TWELFTH INSTALMENT
. SYNOPSIS
With hie -partner,. Rosy Rand,
Dave plriler 116 on his way to his
eallek at Soledad. • BothMen are
returning f1'0111Prierea where,they
have sed sentences tor unjust
contletions. On the Val* which
is parrying a large ,stim of money,
itesy'S gala action anti, straight
shooting foils a holdup while
Da saves saves the _life of Martin
Quin, a gambler, who is being
threatned by a desperado. Stop-
ping at Single Shot, the, sheriff
tells Dave he is not wonted. Quinn
o defends Dave but Dave and Rand
g0 to SoIedad to meet Mary,
Dave's stater, and proceed on
horseback to the ranch. Mary re-
veals .she is married and tells
Dave that the ranch is doing poor-
ly, being beset by nesters and in-
volved in a„ claim dispute. Sud-
denly a shot from the darkness
topples Dave fromhis horse.
Rosy fires and kills the uhlmown
assailant and they rush to the
raneh to treat Dave's severe acalp...,
wound. Next morning, at break-
fast, Dave and „Rosy discover that
Mary is now cooking for the
ranch hands -a bad 'sign. After
discussing financial matters with
Mair Dave and Rosy saddle hors-
es nd leave' for Single Shot to
see the town banker,Mr: Pear-
son. Mortgage is renewed and
Dave decides to get enough m,ouey
to pay off mortgage by raising
alfalfa and selling it. Following
night the lake is blown up and
Dave inwardly accuses Hammond.
The latter blames Dave. A chance
meeting of the two gives them
an opportunity to clear- away this
false impression. The haat now
turns to Crowell; the mysterious
man of means and ambitions.
Rosy rushes. to Winter's home to
tell Mary of 'his suspicions about
her 'husband and asks her help
to prove his findings.
Their ride was checked only once
and that was when they had reached
a pass that looked as if it would take
them across the mountains to the
east slope. The pass was narrow,
guarded by two natural ramparts of
rock.
As they were about to enter it, a
voice bailed them.
"Don't come no further."
"Shet up, Cassidy," Lew called out.
"Where's, the red -head?" Cassidy
asked.
"Fat's after him," Lew growled.
It was dark volien they reached the
ranch buildings. Dave could see
nothing but several lighted windows
In a building tucked in the folds of
jagged rocky hills.
The door was immediately opened
and Lew called for. a lantern. A
sandy -haired cowpuncher came out
with it and Dave •recognized tem as
the man who had stuck up Quinn on
the train.
"Well, 'Turner, how's the hero
now?" He sneered. Ilis face slid
into sullen ugliness. "Let's get that
.hombre off. I'm goin' to see how
far my fist will no &tern his throat."
"I reckon you won't" a voice drawl-
ed from the door. The man who had
spoken was lounging against the door.
He was so big and tall that his head
almost touched the top of the .door.
His light 'hair was closely cropped.
His features were even and his lazy
smile was as winning as a woman's.
Was this the Sayres that Fat had
mentioned?"
Chinch whirled to glare at the
speaker. "What's the difference, Say -
res?"
"Cut it," Sayres snapped. "Step in,
Turner."
Dave went in.. The inside of the
shack showed . double -decked wall
bunks surrounding a large table on
which bottles, cards and glasses
were scattered.
"Sit down," Sam'ssaid politely.
Dave sat, wondering what was in
store for him.
his shirt ' pocket, unfold it, and lay
It on the table.
"That% a deed to your half of the
Par T," Sayres said. evenly,
"You're here to sign' it."
"Maybe," Dave said,.
Sayres lauehed easily. "You take
a lot of Spookin', don't your' Over
hie shoulder he said: "Take off your
grins, boyse and' untie him."
Dave watched them take Off their
guns, after which they gathered
around him and watelled. Lew untie
tbe knots.
"Turner," Sayres began, "you're
goin' to.4.gp. your ranch over to a
man named Crowell, shalt we say?
I'nigivin' you one chalice. Fm askin'
you to sign without bein! forced to.
Win you?"
"No," Dave answered promptly. .
"That's too bad," Sayres said
softly. "Maybe, I didn't make my-
self plain enough. We want the
ranch. You sign your half away and
the paper is produced `IP your sister.
When she sees thatyou have signed
we earieen her to sign her half away.
We're giving her quite a reasonable
SUM, Turner. Much more than the
ranch is worth to you and her.
Wouldn't it be better if you signed
and ace forced me to . . ." he left
the finish dangling.
"Get that hammer, Lew," Sayres
said. Lew got a heavy hammer from
one of the bunks.
"Now spread this left hand out,
palm down, on the table," Sayres
ordered.
Sayres drew a ten -penny spike
from his shirt pocket and looked at
Dave.
. "Observe this Turner," Sayres
said. "You see, I mean What I say."
Placing the spike point on the back'
of Dave's hand just below the third
finger, he drove the nail through
the flesh and into the table.
"Now get the aXe," Sayres said.
Lew, 'v,,Lite-faced, disappeared out-
side and, cantle back with ,an axe.
"I might as well tell you the rest,
Turner," Sayres said. "I'm going to
cut your fingersoff, one by one. Are
you such a fool, Turner, that you
think your sister can't be killed? If
we wouldn't stop at torturing, do you
think we'd stop at killing her?"
Dave's face was parchment -colored
now, partly from the pain which he
could endure, but mostly from what
Sayres had juat told -him. He knew
now that Sayres was not bluffing and
that the could and would kill Mary
and Winters after be had tortured
him to death.
"I'll sign," Dave said weakly.
"Good," Say -me .said jovially. He
took a pen from .a shelf near by
along with a bottle of ink. Dave
signed his nanle.
"I reckon there's not much to say
to a coyote like you, Sayres," Dave
said, gals voice trembling with a sup-
pressed rage. "Except this: If I live
Meg enough, kill you like I
eould a rattlesnake."..
Chinch stepped forward. "What a-
bout that promise?"
P. ayres „shrugged. "Go.. ahead."
Chinch stepped up to Dave, who
was still seated, planted his feet
firmly and drew back his band.
Dave lunged out of his chair and
drove his bleeding fist into Chinch's
face, sending him sprawling across
the room and! into a bunk v. -here he
lay inert.
Sayres laughed. Lunging off the
table, he walked over to the bunk
and slapped Chinch's face until the
unconscious man groaned and sat
erect.
"Still feel like curlin' your tail,
Chinch?" Sayres, asked.
Chinch glared at him.
"Now get saddled and hightail
it," Sayres ordered. "Crowell's wait-
ing. Get goin'." Chinch Slunk out,
and Sayres turned to Lew. "Take
him out in the back room and put
those leg irons on him."
Dave was Prodded into a one -room
addition at the rear of the shack
'which served aa a storeroom of sorts.
He was handcuffed, seated on the
floor facing the log wail and this feet
were manacled with a logging chain
"Well, Turner, ',how's the hero now?"
"Like a 'Smoke?" he asked Dave.
"I would,"- Dave answered., •
, Sayres lit a cigarette an put it 111
Date's mouth. They sat 'quietly. Dave
with tense muscles, until the three
other men came in.
' Sayres turned to Chinch. "Saddle
up. You got V) take the paper to
Crowell."
Chinch glared at, Sayres, eta
laughed softly. "If you're a good
boy, Chinch, and don't sulk, I might
give you a poke at him?'
"ntronderill' wbat we're talking
about; Turner?" Sayres said.
'Dave shrugged .carelessly an d
watched Sii,yreaalis a paper front
to the deep log of the addition. When
they were finished, Sayres, came In,
to look over the job and after grunt-
ing his approval left with the other
two. Lew slammed the door shut af-
ter him, but it swung open a couple
of inohes so that Dave could see
them MOV111g In front of the meek
occasionally, and a dire shaft of light
filtered into the room,
• "Get something to eat," Sayres, or-
dered.
Dave could! hear the rattle of a fry,
pan. His hand throbbed 'achingly
with the pumping of his heart add
hio fingere Were stiff and Minh. Ly -
Ing on his back and staring at the
ceiling he tried to read Some sense

MY?
Lew's rodeo breke into his reverie.
"Men% the 'gat be here?"
"Not very long now. We got to
get him out of the way." Sayres
said.
Dave fought down a cold wave of
terror and fear. A ,girl! That would
be Mary. They were going to get
her, bringiher up here, and they
were on their way now. More than
that, they were going to shoot him
like a coyote. And what would they
do to Mary when, he was gone?
-Sayreae..volce, a little clogged with
food, comae to him again.
"When you jaspers get back from
this next job, you'll find the girl here.
And it one of you mention Crowell's
name in front of her, you enight just
aswell give yourself up to the sher-
iff,' because you'll be a dead man. Get
that? She's got to be here without
ever hearing the name of Crowell."
Laredo set his glass down and ey-
ed the bandage on the head of the
bartender.
"Where'd you git that?" he asked.
The bartender eyed him sourly.
"I'm te,11iif you for the last time, I
think you give it to me last night."
Laredo's gaze, a little befuddled!,
swept up to the mirror and what
he saw made him blink. He turned
slowly.
Rosy was standing by the swinging
dome. He looked around the saloon,
saw Laredo and came over.
"Oh, Lord! "Again," the' bartender
moaned.
"Hello, Red. Have a drink," Larn
do offered.
"You sober?" Rosy,asked.
"Some."
"Where's the sheriff? I can't find
him."
"Asleep, likely. What's the trou-
ble?"
"Then you'll have to de it," Rosy
said. "First thing, do you mind get -
'tin' ha a scrap?"
Laredo grinned. "I never turned
one down yet."
"All right. Second thing. Can
you tell me bow I get to Sayres' hang
out?"
Laredo gave him detailed directions
and warned him of look -outs.
"All right. Third thing," Rosy said.
"There's a hombre here in town by
the name of Crowell. Hank Lowe is
lookin' for 'him," Rosy said. "He's
connected with the dynamitin'. Now
get this careful. Crowell will be
here at the hotel registered. I want
you to trielt a Serap with" bira and
fix it up with Hank so that Crowell
is arrested and locked in jail. Got
that?"
"Sure."
"Now there's what you • got to re-
member, and to tell Hank. Crowell
has got to be backed' up, but he's
connected with the dynamitin'!
Hank has get to leek him up on a.
phony charge and hold him till I get,
back."
"All right," Laredo said soberly,
"but you better write Hank a note
explainin' that."
Rosy described Crowell quickly.
"Hang around the clerk in the !hotel
and have him point Crowell out to
you. And have Hank hold him till
I get back."
Rosy started for the door, stop-
ped in midstride, and hesitated a mo-
ment. Thenhe returned; to the bar,
picked up the pencil and wrote an-
other note.
It read:
Quinn: Mary Winters is in
town, and so is Winters. Keep
an eye on him.
RAND.
He handed it to Laredo. "And give
this to Quinn over at the Free
Throw."
When Rosy left Mary at the Mile
Higfle, she wanted to ask him a
thousand questions, but hie frown
stopped her. She didn't even know
why he was in such a hurry.
After asking at a store where Ham-
mond lived, she mounted and rode
down the street. The house was at
the edge of town and she found it
easily.
Mary dismounted at the gate and
walked slowly to the door. It was
open a few inches. Her knock was
unanswered.
"There must be some one here,"
she thought and swung Me door open
further.
A table lay squarely in front of
the door, a white rectangle of en-
velope shining on its dark surface.
She looked at the envelope lying
there as if intended for her. On
it was written in bold !otters: To
you. -era

With sufficient rainfall growing con-

development of the apple crop and
fruit is sizing particularly well.
Where spraying was done thoroughly
scab and ineect pests are being kept
in check, with the exception of the
codling worm moth which will cause

Fall and. early varieties are taking on
considerable color, and are up to nor-
mal, in this respect.
Pears are developing well with size

Gees to Archbishop
In early times the ground belong -
to the Abbey of Westminster, and in
the reign of Henry III it was granted
to Hubert de Burgh, Chief Justiciar of
elnoland. Hubert de Burgfh gave his
"place at Westminster" to the Black
Friars in Holborn; and the Friars
soldit to the Atelibiehop of York, and
for three centuries it was the resi-
dence of the Arehbisthops.
When in due course it became the
residence of Cardinal Wolsey, York
Lawrence Was an Arch-
aeologist in Arabia
In 1913 the ruins were visited by
an Army Officer, a Major Young (who
is now Major Sir Hubert Young, K.C.
M.G., D.S.O., Governor of Northern
Rhodesia).
He was surprised to find any one
in the ruins, because they were "clos-
ed" for the summer, but he found "a
quiet little man of the name of Lawr-
ence . . . living there alone."
Lawrence showed Major Young and
his friend' over the mound, and they
became so deeply interested in all he
told them that they forget their train
-the only one due back that day.
Lawrence offered to put them up for
the night, and actually, while the
friend moved off the next morning,
Major Young stayed several days with
•
!him.
MesJs were served in, plates and
bowls which had been buried in the
earth for centuries, and when the cof-
fee was served, Major Young found
to his surprise and .delight that he
was drinking out of cups which the
Hittites bad used nearly four thou-
sand years ago.
Once or twice the Major went on
visits with Lawrence to neighboring
villages, and he noticed immediately
how much his friend seemed to be at
home amongst the natives. They wel-
comed him and he sat with them and
talked with them so easily and na-
turally that its was difficult to think
of him as an Englishman at all. He
seemed to belong to the place . .
Villagers in those remote hills and
valleys were beginning to whisper, in
wiender, of this quiet, blue-eyed "infi-
del," who wandered amongst them so
fearlessly, and who, in turn for his
tales of that far-off land of his, would
listen to the tittle-tattle of their lives.
These people had no newspapers,
no books. Very few of them could
either read or write. The story -teller
of the East was really a living news-
paper. He carried news.from village
to village and town to town.
It was to these and similar tales
that Lawrence listened, itu times when
in the afternoon heat, voices. murmur-
ing like bees would drone on in their
talk of things gone, things present,
and things to cote. At other times,
before an openfire, and underneath a
curtain made by a star-spangled sky,
like.
He
would try to tell these new-found
friends of his
He would tell them of the great
ships that travelled the seas, and of
a place called "Lundra."
If Lawrence was to be believed, the
people in "Lundra" lived above the
ground, on the ground and below the
ground. They knew of the iron road
ferther west, and of th,e steel mon-
sters that ran on it, dragging wooden
carriages behind them, but this'
"Inglisi" spoke of iron roads like this
r'unning down into the bowels of the
earth. where men had to come up
many stens before they could again
see the sun.
"There are wheeled houses," he
would tell them, "which carry poeple
inside and on the roof, running along
the roads."
"Merciful Allah!" they would whis-
per, wonderingly.
"And streets so long that you can
not see the end of them!"
At this a hum of astonishment
would rise from the ring of listeners."
Such was the life of Lawrence in
those early days.When he 'wee not
engaged on the "diggings," he was
generally tramping up and down the
countryside, learning a little more
each time of this land whose very
age was mystery itself.
Sometimes he would follow a twist-
ing, narrow track in a.nd out of a
rocky valley, up a path woen so deep-
ly that it must have been used for
hundred's of years, to find', perohed
high up on the, hillside, an. old Ro-
wan keep, or th,e bare walls of a once
,great C-euseder's castle.
He viould walk side by side with
camel herders across far stretches of
desert, or Mike one of a passing cars,

ers and afterward as lone of the

others give the credit to John Webb,
his relative and as,sistant, designed a
vast new palace -the old one had fal-
len into* a dilapidated condition -
which if completed would have been
the most royal palace in Europe, with
a river from fore than 1,100 feet long.
But the present banqueting hill was
the only part built from thie great de-
sign, for King Charles I, beset by pov-
erty and the civil .war, could not go

was indifferent.

AVY.,
Whence James II Fled
It was from Whitehall Palace that
King James, II fled across the Thames.
In the Banqueting Hall William and
Mary were offered the Crown of Eng-
land and accepted. it. Then, after a
tVeriod of neglect, in 1697 Whitehall
Palace went up in flames. A careless
Dutch laundress had left linen to dry
by the fire, and although most of
the valuable contents and the Govern-
ment records were saved, some of
Holbein's pictures., being painted on
the walls, were lost.
The land was not to lie idle, and
the site was given over to the fine
mansions, built and rebuilt in the
Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries,
now being demolished.
Sir Robert Peel lived in No. 4 and
there, at one of his dinner parties,
Disraeli made his first acquaintance
with Whitehall Gardens.
Even after Disraeli, his house, No.
2, which is to disappear, was to be
associated with Prime Ministers, for
there the Ministry of Defence was es-
tablished and Mr. Lloyd" George in-
stalled) his War Cabinet.
Pembroke House is to go, but the
panelled decorated rooms of the mid -
eighteenth century ,and Regency per-
iod, the sculptured marble mantel-
pieces, the iron balustrades, and the
melded ceilings, will be incorporated
in the new buildings on the site.
Birds of Passage
To see a flock of wild geese in
flight, undistres,sed by weather or by
distance, is one of the most familial.-
ing of sights. As.'!one writer bats de-
fined it, "Here is the symbol that in-
spire§ the imagination of even the cas-
ual observer, as it has the poets who
have written of flying wild fowl,
throughout the ages."
The west coast of Lake Michigan
Is chartered as being on one of the
principal routes for lJhigrating birds,
