CHAPTER iii

Terry tlghtened the Saodle clncn.
He caught glimpse of face star
ing at him from grimy window OF
the Red Triangle Saloon. A moment
later a gun roared. His hat tilted
forward. Through the brim and the
crown a bullet had torn its way.
Calhoun Terry dismounted. He
walked back along the wooden side
walk, close to the wall, and pushed
through the swing doors of the Red
Triangle.
Three customers were at the bar.
Acknowledgment. The gaze Of
Terry picked them up in turn. It
observed also that the back door
was ajar. He had mental vision
of somebody vanishing into the alley
swiftly a moment before his entry,
a heavy-set, bowlegged man with an
ugly, sullen face.
'By God, you take the cake, Ter
ry," Brand said with hard laugh.
"You got away with it at Evans
store. Don't you reckon you're
pressing yore luck too far?"
The cattleman ignored the ques-
ion.
Didn't Lee Hart have time to
shut the door when he ran away?"
Terry asked.
There was a pause, too long, be-
fore Brand spoke.
Hart hasn't been here"
There was another moment of 81
lence before Turley answered: "We
heard shot. It didn't come from
here, if that's what you mean"
The cowman stretched out his left
arm and laid a forefinger on the hole
in one of the panes Of the window
beside him. ''My mistake" he said.
Fellow shot that hole in the win
dow in row two months ago." the
bartender explained.
Terry did some swift guessing.
The bullet which had passed through
his hat had come from a rifle. The
sound of the shot told him that. But
Hart had been armed only with
revolver. Therefore he had bor-
rowed the saloon Winchester. Since
he was in a hurry to get away un-
noticed, he had not taken it with
him. The weapon must still be in
the room, but Calhoun's searching
eyes had not found it. Probably
somebody had passed it to the sa-
loon man, who had hurriedly put it
under the bar. Ii
Terry held out an expectant hand.
"Give me that rifle under the bar"
he ordered. ata
The bartender's eyes grew big.
''Why, Mr.. Terry, II don't reck-
on"
1.-THE rifle" interrupted Terry
coldly.
''You don't have to give it to him,
Hank" Brand told the man. ''This
fellow amt cock-a-doodle-doo in this
town.
Apparently the bartender was Of
q different opinion. He stopped down
and passed rifle across the top of
the bar. -@Ns
An investigation showed that it
had been fred very recently. Terry
laughed scornfully and handed it
back to the man in the white apron.
Somebody may want it again to
shoot me in the back when leave"
he said. a ~ u t4
Terry's gaze passed to rest on
Afford. ''I'm a little surprised at
you, Roam. When / was your neigh
Dor you wouldn't have stood back of
a scoundrel who tried to shoot an
other man in the back" "a
Afford shifted lneasily on his feet.
A flush crept up into his wrinkledt
face. II don't stand back of any
body doing it now" he said.
Calhoun Terry gave him long,
keen look. He could see that the
little man was embarrassed and
ashamed.
st get it, Roam. Lee took you by
surprise. Didn't give you time to
stop him."
He let his cold eyes sweep the
room again disdainfully, then turned
and pushed through the swing doors.

At the top of the first rise she
stopped a moment to look down into
the valley where the Box 55 lay
among the cottonwoods by the river.
From the hollow beyond, rose a
cloud Of slowly moving dust. She
knew what that meant. Cattle or
horses were on the march.
A rider showed on the nearer lip
of the hollow. While she watched,
a second came out of the valley and
joined him. One Of the men rode a

TROPICAL FARMERS

In glancing over the happenings at Washing ton D. C.. during the past couple of weeks, we mo- tice that Inter-American Institute of Tropical Agriculture is to be established before the present year has wended it's way into history
 All of which reminds us that Vice. President Wallace when he was Secretary of Agriculture, two years ago intimated that the Department of Agri culture would take immediate steps to set up branch experiment stations to study suitable agriculture in South America.
 At the time, Henry Walace's plans along this line were all tied up with hemisphere solidarity" and the quieting of protests by cattlemen in this country who walled at seeing Argentine beef sold on the U s. market at prices below the figures at which they could market profitably their own meat
 What really griped the cattle rasers and grain growers at the time was a reciprocal trade agree ment under which certain amount of Argentine beef and South American wheat allowed to enter this country free of duty. They pointed out that there was already a surplus of good beef and grain in this country which going begging.
 But with a war just breaking out in Europe then, and with German traders making strong bids for the South American business, it felt that at all costs our friendly trade relations with the Latin American countries must be maintained and built to more friendly basis, if possible.
 It seems that the institute of tropical agricul- ture about to be established will be under Nelson A. Rockefeller coordinator of Inter American Af- fairs It will be headed by pr Earl N Bressman, who proved himself as assistant director of the Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations in the De- partment of Agriculture, under Henry Wallace.
 And, apparently, the new institute will do just the sort of job that Wallace had in mind, when he proposed South American experiment stations.
 For Wallace recognized the justice ill the com plaints of the farmers who being undersold by South American products He also firmly believed that we could establish trade with the South American countries which would be based on re- ceving from them products which badly need

Idealizing Russia

(New York Times)
 A strong argument be made and has been made for American aid to Russia, but this argu- ment does not rest on the preposterous notion that Russia is a democracy It rests, instead on mli- tary grounds-and on these grounds exclusively. Russia fighting Hitler and Hitler is the great threat to security. American aid to Russia thus becomes a question of military strategy It ought to be treated as such We shall merely delude our- selves if we try to justify aid for Russia on the ground that the Soviets share our democratic theories.
 A case in point is President Roosevelts discovery that the Soviet Constitution guarantees freedom of worship in Russia. It is right there, in Article 124. But the Soviet Constitution guarantees large num- Der of things-in the abstract. For example: the very next article, No. l25, guarantees freedom of speech freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and of holding mass meetings freedom of street pro- sessions and demonstrations The imagination baks at conceving of any minority group in Russia exercising in slightest degree any one of these fine freedoms The jails full of those who tried
 It ought to be possible for us to keep our think ing straight We can honor the splendid courage of the Russian people now fighting against Hitler for the defense of their own soil. We recognize the advantage from the point of view of the democ- racies of keeping Russia in the war, though the question of how much actual aid we can give at this time must necessarily be considered in relation to such other factors still tagging production of war materials the problem of transportation, and the strong case to be made for sending the great bulk of our aid to Britain But there the matter ought to stand. If Stalins Russia is a democracy, then so is Htlers Germany

permitting the Navy to buy canned Argentine beef (which cannot contain hoof -and-mouth germs) But the entire West rose in de- fense of the American COW when the President indicated that Ar genuine cattle were superior.
 Again the State Department pro- posed a sanitary convention where by Argentina could send lamb and mutton from Patagonia, region similar to Alaska which juts down toward the South Pole and where hoof- and mouth disease cannot possibly exist. This, however, is still pigeon -holed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 But more recently the Justice Department ruled that Argentine beef could enter from the island of Terra del Fuego. This is an Antarctic Island on the other side of the Strait of Magellan. It is a small bleak area, completely cut off from the Argentine mainland and raises only yearly driblet of 5000 tons of mutton. But it con- stituted an important sop to the Argentine's pride and they were delighted.
 Now, however, western Senators from cattle-growing areas are de-

and cannot grow In this country. For these goods we would trade some of our farm crops but more of our industrial products which are in demand in the land of the gauchos.
 Coffee, which get from Brazil and without which many an American would find life just about unbearable, is good example of the type of farm crop which Wallace hoped could be de- veloped for South American trade with this country
 One big potential South American crop toward which Wallace looking rubber The type of rubber now grown in some tropical sections of South America is not that best fitted to the pro- duction of truck tires rubber bands and overshoes but by experimenting with African rubber plants, cross breeding and developing new rubber plant, which would be adopted to South American growing conditions, it is hoped acceptable rubber be produced
 There also other crops, several of them trop ical fruits, which may well stand investigation Some of these fruits, now imported in limited quan- titles to this country not generally popular with American housewives If the growing of these fruits be placed profitably on a arge-scale basis real market in the States may be developed for them.
 Still other trade possibilities are to be seen in the production of hemp and other fibers
 With threatening, the speed of these perimental jobs in the next few years is doubtful but it stands to reason that if South American in dustries either agricultural or mechanical which can fill needs in the United States be developed two-way trade that will be mutually beneficial to both hemispheres in the western world will be the ultimate result.

manding that even this sop to Ar gentina be stopped Probably they will not win. But every statement or speech they make, cabled back to Argentina, which enjoys a press as free as ours, sours public opin- ion, makes the task of Hitler easier.
 What the US. Congress should do, instead, is send friendly Con- gressional mission to Argentina to cement closer relations with na- ton which can boast Congress just as conscientious and just as anti-Hitler as ours.

WEDNESDAI OClODER 1z ~
 Adverse planetary aspects are strong today, but Neptune is in kindly sway. Again labor troubles are indicated.
 HEART AND HOME: In the family circle personalities may clash under this configuration. Young folk may be too indepen- dent for their best development. Girls whose modern pose of indif- ference has limited their social de- velopment now will be touched by deep emotions as they realize something of the meaning of Q war that extends over the world. Many disappointing love affairs are presaged for the next few months. Women of all ages will seek tasks that aid national de- fenSe.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Govern ment effort to prevent the rise in cost of living may be unfortunate for certain lines of merchandising. Political appointees will discover that they lack much in experience where finance and economics are involved. Aid for the small busi- nessman will be sought as he sttfs fers from pressure of high wages and heavy taxes. Prosperity for the majority of United States citizens will probably continue until the be- ginning of the new year.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: One of the fifth column aims will be to in- crease race consciousness among citizens Negroes will be melted to acts of violence. Japanese will in dulge in secret methods of resent ing unjust judgment from fellow workers in fields of American farnl- CTS. In cities largely populated by Germans who are citizens of the United States unfriendly gestures may arouse resentment. The seers stress the statement that this is a time when all who dwell in this free country should express grati- tude in an all- -encompassing kind Illness.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s: When it is realized that one-fifth of the great population of Russia is concentrated in the Urals, the loss of territory so stubbornly de- fended will be appreciated in it's general effect upon the world war. Evil portents have been foreseen for retreat in region of greatest importance to the Soviet Govern ment and the Russian people. It must be remembered that from the beginning of the Axis invasion the seers have prophesied a long and often discouraging conflict.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- expected changes and perplexing experiences, which finally will prove more or less beneficial.
 Children born on this day will find obstacles in the path of suc- cess, but both boys and girls have the prognostication of noteworthy careers if properly directed.
