After diecussing .financial matters with Mary Dave and Rosy saddle 'horse es and leave for Single Shot to deliver a corpse to the sheriff and see the town' beaker. Martin Quinn was at the box. He caught sight of Rosy, called to an- other gambler who was idling at a beer to take his place and came out from behind the table. "Howdy, Rend. How's things?" Quinn greeted him. "Let's have a drink." They picked a spot at the back end cf the bar. "Did I see a question breakin' out in your eyes whenyou looked at me? Quinn asked. "You did," Rosy said. Quinn listened:carefully while Rosy told him of the events which had brouget them in to Single Shot. "He gets off the train and some- body slams him?" he said softly to Dave. "Why?" • "Dunno, He's got a good ranch, but she'sspavined. Land mortgaged, -stock, buildin's poor. Other hand, Mod grass, plenty water and a big range. Now you tell me." Quinn shrugged. "Describe this bushwhacker again." "Sandy hair, cut with a drawknife about three years ago, I'd say; three weeks' beard; blue eyes; four inches shorter'n me; square face; raissin' a few teeth. He was wearin' waist ov- eralls, dirty blue flannel shirt, black vest. Black Stetson." "Any clay on his clotthes?" Quinn asked. Rosy looked at him keenly. "Now you mention it, there was. Net mluch though." "Look at the books out at the Draw Three then." Quinn said. "Draw Three?" Rosy asked, bis voice quiet, this eyes suddenly still - "Sure. They're working inolay out there. There's mem in here from a whole bunch' of mines. to the south and some to the east, and prospec- tors too, but you can fell a Draw Three man every time .if he hasn't changed work clothes. "Let -me know what you find out." Rosy strede out the door. When he walked into the sheriff's office the fat man was sitting in the same chair, bent over the same papers. "I got a tip on that bushwhacker," Rosy said, He had clay on his clothes, didn't he?" "Yes," the sheriff said. "The Draw Three is 'workire in clay, ain't they?" 'I was expectin' that," the sheriff said calmly.

I had .the payroll money for three mines coming M on that train. Of curse, they were insured, but then -it sayed a eery costly delay. I thiek there will be a reward for you, young man." Rosy started to protest, but Pear- son held up his hand. "I know. But insurance companies like to reward men just as much .for the prevention of the crime as for its cure." Turning to Dave again, he said: -Well, Davy. Things may brighten up." Pearson turned and left hem and before Rosy could speak, he sheriff ',vas beside him. "That bushwhacker likely come from the Draw Three," Rosy told Dave bluntly. - "Maybe," the sheriff said. Dave looked at Rosy. The sheriff saw the jaw muscles in Dave's face bulge a little. "The sheriff thought so enough to send a man out to ask," Rosy said, "So thy t cheapr---" Dave began., then clipped off his speech, turned on heel and strode to the door. "Where year goin'?" the sheriff ask- ed. "Git a horse if you're eomin',"Roey told him. The sheriff had a horse at the lifethrack and they mounted and headed act for the Draw Three. As they were in sight of the mine, a rider seeing into the road and headed for them. He reined up, and tbe sheriff spoke. "Well ?" "Name of Freeman. Fired three weeks ago. Hammond could tell by that scar you found under his chin." Dave looked • at Rosy and they both - looked atthe sheriff, who was sucking hi P teeth. compladently. The sheriff tureed, to the deputy. "You go .back to the office," he told the man. Silently, they rode up to the main building. The sheriff unloosed his guns, and took the lead, Dave and Rosy following. The door was open and the eheriff strocle into the office without knock- ing. it was a long affair, with a wide desk at the far end, at which Hammond was seated, bent over a ledger. He looked- up at their en- trance arid rose. The mining man. was tall and griz- zled, with kindly blue eyes. He had a mane of almost white hair, and a full mustache to match it. He shook hands with; the sheriff. "These gents have got some ques- tions to ask," the sheriff said, and thereupon. introduced them. They shook hands, the older man warmly, the two younger perfunctor- ily and without speech. Hammond bid them be se.ated, but Dave stood up. "You don't know me, Hammond, I reckon," he began. "Leastways, you didn't seem to recognize the name. I'm Dave Turner, D Bar T," "Some whippoorwill took a crack at me with a greener last night," Dave saki slowly. "Rand killed him.

Ile lunged at Dave's throat has Dave leaped to meet him, his face contorted' with fury. As soon as the sheriff saw, that Rosy was trying to part them, he holster- ed his guns and stepped in. It was. a full minute before Dave and Ham - Mond were separated, the sheriff pushing his 'grunting • bulk against Hammond and forcing him against the desk. Rosy held Dave's arans: Hammontds eyes were murderous. dTurner, I'll kill you like a damned coyote the next time I see you." "If I don't hunt you down first, Hammond," Dave raepedt, his voice hoarse with fury. Hammond lunged, only to be, held by the sheriff. Dave struggled with Rosy. . "Get him, out!" the sheriff ordered. They left the trail at the notoh an hour after neon, heading more west than the trail would have taken them. Rosy had not spoken since they mounted at the Draw Three. Dave had ridden off his an -ger, "I reckon I lost my temper," he said. "Plumb," Rosy said briefly. "I fig- gered you'd be sorry if you done any- thing to the old man. After all, we didn't have no proof." "It took m -e a long time to see that," Dave said slowly. "We haven't proof that he paid the man. All we can do is guess. He didn't take to the idea muck, dial he?" 'He took to it so clanged little that I'm wonderin' if we ain't shoutin' down the wrong barrel."

"Well, Harmon, or Finnegan could have picked it up around Ted or Mary and then went to town and got a couple of drinks under their belts and spilled it." "They could.," Rosy admitted. "So maybe it wasn't Hammond at all. May- be it was some one that wanted it to look like Hammond done it. Say, them nesters." 'I'm hopin' it isn't them," Dave Mid seriously. "I'm hopin those nesters are rea- sonable people." "Here's the scheme. I thought of it last night, but didna say anything until I'd seen Pearson.

Geological researches seem millet - ant. to give full weight to the imper- ceptibly slow creeping movements of soil and rock, but according to C. F. Sharpe of the U. S. Soil Oonserva- don Service, author of the study, these slow movements are the fore- runners of events that suddenly in- crease to mammoth proportions, Last summer, for instance, Idaho fanmers watched their rich fields lit- erally drop from under them to form visibly "sinking veil -eye" Muffled rumblings and billowing dust clouds accompanied the phenomen,on.

Bermuda, likes to have agreeable Americans boy hoases on the Island, but the amount of land w.leica may be foreign owned is limited -by law, ,and any purchase by a foreigner is subject to veto by the Governor. It permits visitors to be as wild or as demure as thee please; they may go to bed each night at nine, or spend their entire stay wandering from bar to bar in tate hilarity (if"they- dia ace miliehifiene selves too obnoxious to the neighbors, And so completely does it absorb its visitors that although there are al- ways hundredssof them on tee Island, except in the streets et Hamilton one is hardly aware of their presence. In Bermuda the pace of things :s relaxed and uneunctual. It is not simply because Bermudians like old- fashioned ways that automobiles are prohibited; Bermuda is boo small for automobiles. If one could rush the whole length of the Island 1 half an hour, everything would be too close at hand, too crowded, too familiar. A slow pace adds to one's sense of dis- tance. So definitely does Bermuda seem o linger in the leth century that when one has driven to dinner in.a surrey (with a fringed canopy over - 03s Al).334m$I •' , atataielmete4ettleg *vow ieeM: 4,440 Barmt140s • C4PARit 04.00,14t •' 14,P1 efe/e/Yta_ Sce •eladmee 'flightt1retle .11e, measured in cubic miles rather than yards, from the Alps, India and Per- sia.

A similar expease is borne by railroads and by power, telegraph, telephone, gee and water supply com- panies,.

Mr. Sharpe's rep -ort is a result of an intensive program for the applica- tion and teaching of 'soi.1-conservation measures inaugurated by the Govern- ment His work considers as well the effects of gullying upon valuable lands, sheetwas-h and Wind erosion upon topsoil, and mass rocivements 111 both linear and sheet erosion. "Madflows chara.cteristic of semi- arid and arid regions are destructive of land at both source and'terminus,", he adds. They result int many cases from overgrazing and hence challenge proper conservation technique. "Whatever can be done to save the soil on slipping hil•Isides, still problem," he concludes.. "It is obvi- ous that. water conservation by ter- racing would be the wrong approach, because if ground saturation is pro- moted the farm is likely to lose not only the topsoil, but much deeper messes as well."

In such a system the political and economic power tete tended to remain in the hands of a somewhat Intuited class, Bermuda's ruling families. You might hardly recognize them as rue Ing families, to be sure, for members of some of them work as clerks in the shops,. But that is due te the peculiar economic arraegements of the Island. Since there ,is no manufac- turing, and bhe farming has fallen mostly into the hands, of the indus- trious Portuguese, there are few jobs available for the well-born except 'it retail trade. The reason, why the man who takes. your order at Gos- ling's liquor store and the man who fits you at The English- Sports Shoe. appear such gentlemen is that they are gentlemen. Bermuda -is indeed an object lesson in how to be conservative gracefully, aalt'tbe more pertinent if one remem- bers that Bermuda might almost be considered a fragment of the Ameri- can South which did not revolt from the King in 1776 and went through no Civil War in 1861. Bermuda was set- tled by the same people who settled Virginia. A ship full of Englishmen on their • way to Jamestown in 1609 was wrecked on the Island. They spent the vvinter there,, and gave such a good report of the place that perm- anent occunation, followed sbortly. The descendants of these early set- tlers are s•till found among Bermuda's ruling families. This is hardly a democratic com- munity, but it is e-ssentially a simple community. The Governer, as the lo -'cal representative of the Crown, is surrounded, it is true, with coneider- able of the pomp ,of royalty; when he leaves a cricket match or other public function the band plays "God Save the King" and everybody . rises and hats come off. But there is no swank among the Bermudian elect. That gaunt elderly gentleman bieyclive along Queen St. in the thick of traffic 'is one of the two or three leading citizens, knight- ed for his public serviees. A former President of the Bank of Berm a, having become inordinately in erest- ed in horticulture and having .discov- ered that discarded' kerosene tins made fine flower pots, once engaged a colored boy to belp him scavenge for the tin's in the household garbage cans of Hamilton in the early morns ing. One day the colored boy said he would have to give up the job. "My mother," .said he, "says she don't want m•O pokin' in people's garbages." "You tell your mother," replied the financier, "that if the President of the Bank of Bermuda can poke m people's garbages, you can." More significant than the simplic- ity of the ruling Bermudians is their sense of civic responsibilley. I once attended a by-election in Smith's Par - and what struck me most, as an' m Aerican, was that all but five or six of the 90 -odd registered voters cast their votes, and most of the missing regietrants were accounted for by ill- ness or absence from the Island. At a tennis party you will hear a group of people discussing a coming ceremony -he inauguration of a new school or the unveiling of a monu- ment -and you will find that most of thteai expect to attend it, as a matter of course. And when you beer po- litical arguments, you will realize that these people regard thie governmt en as theirs -as an agency for which they are responsible, not as an agency which they hope to manipulate or circuravent Particularly' in eaneling of the color problem does ehis ruling class show how te be conservative grace- fully. Th,e colored people of Bermu- de-descendents of the former slaves and immigrants from the West Indies -otanuniber the whites, about 17,000 to 13,000. Although the two racee• do not mingle socially, there are ne in- sulting Jim Crow arrangements on the railroad or ferries.; and although the property basis for voting reduees the Negro vote more itarply than the White Vote, the gegraes have a majority of electors in. Mere than .ene parish and there are sederal Negro members of Parliament. Mere signifi- cant still, ,there has never been a lynching. • .

After all, the incred- ible thing is that men and tvetnee, eati live all theirlives in; 'stitch a gentle • paradise and keep the ruggedness which underlies their charm. 11 Diplomas To Be Awarded Agricultural societies are now in id position to honor the unsung heroes of agriculture; the men Who have un- selfishly given of their valuable time and talent to further worthwhile agri- cultural projects in their community without thought of reward save in work well done for the benefit of all. The Ontario Alcsociation of Agri- cultural Societies believing it is high, time the work of these men should be recognized in tangible form has an- nounced throtrigh Secretary J. A. Car- roll, Toronto, .that each Agricultural Society may recommend one person per year to the District Director for an Agricultural Service Diploma. The Director will ,conduct any investiga- tion deemed necessary and if satis- fied will forward tbe recommendation to the Secretary of the Ontario As- sociation who will fill in the names of the recipient and the society making the award and also...place tbe stamp of eke Orutario Association on the gold seal of, the diploma.. It will then, be sent back to the individual Society for presentation on some formal oc- casion. gle The award may go ielnyorpe in the community and, need not be con - fired to a member of an agricultural society, Mr. Carroll states.
