One Saturday morn- ing about 111! o'clock I dropped my hammer from the top, and, faith, when, I went to work on Monday morning. the thing hit me on the !mead!" The conversation had changed from -,sine thing to another, !finishing up with high -buildings. The American thought be had them all beaten when he said there was a building in New York so high that it took a person at least twenty-four hours to get to the top.

Why didn't Muir conn? He yelled to hint. Thein he approached the dogs with a club. He struck Wild Boy, who snarled savagely at him, hut held to the panting 'Samson. He struck Sam- son, who tunned and snapped futilely at' him, Fear seized Gilly, and his ,mind ran quickly in its old way to ex- cuses. He could think of only one; if he wasn't tthere, the couldn't the blamed. He could be !downhill, • like Muir, getting wood. He took a step, a run, stopped. Muir would never run either from danger or from re- sponsibility. He started 'b,aok up the slope. The dogs had separated for a space and both seemed to be coming at him, Their frenzied smelling was hideous. Then they grapplled, At the same instant he heard a shout from above. Muir was skiing down, As IGiI'£y looked he saw him sky- rocket into some bushes. His ski had caught .and had thrown him. Muir lap there.,Gilly wondered whether he were badly hurt, but had uo time to think, for the dogs were now fighting quietly, :tenaciously, to the leath. If Samson was killed, how :dull he ever look Muir in the face. :Moreover, Muir had seen him stand- ing by. IGilly tanked frantically for e weapon. His eye fell on the fire. Hr quickly pulled a birch stick out, extinguished it in dos snow, and started toward them. It smoked, - He -held the smoking end under Wild Boy's muz- zle. The bloodshot eyes of the husky glared at the boy. He coughed, let go, snapped viciously at Gildy's hand. One rip of those teeth -would have torn his arm open from elbow to wrist. 'Gilly shuddered, but stood his ground and struck, knocking Wild Roy sideways. Sanson, blinded with blood and fury, sprang at 'Dilly. Gilly stepped aside, and fell on one knee in the deeper snow. Fortunately be clung to his club then he bit Samson and he heard his jawa',gn:ash. There u -aa a shrill whistle front behind, quirt It gave 'Gilly the needed en couragetnent to thrust his stick into Wild Boy's jaws. The husky -cough- ed again and backer! away. Samson was about to spring, and itis green cyee and shifting fangs struck 'Gilly almost .powerless; but the whistle sounded again, nearer, louder, and the dog, hearing his roaster, paused.

Samson turned and 'leaped toward him, Wild 'B'oy snarled and was for pursuing his enemy, but Gilly struck him fair and 'bowled him over into the deep snow. For an in- stant the husky was blinded; IGilly threw his empty knapsack over his head and pressed hint down into the yielding stuff. "That'll cool him," he said, panting. "Keep Sanson." "That's the nerviest thing I've ever .sten, said Muir. "I couldn't do anything—else," said G£ay, "Most fellows would have run, but you—" 'A twinge of pain twisted Muir's mouth. "Keep away—Sam- son "What's the matter?" "My game knee again. I put it out up there." . "1 couldn't do anything else," and Muir smiled. 'r'I'm afraid you'll have to do me one more service, Gi'lly, 'beside saving my dog." As Gilly listened to what he was expected to do he thought that he could not do it. Muir was to catch his toe under a root and draw his leg taut, and then he, Gil'ly, was to .snap the dislocated bone ,back into place. "ht's the ,only way, old maim." 'But it'll hurt—horribly." "All I ask is that you hurt me eaotvgh,'t and Muir tried to laugh. "Any 'halfway measure is worthless. The thought turned Gilly half sink "'f'1'1 do it." he said, "but not for a moment," and, letting Wild Boy of)' gradually, he plunged his own wrists naw the snow, It stopped lois trem- bling somewhat 'Now," he said calmly. When it was done there were tear: in Gilly's eyes, and Muir lay hack in the :snow, panting from his late agony, But Gilly had shown the manliness expected of !mint. '"I guess I'd better make up !that fire again," was all he said, In Muir's eyes shone a new appreciation of hini. Lee Stewart did not comae. They ate luncheon and planned. 'Gilly was to ski back to Skyline House and have the then there hitch up a horse to a toboggan for Muir. "I wish you'd take Wild Boy with you," Muir said. "I'm not un to your Rugby tactics if they start Ma the row again." "Sure; said Dilly, "and ,I'll have someone back before sunset. Iie.ep your nerve—"And then his jaw fell,' Imagine his saying that to Muir! But hie embarrassment did not last long. What was a little ,lip like that be- tween friends? And they were friends -=because he had kept his nerve,. Well, -he always would keep it. Sometimes it seems that the gods put out a foot to trip a fellow just. when he feels most confident, Gilly had sailed serenty on for half an hour when a partridge rose from time snow and whirred to a near -by cedar. Wild Boy was after it at once, tG£Ily re- membered the revolver. IIe would take the bird home as •a trophy—if he could only bit it. Wild B'oy was stalking the bird. Gilly must shoot Before the dog got too' close. A little branch was in the way, He turned to one side, and his ski slipped. 'Prob- ablv'he 'clutched the revolver hard enough to slip the safety catch; at any rate it went off, Wild Buy leap- ed into the air. 'The bird went whir- ring away. Wild Boy, curiously enough, lay, where he had Fallen. Gil- ly called to 'him, but he did not move, A fearful emptiness hit Gilly in the pit ,of the stomach. It was not possible that he had 'bit the dog. But he lay there. IA coldness swept over Gi'lly. His uncle's dogl On wobbly skis Gilly went to Wild Boy. Blood was seeping from t'he top of his head. The stray .bullet had evidently done for him. IGilly put his hands over' his eyes; he would never dare tell his Lhtcle. Lee what he had done, never dare see him again. Only the con- sciousness that he had to get help for Muir sent hint on toward Skyline House. It was a boy sick with hid- den news that met •Lee Stewart just starting up the trail. 'If the unetbe wondered why Gilly was so nervous, he put it down to the strain he had been under, He went at once to the stabile, and Gilly slunk' off to the house, utterly wretched, not .only :be- cause he must tell the fatal news but because he had already failed to tell it. Where was the brave person he had fhought he was? He sneaked bo lois groom and got into bed with all his clothes en, dragging the quilt over -mint to shut out that last dreadful pic- ture, tried --+and fell into a troubled ,leap, He 'dreamed indistinctly of a frow- ning uncle's dismissing him forever from Skyline 'House and woke with a leaden weight on his chest. He re- membered what it was—his-confes- sion. Laughter sounded from down - stales. It was dark out. He 'heard steps, a knock on the door."Master !Gillespie," a servant .said, "are you there? :Mr, 'Stewart says to tell yoga there's tea and cinnamon toast, and will you come down?' "Yes—,in a ,minute." More laeig+hter." "Strange that they could laugh," he said to himself. He got op. His s'leel) had ,refreshed him. After all he mast tell srnnetime; it night as weld be now. He braced himself and then shrank. He could nut confess. Then he thought - sof Muir. He must trll, for he was Muir's- friend and moist not ilisap- point him. Him went -downstairs. It took all his strearte to push open the door into the 'library. His uncle and Mule were by the fire, looking im- mensely happy over something,. - They gazed at the boy at if .they had just been. talking about him. "Pardon my not kneeling," said Muir with a laugh as Gilly entered, "'It's the formal way of greeting the conquering hero, too formal For friends, eh, Gilly?" No reply could .press back the bump in •Gilly's throat. One look had shown him that his mmc'le did not know the news. "1 -was too much occupied to com- pliment you, Gilly," said Lee Stewart, "Muir tells me that you have been the man - throughout today. He as well as yon ,and I will .always remem- ber today." This kindness and the weight on. his heart were too much for G£Ily, and to the astonishment of the men, he turned, sobbing and yet trying to repress the sobs that tore hint. 'That's the reaction," :saki Stewart to Muir, Who had risen and was hobbling toward - the boy. Fora mo - meat Stewart was nonplussed. "You'll be 011 right wean, Gilly. It's all over now, 'boy. 'Conte, keep your nerve," - "I'm keeping' it; that i.,, I'm going to keep ib" said Gilly wretchedly. 'Uncle Lee, I—.killed—Wild Bow." "What?" said Stewart in a startled voice. "What do you mean? "I—I shot \\'ild Boy. i was a- fraid -to tell you." "Just now?" asked Stewart, trying to control himself. "No, two --two hour, ago—up the trail." - - But Wild Boy jast came in vvith us, Dilly," "\''hat?" The stricken boy looked up as if the stun had suddenly shone at midnight. "He isn't dead?- But I saw him lying there dead." "And I saw him jumping around, very much alive." He stepped to the French window, raised it, whistled, am in a moment the bib -husky hounded in and went straight - to his toaster. Lee Stewart bent over hinm, "You're right," he exclaimed. "When. we washed Ilion we thought it w"as. another of Sammsoit'i wounds. The bullet just grazed time skull, 'I suppose, and stunned hitt. Oilly, Gilly this would have been a sad :Yew Fear's Day for ire." • it was Lee Stewart's -tarn to look moist about the eyes. "'l knew," said Dilly. "Instead, it's the happiest 'New Year's Day of our lives," added his uncle. There was a pause as 'Stewart col ieoted himself to break the real news to Gilly. Muir had reached 'hinm. "1.I let it took more nerve to tone down and tell what you't-s' joist told ns than it took to stop the dogs fighting or even to doctor this o11 oripple. I ad -i noire you, R;.illy, `'hake sou."

And Gilly took his hand gladly too, though he hadn't a notion what the man was talking about. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN (Continued from Page Three.) fer some of the unpopularity which. often comes to leaders who really at- tempt to lead. Already it is said that Anthony Eden takes his orders from Mr. Chamberlain, and that the new Prime Minister intends to be his owls Foreign Secretary in all but •name. It is said, too, that the new profits tax was Mr, Chamberlain's own inven- tion, devised 'without the help of his ecperts at the 'Treasury and sent to the House of Commons in time face of serious misgivings from the civil servants upon whom a Chancellor of the Fchequer usually relies. Neville Chamberlain, like his fath- er, is a man of strong convictions. From the latest budget episode and many others in M -r. Cham'berlain's career, it is obvious that Britain will have a aiiberal 'Prune Minister. He calls himself a true-blue Conservative and pretends to have no .patience with orcialient or even the liberalism of the old free -trade school. yet lie is a !per- fect example of the "'Tory Socialist" who measures the strength of his op- position and then anticipates it by wise and humane social legislation. Labor will have no real ;grievances under the new regime if Mr. Cham- berlain can have his way. - Moreover, .he 'helieves in democracy with all his heart and soul, anti he shares with Mr, Baldwin a sense of disgust at the repressions, the -sabre rattling and the strtrttin.g of Eurobie's dictatorships, whether Fascist or Cdoasmunist. In foreign°,policy he has already shown !leis belief that Germ- any is the overmastering problem for Chiropractor Electro Therapist — Massage Office — Commercial Hotel Hours—Mon. and Thurs. after nooas and by appointment .FOOT CORRECTION by manipulation—Sun-ray treat- ment Phone 207.

Britain tinder Neville Chamth'- erlain will do her utmost to keep out of trouble. and will keep her hands free of new conmmitmentt as long- as she can.
