When Garcy had that paper signed and sworn to and witnessed by Stone and himself he turned to Goddard. CHAPTER XVII.—Continued “Dustin tells a different story,” suggested Garcy. “There's the cat- tle rustled off the Hour-glass. Corse and Gray’ll come across there. You better talk to your lawyer, too, God- dard, and get him to tell you what cchamperty is. It'll interest you in ‘that false suit over Soda Springs. You're good for five years at least. ‘You listen to me, Garcy. . . If Sam Dustin says .. .” But Garcy swept on: “The State isn’t especially anxious to get you for rustlin’. That lies with Joe Carr. What I can do, Goddard, is to promise you immunity for all acts up till now provided you come across with a signed statement of all you know about old man Kane nd this man Keene.” Spike breathed hard and consider- ed the irons on his wrists. They were proof positive that Garcy meant busi- ness. They had the goods on Dustin. He had always warned Sam that he was biting off more than he could chew. It would not help Dustin in the slightest degree. They had enough on Dustin now to hang him. If they failed to hang him, they would “put him away” for years. In the office-safe there was enough to get away with; a trifle over seven- teen thousand dollars, proceeds from the looted cattle from the Hour- glass that no one knew of but him- self and Dustin. He studied the three men before him. “If I make a statement will you promise me there'll be no publicity?” he quavered. “Sure. That’s all right. You'll be subpeened later probably as a wit- ness,” said Garcy. “All I’m tryin’ to do is to save the County a long ex- pensive suit. Your affidavit will show Dustin the sense in pleadin’ guilty to second degree murder. That'll save his life. But he'll be locked up for life. . . . That’ll mean really about twenty years.” fis Ree =) sn My Godt, 3. Tl give you my affidavit to all facts I know in exchange for your written promise of immunity. “Get paper and ink.

His lawyer’ll look out for that. But if he gets out, I’d hate to be in your shoes when he learns of this statement.” Spike Goddard. was of the same opinion and the moment Garcy’s car shot around a turn in the Seco trail he was the busiest man in Crevasse fSounty. In ten minutes he had the wall-safe opened. In ten more he had packed a valise that he flung into the back seat of the battered little ranch-car. The fat old cook at the Broken Spur was the last man to see him as he stepped on the gas and hurled that car along the open trail to the South. Armed with that affidavit Garcy and Stone headed straight for the office of the County Attorney where they were met by Masters, the fer- ret-faced little attorney, who had protected the Broken Spur for many years. Masters scanned the paper and the other proofs that Lorton frankly laid before him. “Oh, you'll get an indictment of course,” said Masters. “And you've got enough to put up a fight. I can’t say off-hand how we'll plead. Of course in this case of young Keene; I understand he died. . . .” “Well he didn’t,” snapped Stone. “Listen here. I had to get time to investigate the Kane business. I wanted time to look around so I got Epps to give out a report that Keene was dead. I figured that’d make Dustin show his hand and it did. He tried at once to make Edith Carr marry him. He said he'd save her father if she’d marry him. He was perfectly willing to sacrifice Peyotl to get the girl. It was quite an acci- dent that we learned that Dustin killed Kane.” “That affidavit would send Dustin up for twenty years even if he hadn’t murdered old Kane,” said Lorton. “This clears old Carr of course. We might get him over here, Sheriff.” While Carr was sent for, Masters interviewed his client and told him of the affidavit that Goddard had given and for five full minutes Dus- tin was speechless. Then: “The...” He ripped out a vitriolic name. “He’s sent me up for life at least to save his own dirty hide. But he can’t get away with it. You tell Garcy that that little crook has jumped the state for the Border. He's certainly taken along with him seventeen thousand dollars that we had in the wall-safe at the Broken Spur. In ten minutes Sheriff Garcy had the wires red-hot and six hours later action was had when Layton of the Border Patrol wired in that they had picked up Goddard at Willow Cross- ing on the Big River just as he was preparing to cross into Old Mexico . and safety. Garcy sought Stone and told him: “It puts a different complexion on Goddard's status,” he said. “I prom- ised him immunity but he did this afterwards. This’ll jail him along with Dustin. It ought to help clear up the mess of the Hour-glass too. Let’s get back and see old Joe Carr when he learns all that has hap- pened.” Carr, brought from Garcy’s house, listened dazedly to the complicated tale. When silence came he leaned forward and scanned Stone closely. “I don’t seem to get this quite straight,” he said. know . . How is young Keene? | Of course I didn’t shoot him but 1| can’t explain what took place. I'd like to call up Edith on the phone and tell her though. She'll want to know. GPa.” “You might tell her,” said Stone, “that Gerald Keene will drive out to the Hour-glass with you in a little while. ate “How do you know he will?” snapped Carr. “Can't he answer for himself? For God’s sake get him from Doc Epps if he’s not seriously burt.” “That's all right,” said Stone easily. “I happen to be able to speak for him because . . . I AM GERALD KEENE.” A bomb-shell falling between them would not have caused more aston- ishment. When it partially subsided Stone explained. “Burwell of the Cato bank told me that Dustin and Goddard had sys- tematically looted the Hour-glass. I knew of course that as Mr. Carr’s partner, I’d never get a hair of evi- dence so I took Duro Stone’s name. Duro was my foreman on a little ranch I own up in the Wind River basin. I came on down here with a letter from Gerald Keene to Mr. Carr and I got a job as Duro Stone. I saw almost at once how things were going. Mr. well crippled up and Dustin and God- dard were on the prod. Then I found out about the cattle bein’ swiped by the men from the Broken Spur. . . . I couldn’t do much because it would be only the evidence of one man and he a stranger. Then I found out about the gold-mine and after that the other things came to light. Of course I knew at once that the scoundrel wanted to marry Edith and was trying to force her consent. When Keene . . I mean the real Stone . . was shot I had to per- suade Epps to give out word of his death. I figured that would make Dustin show his hand and it did. I had to swear out a warrant for Dus- tin’s arrest on the narcotic charge because I needed three days to go up to investigate Peyotl Gregg’s story about Kane's death and I didn’t want Dustin to know about it. That’s why I had Garcy pinch him. I couldn't have concealed my identity very long though. Crewe spotted me. You would have too, Mr. Carr, if you hadn’t been so crippled that you couldn’t get around.” “Does Edith know?” Carr. Stone shook his head. “By the way,” he said, “we'd better send for the real Duro Stone. He's gettin’ darned tired of bein’ dead.” In the riotous hour that followed, old Joe Carr’s eyes seldom left his recent employee, Duro Stone. - He followed every little movement with an interest that was pathetic. “Now that I know who you are, I can see Peter Vinton in your every move,” he said. “I want to see Edith’s face when she’s told.” “So do I. Let’s get out to the Hour- glass right away,” said the new Ger- ald Keene ingenuously. Edith, warned by the telephone, was standing on the:porch. The sun, shining full in her eyes, filled them with a curious light and made a bright nimbus about her head as she stretched out a hand to the new Gerald Keene. “T hardly know how to greet you,” she said half-shyly. “I was prepared to give Duro Stone a warm wel- come. . .

Relieve Heart Disease New Operation Reduces Activity Of Thyroid Gland A new operation for heart disease was reported to the American Col- lege of Physicians meeting in Phila- delphia. The operation hobbles the thyroid gland, and is one of a series of simi- lar, rapid steps made in the last two years toward relieving the suffering of heart victims. The operation was described by James Alexander “Lyon, M.D., and Edmund Horgan, M.D., of Washing- ton. They reduce the activity of the thyroid, one of the body’s chief energy producing machines, by cut- ting down both its blood and its nerve supply. The arteries running to the gland are tied off, and with them the gland’s connection with the sym- pathetic nervous system. The gland is hobbled, that is, does not entirely stop. . The energizing product it pours into the blood -stream, thyroxin, is much diminished. The result is an easing off on the work done by the heart. The operation has relieved five cases of angina pectoris of their pains. It has relieved three cases of congestive heart failure,,a condition when the blood is sluggish. Changes Their Color Zoologist Finds X-Ray Has Queer Effect On Mice Colored mice are now available in St. Louis, in all colors except green, bright blue and orange, and prohibi- tion repeal has nothing to do with it. It’s science. This was announced by Dr. George D. Snell, assistant pro- fessor of zoology at~ Washington University, who has been studying the effects of X-ray in the heredity of mice. A combination of dieting and exposure to the roentgen rays produced the startling colorations and in some instances strange mal- formations and abnormalities, Dr. Snell reported. Our Democratic Sovereigns Amusing Episode Of Visit Of Royalty 150 Years Ago To-day the members of the British Royal family are most democratic. In celebrating the Royal Jubilee the British people feel their King and Queen are not only their sovereigns but their friends. And if this de- tracts in any way from the romantic atmosphere of royalty it adds in- finitely more to the human relation- ship—a deeper and warmer bond than the merely remote and pic- turesque. We could never imagine our King George and Queen Mary permitting such stilted behaviour among their personal friends as was exacted 150 years ago by George III. when he paid what was presumably a friendly call on Mrs. Delany. The visit is thus amusingly described by Agnes Rep- plier in her charming book “To Think of Tea.” “When the king entered Mrs. De- lany’s parlour, all its occupants ex- cept the hostess backed respectfully to the wall, and stood there at at- tention. Then Miss Post backed out of the door and brought in two ex- tra candles which she placed on the tables; backed out a second time and brought in two more candles which she placed on the pianoforte; backed out a third time, and brought in His Majesty’s tea on a large salver with sugar and cream, bread and butter, cake and a napkin. While he drank it she returned to her station by the wall. When he had finished, she took his cup, backed out of the room a fourth time and brought him a fresh supply. It was well he did not drink sixteen cups in Dr. Johnson’s fashion, or Miss Post’s legs would have given way under her. Of course no one par- took of tea with the king. He drank it in solemn state . . . and took his departure, leaving the company over- whelmed by a profound sense of his condescension.” Sweepstake Building Burned Fire In Dublin Destroys Structure Owned By Irish Free State The Plaza building in Dublin, where prizes are drawn in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes, was swept by fire, rumored to be of incendiary origin. None of the 300 young women em- ployed in the building were at work. Many of them later joined the throng of spectators and wept as the walls of the blazing structure collapsed with a tremendous roar. The elaborately decorated drum from which the counterfoils are taken in the sweepstakes draw was found in the debris, a mass of twisted steel. The building, of frame and brick construction, was owned by the Saorstat (Irish Free State) govern- ment and contained the sweepstakes records. It was situated on Abbey street, near O'Connell. The sweeps draw was held on its second floor in a large room once used as a ball- room.

Rather, it is like a bird Singing, who knows why? By what winds of fancy stirred Into melody? Joy is careless where it dwells, How it comes or goes; Who can say what charm impels Song that heavenward flows? I had thought my joy was spent, Fluttered from my hand; I had sought to find content In a silent land. Then upon a golden day, Fairest, loveliest, Joy rose, like a lark in May, Singing in my breast!

Under Thy wings my God I rest, Under Thy shadow safely lie; By Thy own strength in peace possessed While dreaded evils pass me by. A heart rejoicing in God delights in all His will, and is surely provided with the most firm joy in all estates; for if nothing can come to pass he- side or against His will, than that soul cannot be vexed which delights in Him, and hath no will but his, not only when He shines bright on them but when they are clouded. That flower which follows the sun doth so even on cloudy days. When the sun does not shine it follows the hidden course and motion of it. So the soul that moves after God keeps that course even when he hides His face, and is content to do His will in all conditions. Labor Under Handicap Child With Defective Hearing Or Sight Often Neglected “There is no child so completely neglected, so completely misunder- stood as the child who is losing his hearing,” says an investigator. ‘He does not even understand his own plight, he feels no pain; he only knows the impatience, the hard knocks, the lack of sympathy or the bitterness of being passed over or ignored. There are many thousands of these hard-of-hearing children in the State of New York. Some of them are being discovered through surveys.” The New York State Federation of Women’s Clubs has two hard-work- ing committees, attacking what is often the origin of juvenile delin- quency and the quotation shows their finding. The child with eye-defects is also isolated and often anti-social. A Country’s Real Enemies Are Not Those Which Exist Across Some Boundary Every nation of the world is labor- ing under the terrific illusion that its enemies exist across some geographi- cal boundary. We do not slay our enemies when we slay our brothers; we merely multiply them. Hate, fear, ill-will, greed, ignorance, pride, racial and nationalistic bigotry—these are the real enemies of my country, and your country, and every country.— Dr. Harold Phillips. Remembered The Nurse Visitors to the house in the day- time made so much noise that the night nurse could not get sufficient rest to prepare for her work. One day she happened to mention this to the doctor, who wrote a large notice with the words: “Please re- member the night nurse,” and placed it on the hall table.
