CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Danielle asked a perfectly natu-
raj question-but one that dumb
founded Aggie. How much gold
did they have?"
Good Lord! I didn't think to
ask" He came as close to grin
ming as was possible in the little
darkroom.
where's Il hidden?"
He was on the point Of rebuffing
that, also, when he saw her eyes
dilate with horror. They were look
ing at the floor; they had kept NOV
ing back toward 1t since she had
entered the room; what she was
seeing there made him whirl from
the cupboard. It was q CHASTITY
thing. Under the blanket was move
ment. She pointed and shrank into
a corner. Her mouth sprang open.
Don't yell again." he said fierce
ly. He bent, and whipped back the
covering. DR.. Davis's hand had re-
Taxed its hold on the knife and
was slipping across his chest in a
movement started, possibly, by the
weight Of fold Of the robe. That
was all. Under the robe, such mo-
ton had been hideous. Revealed,
it was shocking enough, but not
devastating. The arm slid away
from the knife, down across the
chest, and Topped Imply on the
concrete floor.
Danielle had covered her face.
Aggie knelt by the corpse. He
touched the skin Of its face. 1t was
not cold. Cool, but not cold in the
way Of yesterdays death, or death
hours old. Rigor mortis had not
set in. Not yet.
"We1l get out Of here in a min
Ute" he said to the girl. He
reached again for the blanket and
his eye fixed on the protruding
knife hilt. A good knife--engraved.
And initiated, he perceived, as he
bent close. The initials were in
fancy script: III. II. B." Hank
Henry-H. Bogarty. 1t was-in all
likelihood - the knife that had
pinned the calling card TO Sarah's
door. The knife he believed Calder
had found and taken.
Aggie gazed at the door that had
been locked, and the high, small
window. Then he pulled up the car
robe again. He rose and took DAN
ielle's arm. This has been rotten
for you," he said. He led her out
into the warm night. "Your father
killed himself with Hank Bogarty's
knife. He must have sean Calder
that night! It begiSs to look as if
after all-W
eyes," she said. 81 don't know
what you're talking about-but l
know what you mean. Father did
it."
"Unless-" He was walking to-
ward her house. 81 better see how
Sarah's coming along by now-f

"That's funny. 1t was all right
when ! went to bed. l called a

switched on more lights and half
smiled at the figure he made: pa

Aggie's eyes had been preoccu-

you know how the phone line comes

From the barn to the house.
The garage"
"Have you got a flashlightw
"l'll get one."
With the fashlight, they went
out again-by the back way. Aggie
pointed the Aashlight and found the
place where two black wires were
fixed to the house on glass insula-
tors. He followed them in q long
span TO more insulators on the
front Of the converted barn and
from there, around the side Of the
building, to rear corner. At that
point, the wires had been snapped
from the glass. He turned the light
to the ground and found the shiny
end Of one wire dangling from the
maple tree.

pole to do it with. Or q ladder. Or

"But - somebody - took the

She had spoken quickly, but she
went on sadly, "Why not quit all

Aggie gasped convulsively.
"Come onl We're going To Waite's
and fastl Suppose somebody got
him-too-and even Sarah"
He ran and Danielle ran behind
him-through the yard and out into
the road.
Their feet pounded duly on the
dirt and softly on pine needles. Old
leaves in the Waite driveway made
their running noisy again. They
stomped up on the porch. But Mr..
Waite was not dead. Aggie's elamor

sitting out in the cold, eating at the
second table, and being laughed at by
sensible people over the rest Of the
country. states rights has been the
Shibboleth, the war whOOp OF the reac-
tionaries for more than 100 years. Until
Appomattox. states rights WAS the cry
Of those who wished chattel slavery to
exist, and nowadays it is the cry Of
those who wish electric power cartel
slavery to exist.
The placing Of 70 million dollar
mortgage on Montana is not going to
entice back our young men and women
to work on the farms.
The statement by our distinguished
Governor that the state has five million
dollars in the general fund is specious.
The bonded Indebtedness Of the state is
more than five million dollars. If the
state trasury had just S27l 600 more, it
would have nothing at all. We can not
live forever on an artificial economy. We
must. if the state must employ labor to
avoid a crisis, put that labor to work
doing useful things-nOt bOondoggling
on road work that is not as necessary as
some other projects, more needed and
costing less.
Roads are great benefits. They are
not self-liquidating.
Joe Dixon, in a message to the Legis-
lature, asked for $4,000 to start state
tannery. A bill was accordingly intro
duced. Montana Dwindlers. Inc, then
got Joe to fight the bill he asked for.
With s25O,OOO the state could start a
tannery and 10 wool carding and clean

would do more good than widening trunk

of state moneys must originate in the
House-never even in the Senate-but by
this law. for 10 years. up to u million
dollars appropriations originate with the
Highway Commission. For my part I
cannot name the members Of the High
way Commission. do not know who is
chairman. and yet we are asked to turn
over to that commission the right 60
appropriate 10 million dollars Of state
moneys. I think that the Governor ap-
points the Highway Commission, and
probably can release them.
Fourth. Approaching that serious
times are ahead Of us, due to our arti-

employment are knocking at the gate,

out this bond issue as a sop TO labor
to turn the thought Of working people
away from a natural system Of economy
the building Of a Missouri Valley Au-
thority
They do not realize that this Is an
agrarian state; that our farmers would
welcome back to the farms right now at
least 10000 good young workers. These
workers would be better off on the
ranches and farms than following the
mirage Of temporary employment in
road work
But how long would the - million
dollars last? A road contractor tells me
that half Of it would go to road equip
ment and supplies bought out Of the
state. $500 year is rather small
wages under the present high cost OF
living but such wage, by giving 1000
men-no women-work for one year
would consume six million dollars.
And just what labor would get that
payroll? If all the states were providing
similar funds-say if New York we're
putting up 300 millions dollars, Ohio 200
million, etc, we might believe that our
six million would 60 to returning Mon
tana soldiers. California legislated to
exclude labor from other states. The
United States Supreme Court annulled
the California law There would be a
short in-rush Of itinerant labor from
elsewhere. Our six million dollars would
be consumed in the scramble. and at the
end OF one year we would be worse off
/ by - million dollars than we were be-
fore.
Every fall in the capitol grounds at
Helena there are lots Of beautiful red
berries on the ash trees. Clouds Of wax
wing birds come from somewhere, eat
all Of our nice, pretty berries in an hour
and fly away. Just that would happen
to our six million dollars left after the
road machinery and supplies were pur-
chased
It looks now that while we will finally

newspapers representing the electric

prevent us from getting it among the
