That's right" said Langdon.
The big man hesitated a moment
longer, then stepped aside. Come
on inside"
The room was small, sparsely fur
nished. There was a table, four
chairs, cupboard well Allied with
provisions, a sink and water spigot
in a corner.
The burly man was eying him
closely again. One hand was resting
lightly on the worn walnut handle
Of the six shooter that swung at his
hip. Langdon began to feel uneasy,
but his face was inscrutable.

"Wait here" The big man crossed
to a door against the farther wall,
taking care not to turn his back. He
opened the door and slid through 1t.
Langdon waited. conscious that his
pulse had quickened. The feeling
Of the gun beneath his left arm-pit
was reassuring.
Suddenly the door opened again
and the burly man appeared. Come
in here" he said.
Langdon moved to the door, passed
the burly man without looking at
him, entered the room beyond.
There were two hunks here against
the wall. In one Of them lay the
figure Of a man. He, too, was beard
ed, and his head was swathed in a
bloody cloth.
Langdon moved toward the bunk
with measured steps. Now his pulse
had returned to normal. His nerves
felt steady, his mind clear and alert.
In minute it was going to happen.
This man who lay on the bed was
Nick McElroy, killer and desperate.
He had succeeded in evading the law
for two years. He had kept clear of
Stark Langdon, and rumors had
gotten around that Sheriff Stark
Langdon had been just as we'll
pleased. Nick McElroy was chained
lightning on the draw. Rumor was
limiting that Langdon dreaded meet
ing him.
So, to maintain his self respect,
Langdon had tracked the killer
down. It had taken him six months,
had required skill and shrewdness,
and all the time there had beat in
his brain the thought that these
rumors were not idle. Always up
permost in his mind was the pos
sibility that Nick McElroy was faster
with gun, would kill him.
But there was no turning back, no

Langdon whirled. Briefly there
flashed across his mind . picture
of the burly man crouching, reach
ing for his gun. .........
Then Langdon's own weapon was
out, exploding the moment 1t came
clear Of his lapel. His hrst shot
splintered into the wood behind the
burly mans hand. He heard the
whistle of q bullet ~ it grazed his
ear.
Then he shot again, . third time.
He saw the burly man begin to
pitch forward. And 1t the same time
he knew the man on the bed had
gotten his gun clear and was aiming.
Langdon whipped around and
snapped his trigger twice. There
was a crash of metal, = thump, q
shrieked curse. The six-shooter
spun out Of the wounded mans hand
and crashed against the wall. Blood
spurted from the shattered hand
that had held that gun.
Silence fell. Blue smoke filled the
still air. Langdon stood in . daze.
The burly man lay at his feet. In
the bed McElroy cursed flercely.
Langdon turned toward him.
"All right, McElroy. You're COM
ing with me"
The man In the bed stopped ours

Langdon knew, McElroy would
have a gun. 1t would be necessary
to keep out Of range Of that gun
when the time came.
Langdon stopped over the bed and
reached out as though to remove the
bandage. AS he did SO the sleeve
of his coat slid up over his wrist
revealing a white, crescent-shaped
scar.
Langden's arm suddenly stiffened
McElroy's eyes had fallen on that
scar, and in that instant Langdon
knew that the scar had betrayed his
identity. Somehow McElroy knew
about that crescent scar; it was like
a badge of office.
For a moment Langdon and the
man on the bed were frozen in tab
leau. The burly man could not see
his chiefs eyes because Of the sher-
ills body. Langdon knew this and
took advantage Of it. With his left
hand he gripped the wrist Of the
man on the bed and held 1t fiat
against the blankets. AS ne did 50

Three Men Convicted
On Passport Charges;
Mystery Unso|ved
Testimony Fails to Show
Fate Of Man, Women
Missing in Russio

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 3.-Conviction
Of three men on charges Of con-
spiracy to forge passports left still
unsolved today an international spy
mystery.
A Federal Court jury took less
than three hours yesterday to con-
vict Edward Blatt, an attorney;
Ossip CARRIER. a photographer. and
Aaron Sharf1n, former clerk in the
Egyptian Consulate.
Federal agents accused the three
Of being members Of a ring that
supplied faxed passports to foreign
espionage agents. They will be SEN
fenced Tuesday. They are liable to
two-year prison terms and 10000
fines each.
Testimony of IS witnesses during
the three week trial failed to dis
close the fate Of Adolph Arnold
Rubens, alias Donald L. Robinson, ~
and his American wife, Ruth Marie
who entered Moscow November 6
1887, on forged passports supplied
by the ring.
Both disappeared. A representa-
tive of the United States State
| Department later learned Soviet
authorities had imprisoned the
woman for suspected espionage.
He interviewed her, but did moi
disclose details of his visit. Since
then neither the woman nor hel
husband has been heard from.
Their passport aliases, testimony

tage type of one story, with single
thickness walls, no joists and un-
raftered roofs, usually erected with
out solid foundations. The other is
the fully timbered house, made in
all types, including cottages, bunga-
lows and villas for which cement or
brick foundations are necessary.
Through the advantages of pre-
fabrication, small summer cottages
range in price from $3.50 to $1,000,
the latter being quite elaborate and
OF the lodge type. One family
houses cost from 1916 to $2,48O,

MIAMI, Fla. July 22.-The high
est six months volume of new
building since the Florida boom of
l925-26 was recorded in Greater
Miami for the period ending June
80, 1899, it was reported today.
Building permits aggregated $14,-

the s9,ll0,63l construction volume
In the first six months of last year.
Based on the present building pro-
gram, the total of new construction
for all 1889 in the area, officials
estimate, should top $4,000, 900.
Volume for 1888 was $20,173,013.
Rejecting the steady growth of

struction has been concentrated on
residential buildings Permits were
issued for nearly 1000 homes in

u. 5. Studying Sweden's
Housing Program

The American building industry
and the United States Government
are seeking to learn a lesson from
the housing program going forward
in Sweden.
The European nation is taking
advantage Of the vast possibilities
in prefabricated housing, and the
Foreign Products Division of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce is keeping In touch with
developments through the American
trade commissioner at Stockholm.
Two large groups Of sawmill en-
terprises and several small inde-
pendent producers are engaged in
the manufacture of prefabricated
house units. One mill, devoted ex-
clusively to prefabricated homes is
subsidized by the government
Within four years the production ~
these units has more than trebled
IN volume.
Attention Of the industry is d.
Vlded between two main classifica-
