'They entered a broad, low - celled room, a huge fireplace at one end. Rosy did not see .the man seat- ed in a Chair before the fire as he laid Dave on a davenport. ' "Well, Mayry," the man drawled. Rosy looked up. The ,speaker was young, perhaps thirty, with a ..dark, coolly appraising face. He was dress- ed in whipcord' breeches and shiny boots, slouched comfortably on his backbone in the easy chair. "Oh, Ted," Mary Mid, ee little catch of fear in fuer voice. "Some one shot Dave-!" She looked at Rosy -and flushed a little. "Excuse me. Mr. Rand, by husband, Ted Winters.". Winters nodded lazily. "Welcome Rand." "Howdy," Rosy said. He looked curiously at Mary. "I wanted to surprise Dave," she said flashing a little deeper. "What happened?" Winters drawl- ed: He lounged out of his chair and, came over .beside Rosy, looking down' at the unconscious figure on the dav- enport. Mary left for ,,the kitchen. "Some whippoorwill' on the dry - gulch," Rosy said. "This side of the bridge." "The devil!" Winters "Who?„ "I duan. He's out there on a horse now. Take a look at him aed see if you know him." "You • mean you got .him?" "Dead," Rosy said dryly. Mary returned with the basic con- taining warm water and a mild disin- fectant. She kneeled by Dave and bathed the wound, her face white. "Ted, it was awful," she said ih a low voice. The disinfectant was biting into the raw flesh of Dave's wound and he groaned and writhed under the pain: His eyelids fluttered, then opened. "What happened? Somebody shot at me." "Sone whippoorwill up in the rocks tried to blow your head off," Rosy said grinning. Dave nodded weakly and. shifted his eyes to Winters. "You tl-•e dos?" Dave asked him. "No, Dave. This is Ted Winters, my husband," Mary said. "I wanted to keep it a secret and surprise you." "Well, sis, this is a surprise." Dave stretched his arm out to Wasters and they.: shook hands. Dave smiling weakly. "You got the best girl I ev- er knew, Winters." "I know tt," Winters replied. He put lis arm a:ound Mary's shoulder and she hugged him tightly. "How do, you feel?" Mary asked. "Good. I'll be up tomorrow. What was this all about?" He's out there deade-on. Winters said.. "Who was he?" "I'm going out and take a look," Winters said. "I'll put up your hors- es while I'm at it." He left by the front door and Mary and Dave look- ed at each other. -- "You little devil!" Dave said. "I didn't avant it all to come at once," Mary replied, laughing shyly. "Can you walk to bed? We can talk it over in the morning." Dave nodded. Leaning on Roast's shoulder, he 'walked with dragging footsteps down the middle corridor of the -one -storey house. Mary opened a doer, to a bedroom, containing a broad white bed in one corner, a cot in the opposite corner, and a simple, unpainted chest of drawers. "Mr. Rand, you have the room next doon-or you can sleep here on the cot. We're just across the hall. Mary bade them both good night, and left the room. Rosy scat on the cot, drew a Dur- ham sack from his pocket and rolled a cigarette slowly then looked up at Dave.' "I'm hittin' the grit tomorrow, pard- ner," he announced calmly. Dave stif- led the surprise in his eyes. "What's the matter?" he asked pres- ently. "Is it what Mary said about our bein' broke?" Rosy's eyes dropped evasively. "It ain't that. I reckon I ain't ready to settle down yet. I want to wear out "We have no money, Dave. The two men we've got left haven't been pair regularly in a year." A sudden huskiness caught her throat. "Never miner Dave said quietly. "We've got the land and the water and the grass. Hanks loan money, so we'll have cattle." . "The bank has loaned . money; Dave," Mary said. • "They won't loan us any more. A good slice of the paper is due in a few days, too." Her voice was suddenly bitter. "That's another present for you, Dave, from a ln'ing sister." "Stop it, Mary," Dave said softly. "I hate to hear yon bitter like ,that." They fell into single file now as tho road narrowed between two can- yons and slanted steeply up hill. He remembered the place. These were the small badlands that announced the deep gently sloping plateau -the Soiedad Bench -on which the D Bar T, his spread, was located. He recognized each landmark. Mary was ahead- ':of him and he spoke to her softly. "Don't worry. sis. The black days haven't come to the Turners yet. Not for -" A spouting mushroom of fire wink- ed from the high rim -rock and Dave felt a searing 'slap on the top of his bead that swept him off his horse in' to falling unconsciousness. Rosy's. gun streaked up in coughing savage Iances of flame. Mary was kneeling by Dave as Rosy fought his horse quiet and leap- ed off. Rosy struck a match. In its light they could see'a raw smear of red on the' top of Dave's head, the blood oozing out from under the thick, black hair. Rosy put his ear to Dave's chest. "Pum,pin' like a locomotive," he an- nounced cheerfully.. Mary was sobbing softly. "It's all right, Miss Mary." Rosy gulped. "If they killed him I reck- on I'd just go hog wild." Mary nodded.

I'm going to take a pasear. Heil come to pretty quick." Rosy scrambled up bhe steep can- yon wall. On the rim he saw a sprawled, prone figure, nesting face downward on the stock of a shotgun.

"Part of 'that'a teak!' Dave 'said. "But give , us a chance. We- still got everything' weever had and one day we'll have her where she was. We planned this thing out together and then you run out on me. All right, I can run out on Mary." "You jughead, you .will not," Rosy growled. He crossed to Dave's bed and gently shoved biin1•back into a lying position. "Stick vp y'd'ur foot and I'll pall them boots off." Dave and Rosy were up 'before rein - rise the next morning. Save for his paleness, Dave seemed' none the worse for the event;of the night be- fore: After buildina fire in the big kitchen range, he and Rosy strolled out to look the p•Iace over. The house was .. as it had always been and always ,would be, so long as, any one was living in •it. It was a stone affair with a low, sloping, slate roof. The buildings were different. The board cook -whack was empty, its win- dows gray and filled with cobwebs: The adobe binikhouse, bricks showing in places where the mud plaster had cracked off, lay between the cook - shack and corrals. The barn itself seemed falling to pieces, its ddor sagging, wisps of hay sticking out the Weathered cracks. The corrals were awry, some of their bars down. They looked at the, horses,, perhaps a dozen in all. They were fat, but vacated. for and shaggy. "Which horse was Little to -Peep rii!in'?" Dave asked. That black with a white' stockin'." Daye looked for the brand. •"Naked as. a baby," he announced. "That don't help." At that moment, Mary called them. She l -ad breakfast nearly ready. Dave looked at the round table in the kit- chen '!rd noticed five places. "Who's comin' for breakfast, sis?" he asked. "No one," Mary said brightly. "Those are for the hands." Dave was silent a moment. cookin' for the hands?" Both were well aware of that tra- dition that dictated that the rancher's wife did not wait on, cook for, or serve the ranch bands. "Of course," Mary said haven't had a cook for Dave." "Can I do anything?" uncomfortably. Mary laughed. "You can, Mr. Rand. I haven't 'much wood and there's none split. Would you mind splitting enough to get through breakfast on?" "Not Mr. Rand to you, ma'am," Rosy said- "I ain't. ever been called anything but Rosy all my life." "All right, Rosy. Then I'm Mary to you, and not ma'am. The wood is out at the end of the cook -shack." Rosy dodged out the door and Mary and Dave were alone. Dave's face was clouded. Mary looked up at him. "Rotten homecoming, isn't it?" sthe said. Dave nodded: "Seeing a ranch in this shape almost makes me want to howl. You must have a couple of prime knotheads for !hands, sis." "It's Ted, Dave. He's been running the place for two years now, ever since old Link died. -But 'he's a min- ing man, Dave, not a rancher. He's pulled us through the best he knows how, and I guess he'd be the .first to admit that the hasn't done a good 'job." . "Where is he this' mornin'? Around the place?" Mary was still bending over the range. "He's in bed," she said quiet- ly. "He's a city man and thinks we are barbarians to get up with the sun." a horse," A spurt of fire toppled have from his horse. "You ('G.cialdensed troia Iii in Iteatier''s , .Digest) lightly. "We three years, Rosy asked The occupation- of Nanking, try •tom Japanese army resulted'in the great- est authenticated massacre in modern history. Twenty thousand men, wo- men .and children were done to death. For four weeks the streets of Nan- king were splotched with blood. - The full story of this mass murder was- suppressed by the Japanese mili- tary. All communications with the outside world were cut. Newsmen, Pounds, it useless to remain, and the Japanese were -delighted °to assist their departure. Missionaries looked to the future and wisely remained sil- ent. There had been warnings by Japan to evacuate, of course, and most for- eigners did:' We who remained - 18 Americans and a handful of others -were fully aware of what might be in store for us. But our job was here among the Chinese with .whom we had worked ,in. times of peace. By wireless and messenger service we arranged with both Japanese and Chinese military comardnders to re- spect an International Zone for re. fngees. e- fngees. The area included' American - maintained Ginling College and Nan- king University. Here we stored rice and flour, and were assigned 450 Chin - ere policemlen to maintain order. During the siege there had been a minimum of hysteria and a complete absence of looting or damage to either foreign or native property. The Chin- ese soldiers paid for what they ,got and respected the rights of civilians. When, on December 12th, the de- fending force of Chinese took flight,• panic followed. A wide avenue lead- ing toward a city gate and opening on the Yangtze River was packed for three miles with soldiers, refugees and military equipment. An ammuni- tion truck caught fire and exploded; then rickshas, automobiles and carts started going up in flames. The mo- mentum of the mob pushed hundreds into the roaring blaze. Japanese planes, sweeping low, mowed down refugees and soldiers alike with wide- open machine, guns. For the weak and the aged there was no escape. Next day I climbed over mountains of dead to see smoking ruins along that formerly impressive avenue. Charred• bodies were everywhere, in places piled six and eight deep. So ended the peaceful, well -ordered regime China had beeds'enjoying in Nanking. We were naive enough to believe the Japanese handbills: "Re- main„ in your homes," their said. "Your neighbors from Japan want to help you restore peace." Instead, for the defenseless -Chinese residents, it was the beginning of four weeks of hell- ish beastliness. As the Japanese were pouring into the city, we met them and explained the International Zone agreement to them, and promises were secured that Chinese soldiers who turned their guns over to us would be spared. Quickly the news spread through the city, and soon all of us were ha"d at work disarming. Cainese men and boys who sought our protection. Some Yielded their arms only after elabor- ate promises on our part. How we were to regret those assurances lat- er! I saw the Japanese enter the gov- ernment building district, mowing down civilians who fled at their ap- t e stantly Tony were shot nus emd ing stantly. Many sporting mood by the Japs who laugh- ed at the terror plainly visible on faces of coolies, merchants and stu- dents alike. It reminded me of a picnic of devils. Women were hunted down in all Chinese homes. If resistance was of- fered against rape the bayonet was theirs. Even 60 -year-old women and 11 -year-old girls were not . immune. They were thrown to the ground and raped openly in the December sun- light. Many were horribly mutilated. It was awful, too, to ,hear the screams of women coming from houses with barred doors. For one day we succeeded in keep- ing raiding .squads out of the Zone, but on the second night a large group of Japanese forced their way in and began rounding up glen and boys who looked physically fit, taking many civ- ilians with a few soldiers. The pris- oners were tied in bunches of 40 and 50 and led away. Ten minutes later we heard the rapjd. fire of the ma- chine guns, snuffing out the lives of young students with whom we had worked for years. On December 16bh, rape began In earnest. More than 100 women -sev- en of them librarians, from the Uni- versity -were snatched out of the Zone and hauled away in army trucks. Others were running frantically along back streets, darting into doorways seeking esckpe when a Jap was sight- ed. We segregated 9,000 women in one building in an effort to prevent their being assaulted. On that day 50 of our Zone policemen were led away and shot.

These Were • promptly torn: off by Jap .soldiers and the wild party continued unabated. Foreign a u d Chinese,. houses alike were entered as many as ten times daily by foraging parties. American flags on. Americari property were torn off and trampled in the dirt before our eyes. • Bloated • bodies lay everywhere. Dogs wandered from carcass to car- cass. The stench was terrific. When Chinese Red Cross.. sanitary squads at- tempted to rid the streets of the bodies, the wo7den coffins were ' tak- en from them and used for "victory" bonfires by soldiers. Scores of Red Cross worker -s were slain, their -bods les falling on the corpses they had been` removing. On December 20th, during another frantic appeal at the Embassy, a Jap- anese attache informed us that 'sev- enteen special civilian policemen would! arrive that night and • that or-" der would, certainly be restored. Sev- enteen policemen and 50,000 funnier - and -loot -crazed soldiers! On Christmas Eve all of Taiping Road, Nanking's most important shop- ping street, was in fl.'ames. I drove through showers of sparks and over embers and charred bodies to see the Japs, torches i.i their hands, setting fire to buildings after loading mer- chandise into trucks. That night Japanese military police were -detailed to guard the Interna- tional Zone buildings. They promptly found conifortable,places and went to sleep. At midnight- a squad of Jap marines crept up, bayoneted a Chin- ese Watchman, and carried three young girls away. Forty-three 6f the 54 men employ- ed as engineers at the city power plant were killed hi cold blood during the first few day.s of "the terror. Oe Christmas Day Japanese military au- thorities came to ask if we knew where the engineers could be locat- ed: +•Whey wanted to reopen the plant. It was small comfort to tell them their own men had' murdered them: Shortly after they left there ,wwas a knock at my office door. Outside, two coolies were supporting the black- ened body of a man whose eyes, ears and nose were burned beyond recog- nition. He had been bound with 40 or 50 others in a compact bundle; tins of gasoline had been emptied over them until their clothing was saturated. Then torches were applied. He had escaped death only by being on the outer edge. Two men from other groups similarly tortured were brought to us within the next few days. That afternoon men were brought to the Zone hospital for what assist- ance we could give them after they ,had been used for bayonet practice. They had been tied in pairs, back to back, and forced to wait calmly as possible while instructors showed re- cruits just where to jab their points for the most effective strike. Many such ''guinea pigs" were left for dead and brought to the Zone hospital lat- er. Most of them died. While 'wholesale execultions pro- ceeded without interruption, Japanese army planes dropped leaflets from the air: "All good Chinese who return to their homes. will be fed and cloth- ed. Japan wants to be a good neigh- bor to those Chinese not fooled ►,y monsters who are Chiang Kai-shek's soldiers." On the leaflet was a col- ored picture „of a handsome Jap sol- dier, a Chinese child held Christ -like in his arms. At his feet a Chinese mother was bowing !her thanks for bags of rice_ Thousands left our camps to re- turn to the ruins of their homes the day leaflets were first dropped. The list of atrocities next morning was appalling. Soldiers on the ground and in the air had obviously failed to synchronize the good -will year's be- ginning. Mothers were raped while their cthildren screamed in terror at their sides. I saw actual instances where three and four -year-olds were bayonieted. Families I knew were boarded up in their homes and burn- ed alive. Zone officials estireated that at least 2.000 women were as- saulted before they could return to our protection. Three days after Christmas a Jap- anese merchant ship ar:;ved from Shanghai crowded 'with Nipponese sightseers. Carefully they were herd- ed through the few streets• now clear- ed of corpses. Graciously they passed sweets to Chinese children and pat- ted their frightened heads. On New Year's Eve Chinese man- agerS' of our refugee camtps were call- ed to the Japanese Embassy and told that "spontaneous" celebrations were to be held in the city next day. Re- fugees were to make Japanese flags to carry in a joyful parade. The Jap- anese people. Embassy officials ex- plain'ed,'would be pleased to see mo- tion pictures of such a welcome to Japanese soldiers. Gradually the slaughter decreased. In March, a government radio station in Tokyo flashed this message to the world: "Hoodlums responsible for eo many deaths and such destruction of prop- erty in Nanking have been Captured and executed. They were found to be discontented soldiers from Chiang Kai-shek;s brigades. Now all is quiet and the Japanese army is feeding 300,- 000 refugees." fledal0 tri December 19t11 prQtiaised ly.

The area was buried 100,000,000 years ago beneath the sediments of an an- cient sea that divided North and South America.. Evidence of the missing land and sea was uneoveredy by Dr. Lewis B. Kellum, Associate Professor of Geol- ogy at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Ralph Imlay of the Univers- ity Museum of Palaeontology. A grant by the. Society will enable them' to complete their studies this summer in the Mexican State bf Sonora. As traced by the geologists, the continent had the shape of a bear's paw pointng• east and projecting 250 miles from' the southern border of Texas into an ocean that lay in what is now Central Mexico. Layers of different types of rock, set like leaves of a closed book, each with foesilized marirse creatures found during pre- vious expeditions, gave the men their first clues to the discovery. A shore- line •in the southern section of Ooa- bui•la, exposed by erosion, gave added information. "Although the:se studies have no di - Vett economic application," says Dr. Imlay, "they are of interest to both petroleum andfining geologists, be- cause of their regional scope and bearing on the ature and reflection in overlying strata of a continental margin, and their possible contribu- tion to knowledge of the factors which control ore depoliition. • "In geologic exploration for petrol- eum, the present trend is toward search for burled shorelines.
