Jake sent me. He seen two
men back up in the hills, beyond
Cool crick. He says one was Sar-
Doe. The other was the teller that
shot you-that you said you shot
down. Jake says"
Never mind!' said Tom Have
ril shortly. "I'll come out and talk
with you. Back off and wait" To
Lucy he said, looking puzzled:
I'D better find out what this is
all about. Those two, if they're
alive and are ganging up"
She felt strangely excited. Sar-
Doe alive! And that other man
Barry Haveril!
She saw the Judge come home,
riding hard; she caught glimpse
of his face and so did not call
out to him, he looked so wor-
ried, so ready to fly into anger.
A rider came up through the
pines. He went to the house,
knocked, was invited in by the
Judge, speaking brusquely. The
two were in the Judges study for
ten or fifteen minutes.
The door opened and she saw
the stranger and the Judge to-
gether. The Judge clapped the
other man on the shoulder. He
said jovially, Fine, Joe I knew
I could count on you. So long,
and ride happy"
Joe went down the steps and
along the path toward his white
horse down by the barn.
Then she heard the shot. And
she saw the ugly spit of fire
from the Judges hand. The
stranger, Joe did half spin and
crumpled in the path.
If ever there was cold blooded
murder, she knew that this was.
She all but tainted, covering
in her hammock. She heard two
more shots fired; they didn't
sound like the first, were from
, another gun. Still she lay power
less to stir. Finally she hurried to
her room and threw herself face
down on her bed; she wished that
she were dead.
When after a while Tom Have
ril came riding back she heard
him, but she did not get up. She
heard the Judge, as hearty as
ever, greet him at the door.
Come in, Tom; come ahead in.
We're a bit upset here. A drunk
fool, Joe Hosmer it was, came out
making trouble. Shot at me twice;
nearly got me. I had to blaze back
at him."
Tom Haveril's answer escaped
her. She wasn't sure that he
laughed. The two men were walk
ing toward the Judges study; she
heard the door slam.
$50 you thought you better kill
him, huh, Judge?" said Tom Ha-
veril.
"Self-defense," said the Judge,

Barry saw a face manly lit up by
the pale lamplight. It was the
dead face of dead Sarboe.
Barry was standing with his

flat steel box in the other, when
he heard the door open. That
everyday sound brought him back
in a flash to an everyday world

When Lucy heard Tom Haveril
calling to her softly from the liv-
ing room she went to him.
When she came slowly into the
room he changed first OF ell upon
the few simple words which at
the time could most of all avail
him. He said quite simply:
Lucy, I love you SOP

softly, wonderingly.
"You know l do, Lucy. And ]

The Judge came in and said
"Ha! Whats going on here?" And
then he laughed genially.
"He-he wants me to marry
him-right away" gasped Lucy
IT thought I saw it coming,
said the Judge. He came to her
to put his fatherly arms about
her; she shrank back and ran
headlong to her room. But she
laughed back at them when they
knocked at her door and after
while she said, without opening
the door: eyes, Tom. I'll marry
you tonight-if you will take me
right straight to your place"
''I'm off for the preacher!"
ed Tom Haveril joyously. Then
she heard him and the Judge
walk away together.
And Barry Haveril miles away
in a secret and hidden glen in the
mountains, was thinking Of Lucy
and of the Judge and of Tom
Haveril as he saddled.
He called and Sarboe came
shuffling from the place.

boe," said Barry. GIVE got to see

He was thinking of Lucy Blue.

his daughter, Lucy. Judge Blue
tells him that a gun Jesse gave
him is the gun of a murderer
known as the Laredo Kid. The
Judge invites Barry up to visit
him and there Barry meets Jesse.
He accuses Jesse Of killing his
brother and of being the Laredo
Kid. Judge Blue comes up from
behind, knocks Barry uncon-
scious. Barry escapes, however,
and meets an old man named
Timberline, who also is cunning
for the Laredo Kid. Barry finally
goes to Red Rock where, going
through a valley, he sees three
men attempting to capture a
beautiful girl. Barry rescues her
and finds she is Lucy Blue. At
the house he meets a man called
Tom Haveril whom he accuses of
being his cousin Jesse. In bar
room Tom Haveril accuses Barry
of being the Laredo Kid. Barry
tells the strangers there that his
sister, Lucy, who works at a
lunch counter in town, can iden-
tify him. They search for her but
she is missing. Barry, and a new
friend of his, Ken March, 60

So it was to the bunk that had
been nailed in place that he re-
turned. He tried to pull up the
floor boards. They were down So

He regarded the portion of wall
that had been behind the bunk;
he noted how a short section of
log had been slipped in. He be-
gan working at that section.
When it came free in his hand he
found a followed space in the
wall; his cropping fingers came in
contact with small box of some
sort; it was of iron or steel, a
slight flat thing man could have
showed into his pocket.
Barry opened it. There were pa
pers or something of the sort,
wrapped in a newspaper. The
newspaper looked old; he noted
that it was the Laredo Blade, da-
ted twelve years ago.

OF SELLING ISLAND

QUITO, Ecuador - Government
officials today denied Ecuador
would sell the Galapagos or any

The proposals have been based
on the idea of using such islands
for defensive bases in event of an
emergency and Of keeping them

power.

CANBERRA-Plans have been
adopted for creating the speediest
mechanical army in the world.
This will be attained by fitting all
artillery trailers and carriages Of
other guns with pneumatic wheels.
Although the cost will be great,
it will give Australia's mechanical
army the strategic advantage Of a
speed three times greater than it
possesses to date. This degree Of
mobility in moving guns will en-
nance greatly the national defense.

she was captured when little girl

family: how she and her friend
were won by Charbonnesu In q

Some historians give the French
