Sheriff Burden would take at least
four.
Then, week before the day he
had planned his deed, he set off by
himself with pack horse and equip
ment for an extended stay in the
hills, telling them at the hotel he
was going to explore the Rainy Val
ley for outcroppings of copper. In
stead, he located the samples that
he had cached a fortnight before
filled his saddle bags with them, and
moved on to the ridge which over
looked the ravine where Sommers
had his cabin. He camped on the
western slope, and each day he as
sumed vigil at spot where he could
watch the cabin without being OBJ
served.
Presently there came a day when
he saw Joe Bridges. Sommers' part

mules. This meant that Sommers

When the deed was done, Belcher
pressed the dead mans fingers
against the gun and placed the

ashes into those made by the wood
fire. Then he called Sheriff Burden.

when Belcher had finished his re-
cital, You don't say! Suicide, eh?
Well, I'll be out. You just hang
around till I get there, Belcher.'
Sure" said Belcher easily, I'll
stick around" He hung up and
chuckled to himself. The dumb
cluck! How can guy live and be
so stupid? Maybe I was fool to
take all these precautions. but I
guess it's smart not to take any
chances"
He went to the fireplace and re-
moved the stone behind which he
knew Sommers kept his cache of
gold. His eyes cleaned lustfully as
he lifted out the stack. Twenty
thousand if there's a dime!" For a
moment he stood there, his mind
conjuring vivid pictures of the pleas
ures this money was going to bring.
Then he closed the sack, knotted
the opening securely and went out

High up on the slope behind the
shack he hid the sack beneath q

before he came to retrieve it, just
in case that dumb sheriff had any
ideas.

Gasoline Trick Fails

While trying to convince the navy
of1ice of Japan that they could
make gasoline from water by waving
a few tests and phials, two fake
scientists" were arrested by the
police of Toxic. Koretomi Hinda,
one of the pair, was involved in a
fantastic enterprise in 1925 for max
ing straw into cotton. The two
were making their third demonstra-
ton to skeptical naval officers when
Inspector Hideki Okazaki happened
in. The self-styled inventors went
through series of mysterious hokus
pocus, Okazaki said, and mixed the
contents of II test tubes in a tub
of water. While one demonstrator
had the attention of the officers
the other, by sleight-of-hand, sub
stituted a tub of gasoline for the
tub of water.
