any man on earth, and he grabbed
my hand and shook it in a way that
showed there was plenty of strength
left in his sawed-off frame. He was
plainly excited.
She's coming. Sheriff. he said.
Coming to see mer'
who's coming, Pete?"
MY niece, Mary" Pete said. He
seemed more bewildered than any
thing else, but pleased, too, and you
can imagine how l felt. 1t was the
first real bright hope I'd had. If only
we could get her to stay at Pete's
Well!
When she stepped off the train l
got jolt. She was pretty. dressed
plainly and with less rouge on her
cheeks than most women, but she
looked at me as if she could see right
through my clothes and tell how
much money l had in my pocket. and
how easy she could get it. She wasn't
any stranger to men. that girl. But
looking at her, l was willing to bet
that men had hurt her, and she
hated them for it.
Pete was holding the telegram in
his hand - she'd sent it from Port
land. Oregon - and she walked up
to him. little defiant and sullen.
''Are you she began. but Pete
interrupted her. I'm sure glad you've
come, honey" he said, his deep voice
booming out in a way that showed he
meant it. you're home, now"
Like I've been trying to say. a
man can be fool in some ways and
just plain great in others. Pete looked
at that girl and knew all there was
to know in one glance. And he stood

sheepherder, snorted. "His niece!
Where is she? Pete doesn't know. He
hasn't written letter or received one
in fifteen years.
There wasn't much l could say to
that. They got down to brass tacks,
and 1t was agreed that as long as
Pete had plenty of money to live on
and it wouldn't be any hardship,
they were going to ask Judge Harrison
to appoint guardian for him, move
the old man into town and put him
up in the hotel.
And let him die" l said.
All got for that was some hard
looks from Gus Morten, who owned
the hotel. The meeting broke up. and
knew they'd go through with it.
After all, it was their bread and
butter.
l had plenty on my mind. but not
too much to keep me from spending
a few minutes the next day checking
up on Anthony Comorra. l found he
had asked lot of questions about old
Pete and his niece, and then had
left town.
No ONE told Pete what was going
on. l didn't because it would only
have made extra trouble. After all,
if had to 60 out and bring Pete in,
wanted to get between him and his
gun rack before l told him.
Things dragged along while the
Associations lawyer filed out papers.
Then one day. when dropped by to
watch the 1:1O train come in, l got
surprise. There was Pete, all dressed
up in his good clothes, with his white
hair and beard blowing light and
silky around his face as if he'd just

deep and heart broken. like
a child that's come home to
its mother. l judged it was
the first time she'd cried in
a long while. With one arm
across her shoulders, Pete
led her away.
WELL, l got busy and
talked to the sheepmen, and
they agreed to hold off and
see how things worked out.
Most of them we're mighty
relieved, as what they'd
been planning to do weighed
on their minds as much as
it did on mine.
Being Sheriff, l don't
take much on its face value,
and it seemed to me Pete's
niece had arrived maybe a
little too providentially. To
get a line on things. l had a
talk with the gas-station
man, because anyone going
or coming from Pete's Well
has to pass the station.
Really, though. l was hop

In three or four weeks it
looked as if everything was

"Yes'm," l nodded.
She half started to say
something more, and then

most of the time, watching

eye. Her biscuits were ter

 Street Conflict

Paris, April 26 6- (UP) Three fugitive American soldiers described as dangerous killers were captured today after a running gun battle through narrow streets and over the rooftops in the Paris financial dis trict.
 A An old Frenchman was caught in tks line of fire and wounded grave ly and French policeman suffered bullet wound in a spectacular chase such as Parisians had not witnessed since the liberation.

 They challenged the fugitiveS, who were armed with service auto matics. The battle cliInaxed 8 two- week blood feud" between the M. P.s and a gang of renegades.
 The first captured was Eddy Jones, Jr., a Negro, who opened fire before he was tackled. John Lee was taken as he ran down narrow street after emptying his pistol at his pursuers and hitting a French policeman. The third was Gomer c. Blackburn.

 not producing enough children, ac- cording to a Harvard sociologist.
 Speaking before the New England Regional Conference and Institute of the Child Welfare League last night, Dr. Carle c. Zimmerman said the situation in America today is similar to what happened to the Greek and Roman civilizations where the decline of the moral sys- tenn is eXemplified.
 He said the family long has been losing it's Fundamental hold upon the people-first among the well-to- do, then among the middle classes, and finally, within the rank-and-tile of society.
 "The symptoms described in both ages (Greek and Roman) are alike; childlessneSs, lack of interest in the family, high rate of juvenile delia- quency and weaknesses in family times" he said.
 Dr. Zimmerman praised the work of Britain and Sweden in restor- ing the vitality of the family.
 In modern society, he said, there is too much secrecy, evasion and concealment of the facts. The Greeks and Romans paid no atten- ton to morals or standards once their family systems were shattered, he said.
 The decay of the family system is attended by a "concomitant les- sening in adherence to the moral doctrine of Christianity" he said. He predicted that the eonse- quences of divorce, self-limitation on reproduction, and brittleness of moral ideals would be general inhu- manity everywhere.

American protests against her broad definition of war booty. but did not reveal its contents. The first reply, received early in March, likewise has been withheld.
 The U. s. notes made the sugges. ton that Manchurian industries Dc used for inter-Allied separations. Russia. however. reportedly held that movable war industries fell within the classification of war booty rather than potential repaFa- ti0ns.
