TREASWR RE

'Then why'd you save my life?
Tucu had me-"
Eyes, but / had to get Tucu,"
Dick replied. 81 wanted to settle
an old score with him. I guess
that was it."
"And leave the score with me
open?" smiled Hen. Then frowning,
he added: Jordan, you got me
guessing at times. You're a con-
tradiction in character-weak and
strong, simple or foolish and
shrewd, brave in some things and
cowardly-"
Dicks hand clenched. "If you
think I'm surrendering because I'm
afraid of you, Hen," he began trucu-
lently, "get it out of your mind.
l."
There you go again-off on a
tangent" was the quiet Interrupt
ton. Nov, listen!" he added, rails
ing hand. "I'n prove to you that
I'm right. I'll make an even bet
you'll contradict any reasonable
mans guess what you'd do under
the circumstances. I'll put you to
the test.''
He paused an instant, his eyes
twinkling with amusement. Jordan,
you can have your choice of return
ing with me to answer that old
charge, or going scot free. No, you
won't be bounded by the law. I'll
report you went down with the City
of Bahia. That will close the case.
Your name will be eliminated from
our books. You'll be free man
to choose your own life"
"You mean" stammered Dick,
his eyes lighting with hope. He
stopped and glanced from his old
enemy to Rose. Her face and eyes
were strangely noncommittal. He
would have his freedom, able to look
every man fearlessly in the eye,
and not dream of nights that the
shadow of the law was pursuing and
ready to close about him. A great
burden slipped from his mind.
Ct" he muttered, beginning
again, and stopping abruptly. Rose
would not have part with him in
that new life of freedom; he would
lose her either way. He turned
suddenly to Hen, his mind made up.
II hate to disappoint you on that
bet with yourself, Hen" he said
easily, grinning, "but I'll go with
you. l said would, and i haven't
changed my mind"
Consider carefully, Jordan"
warned the other. "If you can't
prove your innocence of that theft it
means five years for you"
"Sure!S Don't know that?"
"You believe you can prove your
innocence?"
"No! If I had I'd never have
run away"
"You were guilty?"
"Hell! No! I've told you that
thousand times.
"Then why'd you leave? Didn't
you know that would brand you as
criminal?"

How Dicks Ruse
Made Complications

Dick sat up and faced the situa-
ton bravely. In saving Hens life,
he had unwittingly made his own
exposure a certainty. There was
no need for further subterfuge; !;
Rose would have to know all.
II was lucky" he replied, "but
not the rest. They were all lost.

until Tucu here picked me up on the
lugger, and then"
He glanced at Rose, and added:
"Ask her. She'll tell you the rest. I"
But Roses sympathy for Petit
grew was unexpectedly aroused to
action. Hens strength, that had
been restored for a time by the ex-
citement, showed signs of waning; he
grew deadly pale, and began sink
ing rapidly. His eyes closed and
the head sagged forward until it
touched the ground.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, jumping to
her feet. "He's dyingl We must
get help, Dick"
The rest of the party arrived in
time to give Hen all the human aid
that was possible. He was serious
ly but not dangerously wounded,
and after staunching the flow of
blood and binding up the ugly holes
the bullets had made in his side
and shoulders, he recovered from
his faint, and smiled grinly.

FLOATING LAB ON WAY TO BIkINI I5

flSSOCldtCu lIcSS OCACAlCE HAtROit tCA
 SAN FRANCISCO, June LA cargo of animals faintly resemb- ling that of Noah's Ark sailed to- day aboard the Navy transport Burieson for rendezvous with destiny at Bikini Atoll.
 The ship carried about 4,000 white rats, 200 goats from the re- zion of Houston, Tex; 200 pigs from Sacramento, Calf; an odd assortment of disease germs and insects, a few guinea pigs and few mice. The animals will experience the effects of the atomic bombs in operation crossroads"
 Like Noahs charges, they will ride out catastrophe-this time man-made one-which may af- feet the future of the whole world Their keepers expect many to sur vive the fury of the splintered atoms and live to ripe old age in the luxury of government labor atories.
 The day before the first blast at Bikini, they will be placed in strategic positions aboard 22 of the IT target ships. AS soon as it is safe for humans to board the ships after the initial bombing, the ami mals will be returned to the Bur leson and examined by doctors and biological scientists seeking answers to thousands of questions about the effects of atom blasts on living things.
 For these examinations. the Bur- leson carried probably the most costly and extensive laboratory equipment ever put afloat. The an lmals will be tested from their skins inward, down to the tiniest parts of their individual body cells

WASHINGTON. June 1. = Tho Senate stamped its approval today on a diluted version of President 'Truman's emergency labor pro gram.
 It took a week of bitter b 'gu- E,ent and final session that last ed until we'll after midnight to pass it, 6l to 20
 But the Senate bill is vastly dif- ferent from the one the House passed 306 to 13 just week ago, after listening to Mir. Truman's ap- peal for authority to draft those who strike when the government seizes an industry,
 The House bill gave him that authority; the Senate didn't.
 Now the bill goes back to the House. If the Representatives agree with the Senate, the bill will go on to Mir. Truman.
 If they disagree (Which seems likely in view of their previous ac- tion). conference committee will have to work out something agree able to both bodies.
 Tn any event, the House isn't likely to take any immediate action. tor two reasons:
 l. The House has agreed to take up no controversial legislation until Thursday.
 9 There are indications that House members may not want to take any action until they learn what the President intends to do with the Case anti-strike bill. This has passed the House and Senate, md now awaits Presidential action.
 In addition to tossing out the la bor-draft provision, the Senate also eliminated sections which would deny seniority rights to strikers in seized industries and require pay ment of just compensation" to plant owners whose property is taken over.
