard. He had to grow it. There were
too many pictures and descriptions of him
scattered throughout the west A month ago
he had shot down two prospectors carrying
gold out of the hills. One of them had lived
long enough to be found by cowpunchers, and
had described the killer. Hearing that, Tonto
decided to change his appearance.
So he was bearded man when he rode his
pinto too close to Cinder Center one summer
afternoon Unexpectedly, on rounding the
base of bluff, he faced two men - and one
of them wore the badge of sheriff
Tonto's heart missed couple of beats.
His hand leapt to his holster.
His gesture made that official and his COM
panion snatch at their own weapons
None O. that" the Sheriff rasped. Put
up your hands, hombre!!'
Tonto Bates knew that if he tarried there,
palavering, those men might discover too
much about him. So he drew his gun and
fired from the hip.
The slug cracked into the sheriff throat.
Tonto blazed at the other man. too. But
this one, flinging himself out of his saddle, had
time to lunge behind rocks.
Tonic didn't wait to prolong the Tight. He
whirled his horse around and galloped off -
with bullets following him. But his good luck
held Not slug hit him.
''Doggone it, he told himself as he pounded
along the trail, hunched over his saddlehorn.
That other polecatl get back to town and
have a posse after me inside half-an-hour!
got to travel fast!'
He plunged into the foothills with one
desire - to put as many miles as possible
between himself and Cinder Center. But just
before sundown his pinto stepped into hole
and broke leg - and sent Tonto flying
fifteen feet before he landed. sprawllng, IN
brush.
When he regained his breath and his wits
ana staggered back to his feet, he saw that
the pinto was finished. He put his gun to the
horses head and squeezed the trigger.
Tonto had to stagger on afoot, his saddle
slunp over his shoulder. That scared him;
gave him sensation of being lost and help
less. If there was posse anywhere behind
him. they we're making ten miles to his one;
it wouldn't be long before they d overtake him.
Whenever he reached high ground he
stopped, shaded his eyes, and searched the
country for some glimpse of dust that would
indicate posse But ne could discern no sign
of pursuing men, Still, as he trudged on, he
kept telling himself: Il got to get horse
And that night, just an hour after darkness,
his usual amazing luck seemed to return.
For Tonto, reaching the rim of canyon,
saw something that brought joy to his heart.
