speedy that the surprised Doug

he could go into action.
Informed that Douglas, their
leader, was safely in jail, O'Con-

According 10 their statements
they had met Douglas by chance
on New Years Day. All three
were unemployed at the time.
Douglas told them he had heard
OF a mining district in Arizona
where il was easy TO pick up
$40 a day working shallow gold
mines. The bright picture of
easy pickings induced Doughty
TO furnish his car, and O'Connel
agreed TO 90 along.

prospecting but soon realized
that their easy money Idea was

Dog Finds Graves

After finishing his belated
meal, the dog dashed from the
cabin and set up an excited
yelping that drew Livingston'S
attention. Aware that his noise
had attracted notice, the intelll-
gent animal headed for the
brush, stopping only momen-
tarily TO assure himself that he
was being followed. The sheriff
shouted 10 Dugas and they ran
after The dog.
The two men followed the
hysterical yaprng to a sandy
draw where the collie stood
whining, his head and tail
dropped. There, ominous dark
spots speckled the otherwise
clean sand Of the clearing.
The sheriff spaded the ground
while the trapper assisted by
digging with his hunting knife.
Ten inches below the surface
the shovel soon uncovered a
crumpled body beneath the
folds of an old bed quilt. 1t
baffled facial identification-a
terrific shotgun blast had mutt
lated the features. But Dugas
identified Hayden TO the sheriff's
satisfaction - but where was
Hart?
The officers ear detected a
faint, almost imperceptible cry
from the distance. He looked
around the clearing-the dog
was missingl
Come on" he cried 20 Dugas,
the collie's found Harris gravel"
And so il proved. They found
the faithful beast mourning
over the shallow grave dug for
the second of his kindly old
masters. Hart had also received
shattering shotgun blast In
the back of his head.
Then the young sheriff flung
his little body into the saddle
and headed southwestward 10
miles TO the little town of Sa-
lone.
